UNCLE sam TO
STAND firm
That Is Only Word Coming From
State Department on Receipt
Of British Note.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.-The
United States probably will make no
reply for the present at least to either
the British or German notes, regard
ing respectively the use of the Ameri-
can flag on foreign vessels and dan
gers of neutral shipping in naval war
zone about the British Isles, but will
stand firmly on it's warning agains:
destruction of American lives. Many
officials who know the situation ex-
pect further move only in event of
an overt act.
To Be Examined.
This is indicated in high official
quarters after the official texts Of the
communications is read. The docu'
ments will be urther examined and it
will be determined whether anything,
if not answered, might be construed
as an admission. In case the note TO
Great Britain objecting to general use
of American flag by British vessels
and communication from England are
not regarded as altering original
warning OF the United States against
the measure of responsibility which
seems to be imposed on England, II
any American vessels or lives are
lost as result of such general practice,
although denial of any intention to
make frequent use of neutral ensign
is reasSuring.
The American government already
as pointed out, stated in emphatic Ian
guage that Germany be held to "strict
accountability" for any loss of Ameri-
ca1. vessels "or lives" This warning
is construed by administration Off
cials to be sufficiently broad also to
cover any injury of American citizens
aboard belligerent vessels.
In case the Wilhelmina is taken in
to prize court, the government will
await decision of court before enter
ing. into diplomatic correspondence
With Britain.
Renew cmp!aints.
Renewed complaints were made to
the state department on behalf of
German and Austre Hungarian en-
bassies, that submarine are being
built In the United States and shipped
in sections to Canada for re-shipment
to Entland. Bryan promised an Off
cial investigation.
Charles Schwab, president of Beth
lehem Steel Company, owner OF Unio.i
Iron Works, cancelled similar con-
tract with the British government
several months ago. it is understood,
after conference with Bryan, on the
theory that they constitute violation
Of neutrality laws.

BIG CROWD
Opens FAIR
Panama Exposition Has 250,000
Paid Admissions by After
noon; Frisco's Triumph.

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-The Pana-
ma Pacific International Exposition
formally opened at noon, Pacific coast
time. President Wilson, in the White
House, by touch o. button, completed
telegraphic circuit which automati-
acally worked relay key in the wireless
station at Tuckerton, N. J.
Instantly the powerful electric
waves leaped out across the CONT
nent. In fraction of second later
they were received on aerials above
the tower of Jewels, on Exposition
grounds. Another relay instrument
transmitted them to apparatus which
swung open the doors of the Palace
of Machinery and unloosed pent up
waters Of the Fountain of Energy and
detonated signal bombs in token of
receipt. .
To-day is the triumph, said Cover.
nor Johnson, "0f San Fran ;isco, that
0in0s years ago lay prostrated in
ruins" Secretary Lane, representing
the President, transmitted his greet
ings and in return an announcement
was sent him by telegraph that the
Expositi0 was open.
All records Of Exposition first days
attendances were shattered here.
Two hundred and twenty-five thous.
and admissions by four o'clock this
afternoon was recorded and it is ex-
pected by midnight to exceed $1,000.
The best previous was the St. Louis
fair with 10000.

London, Feb. 20.--A German sub
marine made its appearance in the
Irish sea this morning and torpedoed
without notice the British coasting
steamer CamDank, of 1000 tons reg
istcr. Three of the crew we're killed
and a fourth drawned while men were
taking to theboats. This incident is
only one connected with the German
submarine blockade Of the British
Isles reported during the day. 1t
came about the same time the Anglo
French fleets were b0nrbarding Dar-
danelles forts, and while the Russians,
according to Petrograd, we're admins
tering defeat to Germans at OssoWetz
in Poland, and driving them back to
thefrontier troops who attacked that
fortress.
Except for loss of life, the sinking
of the Ganlbank is not serious mat
ter but the presence of German sub
marine near route Of Atlantic liners
to and from Liverpool, along which
many steamers pass daily, is bound to
cause some uneasiness.
It is true this is not the first time
that hostile submarine have been in
these waters, but the last one to visit
them gave the crews of the three
ships she sank an opportunity to
leave the vessels before sinking them.
While the sinking of the Cambank
will raise no diplomatic problems, a
serious situation may arise from tor
pedoing of the Norwegian tanker at

