THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1915. 15 AND TALKS By JULIUS CHAMBERS One European Nation Gone Mad! CAREFUL reading of the great A state paper sent by the President, through the State Department, to Germany, confirms a be11ef raised a on Wednesday that it was of such a character as to admit of neither compromise nor delay! In 80me respects, it goes further than did the memorable Cleveland message regarding the Venezuelan boundary, addressed to Great Britain; in others, it is more moderate. Without discussing its merits, the uppermost query in every American mind 1s, What will Germany do? My prediction is that the Imperial German Ministry will "lay American protest on the be not thee dropped into the waste basket! At this stage of the war game, Germany would welcome the entrance of the United States into the melee, because could then torpedo American ships well those of France, England and Russia. "The more the merrier!" Manhattan was alive with many wild rumors last night.

One of the most curious was that the recent search by Secret Service offloors of the German ships at Hoboken and South Brooklyn was based upon information that the Germans Intended to blow up their own steamers, in the event of war between this country and the Fatherland! At this hour, it is impossible to ascertain the source of the canard; but, many of us recall that, after surrendering, the Spaniards opened the water gates in their cruisers off the Cuban coast. Those acts were regarded as highly dishonorable, after they had become American property by raising the no rumor that so white is probably discreditable an act is contemplated, one may be sure such an incident will not occur until after a declaration of war on somebody's part. In this respect, I learn from Washington that Germany must take the first step. The theory is that Germany will ignore or resent the protest of this Government, that Count von Bernstorff's passports will be handed to him and Ambassador Gerard recalled from Berlin. There American initiative will stop.

If a declaration the Kaiser has been contemplated, it will of necessity. Then, and not until then, VOTERS DIVIDED ON INWOOD SCHOOL SITE One Faction of Taxpayers Against Putting New Structure on Present Location. Inwoof.Special to May The Eagle.) 14-Opposition has arisen to the present plan for the new $105,000 schoolhouse to be ed on the site of the present building at Wanser avenue and Jeannette street, and it is expected that the election, which is to be held on May 28, will bring forth a strong array of taxpayers nearly evenly divided on the issue. It is understood that one faction of taxpayers, led by a man of strong political influence in the district, objects to the construction of the new building on the present site for the reason that some adjoining land will be needed, adding considerable expense to the project. This faction feels that the building should be erected in a locality where some unimproved land could be used as a site, saving considerable expenge in this direction.

Those who favor the present site argue, on the other hand, that an unimproved site would be as expensive in the end, for the land that is now owned by the district will furnish a large part of the plot necessary in the improved section. They also argue that the present site 18 near the center of the district, and is the best available site in respect of location. The district includes the villages of Inwood, Lawrence and Cedarhurst. While the fight on location will probably divide the voters, it is thought that the project will be carried by a small margin. The State Education Department has condemned the present building as unsanitary, and has given notice to the district that if a new building is not erected the State will build one and charge it to the district.

It is regarded that the people would prefer to vote the appropriation rather than have the State step in and take command of matters. MUTTS BEAT GOPHERS. Interesting Bowling Match Held in Sea Cliff.

May 14-Mme. Olga Petrova, the Russian dancer, who recently purchased the residence of G. W. Weddell, at Twenty-third and State streets, will build a sunken I there. Ground was broken yesterday.

THE JEWISH REVIEW will President Wilson summon Congress. The gage, with its mailed knuckles, must be taken up by Uncle Samuel! Conservative thought in Washington regards war with Germany as not only probable but inevitable. Italy has side-stepped for the moment; her king adroitly dodges the issue of war or peace for another week by an announcement that a he will wait until Parliament assembles! Clever Victor Emmanuel IIII Britain's latest disaster in the Dardanelles, in which she loses the battleship Goliath, further confirms all expert American opinion that attempts to force the straits by naval vessels would be attended with heavy losses of ships and men. But the people of the United States need not look farther than Berlin to find the source of an impending rupture of their neutrality! Germany is as anxious to drag the United States into the World's War as Great Britain is willing she should be brought in! One foe, more or less, means nothing to Germany at this time. This is not a time Talks.

Brevity is the soul of prophecy. The American Government is trembling the brink of war with a vored atheror which a widespread afPower always especially fafection has existed ever since the days of the American Revolution. It is not of America's seeking and the people of this republic are NOT "too proud to fight!" Colonel Roosevelt's suggestion of an embargo upon all to Germany is what James Gordon Bennett would describe as "behind the lighthouse'-meaning that an embargo already exists. This country has not been able to get anything into Germany, even by indirect means, for months. Only yesterday, the startling fact was disclosed that all meat shipments made from here to Scandinavia during five months past, have been "held up" by Great Britain! Whether those thousands of pounds of beef have been allowed to spoil, or whether they have "at best" in British marketsolds not stated! The latest information I have by "underground" means from Germany is that distress is serious! Famine exists in many parts of the Empire.

Such statements are hidden under postage stamps that have been soaked off in order to escape the censor. I do not wonder that Germans are desperate! Of course, such declarations by German to their American friends will be officially denied by military offlcers living at hotels, and who find no curtailment in their beer supply. FEARS NEW YORK CONTROL Dr. Moore Denies Nassau's Claims for Normal School. (Special to The Eagle.) Bay Shore, L.

May 14-Subjects of vital importance to the community were taken up for discussion at a meeting of the Bay Shore Chamber of Commerce, in Foresters Hall, last night. Dr. Edwin S. Moore made a plea for support in the effort being made to have the proposed Long Island Normal School brought to Bay Shore. The speaker contraverted statements made recently by Nassau County people to the effect that Nagsau is the only place for the school to locate.

Dr. Moore said that by no means should it be placed in the same danger of coming under Greater New York control as did the Jamaica Normal School. E. E. Vreeland reported that P.

H. Woodward, secretary to President Peters of the Long Island Railroad, has assured him of two new express trains for Bay Shore this summer. A spirited speech on the Inland Waterway was made by William S. Downs. He showed how the State would realize more revenue by increased taxation by making the canal a reality than it would on any other improvement of like magnitude.

BASEBALL NOTES It seems as though the inspiration of seeing one of the teams representing this metropolis with a winning score on the spurs others on to greater efforts.

For the third time this season. all four of the local teams came home with a win yesterday. The Brookfeds and the Yankees led the local teams in the most runs. Each team defeated its opponent, Chicago and Cleveland, respectively, by a score of 6 to 1. The Giants defeated the Reds 4 to and the Superbas pulled through with a 3 to 2 victory over the Cubs.

Incidentally. Pol Perritt, even more resembling a parrot now that his nose has been remodeled, came through with his first victory. Arthur Fromme, incidentally, has been chased to the Jersey City Internationals. Heinie Groh, one of the men traded for Fromme, has proved to be the biggest bargain a manager has gotten from McGraw in years. Letting Heinie go was one of the few big mistakes the Little Napoleon has made in his years of big managing.

It is now rumored that the Atlantic League, deceased yesterday, will be resurrected to become a Fed minor.
