Alexander who appeared to bo the
last hope of the National League
champions Bays he is anxious to go
back in the box today and feels »u -o
that with the brilliant offensive sup-
port his teammates nave put up
throughout the series he can deli\ r
the game that will give the Phillies
e fighting chance for the title.
Should the tall Nebraskan not show
prim.- condition in the eyes of Mana-
ger Moran in preliminary p.-aetue
however it was believed that the
Philly leader will p‘n his faith in
Eh pa Rixey the lanky port sider
from Virginia while others thought
that Mayer might be given an oppor-
tunity to revenge his defeat of Sat-
urday. Tlie Rosterians nave been
able to beat all the right-handers
Moran has sent against tlmm includ-
ing Mayer Alexander and Chal-
mers and many Philly supporters
thought that the erratic Rixey with «
home crowd to urge him on would
bo able to give a good account of
himself.
George roster who had the r-?i;i-
ndelphla batters practically at his
mercy here on Saturday and won
the game by hir own timely hitting
was looked upon as Manager Cardi-
gan's most likely pitching selection
although it was believed by rainy
that if "Babe" Ruth the big left
bander were right he might bo-giv-
en a chance to show what he can do.
Regardless of who tiie leader of the
'‘ d Sox sends to the mound sup-
porters of the Phillies are confident
that Moran’s men will do better
8<ick work today than the; have yet
shown in the series. They claim to
see in the seven hits secured by ho
National Leaguers against Shore
yesterday a .recovery of their bat-
ting eye.
The Phillies themselves although
somewhat downcast over their three
straight defeats wore still hop'ful
that the iide would turn :ti t oir
favor. One thing appeared certain;
They were determined to put up the
struggle of th-’ir lives today. In
the event of i victory th >v will re-

A Merchant Marine Is Needed by j
America in Order that Country i
May Metier Promote Com-
merce of the Sea.
WASHINGTON Oct. 13.—The
first official announcement of the !
administration’s merchant marine
hill was made by Secretary McAdoo j
today in an exclusive interview with i
the United Press in which he de- j
tailed the plans for building a nav- j
al reserve fleet to be operated !
through a corporation in which the:
government would be the chief or!
sole stockholder. The interview I
came on the eve of the secretary’s j
departure on It is western trip dur- j
ing which he will speak in behalf of'
tlie measure. He summed up the
five chief factors as follows:
First The necessity for an aux-
iliary fleet to the navy a measure
of preparedness in keeping with the
government’s plan of rehabilitation
of the navy's defensive.
Second. The necessity for imme-
diate relief for American commerce
so that American shippers and pro-
ducers may not be dependet t upon
foreign flags and exorbitant rates
of an unregulator}’ merchant ma-
rine.
Third. The hope tnai pri\aie capi-
ta! may enter into a vigorous compe-
tition with foreign trade.
Fourth. The government is the
only agency of sufficient strength
and resources to give the quick as-
sistance that is necessary.
Fifth. Delay means not only re-
jection of full possibilities ior Ameri-
can trade but means the neglect of
the greatest commercial opportunity
ever offered a nation.
• In the light of the world” said
the secretary ‘ the creation of a
merchant marine is one of the most
vital problems facing the American
people today. 1 believe the president
win recommend the passage of this
legislation at the approaching ses-
.sion of congress.

Money-MalringWays
of Using Want Ads'
N_ | a Series of Want Ads i
for Business People
Experienced advertisers will tell you there is no
such thing as the best Want Ad on earth. A Went Ad
has o certain definite purpose ahead of it. When it
does the business it ceases to be ef value.
There are more uses to Want Ada however than merely
using one and then forgetting that the Want Ad columns
exist.
If Want Ada bring bunaoe ones they can bring business
again. But do not use the earns Want Ad. Plan s series

the chancellor would give out the
German position regarding the land-
ing of troops in Greeee. The foreign
minister received me the chancel-
lor being absent. At the conclusion
of the above statement I asked if
the final decision in the Balkans had
brought about another psychological
l>eare movement. He replied:
“You must ask Germany’s en-
emies.’’
I inferred that Germany continues
willing to consider peace If the al-
lies will make overtures. My im-
pression is that the people believe
that now the cause of England’s en-
trance into the war has been remov-
ed by the landing of allied troops in
Greece it is but reasonable to be-
lieve that the allies’ cause for pro-
longing the war has aiso been remov-
ed. 1 concluded that Germany :s
awaiting Ambassador von Bernstorf's
full report of his discussion with
Secretary Lansing; that Germany is
glad all the differences with Amer-
ica have been bridged; that the sub-
marine commander wllo sank ' the
Arabic told a most interesting story
which will be sent to Secretary Lans-
ing. and that Germany feels that she
is unduly handicaped by lack of
cable communication with Born-
storff.
Foreign Minister von Jagow’s
statement regarding the landing cf
allied troops in Greece is as fol-
lows:
“The English newspapers are tak-
ing the greatest pains to demonstrate
that there is not the least analogy
between Germany’s entry into Bel-
gium and the landing of allies at
Salonica under General Hamilton.
They emphasize that the Greek gov-
ernment and parliament forewent
the right to protest against the en-
tente’s procedure with armed force
and that the allies never had in view
any action on Greek soil which
would be unwelcome to Greece.
“This latest assertion is far from
being accurate for Greece did pro-
test against the landing. If Greece
refrains from resisting by armed
force that will not mitigate Eng-
land’s and France’s blame.’’
The neutrality violation of Bel-
gium by Germany and that of Greece
by England and France has no com-
parison.
As we were forced to enter Bel-
gium we made most liberal offers to
the Belgian government to protect
the country against the horrors of
war. The Belgian government how-
ever. refused out offer and plunged
the country into war. It has not
been announced whether the entente
powers made similar offers of secur-
ity to the Greek government that
Germany made to Belgium. It ap-
pears that such was not the case.
It is stated that England and France
have violated Greek neutrality in
the most brutal manner.
"The English press is indignant
over Germany's entry into Belgium
but is silent on the entry of Eng-
land and France into Greece. Now
Greece must sacrifice her honor be-
cause it corresponds to England's
interest to do so. Statesmen and
public opinion have changed over the
Belgian neutrality.
"In a letter from Ambassador
Hatzfeld at London dated Febru-
ary 4 1887 the ambassador report-
ed that an annoytuous letter had
been printed in the Standard in
which it was pointed out that al-
though England had taken over the
guaranty of Belgian neutrality yet
circumstances had changed and it lay
to the interest of English politicians
to giant to Germany if necessary
the right to pass through Belgium
provided Germany did not touch Bel-
gium's integrity.’’
