DECISIVE ASCENDANCY FOR THE
ALLIES ON THE FLANDERS FR(nT
CLAIMED BY SECRETARY FAKER
Points to Victories of Past Two
Weeks as Conclusive Proof
of Superiority.
WEEKLY REVIEW IS ISSUED
German Submarine Bases On Bel
gian Coast Threatened by the
British Drive.
SUPREME TEST IS NOW ON
Air Control and Shell Supply Big
Factors In Victories.
"Washington, Oct. 7. Decisive
ascendancy for the Allies in the
supreme test, of battle fronts now
takinsr place on the bloody fields
of Flanders is claimed by Secre
tary Baker in the weekly review
of war operations issued tonight
by the War Department.
Predicts Repeated Victories.
While it may be premature to assert
that the British war machine has
forced ;i decision over the Germans,
Mr. Raker says, the victories of the past
fortnight, threatening the submarine
bass "ii the Belgian coast, are con
clusive indications of Allied superiori
ty. With favorable weather, he thinks,
these victories will be repeated and ex
tended. The review, which is for the week
ended last night, makes no reference
to the American forces in France or to
the treat preparations for war going
forward at home.
"The attention of the world," it says,
"is focused on the titantic struggle
now going on in Flanders. "The battle
raging there is proving an engagement
of wholly unprecedented scope and po
tentialities. German Effort Futile.
"At the beginning of the week, ow
ing to bad weather, the Germans were
able to launch counter-attacks on the
positions recently gained by the Brit
ish. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Germans made use of smoke screens,
liquid Are and brought Into action an
imposing array of artillery in their at
tack against the advanced British
lines between the Tower Hamlets and
Polygon wood, as well as alone: the
Menin road, their efforts proved futile.
"It is significant, on the other hand,
that while the British were sustaining
the shock of German assaults success
fully, they were able to bring up suf
ficient fresh troops in order to launch
another offensive on an even larger
scale than the preceding one ,in the
face of the enemy's onslaught.
Slow But Sure.
"Slowly, but therefore the more irre
sistible, the Allied drive at the heart
of the German line in the west is
sweeping- onward.
"The wisdom of the British in main
taining a great density of front would
appear justified by the results achieved
'luring the past week. It must be
borne in mind that it is due to the
flepth of the British line as much as
any other one factor, that while the
enemy is still reeling under one blow,
the allies are ready to deliver another
and still a third.
"It has been characteristic of the
campaign in Flanders hitherto that
neither belligerent has attained what
we may call a decisive success.
Sound Strategical Move.
"The Germans have massed their
greatest war strength along this battle
front. To attack them at their strong
er point of resistance Is sound strat
egy. The defeats inflicted upon them dur
Jg the past fortnight are conclusive
Indications of Allied superiority. In
the lisrht of past experience it may be
premature to assert that the British
nave succeeded in forcing a decision,
Du- it may be stated with emphasis
'hat in no engagement -hitherto has
Bnch vigor, energy and concerted speed
f action been displayed.
"The full success of these operations
mns that the Belgian coast, with Its
aumerous submarine bases, will be
come untenable to the enemy. Zee

bals, lending out of Bruges are threat

British Guns Blazing the
Way For Another Big Drive
(Associated Tress War Nummary.)
Through squalls of rain and under
lowhanging clouds, Field Marshal Haig
is blazing away with his artillery for
another raid into the German line in
Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
week the British infantry has kept to
the trenches and hell craters, except
where forays were called for to realign
the new front or counter-attacks were
necessary to hold back weak German
attempts to capture lost terrain. But
the big guns never ceased their activ
ity, and day in and day out great
masses of steel have been blasting the
German points which are mapped out
for capture when the new drive Is
launched. The Germans are answering
the British fire on various sectors.

