 Before the war there was but enc cable direct from Germany to America. , This cable was owned by German
 company and reached America via the Azore Islands I endeavored to obtain permission for the Western Union com pany to land a cable in Germany, but the opposition of the German company. which did not desire to have it's mon opoly interfered with caused the ap- plications of the Western Union to be definitely pigeonholed.

With Colonel House at Potsdam

With Colonel House at Potsdam
 In May, 1914, Colonel House and his beautiful wife arrived to pay us visit in Berlin. He was, of course, anxious this was arranged by the emperor in viting the colonel and me to what is called the Schippen-f fest" at the new palace at Potsdam.
 For many years-in fact since the days of Frederick the Great-the learn ing Lehr) battalion. composed of picked soldiers from all the regiments of Prussia. has been quartered at Pots dam. On a certain day in April this battalion has customarily been given a dinner at which the men eat white rolls (Schrippe) instead of the usual black bread This feast has been car ried on from these older days and has become quite a ceremony.
 Colonel House at Potsdam
 The colonel and I motored to Pots dam arrayed in dress suits and waited in one of the salons of the ground floor of the new palace. Finally the em- peror and the empress and several of the princes and their wives and the usual dignitaries of the emperor g household arrived. The colonel was presented to the royalties, and then a divine service was held in the open air at one end of the palace. The empress and princesses occupied large chairs, the emperor stood with his sons behind l,., +l,a Qr-in T omit Q ri of the court. The Lehr battalion was drawn up behind There was a large band and the choir boys from the Der lin cathedral. The service was very impressive, not less so because of a great Zeppelin which lowered over oul heads during the whole of the service
 After divine service. the Lehr bat talion marched in review and then food and beer were served in long arbors constructed in front of the palace While the men were eating, the em- peror and empress and princes, passed among the tables, speaking to the sold iers. We then went to the new palace where in the extraordinary hall stud ded with curious specimens of mineral: from all countries long table forming three sides of d square was set To about sixty persons. Colonel House and I sat directly across the table iron the emperor, with General Falken- hayn between us. The emperor was il very good mood, and at one time talking across the table, said to me tha the colonel and I, in our black dres Suits looked like a couple of crows that we were like two undertakers at

Brilliant Pitchers Battle
 Won By Dobbs' Pels
Ralph Comstock Makes Bow Baron Twer and Works We'll Kid Caton Commits Costly Bobble-Large Crowd
 Witnesses the Game-Smith in Rare Form
By JOHN L. SULLIVAN

New Orleans, June 3.-(SpeciaI) battle between ''Pop Boy" Smith and Ralph Comstock, MoIesworth's new pitcher from the Louisville American association team, today, when Kid Ca- ton, in his anxiety to throw out knaupp in the third inning, erred on the srOunder. The cotton top was brought around the paths with the only run of the game on EdmondsOn's twb-bagger to right field.
 Both Smith and Comstocl were in rare form. Smith allowed but three hits, and should have only one charged against him if the fielding had been fast. As it was Baker and Knaupp mussed up two plays and the ball went as a hit both l times Comstocll gave up but five hits, the only extra baser being Edmondson's two-base clout. However, he was trifle wild at times and walked four men. Smith walked but one, Webb, the first man to face him.
 BIG CROWD ATTENDS A tremendous crowd was in Heinemann pdfh, nearly every dNdllaDle seat DellS taken. Two battalions. of the First Louisiana infantry paradei the grounds and drilled before the game and the sol dier boys lined up alongside the fence and before the bleaehers on both sides of the field during the game, This re- suited in the rule being established that I a ball hit into the crowd would go for two bases only and that a passed ball l into the crowd would count for an ad- vance of two sacks
 As result, New Orleans came near to l getting a second run, but Molesworth s quick thinking saved this. Barbare had singled in the seventh, He was playing off first and Comstock snapped throw 1 to Doc Johnston which got away and rolled through the soldiers. Barbare walked to third. Bluhm struck out. but
 1aworth dropped the ball and Barbare was held by quick return from John ston. Higgins was at bat and on the squeeze. Dobbs sent Barbare for the plate on the pitch.
 Higgins bunted few feet in front of the plate, Comstock grabbing the ball
 on the run and throwing to Webb in | time to double Barbare. After Webb
 walked, in the first, Birmingham got no

Atlanta, June 3.-Despite the sudden advance of the New Orleans Pelcans, who reversed their recent road form and won six out of seven games this week, Atlanta breaking even in series of eight contests, managed to retain the lead In the Southern association race by mar row margin.
 Except for the second game of dou- ble header in Nashville Wednesday when the Pelican hurlers were pounded for p hits and 19 runs the New Orleans team apparently back in early season shape, took games from Nashville, Memphis, Mobile and Birmingham with little diff ficulty.
 With Atlanta in first place and Bir- mingham in fourth both scheduled to play the Pelicans in New Orleans during the coming week, the early season lead ership may be decided in a somewhat deh- nte manner within the next few days

BAG PUNCHING
By BILLY SUNDAY
 (FamOus Evnngelist)

Big league ball players call frothy conversation bag punching-p probably because most of the sports who follow this indoor exercise work their wings as if hammering a punching bag-a good term.
 Bag punching never got anyboG- any thing or anywhere, and most of tne birds addicted to the pasiime have brows so low the tears run down the backs of their neclls if they ever cry
 Bag punching won't even collect a vocabulary for you, because the bunch you get for an audience can't field words over two syllables long
 You take these bag punchers, and you will find they are generally Iticular about the acoustics. They nest around barrooms, pool parlors, cigar stores, and tango joints.
 If you have an hour to spare, don t stir up the germs in the atmosphere with cheap conversation in one of these hangouts. It doesn't pay either to listen to it or to spill it. I'd rather hear a phonograph, because you can shut that off when you want to, and the fellows that talk into it get paid for the job.

The man or boy who spends his days doping out the destiny of the world generally couldn't buy enough spaghetti for a shoe lace for an Oxford tie II spaghetti sold for 10 cents a mile
 Keep plugging. boys. That's the only system. You can't talk your way into a good job unless you show results, al though some sports seem to think that the world owes them living and they can slip on a banana peel and land In a soft berth You can't do that any more than you can get into heaven on a police card But many a man has talked himself out or a good job.
 Results are what count. Don't absorb work like quinine-in capsule form Take off your coat and tear into what ever you are doing. Don't be afraid of the size of the dose.
 Nobody ever played a great symphony on a mouth organ. Don't expect to get rich over night or you'll invest your change in a scheme to sell wrist watches to armless soldiers.
 Put the punch in your work
 Don't waste it on the conversational l bag.

Birmingham's slump indicated in the loss of six games out of eight forced the Barons to surrender third place to Chattanooga. The Lookouts played bril- liant ball until Saturday when they lost a double header to Nashville, and were defeated again today by the Volunteers. During the week Chattanooga won five and lost four, while Nashville won four out Of seven.
 The Mobile Gulls. even in the face of the fact that the league management has allowed them to exceed the player and salary limit to bolster up the team, con- tinued to play in hard luck. The Gulls lost todays game to Atlanta, to 0, in IS innings, ending the week with a sin gle victory in seven games.
 The Littles Rock Travellers who played two tie games during the week. a to 5 contest with Mobile on Thursday and a 16-inning 1 to 1 affair with Memphis to- day, won four out of five, while Memphis broke even in six games.
