GERMANY AT LAST TAKEN INTO LEAGUE OF NATIONS Assembly, by Unanimous Vote, Admits Berlin Government and Gives It Per- $7,000,000 DEAL WINNER AND LOSER IN WISCONSIN RACE FOR SENATORSHIP It KULUriM WORLD SERIES SEATS HERE President Breadon Announces That Only Two Tickets Per Game Per Person Will Be Sold. MUST MAKE ORDER FOR ALL 3 CONTESTS Checks Being Received Now Are Ignored Cardinals Must First'. Clinch the Pennant. Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, announced today that but two seats per game would be alloted to a person, if the St. Louis Nationals win the pennant and the right to represent the National League in the world's series.

The only exception to this rule will tae the regular season box holders. When applications are officially received each applicant must put in a request for seats for all the games played in St. Louis. Thus, a person would have to send cerl-fied checks hy. mail to cover six two for each game.

"We will take care of our regular box holders first," said President Breadon. "After that we will allot two tickets to each other applicant we are able to care for. Of course, it must be remembered that so many seats must be set aside for Commissioner Landis and Presidents Ileydler and Johnson. Prices Same as in Past. "As in the past, box seats for the world's series will, be $6.60 each and the reserved, seats $5.50.

Breadon stated that fans who send In checks at this time for world's series reservations are not being considered, and merely are handicapping the Cardinal office force. "We have received a great many applications to date," the Cardinals' president added. "However, as fast as we can we are returning these checks. Any applications sent in before an official announcement is made that they! are being accepted, will be treated in this man ner. Breadon will represent the Cardinals at the meeting in Pittsburg Saturday, called by Commissioner Landis to arrange for the 192G world's series.

It is probable that Breadon will have an official announcement to make upon his return to St. Louis. The first division teams in each league were invited to be represented pt the Pittsburg meeting. Seating Plans Being Drawn) The Cardinals' owner also stated that he was having plans drawn up at present with the view of enlarging Sportsman's Park to seat 40.000 persons if the world's series is played In St. Louis.

Sportsman's Park at present has a seating capacity of 33,863. so that 6137 seats would have to be added. Some ct these additional seats will be accomplished by an addition of a row or rows in front of the pror nt boxes and by the extension of ihe bleachers into center field, or a second deck on the pavilion, or Under an agreement reached by the major league officials last season, the first two games of the 1926 world's series will be played ir. the city winning the American League championship, probably New York. The next three would be played in the National League city.

Thus, if the Cardinals get into the world's series, games No. three, four and five, if that many-are played, will be decided In St. Louis. Then, if more are needed the clubs will switch back to the American League city to finish out the set. Four games oy of seven will again decide the supremacy of the baseball universe."

Loewenstein Terms, Made Public, Would Leave Lender Industrial Master of Nation. CoDyrlzht. 192R. by the Press and Pulitzer Publishine (Xpw York World and Post-DisDatclO PARIS, Sept. 8.

The Belgian Cabinet has decided to refuse the Loewenstein offer of an interest-free loan of $50,000,000 'for two years, realizing that if it accepted the lenders would become the industrial masters of Belgium and acquire a monopoly of telephone, telegraph and electric power exploitation, including Congo projects. The secret of Loewenstein's conditions is now out. He would form a trust. In exchange for the Belgian Government woji.l give the lenders 1,750,000,000 Belgian paper francs. With these notes the trust would buy foreign stocks of gold value, notably those of Belgian industries, especially in silk, coal and iron.

One condition of the loan was that the Belgian Government, during the term of the loan, must waive the right to buy foreign money except through the Loewenstein trust. In the event of th-2 Belgian franc losing value, the trust would be entitled to claim reimbursement in dollars. Moreover. Belgian! would be obliged to accept the trust's plan for the stabilization of the currency. CARDINAIJMCOMTaN EVEN MONEY BET ON WALL STREET Wagers Are Numerous in Si.

Fif teen Jews already have been attacked, according to reports from Warsaw, as the result of an alleged "ritual murder" of a Gypsy girl.

The girl, Lucia Gaman. 18 years old, was found dying in the Jewish cemetery ut Dobrzyn. She is re ported to have said that she was strangled by a Jew with a long beard. A Jew named Flosberg was arrested. Immediately attacks on the Jews began.

The hostility of the non-Jewish population is increasing. It is reported that police have ac cepted the "ritual murder" theory, but the cause of the girl's death is still unverified, as her father will not permit the district doctor to make an examination on the ground that the doctor looks like a Jew.

A. R. Higgins of the gunboat Dispatch and Lieut. C. F.

Tang Sen, an adherent of Wu Pei-Fu, seized the steamers Wantung and Wanhsein, belonging to the British firm of Butlerfield, Swire, lying in port at Wanhsein, at the same time lining the banks of the river with troops and refusing to permit communication between the two vessels. The General threatened to fire on the gunboat Cockchafer, whose officers sought intervene.

The British Consul, summoned from Chungking, undertook futile negotiations to release the steamer's officers, whereupon a British naval expedition of 40 men, commanded Commander Darley cf the cruiser Dispatch, was ordered from Hangkow and arrived at Wanhsein in the small river freighter Kiawo on Sept. 5. The following day the Kiwanow attempted to approach the steamer Wanhsein and succeeded -in rescuing its officers when the Chinese began firing from the banks.

the ship was boarded by 16 armed Chinese soldiers and menaced by a sampan carrying other troops. The Wanliu sought to escape slowly while the offices drove off the soldiers. The sampan became fouled and sank, the, Wanliu proceeding to Wanhsein. Yang Sen declared the Wanliu sank two junks, drowning 56 soldiers and causing a loss to ths Chinese of $85,000 and that.