Particularly heavy is the bombard

14-YEAR SENTENCES
Charged With Killing Deputy
Sheriff In Connection With
East St. Louis Riots.
ONE PRISONER COLLAPSES
Cases Against the White Men Who Are
Charged With Complicity In the
Riot Are to Be Arraigned For
Trial Today. v
Belleville, 111., Oct. 7. Ten of the
thirteen negroes who have been on
trial here for a week charged with the
murder of Detective Samuel Coppedge
on the morning of July 2 last which
precipitated the East St. Louis, 111.,
race riots were convicted today and
sentenced to fourteen years each in
4.1 ..I.. i t
One collapsed when the verdict was
read. He had offered an alibi, claim
ing he was at a funeral when Detec
tive Coppedge was killed.
The jury, which was given the cases
at 11:30 o'clock last night, announced
at 1:30 this afternoon that an agree
ment had been reached. Judge Crow
was summoned from his home. Only
court attaches, the prisoners and
newspaper men were in court to hear
announcement of the verdict.
When the blacks filed into the court
room the verdict was handed to Judge
Crow by the foreman of the jury. None
of the attorneys for the defense was
present and for this reason the judge
polled the jury, asking each if the
verdict was his verdict. All replied
in the affirmative.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Farmer, representing the state, after
the verdict was read told the court
that the state had other charges
against the three negroes who were
acquitted and Judge Crow ordered
them remanded to jail with those who
were convicted.
Attorneys for the state expressed
satisfaction at the verdict, the oases
of the negroes being the first of the
riots cases tried. Tomorrow the hear
ings in the case of the white men in
dicated in connection with the riots
will be opened. Three circuit judges
each in his own court will hear the
cases against, the white men. It prob
ably will require several weeks to
complete the hearings!
A. P. WORKED CIRCUIT
28,000 MILES IN LENGTH
While the Sox and Giants Were Hitting
World's Greatest News Service
Was Alo Making a "Hit."
Chicago, Oct. 7. During the Satur
day and Sunday games for the world's
series the traffic department of The
Associated Press duplicated its feat of
last year in setting up the longest con
tinuous telegraphic circuit ever operat
ed for any other than experimental
purposes. Approximately 600 daily
newspapers which take the leased wire
service were connecteu directly with
White Sox park and "Hap" Felsch's
home run on Saturday was being
cheered and Faber's attempted steal of
an occupfed base was being jeered by
millions of "fans" throughout the
country before the former's hit had
landed in the bleachers or the crest
fallen pitcher had realized his mistake.
Altogether about 28,o00 m.-es of wire
constituted the circuit, which extended
from Bangor, Maine, to San Diego, Cal
ifronla, and from Galveston, Texas, to
Duluth, Minnesota. In addition to the
newspapers served, the lengthy baseball
wire was extended to several army can
tonments, where it was manned by
former operators of The Associated
Press who are in the national service.
Thus the men of the National Guard
units and the new National Army re
ceived their baseball returns "straight

BRYAN VERSUS L'FOLLETTE
May Testify As to Knowledge of Muni
tions Being Aboard Lusitania,
Charged By the Senator In His
St. Paul Speech.
Washington, Oct. 7. Trailed by
echoes of six months' momentous
achievement, the annual exodus from
the capital, following adjournment of
Congress yesterday, was in full swing
tonight. Most members either were
already at home or speeding thence.
Because of the recess, unless the new
session opens December 3, some mem
bers of both branches are remaining
here. Others will stay a few days to
clear up a few private and public odds
and ends, including matters of spec
ial interest to constituents neglected
during the rush of recent legislation.
Investigation by a Senate Privileges
and Flections Committee of Senator
LaFollette's alleged disloyal speech at
St. Paul, Sept. 20 before the Non-Par-
tisan League promises to be brief.
'The committee, headed by Senator
Pomerene, with Senators Walsh, James,
Dillingham and Fall will hold a pre
liminary mooting tomorrow to de
terminal procedure. They expect to
conclude the inquiry within a week or
ten days because of its limitation sole
ly to the accuracy of the recorded
speech and of Senator LaFollette's
statements made. Whether public
hearings will be held is to be determ
ined tomorrow.
Senator LaFollette and former Sec
retary Bryan may be the principal
witnesses as to whether Mr. Bryan
knew the Lusitania had munitions
aboard at New .York and urged Presi
dent Wilson to detain the vessel, as
stated by the senator, is the chief
point of fact at issue. Mr. Bryan al
ready has publicly denied the, state
ment. Mr. LaFollette was working tonight
on a statement regarding the contro
versy. Tomorow he hopes to submit
to the Pomerene comimittee a correct
transcript of his St. Paul speech.
Another investigation during the re
cess will be the Newland commission's
railroad inquiry, to be resumed at San
Francisco November 1.
Most of the members of Congress
plan to go on to the stump throughout
their districts for the second Liberty
loan and to discuss the causes and ob
jects of the war. Members of the
Senate and House Naval committees
plan to visit naval establishments dur
ing the recess, while members of the
military committee hope to inspect
many of the army's activities.
Many congressional leaders will re
turn to Washington in November to
begin preliminaries of legislation for
the December session. The House
Ways and Means and Appropriations
committees expect to begin work sev
eral weeks ahead on the new financial
and appropriation measures.

gan making speaking engagements for
the vacation fi4j0oA of Congress. Most
of them will appear in their own states

STOCKBRIDGE'S STATEMENT
REPUDIATED BY MR. STRANGE
Washington. Oct. 't. An unfavorable
response by Dr. D. E. Stockbrldge, of
Atlanta, Ga., president of the Farmers'
National Congress, to an appeal for aid
in the second Liberty loan campaign,
has been repudiated by Joshua Strange,
chairman of the congress' executive
committee. In a letter to Secretary
McAdoo, made public here tonight, Mr.
Strange says he deems the request a
recognition of the farmers and that the
executive committee was in no way re
sponsible for Dr. Stockbridge's action.
In connection with this letter the
Treasury Department gave out a state
ment explaining that Secretary McAdoo
withdrew his request after Dr. Stock
bridge had notified him that "the ap
peal meets with little response from
us," basing his position on the ground
that the secretary favored the McKel
lar amendment to the war tax bill in
creasing second-class postage rates.
Secretary McAdoo said in his letter
that as a matter of fact, he opposed
the amendment but asked whether, if
he had favored it, that was any rea
son for refusing to assist in selling

