Threat to Pulitzer
For German Expose

NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Discussing
the Worlds exposure of the secrets of
German propagandists, Herman Ridder
says In an article in the Staats-Zei-
tung today:
The disclosure of the correspondence
In regard to the details of such trans
actions, by the World, hampers only to
a slight extent this legitiTatc activity,
by aggravatirg the already strained re-
lations between this country ard Ger
many.
The World has done a doubtful serv-
ice for the country In which i is pub
lished-doubtful as was its exposure of
the Panama scandal''-and Mr.. Ralph
Pulitzer will be recompensed therefor,
beyond a peradvcnture, in that it es-
tablisheS without question that the
Austrian blood which flows in his veins
is thinner than the waters Of the At
lantc.
A commander in the Am ic n navy
lowed the British off the mud banks
of Taku anu wrote the phrase, blood
Is thicker thNn water" into American
parlance. The son OF or" who elected
America rather than the country OF his
birth for his domicile has chosen to
delete It thcrcfrom.

AERO CLUB WANTS

Because Of the inability Of the Navy

addressed letters to the governors of
the forty-eight States in the Union sug-
gesting that the governors conference.

The governors are asked to petition
Congress to support bills which will be
in the Senate and House to
provide necessary equipment for the
formation of aviation corps in the

Tho letter of the Aero Club to the
governors says the club learns with
regret that the Navy Department can
not fulfill the promise made several
months ago to loan aeroplanes to the
naval militia of twenty-threa States
having such organizations. This is a
serious matter as it delays for at lea st
one year the prospects of getting as

BERLIN. Aug. % (Via The Hague).-
Il doubt If German submarine sank
the Arabic without warning. German
submarines will sink no ships without
warning. Why does America always
seek the bad viewpoint? Why does she
not think something good of Germany"
A very high official of the German
government made this declaration to
me when questioned about press re-
ports regarding the torpedoing of the
White Star liner.
This official declared he could not be-
lieve that any American lives had been
lost through the sinking of the Arabic.
He said that the admiralty has not yet
had reports from the submarine, and
that he hoped America would not judge
before every fact had been collected,
including the statements OF the Ger
man submarine commander.
Press reports received here are very
conflicting. One report said the Arabic
struck a mine. Others report the feel
ing In America very bitter, declaring
that the ship was not warned.
These conflicting reports. this German
official said, furnished the best reason
why America and Germany should
calmly await the facts.

Another able dispatch to the United

correspondent at Berlin was received
several hours before the foregoing

BERLIN (via The Hague), Aug. 22-
The German admiralty has received an
official report from the commander Of
the submarine that torpedoed the
Arabic.
The admiralty permitted this fact to
become known. but the character Of the
report was closely guarded secret
Neither admiralty officials nor persons
connected with the foreign office had the
slightest comment to make.
The first reports received here said
that all the passengers and members
Of the crew had been saved. This news
caused widespread rejoicing in Berlin
but shortly afterward word was re-
ceived that four Americans had lost
their lives, causing deep concern.
The Berlin newspapers almost without
exception have rcfrained from COM
ment. Their only advice to their readers
is to accept English reports OF the
sinking OF tho liner with the greatest
caution. pending the publication of an
official statement from the admiralty.

Act" Says Roosevelt,
Discussing the Arabic

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Col-
onel Roosevelt, in a state
ment said:
Il see it suggested in the pa
pers that the German answer
to our last note-that is, the
sinking Of the Arabic by a
German submarine and the
consequent murder of GER
tain American citizens, will
be adequately dealt, with by
the Administration dismiss
ing Ambassador Bernstorff
and severing diplomatic re-
lations with Germ my. I sim
cerely hope the Administra-
ton will not take this view,
for to do so would be a fresh
sacrifice of American honor
and interests"
Germany, he declared, would
care nothing for severance
of diplomatic relations, aid
that the time for deeds has
come. He said that, while
the Presidents note to Ger
many in February was cH
cellent, "if only it had been
lived up to- every subse-
quent note has represent
ed nothing but weakness

In a half-hour game the 1919 team

in the line and in different parts of the
backfeld with almost equal success.
The greater weight and more thorough
knowledge Of the game finally enabled
the first eleven 10 score on forward
pass, briggs TO Rahill, and again IN
fluke play by Lamberton.
The playing Of the new men is espe-
cially gratifying at this time, because
il gives the varsity another good team
against which to practise.

Columbia saw some real football yes
to-day when the varsity eleven lined

tearn in a half hours scrimmage on

within a dozen minutes. Late in the
scrimmage. after half dozen substi-
tutes had found places on the Columbia
lineup. the schoolboys scored once on
the Blue and White.
Although the Erasmus boys were
lighter than the college team, they had
little difficulty in opening up big holes
in their opponents line early in the
fray. but as the scrimmage wore on the
Columbia players gained in confidence,
and al the end presented solid wall
against which Erasmus could make lit

Miller ran the Morningside team
well. combining the Columbia attack 70
forward passes and end runs. No line
plays were attempted. The first Colum-
bia score was made by Miller on for
ward pass from Simonds on the Is
ward line. Simonds made the second
touchdown on a 90-yard run around
