WILSON AND ADVISERS AG REE ON GERMANY
u. s. WILL ACT IF ANY MORE AMERICAN LIVES ARE LOST
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
\YASIIINUTON, I). C., .July If).—President
Wilson and Secretary Iamsing, after their conference
on the German situation this morning, found that
they had about reached the same conclusion as to
what would be the proper attitude for the United
States to take in its next communication to the
Berlin foreign office.
The next note will be of a definite character,
making unmistakably clear the fact that this coun
try cannot be expected' to remain passive in the
event of another attack upon an unarmed, unresist
ing ship which will result in the loss of American
lives. The note will announce to Germany that the
( nitod States will assort its rights on the high seas,
and will brook no interference with these rights,
which have always been clearly defined by interna
tional law, and which this country insists that
Germany must res|>ect as far as American lives or
shipping is concerned.
It seems that there will be an attempt to so
phrase the new note, that Germany cannot avoid
giving a decided answer to the propositions laid
down by the United States. There will be no discus
sion of the principles treated in the previous notes,
but simply a reiteration of the determination of the
j U nited States to abide by those principles, and to
i adhere to its attitude on the rights of American
; citizens to sail the high seas in unarmed passenger
vessels of any nationality without being attacker!
without warning.
WASHINGTON, I). ('., July 19.—President
Wilson returned to the White House this morning
from his summer home in Cornish, N. H. He imme
diately began to hold conferences with Secretary of
State Lansing, and other officials of the govern
ment, who are conversant with the German situation.
The conferences today are preparatory to a cabinet
meeting which will be held tomorrow for the pur
pose of deciding the wording of a new note to
Germany in reply to the last communication from
Berlin on the submarine warfare. The president
appeared to be the picture of health, and ?s well
tanned from his outdoor life on the golf links.
BIG LEAGUERS
OUTDONE BY
A hotly contested ball game was
pulled off yesterday between the town
team and the aggregation of spit ball
artists from the Taku. The game was
replete with sensational plays, and
both teams showed that they are
rapidly rounding Into mid season
form, and will be getting better all the
m m
Pitcher Holcomb Retired Early
time.
The Taku boys used two pitchers in
an effort to down the Cordovans, but
the home team had its batting togs
on, and did some good work with the
willow. Holcomb pitched the first
three innings for the sailors, and was
relieved by Kentzler who finished the
game on the mound. Taylor went the
whole route for the home team, and
pitched a consistent game.
The two features of the game that
deserved special mention were a home
run by Leroy "Soapy” Anderson, who
swatted the pill on the nose and made
a circuit of the basses before the ball
even came to the ground. Strimple
for the visitors pulled off the best play
in center field that has ever been seen
on the grounds, when he went away
back into the tundra after a fly that
had a three base ticket tacked onto it,
and nabbed the sphere. It was a won
dertul eaten, and the manager of the
home team is considering making an
effort to sign up Stritnp'.e. and get
him to break his contract with the
Takus.
Capt. Rude, for the visitors, was
pulling off his usual live wire stuff all
the time. His sliding to bases opened
the eyes and the mouths of the de
lighted fans, who ware witnessing
some big league stuff for the first
time in Cordova. Bauer, at second,
played hard for Cordova, and his

For a Homer
method of putting the ball on a run
ner for an out, was all to the good, as
the runner could hardly be himself
again for two or three innings. It
might be well to mention that the
score was 11 to 9, with the mariners
on the small end.

was as good as any place to die in.
The reception ended with the conclu
sion of the governor’s remarks, and
the big auto truck of the Alaska
Transfer Company, which had been
turned into a Jitney bus for the pur
pose took the guests on a ride around
town, and to the dock, where the good
byes were said, and the governor and
Mrs. Strong both expressed them
selves as well pleased with the
warmth of Cordova’s reception.

KING OF SPAIN
PIKEYE
PARIS, July 19.—The King ol
Spain, who formerly furnished a greal
deal of copy for French newspapers
has had very little attention since the
war. Paris began to cool toward
Alfonso XIII, in 1913; now he seenif
to be almost entirely outside the zom
of interest. Reports from Madrid and
Saint Sebastian represent him as fol
lowing every development of the wai
with great interest and with sympa
thetic leaning to the allies, while th<
rest of the court is said to be pro
German.
The Bayonne correspondent of th<
Petit Journal writes that King Alfonst
recently acted as Intermediary be
tween the German government am
the wife of a French soldier who hac
received no news from her husham
since he was wounded at Charleroi
August 28. The king sent an auto
graph letter to the young woman in
forming her that her husband was i
prisoner of war in Germany, deprlvec
of the privilege of communicatini
with France, and that he was continu
ing his efforts to obtnin permlssio
for him to write to his family.

BERLIN. July 17.—At the "horse
markets” established by the govern
ment, where animals are offered fo.
Bale to the army, prices of late have
gone up so far that many of the most
valuable animals have not been
bought. Many owners appear bIbo to
be holding back their horses In the
hope of a still higher price.
The government is avoiding until
the last possible moment the use of its
final weapon against price extortion
confiscation. It is freely predicted
however that this will be necessary
if horse owners do not come to reason
and do not offer their animals at
prices somewhere near commensurate
with the value of the horses.
