BASEBA NE TO START
 SUNDAY

The 1915 baseball season will be opened at Treadwell when the Juneau baseball team will meet tho Island aggregation of ball tossers on the Treadwell grounds That was the m. nouncement of Manager Tom Radon ich today The games win be follow cd by games at Juneau Wednesday evening and next Sunday
 The details of the seasons baseball campaign have not been arranged yet but tho negotiations are well under way and, 1t is said. conclusions will soon be reached.
 More Baeebsll This Year
 One Of Che things that has been practically decided uponi however, Is that there win be more baseball this year than heretofore In fact, the number to be playel will depend a great deal on the weather. It is pro posed. tho weather permitting, to play two or three games every week and possibly 30 or 40 or more games dur ing the season.
 Manager Radonich was not pre- pared today to give his line up for Sundays game but it is known that Walter Ford, the leading pennant win- ming finger of last season. will be in the box for Juneau and that Carl Ke- au. hastening north from Seattle on trn NIat.nlte t,sfi f .lt.... .frt.i f1t. nnfstr station.
 It would not be a bad guess to place Haley on first base, and to complete the Juneau inneld with Ross Hurlbutt and Callan, and Co place Welch, Cloudy and Granger in tho pasture. However. there are other players on the Juneau team, and any of them might be used These include Fry as a pitcher and Momb. Wilson and Me- Niyens. all of whom. except Momb played with Juneau last year

MAY BE INCLUDED IN
 KINZIE DEAL

The association of Robert A. Kin. zie. formerly superintendent of tho Trcadwell and Alusla-Juneau mines. with the people who have financed the Noble propects is believed to mean that there has been consolidation of these properties and the Ebner, and an agreement of some sort be- tween the United States Smelling and Refining company and those who have financed the other projects.
 It is known that negotiations look ing up to that end were under way. and the withdrawal of all obstacles by stock and bondholders and others inc terested in the foreclosure of the United States Smelling and Refining companys lien for money expended in development work during the last two years on the Ebner is regarded as an indication that the negotiations were fruitful in results. The further fact that it was announced a short time ago that the United States Smelling and Refining company would expend more money in developing the Ebner is taken as further evidence of the peaceful solution of the entanglements that were threatened during the win ter and early spring, which it was feared for a time might cause the Eb- ner to be tied up for period.
 The United States Smelling and Re- Aning company had an option at one time on most of the properties ln- volved in the consolidation by the peo- pie who are said to have secured the services of Mir Kinzie, and 1t is pro- posed to develop them after taking over the Ebner if the development work on that property should disclose values that would induce the pur- chase.
 However. when the United States Smelling and Refining company decid- ed to release Its option on the Ebner, and asked for the return Of the mon ey taht had been expended on 1t, those interested In the Mt. Juneau properties began organizing for the purpose of developing them. It was stated when George R. Noble was at Juneau recently that they had secured the necessary backing About the same timo it was stated that negotia- lions were under way for the settle ment Of the differences between the United States Smelling and Refining

 COMPREHENSIVE

WASHINGTON. May l4.-The note of President Woodrow Wilson to Ger many thougs couched in polite and diplomatic language, lived up Go the advance notices as Co plainness and strength and the demand for action. The position Of the United States on the series of events which the Amer ican government has observed with growing distress. concern and amaze ment. is made clear. and almost a threat is contained in the final declar- auon that "the Imperial government will not expect the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance Of it's sacred duty in maintaining the rights Of the United States and Of its citizens and Of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment"
 Expects Acts, Not Promises.
 That the United States expects acts and not promises and apologies is clearly set forth. the President saying that expressions Of regret and oners of reparation for the destruction Of neutral ships sunk by mistake while they may satisfy international ooliga- tions. if no loss of life results. cannot justify or excuse practice, the nat ural and necessary effect of which is to subject neutral nations and neu- trai persons Co new immeQsuroble risks"
 Review eermany's "Uniawu" Acts.
 AS set forth in former dispatches the note reviews the acts which the United States regards as unlawful in- cluding the declaration of war zone in which the commerce of neutrals has been unsafe from attack. Stress is laid upon the destruction Of the Fa- laba. Gulnight and Lusitania. in all of which Americans lost lives. and the aerial attack upon the Cushing. The President says that these consti- tute a series Of events which the American government has observed with growing distress and concern and amazement.
 The President says that these acts are so clearly in violation of all the rules of international law and civili- zation that the United States cannot believe chat they have the counte- nance of the German government '
 Must Not Do It Again.
 In polite words the President says it is impossible for Germany Go make full reparation for these acts. but that the United States expects the Im- periai government to disavow them. make reparation as far as possible for them. and take immediate steps to prevent a recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles of warfare. wor which the Imperial German government in the past so

WASHTNGTON. Mav ].

WASH1NG GION, May l4. = The administration has not decided what it will do in case Germany defes the United States. The Presi- dent is now considering that phase of the question. The President regards the situa tion as very grave, and he is waiting for Germany to speak, with apprehension but resolution and courage.
 It is said that he leans to- ward breaking diplomatic relations at once as a means of showing Germany that he is absolutely in earnest.
 DIPLOMATS CRAVE.
 Diplomatic representa- tives of foreign countries are watching the situation gravely, though they are dis posed to be optimistic They say Germany would consid- CT long befcce assuming the responsibility of breaking with the United States, the Nation which dominates the Western Hemisphere.
 NAVY READY.
 It is pointed out by those who are considering the pos sibilty of war that the Unit ed States navy was never so well prepared for action as now. The Atlantic feet is mobilized at New York; it's personnel is complete; it's bunkers filled with fuel and its magazines are cranmed with ammunition.
