All Bond Propositions Except
Second Ward Park Carried

The voters Of Ardmore yesterday
declared in favor of the issuance Of
bonds, the sale of which will pro-
vide an adetfuate water supply, the
extension of the water mains, sani-
tary sewers, an incinerating plant,
storm sewers, and barn and stor-
age house for the city, but voted
against buying land for a park in
the Second ward.
There were 500 votes cast at the

deposited on any one proposition
other than that for the barn and
storage house. The vote is con-
sidered very light, compared with
the full vote of the city, but only
property taxpaying voters were per-
mitted, under the law, to vote at this
election.
Following is the vote in detail:
Proposition /, additional water
supply: For 500, against 81.

Uruguay,

London, April 23.-Uruguay and
Argentina are expected to declare
war against Germany at an early
date, according to Berlin advice,
forwarded by the Exchange Tcle-
graphs correspondent at Amster-
dam. The German newspapers have
been notified to prepare the public
tor this development, he adds.
Uruguays relations with Germany
are known to have been tense for
some time. April II, a Monteyideo
dispatch indicated that a Uruguayan
mission to France had been cap
tured by 4 German submarine. Uru-
quay, the dispatch stated, had asked
Berlin through Switzerland if Ger
many considered that state of war
existed with the Uruguayan repub-
lie, "as stated by the commander OF
submarine who captured a Uru-
guayan military mission bound for
France II the reply should he in
the affirmative, it was announced.
Uruguay would declare a state Of
war. p
Broke Relations Last October.
Uruguay definitely broke diplo-
matte relations with Germany by
act OF congress October /, last, fol
lowing the crisis over the relations
between Argentina and Germany,
brought about by the Luxburg in
cident. Passports were handed to
the German minister and the neu-
trality rule was waived as to the
entente allies. The attitude OF Uru-
quay toward the United States as
belligerent had previously been
markedly sympathetic.
Argentina has been apparently on
the verge of break in relations
with Germany over the submarine
situation several times since the pub
lication last summer of the docu-
ments in which Count Won Lux
burg, German diplomatic represent
ative at Buenos Aires, advised the
Berlin foreign office, among other
things, that a certain Argentine
merchant vessel should be sunk
without trace
Won Luxburg Played Sick.
There has, as a matter of fact,
been little diplomatic communica-
tion between Buenos Aires and Ber-
lin in this period, as Count Won
Luxburg was handed his passports
and only remained in Argentina be-
cause lRs health was represented TO
be such as to require him to be
treated in a sanitarium.
Dispatches from Buenos Aires in
February indicated a growing tense
ness in relations and a growing anti
German sentiment. Since then dem
onstrations have been held in the
Argentine capital in celebration of
the entry of the United States into
the war and the Uruguayan author
tiles have made it known that Ar
gentina has agreed to place the Ar
gentine armed forces at Uruguay's 5
disposal if Uruguay's northern pro-
vinces are threatened by German
uprising in southern Brazil.

covered a burglar in their room at
> o'clock this morning and observed
that he was armed with 4 revolver.

the searching Of the pockets of Mr..
st. CIalres trousers and saw the
intruder take therefrom a check for
$l25 and about SIS in money. Being
unable to reach a gun which was on

the burglar and Chief Segler be-
lieved he recognized the man from
the description and directed officers

brought to the station within a
short time.
When searched at the station no..
thing was found on Woodruff ex-
cept a pocket knife and four hypo-
dermlc Syringes, such as are used
by persons addicted to the use of
drugs. He had complete outfit in
an aluminium case and in leather
case were three syringes, a number
OF needles and a small file.
Mr.. St. Claire came to the station
and identified Woodruff as the man
he saw in his room. He said he
wanted to see what his wife said, as
she had had better view of the in
truder. When Mrs. St. Claire came
to the station and saw Woodruff
she was satisfied he was the man.
Woodruff was in police court

