TO SEA AGAIN SOON

Berlin, Germany.-Under the same
officers and crew who already have
played thrilling roles in the Moewe' S
remarkable exploits, the German
commerce raider will again put to
sea within a few weeks it was stated

will be thoroughly overhauled. She
is said to be in remarkably good
shape though tattered by heavy
storms and struck more than once
by shells in combats with armed

she entered will remain deep sec
cret. but first hand stories of her
daring deeds are expected to reach
Berlin within short time.

iii correspondence with George RED
Andreas. formerly manager of the
Sioux City Western league club. Mr.
Scharnweber will be in Sioux City
within a few days and at that time
the matter will be gone over thor
oughly.
According to the plans of Mr.
Scharnweber, the league will CON-
prise six cities-Mitchell. Yankton,
Sioux Falls, in South Dakota; Chero-
kee LeMars and Sioux City, in Iowa.
Business men and baseball men in all
the cities named have been approach
ed on the proposition and strongly
favor the carrying out of the plans.
OF course, the Sioux City team would
have to be mighty fast one in order
to ind favor with the local fans. but
it is believed that a sufficient num-

here into a winning combination.

German Ambassador
To Present Berlin's
Latest Views Today
CONTEND BRITISH
Have Armed Merchantmen
Which Have Used Their
Guns Extensively

Washington. d Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
will confer with Secretary Lansing
today to present by instructions of
his government, the German view
point on the armed merchant ship
question. The engagement was made
at Bernstorty's request.
Lansing now has before him the
|appendices to the announcement of
the new German submarine campaign
which Germany contends prove that
IPritish merchant ships, armed for de-
Tense, have been using their guns OF
fensively against the submarines.
Views at Variance.
On eve of the decision of how the
Cnited States will regard the new
campaign, the ambassador was in
structed to discuss the question full
ly with Lansing and outline Berlin's
gotiations. The state departments
view is exactly the opposite.
1t S considered probable, however,
views at length. Germany's position
is that the armed ship question is
not connected with the Lusitania ne
which have been held in allegiance
while the Congressional situation
was disposed of, might be discussed
again today.
Britons Take Advantage.
Ambassador Bernstorff handed Sec
retary Lansing long memorandum
in detail the German posi-
tion regarding armed merchant ships
and the causes leading up to the de-
cision of the Central Powers to tor
pedo without warning all armed mer-
|chantmen of their enemies.
Lansing and Bernstorff declined to
Idivulge its contents. It is understood
Ito contain the allegation that Great
Britain had taken advantage Of the
contention of the United States that
BILE armed merchantmen and to have
those ships act extensively towards
enemy submersibles.
Charges Bad Faith.
The German government, it is un-
derstood, comedies that as subma-
rines are now engine of war
fare, interuational law as at present
constituted makes no provision for
their use. The German government,
lit is understood, expresses as will
ingness to operate it's submarines i'll
accordance with international law
prevailing prior to war, provided
Great Britain does not violate tht
same laws. 1t also Is understood
that the memorandum contends the
evidence appended to the late Ger
man announcement proves that Brit
ish ships, armed ostensibly for de-
tense, have been instructed to act.
and have acted extensively, and that
they are not peaceful traders. as the
UNITED States was assured they
would be by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
the British ambassador.
The memorandum also is under
stood to reiterate the previous dec
laration that the submarine warfare
begun by Germany is in reprisal for
the announced intention of Great
Britain to starve the civilian popula-
tion of the Central empires and the
memorandum also is said to refer to
the long standing friendship of the
United States and Germany and to
express the hope that the American
people will when familiar with the
explanations offered, fully appreciate
the position which Germany finds
herself in as result of the blockade.

NEW SYSTEM
 PLANNED FOR
 ALASKA CABLE
Experiments Are Being Made by Department Which Improves
 Efficiency

SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-Experiments which will revolutionize the methods used in the operation of cable tel ecrams through the use of the type receiving instruments employed in radio communication have been con ducted by the war department in Seattle and have proved remarkably successful, according to officers or United States Signal Corps today.
 The experiments were made un- der direction of Lieut.. Col. George | O. sQuIer. who has been seeking a new method of receiving messages over the government cable lines. A series of tests were made in Seattle on the Seattle-Sitka cable, 1,OS6 miles long, by officers of the United States Signal Corps under the di- rection of the war department,
 Sound Signals.
 The use of type of receiving ln- strument employed in radio com munication is said to permit the re- ception of ordinary Morse signals by ear, eliminating the necessity for highly-trained cable-readers and per hitting the operation of ocean ca bles under conditions that would make communication impossible un- der the present system.
 It is expected that the new ap- paratus will be installed in Seattle and at all of the Alaska cable sta tions in the near future as re- suit of the experiments just com pleted.
