Starrett. "Look at

about three and a half per cent. Also

"Were middle men used in buying
supplies)
"In some instances yes,'' said Ma
jor .Si arrett. "We dealt with a middle
man in buying plumbing supplies. Jf
we hail bought them direct we would
have had to buy from twenty five dif
ferent manufacturers, one part from
eacr.Jiolfs, washers, pipes, nickel plates
and so on
" We made one company the assembl

subject intelligently will know that the

that he earned his profit. Generally

(By H. C. Hamilton)
(United Press Staff tjorreRpondent)
New York, Sept. 21. The White Sox
and Bed Sox are now going to start
to have it all out. The Eed Sox prob
ably will see the end of their pennant
hopes in the series that begins today in
Boston and ends Monday. Three games
are scheduled.
Clarence Howland's men probably will
have to face Dutch Leonard today, for
with Babe Hulh eliminated, by pitching
yesterday, Leonard becomes the logical
choice. . ' '
By dropping one game to the Tigers
the hope of the Red Sox became very
feeble. They now can play only 12
gaim s of their schedule. By winning all
of them they could finish with a per
centage of .031. Two more victories by
the flag.

Russian troops toward Biga.
No Capital Punishment.
With Korniloff a prisoner, Kerensky
now faces a trying question of what
to do with him. The premier is either
unwilling or unable to subject the for
mer commander in chief to the death
penalty.
Apparently capital punishment in the
whole army has been abolished.
Premier Kerensky finds it impossible
further to carry out his policy of iron
handed discipline in the army. Capital
punishment bus again been put in the
hands of the soldiers' committee and
that means its total abolition.
Kerensky 's bravery and idealism in
the face of ur paralleled criticism, slan
der and attacks on his life, is unques
tioned. But this surrender of conces
sions to the bolsheviki the fanatical
extremist group who at any time may
start an armed demonstration in favor
of peace is injuring the progress of the

particular period, Bernstorff was tell
ing the press that he would do all in
his power to prevent war between Ger
many and the I'nited States.
And he continued to say even after
the brenk that he would use his in'
fluence upon reiichlng Berlin to avoid
actual hostilities. Ho was known to send
messages to his government at that time
endeavoring to straighten out the tang
led relations of the two countries.
Bernstorff, while professing to feel
kindly toward America, wished to avoid
war simply for the reuson that Ameri
can strength would turn the balance
against lierninny authorities say.
The link between tiermnny and the
Irish Americans hns been known rath
er dearly to this government for some
time, and the Sir Boger Casement affair
showed rather cpnclnsively that Ger
many was seeking Irish-American sym
pathizers or trying to create trouble for
England and home rule for Ireland.
Congress May Clean House.
Tho stato department did not an
nounce the name of the organization
which was to handle the $."0,000 though
probably investigation has given the
Oevernment n line on its identity.
Just how the message came into the
American government's possession is
kept a secret, as in the case with all
documents pioving Germany ' guilt.
The systematic relation of Teuton in
trigue on this continent and elsewhere
is deemed likely to have tho effects of
not only stirring up the Vnited States
to its danger, but also further convinc
ing the Gcriunu peoplo that their gov
ernment is a sinister thing.
The stato department indicnted that
it is convincid of. the identity of the
organization Bernstorff referred to,
though there is sufficient doubt to pre
vent announcement.
The department tended to dissipate
the idea of nny actual expenditure of
money on congressmen direct. It was
admitted that propaganda telegrams
sent to congress had their origin in Ger
man money.
Bernstorff may have cnt his mes
sage with til. aid of some neutral dip
lomat. Though it apparently reached
Berlin, it was probably intercepted and
decoded.
Bernstorff Knew It.
