WILSON STRIKES WHEN
THE IRON is COLO.

President Wilson refused to
speak in independence Hall on
the one hundred and twenty
eighth anniversary of the sign
ing of the Declaration of indie
pendence in that hall, and he so
refused because inasmuch as
over cne hundred of our men,
women and children had just
been murdered on the high seas
he regarded il as 1.-The very mo-
ment when he would not care
to arouse the sentiment of pa
triotism." Mr.. Wilson has a posi-
tive genius for striking when
the iron is cold and fearing TO
strike when the iron is hot. If
one hundred and twenty-eight
years ago Washington and JEFF
ferson, and the other men who
signed the Declaration of indie
pendence had felt the same way
about patriotism, and the same
way about fighting as MIR. Viii
son does, we would never have
had a country. Had Lincoln
felt the same way, there would
be no such thing as the Ameri-
can Republic now in existence
From the Speech of Colonel
Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Mich
igan, in Behalf of Mr.. Hughes.

Here's a news item that should
interest followers of the White Sox:
Reb Russell, Texas southpaW, a
sensation when he first entered the
American league, has decided that
he will be of great value to the South
Side club during the season of 1916.
Reb, who has been a hold-out, sent
in his signed contract yesterday, with
the information that he is already in
training to reduce his surplus flesh.
Russell, when in condition, is as
good a southpaw as the American
league boasts. His speed is dazzling
and his curve ball is baffier. But
in 1914 Reb was hog fat and prac-
ticaIly useless to the local crew. Last
season he made a more serious effort
to reach effectiveness and partially
succeeded.
Now, with the Feds eliminated,
Russell is ready to get down to bust
ness. If he trains faithfully, and is
really down to playing weight, he
will be worth much to Rowland in
padding the winning side of the per-
centage column. Russell can stand
a lot of work and really, is better
pitcher when worked at least once
in four days. When he first came to
the league he was worked even more
frequently than that and his first
season was his best.
Along with the other Sox hurlers
Russell will go to Mineral Wells,
Texas, March 1, ten days ahead of
the main squad. With the pitchers
will be Manager Rowland and a
corps of catchers.
President Weeghman of the Cubs
and Former Manager Breshnahan

feelings over Rogers contract, which
has yet two years to run.

to go to any other big league club
as private after having been man
ager so long.
President Lannin of the Boston
Red SoX has sold the Providence club
of the International league to w. H.
Draper, a Providence man.
Clark Griffith has started a fight
with the New York Yankees for the
services of Joe Gedeon, who was sent
to the Pacific Coast league by Wash
ington. Gedeon leaped to the Feds
early in the winter and was bought
from Harry Sinclair by the Yanks.
Griffith says he should retain title to
Gedeon.
Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
lightweight, is rapidly piling up a
reputation for himself as a ready and
willing battler, packing a good share
of efficiency. Last night in Cincin-
natl he fought ten rounds to a draw
with Joe Rivers, making a rafting
fine finish. Both men put up a real
battle and showed that first-rate men
can fight if they are in the humor.
Jimmy Johnston, New York fight
manager, is now claiming the welter-
weight title for Ted Lewis, the En-
lishman, and has issued challenge
to Packey Mcfarland for a cham
pionship bout. Johnston would have
the fight in Milwaukee or New York,
preferably the latter place, believing
a better crowd could be attracted.
He appears confident that McFar-
land will listen to a fight offer. But
the guarantee made to Packey must
be a stiff one before the stockyards
man will listen.

DENIES u. S. FAVORS
WAR TO REAP PROFITS

Berlin. Oct. (by wireless to Say
Vile. n. Y.)-The view that the United
States desires the continuance Of the
war for the sake of business is a mis-
taken one, declared Baron Won Hengel-
muller. former Austro-Hungarian Am
bassador to the United States. in an
interview in the Budapest Journal"
as quoted in a Vienna dispatch to the
Overseas News Agency. His twenty
years residence in America had con
vinced him that no nation was more
likely to be moved by sentiment.

