WAR AND THE UNITED STATES

Diplomatic difficulties growing out
of the war in Europe continued to
confront the United States govern
ment throughout the past year. The
submarine controversy with Germany,
which had been more or less acute
since the sinking of the Lusitania, was
intensified March 2, when the British
Channel steamer Sussex and the Brit
ish steamer Englishman, both of which
carried Americans, were torpedoed
and sunk without warning. This oc-
Cured about two weeks after congress,
at the urging Of the president, had re-
fused to adopt resolution warning
Americans to remain off armed mer-
chant ships of the belligerents. The
german government at first denied any
responsibility for the attack on the
Sussex, and on April Is President VIII
son addressed a note which amounted
practically to an ultimatum to the Ger
man government. In this note the pres
ident declared that unless Germany
Immediately declared and effected an
abandonment of its methods of sub
marine warfare against passenger and
freight-carrying vessels, the United
States could "have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
German empire altogether" Ger
many's reply to this note. received in
Washington May 5, promised compli-
ance in the future with the laws of
warfare in its submarine operations
A supplementary note from Berlin, re-
ceived May 10, admitted that the Sus-
sex was tOrpedoed, expressed regret
offered indemnity and declared that
the submarine commander had been
punished. No further serious contrO-
versy occurred with Germany until
after the sinking of the Marina, with
Americans aboard, October %. 1t was
charged that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning. After an investiga-
ton Germany assumed responsibility
for the sinking of the boat, declaring
that the captain of the submarine
thought the Marina an armed trans
port.
An interchange of notes between the
OhilSu anu lllG SllCllC SONSIu-
ments, regarding the seizure and exam
inatiOn of American mails, was produc-
tive of little result. In several COM
munications Great Britain and France
insisted upon their rights to examine
neutral mails, but on October ~ they
made some slight concessions, promis-
ing to improve the mail service be-
tween America and neutral countries.
A blacklist against American firms
and individuals, charged with dealing
with Germany, which was published
by Great Britain July IS, and by
France August 6, brought emphatic
protests from the United States gov
eminent, but on November IA Great
Britain formally rejected the American
protests, declaring that the blacklist
was not aimed at neutrals.

UMPIRE CLAIMS
PERFECTRECORD
He Says So Himself, So He Must Have It; Silk
O'Laughlin Is His Name and He's
Umpred 81 Years.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-"I've
never made a wrong decision"
Silk O'Loughlin, American
league umpire speaking.
"At least" this in soto voice,
IF l did l never admitted 1t,
which amounts to the same
thing"
Which probably is one of the
reasons why Silk O'Loughlin, in
ventor and sole distributor of the
famous Strike Tub" is so sue
cessful at the umpiring business.
In fact, Silk 0'Loughlin seldom
does make mistakes. His decisions
are usually just and he is gener
ally right on top of play when
II is made.
Ball players know this and
Silks decisions are pretty we'll re-
spected, for Silk is great be-
hever that he is always right and
player who objects very siren
uously doesn't hang around the
field very long as a general rule.
He is usually recommended to try
a cool shower for the relief of his
hot temper.

Silk has been umpiring for Fl
years, which is pretty good evil
dence OF his efficiency.
In that time he figures he has
made 433.660 decisions, basing
his calculations on the average
number of decisions he makes per
game, either behind the bat or on
the field.
In the 13 years he worked
under the old single umpire
system Silk figures he made
$4,000 decisions and since
that time has decided 121,-
600 while working with an
other umpire.
Silk follows out a very con-
vinc!ng brand of logic in calcu-
lating that he has an untarnished
decision record of 1000.
IF / ever do make a mistake
1t would be idiotic for me to tell
it, he declares. "Of course there
are lots of times when ball play
ers and fans don't agree with me,
but I've found that what | say al
ways goes so 1t must be right.

the White Sox were just squirm-

up the procession, or gaining a

game remains for the Red SOx to
play in Philadelphia and then
they take the place of the White

Finishing with the Indians all
the White Sox have to worry

Melbourne Mcdowell, the well
known legitimate actor, makes his
first appearance on the screen in
the new Triangle play, The
Flame of the Yukon" starring
Dorothy Dalton, which is back at
the Apollo for a much-demanded
return engagement. Mcdowell
appears as Black Jack, a dance
hall proprietor and gambler, who
is mistrusted, hated and feared by
his neighbors. At the close of
the story a much wronged miner
volunteers to rid the camp of this
curse, and what is said to be the
most realistic fight ever screened
ensues.

sensational photoplay can do it

February 26, 1917, the President went
before Congress with a request for
power TO use the armed forces Of the
United States in any way he saw fit.
In that message to Congress he indi-

have been the effect II Congress had

It has been charged that the people
of Wheeling have exhibited marked
lack of interest in the departure OF
previous draft units to the training
camps. The lntelligencer believes that
It is not indifference on their part, or
that they are callous to the probable
dangers the boys" are to face. The
attitude is simply that which prevails
all over the country. the failure to
realize the momentous character OF
the war the nation has entered upon.
Gradually that apathy Is being dis
PEELED. and realizing sense OF the
perils and hardships our soldiers are
to meet with is becoming more pro-
