MAKES APPEAL FOR
ENGLISH NEUTRALITY
Councillor of German Embassy Says
Great Britain Can Render France
Assistance Just the Same.

LONDON, August 3. = Dr.. Van
Kuhlman, councillor of the German en-
bassy here, today issued a remarkable
appeal for the neutrality of England in
the European turmoil. 1t said:
",The maintenance of British ncu-
traIity would in no way injure France.
On the contrary, it might be argued
that by remaining neutral Great Brit
ain could give France exactly as much
strategic assistance and good deal
more effective diplomatic help as ac-
cording to all reliable information
there is no intention Of sending Brit
ish troops to the continent and as Il
few British divisions considering the
enormous numbers engaged would
hardly alter the balance Of power. All
England can do for France is to pro
tect het northern coast from invasion
and prevent the neutral ports of Bel
eium and Holland from being used as
bases for armed aggression against
France.
"Germany would be disposed to give
an understanding that she would not
attack France by sea on the north or
make any warlike use of the. seaeoast
of Belgium and Holland if it appeared
that Great Britain would make this
understanding a condition OF her neu-
trality for the time being, Thus Eng
land without going to war herself could
render France the maximum of assist
anee she would give her by going to
war

wisdom of Eddie Plank, with the firm
confidence that, if Tyler gets by to-
day, James will beat them on Mon
day.
The Athletics, however, are far
from discouraged and the defeat had
little or no effect upon them.
There was not a sign Of the
weakening of MaCk's great machine.
1t looked just as good as ever, save
for the fact that it was stopped by
Rudolph's pitching. Whenever it
had anything to do, it did it and did
it brilliantly.
Collins and Baker pulled one great
double play and Collins made one OF
the most wonderful plays OF the
game in breaking down a base hit,
slapping the ball to Barry while go
ing the other direction, and Barry,
by lightning peg to first, came near
turning the base hit into an out.
Outside Of Strunk's amazing slow
ness in getting started in two in
stances, the Athletics looked just the
same and they seemed a better ball
club than the one that beat them.
The Chief looked good. He was
fast, his fast ball was hopping and
his curve was breaking fairly we'll
