THEY'RE MISSING BLOCK.

George Block. who did the receiving for the Chicks for several
weeks, and who was decorated with the insignia Of the Ancient Order
OF the Iinware, is being sadly missed by the Tribe at present. With
Red Smith out Of the game and with the club depending upon young
George Bischoff, the club Is in bad shape, for there can be no denying
the fact that any ball club needs a steady Wckstop, one who has had
experience and who has gone through the mill. Block was Just such
a man. He had few bases stolen on him, except when some of the
Chicks slow wind-up pitchers were performing, and all in all his work
was of the gltedged variety.
The club could very handily use Block at present,
Red Smith stated that he'd never again go behind the bat after
he had apparently recovered from his first injury. He said he would
be an outfielder from here on. But the weakness back of the plate
was so apparent that well bet anything from the family album to the
alarm clock that Red asked Cy Barger to let him go back there and
work, even II It was taking a chance. "
That's the kind OF ball player Red Is. He's out there to helm win
those ball games in every way possible, and is to be commended for
going in and taking a losing chance on getting injured all over again.

HUNS JUSTIFY
FRYATT DEATH
Investigators Find Execu-
ton of British Sailor Was
No Law Violation.

Berlin, April 3-The German COM
mission investigating the execution of
Capt Charles Fryatt. of the British
merchant marine decided today that
the sentence imposed upon him was
not in violation of international law.
According to the German official re-
port of the case, Fryatts steamer,
the Brussels, encountered the U-33 of
the coast OF Holland In March, 1915.
Fryatt is said to have attempted to
ram the submarine. The Brussels was
captured in June, 1916. Fryatt was
tried by court-martial In Bruges, con-
victed of violating the rules of war
fare, and executed by firing squad.
Testimony was introduced at the
hearing by the commission to show
that Fryatt declared he had tried tc
evade the submarine. German naval
officers testified the log of the Brus-
sells contained an entry admitting
that Fryatt steered directly at the
U-boat.
Notes of protest from the British
and American governments agains,
the execution were read to the COM
mission. Representatives of the
British, French. Dutch and Nor
wegian governments attended the
commissions hearings

4,875 HERALD VOTERS FAVOR
LEAGUE; 1,163 ARE OPPOSED
Returns Still Show Yeas in Lead by Four to
One Majority; Supporters Become
Enthusiastic

There are 4,S75 readers of The Wash
ington Herald in favor of the United
States becoming a partner in the
league of nations. The score stands
today. from a count made last night
by the league Of nations editor, 4,S7j
for and 1,163 against, which is even
a little better than four to one.
Objectors to the league are getting
-scarcer and scarcer every day the
contest runs. And moreover, those
favoring the league are becoming
more and more enthusiastic.
The ballots are coming in with
every mail and many are brought
in personally. Good results have been
obtained by the placing OF blank bal
lots in theaters, churches and other
places where large numbers of peo-
pie congregate.
Only Two Against League.
OF this character of ballot, every
one that has been received has been
in favor of the league The objectors
have all used ballots cut from The
Washington Herald.
Only two votes were received yes
terday against the league. One is
from Richard S. Cozzens, S314 Mount
Pleasant street northwest, and the
other is from W. \. Clark. an attor-
ney in Colesville, Va.

Navy PREPARED
FOR WAR NEEDS
Officials Disprove Charges
Of Insuficiency in Help
To Allied Nations.

Charges by Capt w. H. Stayton
national secretary Of the National
Marine League, that the navy was
unprepared for the war, that only
five first-Class American battleships
were abroad before the armistice
was signed. were definitely and
categorically denied yesterday by
Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt and other expert officials
Of the Navy Department.
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
1T is, Of course, true that at the
beginning of the war we had, say
about 10000 men and officers and
about 10000 in the Marine Corps
but that was because the numbers
were so limited by law.
when we entered the war we got
from Congress what was wanted
and at the time of the signing of
the armistice we had probably 5OO,-
600 officers and men in the navy.
As a matter OF fact the war, so far
as the navy was concerned, was
conducted according to methods
agreed on by the United States and
the associated nations. and what
was demanded was furnished fully
and freely"
American ships on the Job.
Il has been known and published
for years that Congress almost in
vaTiably cut in half the recommenda-
tiOns Of the navy experts even when
they emanated from the General Ma
val Board. of which Admiral Dewey
was chairman.
As to the charge that there were
only five first-class American battle
ships abroad before the armistice was
signed. Mr.. Roosevelt said:
The fact is that there were nine
battleships abroad before the armis-
tice was signed. Six of these were
with the high fleet and three Of them
were operating off the coast of Ire
land. At first five battleships were
sent because that was the number
the associated powers wanted after
their conferences here with the Navy
Department. That number was in
creased to six and three more were
sent. This addition was made when
the danger from raiders demanded
the strength of our force in European
waters should be increased ,"
