SPEED BOATS ARE FASTER.

Although the miIe-a-minute boat
was considered more or less of a
dream until recent years, this speed
has been surpassed in the past two
seasons in actual racing and now the
standard has been set at better than
seventy miles per hour. The new
records, which were made in tests
against time, were clicked at Lake
George where late last month the
twenty eight foot hydroplane Whip
Po'-Will, owned by an officer OF the
American Power Boat association,
covered a measured mile in 51.35 sec
onds or at an average Of 70.15 miles
per hour. Six one-mile dashes were
made the first day. and the average
was 64.74 miles per hour while the
average of the second days tests was
6S.S9 miles per hour with two OF the
mile spirits showing an average of
better than 20 miles per hour.

The memorandum was state
ment for the reasons for the new
declaration and was clearly intend
ed to point out that Germany
withdrew and did not violate her
submarine pledge to this country"
The administration announce
ment by Secretary Lansing that a
clear 4tatement of the position of
the United States would be delayed
overnight led to the conclusion that
some diplomatic communication to
communicate to Germany might
precede the break in diplomatic ne
gotiations, if the break was decided
upon.
Diplomatic circles believed that
this course was probable and that a
note somewhat in the nature of an
ultimatum was contemplated or al
ready despatched to Berlin.
/ was pointed out that the ad-
ministration announcement of its
decisisn must also be withheld
pending the actual development Of
an American ship sunk by the sub
marine fleet,
On this point all Washington was
nervous tonight. It recognized that
the situation so full of explosive
material, might be set off without a
moments warning by the sinking of
a great trans-A tlantic liner loaded
with American citizens.
With the reports of half dozen
ships already sunk in the submarine
campaign in the twenty-four hours
since it became effective the admin
istration saw clearly the dangers of
delay.
But one ray of hope that break
might be averted was apparent in
administration circles tonight. 1t
was the suggestion that the Presi-
dent by some stroke might force
peace proposals to the front again.
No one had the temerity to sug-
ccst what move might accomplish
this result, however.
It was clear that such move
would be welcomed by Germany and
it was even intimated at the German
embassy that the only thing which
could halt the new submarine cam
paign would be the calling of a
peace conference.
It was admitted that there was
little likelihood of peace coming out
of the present crisis Immediately
however.
In this connection attention was
called to a half hour conference be-
tween the President and DIR. Pau
Ritter, the Swiss minister, at the
White House this evening. Neither
would discuss the conference, which
was arranged some time before the
German note was received.
