Il have spoken to DR.. Dumba on sew

would stop the expectation of ammunl-
ton to anv country. l did not quote
President Wilson, but gave this as my
personal opinion
DIR. Dumba in his letter referred to
Col House as follows:
The true ground for the discour-
aging attitude of the President lies. as
his confidant. Mr.. House. already in
formed me in January, and now has re-
peated, is the fact that the authorities
in a serious crisis would have to have

German Trenches Very Close.

An inquisitive visitor thrust his head
up above the lip of the trench. He. had
not been able to see through his loop

trench could have seen any one COM

rif1eman crouched. The man nearest
to the curious one pulled him down
hastily. 1t appears that the Germans

MAKES WINNING FIGHT
FOR MAI. J. A. DAPRAY
Gov. Goldsborough Forces Maryland
Agricultural College Committee
to Rescind Action.

BALTIMORE. Nd. September 22.-At
a meeting yesterday afternoon Of the
executive committee of the trustees of
the Maryland Agricultural College Gov.
Goldsborough led a successful fight in
behalf of Maj. J. A. Dapray. U. S. A,
who Is stationed at the college as mill
tary instructor. Through the governors
efforts the committee rescinded its
former request that the War Depart
ment detach Maj. Dapray and detail an
other officer as his successor. At the
same time the committee decided that
it was not within it's power to act in
the case, but authority. under the rules
of the War Department, rested with
the full board of trustees To that body
the case was referred. 1t will meet at
the Hotel Rennert in this city at II
o'clock Saturday morning.
The meeting was called to consider
the differences which had arisen be-
tween President Patterson and Maj.
Dapray. According to testimony laid
before the committee. these differences
started during commencement week
last June, when the graduating class
secretly prepared and signed petition
OF Maj Dapray. This and other acts
were regarded by Maj Dapray as
breaches of discipline, and as pena lite.
several seniors We're denoted.
Evidence Conflicting.
The evidence yesterday was conflict
ing. 1t was claimed in behalf of Maj.
Dapray that he was given verbal au-
thority by President Patterson to i'm
pose penalties according to his judg-
mert. Other evidence showed that this
authority was not bestowed.
When President Patterson first asked
the board of trustees to request
the War Department to detach Maj
Dapray the board referred the whole
subject to the executive committee
with power to act. The executive COM
mittee met. Gov. Goldsborough being
absent. and. by vote of 3 to 2, for
warded a request to the War Depart
ment to withdraw the major. The War
Department questioned the authority of
the committee to act without the ac-
quiescence of the governor. who. as
commander-in-ch of the state militia,
has a voice in the military course at
the Agricultural College. In the mean
time Gov. Goldsborough had been in
formed of the action of the executive
committee, and demanded that he par
ticipate in its proceedings.
