RUSSIANS ARE:
OUTGENERALED
German Campaign In Poland
Conducted With SUIL
Czar's Officers Completely De
celved by the Kaiser's.
R"IES OF 63EIT STRENGTH
Land Across the Polish Fron
tier Without Molestation.
Muscovite Optimism Has Led
to Serious Consequences.
IBy J. W.-T. Mason.
New York. Oct. 14. The German cam
paign in Poland which is now beginning
to develop its offensive strength has
been conducted in its early stages with
great skill. It now seems evident that
the advance on Warsaw was skilfully
masked by the recent operations 100 to
150 miles further north in the Nsimen
river district. The Russians, apparent
ly, mistook the German advance toward
the Nelmen as the enemy's main ob
jective. Even the ability of the second and
third class Russian fortresses in North
ern Poland to withstand German at
tacks while the powerful French and
Belgian fortifications were falling, did
not open the eyes of the Russian gen
eral staff. The fact is now seen to be
that the successful resistance of these
Polish forts was due to the meager
German forces sent against them. While
the Russians were hurrying overwhelm
ing armies across the Neimen and were
triumphantly forcing the Germans to
retire toward East Prussia, the real
German offensive was developing
against Warsaw.
The Germans appear to have succeed
ed in landing armies of great strength
without molestation across the frontier
from the Vistula, on which river the en
trenched camp of Warsaw is located.
What part of the attention of the Rus
sian general staff was not centered on
the successful Nlemen operations, was
occupied with the advance through Ga
licia. Berlin Entrance Postponed.
The Russians were moving forward
in the north and south with extreme
optimism, as their official reports
showed; they were to be in Berlin by
Christmas; the Germans from East
Prussia and the Austrians in Galicia
were unable to stand against them.
Then suddenly between the victorious
northern and southern Russian arm
ies, the German general staff launch
ed its counter-offensive and the Rus
sians have now realized the danger'
Into which their optimism has
led them. They have had to withdraw
their advance forces marching on
Cracow and the other operations in
East Prussia that became of minor
importance. A new battle front, run
ning south from the Warsaw district,
is being forced upon them, presum
ably of Germany's own choosing. The

SURVEY OF THE SOIL
Pamphlet of ' Interest to Shawnee
Fanners Is Oat.
A soil survey of Shawnee county
made by the Kansas State Agricultural
college in co-operation with the United
States department of agriculture has
been published and there are a limited
number of reports and ' maps of the
county now ready for distribution
among the farmers of the county and
other interested parties.
These reports will be sent free upon
request to the director of the Kansas
experiment station, Manhattan, Kan.
The map shows where every quarter
section of land in the county lies and
the soil types it contains.
The reports mention the kinds of
crops now generally grown on each
kind of soil, point out the needs of
each type, both as regards fertility
and methods of handling, and suggest
the crops that are most likely to suc
ceed on the different soil types. In
fact the report will be found interest
ing and full of information of a prac
tical and helpful character to all farm
ers operating in Shawnee county.
It is doubtful if the Kansas State
Agricultural college has ever engaged
in a project more fundamental to the
development of a permanent agricul
ture in Kansas or that will result In
more immediate and lasting benefit
to the farmers than .a complete and
detailed soil survey. Not only is the
soil survey of direct value to the man
on the farm, but it is valuable to the
farmer .in .another way, in that It
furnishes reliable and fundamental
information for agricultural college
men and agricultural writers who are
called upon to advise with farmers as
to the best methods of operating their
soils.
It Is to be regretted that through
lack of appropriations the soil sur
vey work was not continued during
the past two years, except In two
counties where the United States de
partment of agriculture maintained
small parties during the summers of
1913 and 1914. Unless state aid can
be obtained through the coming leg
islature, however, it 'will not be pos
sible to continue the work even In a
small way, as government operations
in this state will be withdrawn and
carried to other states unless aug
mented with state appropriations.
CIIRISTADEL IS HERE.
Miss Pankburst lands at New York
Unannounced.
New York. Oct 14. Christabel
Pankhurst, militant suffragette leader
of England, came unannounced to New
York today aboard the Red Star
steamer Finland. Miss Pankhurst
made the voyage under the. name of
Elizabeth McDonald and did not an
nounce her identity until the Finland
was within sight of shore.
"I did not come to America to ad
vocate militant methods," were almost
her first words, as she stepped down
ine gang plank into the midst- of a
dozen reporters. "Militant methods
are not needed in America. The men
of the United States are more liberal
than the men of England. This is
demonstrated by the fact that a num-.
ber of your states have already grant
ed woman suffrage.
"In England our cause has given
way to the cause of war and we wo
men of England are all loyal to our
flag. The women's fight for votes in
England has been laid aside tempor
arily. "1 believe' however, that England
would have been better equipped for
war if her women had been given the
vote. It had been generally expected
for years that the war would come.
The women, who are the greatest suf
ferers, should have had a voice in the
preparations to meet it."
Miss Pankhurst said she expected to
remain in the United States for a few
months. She was especially desirous
of visiting the far west and would
make a trip to the Pacific coast if
possible. Any how she said, she ex
pected to go t'o Chicago and to Baaian.
While in New York, she will be the
guest of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, the
suffrage leader.

