had been struck by several shots.
The men of the Florida jumped TO

were fired at it and down came the

Fietchers Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, April %. The
white house made public today Ad-
uliral Fgetcher's proclamation TO the
city Of Vera cruz. 1t is as follows:
ITO the alcade tets politico and
the citizens o. Vera Cruz, Mexico: 1t
has become necessary for the naval
forces OF the United States OF Amer
lea, now at Vera Cruz TO land and to
assume military control OF the Gus
toms wharyes OF Vera Cruz. Your CO
operation is required to preserve or
der and to prevent loss OF life.
TT is not the Intention OF the Unit
ed States naval forces to interfere
with the administration OF the civil
affairs at Vera Cruz more than neces-
sary for the purpose OF maintaining
condition of law and order. to enforce
such sanitary conditions as are need
ed to meet military requirements.
eft is desired that civil omcials OF
Vera Cruz shall continue in peaceful
pursuit OF their occupation. Under
these conditions full protection will
be assured to the city by the United
States naval forces.
ut is enjoineG upon all inhabitants
and property owners TO prevent firing
by individuals from the shelter of
their houses upon United States
forces or upon any one else. Such
firing by irregulars, not members of
an organized military force Is con-
trary to the laws OF war; II persisted
in it will call for severe measures.

really started this season and Charley
Smith is a dubious prospect.
Some of this ineffectiVeness on the
part of the pitchers is due to the
support accorded them in the field.
At the most critical moments the sup
port explodes and spills the game.
The pitcher then becomes unsettled
and the opposing batters hop aboard
for rally that cleans up the fray.
Corriden has offended so often on
this Eastern trip that O'Day finally
benched him in the middle of the
game yesterday and the vacation is
apt to last long time for the sorrel
top. Saunders, a coDegian, reports
today and will get into. the midst of
things Immediately. The team can't
possibly go worse than in the recent
past and the youngster may develop.
The same goes for the catching de-
partment. Bresnahan is out again
temporarily with his busted thumb
and should have long rest. But with
Archer on the hospital list there can
be no long lay off for Roger. In the
meantime, Needham is doing the
backstopping. ....-. ...
Tom can get away with the job in
fair shape. But he does not steady
the pitchers, cannot throw to bases
as well as either of the regular back
shoppers and will hit many points be-,
low them. .,.~--.---.
Sooner or later a young catcher
will have to be added to the Cub ros-
ter. Archer and -Bresnahan can't go
on forever. Their, long service is
against them and they are more sus-
ceptible to desperate injuries than the
young fellows.
Now is as good time as any to
try HargroVe out and let either show
the goods or fail and slip back to the
minors. The team can't do worse
than lose 1t makes little difference
whether the game is kicked away by
one run or ten. Hargrove lacks ex-

start the reconstruction. There is no
hope for high position this year and
experiments would not be costly. The
box office might be hit, but no safes
are overlooking because of the coin
the West Siders have already coaxed
through the turnstiles.
And experiments now might mean
a. winning team in the future that
would compensate for the present
sip-ups.

His support was also mediocre. Che

Zim poIed two doubles and two sim
giles, Good a double and single, Leach
homer and Schultz and Sweeney
two singles each.
Schultz is hitting just as effectively
as he did during the early part of
the week and is playing up to the
form of which he is capable. He has

Seldom has balIpIayer advanced
so far in two weeks as has Russell
Blackburne. The Sox second base
man began to hit during the visit of
the New York Yanks and has kept
consistently at it against the East's
most effective pitching. In the pinch
or starting rallies he is there with the
willow wand and has made the Sox a
more formidable aggregation.
With the confidence this batting
streak has given him Blackburne has
picked up in his fielding and is cover
ing all the ground there is between
first and second bases.
And also let's chronicle the fact
that John Collins is becoming the

The opening of the Pananla Canal
Is a great boon to the world at
large, The completion of the canal
Will bring the Pacific and Atlantic
sea ports of America much nearer
together. More than that it will
enable Europeans and Americans
alike to reach the west coast of
South America and develop the rich
territory there. Americans built
the canal and think the construc-
ton is of great value to the United
States and to the United States
alone. But the advantage to the

They have been proven OF great
value for scouting. The submarine

since the naval battle between Rus

portunity to try out the new. naval
equipment. The newest thing in
naval equipment is the submarine.

The. submarine has been proven

submarine has not figured in land
bombardments. but in time 1t doubt
less will. It will be made so sea-
worthy that 1t can swing under the
sea. enter hnrbor. rise 10 the sur
face and begin to lombard town.
When the submarine fighters weary
of the bombardment. or run out OF
ammunition they can dive beneath

electric searchlights were used on
ships. but never until this war, were
they used extensively on land.

Much less can you tell what year
will bring forth. Twelve months
ago we knew pretty generally that
ships would be sailing through the
Panama Canal before the end of
1914, but we did not know the kind
of a currency law we would have.

is a success or not. Students will
have to cudgel their brains about
It as they have cudgeled their brains
about similar events in the past.
The year 1914 opened with the
Mexican Revolution problems inher-
tied from previous years. Our Mon
roe Doctrine was widely discussed.
We didn't know IL the Monroe Doc
trine was good thing or net. The
Monroe Doctrine is still being dis
cussed. but out of IL has grown a
Pan-American policy which may de-
velop into something more powerful
than the Monroe Doctrine. BY com
bining the American Republics can
become a great power in the at
fairs OF the world.
The year 1914 has witnessed the
breaking down of the jealousy of
the South American Republics. In

big bully. The more friendly rela-
