CLOSE OF THE LECTURE
COURSE AT ST. MARKS

The last of the illustrated lectures
on English church history, will be
given by Canon Nicholson of St.
Marks church this evening. The four
preceding lectures have covered the
course Of events down to the close Of
the reign Of Queen Elizabeth. The
next two and a half centuries reveal
many influences which have left their
characteristics plainly on the present
day life of the English church, and
those in communion with her. Be-
cause these influences have to do with
events nearer to our own day, we are
perhaps less likely to view them in a
right perspective, and it is not COM
mon to consider them from the view
point Of the churchman. Perhaps we
know less about them than about the
great crisis Of some of the earlier
centuries. At any rate, they are mat
tiers Of interest, and worth taking into
account. There will be many interest
ing views illustrating the period. Like
the others, the lecture is free, and a
general invitation Is extended to the
public.

LONDON, PARIS
and PETROCRAD
CELEBRATING

London, March 25.-Depleted by disease,
subsisting on horse flesh and surrounded
by superior force of Russians, the gar
rison at the mid-Galcian fortress of
Przemysl has surrendered to the besieg-
ing army after defence lasting many
months which, up to the present, is re-
corded as Austria's most noteworthy con-
tribution to the war.
Petrograd, London and Paris are cele-
brating the event tonight-Petrograd and
Paris in the spontaneous manner charac-
teristic of those cities, London with 81
lent and grim satisfaction, which is the
Briton's way. The newspapers assert
that the fall of the fortress marks the
most important capture of the war, not
excepting Antwerp, in that it not only
releases considerable Russian forces
which can be thrown into the fiuctuating
struggle in the Carpathians, but opens
the door to Cracow and the plains of
Hungary.
1t is argued. however, that the moral
effect Of the surrender will be tremen-
dous, the theory Of the Allies being that
it will stimulate feeling in their favor,
both in Rumania and Bulgaria, just as
the operations in the Dardanelles are
causing an agitation in Greece and Italy.

Track &c" is Chanaed

Track &c" is Changed
At the regular meeting Of the athletic
council Monday several important decis-
ions were reached regarding the fu-
ture policies of the Colby A. A The
most notable OF these, perhaps, was the
decision to change the character of the
Track CO. from the Old English letter
now in vogue to a block letter, plain
but fiattened vertically so as to contain
the letters "a. A. within. This change
affects all letters awarded hereafter in
the department Of track athletics A
second important action taken at the
meeting was that to grant the Univer-
sity of Maine the date Of June on the
baseball schedule instead of June 5, as
previously arranged and announced.
This change was made at Names re-
quest so that she might have the
Colby game at home for her annual com
mencement week game. 1t was further
voted to sanction a two-year contract
with Maine for dual meets, the first to
be held on May /. The colunctl also
voted to make the necessary contribu-
ton toward the proposed inter-frater-
nifty track cup.

RESPONSIBLE ITY FOR war RESTS
ON GERMANY SAYS SIR edward

London, March 30. AIS P. M.-"War
might have been avoided by Euro
pean conference when and where Ger
many desired" Foreign Secretary Si:
Edward Grey told an audience in Lon
don this afternoon. At the time ne
was acting as chairman of gather
ing whicils was listening to lecture
or the strategy of the war. Contlnu-
Ing along this line the foreign secre-
tary said:
Germany from her experiences i'll
the Balkan conference knew she could
count on our good will and that we
were ready to do last July what we
did before. But Germany refused
every suggestion and on her rests
for all time the appalling responsibility
for the war. We now know that Ger
many had prepared for war. and only
those who have planned for war can
prepare for it,
Amid loud cheers Sir Edward add
ed:
Prussia's Fourth War
This is the fourth time within liV-
ing memory that Prussia has made
war upon Europe. and We are deter
mined it shall be the last.
The expenditure of hundreds Of
millions of money and the loss of mil
lions Of lives might have been avoid
cd by a conference of the European
powers held in London or at the
Hague. or wherever and in whatever
form Germany would have consented
to hold it. II would have been far
easier TO have settled the dispute be-
tween Austria Hungary and Serbia
which Germany made the occasion for
the war than it was TO get success
fully through the Balkan crisis of
two years ago.
In recent years. the foreign score
tary went on to say. we have given
Germany every assurance that any aG-
eressive movement upon her would re-
ceive no support from us We with
held from her only one thing-the I'M
conditional promise To stand aside
however aggressive Germany herself
might be to her neighbor.
