Boston. Mass.. <~»et. 13.—"The world's
championship with four straight
frames." was the cry of the triumphant
Boston Bra vs. champions of the Na
tional Eeagne. as they swung their
battle formations against the Athletics
to-day in the fourth game of the
world's series.
"We will win to-day pnd end the
series." said Manager (ieorpre Stiillings
as he took hi;, seat on the Boston
bench. "Rudolph is primed to >•;. ry
us to final victory. I said we had th>-
best team in baseball and we have
proved it."
"Wo are ready 1o male the light."
paidf £?hortstop .luck Berry, of the Ath
letics. "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. Nearly
t-r.v seat in the reserved stand was |
filled at noon and hundreds stood up |
against the fences.
Batting and fielding practice kept I
the crowd on the keen edge of en- ]
thi'slasm for two hours before the,
game.

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.

Allies Reported to Be
Making Progress Along
Entire Line of Battle
Martial Law Declared in Union of South Africa After Dis
covery of Rebellious Outbreak; Belgian Seat of Gov
ernment Moved Into France; Bombs Dropped on
Ostend; Ghent Occupied by German Forces
Martial law has been declared throughout the Union of South
Africa as a result of the discovery of a rebellion in the northern part
of the C ape province which adjoins German Southwest Africa.
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.
I he official statement issued in Paris this afternoon declares
that the allies are making progress along nearly the entire line of
battle. i
It has bemi decided to remove the Belgian government to
France. King Albert, however, will remain with his troops it) the
field. Some of the officials of the Belgian government and the mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps accredited to Belgium already have left
Ostend for Havre.
1 he tiermans are reported to have occupied Ghent and yester
day a (icrman aviator dropped bombs on Ostend.
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 government of this German territory is endeavoring
to arrange for the departure of all noncombatants remaining- in
Tsing Tau.
The American hospital ship Red Cross which conveyed to Eng
land and the continent Red Cross units to succor the wounded of all
armies engaged in the war. has fulfilled her mission and is now on
her way back to New ork. (other War News Pages 2 ami li)

age of Another Big; Revenue BUI;
Tells of $10,000,00(1 Grab
Washington. D. <*.. Oct. 13.—The
revenue debate was continued in the
.Senate yesterday. Senator Smoot, of
Utah, made a speech arraigning the
Democrats for extra vaganeo in in
creasing appropriations and creating l
new and useless offices.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, followed in
a sensational speech in which he pre
dicted that another revenue bill would
have to be passed in a short time im
posing additional taxes. He charged
that there was an agreement already I
among leaders to pass a river and har
bor bill carrying $10,000,000 at the
short session of Congress.
lie read from the Democratic na
tional platform the plank which de
nounced "useless offices." which are "a
drain upon the substance of the peo
ple," and then proceeded to try to
demonstrate that more offices were
created and more salaries provided in
the last eighteen months than in any
three years before.
Sir. Bprah produced figures to show
that nc offices had been abolished.
The Treasury Department, he said,
had had 358 offices added to its list,
while in the field service 675 additional
offices had been created. The added
expenditures annually on account of
the nfw offices he estimated at
$1,750,000.
Taking the expense of running the
Interstate Commerce Commission as a
I for estimating, lie predicted that
ultimately the cost of the new Federal
Trad< Commission and Its regulation
of corporations would amount to
$1,000,000,000 annually. He showed
that the expenditures for running the
departments of the government last
year were $3,000 000 a week greater
than for the average of the last year
of the Republican administration.
