WASHINGTON, May 17.-Germany
received the Wilson protest against
submarine war. as applied to mer-
chant vessels, in the most friendly
way.
Her foreign ministers treated AM
bassador Gerard with the utmost
courtesy and consideration when he
read the American position, as set
forth by the President. He promised
that the note would have the most
careful consideration and that a reply
would be made without delay.
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, report
ed this TO Secretary Bryan today. He
emphasized the friendliness of his recep.
tion. Whether he intimated, however
what he expected the outcome to be
Secretary Bryan refused 10 say. He
refused also to discuss the Gerard re-
port in any way. Nevertheless his at
titude showed he was in far more
hopeful frame of mind than at any pre-
vious time since the Lusitania was sunk
Whether OF not there was any connec
tion between the two circumstances il
was considered significant, too, that th,
secretary made public, almost in tbs
same breath with the Gerard announce
ment, the names of the men who are e

arise with Great Britain, Norway, PERI
and Bolivia.

foe ATTEMPTS TO
Damage SHIPPING
BY The United Press.

LONDON, May 17.-Twenty bombs
were dropped, iniuring three persons,
but doing slight property damage, in
a midnight raid along the English
coast by two zeppelins. The bombs
were dropped at Ramsgate. The diri-
gibles passed over Margate and Dover
without throwing any explosives.
The Zeppelin that attacked Rams
gate, 81 miles east, southeast OF Lon
don, evidently was bent on the de-
struction of shipping lying near the
Goodwin Sands, off the Downs. 1t

open its attack until it reached Rams
gate.
One bomb crashed through the roof
of the Bull and Bear Hotel in Rams
gate. Three guests we're injured
and the building partially destroyed
by fire. Another bomb partially wreck
ed a shop in Albion Hill and two 9TH
ers exploded harmlessly in the city
park.
The Zeppelin that passed over Do
yer dropped no bombs on the city.
Shippers of vessels lying in harbor,
said they believed several bombs were
tossed at their vessels, but none of
them reached the mark.
Excitement over the Zeppelin raid
was heightened when Cardiff
steamer arrived off the Downs, at 3
o'clock, with word that five Zeppelins
we're heading toward the coast. The
entire population of Deal was aroused
and crowded the streets to await the
enemy airships. Shopkeepers placed
tables in the streets and did rush
ing business in tea and cigarettes
until daylight. The Zeppelin feet
failed TO appear

Ferguson, one of the greatest that ever

Ferguson The three greatest base rum
ners were Ward, Tlernan and Fergu-

and Ferguson. Ferguson used to say
that he was a better catcher than he
was a pitcher and he could play any
position on the infeld or outfeld as well
as he could the battery points. If any

GOLF REGISTER LATEST IDEA FOR
DEVOTEES HALTED BY ELENEN7

Unlike all the other notables of our
broad land, the weatherman is not a
golfer Or else he's 3Sd degree enthusi-
ast and likes to play in this kind of
weather. Between the wind and heat and
rain, local golfers have had to work the
virtue concentration to the limit
But there's way of slipping past the
weatherman, The new way will make a
hit. 1t is possible to play 72 or more holes

bunkers, no cussing, no delay, no walk
Ing, just shots-sweet and serene, one
| after tother. All one needs to play the
new way is 2OO-horsepower imagina-
| tion.
Get busy some day when the elements
are too many. Buy a golf-shot register
| at any corner store. Take 1t home, roll
up the parlor rug and nail 1t down to
the hardwood floor with long and sticky
! spikes. Then go back to the store and
buy some cork indoor golf balls. Take
EN- home and then go to the club and
get the necessary clubs. Bring 'em home.
Hitched to the register will be found a
golf ball. Be sure the rope won't break
and that everything Is nailed fast. Now
the imagination part comes in
The golfer stands on the first tee at the
home links. The green is 465 yards away.
All is green and nifty. Just then swat
the pill with the driver. Look at the
register. No doubt 1t says 800 yards.
Good! Now shoot a brasse; 1s1 yards,
