SUBMARINE ISSUE
Washington, April II. - Wilson's
cabinet convened today with few ex-
pected facts concerning recent sub
marine operations in hand.
German foreign Office report, dis
claiming responsibility, was believed
to have been handed Ambassador
Gerard today, but direct word to that
effect had not come from Gerard.
London.-Under most tremendous
hammer blows in history of world,
French line is holding firm in great
battle raging about Verdun.
Wave after wave of Germans are
rolling up against French barricades
on the Smile front northwest of Yer
dun. French are driving back Ger
man Iegions in savage hand-to-hand
fighting on southern banks of FORCES
brook.
10000 Germans were killed or dis
abled in first 48 hours of Verdun at
tack. French losses ahve been very
heavy.

BELIEVE BOMB EXPLOSION WAS
ELECTION MOVE
First election trouble of today was
scented when a bomb was exploded
early this morning in the saloon Of
George Murphy, 55 W. Austin av.,
in the 21st ward.
The front of the place was torn
out, but no one was injured.
Murphy is taking part in the bitter
struggle between John F. O'Malley
and Francis Becker.
He lines up with O'daIley and jim
my Quinn, who are opposing Becker,
Thompson candidate, indicted yes
terday on charges of collecting graft
from salOOnkeepers and dive owners
The argument today at the polls
of the city is to see which factions
will be in. control of the parties in the
near future.
With the Republicans, the Thomp-
son-Lundin bunch will do battle with
the Deneen forces, who have been on
the outside of the City Hall since the
late Mayor Busse moved.
The ThOmpson-Lundin faction
have the advantage of a heavily-lad-
en- payroll of Thompson voters and
workers, but have an undivided press
against them.
With the Democrats it is different.
Roger Sullivan, the gas and biscuit
man, whose crowd cleaned up the
Democratic end of the aIdermanic
elections, will try to take another fall
out of the HaTTisOn-Dunne end Of
the Democrats.
The voters will indicate their
choice for the party county, state
and national committees. And a
chance to show their presidential fa-
vOrite will be given.

between him and Collins to be able
to frame the words with which to
tell his SON. The son was too much
absorbed in his thoughts to take notice
Of his fathers presence. He was llv-
ing through the half hour of surprise
and pleasure he had spent with Sybil
much cngrosscd in what had passed
Collins. He still narveled at her in
nate refinement, her sweet voice, her
intelligent discourse on art, music,
books, and topics of the day. He
could not realize that Collins could
have such a daughter. A reminis-
cent smile played about his strong
mouth.
Meanwhile, the elder Hess began

The elder Hess could not under

Hess was dunfounded. Could it
be possible he understood Collins:
That the uncouth, boistcrcus, vul-
gar Collins, whom he had merely
patronizcd- and none too graciously
at that-could it be possible that he
was willing to do all that for him?
1t was hard to realize that such a
man could have such lofty ideals
such generous instincts.
Collins, noticing Hess silent abb
straction, went en- talking, and en-
phasizing every point with wave
Of one hand and sometimes both.

but he resolutely choked it back.
"Vat," he calculated. "Vat you

Hess impatiently interrupted him.
He thought he understood. A man
like Collins would naturally take
every mean advantage Of such a
situation. What was to be expected
of his kind? He was holding out
for a match with his son. His att1-
tudc was merely pose. Then the
thought of ruin and disgrace

pcignantly across his mind. He
must. give his consent to the mar

only way. He tried to talk, to tell
Collins that he would agree to the

but words failed him.

USES ILLEGAL PLAY
FoIweII Calls Attention to oreson's
Work This Season.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20. - Bob
Folwell, coach OF the Pennsylvania
football team, claims that the oregon
football team, which the Quaker war.
riors will meet ON the Pacific coast
on New Year day, has been using
an illegal play throughout the last
season. Coach Folwell brought the
question up at "A discussion OF rules
and plays at the annual meeting OF
local players, coaches and gridiron
officials, held last night at the Hotel
Walton. Robert w. Maxwell presided.
According To Folwell. Oregon has a
play In which the two tackles are
brought n yard back OF the line OF
scrunmage, Officials at the meeting
agreed that the play was illegal and
suggested that the captain of the
Penn team take the matter up with
the officials who are TO work In the
game directly before the contest,
Those present also went ON record
as being against Percy Haughton's
suggestion that the time OF the DIFF
ferent periods be confined to a certain
number OF plays. The suggestion OF
the Harvard coach was made after IL
was claimed the time was shortened
during the recent fale'Harvard game.

INDIANS BOOK THREE
Carlisle VIII Meet Penn. Princeton,
and Harvard Next Year.

The Carlisle Indians are going in
strong for football next year. This
season they did not develop a team
OF traditional Indian strength. but the
outlook Is promising for next year.
Since the departure of Glenn Warner
from Carlisle the football work has
been carried on by Coach Cleveath.
Next year the coaching will be In
new handss and the Indians are out
for big games.
They have already arranged games
with Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Harvard. Brown and Syracuse OF,
fered big inducements to get on the
Indians schedule, but the red men
have found IL necessary to turn them
down for fear of overlooking them
selves just at the start of the revi
val of football at the Carlisle school.
Penn and the Indians have long been
friends and while IL is understood
that PENIS proposition is not as at
tractive as that offered by Brown, the
Indians will accept PENIS invitation
by preference.

RUSH TIGER COACH
Receives Appointment for Third
Year at Princeton.

PRINCETON, N. j.. Dec. .aO.--John
ii. Rush. head coach OF the Princeton
football teams, will guide the desti-
MES of the Tigers on the gridircn dur
ing the season of 1917. This was an
nounced by the athletic councili here
today. Ii will be Rush's third year
as head coach at Princeton.
There had been much talk since the
close OF the football season that an
other man would be in charge OF foot
ball at Princeton In 1917. Rush's fall
ure TO win either the Harvard or Yale
games, although Princeton had what
was conceded to be the strongest
team, was disappointing TO Princeton
men. 1t was said by some that his
system was at fault.
IL was the sense OF those in author
ity, however, that Rush had built
upon sound lines, and that he 40
served at least another year with men
who had started football under him.
