BUNTS Though the Dodgers touched up James for 15 hits in game in Brave town yesterday, the hardy Bean eaters made their seven bingles couii for seven runs, the winning number. Nap Itucker, Reulback and Aitchison pitched for the Brooklyns. Evers was back at second for the Baves, and Whitted went to center. Each made a hit, and both registered runs.

The Boston Braves were victorious in five of the six recent games with the New York Giants. Rube Cook has made arrange ments for the Cubs to play exhibi tion games in Cuba during Novem ber. Of the 24 players batting .300 or better in the Federal . League 19 at e former American or National League players. According to unofficial National League averages the Pittsburgh Pi rates are last in team batting and first in fielding. No doubt the Cardinals and the Browns "will play to big crowds when the St. Louis city championship is staged next month. Catcher Roger Bresnahan has been coming through with some classy stuff at second base for the Cubs during the absence of Bill Sweeney.' Manager, Hinchman, of the Colum bus club has displayed the veteran John Titus, of Kansas City, as lead ing batter in the American Associa tion. Manager Clark Griffith, of the Washington club, is quoted as say ing; that the Boston Red Sox are the greatest' baseball club in the country. George Davis, the Braves' youth ful pitcher, is a Harvard law school student. He formerly bitched for the V lliams College nine and once had a trial with the New York Yan kees. V Duluth and Winnipeg put up a great battle for the Northern "League pennant, the Duluth team finally cinching the bunting the day before the close of the season. Neither the Braves nor the. Giants are very strong In the way of heavy clouters. Grant is the only Giant and Connolly the only Brave who has been able to travel In the .300. Hank O'Day tried to sign Mike Mowery, recently released by the Pi rates, but Sir Michael's demand for $800 a week for the rest of the sea son crabbed , the deal. ' The Davenport team, chajnpions Of the Three-r League, was one of the" very f eV teams In organized baseball that 'held? first ulace practically all through the. entire season.

New Recruit for Hookworm Force. The Hookworm Bureau of the State Board of Health announces the addi tion of another members to its force in the person of Dr. W. H. Kibber, of Morganton, N. C. Dr. Kibler is an A. B. graduate of the State University and a medical graduate of the Univers ity of Pennsylvania. He has had sev eral years' experience gin teachin scientific subjects in various schools and colleges in the State, and brings to the force a hearty sympathy for matters pertaining to rural sanitation and preventive medicine -in general. Dr. Kibler has selected the Mount Pleasant community6, in Nash county, where he begins his work this week this week. It is significant that ash' is the only county in theState which has been able to secure two com munity health officers at the same time. The other. Dr. M. E. Champion, is located at Red Oak, a live com munity a few miles north of rocky Mount. The cause for this good show ing in health " matters is due to the tireless activity of Dr. B. E. Wash burn, the whole-time health officer of the county. ' Similar to the work that Dr. Kib ler and Dr. Champion are engaged in are the Model Health Communities now in operation at Salemburg, Samp son county; Wrightsboro, New Han over county; Hallsboro, Columbus County; Philadelphus, Robeson coun ty. From all these communities cornel most satisfactory reports; in fact, the reports indicate that the work of the officers in some ' communities is nearing completion, which means new assignments are ready to be made. The work is open to any rural com munity in the State.

After the armies of Europe have been disbanded a new army of mi gration will invade the American shores.. The nations now at war will be impoverished. The costs of the war will fall heavily on the shoulders of the people, and to escape the Men taxes and straitened conditions, mil lions more than the million that has come annually to the United States may be expected. What shall be done with them? Just now there is a lull in the tide. But 28,000 came in at this port dur ing August, as compared with 103, 000 for August, 1913. The number of immigrants returning to Europe yearly has averaged 350,000, taking with them savings amounting to $275,000,000 or $30,000,000. This thrifty class, originally peasants, will for ysears to come remain here, and their money saved up should suffiice for investment in American farms. They live in the congested cities, or in the mining and factory towns. But their tastes are agricultural, they are' already good farmers, and their wish is to save enough to buy farms of their own. The many societies devoted to the distribution of immigrants in this country should wake up to their op portunity. . Those who have stimu lated the exportation of the immi grants' savings and the remigration of the thriftiest of them agents of steamships and of foreign govern ments, foreign financial institutions, and foreign real estate promoters have systematically kept the immi grants in ignorance of opportunities for investment in American lands, which are to be had cheaply, with low taxes and complete exemption from military service. The war has ended the business of these agents. The American societies may now preach the gospel of distribution un impeded. If they go into the east side of New York, into the factory towns of New England, and into the mining towns of Pennsylvania and the West, publishing broadcast in the alien tongues information about op portunities for investment in- Ameri can lands, their, work will not be unrewarded. The agricultural departments of the various States that need farmers to till their soils might now take a leaf from Canada's book. The Cana dian Government has for some years conducted an efficient advertising campaign to people its agricultural provinces. The States of the Union have now a chance to get the best farmers of Europe. Enterprise and plenty of advertising in foreign lan guages in all the big American cities will draw-thrifty, industrious savers, who know how to cultivate intensive ly, tut upon the farms. With this distribution well under way before the close of the war, when peace comes and the immir grant army is upon us, it, too, will be in the way of becoming distrib uted. There are thousands of immi grants already established on little American farms. New farm colonies Will have been established, to which the European friends and relatives of their owners will he attracted in stead of to the large cities. ' The evilsjpf congestion will be mitigated. A new source of wealth will accrue to this nation, wealth in money, but more especially in brawn and good farming brains. , More persons 8aw the two games of the Bf aves and ' Giants In Boston on Labor Day than attended all the games played in the Hub in i871, the first" year of -professional baseball in Boston, when the total paid admis sions numbered a . few over 70,00.0. 1 George Ktrcher of the Atlanta Southern League team, is" planning to go into 'vaudeville .

The figures of the forces being em ployed In the 1 war in Europe are so immense in their proportions that the mind fails to grasp the vastness of them. Take the -matter of the size of the Russian army which is being sent south to thd German frontier by the RCzar. . It is reported that it consists 'c-f some 8,000,000" men. That is an immense number and the calculation has been made that if these soldiers of Russia could be brought to America, and were formed in a marching fine abreast they would extend from New York to Chicago. Here's another calculation: If these eight millicn men were strung out in single file at a distance of sixteen feet apart, the line would reach en tirely around the world at the equator This great army of eight million men is equal to the combined popula tion of Norway and Sweden. It is i ecual to one-twelfth the entire popula tion of the United States. It is eighty times as large as the United States army can lawfully be in time of peace. And if it were increased by ten per cent it would be four times the entire population of the State of North Caro lina. Consider then the vastness of the numbers of soldiers of all the nations of Europe now at war, the immensity cf the loss in life and in resources til such a war as is being waged and it will be seen that there is need that peace be urged upon those nations in all possible ways.
