Wins Another

The baseball game between the
Mohami team of Virginia and the
local team last Sunday proved
disastrous for the visitors as the
locals trimmed the visitors by a
score of 6 to 2.
The game from the start to the
finish was in favor of the locals
and at no time were they in danger
of defeat. Several good plays was
made by both teams-also some
poor ones.
Schmirler and Lambert were the
batteries for the local team and did
the stellar work.
Next Sunday the Bull team will
cross bats with the Ely team on
the local grounds and good game
is promised. This will be the
third game between Ely and Buhl
this season. the Ely team winning
one and the Bull team the other.
Turn out if you want to see good
baseball.

5l AMERICANS ARE
 HELD IN GERMANY
State Department Officially NO- tified of Men Captured by the German Commerce Raid CT MOewe.

Washington, March 31.-Official dispatches from Copenhagen today confirmed reports that two American seamen had arrived there from Ger many with the story that some 50 others taken in raids by the commerce raider Moewe were held in detention camps. Reports from many sources have convinced officials here that Americans captured on the British steamer Esmeraldas are held No reply has come to an inquiry sent through the Spanish foreign office a week ago as to whether there were Americans among the crews of the vessels captured.
 Dispatches from Minister Egan to- day told of two seamen reaching Copenhagen. They were Alexander Meyer and Jack Benson, taken from the Norwegian bark Staut. They said that in addition to the 50 men from the Esmeraldas the Germans are detaining one from the steamer Brecknorshire. All, they said, are in a detention camp at Westphalia. The two were released because they were on an unarmed ship.
 This government, it is considered certain, will make a vigorous demand for the release of the American sail OTIS. In releasing the 59 American seamen taken into Germany on the prize ship Yarrowdale, the German government announced it was taking that action because the men did not know when sailing that Germany had declared all armed merchantmen war ships.
 Although the dispatch as received gave the name of the ship from which most of the Americans were taken as the Elysium Meraldi it was thought il was an error in transmission and that | Esmeraldas was meant.
