SUBMARINE CONFIRMED

By The United Press.
LONDON, Aug l0.--Purposely not To-
eating the scene Of the encounter, the
Admiralty today confirmed the sinking
by the British cruiser squadron Of the
German submarine U-l5. The fact that
the official statement said the main
British cruiser feet" had been attacked
by the submarines was taken as proof
positive that the battle occurred in the
North Sea-
The Admiralty said that the British
fleet had suffered no damage from the
submarines attack.
The German submarine U.l5 was a
vessel of 300 tons and carried a crew OF
fifteen. 1t is assumed that all were

KAISER joins ARMY
AT AK -CHAPPELLE
By the United Press.

PARIS, Aug. 10.-Kaiser Wilhelm
is reported at Aix-la-Chappelle pre-
pared to assume supreme command
Of the German army that is trying to
force the passage Of Belgium and
Luxembourg. This means, the mill
tary experts here say, that the real
test of the allies is at hand.
The English, French and Belgian
armies that have concentrated on
Namur and the line extending from
that point across to a point in Luxem-
burg which is not revealed, will have
to check the real Germany army, as
the presence Of the Kaiser means that
the crack Prussian infantry, hereto
fore believed to have been held in
reserve, will attempt to push south
along the Mouse river.

GEORGETOWN, Del, Aug 10.-The
first effect Of the European war was
felt on Saturday morning among sus-
sex county farmers, when scarlet
clover seed Jumped in price from
$3.40 a pushel TO 1925, with every
reason to believe the price will raise
still higher
Farmers have been predicting that
food values would raise In price and
that they would make lots Of money
this year, but they had forgotten that
a great amount of the scarlet clover
seed comes from France and Ger
many. whore 1t was first discovered
as winter clover clover crop. The

not bought their seed are liable to

dealers for about SO bushel and will
now have the opportunity to buy the

burg from the north and west may
be in contemplation to join the
French forces moving up from Null
hansen. II France attempts SO dar-
ing an enterprise, it will probably be
under the personal direction of Cen
eral Joffre, the chief
of the entire French army who has
always advocated offensive tactics
from the start.
Proclamations in AIsace are being
issued in General Joffre's name,
which seems to indicate his personal
command Of Frances Alsace- Lorraine
army. If this assumption is correct,
France is facing the daring project
OF forcing her way across the Rhine.
The difficulties are indicated by Ger
many's unsuccessful efforts to dom
mate the far lesser defenses of the
Mouse.
The confused reports about the fate
OF Liege probably mean the Belgian
general staff has decided not to keep
It's army shut within the town. as
France did at Sedan and Metz, in
1870.
The mobile Belgian forces probably
have left Liege for action as a field
army, leaving a handful of defenders
in each Of the twelve forts to con-
tinue the struggle. Those Germans
who can creep in between the forts
are thus permitted to occupy the city,
but in the meantime, the vast German
forces outside are being held at bay
by a handful of artillery servers in
the steel and concrete blockhouses.

Is right here at .hime, and no one will
claim on day like this that our fair
city is spot for spring training.
Hal Chase, the best fielding tenn
permanent now operating around first
base, has not decided whether to re-
main with the Sox or jump to the
Federal League. The Feds have
made him proposition, but Hal re-
fuses to tie up for less than $4,000
a year and a bonus of $4,000. For
this amount of coin he would sign a
three-year contract.
There is a strong chance that
Chase will get his desires, and then
he will be face-to-face with the prop
ositiOn of playing in one place for
three years, without a place to jump
to when he becomes dissatisfied with
his surroundings.
Nineteen hits were made by the
Sox first team against Paso Robes
yesterday, which is more than they
will make again until the first game
of next seasons training trip. This
remarkable total will gradually
shrink under the warming spring sun,
and as the athletes move eastward
their swat column will assume it's
normal appearance of four to eight
hits.
The game was farce and did not
prove the worth of the athletes. But
they had considerable running to do,
and this worked the stiffness out of
winter-deadened muscles.
Another record was established.
Reb Russell pitched four innings and
allowed five runs and six hits, two of
the swats being homers by the small
town catcher, whose name is Backus.
The Sox have renamed that guy
Whackus.

Again today the Cubs will tangIe
with the st. Louis Browns, and O'Day
plans to. use some of his veterans in
the lineup. Safer will be out with
his injured leg, Mollwitz taking his
place. Heinie Zim and Bronkie are
also suffering from slight ailments,
and may be given days vacation.
Roger Bresnahan will 60 behind
the bat for the first time this season
in actual combat, and try out his
wing Shooting the Brownies dead at
second base. The Harp was over
weight when he reported, but has
worked off the surplus flesh and is
about as small as he ever will be.
Bresnahan and O'Day seem to be
getting along in perfect harmony,
and Roger is being consulted by the
manager on many questions concern
ing the abilities of the youths trying
for regular jobs with the Cubs.
O'Day will, in measure, follow the
lead of Connie Mack and John Nc
Graw this season, and will leave the
disposition of many mooted questions
to the decision of a board of strategy,
composed of himself, Bresnahan and
Tommy Leach, who reported for
active work today.
They will meet each morning be-
fore the game and plan the after
moons campaign, going over the bat
tie of the day before, and deciding
just what mistakes were made and
who was responsible.
Humphries, Pierce, Smith and
Cheney form the quartet from which
today's pitchers will be selected.
