MORAN IS GAME

NEW YORK, March 25.-The award ing of the bout to Willard on points was virtually unanimous among the re- porters at the ringside. although all gave Moran credit for his gameness that would bring down his gigantic op- ponent.
 Promoter Tex Rickard announced that the gate receipts amounted to SI51.25 of this amount the state re- ceived s1440O4. The expenses were about S100.000. so that Tex Rickard and his partner in the enterprise. Sam McCracken. will clear close 10 $50. profit on the bout. Moran refused to make any statement after the bout oth- CT than 10 say there would have been no fighting if he had not taken the ag- eressive throughout the ten rounds. Willard left the Garden immediately after the bout refusing to be inter viewed Dr. Lewis Morris. who at- tended the champion as his hotel, said that Willard had suffered a slight frac ture of the joint of the first index fin- ger of his right hand early in the fight He added. however that the big fel- low otherwise was in good condition and the injury to the finger would not trouble more than day or so.
 Rickard said after the fight: Nor an nut up good fight. He is a darn good boy Willard was much slower than I thought he'd be. If he broke his right hand as it is said he claims he did. it did not seem to make much difference He didn't seem to need his right a good part of the time"

Ambassador Sharpe of Paris
 Repofts to State Depart ment That All His Advices Confirm Torpedoing. MANY U. s. CITIZENS
 ON THE FRENCH SHIP Latest Action of Submarine May Precipitate Further Trouble with the German Government.
(ey Review Leased Wire.)

PARIS. March 9. s D. Scarcely any doubt exists al the American en- bassy tonight that some American lives have been lost in the destruction of the Sussex. Then American Ambas- ssdor W. c. Sharpe sent Naval Lieut.. Boinford L. Smith, by automobile. to Bouloene this evening to investigate the cause of the disaster and assist the Americans who need help.
 The dispositions of the American sur vivOrs who have arrived at Paris are being taken by the embassy. They will be forwarded to the State Depart ment at Washington. From thirty 70 fifty persons. according 10 the esti- mates here. out of 3S0 passengers and the crew of 56. were lost. The weight of testimony is that the Sussex was torpedoed by submarine without warning.
 The text of the official communica- tion says:
 The British steamer Sussex. which carried about 3SO passengers. was tor pedoed in the channel on the 24th by an enemy submarine
 The captain observed a torpedo about 100 meters from the side and immediately maneuvered to avoid it. but the vessel was struck in the for ward part, which was destroyed
 The vessel. however. remained e. float. The fall of the mas; destroyed part of the antennae of the wireless: moreover. when an aerial wire was i'm pFoviset. the operator by an error re- ported an incorrect position. which misled the torpedo boats and patrol boats. and as resJ.i- retarded the ar rival of help.
 The patrol boat Marie Theresa. nevertheless managed 10 fad the dis tressed vessel and brought back to Boulogne a majority of the passengers. Others were taken to England by Brit ish torpedo boats which had arrived at the scene of the disaster al the same time as the Marie Theresa.
 The Sussex was lowed 10 BoulOgne by a steamer from that port and now is there in security
 -Unhappily. the explosion and the beginning Of panic among the pas sengers resulted in some victims. The exact number is not known but it is estimated 70 be about fifty"

REPORTS NOT CONCLUSIVE

WASHINGTON. March 25. The channel steamer Sussex. damaged yes erday in the English Channel and the British steamer Englishman destroyed by an explosion. both carrying Ameri- can citizens. were torpedoed. accord ing 10 consular reports received by the State Department today.
 Twenty-Five Americans were on the Sussex. Whether any of them lost their lives or were injured was not es- tablished by the official report. though names in dispatches indicated that Americans might have been lost. Four Americans. employed as horse hand lers. were aboard the Englishmas. None were among the rescued and landed at the British port. Coming al a time when the State Department vas awaiting the result of an investigation of the Dutch liner Tubantia and con siderins affidavits. regarding an sl- leged submarine attack upon tks French ship Patria. the destruction of the Englishman and the damaging of the Sussex raised again the possibility of complications between the United States and the Central Powers
 The most important despatch re- gariing the Sussex came from Amhas- sadOr Sharpe al Paris. He reported that the American consul al Dieppe. Walter .. Palmer rSanborn. had inform ed him that the Sussex was torpedosd about six miles od the French coast while carrying SS6 passengers and a crew of 55 and that sixty 10 eighty passengers had been wounded or killed
 Ambassador Sharpe quoted Samuel Bemis. an American. as saying that he has seen several persons killed in he explosion.
 The fact that the EngliShmsn had carried horses 10 St Nszaire. France. before starting on her return trip dur ing which she was destroyed. does not alter the case in the opinion of off cisls. The State Department oonsid- CTS that carrying horses does not give the ship the character of an auxiliary.

