Hard AVork Necessary.
"While a very large number, of in
corporated banks ' and trust companies
throughout the country have not yet
reported any subscriptions to the Fed
eral Reserve banks," the statement
continues, "and while the Liberty loan
committees have unofficially reported a
number of large subscriptions which
have not yet been formally filed, even
making: .due allowances for these unre
ported amounts, the subscriptions thus
far received indicate the necessity for
the hardest kind of work on the part
"f the whole country for the balance
f the campaign.
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
requested subscriptions to tn amount

NAVY OF LONG DURATION
Amsterdam, . Oct. 11. According
to some reports here the discontent
in the German navy began eight
months ago and the men of the fleet
had reached such a nervous state
owing to the prolonged high tension
that only -a spark was needed to
cause an explosion. On board the
warships involved, it Is said, large
numbers of .pamphlets were found
dealing with the cause of the war
and asking why Germany became
the most hated nation in the world.
Others dilated on the vile influence
of junkerdom and the big manufac
turing interests and purported to
give, the truth about "the men be
hind the war."
Fairly reliable accounts put the
number of men condemned to penal
servitude at 30, whose sentencees
ranged from five to fifteen years,
while 80 to 100 were given lighter
sentences.
BAKING INDUSTRY
TO BE REGULATED
Plans to Contror Production and
Distribution Already Un
der Consideration
PROMPT ACTION PROMISED
Hoover Wishes First to Standardize
Bread, Flour, Ingrredtents, and
Either the Sice of the Loaf
or the Price.
Washington. Oct. 11. Early regula
tion of the baking- industry was prom
ised tonight by Food Administrator
Hoover. "
Plans to control bread production and
distribution already are under consid
eration and will be put into operation'
as soon as bread baking experiments
now being conducted in several cities
are completed. Municipal bread depots
will be provided if it is found that re
tailers cannot be controlled under a
voluntary arrangement. The baking
industry was left out of the general
food control to be put into effect "No
vember 1st.
Before taking any steps to deal with
the industry the Food Administration
fishes first, to standardize baking
flour; second, to standardize bread in
gredients, and, third, to standardize
either. the size of the loaf or the price.
The bread content will be establish
ed on the basis of facts disclosed in the
experiments under way. It is hjped
to establish a standard bread, contain
ing the same amount alwaya of lard,
milk and other ingredients. Flour will
be standardized through co-operation
of millers. In further standardization
the Food Administration still is in
doubt as to whether t will be best to
establish a definite sized loaf or to
price with the size as a variant.
If the size of the loaf is standardiz
ed, Mr. Hoover believes prides ean be
kept down through, competition, and if
the price, on the other hand, is stabil
ized, he believes competition will to
some extent keep the size of the loaf
from being reduced. .
If a licensing system is put into ef
fect it cannot be made to apply under
the food control act to retailers and
the price will cover bread at the bak
ery door. The plan for bread depots
will be put into effect, however, if re
tailers refuse to co-operate in holding
prices down.

FLANDERS REGON
SCENE OF HEAVY
1
ACT VI ii
Additional Rain Has Fallen, and
Time for Renewed Allied
Drive is Uncertain
RUMANIAN FRONT IS ACTIVE
Artillery in Macedonia Increases
in Intensity and Early Drive
is Probable
(Associated Press War Summary)
Comparatively little fighting activ
ity is in progress on any of the battle
fronts, except in the nature of recip
rocal bombardments. In Flanders
Thursday, both the British and French
troops kept to their trenches, neither
essaying attacks nor being forced to
sustain counter-offensives against the
ntfw positions they hold as a result of
Tuesday's drive. '
The big guns on both sides, however,
were shelling opposing positions vig
orously those of the allies in work
of destruction and those of the Ger
mans in the nature of disturbers of
the peace of the allies in their new
trenches.
Additional rain over this regtion has
acentuated the swampy condition of
the ground and it probably will be
several days before the British and
French again jointly unleash their
men for another raid against the Teu
tons. Wednesday night the French
repulsed a heavy counter-attack , east
of Draibank. The Germans during this
time let the British severely alone
with their infantry, but hurled masses
of shells into their line west of Passa
schendaele. Along the souther nfront in France
the Germans again have met with de
feat in attempts to capture French
positions on the east bank of ' the
Meuse in the Verdun sector. . The at
tacks were not made in force, being
more in the nature of trench raiding
operations.
The prospects of a return to heavy
fighting in Rumania, with the . Rus
sians the aggressors, seem good. On
the Rumanian plain and near Brailla
the Russians have heavily bombarded
the Teutonic allied position while the
the Germans in reprisal shelled the
important Danubian town of Galatz,
their shells causing several fires. On
the northern sector of the eastern
front near Riga thrOermans, after a
heavy bombardments pushed back the
Russians in the vlcinity-of the Pskoff
high road , .
Dally r the artillery duels in Mace
donia, with the Entente forces exert
ing the greater power, are increasing,
especially in the direction of Doiran
and north of Monastir and it is prob
able that at no late date the predict
ed allied offensive in this regtion will
begin. , . f
There have .been no developments
concerning the attempted mutiny
aboard German warships at Wil
helmshaven. Emperor , William, during
the political turmoil that had been
created by the revelations of disaffec
tion in the navy, is visiting "King Fer