Washington, Oct. 7. Psychology,

ogists have devised a series of tests
for ascertaining the mental abilities
of America's soldiers.
The work will be started at Camps
Devens, Dix, Lee and Taylor where
160.000 men will be examined with a
view to determining their qualifica
tions either for promotion or for as
signment to special lines of work. The
efficacy of the formulas has been dem
onstrated by comparing successfully
the ratings obtained under the psycho
logical process with those arrived at
by the usual military methods.
The system was i 'armed hy a

BO
Yesterday's Win Put American
Champions Half Way To
World's Series Victory
! GIANTS USED 4 PITCHERS
Only Two of Their Seven Twirlers
Remain to Be Tested By
Rowland's Clan.
THE SCORE WAS 7 TO 2
Sox Superior On Both the Defen
sive and Offensive.
Chicago, Oct. 7. The Chicago Amer
icans are half way to victory in the
world's series clash with the New York
Nationals. Today the White Sox de
feated the Giants, 7 to 2, in the second
game of the titular struggle. The
teams are speeding eastward .toward
New York, where, on Tuesday, the se
ries will be resumed, and if the local
team continues to play the type of
game it has displayed here, supporters
of the Comiskey clan are convinced
that the Sox should at least break even
with the Giants in the two contests at
the Polo grounds.
The White Sox rolled over the Giants
today like a baseball Juggernaut, leav
ing disaster and dismay in their wake.
The victory was far more impressive
than that of yesterday and Avh'en the
teams left the field, the Chicago club
was subcharged with confidence, while
the New York combination was badly
shattered, both physically and in
morale.
The National League champions were
obliged to use no fewer than four
pitchers this afternoon and at the close
of the second day of play the White
Sox had sampled, with satisfactory re
sults from their standpoint, the service
of five of the seven whirlers who form
the twirling corps of the Giants. Only
A Beifton And--DenMsree-'remain unsco reli
ed and it will be a problem for Mana
ger McGraw to select a pitcher who
can hold the Chicago batters in check
even on the home diamond.
Both at bat and in the field the
White Sox maintained the impressive
advantage which they showed in the
opening game. The offensive and de
fensive methods and play of the Amer
ican League standard-bearers was far
sunerior to that shown by the New
j York club, and in no department of
the national sport did the Giants ap-
pear to have the edge on their rivals.
Some idea of this superiority is gain
ed from, a comparison of the figures of
the two games to date.
I The Whitepox have scored nine runs
to three for the Giants; twenty-one
hits to fourteen, which have netted the
local club 26 bases to 17 for the Giants;
while in stolen bases the Sox lead 4
to 1. In individual batting honors
alone do the New Yorkers have the
edge, for Robertson, Holke and Jfc
Carty have reached the .500 mark in
batting, with pnly two White stick
wielders have reached or surpassed this
standard. John Collins leads all the
batters with a percentage of .600- and
Joe Jackson Is second. 100 points be
hind his pace-making teammate.
There are features of the doul !e
victory which cannot be expressed in
figures and these have been the out
standing elements which have encour
aged the adherents of the Chicago
team to believe that ultimate complete
demonstration of their claim regard
ing the superiority of the White Sox
team is but a matter of a few days.
In field strategy, native shrewdness
and individual and collective dash the
men of Rowland have outshone the
New York players led by McGraw and
it will require a remarkable effort
when it reaches its home grounds to
check the Chicago team in its imper
ious run for the championship. Some
of the Giants believe such a feat is
pAssible once the team appears on its
home ground, before thousands of fans
whp will encourage the Giants to their
highest efforts. If they can overcome
a lead of two straight victories, even
under suoh favorable psychological
surroundings, it will be a remarkable
exhibition of sameness and determina
tion. In the two games played at Comis
key Park, the Ghicagb team had the
greater portion of vocal support but
the Giants have not betn without
their rooters who rose manfully at
every opportunity to urge on the Xa
ili : ' . "-es.
There were not as many occasions
for thi vocal encouragement in the
second game for, with the exception of
a few moments early in the game, the
Sox held a commanding lead and their
cohorts nionopolized most of the cheer
ing. While the official, attendance was
announced as identical with that of
Saturday, several thousand more per
sons eritnessed the play, although they
did no contribute to the coffers of
either club or the privilege. Every
building, fence or tree overlooking the
park carried a much larger burden of
fans than was the case yesterday and
their cheers mingled with those of the
spectators within the wall.
The official figures of the National
Commission gave the attendance as
an even 32,004 and the gate receipts
as J73.152. Of this amount the play
ers received $39,502.08; each club $13,
167.36 and the National Commission
$7,315.10.
The weather conditions were more
favorable for play today .than on Sat
urday, but tbe game consumed consid
erably more time. The eight and a
half innings were played in two hours
and thirteen minutep, I as compared
with one hour and forty-eight min
