At the sametime, there have been of- ficial reports of the steady with- drawal of American, battalions .and brieades from the larger British ahd French units in which they were merged, and the creation of an all-| American army under Gen. Persh- ing’s direct command. It is evident that those myriads of American soldiers have completed their training and served the pur- posegfor which they were brigaded with Allied troops. They are ready to “go on their own.” Everything else is ready, too—guns, planes, am- munitién and the rest. o we shall have, very soon; what all Americans have ardently looled forward to—a big American army, prepared to wage war as the armies of Haig and Man-; gin have been waging it—an army the credit for ‘whose «achievements, will beleng solely to America. That army is believed to num- ber, already, no less.than half a/mil- lion men. That is.a formidable fighting force, even in ‘this war of millions. ¢ If ye ‘may judge from pre- vious performances of our troops, it will be the most powerful organiza-| tion of its size in existence. ah The question now is, how and} when will it be used? There are sur-} mises that it is being held by Gen. Foch as # mobile reserve, a battering .ram to hur! against the German line/ avherever and whenever the supreme command determines. If so, our army will have the most honorable and ad-} venturous task in this great allied of- fensive. To it may fall the good fo: tune to smash tru the Prussian de- fenses at the supreme moment, roll- ing up and routing the enemy as he has never yet been routed, and play- ing the most conspicuous role in the great drama of victory prepared by} all the battling of the last six: weeks. | ——_0. THE CZECHS ARE REAL ALLIES) The “Allies have learned one valu- able lesson from their enemies. As a result they are now fighting Ger- man propaganda with ha propazanda of their own. And that of the Al-| lies has the great advantage of truth- fulness. Among the best little propagand- ists working on ovr side now are the Czecho-Slovaks. ‘The Austrian army is known to be permeated with Czech influence. By means of a sort of underground railroad the Cze SlovA4ks who have recently made the escape to the Allied armies are get- ting their message Across to. their friends in the Austrian army. They | are dropping it from balloons and airplanes, too. This propaganda, | based on fact instead of lies, is | fs | spreading thru the Austrian forces. However. they do the work, it is; pound to be effective for it goes from those who have escaped Aus-| trian rule to those who are still suf- ferine under the yoke. The Czecho- tdeserting him. h voungster, a fair hitter and only a) it will eventually include three main | | fleets, each to consist of eight dread- * series| the country ever will witness under pxesent regulations probably will be laid away to the credit of the National league. And, if such is the case, it Will be the first time in his- tory a Boston entrant in this annual fall classic of baseball ever was de- feated for the world’s championship. Tessie @hd the Boston good luck pin seem doomed to defeat by the Chicago Cubs. Comparisons of the two clubs leave only a slight margin of advantage, bunt the offensive power of the Cubs overlaps the defense of the Red Sox to such an extent that on paper they are the natural victors. Of course A serieS Such &8 the world’s series always turns out to be is little enough on which to base final com- parisons of thé teams, but the con- sistency with which the Cubs have hammered their way to the top, the inside baseball Fred Mitchell makes his men play, the cleverness of the Cubs’ pitching staff and the persist- ently good attack of the club makes it a knitted organization that sticks out over the Red Sox. Each of the clubs has had good for- tune thruout the season. Practically rhe entire lineup with which each started is intact. The loss ‘of Grover Cleveland Alexander, which was ex- pected to knock the pennant hopes of the Cubs into a cocked hat, proved to be only a slight difficulty. And aside from that the loss to the Cubs on the season has been small. The Red Sox suffered a severe blow when Dutch Lenoard ari Ernie Shore vere derricked from the club, but Ed.) Baupw fotind in Sam Jones and Joe! Bush two pitchers fully capable of taking their places. So good has! been this due of pitchers that Babe Ruth hasn’t done his usual share of tHe season’s pitching, but, instead, has been used in the outfield where his batting could count more. Comparing the infields of the two clubs gives a wide margin to the Cubs. Fred Merkle stands out over Stuffy McInnis for the first time in the careers of the two players. Mc- Innis undoubtedly is going back vhile new life seems to haye been jected into the veteran Merkle. He hitting and fielding better than he ever did before. McInnis’ hitting has dropped woefully, but he is still the brilliant and heavy fielder of yore. The difference, however, isn’t great enough to place him in Merkle’s class for Merkle fields well enough to be ig the front rank and his hitting is the point of his greatest value. At second base there is nothing of much importance to compare. Neither team has an extraordinary workman in that spot. Dave Shean | js a fair fielder, but a weak hitter in| spite of his work with the Red Sox with his stick. Rollie Zeider once was one of the American league’s| greatest infjeldefs and he still is something of a star, but his speed is, Charley Pick is a fair fielder. At shortsop there is nothing to the} eomparison but the Cubs. Charley Hollecher is not only the season’s sensation, but he probably is the gzreatést shortstop to come to the big league in a decade. Altho he ‘s spending his first year in major league baseball, he is hitting well| over .300 and his fielding is nothing short of marvelous. | Everett Scott, the Sox shortstop, a fine fielder, but an atrociously weak hitter. Slovaks ‘have at last found the op- portunity to free themselves that they have been seeking for centuries. Working in a way for themselves they are doing a great service for the Allied cause. Their principles and ideals are the same as ours and form a strong bond of sympathy be- tween them and us. Both are fight- ing for freedom and enlightenment It will be for us to remember that our tardy recognition of their pur- pore has already as much good for us as for them. - 0 WORKING IN THE DARK (From the Wheatland Times.) ‘Tuesday morning the editor of The Times received an unsigned let- ter, mailed at Cheyenne, which was apparently written for the purpose of intimidation—to scare the editor out of _ continuing the campaign against Frank Houx. It won’t work. The writer of the letter lied besides proving himself a Coward in not dar- ing, to sign his name to his black- mailing communication. ~If-Howx has anything on the editor of The Times, let him trot it out in the daylight Don’t whisper it around in the dark and in anonymous letters. The threatening letters bears the ear- marks of having originated in the back room of some grog shop— written by a “blackhand” gang. It cares U8 about as much as the bark- ing of a yellow cur in a dark alley.

