AMERICANS SAFE

FOR THE PRESENT
BERLIN APATHETlc AND FAIR
TREATMENT PROMISED
DURING WAR
tRy Associated Press,

BERLIN. April 6.-Though most
of the papers continue unfriendly in
their comment and criticisms of the
presidents speech. the government
has not taken any official notice
of 1t, but 1t is expected to reply la
ter to certain historical features.
The public is apathetic to the
crisis.
Americans have not been subject
ed to unpleasant incidents. The for
eign office declares no change is
contemplated in the governments
attitude toward Americans or Amer
lean property. Citizens will be treat
ed as neutrals and allowed to leave
or stay, even after state of war
is declared by the United States
unless different treatment is accord
ed German citizens in the United
States.
Americans are leaving daily. Prob
ably there are several thousand in
Germany, but many have been here
SO long that they are more German
than American.

PARIS, April 6-This was Amer

parliamentary manifestation and
the great display of the stars and
stripes throughout the capital. the
municipal councils met in cities,
both large and small, and passed
resolutions acclaiming the United
States.
The crowded subway cars were
more lively than any time since
the war began with general con
versation about the new American
ally. Knots of soldiers and civilians
in front of all cafes and at all street
corners discussed the great event
with manifest satisfaction. News
papers containing American develop

appearance of the American flag
at windows in different parts of the
city multiplied rapidly as the day
advanced and soon the available sup
ply was exhausted.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April e.
During the debate in the house of
representatives Heflin, of Alabama,
Democrat, bitterly criticised Repre-
sentative Kitchin, declaring 1t was
humiliating to the Democrats and
that if he himself had made such
speech he would have followed it
up by resigning from Congress. Some
Kisses came from the Democratic
side and Mr.. Heflin said they were
from those who we're for the kaiser.
Representative Sloan. of Nebraska,
Republican, declared the sober sec
ond thought of the American people,
including Congress, is being felt,
and that ten days delay of the vote
would defeat the resolution in its
present shape.
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin, Republican, said he would sup
port the resolution because not to do
so would mean that we will submit
to Germany warning on us without
using force to prevent It,"
Chairman Flood, in charge of the
resolution. sought an agreement to
have the committee of the whole
rise at O'Clock and report the res
olution in the house, with view
to early action. There was immedi-
ate opposition.
Speaker Clark said everybody
ought to have a right to speak and
the house should stay in session un-
til early hours of the morning or
all night, If necessary. Mr.. Flood
then withdrew his request and the
speeches we're resumed.
Representative Gardner, Republi-
can, Of Massachusetts,, said the Unit
ed States is not going to war for
200 murdered Americans. but for
the rights Of man.
"The south and north" said he,

Representative Heflin to circulate
petition in the house to secure
support for his declaration that ma
iority leader Kitchin should resign
He also asked his colleague to prove
himself consistent by enlisting as a
private in the army.
Interchanges between the two Ala
bamans we're made to the accom-
paniment of applause from the cham

to get recognition, insisted on reply
ing, shouting that he would resign
and fight for his country. Burnett

roars OF the members and the pound
ing of the gavel by Representative
Fitzgerald until the sergeant at arms
produced the mace, symbol of the
authority of the house and compell-
ed him to take his seat.
Shortly before nine o'clock Repre-
sentative Mann, the Republican lead
er, took the floor to support the
resolution. He praised the courage
Of those opposing, but said there
was nothing for Congress to do but
stand by the president.

to rim it's brilliancy. Consider the case of Napoleon Lajoie, one-time idol of Cleveland, American League hero and general swatsmith extra ordinary. It's more than twenty years ago now that the bludgeon of the hefty Frenchman began to at tract big league attention. Larry, of course, is not in the majors any more, but he is still whaling the ball.
 Latest averages on hitters of the International League show that handsome Larry is larruping the ball at the dizzy clip of .361. Duffy of Montreal is hitting 1882 and leading the league. But Duffy has been at bat only 6S times, whereas Lajoie has played in full 94 games. League leading honors, therefore, really belong to Big Nap" And the heavy walloping of the French man isn't escaping the scrutiny of big league scouts either.
 "As early as month ago it was common gossip that some two or three big league clubs are after Larry's services for next season. It is almost as sure as taxes that Larry will be back under the big tent"

 When a champion does show any superiority he generally shows it for an indefinite period. King, Pener- gast, Staples and Randall each have won their respective State titles .hree times in succession and Pen lington won in 1914, 1916 and this year and was runner-up in 1915.
 Several shooters who tried and tailed will be back on the firing line 'or another chance. John Jahn won he championship in 1914 and 1915, md was runner-up last year, is again champion. Charles H.

BENNY LEONARD POPULAR CHAMP.

Little Benny Leonard, king of the lightweights, enjoys visions of greater opportunities for fame and fortune than any boy who has ever worn the lightweight crown.
 The reason is Leonard's great pop ularity, which has come to him be- cause of his methods as guardian of the title. Leonard has proven to the fistic world that he is a real champion. He has a knockout punch and he is willing to meet any boy in the world. He doesn't wrangle and dicker for unreasonable purses, and he doesn't attempt to detract from the fighting regulations of any of his challengers by refusing to meet them in the ring.
 Of course, his knockout victory over Johnny Kilbane has been the outstanding feature. He won more praise and approval through knock ing out the featherweight champion than he got for beating Freddie Welsh, and promoters in all parts of the country are swamping him with offers that date ahead far as Janu- ary 1.
 The purses offered to Leonard for bouts from six to twenty rounds have been many, yet the lowest bid he has received has been purse of $8,0OO for another bout in Phila- delphia with some lightweight bat tier who can be classed as a real contender. If Leonard is permitted to fill all the engagements that have been held forth to him he will earn in the neighborhood of $10O,000 be- fore the first of the year.

TY COBB EARNS HIS BIG SALARY

Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the high est salaried baseball star in the pro- fession. Cobb is drawing $2O,O0O a year from the Detroit club, and he is earning the money. Not only is he the best player in the game, but also he is drawing large crowds wherever the Detroits appear. Cobb is leading both major leagues in batting and probably will not be ov- erhauled by Speaker. Sisler. or any of the American League stickers. The Georgia peach will be 31 years old next December, and as he takes excellent care of his physical condi- tion, he probably will continue to receive a princely salary from the owners of the Detroit club for sev- eral more seasons. Cobb is said to be worth $2O0.OO0. This is his thirteenth year with the Tigers.
