NEW YORK. Dec. l7.-That Hartle-
pool, Scarborough and Whitby, the
three English towns bombarded by
German wa-ships yesterday, are de-
Tended places and therefore subject to
attack under the rules OF war, is the
substance OF statement issued here
tonight by Captain Franz Won Papen,
military attache OF the German embas-
sy at Washington. The statement fol-
lows
"In reference to yesterdays bom-
bardment of three English coast
towns, Hartlhpoo!. Scarborough and
'Whitby. by the German fleet, atten-
tion ia respectfully called to article /
OF The Hague convention, Of October
Is. 1907. which says:
THE bombardmeHt by naval forces
OF undefended ports, towns. villages,
dwellings or buildings is forbidden
I'm concurrence with the report OF
the English official press bureau the
fact Is established that HartlepOol Is
fortified. while Scarborough and Whit
by are defended, like all other British
coast places, either by regular troops,
coast guns or volunteers.
Permit me to state that in addition
the bombardment of the coast places,
such as Ostend, Nieuport, Zeebrugge,
ETC., by the British-French nav did
not take place because these places
were fortified which in fact they are
not. but solely because they are de-
tended by German troops"

CONNIE MACK
ON EFFICIENCY

: Connie Mack is probably the great
est baseball manager the national
game has yet produced. During the
past IS seasons the Athletics, of which
he is the manager, has won five AM
erican League pennants and three
worlds championships. McClure's
Magazine for May has story in which
Mr.. Mack talks about red liquor and
the failure 1t has created in baseball
history. Mack's games were won on
a total abstinence basis. His players
didn't drink. He has this to say about
players who did drink:
who puts the ball player out OF the
game? You would naturally say the
umpire" wouldn't you? Well, all the
umpires together haven't put as many
ball players out of the game as has
Old Man Booze.
Now, don't get off on the wrong
foot. Boozing is not common among
the high-grade ballplayers. 1t was
common 20 years ago; but today it
is rare in the majors-boozing. Keep
in mind, though, that steady-"moder-
ate"-drinking gets a ball player in
the end just as sure as boozing. Al
cohol slows a man down inevitably,
and slowing down is the reason for

armory wasn't opened because he
