BOSTONV Oct 7. It's a p"lp pf a day.
The sun is out and there's Just1 touch of
the old frappe In the air.
Tho Ninth Regiment Band, which Is
carded to escort tho Red Box into, Braves'
Field later on today, woke mo up this'
morning practicing that well-worn and
well-loved tune, "Teesle."
I sneaked down the bacc way to the
Held hero and ran Into Drum Major Cough-
lln practicing like a wolf with his baton.
He tosses the old stick In front of the band
and Is working out great.
Babe Ruth and a bunch of the Sox Just
arrived at tho grounds In Babe's nivvec
Babe is a hound At the wheel.
There's an awful mob at the bleachers
gato now and quite a crowd easing In al
ready. The bleachers will be packed in
half an hour.
Th thrre-dollir seats have been gone
for two days. President Lannln offerM
ten dollars for every1 nine' dollar ticket
returned to htm and guarantees to sell it
immediately at the ticket window for nine
berries. They expect 45,000 people at the
quarrel today, but could have sold 76,000
tickets if the fences had been further
apart.
They look upon you as a simp if you
say Brooklyn up here. Every one you ask
about the game puts his mitt to his face,
covering his smile, and says, "Ruth, Leon
ard, Mays ha, ha, ha: good-by."
Jack Doyle, the golf pool king, Just blew
in, looking for a seat. Jack is nil dolled up
In brown and is betting on. the Sox. He
says that Brooklyn excels In one position
only first base.
Lee Magee is sitting back of me. He's
wearing a big overcoat Lea Just talked
with Mike Mowrey, third sacker of the
Dodgers. Mike wanted Iiee to tell him what
he thought- "I told hira," chirped Lee, "that
his mob will face considerable Dingers and
that If they hit tho ball when they are
supposed to that it would be all over. See
that center-Held fencoT" asked Lee. "It's a
mile from the plate, you know, but If the
Dodgers get their lamps on the'plll they'll
tear all the paint off that fence, but If they
don't, you'll see the greatest Imitation of
boys swatting flies that you ever lamped at"
The boys in the bleachers' seats are now
unwrapping the sandwiches. Little Red
Sox flags are fluttering all over the stands,
IC C. B. Just blew- In smiling. Says he's
doing a ball game for the first time jn four
years.
"Tho first game I ever did was in Seat
tie," he says. "I -did not know beans about
the game, but when they sont mo out I told
them that I had Sam Crane tied hand and
foot. I learned how to keep, score with
thse queer marks and when It was over
I went back to the oce and forgot what

The first concerted offensive by tho

great attempt to drive the Bulgarians
out of Greece, Gains have been scored
by tho British, French, Italians and
Serbians in tho latest series of attacks
against the German allies.
Terrific losses have been inflicted on
tho Bulgarians in tho Dobrudja, where
tho Russo-Rumanlan armies have cap
tured tho heights between Karabaka
and Besaul.
Chief1 interest continues to be di
rected toward tho Balkans, especially
because of tho lull which has settled
down over the western battle front.
Only fighting of minor importance has
taken placeMn France during the last
twenty-four hours, but there has been
another great burst of nerial activity.
German aeroplanes threw twenty-flve
bombs on the French fortress of BeK

attacked the new railway station' of-the
Germans at Vignuellesdropping thirty-
five projectiles. The German machines,
one an Albatross, were shot from, the
sky at Comblcs.
On tho eastern front, where the
Austrb-Germans are hard ' pressed,
stubborn counter-attacks have been d
livered in an effort to check the re
newal of the Russian advance toward
Lemberg. Bucharest officially admits
a retirement In Transylvania, but fight
ing Is still In progress upon Hungarian
toil.
Kedeagatch, the Bulgarian port on

The foVotctng tnall dispatch frofo the
Hague declaring that alt the belligerents'
except France were rtady to discuss peace
two month ago may be ulgntficant in view
o current peace rumor. Earlv in the
summer the Italian censor patted a Rome
dispatch to the United Press stating that
It teas the impression there that France
alone of all the belligerents teas not read
for peace.
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
United I'rni Starr Cormpondtnt.
TUB IIAGUB, Sept. 17 (by mall).
The Dutch Government only two months
ago sounded the European belligerents on
the prospects of peace, the United Tress was
Informed today. Kvery belligerent, except
France, expressed a wllllngness,to enter an
Informal discussion. France's reply was
such a' fiery refusal that one person who
learned Its contents described It as an
ultimatum.
(A noma dispatch to the United Press
yesterday carried the first Intimation that
Holland had been putting out peace feelers.
This dispatch stated that the Allies had
Informed Holland that peace overtures, at
this time wluld be construed as a pro-German
move). ,
Dutch officials not only have not resumed
their attempt at peace negotiations; but they
aro.nbw convinced that the end of the war
Is a long way off.
The one positive Indication that peace Is
Impossible at present Is the wide difference
of opinion between each of the opposing
sides regarding he situation In the ranks
of the other. In the last seVeral days I
have been In Copenhagen, Berlin, The
Hague and Rotterdam. The first Impression
obtained by a traveler Is the wide chasm
between the contending parties.
Copenhagen, which. Is tremendously anti
German, believes that Germany Is about to
fall to pieces. There are reports of unrest,
starvation, depression' and lack of soldiers
In .Germany. The 'people of Copenhagen and
also . residents, of The Hague believe the
Allied offensive on the Homme, In "Russia
and Gallcla and Hungary Is having great
success. ' They can't understand why the
much-talked-of "revolution" In Germany
doesn't begin. No one pays any attention
to the German victories In Rumania.
In Berlin there Is some depression, some
pessimism, but the faith In the ability In
the army 'to 'hold out has not been shaken.
Every one In Germany keeps, maps of the
battle fronts 'and watches the progress of
the fighting closely. The people have amai
lug, faith In yon Hlndeoburg, Interest cen
ters n Mackensen's offensive In Rumania,
The Berlin newspapers emphasize the
shortage of British, tonnage. They declare
food pr ccs have advanced as much In Ing
tead.fs In Berlin, France, Berllners believe,
hiijwhaU(ed her reserves, and her army
la weakening dally moro than any other
ariny
The streets of Berlin, Frankfort, Bremen
and all targe berman Hla are full of 44
dlers all the -tla, refuting the oft-repeated
statement that Germany has, exhausted her
reserves.
"The Allies are le4ng 50 men a day on
the weatetfl irot," was Xe way' one Ger-lf

WASHINGTON Oct"
Count von' Bernstorff, -the. aermiri. Am

port that Germany waa transmitting a

In making his denial official the Ambas
sador clearly Indicated that he knew where
the report originated and why It was being
circulated. German Embassy official say
that British sources have Inspired the Idea,

peace proposals In order to encourage th
men fighting In the trendies.
They say It Is one of the tricks of th
game and at the same time often con
veniently serves certain financial and other
Interests. In, this case the news that fh
so-called "German peace, move" was to. be
launched, appears to have reached Count
