Coudert Holds U-BOat
Has WGrship'S Status

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 10.-Fred-
eric r. Coudert, the expert on inter-
national law, gave it as his opinion
that the Government would probably
feel itself bound to regard the sub
marine as a war vessel rather than
as a merchant craft.
"Of course, have only the meager
facts of her arrival to guide me-" said
Mr.. Coudert, and can hardly make
any very positive assertion. But in
view of the recognized status of a
submarine, / would say that the bur-
den of the proof that the vessel was
merchantmen should rest entirely
on the German Government. Wash
ington, in my opinion, will take extra
ordinary measures to insure itself
against any error before allowing the
U. boat to depart as merchant ves-
sci.
"You see, a submarine, by its nature
at least so far as it's construction has
progressed to the present, is a war
shin. She cannot be either a pas
senger or freight vessel because of
the limitations which her very powers
force on her. Her size, for instance,
would preclude any idea OF peace
full carrier.
with these facts in mind, 1t is my
belief that our Government will de-
clare the visitor to be a warship, and
will order her to leave within the
time limit of "a hours. OF course,
enough fuel and food would have to
be supplied her in that case to enable
her to reach the nearest home port
She would be forbidden to come into
one of our harbors again for period
| of months"

nesday and Thursday

Harrisburg returns tonight for a
five-game series at Island Park with
Albany The present weeks schedule
calls for ten games with the latest
bidders for a permanent home. There
was a probability that Reading would

work is showing a big Improvement.
Two of the pitchers are showing regu-
lar form and the others hope to come
around after another week at home.
Volz and Burns, who have not been
able to go more than four innings,
look like winning pitchers now. Par
sons hopes to be able to do better.
Huenke and Helfrich are as good as
any in the league.
Manager George Cockill and Captain
Walter Blair are working hard to land
new men. Other teams are scouting
for new material. 1t is expected that
in addition to Downey other new faces
will be in the local lineup tomorrow.
since July 4. Better things are ex-
pected this week. Harrisburg must
pass Albany in order to make any
showing in this seasons race.
Double-headers will be played to-
morrow and Wednesday. The first
game on each day will start at o'clock
and the second at o'clock. In the
event of rain on Wednesday, the

will start at 2.30 o'clock in COM

them to get to work at 6 o'clock.
Now that a telephone has been
