ship.’
Fiveo German seamen were re

after the German craft took ref
uge in Gjessingfport in neutral
Norway.
Norway protested to the British
government, and has asked the
return of the prisoners, compen
sation, and'in future, respect for
Norwegian territorial waters.
Official quarters here took a
grave view oi tne act.
“The crime in Norway presents
us with an entirely new state of
affairs in war policy and in war
technique, the effects of which
can not now be foreseen in the
slightest degree,” said Adolf Hit
ler’s now newspaper.
“If old idiots and tiny criminal
minds were not at the helm in
England, then they would know
that Germany has the habit of
striking back.”

We wish to thank advertisers
who gave us: permission to run
their copy in Tuesday’s paper
instead of today.

penses. He estimated these would
be about $175^000.
Mayor Kelly pointed out that
the Democrats had awarded their
convention to Chicago for a guar
antee of $125,000.
The Republican date was set to

TEAMS FAST
Camden’s polo team plays Pine
hurst at three o’clock this after
noon on the number two field in
what should be a colorful spect
acle provided the weather man is
kind and good. Early Sunday
morning when The Outlook was
being put to bed, the prospects
were only so-so.
This is the second in a series
between Camden and Pinehurst.
The opening game, played in Cam
den early this month, was won by
Camden, 7 to 6. It so happened
that a pony, Little Lance, kicked
the winning goal, thereby attrac
ting national attention. Ripley is
making a “Believe it or not,”
from the incident.
Regardless of today’s weather,
Earl Shaw and Merrill Fink, who
are handling the Pinehurst polo
club announce that Sunday polo
will be a regular attraction dur
ing, the remainder of the season,
when many a sunny afternoon
will greet the players, the ponies
and the gallery.
With a break m the weather
the number two field will be sur
rounded by automobiles and the
Tally-Ho will arrive from the Car
olina with pink coated trumpeter
blowing automobiles out of the
way of the handsome four-in-hand.
Among the spectators will be
the largest gathering of North
Carolina sporting editors ever
assembled in Pinehurst for one
event. A special program has
been made out for them and their
wives.
Pinehurst will present a strong
side, and hopes to avenge the
earlier defeat and bring the
series to one game each.
The public is invited to attend
the Sunday game in Pinehurst, for
which a nominal fee of fifty cents
per person is charged.
•Following the game the players
will be entertained by Col. and