LaFollette Denounces Some Press
Reports of St. Paul Speech
as "Grossly False"
SENDS COMMITTEE LETTER
Certifies to Accuracy of Charges
That Bryan Knew Lusitania
Carried Munitions ''
Washington, Oct. 11. Lines, of the in
quiry into Senator LaFollette's disloyal
speech before the Non-Partisan League
at St. Paul became more definite todav
with the Senate investigating commit-1
tee's receipt of a letter from the sena
tor outlining his position and submit
ting an approved transcript of the St.
Paul speech. ,
In substance. Senator LaFollette de
nied saying the1-United States had no
cause for war, denounced some press
reports of his speech as "grossly false"
and certified to the accuracy of the
record regarding his statement that
former Secretary Bryan knew of am
munition being in the Lusitania's cargo.
He asked to examine any witnesses
called by the committee! and to submit
his own testimony and expressed a de
sire to be heard should statements of
fact in his speech or his right to make
it te qeustioned.
The oommittee also received three
other stenographic versions of the ad
dress from the Minnesota Public Safety
Commission, .varying in no important
particular from the one submitted by
Senator LaFollette. and documents
from the 'State Department and Con
gressional Library regarding the Lusi
tania .question.
Tomorrow the committee will meet to
determine further action and probably
will temporarily halt the inquiry to
await a statement from Mr. Bryan, who
already has denied publicly that he
knew the Lusitania carried ' ammuni
tions. Public hearings probably will not be
held. Chairman Pomerene pointed out
today that the committee's power is
limited, first; as to the accuracy of the
speech, now regarded as settled, and
second, as to statements of fact therein,
under Investigation.

count of the death , of his daughter,
Loretta. 7 years of age.
Wakelin and his wife were origin

to manslaughter. The state contended
that when Loretta, or Tootsle, as she

on the morning of June 1, 1916, for a
book she had forgotten, she objected
to returning and that in a fit 'of an
ger Wakelin seized her more forcibly
than he intended and chocked her to
death. Then, in order to divert sus

The youthful left-hander fully re
deemed himself for the vicloust sally
of the Chicago club in the second game
on their home grounds when the Com
miskey Park, batters drove him from "
the-mound early ; in the contest, while
Kaiiff. after thirteen hitless trips to
the plate, finally found his batting
eye and broke through Pitcher Faber
for a circuit drive which paved . the
way for the 'Giants' onslaught that
later' was- to demoralize the White
Sox.
Schupp and Kauff Main Factor.
'The effect.i veness of Schiipp's hurl
ing and Kauff's batting was sufficient
to defeat the American League chart- '
Tiions. but the thrill of victory was
ontagious and their teammates were
only a stride behind them in the ruh
through the White' Sox trenches.
Only twice in the long history of
world series baseball has Kauff's feat
of two home runs In one game been
duplicated. Before the former batting
leader of the Federal League made his
two circuit drives the -honor was di
vided between Harry Hooper of the
Boston Americans of 1915 and Outfield
er Dougherty of the samei club in
1903. Hooper hammered two home
runs into the bleachers in the fifth;
game of the world series of two years ;
ago against the Philadelphia Nation-
als. while in the ancient days of the
post-season play. Dougherty establish
ed the record with his twin drives
against the Pittsburgh Nationals of
1903.
In shutting out the Sox without 'a
run, following a similar feat by Rube
Benton yesterday, Schupp also equal
ed fo rthe Giants' team as a. whole -a
double shut out which has been scored
few times since the beginning of the
present century. In 1908 thet Chicago
Nationals whitewashed the' Detroit
Americans twice -in succession, and in
1905 the Giants shut out the Philadel
phia Athletics four games out of five
while the only victory of the Mack
men was also a shutout by the Indian
pitcher "Chief" Bender. Christy Math
ewson, now manager of the Cincin-X
nati Nationals, and "Iron Man" Joe
McGinnity were the New York twirl -
! ers wno engineered .the Quadruple
whitewash of the Athletics.
There was nothing to forecast the
sensational developments of today's
game in the early innings. For three
sessions it was a pitchers' battle be
tween Faber and Schupp, with little, t
if any, advantage for either. Kauff
was the third man to face Faber, in -.
the Giants' halt of the fourth, "BUtna
and Hersog. having' failed to make
first base With two out and his rec-,
ord of not a hit in the series in thir- .
teen times at bat, a byword ambjng
the fans. Kauff was desperate. w - ,

. With a ball and a strike called
against him, he sawa "groove" ball
coming up from Faber's hand and tak
ing - a deep toe-hold in the batter's
plate, he flung the whole weight of his
body into the sweep of the bat. There
was a terrific crack and the ball flew
like a bullet over, second base and far
onward into second field.
