GERMANY WILL AGREE TO KEEP WASPS AWAY

WASHINGTON, Oct: 11 Germany is expected to agree not to try to blockade American ports with her submarine fleet. She will, however, insist on her right to operate generally along the regular steamship lanes In her attacks upon "enemy commerce." That will be the position which will be assumed when this government reiterates to Germany a similar protest to that which was made against the Anglo-French operations off the big harbors of the Atlantic coast, according to diplomatic officials here who know the facts. Germany, it was said, already has considered the effect submarine operations on this side of the ocean would have on American public sentiment and the trip of the U-53 and U-61 was for the purpose of bringing the matter to a head. Makes Friendly Request The fact that the United States, as the leading neutral, has refused to accept the contention of the entente allies that submarines should be denied the use of American ports is expected to aid In an amicable solution of the submarine question if the United States as now is considered certain makes a friendly request to Germany to keep her under-water craft away from American waters.

Also the moderation of the weather brought out many enthusiasts who stayed away from the opener fearing cold and pneumonia. Applause la Scattering Both teams took the ' field about 12:30 o'clock, and from then on engaged in spirited batting and fielding practice, executing many pretty plys. The multitude, however, maintained a passive attitude and only a few ripples of applause came from the stands.

FIGURES SHOW NUMBER OF MEN WHO WILL VOTE

According to the enumeration of Wayne county voters taken In 1914, there are only abont 359 voters in the county who are not properly registered to vote in the November elections. The total registration In the fiftysix precincts which had reported at noon today was 11,816. This includes the names which were copied from the 1914 registration books. Considering that the remaining nine precincts will at least be equal to the registrations of 1914 1,605, the total registration for the county will be 13,421. It is safe to assume that the registrations in the precincts which have not yet reported will at least be as large as in 1914 and county officials estimate that they will amount to more. The enumeration of 1913 shows that there were 13,730 voters In the county. , ' Because of an increase in population this enumeration is considered somewhat small. Total registrations in 1914 amounted to 12,040. Report of Precincts.
