Sl'XOAY GAME NOW.
(Awlatcd Prfsn Dltpatch )
•"hieago, Sept. 4.—Prevented by rain
from staging the fir*t gume of the
world's series today, the Chicago Na-
tionals and Boston Bed Sox spent the
day under cover in preparation for the
game tomorrow, which weather per-
mitting. will inaugurate the last strug-
gle for the premier baseball honors to
be played during the war.
Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cuba,
and Manager Barrow, of the Boston
club, kept their men closely segregat-
ed today, working out problems of de-
fense and attack preparatory to the
opening round of the battle tomorrow.
Both leaders expressed confidence of
the outcome.
The only outcropping of news which
enlightened an otherwise dismal,
gloomy sesfion of the "hot $tov«*"
le.igue, lay in the inquiry to Dave
Slican, the lted S<.x second baseman,
who si lit the middle ftngcr of his
throwing hand during practice, and
who, it was said, may not appear in
tomorrow's line up. Jack Coffey was
picked to substitute for Shean with a
possibility that Fred Thomas, who is
on a furlough from the Great I.akcs

Shining partieles on each granule—a result of the
Grape-Nuts process of cookery, which turns the

The sweet, nutty flavor of Grape-Nuts requires
no added sugar and where fresh milk or cream is
not obtainable condensed or evaporated milk fits
in finely.
No sugar is needed, and but little cream or milk,
and this makes Grape-Nuts a very desirable ce-
real these saving days.

ed Into the fray to play third base.
August Herrmann, chairman of the
national baseball commission, enliven-
ed the hotel corridor gossip with the
announcement that he expected the
series to net $15,000 for war charities.
He said indications that the total re-
ceipts here would approach a quarter
of it million dollars to be divided be-
tween the players, clubs. Iffifucs and
commission with the split for the run-
ner up. and third and fourth place
clubs.
Mr. Herrmann said his estimate was
based on the receipts of lart year,
which In round numbers totalled
$350,000.
Possibilities of a Sunday game In
Chicago loomed large today. Over-
cast skies augured 111 for tomorrow's
scheduled contest and it was announc-
ed that In the event of another post-
ponement or a tie game the first con-
test at Boston might be put over un-
til Tuesday and a game staged in Chi-
cago on Sept. J. The club owners
were frankly In favor of this plan.
"ltig Jim" Vaughn, the most con-
sistent winner of the Chicago Nation-
als this season, was a favorite among
the mound possibilities fur tomorrow.
It was admitted that the choice of
the Chicago twirlers was between
Vauphn and Tyler, both left banders.
Boston's choice for mound duty was
in iloubt. Harry France, president of
the club was authority for the state-
ment that whoever v.as chosen, it
would not be "Babe" Ruth, Intimat-
ing that Ruth's prowess with the bat
was considered a highly important
factor in the series. It was believed
that Manager Barrow would give
Stays preference over "Bullet Joe"

Nearly a hundred persons were in the

The force of the blast tore the

war poster* and canvas banners
stretched across the front of the en-
trance and filled the street with pias-
ter, stone and broken glass.
The streets outside were soon roped
th^ir way across the Hlndenburg
line on an elpht mile front wiili Cam-
brai us their objective. The major
enemy resistance along the whole six-
ty mile battle front from the Ecarpe
to the Oise, he said had be mi en-
countered and overcome by the British
and the swift advance of the French
troop* l.ist week when they gained five
or six miles on a twenty-five mile
front in a single day, was due largely
to withdrawal forced upon the enemy
In the north.
Allies Ad\mice Is Rapid.
General March pointed out also,
as Indicating the rapidity wit'.i which
the battle front is uhiftinir under the
steady drive of the allied armies, that
the British had pressed ahead fourteen
miles since they launched tnelr at-
tack on Aug. 21.
Even as General March t .lK. <1,
word came fron the battle front that
the enemy had been hurled further
back alons the Dounal-Cambral line
and Indicating the British early to-
day stood within five miles of this
Cambrni pivot to this German defense
position. Later reports both from j
Flanders and on the Vesle, far to the;
south, indicated that new retirements
were in progress in both places.
Now Allied Blow Expected.
In all dispatches from abroad offi-
cers hero noted again today, veiled
indications that some new and impor-
tant phase of the battle is to be ex-
pected shortly. Thero was an air of
expectancy among both un-official
and semi-official commentators which
produced the impression that Marshal
Foch is preparing for a new blow.
If this is tho case It is believed here
that the employment of General Per-
shing's army may well be included in
the plans, the object being to hit with
full force of the American and allied
armies now that the German disor-
ganization appears to be spreading
and his line wavering. The reports to-
night Indiaated to many observers
that tho enemy was now withdrawing
along his whole front from Flanders
to Rheime. If it develops that the

