"and while wo know that wo most take four straight to win the series still I thin!; it can be done. We met the Bostons at the top of their form, while we certainly are not going at our best gait. Once under way, the Athletics will show their class." The tall Indian was ready for the pitching mound and the veteran Plank said he was In shape to take up the hurling burden. The day was suited to the Indian's service. It was a day of shadows from passing clouds. Ben der's speed Is most effective on dark j days. There was a sharp wind from I the east and the spectators shivered i at times in the stands. Boston made it another holiday to- j day. Thousands took the day off and 1 thronged to Fenway Park hours be- | r e the gates were opened.

TRIES TO DRAG INTO PARTISAN CAMPAIGNI In letter to preachers McCormick seeks their secret support and asks that pulpits 1 be turned into Democratic rostrums; dishonorable scheme deeply resented by church people in all parts of Pennsylvania. ♦ ■ VANCE C. McCORMICK NAWttllUftO. September 30, 1914. Dear 3ir:- I have given very careful thought to the propriety of addressing this letter to you as a minister of the gospel. My on training naturally leads me to shrink from any step thai would seem like trying to commit the pulpit to partisan politics, bo I ask you to be assured that this letter is not & request that you should publicly support the ticket upon which I nave the honor to be a candidate. The very fact that I have been called to this grare responsibility at this present time constrains me to leave - no method untried for the. quickening of the interest of all the citizens in the affairs of our state. A political campaign is a period of education, and it should leave the whole body of voters in a more advanced position as respects patriotism and concerns the public welfare than they were before. This is my apology, if one be needed, for claiming ycur speoial co operation at this time in the irr«at task of promoting our fundamental ideals t»t American self-Government. The pulpit is outside of partisanship; but it is one of the very mainstays of patriotism. Especially at a time like the present, when a moral issue bulks biggest in a campaign, the leaders of thought who stand in the Christian pulpits of the State seem to have a--grave duty to perform. For the ,temperance question is vitally at stake at the present time; and, as you know, the liquor interests are devoting almost unlimited money and all the resources of a carefully perfected organization to the defeat of Mr. Palmer and myself because of our lifelong support of the temperance' cause. My ore definite suggestion--if I may be so bold as to offer it to on®, who is a trained leader in all that makes for righteousness-- is that you give thoughtful consideration to the propriety of preaching at least one sermon prior to the election upon the. importance of Christian citizens going to the polls, at whatever cost of inconveniencef and upon their duty to be active agents for good government in seeking to lead neighbors to vote according* to their enlightened consciences. The sanctity of the ballot .and the shame of casting it merely at the beh9st of some political "worker," or to support a party, seem to me to come appropriately within the scope of what a minister of the gospel may with seemliness say upon the theme of good citizenship. If you desire any facts upon the present issue, this office will gladly supply them to you. With assurance of personal consideration, I remain Sincerely yours, P. S.«— May I suggest that passages from ycu?. sermorl duties of good citizenship would doubtless gladly be published by your local newspaper if you would supply the copy. X, too, should appreciate being favored with a bHef summary of the views upon the approaching electioff- which you may present to your congregation. THE foregoing letter has been mailed to the preachers of Pennsylvania by the Democratic Machine candidate for Governor in the hope of I further dragging the religious bodies into the support of a partisan campaign. This maladroit scheme is certain to prove a boomerang for the individual responsible for it. His as sumption of superior virtue and righteousness is returning to plague him and instead of the preaches turning their pulpits on the Sunday before election into political rostrums rot- his benefit, they are quite likely to do the other thing inasmuch as thousands of their parishiohers are already being heard from in the matter of tile un fair attitude of the bosses of the Anti-Saloon League who have broken faith with thousands of supporters of the local option proposition in Pennsylvania by declaring for McCormick. Efforts to have certain denomina tional conferences and other ofliciai bodies endorse the Democratic candidate for Governor have already failed and even those that were deceived into passing an indirect endorsement have already realized the gravity of their error and instead of proving a benefit the Democratic machine is likely to feel the weight of widespread resentment throughout Pennsylvania.

Lieutenant Colonel Maritz, a Doer officer together with a number of liis officers and men has gone over to the German forces of the Ger man protectorate and is in rebellion against the government of Union. I lie proclamation of martial law declares there is reason to be lieve that government of German Southwest Africa is endeavoring to corrupt other citizens of the Union with promise of the establish ment of a republic in South Africa.

The Germans are continuing their endeavor to persuade the civil population of Antwerp to return to their homes otherwise, there is little news of the actual situation at this Belgian port, now in the hands of the Germans. NO PARTICULAR ACTIVITY IN EAST 1 he eastern arena of the war has recorded no particular activity other than continued preparations for a decisive combat in Russian Poland along a battle front which probably will extend from Kalisz to Lodz, to Piotrokow to Kielce and to Busk, in Galacia. Germany claims to hold all the western part of Russian Poland with the ex ception of Warsaw and it is becoming clear that the German military operations in the eastern theater are being concentrated in Poland. Vienna declares that the entire Russian force investing Przeniysl has been withdrawn. Russia makes no reference to-day to the situ ation at Przemysl, but it is reported that Russian forces are con tinuing to advance in East Prussia and that the soldiers of Emperor Nicholas hold the entire district of Lyck. The Kaiser Wilhelm canal, according to an Amsterdam report; has been closed to ordinary traffic for the duration of the war. Prince George, of Servia, brother of the Crown Prince, is reported to have been mortally wounded: Prince Olega, son of Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, has died of wounds received in battle. There has been a brief armistice at Kiao Chow, China, to bury the dead.

The Treasury Department, he said, had had 358 offices added to its list, while in the field service 675 additional offices had been created.