Stalling' Victory Was Aided
by Horseshoes.
Athletics Spilled Championship
by Being Too Cautious.
UXE D XLD-TI"E SH3.7
Pinal Result of Series Seemed
J ; Foregone Conclusion. ;
Even and Oowdy Are the
Braves' Big Heroes.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 14. When the
Boston Braves won the championship
of the baseball world, it was like
watching an old. old. play, with fa
miliarity . precluding the possibility of
surprise, and with' no prospect of va
riety save in the manner in which the
actors handled their respective roles.
The result always seemed a fore
gone conclusion. The score of S to 1
would Indicate a close game but it
did not seem close. It did not feel
close. It was as if every act but led
up to a well remembered climax and
when that climax finally came, the
thrills therein were only perfunctory.
The plot seemed too old.
The mad, demonstration of the
Boston baseball fanatics about the
bench of the triumphant Braves at
the finish; the parade of the Royal
Rooters with the band shrilling "Tes
sie" and "Sweet Adeline;" the cheers
and the speeches and all the rest of
the moll and turmoil, and finally the
silent, somber file of the defeated
Philadelphia Athletics picking their
way through the crush, somehow
seemed anticipated; they somehow
seemed but carefully rehearsed scenes
in an ancient show.
Geatest Baseball Feat.
It was rather a curious culimination
of the greatest ' feat in the history of
baseball. The Boston Braves have won
the ' championship in four straight
games. No other club has done that
since the world's series was inaugur
ated between rival National and Ameri
can leagues. - Once the Tigers of Detroit
failed to win a game from, the Chicago
Cubs, but one game was tied and the.
series -had to go to five games.
As the Athletics' batting end of the
ninth came on, the former world's
champions could be seen slipping on
their blue mackinaws and gathering up
their gloves and other paraphernalia on
the bench. Then the most of them
stood up in an expectant line, watch
ing Eddie Collins at bat. They were
ready for a hasty departure from the
field. Their attitude told plainly that
they had quit.
In the old days of triumph they
used to march up to the plate- in a
line, swinging their bats menacingly,
whether the club was in front or be
hind. Connie Mack.
A sombre figure in ministerial black
remained seated on the bench. The
ignominy of the worst defeat ever ad
ministered to a championship club sat
heavily upon the shoulders of Connie
Mack, but he did not quit, He was
the last to leave the bench and as he
stalked across the field in (he wake of
his beaten flock he still had a dry lit
tle smile left for expressions of sym
pathy. :
When Evers tossed out Baker on an
easy roller for the second out in the
final inning, the exuberance of the
Braves manifested itself. Charley
Schmidt playfully threw the bail at
Moran out in right field and Moran
let the ball go through him to the
farthest corner of his district. In
stantly, a dozen fans, hanging poised
for the dash to the exits, leaped out
on the field and fell on the ball In a
scrambling heap. "
A policeman rushed up and joined
the struggle and the Braves laughed
loudly when the officer finally rescued
the ball and returned it to Moran. The
Athletics loked on dumbly. They had
little interest In horse-play. They
reminded one of a heavy loser in a
poker game, with all the winners
ready to quit and no chance for the
losers to get even.
"Lank Hank" Gowdy, hitting hero
of the series, came in with his cap off
and he was belabored about the head
with newspapers in the hands of fans
hanging over the railing of the grand
stand back of the home team bench
until he was glad to hide. George Stal
llngs disappeared early and hurried to
his hotel to avoid a demonstration. It
has been said that the swarthy chief
of the Braves is planning a small dem
onstration of his own. It has been
said that he has vowed if he won this
series he-would hunt up Ban Johnson,
president of the American league, in
the most, public place and tell him a
few things that have been resting
heavy upon the Stalllngs memory for
some years.- -It-Is a matter dating back
to Stalllngs' days as manager of the
Detroit Tigers and his enmity toward
the fat president . of the American
league has never cooled dui in mis
hour of triumph it Is doubtless true
that sober second thought will deter
Stalllngs from carrying out his plan.
The Athletics played Tuesday after
noon Just as they played throughout
the series with the exception of Mon
day. They had little spirit. They
have acted all along as If they were
carrying the championship in a gallon
bucket and were afraid of spilling it.
Only on one or two occasions did they
display the fighting heart expected of
champions.
On the other hand the Braves were
