TWO BIG BASKETBALL
BATTLES THIS WEEK
Normal West Virginia Game at
Fairnont will Be Most In
teresting State Event.

The coming week promises consid-
cradle excitement in the inter-co-
legiate basketball race for West Vlr-
ginia. The most important contest
from this standpoint, perhaps, is that
between the FairmOnt normal school
and West Virginia University to be
staged at Fairmont. Fairmont has al
ready beaten West Virginia at Nor
gantown, but this game occurred early
in the year before the gold and blue
team had properly gotten its bearings
and there is much question as TO
whether or not Fairmont can repeat
the trick even with the advantage of
its home floor.
Friday night Washington and Jei-
ferson will play Wesleyan at Buck
harmon and while having no bearing
on the state race. inasmuch as Wash
ington and Jefferson plays no other
state teams, it will provide for the
lovers OF basketball game that will
be full Of excitement from beginning
TO end. Washington and Jefferson has
first class basketball five and each
year is contender for the Pennsyl-
vania championship, Wesleyan at
present is going at top speed and the
game will be one of the features OF Its
home season.
Two games between independent and
college teams will be played during
the week. Davis and Eikins will meet
the Keyser Collegians at Blkins Sat
urday night and Wednesday night
wesleyan will meet the Charleston
team at Charleston. keyser bea,
Davis and Elliins by good score, ou'
the Davis and Elkins team, travelling
at Its present clip, will make sail
ing pretty rough and the chances
are, will be beaten.
Interest for the week in college
basketball will naturally center on
the Fairmont-W West Virginia game at
Fairmont "Wednesday night and the
WESLEYAN Washington and jefferson
game at Ruckhannon Friday These
will provide two of the highest class
games played in the state during the
entire year and will attract practical
ly the entire attention Of state fans.

MARSHALL EXPECTS
GREAT BASEBALL NINE

catching of Cook, and the brilliant
work of Short Stop Hill, 1t will be
remembered that Hill started the
1915 season with the Marshall team
and suffered broken leg after he
had played but few games Al
that time he was hailed as the best
short-stop in the state.

man, Echols, Galloway, and Spearen
for the infeld are all in school with
O'Brien and Derrien bidding high for
the first base birth and Crawford
for sesocnd base. In the outfeld
Elder and Fisher will be seen at
their old posts while a number of
new men will be out to try for the
other outfield position, the most
likely candidates for this position be-
ing Raper and Rhodes.
For the catching corps there will
be, in addition to Cook, Capt. Shan
non and Pinch-hitter Hollandsworth.
With this trio on the job Marshall
is confident that the receiving end
of the line will be well taken care
of. On the pitching staff, in addi-
ton to the mighty Lawrence, there
will be Davisson, Dotson, Clyde
Fisher ana Beverly Maynard OF city
league fame. With all these men in
good shape the fans are confident
that the Marshall team will win Il
large majority of their games, even
though they play the largest and
best university teams in the United
States. Taking everything into con-
sderation the Marshall team for 1916
bids fair to far excel any team that
exer represented the Green and
White on a baseball diamond or on
any other field for that matter,

The supposition that our import trade has
dwindled to a comparative nothing since the out
break of the war is refuted by the latest figures of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The decrease in imports to the United States during
1915 as compared with the year preceding was only
ten and half million dollars in a total of one
billion, seven hundred and seventy-eight million,
or less than six-tenths of per cent; and
pared with 1913. record year for imports, the
decline only eight-tenths of enc per cent.
When il is reflected that purchases from
Germany and Austria have been cut of almost en-
reIy and that the industrial output of the Allies
has Deen greatly curtaed. these figures are indeed
remarkable. The Iron Trade Review draws the
conclusion that International trade has not been
damaged by the nearly much as some writ
ers would have believe and that in spite of the
tremendous conflict raging abroad, the genera
affairs Of mankind are moving largely along their
accustomed channels" portion of our loss in
imports from Europe has been OFFSET by an increase
in those from Latin-America and other neutral
regions. The fact that imports have not decreased
so much as might be imagined gives all the greater
significance to our huge export balance.

The Allies Munitions.

All reports indicate that the Allies no longer
are embarrassed by a shortage of munitions In
England thanks to Lloyd-Georges vigorous efforts
twenty-five hundred plants are producing a cease
less output of powder and guns. France also is
turning out a vast and steady volume of such sup

TO Russia Canada is said to have three hundred
and sixty war plants running without intermissiOn.
One authority predicts that the Entente Powers
soon will be independent of imports of the kind
from the United States. Wall Street saw the ten
dency two months ago, he says, and the boom on
our war stocks halted.
These changed conditions should have a marked
effect on the battle fronts. In no other field of
preparedness during the first year of the war, was
the strength of Germany and the weakness of the
Allies so manifest. Twelve months ago England
awoke the gravity of the situation. Lloyd

