T0 DISCUSS SPORTS FUTURE Executive Committee of National Coi- legiate Association to Meet ‘Washington, D. C.. August 2. In A meeting of the exegutive commit- tee of the National Collegiate Athletic association will be held in Washing- ton on August 2, to discuss the pros- | pects for intercollegiate athletics dur- ing the next collegiate year. This con- forence will be held as the result of the sugestion offered at the meeting of graduate athletic managers in this city some weeks ago. At that time the officers of the N. C. A. A. were requested to confer with the athletic authorities of the various colleges and universities and ascertain as far as possible their plans looking toward a resumption of intercollegi- ate athletics next fall and winter. The replies all advocated a confer- ence to consider, and recommend if possible a program that would ap- peal to all parts of the country as best suited to safeguard the country's in- terests in the present critical situa- tion and at the same time preserve college athletits so far as they may be kept up, without detriment to the military needs. There were many sugestions that the association meet as a whole, but it was thought better that the execu- tive committee convene as originally planned. In order that there may be a general expression of opinion, how- ever, it has been decided to invite all the colleges that care to do so to send representatives to take part in the de- liberations. All have been asked to come to the meeting ready to report on the atti. tude taken, or likely to be taken, by the colleges and associations in their districts. TO DONATE AMBULANCE.

Y., July 9.—Wil- liam Mills, Jr.. who died suddenly at the home of his parents in New Ro- chelle on Saturday night from a hemorrhage of the brain, was tho father of Willlam Mills, who has for some 'time been known as the ‘“Poor Little Rich Boy,” on account of his having inherited a million or more dollars from the estate of his grand- father, Willlam Crossman, who was known as the ‘“Coffee King.” The boy’s parents were divorced and a short time ago his mother died. After her death a legal fight began for his custody, and his stepfather T. Fred- erick Lee, sought to" have his name changed to William Crossman Lee. There has been a wrangle in the courts ever since, and the boy is now in the custody of DeWitt H. Lyon of Port Chester, who was appointed his guardian by Surrogate William A. Sawyer. : The boy was recently before Su- preme Court Justice A. S. Tompkins in an effort by his father to get pos- session of him. At the last hearing the boy testified that he wanted to go with his father but at a former, hear- ing he said he wanted to live and ha brought up by his stepfather. The legal expense, it is estimated, are al- ready about $76,000. The father, Wii- liam Mills, Jr.,, was for many years a member of the New York Athletic club and a well-known oarsman and swimmer. His brother, Charles V. Mills, was drowned when the Lusita- nia was sunk.

' 10.—Held AT U-BOAT STORY Ridicules Alleged Attack on Transports by Submarines The Hague, July 10, (via London)— Count zu Reventlow, commenting on the report of a repelled torpedo attack on American transports, says: ‘““According to the story, .the so- called attack in massed torpedo for- mation was supposed to take place on June 22, so that it is remarkable that | the news is only published now. To start with, we consider the 'whole | story of the attack as an invention : and a calculated swindle.” i Reventlow’s paper then says that . the details of the story sound dilletan- ! tish, and that.it would be interesting to learn what form the massed for- mation attack took, and whether the submarines were visible. “Were they all together?” the ar- ticle continues. ‘“Probably, otherwise the American destroyers could not have scattered them. It was probably carried out like a mediaeval cavalry attack. A beautiful idea, but unfor- | establish a schollarship fund. tunately ridiculous.” 1 Reventlow proceeds to explain that in America this news doubtless was , greeted with triumph and gave the illustrated papers ample opportunity for their imagination and draftsman- ship of ‘“‘the scattering of submarines in closed formation.” He declares | also that it is characteristic of Ameri- | can stories to make the hour 10:30 and the days short, but that it would be impossible to see submarines at | night or in half darkness uniess they were above the surface of the water. The writer says that the report of the second attack ig equally ridiculous and that it is a pity that no descrip- tion is given of the pieces of sup- posed wreckage submarines. “As for these stories,”” the article continues, “it is evident that Ameri- cans must have been in a state of ap- palling nervousness. Apart from this, it could have been foretold that Amer- jcan Generals who cross the ocean to save FEurope would have to have ex- traordinary as well as glorifying ex- periences.” Reventlow adds that the whole ob- ject of this adventure story is to prove the impotency of submarines and the fact that a considerable num- ber of American troops has arrived in France. “We repeat what we said recently.” he writes. “The whole thing is sheer bluff. Only General Pershing. his staff, a few medical men, and perhaps a | few technical experts and airmen have arrived, and nothing more.” Penrose Demands Inquiry. ‘Washington, July 10.—Senator Penrose yesterday offered a resolu- tion calling for the sending to the Senate the dispatches received from Rar Admiral Cleaves telling of two U-boats attacks on American trans- port fleet and its convoying squadron, and also a statement of the number of persons employed by the Committee on Public Information with other data concerning the operations of the com- mittee as the publicity department of the Government.

Washington, July 10.—A new cens | sorship plan has been adopted by the government, and a widespread ex- tension of it is under consideration. In effect it provides for the strictest possible scrutiny of all outgoing cable messages and a Xirtual lifting of tge censorship of incoming, press cable dispatches. The outgoing censorship | will apply more particularly to com: mercial messages. The new censorship plan is the outst growth of the criticism that has been! leveled at the various branches ofi the government which have had to do with supervision over press and coms mercial telegraphic dispatches. Ohel criticism that appealed particulamy’ to officials concerned was that per: sons in this country were permitte to send messages to Europe that might contain information of benefit! to the enemy. In this connection it was learned that the government dise covered that information evidently in-i tended for the German government was being sent by cable from the United States to newspapers in neus tral countries under the guise of news for publication. This has been! stopped. One of the arrests made in New, York last week was the result of l} close examination of a number of in- nocent-looking cable messages filed {n New York for transmission to a neus tral Kuropean country. Hereaftery in accordance with part of the plal already adopted, a follow-up syster! will be used to ascertain if messaget) filed for cabling contain genuine in«! formation or carefully concealed items of military importance to the German government. The America tizen who cahles to a relative fn Switzerland that “Father is ill, com®, at once,” should not be offended i, a Secret Service agent calls at hll, residence to see if father is really il At the other end of the line the per< son to whom the cable message I sent will be investigated. 3 Tt is probable that if the censor- ship on outgoing cables is made .o generally the government will remove all censorship of incoming press dlspatches from France, and even refrain ‘from asking American newspapers not to print certain in- formation which they have been withholding voluntarily from their' readers for patriotic reasons at the request of the government.
