Golf Links, QUAKER COACH WILL DEVELOP EARL H AM LINE Horace Whiteside Arrives in City Ready to Meet Football Material First Day of ( College. Coach E. E. Whiteside, the newly appointed director of Earlham athletics, arrived in the city this morning and immediately began planning work to be done at Earlham this fall. "I am anxious to get started "in the work and get acquainted with the men," he said relative to the opening of the football season. "I understand that at least seven of last year's varsity will be back at school this fall, and this will form a good nucleus for the team. I will issue the first call for football men the first day of school, September 15, and it is probable that the first practice will be held on that day." The new coach, who succeeds Chester Reagan as coach of the football, "basketball and track teams, is a graduate of Chicgo universiaty with the class of 1912. He played for three years on the Chicago university foottall team as guard. He was also champion heavyvweight wrestler of the university during the years he was &n school. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall. Coaches in Iowa. 1 Since his graduation from Chicago Itiniversity he has been coaching the athletic teams and acting as director of athletics at Waterloo (Iowa) high school. He has made a wonderful a-ecord during the short stay at that vity and had several flattering offers to coach college teams. He comes to Earlham well recommended as a coach tend gymnasium class director. Particular attention will be given to the development of the Quaker line this fall, according to his statement this morning. This department has been the weakest in the Quaker teams during the last few years, and since the present coach has played on the line himself, he is perhaps better acquainted with this department of the jgame than any other. "Granting that the players have an equal knowledge of the game, the position of linesman requires just as Inuch attention from the coach as that of the back field," he said this morning. "I will pay particular attention to this department of the game for it J)lays an important part in both defensive and offensive work." Loaded With Plans. The new coach is loaded with new plays to try out on the team this fall. He will be working under a decided handicap, however, in not being acquainted with the style of play of the Jndiana colleges. Basketball is also one of the specialties of the new coach, and particular attention will be paid to this form of athletics at the college. A special coach, however, probably will be employed at the college for baseball next spring, according to Coach Whiteside, who says he has given little attention to baseball. He will supervise the work of the track team, however, asBisted by Paul Brown, who coached the team last year. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "My attention was first called to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as twelve years ago. At that time I was seriously ill with summer complaint. One dose of this remedy checked the trouble," writes Mrs. C. W. Florence, tlockfleld, Ind. For sale by all dealers. AdvertlsemnO WITH THE MAJORS NATIONAL LEAGUE.

