the grossest infractions of his beloved international code. In view of his constant nagging at Germany for her failings with re- spect to that bunch of judicia. nonsense dignihed by the title of law" we may, with good reason, ask who has been guilty of the most extensive violations of the international law.
 Is it Germany, or is some other7 What has Germany done, that we must constantly threaten her with severance of friendly relations or worse? The answer is obvious; she has endangered and destroyed American lives and sunk few ships containing Am erican products through her sub marine operations. This is truly damning indictment; but, what else has she done? We don't hear any answer. All of this was assuredly in defiance of the in- ternational code, which says that neutral lives and commerce shall not be needlessly endangered We are, therefore, justified in calling her to account, and are doing so with all the vim and energy with which our estimable chief executive is endowed. Ger many has committed these grave infractions of the blessed interna- tional law in about a dozen in stances. perhaps less. Well and good. We can condemn Germany righteously for what she has done and hold her to a strict account ing; we may use up all our stock of explosives in damning; we may pour out upon her head all the venom and vituperation with which our system is filled for such cruel and inhumane acts and even then we will not have visit ed upon her one half of the blame that she deserves. Germany has been grossly and manifestly
 wrong, but, wrong as she has been, is she the sole offender? Is she the only one who has injured us and damaged us by violating our privileges? Are there no others who have caused us dis
 tress by violating that law to which we hold Germany to such
 strict account? Is Germany the only one who has transgressed :? What about our whilom friend
 England? Has she not offended
 the strict principles of that law
 which we hold up to Germany as ; the standard of national conduct
 Who has been guilty of the gros-
 5ag Xi9ellations of ,tM shat seftion oi ed the rights of neutrals, England
 or Germany? We blame Ger many for setting up arbitrary rules restricting the rights of neutrals to travel the high seas without molestation. Tn fact that is the very basis of our original dispute with that nation. Today, also, we are quarreling with her because we insist that we have a right to travel the seas as we will without being molested.
 Why, then, if the privilege of the seas is the basis of our con- tentions, why do we not proceed to denounce England for breaking the international law through re-

privileges of the seas, so why not England as well? It is plainly proven that her infractions of the international law are far more numerous than those of Germany md are doing us untold damage through the destruction of our foreign trade. If we are fighting for the privileges of the seas why is England left to do as she wills while Germany is held to strict reckoning? If we are supporting principle, why do we not dis play triAe more consistency by Toing after one violator as hard IS we do after another?

JUS. TRIES TO
 BUY } DANISH
 INDIES ISLANDS
Fhree Little Units of Antilla Group Said to Be Bought
 Secretly.

Washington, D. C., May 5.-A high
 NficiaI of the administration admit { ted yesterday that a treaty between
 the United States and Denmark has
 vfdes for the purchase by this coun- try of the Danish West Indies for $5,- ! 0OO, GOO. By he4erms of this treaty Eswhen ratified, three little islands in Isthess Antilles will pass into the posses gion Aof the United States
 The treaty has been negteiated by Secretary Lansing and the Danish
 1ninister, pr. Constantin Brun. Extraordinary measures have b&en ESadopted to guarantee the consumma- kfion Of the deal, which twice before
 has been frustrated by the opposition gOf the German government The plan His to put the scheme through at once. awhile Germany is too busy fighting to ktuterfere. The utmost secrecy has hbeen observed It is intended to Eeeek simultaneous ratification of the A6reaty by thes American Senate and EEhe Danish Parliament at a single sit ffing.
 Chairman Stone. of the foreign re- saat1ons committee of the Senate, was fin conference with Secretary Lansing kabout the proceedings for the ratif1ca- k1ion of the treaty to-day
 f If the cessfon of the islands is ac- icomDlished President Wilson will #have broken all records in the last fifty years for the peaceful extension Eof American dominion and influence. RE7e already has established a protec- Eforate over Haiti and acquired a pow kerfu1 influence over Nicaragua by pur- Echase of the fnter-oceantc canal right kof-way.
 The first attempt of the United kSta1es to buy the Danish Islands was kxThan Secretary of State Seward ne- kgo1lated a treaty providing for the
 payment of 47,5oo,0O0 for them in K18eT. That treaty was not ratified by kffA Senate. In 1902 Secretary Hay knegotdated e purcanaae for $5,oO0.0 900. Ebut that treaty was rejected by the Danash Parliament.

