GERMANY ADMITS
SINKING VESSELS

Washington, April 14.-Germany is
unable to ascertain whether it was a
German submarine that sank the Sus-
sex.
This statement is made in Berlin's
reply to Americas inquiry on this
point.
Regarding other British vessels ask.
ed about by America Germany says,
briefly:
A German submarine fired two
warning shots to bring the English.
man to stop March a. She refused
to stop and therefore was torpedoed.
Precisely the same occurrences took
place regarding the Eagle Point and
Berwindvale- in the latter case it
really was the Berwindvale, of which
Germany is not sure
It is impossible to ascertain wheth.
er German submarine attacked the
Manchester Engineer. Statements re-
Garding time and place afford no suf-
f1cient basis for reaching conclusion.
Regarding the Sussex Germany
says that, in the region where the
packet was sunk and about the same
time, long black craft without a flag
was encountered about the middle of
the English channel by German sub
marine. The commander reached the
conclusion it was a war vessel and
sank it.

PARLIAMENT TO OPEN
 WITHOUT THE KING.
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb. 14.-It is under stood that the government has de- cided to give over the entire week after Tuesday to a discussion of amendments to the Royal address which will open the way for nterpel- lations on many matters connected with the war. After the formal opening of parliament, which for the first time since the end of Queen Victoria's reign. will not be made by the sovereign in person, and will therefore, lack the accustomed pag- eantry. It is expected that Premier Asquith will make one of his period ical reviews of the war. It is not unlikely that the premiers review will be largely concerned with meas ures contemplated for the enforce ment of national economy once the address is voted, the government will take the whole time of the house for financial business
 With regard to restriction on inn ports, it is stated that the govern ment will in the first instance rule that only one third of existing inn ports will be permitted It is inter- esting to note in connection with probable duration of the war, that political gossip already talks of ar engagements to prolong still further the life of the present parliament which expires at the end of Sep tember.

WORSE THAN SHAME
 SAYS HOLL|NGsWORTH
speaking of Establishing of Fail Ground Track, Dick Mani
 fests Warmth

That 1t is ill-adVised on the part of the fair commission to black list the fair track by holding an auto meet without the sanction Of the A. A. A. IS the opinion of Dick Hollingsworth, official starter of the Arizona races. who has arrived from Los Angeles.
 Hollingsworth expressed grea; sur prise when told that the fair comn1is- sion had made the statement that there would be no association race this year. What q shame" he said. Why it's worse than q shame. it's a crime. Phoenix has one of the fastest mile courses I have ever been on" and Hol- lingsworth has been on a few since he started 209 races under the A. A. A! anc the Western A A.>A. affiliated with the three As. ''I can hardly be- lieve it. he continuel Tom Shaugh- messy himself told me last year as the people crowded the grandstand on au- tomobile day You can see where the money is this is what the public wants
 They may be able to pull a meet without the A. A. A. but it's success is q question. There is nothing as keen as automobile racing and the reason it is the clean sport it is today is be- cause of the rules and regulations of the association.
 The fair commission is doing an in- justice to the state to take stand gainst it and continue in the racing game. After the official track becomes unofficial it will be difficult to get back. IL will be disqualified for some time to come. I do not know where they will get the outside talent of which they speak unless they stay with the association.
 Hollingsworth who organized the Western Automobile Association, said it is now affiliated with the three As as IS every association of any prestige
 Tt is the ambition of every driver who has ever been in race to become a three A man. Do you think they are going to spoil their career by taking one engagement here. It would be ab- snrd if it were not such really seri- us thing for Arizona sport
