HANS WAGNER BREAKS HIS
RULE AND Is INTERVIEWED

Interviews with Hans Wagner are
rare. He has the reputation of never
talking for publication, but he broke
the rule when the Baseball Magazine
got out special Wagner issue. Here
are some of the things Hans said him
self and he even gives the date of his
birth.

lived here, though the town wasn't
named Carnegie then. 1t was called
Mansfield when ] first saw it, but; as
1t was great mining and milling
place, Mr.. Carnegie had considerable
reputation hereabouts, and the citi-
gems decided to rename it for him. 1
guess the old town hasn't suffered any
from the change.
IL was born three or four blocks
from where / now live, and had four
brothers and one sister. Ny brothers
were, in the order of their age,
Charles, Al, Louis, myself and Bill !
had also sister, Carrie, now Mrs.
Gallagher. Carrie was younger than

baby of the family.
Charles and Bill took up the bar
ber's trade One of them lives in
Ohio and one in Pennsylvania, though
not in Carnegie. My brother AL works
for the Pittsburg Club. i also work
for the Pittsburg Club. Lou makes
living here in Carnegie.
None of us is married. The three

here in Carnegie and learned few
things. Then had to go to work. It
is mining country here and the coal
mines are what they call surface
mines. That is, they don't sink a
shaft as they do in some parts, but
work into side hill from the surface.
I was coal miner for about year.
Il didn't do any breaker work like
some of the other ball players, who
have started that way. ! was pretty
husky for my age, and did general
work in the mine for pay. 1t was

sengers of the Eastland have regis
tered as saved, it was thought that
about ATS survivors, in addition to
the crew of 72, had failed to report.
About three-score bodies were re-
covered from the wreck before dark
tonight, but after that divers discov-
cred only one corpse before they quit
work for the night.
There was much confusion in the
totaling of bodies recovered, owing
/ to the Implications and removals. AS
a result all sorts of estimates were
scattered about the city, with guesses
from 1900 to $500, but officers in
charge of clearing the wreck have
been unable to tabulate more than
the 901 bodies listed.
The morgue was cleared tonight
of all but score of corpses, all 9TH
er victims having been identified.
Investigations to determine re-
sponsibility for the calamity will be
under way tomorrow in a dozen
quarters. City and county officials
were unanimous in declaring that
some blame rested with Federal in
spectors, alleging they permitted the
steamer to operate while unsafe.

sures if unable to conduct them
without injuring the lives Of neu-
trails" the note declares that per.
sistence in such measures under the
circumstances would constitute an
objectionable offense against the
sovereignty of the neutral nation
affected.
The United States, it is asserted
further, is not unmindful of the
extraordinary conditions" brought
about by the present war, and is
ready to make every reasonable al
lowance for these novel and unex-
pected aspects of war at sea, but
cannot consent TO abate any es-
sential or fundamental right of its
people because of mere alteration
of circumstances"
The note says that events of the
last two months clearly indicate that
it is possible and practical" to con-
duct submarine operations in sub
stantial accord with the accepted
practices of regulated warfare" !"
The comment is added that the
whole world has looked with inter-
est and increasing satisfaction at
the demonstration of that fact by
German naval commanders. and that
it is "manifestly possible to lift the
whole practice of submarine attack
above the criticism which it has
aroused and remove the chief causes
of offense."

UNITED STATES TO GERMANY.
Firm IN Demanding Respect for
American Rights at Sea.

Washington, July 29::-The Amer
lean note on submarine warfare pre-.
sented at Berlin today by Ambassa-
dor Gerard was made public here
tonight. 1t reveals that Germany
has been informed it is the intention
of the United States to regard as
deliberately unfriendly' any repe-
tition by German naval commanders
of acts in contravention of Ameri-
can rights. The United States an
nounces it will continue to contend
for the freedom of the seas, from
whatever quarter violated, without
compromise and at any COST"
In official and diplomatic quarters
the communication was viewed as
the strongest and most emphatic
pronouncement by the Washington
Government since the beginning of
its correspondence with the Euro
pean belligerents.
On the assumption that Germany
already has admitted the illegality
of her practices by attempting to
Justify them as retaliatory moves
against Great Britain, the United
States expresses the belief that Ger
many no longer will refrain from
disavowing the wanton act of its
naval commander in sinking the
|Lusitania or from offering repara-
ftion for the American lives lost, so
far as reparatlon can be made for a
needless destruction of human life
by an illegal act"
Referring to the German express
ion of hope in its last note that the
freedom of the seas may be estab'
lished in some measure before the
end of the war the United States
declares this object can be accom-.
plished and invites the practical CO.
operation of Germany. The Ameri.
can Government adds, moreover,
that it holds itself ready at any
time to act as the common friend
who may be privileged to suggest 6
way" to assist in establishing the
freedom of the seas.
The Germany note of July 8 is
declared very unsatisfactory be-
cause it fails to meet the real differ.
ences between the two Governments
and indicates no way in which the
accepted principles of law and hu'
manity may be applied in the grave
matter in controversy but proposes
on the contrary arrangements for a
partial suspension of those principles
which virtually set them aside"
Contending that "the defense of
an act as retaliatory is an admission
that it is illegal" the United States
then argues that it cannot discuss
actions of Great Britain with Ger.
many and it regards as Irrelevant
in the present negotiations mention
of the conduct of other belligerents.
illegal and inhuman acts" says
the note, however justifable they
may be thought against an enemy
who is believed to have acted in con-
prevention of law and humanity, are
manifestly indefensible when they
deprive neutrals of their acknowl,
edged rights, particularly when they
violate the right of life itself"