QUAKERS

MANAGER

Kenney Exhorts Richmond Team to Take Both Games of Double Bill From the Wiedemann. Dick Kenney is determined to have revenge on the Wiedemann outfit tomorrow and Monday, when the Quakers meet the fast Cincinnati team at Athletic park. Last year, when Kenney, was managing the West Covington, Ky., team, the Wiedemanns defeated him two straight and he does not intend to have the trick repeated on the Richmond team. Consequently he has put it up to the Quaker players as almost a matter of life and death if they win or lose the two games. To split even on the games would not be gaining anything, says Kenney so he is bound to win both games. To back his convictions, he will bring "Lefty James," the Cincinnati phenom to meet the Wiedemann Indiana pitcher Cefaula Monday afternoon. Vordenburg, however, will pitch the game Sunday for the locals and is expected to show them something, if he approaches the form he was in when the Quakers met Denison two weeks ago. The QuaKer line up will be the same as that used last Sunday against Connersville. Novack will catch the game riunday but will probably be relieved by Nnisely Monday afternoon. Berning, the Wiedemann catcher, is considered the fastest catcher in this territory but he will have to go some to beat Novack, according to the local fans who have been watching closely the work of the Quaker catcher this season. The outfield of the Wiedemanns is also especially strong. Manager Applegate plays center field and is considered the fastest player in Ohio. To Raise Curtain. The first game Sunday afternoon will be played between two all star teams from the Saturday Afternoon league. A tentative lineup was prepared at a meeting of the S. A. L. directors last evening but the definite lineup is not known. It will not be ascertained until after the league games this afternoon. This game will be called at 1:30 o'clock. Monday, the Senators and the Fairview Reserves contend for the city champonship. This game will be call ed at 1:30 and the big game at 3 o'clock. The lineup for the games Sunday and Monday is as follows: Wiedemanns Plummer ss and c, Buck rf, Newman if, Snyder 2b, Pfeister lb, Applegate cf, Morrisey 3b, Berning c, Lassing p, Puttman p, Cefaula PRichmond Netter rf, Merkle cf, Novack c, Popkins lb, Dahl If, Lenninger 3b, Sctuemker 2b, Cushing ss, Vordenburg p, James p, Knisely, utility. GUNMEN AT G. A. H. DAYTON, O., Sept. 5 Shooters have already begun to arrive for the fifteenth annual Grand American Handicap, which is to be held at the N. C. R. Gun club grounds next week. The number of entries this year is expected to break all records, as 466 have already entered. This is the second time that the shoot has been held in this city, the association amending its laws that it might return this year. HUNT FOR CRaZED MAN WHO SHOOTS BY LEASED WIRv-. PORTLAND, Ind., Sept. 5 Posses scoured the surrounding country today for trace of John Thompson, 50, who while cri zed with drink boarded an automobile in which a number of women were riding and shot and perhaps fatally wounded Miss Ruth Burkes, 20. The girl was shot through the left breast and lungs. Her condition was critical today. The others in the automobile at the time were Mrs. Kavanaugh and Mrs. Laura Flora. CREE MAY SUFFER FOR THIS SEASON In the farewell game of their recent series with the Yanks, the Tigers spread gloom in Gotham; first, by taking the game; second, by causing the injury ef Birdie Cree, one of the Yankee stars, and third, by showing up Old King Cole, who is not now the merry old soul he used to be. Cree's elimination from the game may be only for a short time but then again it may last for the remainder of the season. He received a badly twisted leg when he crashed into Cook when the two of them started for the same fly Mariartv raised in the eighth.

hours distant. The 'mails were practically suspended, and even telegrams from the ambassador (I received two or three each day, asking me to take care of certain people, to give certain information, etc.) came two or three days after they were sent, and letters two or three days later still, so full was the telegraphic service with military orders to which every thing else had to give way. How Germans Mobilize. But that mobilization was a wonder! If It were a great piece of clockwork with chronometer accuracy it would not have been more perfect. Not only had ever man received his orders months before, where he should report when the call came, but every horse And wagon, every automobile with its provision of benzine, in short, every object which could be devoted to military service, together with price to be paid, had been catalogued and nothing more was necessary but the general order to mobilize, specifying the day and hour where that applied to that particular object. These orders were posted in public places and the general movement began. The men j reported themselves and were given their uniforms and arms, each uniform ready and made to fit the man it was for. And then the military trains started freight cars, passenger cars, everything was utilized, the trains of interminable length, packed with troops, and passing every few minutes for a week. I stayed awake one night hearing them go by, as it seemed to me constantly. I heard a hundred and fifty trains pass our station that day. The troops were cheered as they went by, singing their patriotic songs, and on many of the cars was a big sign, "Nach Paris," showing their anticipated destination. Women Serve Food. Notices were posted asking the women to come to the station with food at certain hours and on certain days of the week, so many hours for Nauheim and so many for Friedberg, close by, and the women all turned with their baskets, the contents of these were spread on the platforms on improvised tables, while the soldiers ate and drank during the half-hour's wait. Then from our own little town and the country round about, the recruits came not yet in uniform, and each man with a still paper handsatchel, containing his belongings, and they marched wonderfully well, singing "Wacht am Rhein," and "Wenn ich komm, wenn ich komm Wenn ich widerum komm," and other patriotic melodies, but many who sang these hopeful words will come no more. It is incomprehensible to one living in a land where there is no compulsory military service, to see how, in a few days, a great nation can be depopulated of its strong men, not the young men only, for even those long exempt have been volunteering men as old as sixty and seventy, and sent for such service as they can perform. Over 1,200,000 volunteers, besides those liable! Only think of it! Industry Halts. The waiters and porters at the hotels are nearly all gone the men in the shops and the stores the cabmen and the farmers till after a while the streets begin to look deserted, and the great bulk of all who remain are women and children and the aged. Business is at a standstill, the most important industries in Frankfort look closed or deserted, and most of the factory fires are out. At the outset of the mobilization, the chief object .of. anxiety was the preservation of the railroad lines intact, so the movement of the troops could not be impeded. It was announced officially that the country was infested with French and Russian spies. Every little while the police would pass with somebody under ar rest. "It is a spy," the crowd would whisper. It was probably some poor devil anxious enough to get away. Then it was reported that a Russian had been caught at the station with a in his pocket and had been taken to Friedberg and shot. It turned out to be a German boy playing a prank, but the joke was ill-timed, and he was sent for two weeks to jail. Still there Vere some spies actually there, and tvo or three, I believe, were executed. A notice was posted that all French and Russians must not go near the station and must keep off the street running parallel with the railroad, with heavy penalties provided. Americans Exempt. Then when England declared war, this was extended to Englishmen. Then all these people were forbidden to leave the town and even to walk in the neighboring forest. Then their rooms and baggage were searched. But we Americans were exempt, and even the others were always treated with personal courtesy and respect, except a few Russians in the first days of the Russian spy scare. The railroads were splendidly protected. Every few hundred yards stood a man with a rifle, and a white band on his arm showing his official character. At each of the bridges there were several, and at the stations still more. Notices were posted that no one was permitted, under heavy penalties, to give any information whatever of any military even or transaction, so I refrained even from writing down from day to day the things I saw, lest a 12 North 6th

