EDGE MARCHING CLUB.

At the regular meeting of the
Pleasantville Republican Club last
Wednesday evening, a committee of
three was named to secure members
for the formation of a Walter E.

unit in their support of Senator Edge
for the gubernatorial nomination. A
motion was also carried that a COM

for the purpose of selecting candi-
dates for the local ticket for the COM

P~LEASANTVILLE OPENS
SEASON WITH SHUTOUT
Takes Measure of Strong Tow
anda Team-Pitchers' Battle
in Which Adams Is Superb.

"The batteries for today's game
are'-thus cried George Painter, the
Umpire in last Saturdays opening
game at the Pleasantville Ball Park.
And the batteries were the important
and shining features of the whole
game, the locals having the better of
the argument at all times.
Our own Wallace Adams struck out
twelve of Towanda's sluggers, held
them to four singles, and caused them
to pop up eight inield flies. Earl
Sanders at short played a stellar
game, accepting his nine chances in
Major league fashion.
A thrilling few moments was ex-
perienced in the second inning when,
with three men on bases and nobody
out, Dump" famed the next three
Towanda batsmen in order.
A surprise was sprung on the fans
when the Regulars appeared on the
field in brand new uniforms, which ar
rived late Friday night. The boys
have never appeared in any other
suit than a white one heretofore, but
this years pattern is the dark gray
striped style, and created much favor
able comment. The stockings do not
seem to give satisfaction and will be
returned this week for a better grade.
The attendance was small but very
enthusiastic. The. new Manager, A.
Sherwood Risley, was particularly
we'll pleased with the performance of
his team in their initial combat as
the box score shows:

for colored voters be organized,
pledging the support of the members
of their race to the cause The chair
appointed as a committee to consider
this matter DR.. w. ]. Hudson, A. E.
James and D. D. Martz. The League
adopted a red, white and blue bow
which each member will wear in the
lapel of his coat. Various plans for
a most active campaign were present
ed and discussed, after which adjourn

"Mr. Speakman came in April, 1914,
just as the Spring dawned radiant.
And what that Spring was to Winter

man has been to the needy souls OF
Mont Atlo-never discriminating. al

BRITAIN ALTERS
BLOCKADE RULE
Important Changes Made In
Status of Neutral
Shipping

LONDON. July S.-King George
today issued royal order in coun-
Gil withdrawing all previous orders
in council under the declaration OF
London, and announcing new prin-
ciples under which the blockade of
Germany will be conducted.
The new order in council stlpu.
lates that the hostile destination OF
any ship carrying contraband OF war
is presumed until the contrary is
shown This stipulation permits
British warships to hold up sus-
pected neutral ships. which must
then offer proof that their cargoes
are not ultimately destined for en-.
envy countries to avoid seizure.
The principle of continuous voy-
age and ultimate destination will
apply to cortraband in ships passing
the blockade. Any vessel Is liable
to capture and condemnation by a
prize court II IFS cargo is more than
half contraband.
Any neutral ship carrying contra
band but which evades capture by
showing papers indicating a neutral
destination and then proceeds TO an
enemy port will be liable to capture
on her next voyage in the prescribed
area.
