 Elkus Unheard From
 It develops that no message has been received at the state department since the break with Germany from either Ambassador Elkus in Constan- tinople or from Consul General Mur- phy in Sofia who cared for American interests throughout Bulgaria. Cables to and from both points must go thru Vienna but officials have 10 intima- tion as to whether they are held up there or by the local Bulgarian and Turkish authorities.

 Heretofore appeals to Germany have been successful in instances where it was desired to bring pressure on Tur- key. but it's employment now would be embarrassing if not out of the ques tion.
 It was expected after the cabinet meeting that full reports on the treat ment of German sailors on warbOunG ships was awaited so as to make cer- tain that no subordinate official eS- ceeded his authority in dealing with the ships or their crews. The gov ernment's instructions have been that legal technicalties should be avoided. This has been done at all ports of the continental United States and where officials in the Philippines and else where have undertaken to guard against the ships becoming menaced to navigation. orders have been issued to confine such efforts strictly to sur veillanee with action only when es- sential.

Pitchers Are Worrying New York
 Manager.

Baseball managers are certainly having their troubles this year. In one case the infield is weak in an other the outfeld. With another both may be good, but the stick york is bad, and so on. Trouble with the pitching staff seems to be chronic and universal. Theer is John McGraw, for instance, who is get ting grey worrying about his noundsmen. Perritt and Tesreau Ire both in poor physical condi- tion. Benton slumps every once in a while, Sallee is fairly good and the burden of the work falls on Schupp and Anderson. These men can be counted on to hold out for long time to come, but sooner or later will crack under the strain, if there is no relief.

Real Reason Why Darcy Refused
 to Join Brtain's Colors.

Why did Les Darcy shun the idea of fighting for England? Was il physical fear? Hardly anyone whc could battle like the Maitland won der could be called a coward. Here is the real reason, as told by the late fighter to a Columbus, O., man Years ago the head of the Darcy family lived in Ireland. His politi. cal beliefs offended the English and he was summarily banished to Au- stralia, which was then little more than penal colony. Here, away from the kith and kin, the youth full Leslie grew to manhood and learned the story of the wrong done his family. With no hope of his people ever being allowed to return to their native bogs, it is no won- der that Les did not want to fight for the nation which had exiled his father.
 But while he would not fight, he did not shirk altogether, but went over the island giving exhibition bouts which netted the Red Cross and other societies large sums of

Offers S1.OOO To Meet Ertle.

A human torpedo, small in slZe but with ample power to sink any number of alleged fyweights or bantams, will bob up in the City of Churches soon and all of Brooklyn s fight fans will rise as one man and exclaim: "Welcome home, Zulu Kid!"
 This diminutive piece of fighting machinery went to Hot Springs, Ark, about month ago and was
 in anything but good condition.
 He recently had come in contact
 with one Frankie Burns, with the
 result the little Zulu experienced the
 blissful sensation of the twilight
 sleep" while the third man in the

 knew there was something wrong,
 and he had heard of training fla
 cilities at Hot Springs, so to the
 Arkansas Spa he flew and told the
 bath attendants to 'go to it." Three
 weeks later he was seen working out in the gymnasium of the bath
 house boxing with some of the To- gal boys, and then one of the fight clubs matched him with Jimmy Cur tis, a fellow townsman.
 The Zulu Kid took on the bout to ascertain if his staying powers had returned and the way he went through that mill convinced him md his friends that he was fit in every sense of the word The Zulu md his manager did their best to get a bout with Johnny Ertle. Ed lie Barnsback, manager for the Hot Springs club, offered Mike Me Nulty, manager for Ertle, 40 per cent of the receipts for bout be- tween Ertle and the Zulu, but Me Nulty sidestepped. McNulty also declined to permit Ertle to box Ed lie Coulon or meet Nate Jackson Ertle has had no bout since Febru- Try.
 "If Ertle will box me twenty ! 'ounds to decision I'll make him a present of $~000," declared the Zu- h. Hot Springs put me on my feet lgain. When l came to Hot Springs
 couldn't tie my own shoes, but the paths and gymnasium facilities have lone wonders for me. I am going pack East and wade through some oi he little fellows in and around New York and l would like another crack ! 1t Frankie Burns, tOO.'

Nation Is UnWittingly Serving the Huns by Close Proximity

BOSTON, June 30-It is the opin- ion of traveller who has arrived in the United States after several months in Germany, and who has had intimate experience with sub marine commanders, that Spain is dnwittingly serving as a submarine base for the Germans who fled from Portugal when that country entered the war. The proximity of the Span ish coast to British waters and the entrance to the Mediterranean lends itself to the purposes of submarine commanders.

Two Men Claim St. Louis Fans.