search made among my papers might afterward prove embarrassing. It was announced that French aeroplanes were seen hovering in the neighborhood. One of them was brought down not far away, and I understand, the motorman was shot. Automobiles were searched over and over aagin. 8earch Automobiles. I secured one to go to Frankfort, thirty miles away, in order to get a passport, and took with me three other gentlemen and a lady on a like mission. We, each of us, had to secure special passes from the American consul in order to get back again, and were stopped on our return eight times by the military, one of the guards actually aiming his gun at us. We had to secure another permit from the commandant at Hamburg before we could pass through that town, and at Friedberg we had to get out while an officer went through every part of the machine to see that no explosives were contained in it. It seems an automobile with bombs had been intercepted a short time before. Everything was good naturedly done, the honest German faces of the officers showed no hostility, but they were bound to perform their duty. One feature was characteristic everywhere all things were done with absolute thoroughness. The temper of the people was admirable. However much they regretted the war they showed no sign of impatience. There was no great whoop and hurrah though the troops were always cheered. But there appeared to be absolute unanimity in their determination and calm confidence in the result. I heard of an old woman who was carrying a heavy burden, but stumbled and fell down under the weight. Some one who aided her told her it was too heavy. She said sho could not help it; her three sons had now gone to the war, and there was no one else to do the work. And she added: "I pray they may come back, but if not, I am glad to give them all to my country." No Grumbling Heard. I have heard not a word of grumbling, save once in a wliile a few tears, as a cabman would tell me his only horse was taken, and be was too old to follow any other business, or a poor fellow would tell of his little children that had no support, that he had to go, but there was very little even of this. That automobile journey to Frankfort was interesting in many ways. As we passed through Friedberg there were long lines of horses brought in by the peasants; big sturdy animals, most of them draft horses, they seemed to be, useful for the artillery and

