Paris Feb 15.-W Warning against the
dual menace of German submarine ac-
tivity in American waters and against
German peace propaganda, which in
reality may be play for time, is be-
ing sounded by American officials who
are conversant with the real situation
at Berlin.
Germany's attempt to negotiate the
issue involved IN the unlimited subma-
rine order through the Swiss legation
at Washington while Gerard was still
in Berlin, is regarded with suspicion by
these officials. The move is frankly
viewed as an attempt to forestall ac-
tion by President Wilson until Germa-
ny can make such disposition of her
submarines as will enable her to best
strike at America in case of war. This
maneuver having failed it was no sur
prise to hear that Germany had repu-
dated reports of her efforts with the
Swiss minister.
The suggestion for negotiations is re-
garded wholly as an expedient for
gaining time while the peace move
ment financed in Germay could get
into action.
Ambassador Gerard is forwarding to
Washington an emphatic warning that
the Overseas News Agency is being
used by Germany in the effort to
mould public opinion in America.
During the past month I can state
positively that the German censor re-
peatedly held up United Press and As
sociated Press messages or advised
correspondents that nothing regarding
submarine warfare-and later, regard
ing delay in the issuance Of passports
could be sent.
An example of the use Germany has
made of the propaganda conducted by
the official news agency was furnished
in the interview of Baron Stumm,
which was sent out by wireless and
which explained that the delay of Ge
rard's departure was due to the neces-
sity for filing passports Gerard was
incensed when the interview came to
his attention.
can state that Gerard was held
from Monday till Saturday against his
will, despite his urgent requests for
permission to leave Berlin.
Weeks ago Gerard vigorously com
planned to the foreign office regarding
the searching OF five American con-
suls at Warnemunde where the wives
of three prominent officials we're late
ly stripped, bathed and examined be-
cause they were suspected of carrying
documents. Because the military au-
thorities are supreme the foreign Of
flee was powerless to heed the com
plant.

ry Zimmerman said to me, "Ackerman,
hope when you arrive IL America you
will work for peace"

den on Thursday evening the fistic
followers throughout the state are

His first 142-pound battle comes on

Because of the fact that referees

never trained before. And on the

BRIG. General
AT ACE OF IT

Wellington, New Zealand, .@1y 10
Freyberg, West Surrey (English)
Regiment, winner Of the Victoria
Cross and the badge Of the Distin-
guished Service Order, is subject of
congratulation in Wellington where he
was born and in all New Zealand. 1t
is summed up in official advices that
Lieutenant Colonel Freyberg recently
was promoted to the rank Of br1gadler
general for services in the field. AS
he is only twenty-seven years old he
is probably the youngest brigadier
general in the British imperial forces.
He is a son of the late James Frey
berg, government timber expert in
New Zealand. He was one of the best
swimmers in New Zealand. At the
beginning of the war he went to Eng
land and enlisted in the West Surrey
Regiment. Later he was in the Allied
defense of Antwerp serving with the
British marines. He was wounded
and returned to England, but he re-
covered in time to take part in the
initial Allied military and naval des-
cent upon the Ga1lipoH Peninsula.
According to an official statement he
displayed conspicuous gallantry on
April 25 during the landing operation
in the Gulf of Xeros, when he swan
ashore towing RATS with flares, and
reconnoitered the enemy's position. He
was in the water more than two hours.
By this feat of daring and swimming
he diverted the attention of the Turks
from the actual place of landing. For
this he was awarded the Distinguished
Service Order badge.
At the battle of the Ancre he was
the hero of the highly successful at
tack by the Naval Division. He was
awarded the Victoria Cross for per-
sonal gallantry in carrying an attack
through the enemy's front system of
twice wounded. He again rallied and
reformed all who were with him and
although unsupported in a very ad-
vanced. position he held his ground
for the remainder of the day and
throughout the night under heavy ar
tillery and machine-gun fire. When
reinforced on the following morning
he organized the attack on strongly
fortified village, led the assault and
captured the village and 500 prison
ers. In this operation he was again
| wounded. This enabled the advanced
objective of the corps to be perma-
nently held, and on this point of ap-
kproach the line was eventually
formed.
When in New Zealand Brigadier
General Freyberg was knowkn among
his iptimates by>the nickname Tiny

POLI'S

The Five Metzettis, probably the
most unique and versatile of all
vaudeville aggregations, will divide
attention on the Poll theatrical bill
today with that charming picture, "A
Son of the Hills in which Antonio
Moreno and Belle Bruce will be fea-
tured. ,.
The Metzetti family are well known
throughout the United States as well
as Europe as the most perfect act
combining the feats of strength with
artistic dramatic and specially enter
tatnment. For many years they have
played New York city and the lead
ing Western theatres. They will not
only be a big surprise to New Eng
land where they have been booked by
s. z. Poll, but will offer an entirely
new creation from their ever active
brains and Drawn.
In the Son of the Hills, the bright
Southern sun has been utilized in its
best effort to get that clarity of Opt
cal vision which is required by cam
eramen for the best results in the
darkenedE houses. The play is that OF
a boy brought up without much add
vantage in the South who by sheer
force of effort and personality pushes
himself to success. There Is much adj
venture and thrill throughout. It is
a typical Kentucky drama and as
such will be refreshing after the long
run of Northern snow themes that
have been offered the public.
Others on the vaudeville section are
The Clarke Brothers ,instrumentalists
of 'renown; Helene Vincent, a pre-
miere coincidence; The OLearys, art
full lads who will draw laughs by
their song and talk, and Lockett &
Brown, who offer song and talk tic
those wishing the most up to date.

is the first Sunday victory for New
York this season, the Yankees hav-

with Jim Bagby for q shut out record,
and turned the tide toward the Yam
KEGS camp.
In the second game the Indians
played rather wobbly ball, and though
the Yankees would not have won any
medals for their efforts they did so
much better than the Cleveland men
that they won with the easy score of
8 to 2. Caldwell, who pitched this
second game. was touched pretty
freely. but he was strong in the need
ed pfnches. !.
Coveleskie was invincible until the
seventh inning of the first game,
when Baker. slammed the. ball into
the right field overflow crowd for a.
double, crossing the plate a minute
later when Miller tapped along the
right foul line for a two-bagger.