New York, May 5.-That the Amer ican athlete has reached a stage of preparedness that would bode i'll for the rest of the world athletic were the Olympic games to be held this summer as originally scheduled, can be readily appreciated by a glance at the reports of track mets held in var ious parts of the country each week. Five worlds records were broken or equaIled in two sets of games last Sat urday and the time in some of these events could easily have been bettered had the performers realized how near they were to record figures.
 At the University of Pennsylvania relay meet the Cornell university four mile relay team, consisting of Taylor, Hoffmire, Windnagle and Potter. eouaIIed the record of IT m., 51 1-5 S. and Potter, who ran the last mile, could easily have clipped this time had he known that he was within reach of the worlL s record. The Yale university two mile relay team con sisting of Rolfe, Cooper, Barker and Overton, also eQualled the best time for the distance and here again it was within the bounds of. possibility that the quartet of half milers might have done even better than I'm, 5 S. had they been informed how near they were to the existing mark
 In the 120 yards high hurdles race Simpson of the University of Missouri skinned over the bars like a swallow in IS s. fiat on a grass course, which was not particularly fast, equalling the best time ever made on either ctn- ders or turf The star performance of the day, however, was one that went unclocked from an official standpoint. That was the running of othe final quarter of the one mile relay by Capt. Ted Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania. Meredith was timed by a number of expert handlers of stop watches from 46 3-5 to AT 4-5 seconds for his relay, when he was trying to make up the long handicap given him by the third runner of the Pennsylva- mia team.
 The difference in the figures record ed by thees unofficial timers is ex- plained by. the fact that they started their watches at different stages. Mer-

STEVE YERKEs 28 TO-DAY.

Steve Yerkes, who< is back in the O. B. fold as second basernan of the Chicago Cubs after straying for a time in the Fed pastures, will pass his 18th milestone today. Stephen Doug las Yerkes is the monaker conferred upon him by his fond parents soon after his mundane debut at Willow Grove, Pa., on May 5, 1888. Steve is a college man. and made quite a name for himself on the nine of the Uni versityf of Pennsylvania. He broke into professional baseball at Wilson, N. C.. in 1909, and the following year he ascended another rung in the lad der, playing with the Chattanooga outfit Steve spent only one season with the Lookouts and was then grabbed by thes Red Sox.' ..
 Steve had specialized in shortstop- ping during his eminor league career, and in his first yearTin the big show he was used principally in that position. He batted .279 in 142 games and was up among the leaders in fielding. Later he was moved to second base and be- came the regular in that position in 1912, the year the Red Sox won the pennant and the worlds champion ship. Steve batted .251 that annun1, and in the series with the Giants he had a perfect fielding average and batted .25O. In 1913 he batted .267. Steve's contract with the Red Sox ex- pired in 1914, but when the Boston management heard that he proposed to go over to the Feds he was released before the season closed. Steve imme- diatly joined the Pittsburgh Feds, and in the remainder of the season batted at a .33S gait. although his American Leageu average that season had been only .218. With the Rebels last year Steve swatted the pellet for 286 av- craze. and stood third in fielding among the Fed second basemen.
 Yerkes is five feet and nine inches in height and weighs about 175 weighs about 175 pounds. It is said that, Joe Tinker paid $6,000 for Steve which, especially considering the wealth of material he had on hand, in- l dicates that Joe had a high opinion of the prowess of Yerkes.

AMERICAN ATHLETES WOULD
 HAVE WON OLYMPIC GAMES

edith went back fully ten yards be- yond the starting line to meet the fast tiring Scudder, who was running the third relay. When he took the baton he carried it fully 45O yards instead of 450 yards. Some of the timers, started their watches the moment he received the baton while others waited until he crossed the actual starting mark. These wers the timers who clocked Meredi+" in better than 47 second fiat on a curved track whereas the worlds record of 47 seconds held by Maxey Long was made on a, 40 yard straight away.
 The record breaking of the day was not confined entirely to the east, however, for on the Pacific coast Fred Kelly one of the record holding hurd- lers did 24 2-5 seconds for the 22O yard hurdles around 8 curve thus bet tering the existing time. Kelly has been hurdIing in wonderful form all spring but he is not without worthy rivals since Earl Thompson defeated him in the 12O yard hurdles in 1 5 sec Onds flat thus equal1ing the worlds best time at about the same moment that Simpson was accomplishing a similar feat at Philadelphia.
 A remarkable exhibition of game ness was recently given in New York City by Jack Nif1ot former Olympic champion wrestler. In a special match with George Bothner for a large side bet and purse Nif1ot had, his right shoulder cleanly dis1ocated at the end of 33 minutes of wrestling The fall was given to Bothner. During the ten minutes intermission a sur geon reset the dislocation and Nifiot returned to the mat and wrestled five hours without Bothner being able to gain the second fall. and the referee declared the bout a draw as the conditions called for two falls to win.
 At the opening day of the War Racing Season. at the Berlin trotting course at Mariendorf, $3,OO0 was paid in gate-money and the State boxing machines took in about $5O,O0O. A large number of race meetings are planned for May and June.

