International News Service:
BY Frank G.. Menke.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Over-con-
fdence. the curse of every athlete.
sent Frank Moran skidding from the
heights 10 the depths OF has-beens;
dropped him from his once lofty
position as foremost contender for
the championship TO a place so low
that he never may rise again. And
that conceit. in addition 10 bringing
10 him the worst beating that he
ever got i'm his ring career. also kill
ed his chances of ever again earn
ing big money as a fistic performer.
A lesson can be learned by all
puglists from the case OF Frank
Moran: a lesson that will teach them
never 10 regard a foe cheaply.
Frank Moran made the greatest
mistake of his life when he under
estimated the fighting skill of Jack
Dillon. He thought that his meeting
with the Giant Killer" would be
nothing bat a mild workout for him.
But instead, the fight practically
eliminated the blond Pittsburgher
from the front ranks Of heavy
weights, and has made the once
time hero of the ring little more
than a sconed-at battler.
Moran reckOned that Dillon
would be pie" for him. He had in
mind the fact that ne would be six
inches taller and have almost the
same edge i'm reach. Furthermore,
he reasoned that if he (Moran)
could score two knockOuts over the
giant Jim Coffey, and give a great
fight 10 the massive Willard il
would be easy for him against the
pigmy Dillon.
Moran Didn't Train Earnestly.

the raising of sheep, the matter is now
being more highly regarded and more
care and larger fiocks are evident.
This fact seems to open up to the

a real source of profit and the results
reached are being compared with the
specialties that have been raised In
previous years on the farm. Year by

Gaylord Kennedy left Newton yester

out of the city on the main road south
he met a Ford Car driven by Dan

who owned the car. They came down
onto to the main road from by-road
and started east; the motor cycle
meeting them just at the point of in

the car from the front and seeing that
it was hopeless tried the back trail
struck the back fender of the car and

and he sustained a badly fractured
knee and suffers concussion of the

for his recovery at the present time,
Unless further complications arise it
is thought that he will get along nice

to Mr. Gillispie on Saturday evening,

DEUTSCHLAND IS
A MERCHANT SHIP
UNITED STATES PUTS HER IN
THE COMMERCE CLASS.
MAY TAKE CARGO FOR RETURN
information Questions Are Brought Up
With the Arrival of the German
undersea Boat. British Pro-
test She is Warship.

Washington, July l0.--The U-boat
liner WHICH passed through the Vir-
ginia capes will be treated by the
United States government as mer-
chant ship. s-. ...s. ...ml 3D.. q, ...-r
q The vessel will be permitted to dis
charge her cargo, to take on a cargo
for the return voyage, and sufficient
gasoline and other stores TO enable
her to reach home. ...
This program of the state depart
ment is based upon official reports
that the German underwater boat
is not armed with torpedOes and is
not fitted with torpedo tubes. 1t also
has been reported that she has no
guns, but even If she has, and the
claim should be advanced that they
are intended for defensive purposes
only, her status as merchant ship
will not be changed in the view of
this government. tgf..t.s .,l. ..sta
The German embassy is understood
to be sending communication to the
state department requesting that the
U-boat be treated as merchantmen
and setting forth the grounds for
such action. .-....- ...,r,.,..
The British embassy is preparing to
demand that the vessel be treated as
a warship and required to leave
American waters with "a hours or in
termed.
The German contention is based
10 cd nhnr anfnr Of
ship and the fact that she has a
cargo aboard.
The British contention proceeds on
the assumption that q submarine is
in character a war vessel, and that
1t would be an easy matter for such
a craft to equip itself with guns and
torpedoes from small vessel await
ing 1t at sea. ,,
The state department, which had
received information indicating that
a U-boat would visit the United
States, cannot perceive any legal diff
ferences between surface, subsur-
face or an underwater vessel. ..
s. In order that nothing may happen
to her the navy department will as
sign a man-of-war, probably tor
pedo boat, to maintain q watch, Al
armed guard also will be provided.
The legality of a blockade depends
entirely upon its effectiveness. If the
U-bOats cannot be stopped, if COM
merce with this country should not
be made sufficiently dangerous to jus
tify the claim as to the effectiveness
of the blockade, then, of course the
blockade loses its force.
1t is the view of naval officers here
that these craft will carry cargOes of
great value and small bulk, bringing
to the United States dye stuffs and
the like and carrying back tOluol, rub
Der and other raw materials which
Germany must have for the prOsecu-
tion of the war.
