CRIES FOR HELP BRING THRONG TOWATERFRONT Two Men in Supposedly Distressed Skiff Are Believed Safe Cries for help from two men in a skiff in Gastineau Channel about 200 yards off the wharf of Cash Cule’s .warehouse on Willoughby Avenue shortly after 7 o'clock last evening caused the sounding of the fire alarm and the gathering of a large crowd on the warehouse pler. Evidently, the small boat made shore without aid, for no trace of a little craft or of anybody in the water was revealed by the fire truck’s searchlight or found by pow- F) er boats that searched the neigh- | borhood. Roy Jones, of the Pioneer Air- ways, was in the warehouse when he heard the calls for help. Two Men in Skiff “I hurried to the rear window of the building and could see in the moonlight two men in a small boat about 200 yards off shore. I could not discern whether one of mander of the 4th Army, under whi of the Rainbow Division, in 1923, [———— and again last year. His untiring efforts in helping make the Ameri- can legion visit to Paris in 1927 a success endeared him to every Legionnaire making that pilgrim- age. He has been Military Gover- nor of Paris since 1923. In 1823 Gen. Gouraud toured the United States and visited National Head- quarters of the Legion. Upon his return to Paris, he described the emotion he felt as he greeted his American comrades of the great battle of July, 1918, the turning point of the war. Lost Arm in 1915 ' General Gouraud lost his right arm in 1915, when as commander of the force in Gallipoli, an ex- ploding shell hit it. He still limps from the severe wounds he re- ceived. He has seen much colon- ial service. | Born in Paris, Nov. 17, 1867, he |entered St. Cyr ih 1883, and was commissioned in the infantry in 1890. In 1894 he was seconded for the men in the boat was trying to get back into it the other man from the water or whether both were in the boat, with one rowing and the other bailing. There appeared to be considerbale splashing. I has- tened out the front door, telling two men in the street to turn in the fire alarm, and ran to the float leading to the Alaska-Wash- ington Airways hangar to get a rowboat. I found one without oars, and then went to another nearby craft and took its oars. Rowed Into Channel “As I was untieing the boat into which I had thrown the oars, two| men jumped into it and rowed to- ward where I had seen the suppos- edly distressed skiff. As the craft from the airways float made its way into the channel, I saw a small boat move from where I had first noticed the splashing skiff toward the City Wharf. “I think this boat that I saw cross a beam of moonlight on the waters going toward the City Wharf, was the one from which, emanated the cries for help. My opinion is that it reached shore in safety for no oars, upturned skiff or hats were found floating on the water, and thorough search was made of that part of the channel.” e o0 cnsemand LEGION SMOKER NOW POSTPONED Owing to repairs now in progress at the Arctic Brotherhood Hall, in which the American Legion’s fight arena is housed, the Veterans’ smoker, slated for next Saturday evening has been postponed one week, to October 18, it was an- nounced today by Matchmaker Ken' Junge. In the improvements being made to the building by John E. Green, new owner, there are some changes to the foundation and supports be- neath the floor containing the fight arena. This made postponment necessary. The change in date does not af- fect the card in any way. Both principals in the big- event, ex- Champion Ford Butler, and Joe Collier, will continue their condi- tioning and be in better shape than {duty under the colonial administra- {tion, and thereafter in the French |Sudan for two years. He was !serving in Morocco at the outbreak of the world war. On Sept. 17, 1914, he was made temporary general of |division, and within a few months commander of the Colonial Army | Corps. [ After recovering from his wound' received with the Dardanelles Ex- |peditionary Force, he went to.Italy in charge of a mission, and then in December, 1915, was appointed to command the 4th Army, under |which the two American Divisions, {2nd and 42nd, fought. On July 15,) 1918, the Germans launched their last offensive on the Champagne | front. American troops brought.l the Germans’ last effort to a stand- still in his battle zone. ! e 10,000 AMERICAN ; LEGIONNRIRES PARADE, BOSTON, Great Military Spectacle Presented Lasts for Entire Day BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 8—Seventy thousand Legionnaires yesterday paraded in one of the greatest mili- tary spectacles New England has ever seen.

P. Farm Editor) WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. — Con- temporary economic history never may record a more important date than the departure of R. B. Ben- nett, Prime Minister of Canada, of- ficials of the Canadian wheat pool and members of the Canadian Grain commission for the Imperial economic conference of the British empire. The Labor government is pro- posing an important board to buy all wheat required by British con- sumers—and fix the price for it. The economic realignment of ag- riculture, in which every nation may retire within its own boundaries to become sufficient unto itself, is a probability to consider in connec- tion with the proposed board. 1 In a broad way, the board would' be financed and controlled by the government. It would buy direct| from producers through their pools and cooperative organizations and sell to English millers at cost. It would ‘take all the element of gambling out of the British wheat| trade and insure a grain market for (Contihued on Page Seven) GEN.

The melee started in Boston Square where bootleggers are sald to have been selling liquor to the crowd. Federal agents attempted to ar- rest four men who were defended by the crowd.

It is the fifth world’s champion= ship for Connie Mack. The champions hammered the offerings of Wild Bill Hallahan, Sylvester Johnson and Jim Lind- sey with~the most sustained and spectacular batting attack of the series. Earnshaw held the Cards helpless, and scoreless until the ninth inning when Andy High, who had replaced Adams in the eighth, singled and scored on Hafey’s two=- bagger. | Seven Hits, Seven Runs | As in the opening game of the series, the A's made every hit count for a run. Today they hit safely seven times and scored seven runs. Five of their hits were two taggers and two were home run drives, for a total of eighteen bases.

Miller hit two doubles and Cochrane and Foxx one each. Lasts Two Innings Hallahan lasted two innings and was as wild as he is named. Two walks and two doubles allowed the A’s to score twice in the first frame. Dykes drew a pass, Coch- rane doubled, - Foxx walked and Miller scored Dykes and Mickey with a two-bagger. Wild Bill Hal- |lahan walked one and hit one in the second and was taken out in {the thfrd for a pinch hitter.
