BAD FAITH OF HIPPOLYrE
Comment OF West Indian Papers OF
the Mole st. Nicholas Affair.


The report that the United States gov
ernment will once more open negotiations
for the acquisition of the Mole St. Nicho-
las has caused considerable discussion IN
West Indian newspapers. The majority OF
the papers can see no good reason why
the United States should not obtain the
mole for Q coaling station. The Colonial
Standard and Jamaica Dispatch, comment
ing on the subject, says:
something ought long since to have
come OF the business had President Hip
polyte kept faith with the United States
government, to whom We have some time
known he stood pledged During President
Legitime's rule, and the revolution Of the
Inhabitants of the north of Haiti against
Legitime's government, II was agreed that
IL the United States government would
support the efforts Of the north. in the
event of success to their arms, Mole st
Nicholas should be ceded to the United
States.
'Zealously did the United States carry
out their part OF the contract but thus far
President Hippolyte has defaulted In rat
flying a positive contract, not but that We
believe he undertook to do more than his
life or his continued occupancy of the
presidential chair is worth TO him. Never
theless there can be no denying that he
stands morally bound by his contract
Under these irrefutable circumstances one
cannot fail to admire the forbearance or
the United States. Mole st. Nicholas is
theirs by solemn contract, ana there are
governments which would at all cost have
insisted on the fulfilment OF the contract
Standard was for a long time subsidized
by President Hippolyte to support his gov
ernment some credit may be given 70 Inv

reply.

manager went on. AT least six OF you are

of the Junior Class.

Inc hazing spirit has made its annsar-
ance at Johns Hopkins University and the
freshmen are having a hard time OF A. Not
content with their class rush last week
says the Baltimore Sun today some of the
junior class have been holding secret meet
ings to devise schemes and pranks that
had Tor their butt the innocent students
who have just entered the university. The
result OF their Vaccinations came to light
Yesterday, when the following proclama-
non greeted the eyes of professors and
students alike at every conspicuous place
around the university buildings:
All members of the class of &c upou
meeting an upper class man must remove
their hats and wreathe their faces with
smiles.
Freshmen must carry tobacco In large
Sanuues Tor the use OF the junior class.
uut are forbidden to own or use a pipe
Freshmen are positively forbidden to
wear or mention the sacred coiors of the
). ID. Y. or to carry anything In the like
ever.
NO freshman will be permitted to pro-
Zane the sacred halls of the GYM with
Pot Socials.'"
These regulations are accompanied nv
several stanzas Of doggerel verse referring
In personal terms to some of the prominent
members OF the freshman class. The POT
Socials" referred to is a comic organization
OF independent membership which has ex-
listed sub rosa for the past two years. Its
OBJECT Is TO put new students "in the SOUP"
lts imitation ceremonies are carried on in
the dressing rooms of the gymnasium.
The proclamation was posted by a few
lusty and venturesome juniors. Armed with
bucket of paste. they proceeded TO aff1x
copies on Levering Hall, on the gymnasium,
on Mccoy Hall anc on the fences and tele-
graph poles in the neighborhood. Their
operations came to a sudden end on the ap-
pearance Of several policemen, who had
been on duty at Harris Academy. The
bucket of paste was abandoned and the
amateur bill posters took to their heels.
Most of the notices were removed under
the orders of the faculty. Dean Griffin
summoned several influential members Of
the class of % and received assurances
that it was not done by the class Of IS.
but by a few of its misguided members. He
said: THE whole affair is too silly for us
to take any notice Of 1 have received prom
ises that these foolish proceedings viii be
brought to an end. and unless anything
serious occurs the faculty will not take q
hand" The boys who posted the notices
say that they intend to insist upon COM
pliance with the regulations which they
have promulgated
