Pernoll vs. Roseburg are the words
on the large display signs advertising
the baseball game between Roseburg
and Grants Pass tomorrow. -The Rose
burg team consider themselves very
fortunate In obtaining a chance to
show what they can do against real
lepgue ball pitchers end Intend to
impress tl e fact upon the league
managers that they have overlooked
some real ball players.
Pernoll, wlio is considered one of
the best twlrlers on the coast was
first taken from the bushes by Mc
Credle and after pitching winning
ball for the Beavers for a year, he
was traded to Oakland where he
served another year. He was then
drafted by the Detroit team and aft
er playing for two years was trans
ferred to the San Francisco team.
Caring this pitching for the Detroit
NGLISHMEN
team he made a record which is not
very often equaled striking out 22
men in one nine inning game.
He has had bad luck however, this
yar as he had the misfortune to
hurt his arm the first of the season.
He was given a furlough by the San
Francisco team and t he went to
Grants Pass wlhere he owns a cigar
store. His arm has now recovered
from the injury and. he is playing
with the Grants Pass team in order
that lie may keep in condition and
be ready when the coast league team
will need him toward the close of
the season when the race for the i
pennant becomes cIobo.
There has been much comment on
tfre street of the fact inat Pernoll
will not be rtTe to pitch good ball
against the Roseburg team, as the
Grants Pass catcher cannot holf
the southpaw'B speedy twisters. But
arrangements have been made by the
southern Oregon boys for a former
Northwestern League big mitt artist,
who will catch for them at the game
Sunday.
Hargreaves will probably pitch for
the Regulars, with Miller bdhlnd the
bat. These two are a winning com
bination and will no doubt have many
of the Grants Pass team whiffing the
air.
W-hat many consider the best pro
gram of the Chautauqua, was given
last night when the Swiss Alpine Yod
lers appeared In a number of music-';
al selections. After each number
they were forced to respond to one
or more encores, one of their num-j
ber being called back five times.
The bass singer and manager of
the troupe had a wonderful voice, j
his tones being exceptionally low andj
yet clear and strong. The prettiest '
selection ' rendered by the Yodlers
was an eclio.song sung by the entire
company. The two young men of the
party are excellent commedlans and
kept tihe audience in a gale of laugh- j
ter by their antics. The contralto!
singer was also a tine vlolnllst and .
her interpretation of the "Spring
Song" brought rounds of applause
from the 'large audience. '- i
During the intermission Mr. j
Bralnerd announced that the four
hundred tickets which the committee
demanded before signing the con
tracts lhad not been signed for. As a
result the members of the committee:
passrd through the audience with'
pledpe cards and enough signature.
were obtained to bring the total to
442, assuring the Chautauqua next(
year. i

WASHINGTAON, July 17. The
president will probably leave Cor
nish on Sunday early, arriving on
Monday to prepare for the cabinet
meeting on Tuesday, Tumulty said.
The situation that has arisen be
tween Germany and She United Statea
over Germany's failure to grant the
American demands growing out of!
the sinking of the Lusltanla will bej
laid by President Wilson before his'
cabinet next Tuesday. .
Several drafts of a note setting
forth the course which the United '
States Intends to follow as a result of i
German reply have been prepared and i
will be. discussed by the president
with Secretary Lansing Monday and
submitted to the cabinet the next
day.
Definite Assertion Expected.
Although officials generally are re
ticent, the purpose of the United
States to continue to assert its rights'
on the high seas probably will be an.
nounced in definite form In the next
note. In authoritative quarters it was'
said that the new note likely would j
Indulge In no extended discussion of
the principles already stated and re
iterated. It became known in official quar
ters, too, that there was little likeli
hood that the United States would
subordinate the Lusltanla lease or
assertion of its right to the intima-
Hons from Germany of a willingness
to have the United States mediate,
between Great Britain and Germany!
in an 'effort to restore recognition'
of tihe-principle of the freedom of
the seas.
Much stress was placed on this
point by Count von Bernstorff, the.
German ambassador, in an informal'
interview with Secretary Lansing,
but high oficlals, recalling that one
effort to mediate on the subject of
submarine warfare and contraband
already has failed, Indicated that
the step was made by one or the
other of the belligerents. i
Inasmuch as Count von Hornstorfl
bad no instructions from hi3 govern
ment and brought no communica
tion from his foreign office, his visit
some officials said, was unlikely to
to cvige the purpose of the United
States to take into consideration sole
ly what was said by Germany In Its

