1t appears that Bennic Leonard Is
not a lieutenant in the army nor is
he in any real sense in the army at
all. The pictures published Of Leon
ard IN uniform have been regarded on
many sides as proof that the light
weight champ had been given COM
mission and would abandon all his
boxing for the duration of the war
But the suit he wore was merely the
unofficial uniform given newspaper
correspondents or any other civilians
who are associated with the army,
but not in it. Leonard's salary as q
boxing instructor is the same as
Lieutenants but beyond that there is
no resemblance. Leonard and his
manager are to be blamed for permit
ting the impression to go forth that
he had enlisted If they did not actual
ly spread 1t. Leonard's statement at
the time he won the lightweight crown
that he was going to join the army
Immediately, has kept him in hot
water ever since. Now that he has
made a half-hearted stall to join he
will come in for more sneers than
ever before
The National league is said to be
greatly Inundated over the Giants
failure to win the big series, the
chief worry being that it has been
outclassed for all time. The Giants
certainly were way out in front of any
other talent in the older league and
the White Sox were able to win their
pennant only after some warm battl-
ing. This seems to argue quite con-
vincingly that the American league
has the National league beat to pieces
So the National league fans are sobb-
ing. What's more the American league
has won by far the biggest percentage
of worlds series in the past. How
ever. short series doesn't always
prove everything and it is likely to be
some while before the American
league is so far ahead of the National
that il viii disdain to meet the older
league in big contest.

with swift, staggering strokes. as 4
fulfiIlment of Germany's announced
determination to end the war quickly
She counts on the operations of an
unheard of number of submarines to
deliver blows to bring England to her
knees within sixty days. one German
official here predicted today the war
| would be over in a month.
! Conveyed to the world as her
answer to the refusal of the entente
allies to talk peace, Germany'9 latest
warning says.
From February 1, 1917, within
barred zones around Great Britain,
France, italy and in the eastern Med.
iterranean, all sea traffic forthwith
will be opposed.
Renewal of Blockade.
IT virtually is a renewal and an ex.
tension of the celebrated submarine
blockade of the British isles pro-
claimed on February 4, 1915. and
which became effective February is,
1915. Under it ships were sunk with.
out warning until Germany abandoned
the practice and gave her assurances,
III the Sussex case, to abide by inter-
national law. The Lusitania, Falaba,
and scores Of other ships we're sunk
under the decree.
American citizens and American
ships are warned from entering the
war zones, although certain precau-
tlonary measures are suggested for
distinguishing American steamers not
carrying cOntraband, according to
German list. These conditions in al
most the same form were rejected
when proposed by Germany early in
the negotiations over the Lusitania.
At that time Germany proposed to
guarantee Immunity from attack to
certain specified passenger ships, sail
ing on prescribed courses, with agreed
distinguishing marks and carrying no
contra band. President Wilson reject
ed the proposal promptly on the
5round that the United States was
contending only for its rights
The new German proclamation
brushes aside all the perplexing col
lateral issues which have surrounded
the submarine controversy and brings
II back to the point where it was left
at the conclusion of the Sussex case.
Todays announcement, reciting the
refusal of Germanys enemies to dis
ouss her peace proposals and refer
ring to the starvation blockades, says:
Thus a new situation has sprung
up which forces Germany also to new
decisions

men, was seen in the Sierras near Car

miles northeast of El Vale (San
Buena Ventura) and fifty miles south
west of Juarez, according to a mes

in a northerly direction when seen by
Carranza scouts leading his band of
fifty men.
Salazar is reported to have broken
with Villa recently and to have taken
part of Villas command to the
mountains with him. His men were
believed by Carranza officials to have
been the ones who opened fire upon
the Mexican Central passenger train
near Moctezuma station yesterday
while the train was en- route to Juarez.
The shots were returned by the troop
escort.
Villa himself was reported unoffic-

MESSAGE SUMMONED
George A, Ellis, Now III in
Georgia, to Appear and Tell
of Warning Telegram to
Wall Street Spectators,

New York, Jan. 31.-FranCis A.
Connolly, the Washington broker and
partner of r. w. Boiling, a brother
in-law of President Wilson, who on
December 20, gave f.. +. Hutton &
Co, New York brokers, an accurate
resume of the presidents peace note
ten hours before it was published
failed in two and half hours OF
grilling examination by the congress
sional inquisitorial committee today to
name the exact source of his informa
ton. He specifically exonerated Boil
ing, however, from all blame for the
leak" on the note.
TO the best of his knowledge, Mr..
Connolly smilingly told the committee
repeatedly his advices to the Hutton
firm were based principally on "gos-
sip and rumor" he gathered in his
office, and deductions he had made
from a speech he heard President
Wilson deliver at the Gridiron cluo
dinner in Washington on December 8.
In vain did Sherman L. Whipple
counsel for the committee, and all its
members, six of whom are attorneys,
attempt to draw from Mr.. Connolly
the name of single person who gave
him any of the information he had
forwarded to New York.
Still on the Stand.
Connolly's examination was unfin-
ished when the committee adjourned
tonight. He still was radiant and
eager apparently, to help. but the
committee, according to certain MEM
bers, were somewhat at a loss as to
what angle his Interrogation should
take when ii is resumed tomorrow.
Touching on Bolling's partnership,
Connolly declared that the fact that
he was a relative of the president had
not influenced him the slightest in in
viting Boiling to become a member of
his firm. Asked if he had consulted
with Boiling in preparing his resume,
he asserted that he had not talked
with Boiling about the note either or
December 20, or any other time, untk
after Boiling had testified before the
committee in Washington two weeks
ago.
Representative Bennett took up witt
the witness the text of his note,
phrase by phrase, in an effort to get
an explanation as to how he had hap
pened to use language which re-
sembed that of statesmanship," but
without success.
Can't Remember Details.
Don't you think that this is an
extraordinarily prophetic resume of
the presidents note?" he asked.
Connolly replied that he did not re-
call the note well enough to answer.
George A. Ellis, Jr., who drafted
the Hutton warning to it's correspond
ents from Connolly's peace note tip"
was summoned from near Savannah
Ga. today, to appear before the COM
mittee without delay. He is expected
to testify Friday.
Hutton. in his testimony today,
blamed Secretary Lansing's verge of
war" statement of December 81, more
than the presidents note, for the
slump in stocks.
