The War Situation
From Day To Day
(From ". Y. stants-Zeintungl


1t is the intention of the Stats
,eZitung to publish each day col
ann of news and discussion OF tho
news relating TO the European situa-
tion. So much has been written re-
sarding the attitude OF Germany
which is based upon sheer ignorance
Of the. conditions abroad. and SO
much has been written in sympathy
with the enemies of Germany, that
I intend to state MS frankly and clear
" as can the German point of view.
This column is written in English
for the purpose of reaching those
who do not read German. l realize
that 1t is difficult to obtain a fair
idea of the real situation by reading
the English-printed daily New York
press.
I do not pretend that my view
point is entirely unprecedented. 1t is
ffficult in the heat OF battle to as

titude.
My sympathics are entirely with
Germany and Austria. The Father

hat Germany and Austria are fight

Theodore Roosevelt polled 1,26a

the Progressive county convention
which had been widely advertised,
there were but twenty-five Progress

THREATENED IN
OAHU LEAGUE

In case the St. Louis team is not
admitted into the Oahu league, there
is little doubt in my mind that
the ST Louis College Alumni Asso-
citation will do all in its power to pl g
vent the Oahu league or its repre-
sentatives from securing a renewa! Of
as lease on Athletic park. The asso-
citation has considerable influence in
the matter of renewing the leasC and,
as tar as ! am concerned. | am in
a position at this time to proven: the
renewal"
This statement was made this morn
ing by Ben Hollinger. president Of
the st. Louis College Alumni Assoc
citation. when asked for his views on
the refusal of the Oahu league to re-
ceive St Louis into the organization.
1t is understood that the team has
secured an attorney and that it in
tends waging a bitter fight on the
ground that. from past promises, St.
Louis should rightfully be taken into
the league.
Why the league should refuse to
take in a team that is backed up by
more than 500 young men is what |
can't understand continued Holm
ger. Some time ago promises were
made that the team would be taken
into the league, and for that reason
St Louis has refused several offers to
join with other leagues. Now the
Oahu league comes forward and says
that St. Louis can not come in. II
the team is. not taken in. there is
going to be something doing. that's
all. I'm not worrying over the mat.
ter. but I think that now / am in a
position to prevent the Oahu league
from securing renewal of its lease
on Athletic park
Athletic park at present is leased to
Thomas Treadway, and it is under his
lease that. the. Oahu league operates
there. 1t is. understood that this lease
expires the latter part of next month.