supply trains. The government pays for these in cash, and a vast sum has been accumulated for a war fund, during many years, much of it kept they say, in the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein on the Rhine. We had gone to Frankfort to secure passports. There was a great jam at the United State consul's office, and everything was in confusion. We filled out our blank applications and he forwarded them to the ambassador at Berlin, but it was nearly two weeks before the DaDers were finally eiven to us. Meanwhile no foreigner of any j nation was allowed to leave the country, either with or without a passport, j so the delay did not matter. Then I the ambassador sent word authorizing the consuls themselves to issue certain emergency passports, to enable us to get out of the country. And the consul sent a deputy down from Frankfort to Nauhein to take the applications of the three hundred Ameri cans there. Financial Troubles. But now something occurred to give us much more anxiety than the absence of passports. Our letters of credit were on London banks, England had declared war and they could not be collected. Communication with America by cable and otherwise was cut and even American Express checks for a while were not good. For some days the banks would pay nothing and those who had been in easy circum-1 Ktnnnps at nnrp hpcaine liprmiless. Then we became incredibly stingy and economical. I moved away from the hotel and took cheap but comfortable j lodgings with a nice, kind German laay wno saiu sue wouia wuu anu lane my checks if I couldn't afford to pay Cttsh. Everybody was very good to us and in many cases the landlords loaned money to their guests besides boarding them for nothing. Then the banks offered to pay $75 or $100 a week and we began to save up and accumulate. We might have to stay a year or two till the war was over and provisions might become scarce. For England's plan is to starve the Germans out. The government however regulated food prices and has permitted no extortion as yet. In spite of the uncertain outlook the American colony kept pretty cheerful especially those of us who had 'quiet lodgings in the villas or smaller hotels. We held a meeting at the Grand hotel however where most of the Americans were staying and where the air was seething with all sorts of news true and false and all sorts of plans for getting out of the country. The reservoir up at Griesen a little further along on the railroad had been poisoned with cholera germs by a Russian doctor, "Was it safe to drink water at Nauheim? The hotels were to be occupied by refugees from Metz by the wounded sent from the front by "French prisoners captured, etc. And then where were we to go? Etc. Etc. ' Other Troubles. "I kept out of it as much as ppssible but they put me on a committee to telegraph to the ambassador at Berlin asking his advice as to our best 12 North 6th (GMT & oo clock

course. From that time I kept receiving telegrams from the embassy one or two or three almost every day. First the telegrams said we must apply for passports to the consul at Frankfort who would forward them to Berlin for signature. Then the ambassador telegraphed he had authorized the consul to sign these passports him self, then, that passports were not necessary; then, that we could not get

out either with or without them; then, tnat Holland was the best place of exit; finally, after all of us had made our applications for passports, he sent on to me 300 application blanks with the request that 1 get them ailed out! Such was the confusion occasioned by the war, and the delays and interruptions of messages. Nobody could tell anything about anything. Then the ambassador asked me to see about getting the wife of the Brazilian minister and his family off for Berlin, as U I had any means of doing It! Represent U. 3. Then he sent a similar letter to ask me to get out the family of the Cuban minister to Brazil and the latter showed me a letter saying that I was the representative of the United States government at Nauheim and demanded that I secure passage for them! Then a letter from the ambassador was posted at the hotel asking all Americans to send their names, addresses, etc., to be registered at the embassy at Berlin. About two hundred letters were written in response to this and all these letters in batches of some twenty to fifty each were thereupon forwarded to me from Berlin without a word of instruction as to what I was to do with them. How was I to regisetr them at the embassy of Berlin hirndreds of miles away! Then at last the passports began to come, some of them were not signed at all, some of them left out the names of the wife or children, some didn't arrive. I had to go up to Frankfort for mine, tho they had telephoned to me it would be forwarded at once. Even getting to Frankfort was no easy matter for you haa to get a permit from the police to leave Nauheim. And it toon, half the day to go there and back though the place was only thirty miles away. Then the passports all had to be vised by the Dutch consul at Franort and finally another certificate haa to be procured from the local police authorizing us to leave the country as well as a permit from the commanding general at Frankfort just on the eve of our departure. All these blessed formalities seemed to occupy the greater part of our waking hours. Thank People. Before they were completed and before any of us had begun to move we had another meeting of the Americans at the Grand Hotel to express our gratitude for the kindness of the Nauheim police and to raise a fund for the relief of suffering both in Red Cross work and to help those who were stranded there without means. It seems that a good many of the Russians were in a very destitute condition. We were many of us willing to be quite liberal in our donations provided they could be paid in checks on American banks which were then and there quite uncollectable. But they took them all the same and there was a lot of gush and oratory and the fund was placed in the hands of the mayor who will realize on it as best he can! Then came the question how were we to leave? There were a lot of schemes to charter a boat down the Rhine, etc., etc.. but at last the authorities provided a series of special trains for Americans leaving Munich for Amsterday and Rotterdam and taking on some extra cars at Frankfort on the way. These cars were packed and a few passengers had to sit on their valises in the aisles. The journey which usually takes nine

