s,,eculation at the Outcome.

SpGCuIdIIOH dI Lie S0SSSihS'
Speculation as to the outcome is, OF
course, speculation, pure and simple.
German embassy officials who were
furnished a copy Of the note last night
as a matter of courtesy, were close
mouthed today. Privately and very
frankly, they said they dared not
hazard a guess how the note will be
received in Germany. In confidence
some of the most important Of them
express the hope that the note will be
received in the same friendly way as
previous communications. They ex-
plain that they see no good that could
possibly come to Germany by incur
ring Americas enmity at time when
nearly the entire world seems aligned
against her. They admit that the
military party will oppose any change
in the kaiser's submarine policy, but
whether that party will be able to
swing the kaiser over to their way of
thinking, they are at a loss to say.
Ultimate decision will be his, they
said. and they emphasized the fact as
did American officials, that he has
long been the friend Of the United
States.
Although the president met with
the cabinet in regular session today,
It was stated in advance that there
would be only a general reference to
the German situation. 1t Is now up to
Germany and until that government
has arrived at decision, there is
nothing that the United States can
do.
No War Preparations.
There will be no war preparation.
Firstly, the president personally
hopes that the German government is
as anxious as is the United States to
maintain friendly relations.
Secondly,-and, despite the many
stories current, this is the exact
truth-the administration has not de-
cjded Just what the next step must
be. should Germany defy this country.
The president is considering this
question. He leans toward the sug-
gestion that to break diplomatic rela-
tions would be the most emphatic way
of convincing Germany that he is in
earnest. He has been told, however,
by men who should know, that under
present conditions with world at
war. such a breaking must be consfd-
cred. prelude to hostilities and If he
goes so far he might as well go the
limit and accompany the break with
a call for a special session of congress
to authorize the use of the army and
navy.
Therefore it Is unlikely that there
can be any Immediately decision by
the president on the next step. He

Navy TO NCaUys
One thing that was emphasized
both at the war and navy depart
ments, was that no efforts were being
made to get either branch of the serv-
ice on a war footing. The navy is
obviously far better prepared for en-
ergencies than usual In that the ~
lantic fleet Is mobilized at New York
with complete personnel, with bunk

 RAY, July l9-Nainly due to the baseball head of Manager Hester in shooting hitters to the platform when their tangible product in singles and doubles, etc. was most needed the league. by defeating tn Mill to z in eleven innings yesteroay.
 The game was played on the Ray grounds, and was one of the best and hardest fought seen here since the league started.
 Nick Demaggio pounded across the rubber in the eleventh, scoring on Pendleton's two-bagger.
 An early lead practically iced the game for the visitors until Hester got his head working and organized an attack on his former Phoenix twirler Red Toner. Toner was displaying heady game, but the hits were being acquired at intervals. Demaggio, Ra- mage, Driscoll and Pendleton handled the heavy sticks for the locals, while Zamloch. the former Albuquerque pitcher pushed over two singles and two doubles out of five trips to the plate Tenant, a pinch hitter scored run on his hit in the fourth inning.
 Bromley of the Miners was in fine form, and held the visitors to three hits after the fifth inning.

GET OUT OF THE MUD!

The wet spell.' which has been general in Missouri. has convinced the farmer that the dirt road must go. The farmers anxiety for good roads, however. is not sufficient. It is up to the county to assist him. Nor can the county assist him through it's county court by the small amount at it's dis posal which is appropriated for roads out of the taxes collected; nor is it fair entirely to the present generation to raise the taxes so that the purpose of building roads may be carried out.
 The only solution is for all the counties in this state to hold elec- ton this fall. authorizing the issu- ance by each county of a bond issue of one million dollars for road pur poses. This would give the property owners an opportunity to realize on the increased valuation of their pro perty caused by the good roads, and would only require the payment of in terest for the next twenty or thirty the case may be. Concerted action of all counties in this direction would more than double the valuation Of land in Missouri. Besides. it would make the state an inviting place. There is no state in the union that has in the same degree the beautiful rolling country embraced within the bounds of this commonwealth. - St. Louis Times

Not having taken it, we replied that we didn't know.

That last ball reposes on our type writer desk, a well respected sou venir-some aged, also. Imagine the relief that came over us when we found he only wanted to know what had become of the league. He was not the janitOr, and he did not want that lone baseball as pay for his services.

 one thing that may prove of extreme interest to Raymond Smith and other gentlemen promoters of San Diego. And that is the inclination on the part of Phoenix riders to ignore the San Diego people when arrang- ing road races for the coming year. This ignoring thing can be done with ease.

The agreement with San Diego last year that q race would be run this, was put through ry an entirely different organization from the one that is being formed now.