even cockier and more confident and
more Impertinent Tuesday than they
had been at any time before, rae iuck
that has clunr to them throughout the
championship struggle was also with
tnem. - Base Dan win oe telling tnrougn
the years to come that this is the luck
iest club m the history of the game,
even granting them the highest pos
sible credit for ability.
Nothing goes wrong for the Braves
but then nothing ever goes wrong
for the winner in baseball and the
Stalllngs youngsters must today be
given full credit for what they are
the gam est crowd In baseball. '
It was Johny Evers who broke up
the game on the Athletics in the fifth
Inning Tuesday and there was even
then more or less of what baseball
people call luck, although to the av
erage observer it seemed more an
other manifestation of the 'spirit of
the Braves, especially the spirit of the
captain of the Braves who was game
enough to come .right back after it
seemed certain he bad lost the game
and help In the final victory. Maran
vtUe, ; now pronounced- the greatest
short fielder the . game has ever
known, was an easy Infield out at the
opening of the Braves' , end of the
fifth. Deal was also quickly retired.
but then Dick Rudolph, who is an un
usually good bitter-far pitcher, sin-
gled to center, ftp to that time Bob
S hawkey, one of - Mack's young right
banders, had been pitching along
very steadily but Herb Moran followed
Rudolph with a hit that went for two
.bases.
Rube Oldring made a flying lunge at
Moran'a blow and Rudolph raced around
to third as the big outfielder missed
his leap. Shawkey pitched with great
care to Evers and finally had the count
3 balls and 2 strikes on the lantern
Jawed captain of the Braves. Then
Johnny smacked a single across second
and Rudolph and Moran tallied with
one more run . than was necessary to
win the game. A moment later Shawkey
made a quick throw to Mclnnia and
caught Evers flat-footed off first for
the third out".
: To win a championship of the world
with two down and the count 3 and z
on a batting rally is regarded as luck In
the game of baseball.
The fact that the series went only
four games is a terrific, blow to the
management of both clubs as the play
ers get the greater part of the re
ceipts. Had the umpires called the
game Monday in the eleventh inning
on account of darkness, as they might
have done without arousing criticism.
It would have meant something like
$60,000 more to the management
With one out in the fourth Baker
got a hit on a hopper to Schmidt that
the butcher could not handle and in
the play Schmidt got the breath
knocked out of him so that the game
had to stop until he recovered himself.
"Stuffy" Mclnnis singled to left and
Baker tore around' to third. Mclnnis
tried to move up to second but a fast
relay by Connolly to Deal and then
from Deal to Evers put the ball on
Mclnnis In spite of a great head first
slide and Walsh ended the inning by
striking out
That was about as good a chance
as the Athletics had at any stage of
the game. They got their one run
in the fifth when Barry hit safely
over Deal's head, taking second on
Schang's infield out Evers to Schmidt
Shawkey, after hitting at as poor a
ball as ever was thrown to a batter,
doubled to center, ' scoring "Black
Jack." Shawkey. reached third on
Murphy's out but Oldring fanned.
Oldring got his first hit of the series
and also got to first - for the second
time. He was out trying t o steal sec
ond. i
In the" fourth inning. Evers drew- a
walk from Shawkey and took second
when Collins threw out Connolly. Col
lins then fumbled Whitted's bounder
over near first and Evers took third.
Schmidt hit a short roller past the
box, Barry getting the ball and tossing
out Schmidt while Evers scored and the
band played, "When - Johnny Comes
Marching Home."- There was no chance
for Barry to make a play at the plate.
Shawkey tossed out Gowdy and closed i
the inning. I
Young Pennock 'took Shawkey's place in
the sixth as the Braves went to bat and .
Stalllngs promptly removed Connolly and
put Mann, a right handed hitter, in the
left field. He did not remove Moran and
substitute Cather. as , usual, however,
Mann hit for Connolly and was out on a
fly to Walsh and Whitted then got a !
lurlA dnwn tlm tm-r-rt tiHu. line that was
fair by about an inch. Schmidt hit
grounder that squirted up off Collins' shoe
for a hit and Whitted took third. "Lank
Hank" Gowdy was called out on strikes
and he viewed Byron with the solemn
glare of a slugger betrayed. "Hank
Lank" has grown mighty confident of I
himself up there at bat the past week or
8A double; steal was started by Schmidt !
and Whitted but Collins intercepted the
throw from Schang in behind the pitcher's
box and the heavy footed Schmidt was
run down , between) first and second oe-j
fore Whitted could score.