DIR. HUNT ELECTED.

Dr. C. Ii. Hunt was elected a public school trustee for a term of three years, yesterday, by vote of 3S4 to votes for Dr. N. C. Bledsoe, w. W. Gidley received only one vote. The total vote of 391 was small as compared to previous years.
 The withdrawal of Dr. Bled soc undoubtedly had the effect of decreasing the vote How ever, lively interest was man ifcsted in the contest through out the day. Hunt banners were in evidence on big autos, throughout the district.
 News of Dr. r.Hunt's splendid victory was received with en- thusiasm and all interested in the cause of education believe that Dr. Hunts official cOnnec- tion with schools will result in marked progress for the bene- fit of every department of the Warren District public school system.

KAISER ANNOUNCES
DEATH OF BOELkE
Hindenburg Praises Aviator in
Letter to His Father

London, Oct. 30.-Captain Boelke, the
noted German aviator, whose death was
reported yesterday, is said by the Ex-
change Telegraph Company's Amster-
dam correspondent to have been
brought down by British aviator east
of Cambria.
Captain Boelke's death. adds the cor
respondent, was announced by Emperor
William at luncheon given Saturday
at Castle Bellevue by the Emperor to
Field Marshal Won Hindenbuig. The
news, it is said, made deep impress
sion, especially on the Emperor, who
had seen the aviator few days pre-
viously on the Western front.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg sent
the following telegram to Captain
Boelke's father:
81 am deeply moved by the death Of
your heroic son under such painful
circumstances. knew him we'll. and
appreciated his services highly. | send
you an expression of sincerest condo
lences. The aviation service has lost
its most successful battle aviator,
whose memory is imperishable."
General Won Ludendorf telegraphed:
"On the occasion of the death Of your
heroic son / send sincere condolences.
The army has lost its most successful
aviator"

HINDENBURG SAYS
LINE WILL HOLD
Continued from page I

SLAMS had more munitions than they
formerly had. Their munition sup
plies have now become diminished be-
cause of the end Of importation by way
OF Archangel and Vladivostok.'
All Wish for Peace
The correspondent reported to Won
Hindenburg on the general feeling in
Austria Hungary, declaring it was one
Of confidence and satisfaction, but that,
as everywhere, the end of the war
was wished for. The field marshal re-
piled:
THAT we all wish; understand this
well. The Austro- Hungarian people
have accomplished their. full duty dur
Ing this war and have made all the
heavy sacrifices which were necessary.
But still new sacrifices must be made,
lest those already made have been
made in vain"
General Won Ludendorf interjected:
Tell your Austrian friends that
there is only one efficient means for
ending the war-a firm will to end
The war by victory. Every soldier
and all others must work together;
they must realize that no way but
war leads to peace.
Munitions are not all; not grenades
but the morale of the troops, brings
the final decision, and the morale OF
the German and Austro-H Hungarian
troops is superior to that Of all our
adversaries. Nevertheless, munitions
mean very much in this war. At a
previous visit the field marshal told
you, The main thing is discipline.
That is true. Discipline is based on
the complete education OF every indi-
vidual man"
Asked whether there was any chance
that the war would be eliminated by a
decisive blow, General Won Ludendorf
said: perhaps. The trend of events
must show this. | prefer to make no
statement"
The war had developed no great Brit
ish strategists, Hindenburg declared,
and had made no great change in the
estimate of British military accom-
plishments.
Speaking OF his strenuous duties, the
field marshal said that since the war
had begun he had been on home leave
to see his family only seven days. For
all his work he did not allow his sleep
to be cut down, Hindenburg said. Even
while great decisions were hanging in
the balance, he said, army commanders
should get their sleep.
Sleep Vital for Soldiers
"If everything does not 20 as you
want it," he added, then you sleep
perhaps somewhat less sound but if
everything is WELL then, Of course, you
sleep all the better The main thing is
sleeping. Soldiers must be able to
sleep. That is a most important quail
ity."
Hindenburg expressed his admiration
and respect for the Bulgarian King and
the Crown Prince of Austria, and de-
clared that the visit Of Enver Pacha
had convinced him the Turkish War
Minister was clear, honest and trust
worthy man and an excellent soldier"
The visit of Hindenburg to Berlin
came as surprise TO the people, and
il was not until several hours after his
arrival that the news spread, and the
streets were decorated in honor Of the
visitor.
The Chief Of staff was received by
the Emperor at Bellevue Palace upon
his arrival, and later. with his wife and
daughter, dined with the Kaiser and
Kaiserin. After a conference with the
Emperor he met several government
cbiafe
