REPLIES TO
THE KAISER
Hopes the War vii Soon End
When the Dayof Account
ing Will Surely Come.

WASHINGTON Sept. 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson replied today to the mes
sage recently received from Emperor
William protesting against the alleged
use by the allied armies of dumdum
bullets. He said he had read the COM
but that it would be unwise and pre-
mature for the United States to ex'
press any final judgment in the con-
troversy.
The message was almost identical
with the speech made to the Belgian
commission, which protested against
alleged German atrocities.
A cablegram replying to the protest
of President Poincare of France, who
charged that the Germans were using
dumdum bullets, also was prepared.
1t was not made public, but was known
to follow closely the text of the pres
ident's message to Emperor William,
which was as follows:
II received your imperial majesty's
important communication Of the sew
enth and have read it with gravest
interest and concern. ! am hOnored
that you should have turned to me for
an impartial judgment as the repre-
sentative of a people truly disinter-
ested as respects the present war and
truly desirous of knowing and accept
ing tho truth.
"Yon will, am sure, not expect ME
to say more. Presently, pray God
very soon, this war will be over. The
day of accounting then will come,
when take it for granted the nations
Of Europe will assemble to determine
a settlement. Wher; wrongs have
been committed their consequences
and the relative responsibility in
yolved will be assessed. The nations
Of the world have fortunately, by
agreement, made a plan for such q
reckoning and settlement. What sncf
a plan cannot compass. the opinion
of mankind, the final arbiter in sucs
matters, will supply. 1t would be I'm
wise, it would pe premature, for sin
gle government, however, fortunately
separated from the present struggle, II
would be even inconsistent with the
neutral position of any nation, which
like this, has no part in the contest
to form tr to express final juts
ment.
81 .De4k thus frankly because
know that you will expect and wisf
me to do so as one friend should Il
another, end because l feel sure thai
such reservation of judgment ent'
the end of the war, when all 1t:
events ;hd circumstances can be seer
in their entirety and i'll their true re
lation Will commend itself to you a.:

WITH BASES FULL,
BURNS Is A TERROR.

If George Burns, the New York
Giants crack outfelder, continues
much farther along his present course
he's apt to receive lot of attention
from the folks who tinker with com
binations in restraint of things.
Four times within the past month
Burns has gone to bat to find all the
bases filed. Four times he has swept
them clear. three times with triples and
once with Il homer. With four belts
Burns has scored thirteen runs, not to
mention those he has himself scored
through the assistance of the opposing
pitcher or of the succeeding batters.

LEFT HANDED BALL PLAY
ERS ARE ECCENTRIC.

A group OF baseball players
We're discussing left handlers the
other day, and as they ranged
from Waddell to Benton to Sal
lee they agreed that the man
who pitches with his wrong arm
is always the possessor of eccen-
trio moods. "Slim Sallee was
working against the Giants on a
Saturday afternoon at the Polo
grounds" said one member of
the group, land in the seventh
inning the Giants filledjth bases
and needed only iohe run to, tie. /
A ball was hit to Sallee, but in 2
stead of throwing the bali to the
plate and forcing a man he hurl-
ed it to first. When he got back
TO the bench the rest of the play
ers began to ride him and ac-
cused the pitcher of having been
ratified by the shouts of the
crowd.
"'Oh, let me alone said Slim
plaintively. L didn't mind the
crowd. ! was just thinking of
my poor little dog at home. He's
all alone"

Football Player Out For Season.
1t was learned recently that w.
Swart, who played a star game on the
Princeton football team last fall. has
been so badly hurt as to make his play
ing,this season doubtful.
Swart has been working all summer
with the construction company in
charge of the new stadium. He was
soon to finish his duties there before
reporting for practice.
1t was while experimenting the cree
ton of one of the big concrete mixers
that he received his injuries, which,
while not expected to prove serious,
are of such n nature, it is said, as to
incapacitate him for anything as siren
