iMarshal Foch's Broom Sweeping Enemy Back on Wider

.2 for German Armies. j
mm
In PARIS, Oct. 12. Today finds Ger-
RH ' SJnany a litUo nearer the brink of dis-
WM Caster. Marshal Foch's broom applied
I. jn the Champagno. has swept the
Cenemy back from a wider section of
Sttho front than over before.
Tt General Ludendorff is reaping tho
results of tho cardinal error ho made
-in thinking thai the allied offensives
tJ-'ero bound to bo spaced at wide in
- torvals, like his own. The continuity of
tho attacks has literally dumbfounded
"-tho Germans and it is plain that there
vacillation at grand German head
quarters. J?- The evacuation of tho Belgian coast
.appears to have been ordered and then
(Jftl countermanded which justifies the ln-
Rnifl m Terence that General Ludendorff is no
I mm ' vlonger guided by purely military con-
I 'Hi ".slderations either from tho demoraliz-
11 . Ing effect rotreat on a large scalo
ifM ; would havo on tho interior, or with tho
iw -idea that tho more territory that re-
'H inains in his hands the stronger will be
'H Germany's position in its conversa-
jifl -lions with Washington.
HI $? General Ludendorff is letting Prus-
1X1 asia's time to escape to slip by for
ftf v.'hich It is likely ho will repent

celebrated book on "the conduct of
war," says "Nogi's army at Mukden j
sought not so much to crush. the Rus-1
slan right by a flank attack as to get
on his rear and thus determine the re
treat of all tho enemy's forces."
Tho allied commander-in-chief
seems to be applying that principle in
France. The Gorman front forms a
vast salient from tho Escaut to the
Meuso, the extreme point of It being
at Anizy. Marshal Foch Is attacking it
not alono on one flank but on both al-
tcrnately, whilo ho is pressing the:
center in the section between La Fero
and Berry-au-Bac to prevent the
enemy's breaking contact and slipping
away.
At the beginning of tho week It was i
the turn of the left of tho allied forces.
which struck in the direction of Mau-j
beugc and Guise. Yesterday it was tho
right that delivered tho blow, aiming
it in tho direction of Mczieres. Wheth
er both wings broko through, or only
one Is immaterial. The result would bo J

111 LEAGUE 10 FISH UP ITS
1 I BUSIES AT MEETING H DECEMBER
' Sf NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The good old
D ' "National league will officially go into
I retirement for the duration of the war
j ' -tit Its meeting here December 10.
I I Basoball, in so far as the mother
I,; league is concerned, will be buried
If' 2untll the piping times of peace return
Ijj'K1 "Ao this troubled globe of ours, and the
I' t business affairs of the league will be
I ' jh .wound up.
I V .This Is the intention of the mag- j
' jiates at the present writing, and un
H j' 'Jess tho German allies are dissolved
II I land peace arrives in advance of the !
Ml t meeting, which is doubtful, the pro- j
I j If fgrammo will be followed to tho letter.
' j Though neither big league will j
I vj make definite plans to operate next i
H j i fj'ear unless peace comes before the j
jj iflrst of January, there is little doubt I
H ?lhat some plans will be laid for start-1
Hi 'J, -jng the game anew. What these plans
HI j will be can only be guessed at, and '
Hi f -tiiere are some club owners who feel
Hj' 4hat it would be useless to attempt to j
H'. ;put baseball back oil the map next
H' j ts'eason should the signing of peace
H' ' .terms come any later than the first of
j ' i .-March.
Hi j V It Is pointed out that the players of
Hr the various teams will be scattered
1 Jfar and wide long before the first day
H' j i 'of January arrives. Some of the ball
Hi ; j .parks will have been adapted for other
Hi i" .uses than baseball and the problems,
H t i imany of them unguessed now, that will
H'n . fcorae when the time arrives for a
H' J -readjustment of the game, would bo
H jj obstacles that could not be surmounted
H 3 3n anything like a hurry. The magnates
H. 'feel that when the time comes to bring
H , S b'aseball back they will do well to
HL! 5 !mako haste slowly in rebuilding and
H v ' ;r.eopening the pastime.
H 1 ' Baseball has certainly suffered a
H ij ; lerrific blow, and iLwill naturally take
H j he game a long lime to recover. The
H 1 1 baseball business is a big and com-
H I plicated business, with much money
H i 'invested, heavy losses to be recouped
i and changes in both the business and
I .political ends of the game to bo con-
f k idcrcd.
H ' i Generally speaking, the national
' ' Uastimo is in a bad way, but it will
H; live on and is bound to thrive once
Hi jj 'again. The conservative baseball men
H'..: tire confident that the game will come
H jack better than over after much-
H' ' ' needed changes aro made.
Lm'' i ; The magnates are not expected to
H, go on record as favoring any set plan
H r , for bringing tho game back. They
H 'dp not want to tie their own hands
H in such a manner, and "because of this
H there will probably be little food for
mmm' j ' Iho fans forthcoming from the Decern -
14 t ber meeting of the National league
j here. What may como out of tho
' ' American league meeting Is uncertain
j also.
I I'Thc magnates probably have a lifo-
sized, hunch that tho less safd about
il ( , b'aseball for a while the better off
fhe gamo will be. Tho big rumpus up
! (n Boston .during the world's series
1 favethe old game a hard and resound-
'( Ing kick in tho slats Just as it was
about to make a graceful exit from tho
' Iport stage, and tho best thing to do Is
I to let the public forget.