"The offense of which these soldiers
were guilty is one of the greatest grav-
ity. The government relies upon its
soldiers for the defense of Its liberties
and when soldiers, forgetting their ob-
ligations, break over the restraints of
discipline and become a riotous and
murderous mob, the very foundation?
of order are shaken. When peaceably
disposed and innocent citizens are the
victim* of th^s sort of riot a stern re-
dress of their wrongs is the surest
protection of society against their re-
currence."

the court was properly constituted,
was composed of officers of experlente
and sobriety of judgment^ and the
rights of the defendants were sur-
rounded at every point by those safe-
guards which a humane administra-
tion of the law accords to those charg-
ed with grave offenses. No legal er-
rors, prejudicing the r.ghts of the ac-
cused have been found; Indeed, tho
seriousness of the cases appears to
have challenged tho attention of the
military authorities from the outset

THE PARIS BOURSE
By FRANCIS H. SISSON,
Vice President Guaranty Trust Com-
pany of New York.
America may well look to France
for example and inspiration in prepar-
ing to develop her foreign trade after
the war. In all history there is no
people whose rising to meet a seeming-
ly overwhelming assault upon every-
thing they consider worth while has
had such power over the emotions of
mankind. There has been a complete
surrender of the naton as a whole to
the Idea that every available agency
should be utilzed for the single pur-
pose of winning the war. France has
sustained every shock of war. Some
of the fairest portions of her territory
have been overrun, and others are use-
less except for military operations.
Now, with characteristic adjustabili-
ty, the French are transforming emer-
gency into opportunity. In all their
preparations for reconstruction when
peace comes they are applying the
principles that have been at the foun-
dation of their efficiency lh the war.
They propose to keep mobilized for a
considerable period after the war is
over that spirit of unity, cooperation
and concentration Id enterprise that
bas kept them from vassalage since
the war began.
France sees clearly the double na-
ture of her problem. She must re-
store the country itself and most re-
establish Its relationship with other
countries. In doing both she looks to
the United States for help. She pro-
fuses *.o purchase In this country vast
erpplies of raw material, building sup-
plies and machinery, which she cannot
get from her colonies or from other
nations engaged, like herself, in the
work of rehabilitation. She proposes
to pay tor these things and to meet
tke debt* the now owes by selling to
[fcu country not only an increased
quantity of those things in the manu-
facture of which abe excels, but also
PARIS OFFICE OP THE
GUARANTY TRUST CO. OF NEW YORK
those things for which this country In
the past has looked to Germany. She
refuses to consider resuming purchases
of raw materials In Germany. She be-
lieves, too, that we shall rather buy
from her than Germany.
France's determination to eliminate
Germany from future economic rela-
tionships Is well Illustrated In her
plans regarding the future of the
chemical Industry. The French intend
from now on to develop to the limit that
production of raw materials for use in
the manufacture of chemicals for
which the necessity of war has proved
their capacity, and to Increase greatly
the number of their factories engaged
In the manufacture of chemicals. New
companies been organized, and
capitalizations have been Increased
since the war began, and special
schools are graduating chemists.
The Republican Committee of Com-
merce. Industry and Agriculture,
which was founded In 1911 under the
auspices of the Ministry of Commerce,
has been surveying the possibilities or
the French colonies and of friendly
countries to ascertain where products
formerly Imported from Germany are
to be obtained. The French govern-
ment is now concluding agreements for
materials with countries which, It Is
hoped, will proTe to be permanent
sources of supply. .4
In preparation to meet German com-
mercial competition after the war the
French are trying now through the
medium of great fairs, like those at
Lyons, to acquaint all the world with
the excellence of their wares, and also
to learn from the exhibits of others
where French importers may look for
their requirements.
The French war debt at the close of
this year probably will be nearly $24,-
000,000,000, or about four times what
It was before the war. For several
years France has been a lender to
Russia, and the present state of that
~ *J naarnent of
this debt Probably Great Britain and
the United States will help their ally
with this burden, but even then the
task will take time to accomplish.
France has certain elements of
strength, however, upon which she Is
relying to restore her fonner prosperi-
ty. She has a splendid climate, a rich
soil and an Industrious and thrifty
population. With her coal and Iron
mines, her crops of wheaf, grapes,
hemp, flax and jute, her skill In the
manufacture of leather, hosiery, cotton
goods, glassware and silk goods, her
future Is exceptionally bright There
will probably pass from view, for a

