WASHINGTON, June 81
Germany's sea wolves--the
submarines which have caused
so much devastation during
| the war--are preying on COM
merce in the Atlantic ocean
just off the shores Of the
United States. They are
known to have sunk at least
seven vessels, only a short
distance out Of sight Of land
off the southern New Jersey
shore.
1t is feared that still other
vessels have been sent to the
bottom by the, marauders, the
movements of which have
been reported at various
times during the last fort.
night by ships coming into
port from southern waters.
Thus far only one life is
known to have been lost in
the sinkings. A majority of
the vessels were sunk with
bombs after the crews had
been forced to take to the
ships boats.
Germany at last has brought sub
barine warfare to the shores Of the
United States, apparently In forlorn
hope OF striking telling blows on
this side OF the Atlantic and OF
drawing home some OF the American
naval forces from the war zones
where the U-1 pat menace is being
slowly but surely strangled to death.

In the attacks upon coasting ves-

sey shore reported. many officials

that the submarine has failed.

Europe. Now the raiders have

ports here but they have failed.

Resumption of Football.

PALO ALTO, Calf, Feb. 9.-The
question-"Wiu the University of Cal
ifornia and Stamford university play
the American intercollegiate game of
football this ?"-refuses to down
and the prospects are that the matter
will be discussed more or less right up
to the time that a decision is arrived
at.
A Stanford student publication is the
latest to bring the matter up and while
it is favorable for resumption of the
big game" it also says that the mat
ter IS now entirely in THE hands of the
Californians. Stanford has made the
proposition of playing a game under
the American code if the Blue and
Gold will meet them half way by hold
ing an annual Rugby match. No Off
cial response has yet been made by
California.

Aviator Wins Swimming Event.

Norman Ross, holder of a number of
American and worlds swimming rec

that learning to fly does not impair
ones natatorial prowess. Ross is pre-
pairing to become an aviator with
Uncle Sans army and, for some time,
has devoted his attention and energy
entirely to the matter of flying in
stead of swimming.
At recent swimming meet held at
the Olympic club, Ross as captain of
an aviation swimming team, won six
events and scored 25 points for the
flyers, out of the 81 by that team.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Feb. g.
With practically only three weeks be-
fore them ere they will line up for
early practice, their candidates, the
various managers of the Pacific Coast
league baseball clubs are actively en-
gagged in making the preliminary ar
rangements.
Practically all of these managers
will be more or less hard put to it to
find the new material necessary to
bolster up the holes in their lineups
made by the draft and volunteer serv-
ice occasioned by the war. In some
cases frantic letters are going out to
managers of major league clubs ask
ing for aid.
Just what the prospects for each
club will be it still is too early to de-
termine and it is not likely that much
prophesying will be done until a more
Definite lineup Of the men is had. A
score of names of good players in
other leagues have been mentioned as
probably obtainable for the Pacific
Coast organizations, but until con-
tracts are signed and the men appear
on the ground, nothing definite will
be available.
Followers of the fortunes of the
league appear to think that the Salt
Lake City team will start off with an
edge on it's rivals in the matter of ma
tertal, but this, like all other advance
criticism, is considered as of the hit
or miss variety.

THE ACCOUNTING

Go forth and bleed and die.
Ye who stand beneath my rod
Add to my glory and my fame,
Heed not the frown of your God:
What care I, save for victory,
To dominate this world
The seas of blood, the orphans made
SO long as my power I hold!
Go forth and bleed and die!"
The soldiers of the land
Go forth to meet the armed foe,
To bleed and die for one little man.
Their widows weep and their orphans
wall,
Lifting pale faces to God above;
But still the war, with its blood and
death,
Goes on, in the land that knows not
love!
go forth and bleed and die"
The command this monarch spoke
Came in Gods great voice rebuking
him
On the day when his soul awOke!
He kneIt in fear and trembling,
Nor could he answer make
For the million lives he might have
saved
That were all laid down for his small
sake!

Sizing UP the PhilIies.

Clever field generalship, hard work
at keeping his men in condition, and
a constant application at all times to
business by Pat Moran is the thing
that has kept the Phillies in the Ma
tional league race ever since he sue
ceeded Charley Doom as leader of
the Philadelphia club.
Moran has not had a team of stars.
He has had a fairly good club at all
times. He has had the best pitcher
in the National league, one of the fin
est shortstops in either league, a brill
liant catcher, one sterling outfielder,
and just fair assortment of other
ball players. Most of his men are
veterans and have been considered
so for years. They are not whizzes at
running bases, but they can hit.
There are the reasons why anyone
who picks the Philies as team which
is due to collapse mad better think
again.
1t is a certainty that the Phillies are
not going into the race this year with
the backing that has followed them
for some years. The team is not so
good as it was a year ago, nor it is so
good as it was two years ago-but it
still is first division aggregation, and
that's where it doubtless will finish

1t may be that Art Wilson will turn
out to be a find for George Stallings.
The Braves have been handicapped
for a long time by a gang of catchers
who we're just simply catchers. In
Wilson Stallings will be acquiring a
man who can think as we'll as hold his
hands up. Stallings also has some
youthful receivers who look the part
of corners. With Wilson's coaching
that part of the Braves machine may
look decidedly better next season.
Wilson once was considered serious
ly as a manager for one Of the big
league clubs, and by man who would
not be likely to pick a flivver for the
work
Wilson's hitting last year was not
what it once war, but he is young,
healthy and takes good care of him

President Baker of the Philadelphia
club, who has been one of the most
staunch of Gov. Tener's supporters,
declared recently that he as well as
a majority of the club owners are en-
tirely satisfied with the arrangement

clared, that Tener is really the big
man in baseball and to give him up