With the wireless confused as the
authorities at the Newport naval sta
ton sought 70 keep simultaneously IN
communication with the lightship and
with Washington, details Of the attacks
were still scant tonight. 1t was not
even known by direct report that the
submarine which had brought the naval
war zone close TO the American coast
was the U-53, though Of this ofhcers AT
the local station had no doubt.
Nor had il been made clear whether
the undersea warrior was able TO SINK
the merchantmen with the heavy rapid
FIRE guns which showed fore and aft on
her visit here, whether she sent board
ing parties to destroy them with oomos'
or whether she was forced TO use tor
pedoes.
OF the latter, unless a secret am
munition chamber was built into her,
she has few. II became known to-day
that the U-53 had discharged two of
the eight torpedoes, for which she has
unconcesleG slowing space, on the
Sc enteen-day trip across the Atlantic.
This was noted by Lieutenant Puleston,
aid 10 Rear Admiral knight. II was
admitted to Lieutenant Puleston by
Captain Rose that the missing tor
pedoes had been FUSED" The German
commander turned the subject without
revealing the circumstances.
Expected to Hurry Home.
The U-bost, despite the boast Of her
captain that he had provisions and
fuel for three months cruise, is be-
lieved by submarine officers TO have
been ready for furry of raiding and a
quick dash home when she said goodby
to Newport and poked her nose under
at the harbor mouth. The experts
placed her cruising radius at 5000
miles, so far as fuel is concerned. They
are confident that, whatever further
havoc she may work in the meantime,
she will be scooting for home port in
the morning-barring the possibility
that the Allies warships sight her.

Two Neutrals Are Sunk.
All afternoon and evening the radio
station was picking up messages from
the feet describing in more or less de-
tail the sensational work Of the Ger
ran submarine. After lull there came
the startling news that two more ships
had been torpedoed
First came word Of the Boomers
dix. Dutch steamer, which was
caught near the graveyard OF the
others. The vessel remained afoat
some time after being torpedoed, but
went down al sos o'clock.
The news of her sinking was FOL
lowed very quickly by the announce
ment that the Christian knudsen' a
Norwegian tanker, was also victim OF
the submarine.
Reasons for and against acceptance
of Captain Roses explanation OF ms
visit were again being argued to-hignt
between the sputterings OF the wire

tain Rose really had important COM
nunications to send to the German
Embassy he could have stopped al no
better place TO put them into the Gus

Not only does the town Of Newport lie
close to the harbor mouth. but the
water in the harbor and Just outside
is deep enough to permit submarine

There are some who believe that the
appearance of the U-53 and the reign oi
terror she has inaugurated Will be fol-
lowed by the arrival of the Bremen,
Germany's long overdue commercial
submarine. The rush Of Allied patrol
cruisers to the trouble centre. they
point out. may have been planned 70

Southern port.
Expected Transport Raids.
Until the U-boat began her campaign
off Nantucket naval officers here be-
lieved she would sail north and lie IN
wait for transports carrying Canadian
troops. That she will have the am
muntion now to carry out this scheme
they doubt Their present belief is
that she will run for ner base within
the next few hours, satisfied with her
work
II may be that the closing Of the Al

take refuge in United States waters.
If she does, il is understood command
ers of the American war vessels have
orders TO protect her from attack. In
that case she will have to intern.

summary action by this government is
unlikely.
Short Of the most drastic measures,
however, the President apparently has
no way out of the present difficulty.

in the past would enable Germany TO

Der, 1915, against the towering" of
British warships near American ports,
although the main purpose of these
vessels was to apprehend German war
ships attempting to take refuge in
American ports.
Bernstorf Gets Message.
News of the sinking of many ships
to-day drew expressions of satisfaction
from the ranking Teutonic diplomats.
The German Embassy still maintained
that it was without prior knowledge
whatsoever regarding the visit Of the
U-53 or her mission in American wa
tiers.
The dispatch sent to Count Won Bern
storf by Lieutenant Captain Hans Rose
arrived to-day, but was said to have
contained no information of impor-
lance. Neither did it inclo1e any Off
cial communication from the German
government.
The dispatch was brief, being written
in German upon one sheet of paper.
Captain Rose opened by reporting mis-
arrival, adding. that he entered New
port to show his ship TO the American
navy, knowing that many ships were
gathered there. The communication
closed with the statement that he
thought he might secure some supplies
should they be offered to him. and re-
quested the embassy to pay any'blls.
The embassy appeared to be dsap-
pointed because the commando of the
submarine failed to give more informa-
ton regarding himself, his vessel and
his intentions.