The British foreign minister, ac-
cording to the London Daily News,
has learned that the relations be-
tween Holland and Germany are
unusually strained. The dispute
about the supply of gravel from
Holland to Germany was said to
have been the cause.
Officials in diplomatic circles in
London were reported to look upon
the situation with uneasineSs. Ru-
mors were that something IN the
nature of an ultimatum had been
delivered to Holland by Germany.
The Handelsblad OF Amsterdam
Monday expressed the belief that
Germany would not hesitate to use
communication through Holland
even at the risk of war if she be-
licyed that by doing so victory could
be obtained on the western front.

age at which Champions Benny
Leonard and Ted Lewis will enter
the ring for their titular battle at
Park, in Newark.
September 2S. is topic of general
discussion among the fight gentry
all along the Atlantic seaboard. In
some quarters the belief is preva-
lent that Lewis will scale lighter
than Leonard when the first gong
sounds for the Battle OF Cham
pions."
Lewis, himself, is sponsor for the
statement that he will weigh no
more than Leonard when fight time
arrives. The welterweight cham
pion last night informed Jack Cur
ley. who is>Conducting the titular
bout for the Airdrome Club. that he
is ready to wager $500 that he will
go into the ring weighing less than
Leonard. Lewis already has bet
Leonard $500 on this proposition!

of hurlers were stingy with their hits.
but the loose playing behind them
together with the free transportatiOns
enabled the Sea Devils to pull the
game out of the fire in the sixth ses-
sion.
Serrin, who was in the center of the
diamond, was not hit until the fourth
when two hits with a walk and an
error put two runs over for the Ma
rines. In the next session on two
hits another tally came across and in
the sixth chapter on two hits and
numerous passes five runs were tailed
which gave the Sea Devils the edge
by two tallies. To make it safe the
Marines scored on four bases on balls
which forced over the last tally.
bringing up their total to 9.
Hunt, who started on the mound
for the Marines. was not in the best
form and on three passes and a single
with an error one tally registered at
the plate. On two hits and two errors
two counters came across the plate.
Driver. who had relieved Hunt, was
not scored upon until the sixth when
his slants were bumped for three hits;
the last tally for the Cappubs was put
over the counting dish.
The Cappubs were held safe in the
last session as two men struck out
and the third man popped up to short.

MEDICO BEATEN
BY NAVY YARD
Land from Khaki Tribe in
Final Inning-Marines
Defeat Cappubs.

Loose fielding of the Army Medico
team in the final frame Of yesterdays
battle with the Navy Yard team at
the American League Park sent the
Medicos down to defeat In Section
Two by a 4-to-S count. Humphreys
for the Machinists, and Parks for the
Khaki tribe hooked up In an interest
ing pitching duel. but the latter
weakened in the ninth frame when
errors by his teammates gave the
Navy Yard an uphill victory.
The medicos. played a great defen-
slve gNme\ until after one man was
out in the final inning, when hits by
Billy Luscombe and Giovannetu
settled the question. In the sixth in
ming Clark in left field made SEN
sational stab of Crooks line drive
and doubled Sterzer up at first base
by good peg to Howard on play
that would do credit to Iris Speaker.
In the final Howard forced Mcbride
at the far cornor on Seaten's attempt
to sacrifice, which was a regular A
La Hal Chase.
Walters single followed by triples
by Clark and Howard gave the
Medicos two runs in the first inning,
while Sharkey's hit followed by
Howard's sacrifice placed the Medicos
in striking distance in the sixth.
Phipps and Ruff smashed clean drives
through the Navy Yard defense CIV
ing Medicos their final two counters.
Parks made a present OF the hrst
run to the Navy Yard team in the
fourth when he hit Sterzer with
pitched ball and wild pitched Buck
to third base. Mcbride then crashed
out a long fly to center field that gave
Sterzer easy romping to the plate.
Navy Yard put the old game on Ice
in its uphill fight in the ninth when
Mcbride opened with n single. Braund
looked over four wide ones, but Sea-
ton attempted to advance the runners
on a sacrifice on which Howard made
his brilliant play at the far corner
cutting down Mcbride. Phipps mis-
cued on Fitzgerald offering giving
Navy Yard its first run.
Billy Luscombe was then used as
pinch hitter for Humphreys. Lus-
combe delivered with~a wallop to lett
