US. ATHLETES
LIMBER UP
Morale of American Stars
Shows Steady I'm
provement.

Antwerp. Aug. 10.-The morale OF
the American athletes here for the
Olympic games has shown steady
improvement since they landed on
Belgian soil.
The men and women who will
carry the American colors in the
International contests were gen.
orally upset after the long ocean
voyage and close confinement
aboard ship.
They were encouraged. however.
by the results of a workout in the
Antwerp stadium. which gave them
the first opportunity to test their
muscles since the trip.
While conditions aboard the Prin-
cess Matoika, which carried the
army and civilian contingents to
Antwerp, were such as they had not
ground for complaint. Robertson
and MoakIey declared quarters
aboard the vessel were very CON
Eested. Coaches felt the athletes
might not be able to make their
best effort in the contests as re-
suit of the trying conditions under
which the trip was made. The con-
Ecstion. beside making it impos-
sible for contestants to keep in
the best physical condition. also put
them in bad mental condition, which
will not be conducive to good work
on the field

WILLDUN U. S.
FOR IRISH VIEW
De Valera Plans to Apply
For Recognition Before
i Election.
ny ROBERT r. BARRY.

Copyright, fs2o. by Public Ledger Col
A new effort TO force the hand
Of the Wilson administration with
respect to recognition of the RE
public Of ireland" has been deter
mined upon by Eamonn de Va
lers. Formal application is to be
made, to the Department OF State
within a short time, certainly be-
fore the close of the Presidential
campaign.
The De Valera adherents in the
United States are convinced that the
Wilson administration has been
playing horse with the Irish ques-
tion. They cite a series OF in
stances to justify their view. They
are hopeful that a formal declara-
tion as to the attitude Of this gov
pendent ireland may be obtained.
President" De Valera has deter
mined upon oficial request for rec
ognition of the Sim Fein govern
ment despite the view Of the mod
crates in the Friends OF Irish
Freedom that his venture is doomed
to failure and that possible injury
TO the Irish cause may follow.
Those differences have been smould-
ering for some months. They were
brought to a climax at the national
political conventions when the con-
servatives led by Justice Daniel F.
Cohslan and John Dewey, opposed
demands for straight recognition
plsnks. Frank P. walsh. leader of
the De Valera forces. took the more
radical end Of the controversy and
waged a vigorous fight for resolu-
tions favoring recognition.
The case Of ireland" to be pre-
sented TO cambridge Colby, Secre-
tary Of State, now is in preparation.
Mr.. De Valera regards the proposed
formal application to the State De-
psrtpent as the first direct repre-
sentation Of its kind. The matter
is TO be pressed as rapidly as pos
sible

serNfce-SpeciaI Cable Dispatch.D


Edinburgh, Aug. lO.-At a lunch
con in his honor by the Edinburgh
Town Council. John Gribbel. OF
Philadelphia. was referred to by the
chairman, Mr.. Bailey, and J. F. Rob
ertson. who presided in the absence
OF Lord Rosebsry, as "one Of the
greatest ambassadors the United
States had ever sent to Scotland"
Because Mr.. Gribbel returned Rob
crt Burns famous Glennriddle manu-
scripts to Scotland. the chairman
said:
He had not only created feelings
Of regard for himself. but Of admira-
tom for the great people he repre-
sented."
Mr. Gribbel. replying in what the
Scotsman calls "a racy and discUr-
sive speech" spoke Of Americas s
debt to Scotland for Alexander Ham
ilton and James Wilson and for John
Knox. who gave the public school to
the world"
In a more serious vein. Mr.. Crib
bel said the worlds greatest need
today was that misUnderstandinEs
should be removed between the
United States and Great Britain.

CALLED TO COLORS
FOR MYSTERY CRUISE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

efficiency. The present call is to
give the reservists a chance to 30
to sea to get this training"
The call is for enlisted men only,
and in some of the ratings the num-
Der to be accepted from the District
of Columbia is unlimited.
Those familiar with conditions in
the navy point out that the call is
made necessary by the shortage of
men in the regular navy. The de-
stroyers, as in the case of many
other ships in the navy, are now
undermanned. In order to fill up
their compliments to the point
where ii is safe to send them to
sea, the services of the reservists
has been asked.
While il is believed that a number
of reservists will respond to the ap-
peal in order to cruise in the Medi-
terranean, IL is the firm belief that
failure of a sufficient number TO
respond will necessitate the issu-
ance of orders directing enough
reservists to man the necessary
ships to report.
Under the terms of the act OF
Congress organizing the United
States naval reserve force, the Pres
ident has authority to call in the
reserves in the case of an impend-
ing emergency. 1t is not necessary
to wait for a declaration of war,
although the solicitor of the Navy
Department has ruled that the
United States is still in a state of
war. So the reservists may even be
called in under the terms Of the
declaration of war which made the
United States a party to the world
war.
