Although the Filipino team went down
to second place before the onslaughts
OF China in the last meet, Americans
express confidence that their banner

up the rear in the meet two years ago.
This year Japan's team will num-

British Keep Up Artillery Fire

With the British Armies Afield. May
british aud German forces alike
took breathing space today.
Worn out and cut TO pieces by their
repeated and reckless counter attacks
Of the past few days, the German in
fantry quieted down.
The British, for their part. settled
down TO artillerying. Their guns
roared in uever-cnding chorus. and the
German cannon replied in thunderous
echoeS.N
Guemappe was shclled all day yes.
tcrday-and quite heavily Arleux was
likewise the target for, German projcc'
tiles.
The Germans were palably nervous,
fearing a British attack south of Oppy
and for this reason they were spraying
shells along the entire Oppy .Gavrelle
line. The Germans were particularly
iumpy duriug the night and kept star
shells constantly shooting upward to-
ward the sky, watching carefully any
movement across No Mans Land, while
their shells pounded away at the
British lines.
In only ono spot did the Prussians
counter attack. This was at British
post to the west of Havrineourt The
attack carried them over the British
positions for moment, but they were
driven out, with losses.

TO BLOW UP
WALL Street OFFICE
Then To Cut Wires and
Spread All Manner Of
False Reports

New York, May "details of a wilc
plot to blow up an important Wal
street office, presumably ]. ?. Nor
gan IS, to be followed by tapping tele
graph wires aud spreading false reports
of President Wilson'S assassination and
U-boat raids. were revealed by the po
lice today, following close questioning
of Wolf Hirsh formerly a petty Of
ficer in the German submarine service
Hirsh, with George Neiringer, an
other German, is held on n charge of
having a bomb in his possession. The
police declare he hoped to cause a
" stock panic and profit thereby"
Hirsh, according to the police, de-
clared he was engaged in the German
secret service and that he had "pulled
good stunts" in London and Petr0grad
This is being Investigated.
Examination of the Internal machine
which the men manufactured at Roose-
welt hospital where they were employed,
showed ii to be made of acetic and pic
ric acid and fitted with a Commute
fuse. Hirsh is an expert chemist. He
has been under surveillance for some
time. Officers charge they watched
him experimenting with explosives in
the Roosevelt hospital laboratory.
It is alleged Hirsh and Neiringer plot
ted to cut the Chicago-New York and
Washington-New York telegraph wires
after the blast and send out fake stories
of assassinations and U.boat raids. AS
the plot is so widespread, officers be
heve the men must have aceomplices.
If not taken by department of justice
officials, Hirsh and Neiringer will be
prosecuted on charge of making
bombs, the penalty being seven years.

in this country and then sent to tho
battle fields.
To Be Trained in France
The French argument is that suel
men would have to stand from five tc
seven weeks of battle field training
even then.
There were surface indications today
that plans are already afoot to get GER
tain military regiments ready to star'
for the front very shortly.
New York national guard units are
not considered an impossibillty as the
first to go. Governor Whitman was
summoned to Washington for confer
ence with the administration upon uh'
stated questions.
The question of troops it is believed
and possibly the Irish question were
discussed by British Foreign Secretary
Balfour and President Wilson at TWO
lengthy conferences. ~
Ilans were completed today for the
French mission to leave Thursday lol
a tour in American cities Including
Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis, SPriIis
field, ILL.,, Philadelphia, New YORK
Boston to be visited in the order nam
ed. The mission will return to Washing
ton and continue its labors. =,
The Cuban war commission will w
received today by Secretary Lansing
and probably by President Wilson MI Mih
lister Cespedes will present them Con,
ferences with Secretaries Baker an"

MILITARY MEN OPPOSE
SENDING TROOPS OVER
Plan However Grows in Favor
New York Glardsmen
May Be First Sent
BY George Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, May 1.-The Frencl
commission argument urging tha
troops, possibly militia, be sent within
six weeks to the European battlefields
is having its effect at the white house
1T was generally believed today.
Officials still are canny when the
subject is mentioned. Some are known
however, strongly to favor the plan
while Others are now only passively
where once they were actively opposed
to it.
In congress, the idea is spreading
fast and if this growth continues az
rapidly during the next week as it has
developed during the past few days
congressional pressure may force the
plan into operation.
The question of sending troops to
Europe quickly, remains the biggest
yet to be settled.
That it will be settled within a day
or two and an announcement made as
soon as practicable is taken for grant
ed.
Perhaps the strongest opposition to
the plan of sending troops immediate
~ IS found among some high military
men, who hold to their belief that AM
erica should first complete her military
organization before detaching even
small units for service abroad These
men are said to feel, however, that if
the French really want the American
flag and American soldiers on their
fighting front, for sentimental and NOR
al reasons, they might be turned to that
view Others even are said to be in
cllned more and more to French argu-
ments that Americans who might be
sent Immediately to instruction camps
behind the lines and in sound of the
guns, would be worth more than Ameri,
cans trained for six months or more

Welsh-Kilbane Tonight.

New York, May 1.-Freddie Welsh
and Johnny Kilbane, rival champions,
who meet here tonight in a scheduled
10-round bout, have chance to eth
er elevate boxing to prime place in
this state or give it another kick toward
the gate.
1t probably is up to Welsh to make
the fight. If he decides to carry the
bout to Kilbane, it will be good scrap.
Otherwise there will be a lot of disap-
pointed fight fans. A fancy dancing
match is the logical guess.
Welsh expects to enter the ring at
about 1873. Kilzane probably will
weigh about l30.

BABE RUTH LOOMS AS
LEADING SOUTHPAN
IS ClaSSed by Expert As Best
Pitcher In Either Of
Big Leagues
By H. G. Hamilton.
lUnited Press staff correspondent }

| q nited Iress stair correspondent
New York, May babe Ruth, Gle
rhautiue off,hander Of the Red Sox, to
day looms as a worthy successor TO IN,
title of "best southpaw."
Ruth's effectiveness for the Boston
team last year and his imemdiatC
plunge into victorious work this spring
stamps him as a real pitcher-a finished
produce and none of those fly-by night
young men, who pitch n good year and
then cease to be good hurlers.
He stands now ca the crest of five
won games. \ zero alone occupies the
lost side of the column in his average,
\ quintet of five victories in 4 row
have becu placed to his credit and the
season still must find its best going for
the FINGERS.
Ruth probably is the best pitcher
right now in either Of the big leagues.
One cannot. of course, discount the
worth of Grover Alexander, nor of Wal
ter johnson, Jim Scott or half a dozen
other stars. Figuring from clean values,
however, Ruth ranks with any Of them
and his head just at present maintains
a skyline all its own.
Aside from his pitching Ruth is con
siderable of a stick wieldcr Good pitch
ing by the opposition knows no terrors
for him. He can hit 'em far and wide
right along with some of the games
most prominent ash followers. His two
hits yesterday figured in the downfall
of the Athletics.
1t was Ruth who last fall hurled him
self TO glory in the longest world S Sc.
ries game ever played and his work was
almost perfect. He stood the test then
and he is standing it now.
