CHAPTER TX.
Fair WarnIno,

AIT " VusUSs
It was much more than a map of
the metropolis that Toye carried in his
able head. He knew the right places
for the right things. He gazed criti-
cally 1T his boots. He was not so
dead sure that he had struck the only
man for boots. There had been 4
young fellow aboard the Kaiser Fritz,
quite little bit Of military blood,
who had come ashore in pair Of
cloth tops that had rather unsettled
Mr. Toye's mind Just on chat ono
point.
Captain Aylmer had said he would
like to have Tove see his club any
time he was passing and cared to look
In for lunch. He had said SO as
though he would like it great deal,
and suddenly Toye had mind to take
him at his word right now. The idea
began with those boots with cloth tops,
but that was not all there was to it;
there was something else that had
been at the back of Toye's mind all
morning, and now took charge in
front.
Aylmer had talked some about job
in the war office that enabled him to
lunch daily at the Rag; but what his
job had been aboard German steam
er Toye did not know and was not the
man to inquire. It was no business OF
his, anyway. Reference to a card,
traded for his own in Southampton
Water, and duly filed in his cigarette
case reminded him Of the Rags prop
er style and title. And there he was
eventually entertained to sound,
workmanlike, rather expeditions meal.
"Say, did you sec the cemetery at
Genoa?" suddenly inquired the Wis
itor on their way back through the
hall. A martial bust had been ad-
mired extravagantly before the ques-
ton.
"Never want to see it again, or &C.
noa either" said Captain Aylmer.
"The smoking-room's this way"
did you say you were there two
days?" Toye was cutting his cigar as
though it were a corn.
1.-TWO whole days, and we'd had a
night in the Bay of Naples just be-
FORE"
'1s that so? I only came aboard at
Genoa. l guess I was wise," added
Toye, as though he was thinking of
something else. There was no sort
OF feeling in his voice. but he was
sucking his left thumb.
II say, you've cut yourself!'
IT guess it's nothing. Knife too
sharp; please don't worry, Captain
Aylmer. I was going to say only got
on at Genoa, and they couldn't give
me a room to myself. I had to go in
with Cazalet; that's how saw SO
much of him."
It was Toye's third and separate in
dependent attempt to introduce the

WASHINGTON AWAITS REPLY FROM GERMANY Air of Confidence Prevails
 Throughout Official Circles.

Washington, June 12.-Oficial Washington today seemed to have set tied down, with an air of confidence to await Germany's, reply to President Wilson's latest note.i The president himself went off to golf on his regular weekend recreation and many cab met members were out of the city. There was a marked relaxation in the tension that pervaded official circles during the preparation of the note and that accompanied former Secre- tary Bryan's resignation.
 Throughout official quarters there was an optimistic feeling that the United States in it's firm yet friendly reiteration that Germany conform to principles of humanity and interna- tional law, had opened the way for Berlin to continue peaceful relations.
 No reply is expected for probably two weeks, the general understanding being that Berlin will await the ar rival of Anton Meyer Gerhard, special emissary from Count Von Bernstorff. the German ambassador.
 Despatches coming direct from Ber- lin said that some quarters in Ser lin regarded the note as more con- ci1iatory than cable despatches had indicated. On the other hand, des- patches received by way of London said that German opinion was unani- mously against granting the American demands for assurances that Ameri- can ships and lives would not be en- dangered by submarine warfare Word from Ambassador Gerard, it was hoped, could establish the facts as between these conflicting views.
 On the new note to Great Britain, which is to go forward in the near fu- ture, there were no official comments today. Secretary Lansing said he could not discuss it.

HANNA OUT TODAY FOR
 TAUNTON'S FRANCHISE
Expects to Put New Britain
 Back on Baseball Map.

i Within the next few days the official announcement that New | Britain is again on the baseball ma '
 may be expected. William w. Hanna 1 the leading sportsman or the oity, in | talk with a Herald reporter today intimated that he was hot on the trail l of the Taunton franchise in the Colonial league and left this city tthis
 afternoon on a mysterious trip pre-
 sdmably to try and close the deal
 Within the past few weeks, the at
 tendance in the Bay State city has
 been dwingling and after the game of !, Friday, when Pawtucket and Taunton
 met, the necessity of moving the fran
 chise to another city became apparent
 to the owners of the club.
 At the beginning of the season the
 sporting editor of the Herald wrote
 to Secretary Ward of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
 head of the league, asking him to con slider this city in the event of a change of cities in it's makeup. The long trips which sooner or later are to prove a detriment to the coffers of the managers were pictured out. Tn the reply Secretary Ward assured the Herald man that in the event of a change this city would be considered. With the taking in of this city to the league it will be of a material benefit to the club owners as the jumps will be- greatly lessened, thereby saving snl enormous expenditure of money fer railroad fares.
 To many it may seem that after the experiences of last year under the Seinski regime the game here is de ad issue, but this should not be ac- cepted as criterion. Poor manage ment and an inferior club are con- ditions that no city, no matter how enthusiastic the fans are will endure for very long period.
 A club managed by Mir. Hanna would, without doubt, prove to be a success. He has had a varied career jin sports of all nature. and the fans no doubt remember his last 1 year as manager of local club, when i he succeeded in bringing to this city | such stars as Marsans. Almeida. Ca brera and Padron from the Isle of I Cuba, and who afterward were her I aided as the greatest assets to the [ game ever turned out by a minor | league manager.
 2 If the Taunton management decides Co come to this city it will bring with it fast club. Throughout the season ! ls has kept in the first division and \ fans from this city who attended the games which it played against Jim Tip Tops or Hartford were unanimously strong in their of the makeup of the team.
 The games will be played at Elec- tric field. of which MT. Hanna is the lsasee. The grounds are in fairly zood condition at the present time

and Order. &g t
 Washington, June 12.-General Car ranza has issued a proclamation at Vera Cruez making bid for recog. milton by the United States. Ameri- can Consul Silliman telegraphed it's text to the state department today. ,-
 What effect, if any. it will have on President Wilson's Mexican policy can cnly be conjectured. A statement by General Villa, already received in Washington, is expected to be laid be- fore the president before Monday.
 Appeals to Other Factions. ! Carranza's proclamation calls on the other factions to affiliate with his government, and claims that he now controls nine-tenths of the population and seven-eighths of the territory of Mexico. re ,..
 ''One of the greatest difficulties in the matter of foreign policy" Car range says, has been lack of under standing of other governments, par ticularIy the United States Lays Down Principles.
 In his proclamation Carranza lays down the following principles obvious ly to learn how the Washington gov- ernment regards them:
 Guaranty to foreigners of the rights to which they are entitled under the laws of Mexico, as to life, liberty and property.
 Indemnity for property damaged Curing the revolution on u Just and fair basis.
 tRestoration of peace and order"
 No Confiscation Allowed
 In the settlement of the agrarian problem there should be no confis- cation. There should be an equit- able distribution of the lands the gov ernment now possesses. Property il- legally possessed should be restored to rightful owners !;
 The department of public educa- tion should be extended to all parts of the country.
 Proposes National Congress.
 A national congress should be called to provide for the election of a president. The first chief of the con- stitutionalists will deliver over exe- cutive authority to whomsoever shall be so elected. .5@