Two Men Clam St. Lotus Fans.
 Down in St. Louis the baseball bugs have a diversion that keeps in terest popped up regardless of how the Brownies and Cardinals are far ing in the pennant races.
 To begin with. St. Louis is the hottest city in the big league, for the weather down there is generally torrid from the first of June until September fades away. But St. Louis is also hot place as a base ball center, and any time the Cards or Browns are tearing along at a winning pace the fans go point blank mad. If the two St. Louis teams are in the dumps St. Louis bugs keep buzzing just the same.
 And two crack young ball players are doing giants share in keep ing the bugs tuned up.
 These two youthful prodigies of the diamond are George Sisler and Roger Hornsby, of the Browns and Cards, respectively.
 They are both stars of the first water. They are both versatile players ,inasmuch as they can be shifted from one position to another and still deliver the same brilliant brand of baseball and they are both idolized in St. Louis.
 What does the race for a batting championship between Speaker and Cobb amount to in comparison to the race between Sisler and Horns by for the honor of being classed as St. Louis greatest ball player Ask any good St. Louis fan and you will get your answer when he swells up with the assertion that Sisler and Hornsby do not have to uncov- CT their domes to any ball player
 in the business.
 That's the way they feel about it in St. Louis, and they have a per feet right to it, too. There isn't a baseball magnate in either big league who wouldn't plank down in the neighborhood of $25 ,000 to ESQ., 900 for either of these players Barney Dreyfus would part with a huge wad of dough to get Sisler and promise to lay off Garry Herr. man the rest of his days if he could only land the Brownie star. Charley Weeghman would almost trade his string of hasheries for Hornsby, and the rest of the mags would dig down into the bins of big denominations for the title to either player. | Let Detroit have it's Cobb; Cleve. iand it's Speaker; Washington its Johnson Philadelphia the peerless Aelx, and Chicago it's Jacksons and Collinses. St. Louis isn't big jeal. ous-St. Louis has two of the great est young ball players uncovered ir the past ten years
 And don't think for a second that Sisler and Hornsby aren't worth their weight in gold to the Browns and Cards, for the player who i! set up as an idol is the biggest as set ball club can have, and St Lolls idolizes both of these lads

AMERICAN HOSPITAL
CORPS IS ORGANIZED
Nurses and Doctors Begin Work on
French Front.
BY DANIEL DILLON.
STAN Correspondent of the Interna-


Stan Correspondent of the lnterna-
tional News Service.
American Field Headquarters in
France, Aug. .S.-The control of the
American hospital units located at
various points within automobiling dis
tance from the permanent camp is
now we'll organized. Thus far there
has been no serious case at any of
the hospitals and no epidemic. The
American nurses. girls Of some of the
best American families, are entering
upon their work with enthusiastic
zeal. They earn the hearty gratitude
of the soldiers, who in every way show
their appreciation for the treatment.
The French patients, a few of whom
are being cared for by the American
units, are enthusiastic over the con-
sideration shown them.
The weather was cloudy today, but
that does not interfere with the daily
routine. The soldiers are drilling in
the field as usual and are slipping
laughingly over the wet terrain. The
men have reached a point in their
development where they are clamoring
for the more advanced character of
offensive and defensive tactics. The
troops are in the best of spirits. They
sing at work. Popular American airs
are continually heard. The barber
shop quartets are also very much In
evidence.

TELLS BRIGHT SIDE
OF SOLDIERS Life
John Barrett Gives Interesting Talk
to Student Officers.

That life on and behind the battle
lines of France has its brighter side
was brought out strongly by John
Barrett, director Of the Pan-American
Union, last night, in addressing the
student officers In the Riding Hall at
Fort Myer. The exercises were Incl
dent to their commencement celebra-
ton. Mr.. Barrett was introduced by
Col. Fenton, commandant of the camp.
Music was furnished by the regimen
tai band. Director Barrett. who based
his remarks upon first-hand observa-
tions Of actual conditions at the front,
said in part:
'Only very small percentage OF the
men at the so-called front are kept
in the trenches longer than a few
days at a time. At regular and fire.
quent intervals they enjoy rests be-
/ hind the lines, and a certain percent
age of the men are furloughed occa-
sionally to visit London or Paris.
I'm the rest camps just behind the
battle lines there are arrangements
for permitting the men to engage in
sports, games, amateur theatricals
and other diversions. The men are
well-fed and receive their mail with
regularity.
$50 much has been written and
spoken of the terrible phases of war
and the battle front, which frightens
parents, discourages enlistment and
Inspires men to seek exemption. that
something should be said of the
brighter side.
Those actually killed do not average
one in ten, and pot more than three
in ten are severely wounded, while a
surprisingly large percentage Of those
injured in battle recover and return
to their regiments. Care OF the wound
ed has been reduced to a science.
Cases OF real cowardice and desertion
are so rare as to excite comment, and
although the fearful strain of the bat
, tie front affects adversely the nerves
; and strength of many men, the grea,
majority who escape wounds remain
in splendid physical condition. and
will not come out of the war as men,
tai and bodily wrecks, as often pre-
dicted."
