Again tho German effort to surround

CHILDREN MADE SICK;
MILK TO BE EXAMINED
Hnddonflold Littlo Qncs Show
Symptoms of Arsenic
Poisoning
Iladdonfleld school and health author
ities and physicians are endeavoring to
learn the nature of some strango poison
that they think caused n dozen school
children to become violently 111 last night.
Several of the pupils In the public
schools were considered In a serious con
dition last night, but Dr. AV. H. Smith,
the town's health officer, said today he
believed the patients All out of danger.
Since several of tho sick pupils had
been drinking milk said to have been
obtained from the same source, the med
ical men and health authorities nro In
clined to believe that the Illness may
have been caused by some kind ot poison
In this food, which many of the young
sters drank In their homes. They have,
therefore, sent a quantity of the liquid
to the Stato health officials at Trenton
for analysis.
Tho symptoms arc snld to bo much
like those of arsenic poisoning, and that
an early Investigation may be made.
Borough Clerk Allan Clymer and tho
health officials havo urged the Stato
chemists to give a reply as to the nature
ot the contents of the milk as soon
as possible.
Doctor Smith and other phystclans,
however, are not positive that the Illness
is duo to poison. Thoy are not ready to
say Just what caused It. While there are
Indications which are common as symp
toms of arsenical poisoning, none of the
town's physicians would say tho children
had been poisoned. They prefer to wait
for the report of the Stato chemists. They
admit they know nothing positive regard
ing the Illness.
Two children who were most seriously
111 are sons of Mrs. Robert S. Irving, one
of the most active workers for woman
suffrage In Now Jersey.

victory this afternoon when the Phillies
took the measure of the Red Sox In their
first clash of the world's championship

The Evening Ledoeh was the first

board when newsies rusned Into tho en
thusiastic throng Jamming the street In
front ot the Kvenino Lkdoeu scoreboard,
rhovlng copies of the paper, with the
complete box score. Into tho fans' hands.
The scoreboard bleacherltcs eagerly
snatched the papers that told them In
black and white that Alexander tho
Great had triumphed again and that Pat
Moran's men were on their way to the
world's championship.
"How did they do It so fast?" queried
one fan In astonishment, as he gazed at
the box score. "I've waited 33 years for
this and could have waited a few seconds
longer, but It's nice to know soon."

SERBS MEET TEUTONS
ATHENS, Oct. 8.
A squadron of Anglo-French warships
from the Dardanelles Is standing oft Ded
egeatch and Is preparing to bombard the
Bulgarian fortress, according to advices
from Salonika. Dedcgeatch Is Bulgaria's
only port on the Aegean Sea.
Bulgarian troops are being sent to
Dedeagatch, as a result of reports that
part ot the allied troops taken to
Salonika will attempt to capture that
Bulgar seaport, Sofia reports. The entire
railway line between Muntapha PaBha
and Dedeagatch, part of which runs
through Turkish territory. Is now being
operated by the Bulgarian military es
tablishment. Accounts of n Russian naval attack
on the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Var
na, also unofficial, are credited here.
Premier Zalmls and his neutrality Cabi
net havo decided that the terms of tho
Serb-Greek Alliance do not require tho
Intervention of Greece In the war to de
fend Scrvla.
This decision, completely Indorsing the
position taken by King ConMnntlne, was
reached at an all night session of tho
ministry, which adjourned early today
after drawing up a program which will
be presented to the chamber of deputies
on Monday.
The Cabinet program Is that Greece
must be absolutely neutral, but nt the
same tlmo Greece must continue Its mili
tary stato of preparedness.
According to semi-official statements
made today, King Constantlne has made
a careful study of the pact with Servla
and believes that It does not require
Greece to support Its former ally under
present conditions. M. Ventzelos took
the contrary view.
Desperate resistance of the Austro-Ger-man
drives into Scrvla across the Dan
ube, Save and Drlnaltlvers Is reported to
day In dispatches from Nlsh and Rome.
Nlsh claims the Save invasion has been
repulsed.
With the great Austro-German offensive
to cruh Servla Anally under way, Bul
garia Is now reported to have struck her
tlrsi blow In behalf of the Teutonic allies.
In addition to tho German and Aus-tro-Hungnrlnn
troops, variously estimat
ed at from 400.000 to 1,000,000, driving
against the Serb positions on the Danube
and Save River fronts, a Bulgarian army
has crossed the frontier Into Servian
Macedonia, according to advices from
Rome.
Nlsh, the Serb capital, has been bom
barded from the air. An aeroplane which
flew from Bulgaria dropped sheels upon
the Salonlka-Nlsh Railway and upon the
Servian caplt.il, killing five persons and
wounding two others.

Will Win Supports Amer
ican League Team
Connie Mack, rooting; for Boston, was
a feature of the came today.
Wearing his usual sphynx-llke expres
sion Mark, with his wife, occupied a box
anions the guests. It was with a smile
of satisfaction that he watched the Bos
ton pitchers warm up, but the smile faded
when he sized up the Phillies' (lingers.
"Art you for the Phillies?" he was
asked.
"No, I would like to see Boston win,"
he replied,
-Why'"
"Because Boston is an American League
team," said Connie, In on emphatic tone.
Just then Jack Barry, former Athletic
star, who was under Connie's wing for
many seasons, approached and extended
his hand.
"flood luck to you, Jack," said Connie,
"Thanks," replied Jack as ho trotted
off to round up his men.
A number of loyal rootors for the Phil
lies heard the remark and glared at Con
nie with an air ot hopelessness.
"What can you expect?" said one.
"That's right," said the other. "But
wait." '
Pat Moran, leader of the Phillies, and
Bill Carrlgan, manager of the Boston
tenm, declined to comment on the out
come of the game.

"Discoverer" of Alexander Sees His
Protege Triumph Over the
Boston Red Sox
There may have been happier fans than
Joe O'Rourko after Alexander beat the
Red Sox today, but they were bard to
nnd. For Joe, who tipped Aleck off to
the Phillies, thought he was going to do
without seeing his protege twirl tho Phil
lies to victory, Inasmuch as he, like 40,
000 other fans, had no pasteboard to gain
him admission.
But Stanley V. Mastbaum, moving-pic-turo
magnate, heard of Joe's plight, nnd
he saw to It that Joe got a box seat. So
Joe nnd Mr, Mastbaum sat In Box 13, on
the left, this afternoon and saw their
baseball Idol wipe the Sox In the dust.
"Superstitious? Not a bit of it." said
Joe. 'Numbeis don't mean anything
when Aleck Is putting the ball over the
pan."

and the sound of the speeding ball as
