Berlin, Oct. 18. The world'a storm
of Indignation against Germany tor
Invading Belgium is "cant," or
"schwlndol," declared Porefgn Min
ister von Jagow in an Interview given
to the United Press today concerning
the action of the allies in landing
troops at Salonlkt.
I asked the foreign office if the
chancellor would give out Germany's
position on the landing. Tho foreign
secretary rocelved me, the chancellor'
being absent, and at the conclusion,
of his statement I asked if the final
decision of the Balkans bad brought
.about another psychological ' peace
moVement. He replied:
"You must ask Germany's ene-
mica." ,v ; ,' . ; , ' :., f ... i
I inferred that Germany was will
ing to consider peace If the allies
nake the first overtures. It was my
impression further that the people be
lieve that not only has' the cause
for England's entrance Into the war
been removed by the landing in
Oreece but the reasons for the allies'
reported prolonging of the war has
also been removed.
During the course of a half hour's
conversation with the foreign minis
ter, the American situation was dis
cussed. I concluded that Germany
is awaiting Ambassador von Bern
stortt's full report of discussions with
Secretary lanslng; that Germany is
glad all differences with , America
"have boen bridged; that the submar-
ine commander who sank the Arablo
told ft most Interesting story, which
-will be sent to Lansing: and that Ger
many, feels Immeasurably handicap
ped by the lack of cable communica
tion with von Bernstorff.
' Von Jagow's statement regarding
the Salonlkl landing follows:
"The English newspapers' art tak
ing the greatest pains to demonstrate
that there Is not the least analogy
tietweon Germany's entry of Belgium
and the landing of English and
Trench troops at Valonlkl under Gen-
. eral Hamlltot, They emphasis the

Philadelphia. , Oct. 18. Harry
Hooper, the 1915 edition of Home
Run Baker, gave Boston another
world's baseball championship this
afternoon, with two home runs into
the center field bleachers. The Cali
fornia came to bat In the ninth
inning when the score tied at four
and tour and sent the J916 series
into history with a terriflo clout
which cleared the center field fence
on the bounce by three feet. It was
the fourth straight victory for Bos
ton and the third victory which had
boon won In the ninth inning by one
run.,'"'.:.-' , : ,
The crowd swarmed down upon
the field as Kllllfer, pinch hitting for
Rixey, made the last out and fought
to get near the Boston bench where
Hooper waa being mobbed by hia
joyful team mates. For fifteen min
utes after the game the crowd surged
around the Boston bench, clamoring
for a sight of the new born hero,
but he was spirited away and the
crowd was forced to depart without
getting to him. ,i
Philadelphia lost as befitted cham
plons. After the weakest hitting lh
a world's series, the Phillies sudden
ly found their ibattlng eyes at the
start of the game and bomtbarded

again kicked through today with one
of the stellar fielding stunts or the
game. Speaker's smash to short in
the seventh waa ft terriflo blow. It
almost knocked Bancroft down when
he dashed In front of It, but the coast

the peg to first. The play waa light

Into the breach left by Mayer in the

phia's hopes skyward.
Rixey came in with the score that
tied the game, and allowed only four
hits the remainder of the game,
which is a better record than any
other Philadelphia pitcher has made.
Two of ; these hits, however, were
home runs, and they sent his hero
hopes into nothing. f
In the fourth inning Rixey's team
gave him a pair of runs, a homer by
Luderus and an 'error by Hooper,
furnishing the marker. But for the

Secrcbiy l!cAd:3 Tells C:.t
th Gsyenr::t VcJi
Ei U? Naval Eeccm
Vzizt Federal Ccrp:nti:a
Washington, Oct 13 The first of
ficial announcement of the adminis
tration's merchant marine bill has
been made by Secretary McAdoo In an
exclusive interview with the United
Press, in which he detailed plana for
building np a naval reserve to be op-
rated through a corporation in which
the government is sole stockholder.
This statement was made on the
eve of his departure for, a western
trip, on which he will speak In be
half of the measure. The five chief
factors were, summed up, aa follows:
The necessity for an auxiliary fleet
for the navy a measure of prepared
ness In keeping with the plan of re
habilitation ot the navy's defenses.
The necessity for immediate relief
of American commerce, so that ship
pers and producers will not be de
pendent upon foreign flags and sub
ject to exorbitant ratea and insecure
routes of unregulated merchantmen.
fiiThe hopelessness of private capital
coming "promptly and vigorously to
the relief of American foreign trade.
"The fact that the government is
the only agency of sufficient strength
and resources to give the quick assist
ance necessary.
Tho fact that delay means not only
the rejection of the full possibilities
of expansion of trade nut the neglect
of tho greatest commercial opportun
ity ever offered to the nation.
"In the light of world events," Mc
Adoo said, "the creation of a merch
ant marine under the American flag
is the most vital economic problem
facing America. I hope and believe
the president will recommend passage
of this legislation at the approaching
session ot congress. I hope the ship
ping bill, altered so as to make it
meet all of today's conditions will
become law. The fundamentals of
the bill should oe retained, but In
view of the military lessons of the
war, it should oe so modified as not
only to create a merchant marine but
to provide a fleet of steamers respon
sive to the requirements ot naval
auxiliaries in time ot war, :
"In speeches I expect to make on
the present trip I .will further explain
my views on these changes."
Leaning forward to emphasize his
earnestness, with his arm out
stretched, the secretary continued;
"There can be no difference ot oplnT
ion regarding the necessity tor ade
quate naval auxiliaries and for de
velopment ot our navy homogeneous
ly, so that all parts will be sufficient
and work in thorough reciprocation.
Acute questions that have arisen in
our foreign relations have empha
sized our necessity tor a good navy,
not a lopsided navy, but a thoroughly
developed and well balanced one in
all parts."'-,;..'-..'
. The secretary turned to his desk
and picked, up figures from the navy
department showing that it requires
400 merchant vessels for auxiliaries.
"It is common knowledge," he
added, "that this tonnage 1,172,000
gross can only be supplied In part
from vessels under American regis
try. Obviously, it they are Ibuilt by
the government they can not be left
idle In our harbors."