time at least, that France of highly
specialized, highly Individualized and
artistic manufactures to which the
world turned for tasteful luxuries.
Her leaders look forward to a long pe-
riod of standardized, quantitative pro-
duction for the markets of new coun-
tries. They expect also to exploit the
colonies that can purchase raw ma-
terials and absorb finished products.
Until her debts are paid France will be
a nation of traders.
France (its gone steadily toward her
goal of bringing foreign trade nnder
the strictest control, and her govern-
ment proposes to Insure the country
against any private Interference with
the work of rebuilding and rehabilita-
tion.
She must have easy and cheap com-
munication with h*r colonies and with
other countries. The prime essential
Is ships. All sea going vessels have
been requisitioned for »>»enun*B»
ice. A reaakl Is pah) by the govern,
ment and an allowance for the ex-
penses, maintenance, working capital
and other things made. Ship owners
themselves manage their fleets and nrs
encouraged to make them as effective
as possible by the distribution of
bonuses and the replacing of ships that
are sunk.
Ships cannot now be built In France.
The Minister of Maritime Transport
and Merchant Marine holds that to
bring materials from the United States
or Encland would handicap French
shipbuilders because of the cost of
materials and transportation. This
would mean that French exporters
would have to pay higher freight rates
to theowuers after the ships were In the
water. This would place not only ex-
porters but all French Industry under
a handicap in the competition for after-
war markets. It Is proposed, there-1
fore, that the state shall replace de-
stroyed ships, as it can buy materials
more .cheaply, and therefore will be
able to contract for new ships on a
basis of insuring reasonable rates to
the trader. The government contracts
to replace ships in this manner within
three years after the war, these ships
becoming the absolute property of
those from whom their equivalents
have been requisitioned.
On the other hand, the Ministry pro-
poses to build a state-owned fleet for,
the colonies, which will be 1

can dock. The government plans far-

iterranean to Algiers and Tunis.
While France cannot avoid makif :
extensive purchases of building mate-
rials and machinery abroad, she ph /

Wheat, barley and rye are grown < •-
dinarily, but the war has bronr' t
many changes, and the French are 1 t-
ting acquainted with the ehe; er
cereals, such as Indian corn, niilee
and rice (lour. In the government re-
port cn war economy it was recom-
mended that every parcel of soil not
cultivated be sown without delay with
wheat, barley, Indian corn and oats,
and planted with potatoes and vege-
tables.
Legislation to increase agricultural
production Is being framed. Deserted
territory will be cultivated. A baek-
to-the-farm movement has been Inau-
gurated, and bonuses are to be t;ive»
to those who abandon their ancient1
Implements for modern agricultural
machinery.
