THE Right OF aLockApE.

Editorial in The Kansas City Star:
The German proclamation of war
zone upon the high seas, into which
neutral vessels are forbidden to enter
except at the risk of sinking, has no
warrant in international law and is in
direct contravention of the doctrine of
the freedom of the seas heretofore
recognized by all nations.
The right of q belligerent to block
ade an enemy's ports is undisputed,
but the recognition of that right is
clearly predicated upon certain definite
rules and obligations which the block
aiding power is bound to observe. That
Germany could observe these rules in
maintaining a blockade, including the
waters of the British Isles and por-
tions of the Atlantic ocean and the
Mediterranean sea, is not to be be-
lieved, for the most important rule Of
all is that of the declaration OF Paris,
that ''bloclzades. in order to be bind
ing, must be effectual: that is to say,
maintained by force sufficient in
reality to prevent access to the coast
of the enemy" Germany is not pre-
pared to make such a blockade effect

Catcher Frank Snyder. recognized as
one OF the best backstops in the
game.
Cutshaw's poor work in the last

last winter he wrote in a letter to
friend that he would not play this.

along with his salary cuts, Cutshaw
got his.
However, the nervy second sacker
was one of the first to show up when
the club got into training action in
