CHATTER ON THE BASEBALL

College baseball captains of the presen

more or less choice line OF talk from
young men who are keyed to high ner-
vous tension. Even worse is the banter
that is showered upon the players of the
opposing team in an effort to discomfort
them. Clean, fast baseball without these
side lines is bound to appeal to the aver
age person who care for old-fashioned
sport, and the introduction of the side
lines of professional ball players is de-
cidedly disquieting. 1t is ridiculous,
moreover, to hear eight men chatter away
to the pitcher, Were here; we're back
of you, old scout" and then see an easy
batted ball slip through the hands of any
one of the eight. All the previous chat

THE AMERICAN NOTE; WHY DID
BRYAN RUM

If Bryan could not consistently will
his conscience sign the American note o
June 8 concerning German submarin,
warfare on peaceful commerce ships, theI
he ought never to have signed the Amer
lean note of May 10, for the note of the
later date is practically identical with
that of the earlier date The statemen!
just submitted to Germany is, in reality
but repetition, or reiteration of the
position of the United States. Yet Bry-
an attached his signature to the former
exposition and baked at doing the same
for the other, leaving that task for an ad
interim appointec to the state depart
ment position, Robert Lansing, the for
mer counsellor. BY such two actions
Bryan committed himself to definite
policy and then swiftly but not silently
withdrew from that position. In short,
he backed and filed in a way not worthy
of man who wished to be known as a
statesman.
However, the note has gone along to
Berlin supported by almost the united
sentiment of the people of the United
States who have read its contents or tax
en- an accurate Interpretation from those
that have read it. Moreover, a careful
reading of the note does not reveal any
part that is wild clamor for war, nor
does it reveal any indication that Presi-
dent Wilson is erideavoring to incur the
enmity of Germany and the German PEG
pie. Far from including those features
which one was led to expect through the
hurried departure of Bryan from the sec
rotary of states position might be in
corporated in the note, the statement Isl
clear, calm, judicial and friendly ex-
preston of the conviction of the Amer
lean government that Germany has vio-
ls ted some of the rules of international
warfare and at the same time shocked
civilization, coupled with the request for
assurance that the German government
will forbear to continue in those meth
DDS. There is nothing really ingoish in
the whole statement; rather there is a
leaning to the hope that the German gov
eminent will see its way clear to acques-
cence with the American government in

The frequency with which British ships

British people that the alarm over the

sions, the origin of which remains mys-
terry even as it was a mystery at the
time of the occurrence

NEW NAVY GUN A SUCCESS.
More Powerful Than Queen EIizabeth's $
15-Inch 'TerTors."

guns has been tested at the Indian
Head proving grolnCs L is fifty cal
ibers long. live caIibeTs longer than
any of the 14-inch guns "a. present in
use in the navy.
Il is believed that it has greater
muzzle velocity than any ether 14-iuch
navy gun, and is o more powerful gun
than the 15-inch gun on the Queen
Elizabeth OF the British navy Instead
Of making a model gun, the Bureau Of
Ordnance was so positive thar the
plans for the new gun would stand the
required test that the entire thirty-six
guns which ar to go on the Califor-
MIA, Idaho and Mississippi were or

PLAN NEW BATTLESHIPS
WITH LONGER GUN RANGE.
Pieces to be Elevated 80 Degrees
Double the Angle of Other Ships.

Future battleships of the United
States will be equipped to fight at a
longer range than was regarded as
practical before the European war:
In line with this change of construc-
ton it has just been decided by the
Navy Department to give the guns on
the battleships now under construction
an elevation Of thirty degrees, or dou-
BILE the angle of fire of the older ships
It is believed that the increased ele-
vation Will be particularly beneficial
in rough weather. Reports on the
lighting in the North Sea and near the
Falkland Islands. where the long
range shooting was resorted to with
surprising success, have led American
naval constructors to consider plans
for increasing the thickness of deck
armOr on the new battleships.
Owing to the curvature of the ira
jectory of projectiles fired at long
range the missiles are more likely to
land on the decks than against the
sides of the ship. The constructors
are met with the necessity, however,
of either reducing the armor on the
sides or enlarging the battelship if
heavier armor is to be placed on the
decks. The width of the Panama Ca
nal forbids a meteridl increase in the
beam of battleships, and hence any in
crease in size muse be obtained by ad-
ding to the length of the vessel.

WILL TAKE CHARGE OF HAITI.
United States Navy VIII Administer Its
Customs Funds.

That the United States intends to
take over the collection and and ad-
ministration of the customs funds of
Haiti. whether the proposed treaty is
ratified or not, became apparent Sat
Irday when it was announced that the
American marines are to be organized
into a constabulary.
This force will be utilized for the
preservation of law and order and for
the protection of United States officers
placed in charge Of the custom houses.
The State Department was careful TO
explain that this action will be taken
with the consent of the present Hal
tian Government, and under an agree
ment, which might be called a mOdus
yiVendi, made by Admiral Caperton
with President d'Artiguenave.
Owing to conditions in the interior
a number oe the marines will have to
be mcdnted but this will not be a new
experience to a considerable number
of the men of this arm of the service
For several months the marines on
duty at the Naval Academy barracks
have been drilling on horseback and
taking riding Lessons that have fitted
them as expert horsemen for just such
emergencies as this. Horses will be
forwarded at once if proper mounts
cannot be obtained on the island.
Official announcement was made OF
Saturday that the administration Of
affairs in Haiti for the presents at least
Will be under the Navy Department
which controls the constatulary in the
Philippines. When definite arrange
ments are made after the pending
treaty IS ratified the navy will be re
lieyed of this duty.
Admiral Caperton has roported that
quiet generally eyists throughout Haiti
and that one grcap of natives in the
interior has given up it's arms.