IN TIME OF PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR In summer prepare for winter. War may not come, but winter te sure. Eight hundred satisfied customers in Richmond use Wolverine Furnaces. They are prepared for winter. Four years ago we failed to sell a certain Richmond business man his new heating plant. He said we were too high, but he found the other fellow was too low. He used his new furnace three winters, could not keep warm, burned 20 tons of coal a year, and then his so-called furnace went to pieces. Last fall he threw out the cheap furnace, put in the Wolverine, cut his coal bill in half, heated his house perfectly and his furnace will last as long as he lives. Guess work, as to the life of the furnace? Well, perhaps, we don't know how long our furnaces will last, as we have only been in business 35 years. WE LEAD Others try to follow. Investigate for yourself the kind of furnace work done in Richmond before the Marshall Furnace Co., commenced to install furnaces here. Our salesman is a "Heating and-Ventilating Engineer," who will, if you request it, make a plan of your home, work out a perfect heating system according to your individual needs, and tell you exactly what it will cost to install such a system complete. This does not place you under any obligation'', to buy our furnace and we make no charge for this work. Remember this we do not sell furnaces only, but we contract under a written guarantee to place a complete heating and ventilating system in your building that will heat your home satisfactorily or you need not pay for it.f Nothing but the best is good enough for our customers. Furnace right, installation right, guarantee right, price right, terms right. It costs nothing to investigate. BERT D. WELCH Heating and Ventilating Engineer.

Reach Holland. It seemed incredible as we wound slowly around the curves in the quiet and beautiful Rhine valley that less than a hundred miles away a terrific carnage was probably going on. We reached Cologne at midnight and the night was brilliant with searchlights penetrating the heavens in every direction looking for air crait which are liable to drop bombs In the city. At last we reached in the early morning the frontiers of Holland. A German officer came through the train, in spected all our passoprts and let us through. We did. not have to walk across the frontier, nor change cars, as many of these who preceded us had done. The "American train" was allowed to proceed without change to Utrecht and Amsterdam. But after we nad entered Holland we found that the military regime still continued. Holland, too, has been mobilizing to protect her neutrality. The stations and the railways were all guarded by troops. A few minutes after our train had left the bordtrX came the order. "Shut down the windows." We obeyed but I asked the conductor why we had to do it. "If you don't, you will be shot," was his answer. We soon crossed a long bridge and the guards who were protecting it probably bad orders to shoot anyone who was in a position to hurl a bomb at this important structure. Sails From Flushing. I stopped over at Utrecht for the day, rested a bit and took the evening train for Flushing to catch a steamer on the one steamboat line to England which has continued running during all the war. I reached Flushing about one o'clock in the morning and as I had telegraphed ahead for a cabin I slept on the boat all night. The steamers however, do not now run at night, that would be too dangerous in view of the mines that have been planted by the Germans in the North Sea and around the English coast. It was 11 o'clock the following morning before we started and a very full boatload there was of returning travellers. About six p. m. the English coast came in sight and we passed Dover amid a fleet of English cruisers, torpedo boats and submarines, that were guarding the channel. We landed at Folkstone and it was about nine at night when the long special train that met the boat arrived at last in the Victoria station in London. VILLAGE SCHOOLS TO OPEN MONDAY NEW PARIS. O..
