 WITH KNIVES FOR
 PLACES IN BOATS
By AasocIntnd Prens

Peking. March .--(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Sinking of the steamer Hong Koh, bound from Sing apore to Annoy with approximately HOO Annoy and Swatow Chinese and 10000 bags of rice aboard. just outside Swatow, precipitated a panic in which the pas sengers fought each other with knives, axes and hatchets for places in the life boats, according to consul advices from Swatow. About a thousand passengers and most of the native crew were drowned or killed in the rioting.
 The Hong Koh was drawing 9 feet of water when she approached Swatow. pilot went aboard but refused to bring her into port because of insuffi- cient water over the bar at the harbor entrance. The Swatow Chinese were told that they must go on to Annoy and return. They threatened riot but the captain and officers cleared for action with fire arms and a hot water hose and the trouble was averted for the time be- ing.
 When the vessel struck the rocks panic followed and many were killed with knives, axes and hatchets. The boats and rafts that could be launched were swamped from over-crowdng or wrecked against the steamers side by the heavy swell. The captain, Harry Holmes, was drowned.

BRITISH PRESS IS
 PLEASED AT REPLY
Declare It Was Only One Hard ing Could Make to Note
 From Germans
By Associated Press

London, April 22-In its editorial this morning on the American governments reply to the German note requesting mediation on the reparations question the London Times says the reply was what might have been expected. It ob- serves that President Harding declines altogether to arbitrate or mediate
 He could not, indeed. well offer to undertake either task after he had just adopted the attitude toward European entanglements taken in his recent mes sage to Congress" says the newspaper.
 The Times notes that Dr. Simons, the German foreign minister, in his speech in the Reichstag Friday professed to see in the reply qualified acceptance of the proposal that President Harding act as mediator and also that the Reichstag does not appear to have agreed on this remarkable interpretations of the Pres'- dents flat refusal to undertake the off, fice'
 Those cynical Americans with their long and intimate knowledge of the wiles of fraudulent bankrupts on grand scale, are suggesting, it will be seen. that the appeal in itself is virtual ad- mission that Germany's capacity is a variable factor, depending on whether the President or the allies fix the amount of her debt"
 The Daily News says the American reply was the only one that could pos sibly have been made to Germany.
 Tt would be inconceivable," the Daily News adds that a third party should intervene even if 1t desired to do so ex cept on a simultaneous invitation by both disputants and the Germans pro- posals speaks i'll for the political judg- ment of Fehrnbach and Simons'

Smoke Burning Device

new water cooled baffle plate de- vice for installation in the firebox of a conventional up>draft furnace has the effect of converting it into one having some of the characteristics of the wn-draft type. It is described and illustrated in the Popular Me chanics Magazine. It's construction is simple, consisting of two hollow steel commandments, of different heights. ar raT sed crosswise of the firebox, at a point somewhat to the rear of the center with the higher one at the back, thus dividing the firebox into two distinct combustion zones. As the two chambers are separated by few inches and the higher one reaches to the boiler crown sheet. the gases and smoke liberated by the forward por- tion of the fire are forced to pass over the top of the low forward sec tion, under the latter, and over the hottest part of the fire, where they arc consumed.

1 MACKMEN HAVE TO DEFY GRAVITY TO
 WIN IN AMERICAN
Giants Going Good In National. Washington Pitchers
 Are In Form
By JOHN R. FOSTER

Copyright, 1921, by The Age-HernId.
 New York, April 22.-Op the second shift of the east and east, and west and west series the results were dis tinotly flattering to Washington. Griffith's players won three games, more than any other team during this inter-club series, and all at the ex- pense of the Athletics. Connie Macks specific gravity needs hasty evapora- ton. He's back again at the bottom of the eastern looking up for light. The Yankees tore into the record for two victories, which were won by hit ting, St. Louis found the Sox for two victories while Cleveland and Detroit are getting nothing for their time but expense and experience.
 GIANTS GOING GOOD
 The Giants showed what we'll planned batting attack could do to cratic pitching, and Boston National stove cooled off little when New York left Boston with two wins It's the Giant game to play the teams to the limit which show the slightest in- dication of weakness, and they've won pennants in the past by exactly that kind of campaign
 Pittsburg strengthened it's reputation as a probable contender by doing to the Cubs what St. Louis couldn't do, that is defeat them twice, and Cin- cinnati, to the surprise of some west ern enthusiasts, and some in the east, as well, turned the Cardinals down hro nf Rrnn1x1vv, had to fight to break even with Philadel- rhia. That shows how far the national champions are from their 1920 form. They were fattening on Boston and Philadelphia last year at this time.
 PITCHING BAD
 With two or three exceptions all the pitchers are on worry street. Some ot them cannot go three innings and some have tried to pitch contest through and have staggered so per- ceptibly toward the finish that they have been taken out in the seventh and eighth innings. Most of them are veterans who, when they have had more work, should be going better in the 1attor part of the game than the beginning.
 In the American league the signifi- canoe of results .enters upon the Chi cs.go showing. A whale of task is confronting the Sox. Heretofore they have been top runners and not taking mud in the spring. To date they have fought gamely, but have been out classed.
 One of the oddities of the budding season is that Washington is getting pitching which analyses as well, or better at present, than the pitching ot some of the top notchers. If Griff's hurlers can continue, his team will be fighting for it's head all the way through. Sometimes Nlppens that pitching staff like that of Washing ton comes to it's top form together. If 1t does. it is as hard to down as a star or two and some would be helpers
 PITCHING TO RUTH
 Ruth's four home runs in April are more than he could get in April last year. Pitchers of the Philadelphia and Boston clubs weren't afraid to pitch them Up to him as they were last year. There's lot of roofing for him every tune that he all-s to the plate, but d
