who stick around until the finish. living

their cheers became a roar as Sheriff

pace on the first mile. and Oscar Egg,
the Swiss rider. followed with a squirt
which placed him in front for the next
fifteen minutes. Alternate sprints by

BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown is going to take
track athletics seriously this year,
and when the intercollegiates come
around, the Blue and Gray hopes to
land among the first three winning
teams" is the way John d. O'Reil-
ly talks these days.
The outlook fof successful track

turning out winners for wears, be-
lieves that his present squad will
furnish him a finely balanced squad
which should take many prizes
when competing against the best
athletes in the country.
The nucleus offered Coach O'Reilly is
composed of Captain Eddie Stebbins.
Weidman. and Marshall Low. all three
of whom possess South Atlantic records
in their specialties. but the most en-
couraging thing is the large number OF
capable newcomers at work.
Throughout the winter The Hilltoppers
will work out every day under the skill
ed eye Of O'Reilly. 1t is said that
hoard track will be put in place Just

the mild weather.
Georgetown will very likely put re-

pected to be run on March 20 though
this has yet to be ratified.

Germans
Hostile
To Note

BERLIN, July 26.-The Ger
man people unanimously approve
editorials in the German papers
condemning the latest American
note. conversations with represen"
tative men in all walks of life
elected.
There is feeling of surprise
that the United States failed to
grasp the German viewpoint as to
submarine warfare.
1t seems apparent, however,
that the German people will not
sanction an abridgement of sub
marine warfare, however much
they desire the friendship of the
United States.
Despite the air of finality about
the American note, the belief pre-
walls here that the negotiations
have not come to an end.
The prevailing sentiment now
is in favor of a friendly reply
from the foreign office reassert-
ing the German viewpoint.
The leading papers are a unit
in declaring that submarine war;
fare must not be abandoned. All
declare that the American de-
mands should be opposed.

John Rosene. wealthy Seattle
promoter Of Alaska enterprises,

Rosene's car skidded, aud he lost
control of 1t.
1t went off the road, down part
OF the steep embankment, and
sniashed into big log.
Two of the occupants of the
car were hurtled through the air

Rosene and Miss Marguerite
Huestis Immediately called for
aid, and several persons who had
seen the accident went to their
assistance.
An eyewitness of the accident,
George s. Bartells, local manager

was the excessive speed at which
the Seattleites' car was travel

There was room for three cars

CHICAGO, July 2S..-State's
Attorney Maclay Hoyne today
placed the blame for the Eastland
disaster, where it seems likely
1000 have lost their lives, in a
large measure on the laxity OF
federal inspectors.
IF the inspectors had done
their duty, this would not have
occurred" he said, and added
that he had obtained letters which
proved that just such an accident
as occurred had been definitely
predicted for the Eastland by
experts.
The causes most widely held
for the listing and over-turning
Of the vessel are: her top-heavi-
ness, to which Hoyne referred;
the lack of ballast due to the let
