HOLD SUBS TO
NO SCORE TIE
With ROcI<ne and Jones YcarIings
Make Good ShOwiGg-Sccret
Practice for Varsity.

With Assistant Coach ROckne of the
varsity and Coach Jones OF the fresh
men in the yearling lineup. the first
year men held the second and third
string varsity athletes 10 a scoreless
tie in a long secret scrimmage on
Cartier field Tuesday afternoon.
While the greater part of the play
was in freshman territory, the varsity
second and third strings were unable
TO push the ball over the line for
touchdown. Twice they were within
close range of the goal. but fumbles
prevented scoring. On three other Oc-,
Casions forward passes failed to put
the ball over the line.
The freshmen put up a hard battle
against the varsity subs and gained
considerable ground on the old men.
Fumbles were frequent, and neither
side held the ball for any length OF
time The yearling line played the
same sort Of game that attracted the
attention OF the rOoters in the scrim-
mage last Thursday
Although Assistant Coach RocBne
and Freshman Coach Jones have not
been training, both of the former
Notre Dame stars put up classy games,
strong on the defensive and effective
on the offensive. At that they were
both out of position. ROckne, who
was formerly an end. was at right half
and Jones, formerly a tackle was at
fullback. Pearson, at quarter. also
played a good game for the fresh
men.
Coach Harper did not allow any of
his first string men in the game with
the youngsters. Instead, he ran them
through a hard signal drill. Two South
Bend boys, Voelkers and McInerny.
were on the first eleven in the signal
work. COfall was not out and Noel-
kers was used at his place at left half.
while McInerny filled Halmes' place
at tackle. The latter is still suffering
from an injury. King. a substitute
tackle, is also on the injured list.
The varsity will probably scrim-
mage the freshmen Thursday. but the
work will be done in secret. The
workouts will be behind closed gates
until further notice. according to
Coach Harper.
Assistant Coach Rockne was not
able TO get an especially good line on
the Haskell offense in the Indian game
against Illinois Saturday, as the abo-
rigines did not use a great variety OF

MEXICAN BANDITS
KILL AMERICANS
Two Victims OF a Raid Across
the Border.
TROOPS PURSUE MExiCANs
One of the MexIcans Is Killed, But
the Balance Escape-Three Ameri-
cans Had Been Kidnapped Near
Brownsville BY the Mexicans.

brownsville, Textile bulIet-riddled
bodies of two Americans who were
kidnapped by Mexican bandits, about
IL miles north of here. were found in
the bed of a dried lake.
They were Earl Donaldson, q farm
er, who came here from Fayette, Mo-,
two weeks ago, and an engineer named
Smith, engaged in concrete construc-
tion work on an irrigation canal.
In fight between a platoon of
United States infantry and 16 out
laws, one of the Mexicans was killed
and the rest of the band put to rout.
The fight occurred II miles north of
here. None of the Americans were
hurt.
The band to which was ascribed the
burning of trestle north of here was
held responsible for the kidnapping
OF three Americans and the burning of
pumping station. A contractor named
Stanley Dodds managed to make his
escape when the American troopers
appeared and fired on the Mexicans.
Dodds was said to have been un-
harmed by the outlaws because one
of the band told the others that Dodds
was a German. His hat and shoes,
however. were taken.
Dodds, on escaping from the kid
nappers. went to a ranch house, where
he telephoned regarding his safety. aa
The other Americans were carried
away by the Mexicans and their fate
was not Learned until their bodies were
found.
Lieutenant Faulkner, who COM
manded q detachment searching for
outlaw Mexicans, reported that the
automobile trucks bearing the Ameri-
cans were travelling along the old Alice.
stagecoach road, when, band was
seen. Called upon to halt. six of the
band showed fight, using an irrigation
canal as a trench, while 10 fed down
the canal. The five, after a short
fight, also escaped, leaving their dead
comrade
Following fight Aviation Lieuten-
ant Joseph c. Morrow, pilot, with Lieu
tenant B. @. Jones, observer, reported
that United States cavalry and infantry
there were well-disposed throughout
the section in which there were be-
lieved TO be from so to so Mexican
bandits. Further fighting was ex-
pected
At the Fresno Irrigation Canal. the
bandits fired probably score of shots
at Perry Clark, an American land clear
ing contractor, but none took effect.
A Mexican who saw and talked to
members of the band, said they were
trying to force the Mexican population
of this section to join them. All were
reported to be strangers in this sec
ton.

Anticipated In Berlin.