LOCAL GIRLS
Won EASILY
Girls Basket Ball Team of S. H. ).
Romp Over Rogers High
29 to ID

One of two things have happened
since the two basket ball teams from
the Rogers High School and the
'Springdale High School last met.
For the local team won from Rogers
here Saturday by a score of 20 to
10, and either Rogers has failed to
practice and has lost speed, or the
local girls have gained wonderfully
in team work and play since the last
session.
The game was witnessed by a small
crowd considering the game, and
from first to last the local girls had
the game won, and won easily Lo-
cal enthusiasts We're fearful of the
outcome, as the home team had lost
so easily 10 Rogers oniy two weeks
|ago, anl predictions " re freely male
that the local team would lose.
The first half of the game was
easily Springdale's and Rogers show
ed very little speed, and the members
seemed to be very slow The bali
was in possession of Springdale play
Iers three fourth OF the time, and but
for bad goal throwing the score
would have been much higher.
The local team presented a much
better working team; as with Lucille
Stokes in center, the ball belonged
to Springdale from the toss up.
The score at the end of the first half
stood 18 to 4, favoring Springdaie.
Rogers drew five penalties in the
first half; Springdale nine
The feature of the game came IN
the second half when Ruby Stobaugh,
local forward threw d clear goal from
the middle foul line Springdale
drew five fouls in the second half;
Rogers 6. Many fouls were call
ed, seemingly unnecessary; and
tended to make the game slow and
listless; Rogers being fouled time af-
ter time because the players ''did not
have their feet together"
Following is the local lineup:
Mildred Thompson and Zelpha House
guards ;Lucile Stokes, jumping cen
ter; Cessna Stafford side center;
Ruby Stobaugh and Bessie Sullivan.

1t is understood that another game
will be played between the two teams
before the close of the season in or

won one, and Springdale one, of the
two games played

MURDERED FOR
HIS SAVINGS
Mat Phillips killed-Motive Thought
To have Been Robbery.

Mat Phillips, we'll known citi-
zen of near Purdy, was found dead
in bed at his home late Friday af
ternoon with one side of his head
and face almost entirely blown off.
A shotgun, the weapon used, was be-
side him. The wound showed thai
the shot entered the top of his head
and ranged downward. The fact that
the bed covers were drawn over all
the top of the shoulders explodes
any theory of suicide and proves
without a doubt that Phillips was
murdered while asleep. The motive
for the foul deed is positively be
lieved to have been robbery, there
being signs of a general disarrange-
ments of things in the room made
by the murderer in search for
money, but no money was found by
the murderer.
Phillips, who was unmarried, liv-
cd alone; he was about 55 years
old, and it was generally believed
that he had accumulated neat lit
tie sum of money which he refused
TO loan, invest or deposit in banks.
Whoever killed him knew this, and
without any doubt the theft Of
the money was the incentive for the
killing. After the dead body of
Phillips was discovered his friends
made a search fer the money he
was supposed to have had and found
only about 500 hidden behind a
picture on the wall This was prob
ably all the money he had as the
savings Of misers are often over
estimated
The murder lis supposed to have
been committed Sunday night, as
Phillips was last seen that after
noon, and the body was in bad
state Of decomposition.
The gun left beside Phillips body
belonged % him and had been re-
turned to him Sunday by Charles
Redman. gunsmith. who had it to
repair. Redman is supposed to be
the last person who saw Phillips that
day, and Oh these circumstances was
arrested for The crime but the coro=
ncr's jury exonerated him and h
was released Redman mas been run
ming a blacksmith shop at Alabam.-