Billy Sunday Has Converted $4,000 PhiIadelphians
In Weeks; But Some Doubt Value OF His Work

Philadelphia is now in the midst of
a ten weeks revival conducted by
Rev. BILLY" Sunday. With 25,O0O
converts to his credit, he is stirring
up the city as it has never been stir
red before, and he is stirring 1t up in
his own unique way. In his own
words, he does not know any more
about theology than jackrabbit does
about ping pong or golf" He has lit
tie respect for theology and church
members. "All the money I've ever
lost in my life Eve been skinned out
of by church members. Not by Chris
tians. Just church members" he
says.
"Sundayism" had its beginning
nearly three decades ago, when Sun
day, the l.all player, was converted in
Chicago, and stepped from the dia-
mond to tie revivalists platform.
His methods, his slangy and even
coarse talk nave made many enemies
for him. His revival in Philadelphia
has been such big success that New
York, Cleveland, Boston, Chicago and
many other cities are now trying to
get him. The following timely com.
ments cleaned from various sources
tells just what his admirers and enc.
mics think Of him.
One of the most bitter attacks on
Sunday and ''Sundyism" ever made
was that of Rev. David NJ Steele, of
the Church of St Luke and the Epi.
phany, Philadelphia. In signed art
icle he. declared that Sundays SER
mons feed mob rule His opinions in
part follow:
Il felt not so much disgusted as
distressed and disillusioned. ! was
saddened by the sacrosant imperti-
nence of those who piled a trade. j

sands who took it seriously. 1t was
the most calamitous misfortune that
has fallen this community.
"You, 1 mean you of one group, the
committee, do you realize at all what
you are doing in encouraging and
sanctioning the settling of questions
by the passion.prompted methods Of
the mob?
Il warn you y Of time
when, taught by you to feel instead
of think and act impulsively instead
of nationally, these same crowds shall
be swayed by self.seeking agitators.."

 BY THE BASEBALL MAGAZINE
Selections Made From Most Useful Players in Two
 Major Leagues.

he is particularly formidable in the pinch.
 Christy Afathewson, who has spent his life in the National league, and might most naturally prefer the bat ters in that circuit, once told me that Crawford was the hardest hitter he ever faced. There is profound Iunanimity of. opinion on this point among American league pitchers. Furtherrnore, Crawford is a true three hundred hitter. His final average may fall a shade below that figure this year. though no tmuch. Cravath- is not a true three hundred hitter and has passed that mark but once in his major league career
 With the utmost respect for Cra- vath's great showing, we are never theless led by a survey of all the facts to prefer Crawford.
 The pitching situation is easy. Alex ander and Johnson are the selection without a dissenting vote Two stars, each unrivaHed in his league, each superior to any other pitcher who could be brought against him.
 The National league has had the best catchers in the game for some years, and though the passing of Archer and the rise of Schalk give the American league 8 grand oppor- tunity, it is impossible to overlook the claims of Snyder.
 Snyder worked in one hundred and forty-four contests. He batted for an even three hundred He is ac- know1edged to be one of the greatest mechanical catchers the circuits have ever seen.
 If Sehalk with all his great ability can equal Snyder it is due to some nicetys of judgment or some mastery of baseball knowledge. which does not appear in the, records. From the story the figures tell us, and from the view of both men in action! we must prefer Snyder.
 Tt is a great thing to choose team made up of the leading stars in the game, said President Tener, of the National league, recently. "And yet a team of dubs might go out and de- feat them.''
 Perhaps. All things are possi bIe in baseball And yet, we would give considerably more than the price of "a b1eacher seat to see the team of dubs or of any other players who could go out and defeat this all star team.