Berlin.-The German Admiralty ad.
vanced the suggestion that the sub
marine which may have torpedoed the
steamer Arabic possibly had foundered
or had been sunk by the British A
high official of the Admiralty, in again
declaring that absolutely no news on
the sinking of the Arabic was yet
available, said:
Would it not be lamentable if the
submarine should have been lost and
we should never learn what happened
soon after the Arabic sank? l said
we should in all probability have the
details by the end of August or early
in September at the latest. Most Of
our boats which were on the west
coast of England at the time have now
returned, but none so far knows any
thing about the Arabic.
1T probably will be possible within
a very short time-I cannot say pre-
cisely how many days-to tell whether
our apprehensions regarding the sub.
marine are correct"
The official would not say whether
one or more of the submarines in ques-
tion still were out nor how long any
one vessel had been away from it's
base, but stated suggestively:
"They seldom remain out longer
than three weeks and we usually get
a report on any torpedoing operations
fortnight after the occurrence"

U. S. TRUSTS
GERMAN PLEDGE
Officials Not Excited Over Sink
ing Of Hesperian.
ARE WAITING FOR FACTS
United States Did Not ASK For Nor
Did Germany Promise Aban-
donment OF Submarine
Warfare.

Washington. - Official Washington
failed to become excited when the
news Of the sinking of the Hesperian
by German submarine reached this
city.
Everybody realized that any attempt
to send this great liner or any other to
the bottom in violation of the rule, to
which Germany has so lately given as.
sent would be fraught with grave pos
sibilities. but all were confident that
when the full facts become known it
would be found that there had been no
deliberate violation of the pledge given
recently through Ambassador Won
Bernstorff.
1t must be remembered that no
agreement has been exacted Of Berlin
for an abandonment of Germany's sub
marine warfare. None has been asked
for. All the American Government
urged was an acceptance by the Ger
mans of the International law principle
that unarmed and unresisting mer-
chant ships be not sunk without warn
ing and without reasonable oppor-
tunity for noncombatants to save
themselves.
Washington Waits For Facts.
This is what Germany agreed to
do and what she insists she decided
upon even before the Arabic was tor
pedoed. A thorough knowledge of the
facts in the Hesperian case must be
had before the Administration will be-
lieve that the latest U boat victim was
attacked in violation of Germany's
pledge.
Germany has given no pledge that
she will withdraw her submarines from
the war zone or that she will sink no
more passenger ships. She has given,
however, unqualified assurances that
she will respect the rights Of neutrals
and noncombatants aboard ocean
liners. If she has done this in the case
OF the Hesperian the United States will
not make any move; If she has not.
and can show no good reason why she
has not, another crisis has been pre-
cipitated.
1t is simply unbelievable to the
Washington Government that Germany
would deliberately commit a breach of
faith at this time. That conviction is
the basis for the confidence that exists
IN official circles Any such breach
In the light Of the Bernstorff note. now
less than a week old, would utterly
outlaw Germany in the eyes of all
civilized peoples.

VICTORY FOR DIPLOMACY

Assurance From German Ambas-

would conduct her submarine warfare
in accordance with the principles of in
ternational law as construed and lai6
down in this Governments notes tC
Germany on that subject.
This concession practically ends the
German-American crisis.
The promise and guarantee of Ger
many are that she will not sink liners
without warning and without making
provision for the safety of the lives oi
noncombatants, If the liners do not try
to escape or offer resistance.
Secretary of State Lansing and off
cials close to the President regard the
concessions of Germany as "a recogni
ton of the fundamental principle fol
which we (the ADMINISTRATOR have
contended."
Won BERNSTORFF PRESENTS
PLEDGE.
The official statement of the attitude
OF Germany was conveyed in the fol
lowing letter from Count Won Bern,
storff, the German Ambassador, to Sec.
retary of State Lansing:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
With reference to our converse
ton of this morning, l beg to in
form you that my instructions con-
corning our answer to your last
Lusitania note contain the follow
's ing passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and
without safety of the lives of non
combatants, provided that the
liners do not try to escape or offer
resistance"
Although know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania ques-
ton till the Arabic incident has
been definitely and satisfactorily
settled. desire to inform you of
the above because this policy of
my Government was decided on
before the Arabic incident oc-
CURED.
have no objection to your MAX
ing any use you may please or the
above information.
remain, my dear Mr. Lansing,
Very sincerely yours,
]. BERNSTORFF.
Appended to the Ambassadors letter
as given out by Secretary Lansing was
the following statement by Mr.. Ian
sing:
In view of the clearness of the fore
going statement, it seems needless to
make any comment in regard to it,
other than to say that it appears to be
a recognition of the fundamental prin-
ciple for which we have contended.
Previous to fling his letter the Am
bassador had 15-minute conversation
with Mr.. Lansing at the State Depart
ment.
