INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL
Centuries will pass before the world forgets the
double play. Zimmerman-to-Bernstorff-to-von Eckhardt.
It was to be closely followed by a triple, Kaiser Bill;
to President Carranza to Emperor Yoshihito.
Today’s dispatches indicate that the double succeed
ed. but the umpire called a balk, and it looks like the
kaiser, captain of this team, forgot to give Carranza the
proper spring training and even neglected to sign tipi
Yoshihito, star of the Far East, before the season opened.
In the language of the game, the kaiser pulled a
“bonehead play.”
This international baseball game is getting a little
too hot to suit American spectators and it would not be
surprising if they commenced to throw pop bottles and
cushions at the perpetrators of these raw plays.
TIME TO GET BUSY
Alaskans, both in and out of the Territory, are pre
paring to celebrate the semi-centennial of Alaska's pur-!
chase from Russia with regular sourdough enthusiasm,
and Seward should not fall short of the highest mark.

Fishing here will provide employment for all who can

There will be work for a large number on the line be

With the coming of the fishermen and the railroad j

GERMAN PRESS ON CRISIS
Decide in haste, repent at leisure. The United States
never waged a war unless justice sanctioned. Let justice
rule the decisions of our president and congress. When
justice demands it America is prepared and willing to
wage war with the support of a united nation.—(Illinois
Staats Zeitung.)
Keep cool. Say little or nothing. And if you must;
speak, speak soberly and discreetly. Both Germany and
the United States want peace based upon liberty, jus
tice and unmolested life. The Germans may make mis
takes, but they will not be guilty of wilful injustice against
America.—(Chicago Sontag Post.) I
Or course, today’s events cannot be taken lightly. But
we are Americans and we know our duty. We must stand
behind President Wilson. The nation must be solid. Ger
man-Americans must work for peace and the suppression
of irresponsible German utterances here.—(St. Louis
Westliche Post, German.)
AMPLYFYING THE MENU
New York policemen think they can live on twenty
five cents a day. They might be able to do so, but others
could not. The average citizen has no traditional right
to “lift” all the fruit he wishes from passing push-carts.