(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
ROME, June 16- (By mall to New
York.) Some of the most effective
Red Cross Relief work of Italy's war
Is being conducted under the super
vision of Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page,
wife of the American atnbasrador to
the court' of Rqme. In n splendid
suite of the Palazza del Drnga, the
ambassadorial residence, Mrs. Page
'has established a temporary work
shop. Tables for cutting and sewing
have replaced the costly furniture
and here busy members of the Ameri
can colony meet to plnn and work for
the soldiers at the front.
Mrs. Page, realizing the need of
assistance, placed herself at the dis
posal of Queen Helena soon after
Italy entered thb conflict. The Amer
ican ambassadress and tho Italian
queen- are warm personal friends.
The queen replied that she would be
most grateful for the American wo
men's help and that she needed two
hundred shirts at once for use In her
hospital on the first floor of the
Qulrlnal.
Calling her friend of the American
colony together, Mrs. Page immedi
ately put her working rooms lri'o a
state of activity. Part of the wirlr Is
given to the wives of men who have
answered their country's call to the
colors. The American ambassador's
wife In this way is contributing to uhe
support of these needy families.
And Mrs. Page, with typical Amerl
can generosity, pays more than the
regulation price for the making of
Bhirts.
Among Mrs. Pag'e. aslstants who
are most active are Mrs. Dunn, wife
FRENCH LOSSES AS
SEEK By BERLIN
BERUX, July 17. The French;
lost 78,300 in the fighting around
Arras, according to an estimate an
nounced by the war office. France
concealed the casualties as the re
sult of this fighting, the statement
snld, but Germany was nble to obtain
the flRiiroa "by various means'. Nine
French divisioiiB are declared to liave
participated In this battle. The third
cnrpB buffered the heaviest losses,
1 fvOOO belnt; killed, wounded nnd
enpturcd. The statement declared
that all of the French attacks near
Verdun had been repulsed.

wife of the first secretary of ths
J American embassy, and Mrs. Webb,
wife dT Dr. Webb.
The work of these American wo
men In Rome Is conducted without
any heralding or confusion. Tiher0 is
never any question of funds for. Mrs.
Page has arranged everything, her
self, upon ja most tlberal basis
Queen Helena has expressed her
doepest gratitude for tho Interest and
activity manifested so promptly by
the American ambassadress and h r
members of the Amrelcnn colony.
Mrs. Page is perhaps the most pop
ular lady in Rome's diploma tie so
ciety. Diplomatic circles never tire
of relating the quickness at her re
partee. Mrs. Page's ready wit and
quiet, decisive replies are famous in
dlpioniatic social gatherings.-
Recently at the Villa Ada where
Mrs. Page was visiting Queen Helena
the latter, first and foremost devot
ed mollher, spoke fondly of the young
Prince Humbert. "You must see my
boy," she said to AmbasRndoT Page'B
wife. "Oh, yos, he Is a handsome
boy; he Is a good boy, but that It
not all. A soul looks forth from my
Bon's eyes. J want you to see him
nnd tell mo If you do not see n beau
tiful soul looking back at you from
his eyes." ' ' ' '
When the youthful prince of Pied
mont stood before the American am
bassadress the latter' looked, at tho
manly little fellow before her and
said quietly, "He has his moUhor's
eyes," - :
Before the departure of the Prince
and Princess von Buelow from Romo
at a diplomatic dinner the wife of
the German ambassador kept Insist
ing upon recounting a list of the
stories concerning French and Eng
lish atrocities ngulnst ! Gorman sol
diers. It was while the ladlos were wait
ing for the diplomats to have their
final words over their cigars. Mrs.
Puge endured with well-bred silence,
as long as possible, the continued and
nerv-rncklng narration of atrocities.
Then, unable to restrain IherBelf fur1
titer, she Burned to the German
princess and said In softly modulated
tones: "Yes, they say the same of
others." ' .
