THINKS OLD BALL PARK
GOOD FOR SKATING RINK

Since Flat river is considered un-
safe as a skating place in winter, on
account of its depths, Secretary Gun
solus of the board of commerce has
conceived the idea of flooding the old
base ball park on Kenwood avenue
to a depth of six to twelve inches and
thus providing safe place for the
youth of the city to skate. Mr.. Gun
solus says a bank can be thrown
around the edge of the park and
plenty of water secured from the
flowing we'll The place would be
easily accessible to the city and could
probably be used for this purpose, to
the advantage and safety of every
one.
The Banner is glad to voice appro-
val Of the project, if it can be worked
out and conducted as public bene-
fit. The thoughtfulness of Mr.. Gun
solus in planning in advance for the
safety of the city's youth in this
healthful sport is certainly commend
able. The matter will probably meet
with the approval of the council.

possessed before the ninth year. His
parents do not consider his a prodigy
but attribute his attainments to the
careful training given by his mother,
his lessons being presented and per-

CABINET To TAKE
UP SUB QUESTION
Will Discuss the Sinking of An
coma at Meeting on
Friday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE sub
marine question, especially as it af-
fects the United States through the
torpedoing and sinking of the Italian
liner Ancona by an undersea boat fly
ing Austrian colors with a certain loss
of American lives will be considered
by Pres't Wilson and his cabinet to-
morrow. 1t is expected by Secy of
State Lansing that by that time
enough of the facts will be known to
determine whether this country has
grounds for peremptory demands on
Austria to disavow the action of her
submarine commander.
In addition to the Ancona case, it
is likely that at tOmorrOw's confer
ence, the first cabinet meeting in
months, affairs Of the state depart
ment will mOnopolize attention. The
British attitude toward Americans and
the suggestions of Ambassador Won
Bernstorff regarding the.status of the
Lusitania were to have been considered
and, it is still believed there will be
time enough to discuss them generally.
So far as the AncOna is concerned.
it was made very plain at both the
state department and the white house
today that this government is main
tanning an open mind regarding the
questions involved.
The reports received from Ambass-
ador Page up to the present are along
the lines covered by the press dis
patches and thrown no new light on
the Austrian claim that the liner was
trying TO escape and that she was
shelled only after demands that she
surrender were disregarded.
No Denial Received.
The Italian denial Of this contention
has not yet reached Washington.
Continued efforts to escape by
flight" were cited by the state de-
partment in its note of July to Ger
many as one of the very few things
under international law that would
justify the sinking of a merchantmen
in manner where the lives of pas
sengers and crew would forfeit. Am
bassador Page has been directed TO
ascertain whether in this case the An
coma disregarded orders to heaVe to
for the purpose Of visitation and
search. He will secure affidavits from
all Americans who survive as well as
the complete reports received by the
Italian admiralty which will be sent
TO this country Immediately. 1t is
expected that the summaries of all
affidavits Will be rushed through by
cable, but owing TO the demands on
the Italian cable considerable delay is
expected before a complete report will
be In the hands of Sec'y Lansing.
Pres't Wilson is receiving personally
copies Of all messages dealing with
the Ancona. Officials of the Austrian
embassy, while declining to make any
statements for publication, point out
that the official report Of the Italian
emigration commissioner says that
100 shells were fired and that the
BON bardment continued for two
hours" They insist that this conclu-
sively proves that the liner had re-
fused to surrender and that under
those circumstances the submarine
commander was perfectly within his
rights under international law in sink
ing the vessel.