Why andéther?_. Whorshid the first had} subsided? {ohelt's champions. Jack Coffey, for the Sox, and | Charley Deal for the Cubs compare \well. Deal is the better hitter, but offey is far the better fielder and | baserunner. He is a veteran of good |minor leagues, with a wealth of ex- perience which makes him a most }yaluable man. He is a_ splendid | fielder and dangerous but not fre- | quent as a hitter. Deal is a good fielder and a hard ‘hitter. His blows, while not many, usually come at, opportune moments and-are of the long variety a great deal of the time. |. Th outfield gives a slight edge to |the Red Sox, with Strunk, Hooper jand Whiteman. Hooper and Strunk jare two stars of the game while Whiteman is “good enough” in tehse war times. The Cubs will depend on Packert, a veteran; Flack, a mediocre _ per- } former, and Mann, a brilliant player at all times. + Vaughan, Tyler and Hendrix, that sterling trio, of flingers which has, pitched the Cubs into a National league championship, probably will lift the club into a world’s title. Vaughn and Tyler are lefthanders far above the average, while Hen- drix, burly righthander, has his best year this season. Phil Douglas {will be called upon for any further righthand duty. 4 | Ruth, Mays, Jones and Bush will |do. the boxwork for Ed Barrow with, continue to work for the|@ Chance that Ruth also will work in Houx and the election of a | the outfield. Of the quartet, Ruth will have the best chance against the Cubs. He is a star in any company and will | defeat the Cubs ag surely as he starts against them. Of the others; little can be said as opposed to Fred Mit- Bush’s skill jpob- ably will be ‘the greatest obstacle, while‘Mays’ cunning will be easily overcome by the Cubs. Catchers compare favorably with ‘the Red Sox Hiaving ‘an edge in that} they Have two ‘stars in Agnew and Schang, while the Cubs will depend wholly upon Killifer. The latter is looked upon in some quartres as the best of the National league back- banee. tak ¥ Pm AC AR LMI serene stops but he'is not yet placed in the A.K.

(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press.) —Ja- pan hag ma: reliminary plans to in- crease her a to build three times the number of dreadnoughts and battle cruisers pre- viously planned. No official announcement has been made, but it is understood that the project adopted at a recent confer- ence of field marshals and fleet ad- mirals includes the creation of an army of 21 corps, or 42 divisions, and the enlargement of the navy 50 that naught and eight battle cruisers. Each of the new army divisiéns will be composed of three regiments, im- stead of four, as at present. Under the new military program Japan would have 126 regiments, as against the present 84, there being} now in existence 21 divisions, each of four, regiments. An increase of 42 regiments is provided for. The naval program adopted at the last session of the Diet was to fill out a fleet of eight dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers. The new naval pro- posal, therefore, means that Japan plans to build two squadrons, each to be composed of eight dreadnaughts and eight battle cruisers, and two ad- ditional cruisers to fill out the pres- ent battle cruiser fleet. words, the construction project calls for sixteen additional dreadnaughts and eighteen more battle cruisers. The estimated ‘expenditure volved is large. That for the army is placed at about $87,150,000, and | that of the navy at about $540,000,- ‘000. It is probable that the actual costs would be much higher, es es- timates mentioned above are based upon figures worked out before the war when prices were lower. a Miss Emma Cooper Bell of New Orleans has the distinction of being the first woman in the United States to conduct a class in motor mechanics for women.
