WANT $1,000 FOR
THE OPENING GAME
Baseball Officials Contemplate Selling
1900 Tickets at 81
Each

At the meeting of the officers of
the Martinsburg baseball club and
the executive committee held last
night in the council chamber, steps
were taken for the opening of the
season here, which will take place
some time during the middle of May.
1t was decided to put on sale 1904
tickets for the opening game, to be
sold at one dollar each. This would
give the club good start, and would
make baseball success. Those in
charge contemplate offering prizes to
the one selling the most tickets, in or
der to make the sellers hustle. The
tickets will be put on sale tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-Prelimi-
nary reports OF the sinking OF mer-
chantmen contained evidence of a
technical violation of American rights,
yet the government Is holding its
peace until an outrage presenting a
clearer cut issue compels II to act
The American government still is
without the official evidence of an
overt act by Germany considered
necessary to justify President Wilson
In going before congress for authority
TO use necessary means TO protect
American seamen and people
Some officials also think the last
three days have shown the posi-
bility that the German threat to
isolate England may be made good.
With 21.OOO tons yesterday and $500
tons the two previous days. the un-
dersea boats are reaping at a rate
which both German naval critics and
the British Manchester Guardian say
would render England helpless
Immediate changes are looked for
In England; first as to methods of
fighting the undersea boats and sec
ond as to safeguarding the country
against starvation. Whether better
protection will be had by heavier
armament of merchant vessels, con-
voy, provision of sea lanes or a
supreme attempt to root out the Ger
man feet are subjects of interested
speculation.
There no longer Is any doubt that
the ruthless submarine campaign is
in full swing in defiance Of the warn
Ing of the United States Every |
where 1t is believed that II no Ameri |
can ship has been destroyed, it is
because American ships are lying
Idle in their harbors instead Of plying
their usual trade; II no American life
mas been lost II Is due entirely to
chance.
Word was received from Great
Britain and France that safe CON
ducts for German diplomats in this
country would be arranged. This,
as we'll as the fact that German
ships here have not been seized, was
communicated to the Berlin govern
ment and no further difficulty is an
ticlpated
From several neutral nations came
information that while they would
not break diplomatic relations with
Germany, they had or would send
protests which would align them
against the new campaign of ruth
iessness. Again there we're some

employment of submarines as not not
being In accordance with submarine
law. There is now" said the pre-
mier, mo more reason for the gov.
ernment to change its international
policy than on the occasion Of previ-
GUS violations of international law.
The government remains resolutaly
attached to the policy of strict neu-
trality and retains It's resolve to
offer armed resistance to any viola
tion Of our territory or sovereign
rights by any power whatsoever. The
government hopes by determination
and tact to overcome the difficulties
resulting from the International situa-
tion."

SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. 9.-By q
vote Of 80 to 8, the lower house late
yesterday refused to make any
changes whatever in the provisions
or language of the original Young dry
bill and returned it to the governor.
The governor signed the measure i'm
mediately.
Governor Bamberger returned the
Young bill to the house Wednesday
without his signature, suggesting
that the legislature remove the ban
from malt and brewed drinks con-
tanning not to exceed one-half OF one
per cent alcohol.
The Young statewide prohibition
bill, which will become effective
August 1. 1917, is one of the most
drastic dry measures passed by any
legislature. Under its terms mere
possession Of alcohol is unlawful, ex-
cept for mechanical. scientific and
sacramental purposes.
