SPEEDING UP
GAMES in ALL
Three LEAGUES
TBy Latest MALL

NEW YORK, n. Y.-The efforts be-

and the Federal League to speed up
the daily games is already beginning
to show results Complaints from the
cities represented in all three circuits,
first called the attention of the league
executives to the fans objections to
long drawn out contests and there was
immediate action on the part Of the
baseball authorities.
President Ban johnson of the Amer

must be consumed in playing games
and that several time-killing practises
must be discontinued. President Gil
more of the Federals took a similar
stand and intimated that he might Of
fer prizes in order to shorten the aver
age playing session. In the National
League the matter was also given
careful study and several plans con-
sidered to improve the conditions.
A study of the playing time figures
OF the three leagues discloses some in
teresting details. Using the April
contests as a basis it is shown that
the average in the American League
for from 10 to 10 contests is two
hours five and one-halt minutes. The
Federal League clubs under similar
conditions required two hours two and
minutes to play nine in.
nings, while the National League made
the best showing with an average of
one hour 52k minutes.
OF the individual clubs of the Am

led the organization with an average
of one hour 81 minutes. Boston and
New York followed with. averages five

LUSITANIA WAS
AN ENEMY SHIP,

their lives in the Lusitania have
themselves to blame. ss
Let US suppose you are working

it. You go and get hurt. Who is to

Mr.. Cullop agreed with the Germans
that Germany sank the Lusitania as a
retaliatory measure for the embargo
on foodstuffs as we'll as ordinary con-
traband consigned to Germany. HIS
principal argument, however, was sum-

forecasted so glibly by a GER
tain element of the extreme
partisan press is something
premature and out of place.
AS to the political effect Of
Bryan's move there are Just as
good reasons for thinking it
will help Wilson as to think it
will hurt him. 1t may streng-
then him immensely with the
people because the people
want a president to be the pres
iident and Woodrow Wilson is
meeting their wishes.
But the subject of the next
presidential election is a bridge
the people of America will
cross when they come to it. 1t
is not necessary to decide that
issue now because it is not be-
fore the people.
Furthermore those who try
to inject partisan politics into
the present situation show poor
taste and little patriotism. The
country is not conducting a po-
ilitical campaign at present. 1t
is face to face with an import
ant and serious international
controversy.
In the view of our president,
who is the brainiest, most cap
able and most conscientious
man in our public life today the
situation is such that this
country must assert itself in a
firm manner or sacrifice rights
guaranteed by international
law and for which rights our
forefathers fought in 1912.
With this before us there is
one course and one course only
open to loyal, red blooded Am
erican manhood. 1t consists
not in carping or in whining
but in faithful allegiance to
the United States government
through support of the national
administration.
The course taken by Presi-
dent Wilson does not necessar-
lily mean war. War is unlike.
ly. But the American people
have followed the sword in
days gone by and can do so
again if such is required for
the defense of our rights and
the principles for which we
stand.
Let the country stand to-
gether while this problem is
being disposed of. The presi-
dental campaign does not get
under way until a year from
next summer.

Compared with English, French lacks

wool was bringing low prices

and laid the alleged trouble at
the door of the new tariff.
If that tory journal desires
to discuss the subject from the
standpoint of the truth there
is good opportunity to do so.
The sale at Pilot Rock yester-
day showed prices much bet

secured basis coarse wool
brought 10 cents per pound
more than in 1914 and fine
wool five cents more per
pound. 1t was a very substan-
tial advance for coarse wool
and a good advance for fine
wool. incidentally the prices
are in excess of any prices pre-
vailing previously in eastern
Oregon in modern times.

CURRENT THINKING
SHIPS FOR THE TWO AMERICAS
(Sew York World.)

tAeW York World.)
The Pan-American Conference that
met yesterday in Washington differ
ed in one important respect from all
the so-called congresses that preced-
ed 1t. In the past. Latin America has
been suspicious Of North America,
and North America has been shock
ingly ignorant Of South America.
Representatives of the two continents
meet today on better terms than ever
before.
This is due in part to the circum-
stance Of European war, but in an i'm
portant way It Is a result of Presi-
dent Wilson's words and deeds. He is
known throughout the two Americas
as the man who has said that this
country does not coYet foot of land
belonging to any other. He is the
one champion today of neutral rights
that are as imprtant south Of the Is
thmus as north Of it,
When such magistrate recognizes
the fact that we must have means Of
communication with neighboring ma
tiOns, and, In spite Of temporary de-
feat, reaffirms his theory that II pri-
yate capital will not venture upon the
enterprise the government of the
United states must undertake it, he
exhibits faith and friendship that no
one can ignore. By our action in
that respect we will be judged for
many a year to come In Latin Amer
lea.
We have not taken the trouble to
learn the language of our neighbors.
We have not consulted their tastes
and needs in articles of consumption.
We have no system of credit, bank

put ships upon their routes. AS a
consequence, Europe has had their

1T IS UP TO GERMANY

n HE text of the last Ameri-
W can note to Germany,
published today, sets at
rest the notion that it is in the
nature of an ultimatum. The
note is a firm but friendly re-
assertion of the stand original
ly taken by this country. 1t
denies that the Lusitania was
armed and sailed from New
York under conditions that vio-
lated our laws. The German
government is asked to accept
this view or else show evidence
to justify a belief to the con-
trary. The good services Of the
United States are rendered if
it is desired by Germany that
this government aid in an at
tempt to bring about an i'm
provement in the character of
sea warfare waged by both
Great Britain and Germany.
The note as it should be is
positive in defense of American
rights but there is no tone of
jingoism about it. The matter
is put up to Germany so plain
ly that the German govern
ment must accept our point of
view with reference to the es-
sential points or else run con-
trary to her own treaties, to in
ternational law and to the plain
rights of humanity.
If trouble occurs between the
two countries over this subject
the fault will rest with Ger
many, not with the United
States.

trade and their sympathy. Now that
Europe by war has cut them off, 1t
is for us to decide, and to decide
quickly, whether we are to hold aloof
or to bind them to us by ties that
may never be broken.
If congress were in session today,
the ship-purchase bill that was stran-
gled last winter in the senate prOba-
bly, would pass. A steamship line be-
tween North and South America is as
urgently demanded at this time as
transcontinental railways or isthmian
canals ever were, and, like them, it
must be supplied by government