throughout the country, and has wrlt-
ten letters to the managers of the
different college football teams urg
ing them to co-ojiqrate in this most
Important collection of "material. Do
nations can bo sent by express, pre-
paid, to W. H. Edwards at the Cus
tom House. New York City.
If this sort of an appeal .strikes the I
'hearts of different' men throughout the
country who have no football uni
forms to give, checks will be appre
ciated. In a letter addressed to many of the
old-time football stars who form a
committee, Edwards has included the
following statement:
''Dhere is much of the football spirit
In this var. You men know what
team work' in football means. The
men 'over there' aro finding that the
football spirit they learned at college
is helping them very much in this war.
If wo here at home can help our boys
'over there' by contributing jerseys,
sweaters, belts, football trousers and
shoes we will be doing our bit" & j

mittee are Walter Camp. Percy

WILSON AIDING
LOANCAMPAISN
Autographs a Hundred $1,000
Bonds and Himself Sub
scribes for $2,000 More.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. President
Wilson who came to New York to take
part in the celebration here of Columbus-Liberty
day tomorrow played an
Important part tonight In an Improm
ptu Liberty loan rally at the theater
where ho witnessed a popular musical
comady.
At the end of the performance an
appeal was made for subscriptions and
no one in the house seemed more in
terested 'in the response than did Mr.
Wilson.
After more than $125,000 had been
pledged B. Bertram Piko of Pike, N.
H., announced that ho would buy
$100,000 worth of bonds for cash if 100
other persons would buy 1000 worth
each, with the understanding that the
bonds were to be autographed by the
president, Mr. Wilson readily assented
to the proposal and the sale began
with a rush. Actresses and chorus girls
volunteered tp take the bonds to the
president's box and for nearly an hour
he was kept busy autographing thera.
Mr. Wilson himself subscribed for
$2000 worth but not for cash. James
W. Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many took $15,000 worth and then
George Conroy of Pueblo, Colo., a
youthful marine who lost part of his
right hand at Chateau Thierry an
nounced that he would pay cash for
three $50 bonds. This offer was greet
ed with tremondous applause and the
president Invited the marine to his
box and congratulated him besides
autographing the bonds. Eoth Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson shook hangs with Conroy.
The total sales for cash aggregated
more than $750,000,
President Wilson was given a voci
ferous welcome, when he was recog
nized upon his arrival and again at the
end of the first act. Ho bowed his ac
knowledgements but merely smiled at
the calls for a speech.
Ropqrts from London that Austria
Hungary and Turkey wero willing to
accept tho president's p"caco program
were communicated to Mr. Wilson by
the Associated Press through Secre
tary Tumulty but no commont was
made.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
CHAMPAGNE, Oct. 11. (By the As

joined in the pursuit of the Germans
by General Gouraud's army today be
ing the first to enter Laneuville. The
advance on the eastern part of the
battle front was much accelerated the
aSBMa ggaaiiii .i itt
French and American troops at some
points gaining about seven miles. The
Americans, notwithstanding a heavy
bombardment of the region with mus
tard gas shells took Machault.
General Gouraud's troops advanced
to the river Retourne over most of its
length and took Savigny-sur-AJsno,
only two and a half miles south of
Vouzieres, which is in flames. Guise
and all of the villages south of Laon
are in flames.