Boston Pitcher Says Athletics
Were Easy to Beat.
J3y George Stalllngs.
Boston, Oct . 14. I won't say any
thing now except that the result does i
not i surprise me. I knew my boys
could and would deliver. In my ex
perience as a baseball manager I have
never seen a team like the present
Braves team. .... They are wonders and
the baseball public will hear more of
them next year.
The Braves are where they right
fully belong at the top of the base
ball heap. And,: unless 1 miss my
guess, they will stay there for some
time to come.
IBy Dick Rudolph.
Boston, Oct 14. The Athletics were
the easiest team to beat that 1 have
faced all year, or in any of the other
seven years of my pitching experi
ence. I had heard so much about
their slugging powers. And I found
that they couldn't live up to their
reputation. I would rather" pitch
against the Athletics - all year long
than the worst teams in the National
or American leagues and I know that
my average would show far better.
They swung at " anything I gave
tnem, wnetner it was low, bigri or
wide. They showed no batting Judg
ment and they were a cinch. I was
nervous during the first three Innings
of the first game I pitched against
them, but after I had pitched to the
entire team once I figured I had their

Washington, Oct 14. An implied

Colorado of the treatment given the
republic of Panama by the United

Germany in the present war brought
on his head the charge of-treason from
Senator Bristow of Kansas, in the sen

"I should Uke to state that If $25.
000,000 Is ultimately paid, it will be
paid to a lot of blackmailers who are
undertaking to blackmail the United

Senator Thomas retorted: "In all

consequences of the vesx, it .will be
denounced by 'the German reichstag

not be of any use to us In doing what
it is proper for ns to do, under the

"An ill-considered move on our side

Republicans Continue Attack on the
' - War Revenue Bill.
Washington. Oct 14. Proposed
taxation of - proprietary medicines in
the war revenue bill was ordered
stricken out today by the Democrats
of the senate finance committee. - Re
ports had come of general opposition
throughout the country and Majority
Leader Underwood and othr mem
bers of the house ways and raans
committee had given notice that the
house would not agree to tax "the
poor man's medicine." The commit
tee, however, did not eliminate the
proposed tax on perfumes, cosmetics
and chewing gum which had . been
added to the house bill.
- The committee also accepted an
amendment which would eliminate
bills of lading In the shipment of
newspapers and provide that all bun
dles included in a -general package on
a single train or other conveyance, be
regarded as one shipment In lieu of
bills of lading. The amendment
would require publishers to issue on
the fifteenth of each month a sworn
statement of the number of such ship
ments in the preceding month and at
tach to these statements stamps to
the value of one cent for each ship
ment Shipments made within the
county of . publication would not be
exempt
- The Republican attack on the war
revenue bill was - continued in - the
senate today by Senator Penrose. He
declared that the measure was "war
legislation in time of peace." and said
the necessity for - additional revenue
arose from the total failure of the
Democrat fiscal policy of tariff for
revenue only. Senator Lewis of Illi
nois made a vigorous reply to Senator
Penrose. The Underwood tariff. Sen
ator Lewis said, was not framed to
meet the present emergency and it
could not be called a failure any more
than the Dingley bill could have been
termed a failure because It did not
provide the necessary $700,000,000 to
conduct the Spanish war. The sena
tor also called attention to the fact'
that a Republican congress levied an
income tax in June, 1870, o make np
for deficiency caused by the Franco

tunity to hear the boys before then, prob-

"The practice Monday night for the
'Messiah' was -very - satisfactory," contin
ued Dean Whitehouse. "The number of
those ready to take part is already close
to the two hundred mark. If the number
of satisfactory voices can be secured the
chorus will be enlarged. People all over
the city are showing an unusual interest
in the project, and I fed sure that the

in a musical way."
