RIGHTS OF AMERICA VIOLATED
But OVERT ACT NOT COMMITTED

Vessel Up to Today Are Before State Depart
ment-Many More Ships Sunk.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 9-Preliminary
reports before the State Department
today upon the sinking Of merchant
vessels without warning by German
submarines contained evidence of
technical violations of American
rights yet the government is holding
to peace until some outrage present.
ing a more clear-cut issue compels
it to act.
Information concerning all ships
that have been torpedoed has been
collected and it was stated officially
that up to today the situation was
not changed.
Special attention was given to the
reports in the case of the sinking Of
the British steamer Turine, in which
an American negro fireman lost his
life, and the case of the California
which was carrying an American, and
was sunk without warning.
President Wilson authorized the an
nouncement that bank deposits of
merchant ships and other private

STILL St WORKING
FOR BASEBALL
Meeting Being Held Today at Green
vile to Organize Cotton States
League-Four Teams.

A meeting is being held at Green
vile today for the purpose of which
is to organize the Cotton States
League, to consist of four ball teams,
Greenville, Clarksdale, lndianola and
Greenwood, with a playing schedule
of three months.
The plan originally started to have
six teams in the circuit, Vicksburg
and Jackson to join with the above
named four, fell through at a meet
ing held in Jackson a few weeks ago
for the purpose of organizing. The
chief cause of the failure Of the first
plan seemed to have been the fear Of
losing money on the venture, the two
southern most teams in the proposed
circuit feeling that they could not
make expenses. ...
If the meeting being held at Green
vile results in the organization Of the
league with the teams named it
should prove a success because of the
compactnes of the circuit. Practically
every place in the league could be
reached via auto and each game would
fined large number Of fans present
from every town in the circuit.
Baseball is a popular sport every
where but especially in the Delta Sec
tion and should the league get start
ed it will in all probability meet with
success, It will be remembered the
great interest that was taken in semi
professional baseball in the Delta last
season. ...

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS.

London, Feb. 9-(By Union Asso-
ciated Press)-Every move between
| the United States and Germany is
being watched with the most intense
interest in Europe. During the past
few days there has been a change in
the tone of several of the newspapers
discussing the situation editorially.
England, on the whole, is less inclin-
ed to criticise President Wilson and
advises the American people to stand
behind him loyalty. Incidentally, It is
known here, that the relations be-
tween England and the United States
may undergo change unless bet
ter understanding is reached on the
shipping situation.
Rich Britons are to be subject to q
new tax. Those who have thus far
failed to realize the urgency Of the
treasury invitation to lend the govern
ment money will get a reminder in
the shape of deduction of the penal
income tax Of ten per cent. for their
next dividends, this being in addition
to the regular income tax, which runs
in many cases as high as twenty-five
per cent. 1t is known that Q very
large amount of these securities own
ed by British subjects has been held
in New York, and this amount has
been considerable increased since the
outbreak Of the war. &
Newspaper men have done their
"bit" during the war, in all Of the
fighting countries. Four Of the best
correspondents in Germany have
covered" the east, west and south.
east fronts for well-known Berlin and
provincial papers have been awarded
the Iron Cross, second class, for their
services to the fatherland. Aside from
one or two authors and special writ
ers, they are the first newspaper men
to be so distinguished.
The appropriation Of 30,000,000
francs to buy traction plows and
other motor farm implements was the
last act of the French Parliament in
1916. The object is to insure the cul-
tivation in 1917 Of all farm land that
was non-producing nj 1915 Or prs.
viously by making up in mechanical
appliances for the lack Of farm and
