BRINGING UP

AMERICANS CAN FIGHT, GERMANS HAVE LEARNED s . Hun Press Correspondents Are Beginning to Take Yankes Very Seriously. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 7. The Americans are Ailing a continually growing amount of space in the battle narratives of the German war correspondents. The former semi-contemptuous references to their scanty number or lighting spirit are now rare. They are being taken very seriously. Both Schuermann and Dr. Koester, who write for the Frankfort Gazette and the Berlin Vorwaerts, respectively, report on the testimony of German soldiers themselves that the Americans are cool and daring In attack, although at times over rash, and despite losses, will come on again; , so that the Baden, Wurtenburg and Alsace-Lorraine troops who opposed them In the recent Argonne fighting, reap extra praise for holding out aa long as they did. One Baden regiment is reported to have performed what Is asserted to be the remarkable feat of "for a moment causing a whole American division to waver," and was only stopped by fresh American reserves and the advent of sixty battle planes. The American attacks, whenever they occur, are represented as failures by these correspondents. Schuermann says that the latest he hears is that Metz whose new governor. Lieutenant General Lequis, was appointed yesterday is to be a Christmas present for President Wilson. Describing the Argonne fighting, the feature of which was the employment of large numbers of light tanks, Schuermann says that the Americans thought tank war good sport. The Germans thought it equally good sport to pick them off with tank guns and mines and especially with hand grenades. The American prisoners, Koester ays, behave quietly and decently. The officers say, according to Koester, that America had no grudge against the German people and when asked whether America would have come in If there had been no U-boat war, they shrug their shoulders. S. A, L. IS GALLED OFF The Saturday Afternoon League Smoker that was scheduled for this evening has been called off by Sam Vigran because of the order of Dr. Bulla closing all public meetings. INVESTIGATE SHIPMENTS The Dayton and Troy Electric railway is believed to be accepting freight from Dayton. The Commercial Club haebeen advised that there has been no change in the embargo placed upon this railway for shipment. Secretary Ullman of the Commercial ClutT will probably go to Dayton or if necessary to Springfield, to see W. S. Whitney concerning this matter. . , Grey and Brown $6.00

GREAT LAKES TEAM AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP GREAT LAKES, Oct. 7. Great Lakes is ready to travel 2,000 miles to land the naval baseball championship of America. Holders of the Eastern title, through successive decisions over the crack Atlantic Fleet and the Norfold club, the Great Lakes Naval Training Station has issued a challenge to the Mare Island, Cal., champions for a post-season series. According to the plans of Lieutenant (J. G.) John Lavan, manager of the Station club, the trip west will be a series of short jumps if enough games can be booked with army cantonment teams enroute. For example, the Camp Pike team at Little Rock has accepted a two-game series. Guy Morton, of the Cleveland Americans is running the Pike team, and he recently engineered a successful set of games against Camp Funston. With Morton and Ray Schmidt, of Brooklyn, Muddy Ruel of the New York Americans and big Bill Fincher, of the Browns, they claim the strongest team in America. They are more than eager to meet the Great Lakes with its array of big leaguers such as Faber, Lavan, Thomas, Dyer, Johnson and Clemons. nut on the coast at Mare Island, however, is the main objective of the navy-Duffy Lewis club which incluaes Earl Hamilton, Rowdy Elliott. Swede Risberg, Howard Ehmke and Fred McMullin. A victory over Mare Island and the naval title goes undisputed to the big Inland station of Lake Michigan. .

thing is built of .stone. And wire fences are never seen, excepting around prisons as in the United States. They have dirt piled up around fields. The fields are about one-third as large as they are there but they are very nice at that. It makes the scenery very pretty as the fences are all green.
