Roberts of tfce Houston club will
visit Roger Edmondson on the iattcr’s
V'axah&chie farm and will attempt
to persuade Roger to autograph a
baseball contract for 1917. Just at
present Roger is all torn up by
conflicting emotions. He doesn’t
know whether to put in the sum-
mer 0/ 1817 pitching ball in ihe
uniform of a local Buff or pitching
bay and other things on his Ellis
county farm.
Recently a dea h in the Edmond-
son family put the management of
the Edmondson estate In the horny
hands of Roger. He confided to a

LONDON Jan. 30.—Germany is
keeping as "war prisoners" all neu-
tral members of the crews of the
aimed pprtzes takeu by latest Ger-
man raider according to stories of
neutral survivors from the Yarrow-
dale arriving at Copenhagen enroute
to their homes.
Twenty-sis of such survivors. Am-
ericans Swedes end Norwegians ar-
rived at the Danish port direct from
Germany. They had been iaken from
unarmed vessels captured by the
raider—which all agreed was the
3doi wc— and brought to Swineraunde
on the Yarrow-dale later being re-
leased on their showing of neutral
citi: enship and because the vessels on
which they served were unarmed.
The German official statement on
the Y.urrowdale declared that of the
f6i> members of crews of captured
vessels brought to Swineraunde one
hundred and three were neutrals.
Therefore it is assumed here that
the remaining seventy-seven neutral
survivors are being classed by Ger-
many as members of hostile forces
simply because the) .served or. hostile
merchantmen.
Copenhagen dispatches today add-
ed one more ship to the taider's list
of victims. The British steamer
j Cambrian Range was sunk early in
} December.
I The twenty-six survivors united in
identifying the raider as the German
; t ui-er Moewe and placed her speed
' ait over twenty knots an hour. She
t v.. » described as heavily disguised
l witr guns soy Concealed by false rails
It hat her "formidable character was

Hast he: until March. The rr'dor's
j armament was siren as four large
'puns two smaller ones and four
(torpedo tubes.
I Tin survivor? at Cop-nliagen de-
clared that the meals served a bon 4
the ■ ic* r were mostly macaroni and
biscu'ts and during their confine-
ment in Germany they had nothing
but cabbage and bread.