Armed Merchantmen

The announcement by Germany and Austria
that, beginning March the first their submarines
will attack armed merchantmen without warning
presents a delicate problem to American diplomacy
Merchant ships always have been privileged to
carry guns for their defense, but Berlin insists
that England has equipped many such vessels Tor
offensive action against underwater craft, and has
even manned them with attachments from her
navy In such cases, the Teutons argue the mer-
chairman becomes in effect vessel of war, and, as
such. is liable TO unqualified attack
The British Government no doubt will deny
that its merchantmen have abused the time-hon-
Ored privilege of carrying defensive arms, and Will
contend that the Central Powers are merely seek
ing another pretext on which to renew their sub
marine Iawlessness. This aspect of the case is
cogently stated by the Outlook which protests
against the United States sanctiOnng any such
change in the rules of warfare in the midst Of the
war. and adds
IF there is occasion for changing the
rules they ought to be changed in the other
direction. If the submarine cannot carry on
its warfare without resorting to the practices
of the pirate it ought to be treated as pirate,
and the merchantmen ought to be allowed the
privilege not merely of defending itself, but
also of attacking the submarine, it has the
privilege of attacking pirate, without losing
its peaceful status"
The position of the Washington Government is
rendered the more difficult by the fact that some
weeks ago it proposed, is reported to have pro-
posed that all the European belligerents disarm
their merchantmen the idea being that by such an
agreement every temptation and excuse for lawless
submarine activity would be removed. BY insisting
that their latest memoranda are a development OF
that suggestion, Berlin and Vienna would thrust
rather an embarrassing question upon the United
States Yet, inasmuch the American proposal
was addressed to all the belgerents, and depended
upon their common consent for any effect it might
have it ceases to be of diplomatic Importance as
soon as any of the interested Powers reject it.
Apparently, the United States would be open
to charges of unneutrality if it approved the Ger
man order while the Allies contended for the his
toric right to arm merchantmen for defensive pur-
poses The difficulty lies in determining just what
constitutes defensive and what offensive arms for
vessels of this character If either group of belg
erents acts otherwise than in good faith, it makes
the problem very much entangled

Germany's New Submarine Policy

Germany's announced purpose to sink, without
warning armed merchantmen after February the
twenty-nineth adds to the difficulties of the sub
marine issue with which American diplomacy has
been so long and so seriously concerned. 1t is
difficult TO see how Washington can countenance
this policy without sacrificing the substance of
whatever it has gained for the cause of interna-
tional law and humanity in the Lusitania case;
and it is evident, from limitations by Secretary
Lansing, that the Lusitania question will not be
closed until the new and related problem is sstisfac
tOrily solved.
The right OF merchant vessels to carry arms for
defensive purposes has stood for centuries unchal-
lenged. To change such rule in the midst OF the
war would do violence to of the plainest prin-
ciples of international Jurisprudence; and for the
United States to sanction the change at this juno
ture would be counter to the simplest duties of
neutrality Indeed, this Government would "be-
come the virtual advocate of the Teutonic Powers
against the Allies, If it approved the abolition of
right which both groups of belligerents enjoyed
when the war began and which one group of the
beIIigerents still insists should be maintained.
Germany pIeaos in extenuation of its new policy
that England has exceeded the right of defensive
arms for merchantmen and has equipped them
for offensive activity against submarines. If this
be true England should be constrained to forego
any practice that may place her merchant ships
beyond the bounds of peaceful commerce. But il is
obvious that submarine attacks on merchantmen
that are unduly armed would lead all too easily
TO attacks on merchantmen that armed for de-
tense alone. or not armed at all In short the
German policy could be made pretext for renew
ing the lawIessness and inhumanty against which
the United States has protested in the Lusitania
and related cases.
II submarines to fire without warning, or
without visit and search, how will they determine
whether a merchantmen is armed or unarmed?
II American passengers aboard merchant vessel
are to be exposed to such attacks, of what virtue
are Germany's promises to the United States? The
fact is. there is ground of law or of practical
safety on which the German plan may be cOndoned.
IL has been demonstrated that submarines can
operate effectually and at the same time legally.
Germany is entitled to all the power which her
boats can exert so long they conform to the
principles of international law and humanity just
as the Allies are entitled TO all the advantages
which their command of the vouchsafes But
no belligerent has a right to change the rules of
civilized warfare or ignore the primary principles of
humanity.

The Fall of Erzerunl.

The capture of Erzerum would be interesting
if for no other reason than that it marks one of
the few victorious ofensives the Allies have con-
Quoted. Petrograd points with welI-founded pride
the fact that the overthrow of this Turkish
stronghold is the first instance in the war OF
great fortress being taken by whirIwind assault"
The Russians irresistible dash bears striking wit
ness the improvement OF their artillery end the
replenishment of their munitions.
AS the keypoint to valuable military roads lead
ing in all directions Erzerum is OF much strategic
Importance. Correspondents point out that it
opens a way for the Russians either to 90 to the
relief of the British at Kut-EI-Amara or to JOIN
their compatriots fighting in Persia. Whether
any such expedition will be undertaken in the near
future it is evident that the fall of Erzerum
greatly strengthens the Russian campaign in the
Caucasus and indirectly at least, the position of
the Allies in the Balkans.

blanket vote of confidence in Congressional military
wisdom Secretary Garrsons resignation does not
in the slightest degree reflect his Continental
army plan, which struck us in theory a very
good plan Nor does it bring about the slightest
reaction in favor of mere subsidized state militia
which strikes US. both in theory and practice as a
very bad plan. If Congress can work out with the
