BRITISH REPLY ON
 FOODSTuFF CONTROVERSY
Expected at an Early Date-Believed American Protest May Bear Weight.

London, March II, 6.26 D. m.-The British reply to the American note suggesting that Great Britain allow all fOodStuffs to enter Germany in re- turn for Germany's abandonment of her submarine warfare on merchant vessels and her policy of mining the high seas is expected to be forthcom- ing at an early date.
 While the contents of the reply are, naturally, not known. it is possible, as the result of inquiries in authori- tative quarters, to indicate some points likely to carry weikht with the British government and to emphasize Sir Ed ward Grey's reply.
 There is a strong feeling in Down. ing Street that the "quid pro quo'' put forward in the American note does not go far enough. Officials of the foreign office point out that since the opening of the war Great Britain has only once interfered with the supply of food destined for Germany and then only after the German government, by assuming control of all foodstuffs, had abolished the old distinction between the civil and the military population. High German officials have repeat edly denied the British claim that to cut off supplies of food from civilians is a legitimate act of war. Great Bri- view until the Germans by their own act made it impossible any longer to draw the line between non-combatants and armed forces. Furthermore, it is added, Great Britain is now invited by the United States to forego a clear beligerent right, on the understanding that Germany will abstain from com crimes against both law and human

BOXERS
 FORM A UNION
Action Taken by Ring Followers to
 Further Their Cause.

The excessive demands of Australian boxers who have formed union to further their cause" will put an end to boxing in the antipodes, so Al Lippe, the American manager, says in a letter sent from Coogee, Sydney, recently. Sugar Flanagan and Dave Smith, Aus tralians, were leaders in the formation of the union and. according to Lippe, they "are going to kill the goose that lays the golden egg
 Snowy Baker who succeeded Hugh Mcintosh as the boxing impresario of Australia, is the objective of the box CTS demands and according to Lippe he would close down the stadium were 1t not for the fact that he desired to carry out contracts made with three American boxers, Jeff Smith. Frank Loughrey and Jimmy Coffey.
 Lippe warmly defends Baker, stating that he is much more liberal than some American promoters. There are some boys here getting s2,000 per fight in Australia who could not get more than S100 in America, and these are the ones who are so eager for the establishment of the union.'
 Lippe in his letter stated that Georges Carpenter, the European heavyweight champion, refused an of fer of $5a,000 to fight three men in Australia short time before the war started.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET HAD FIRM uNDERroNE.
Sale of New York State Bonds a Help
 fuI Factor.

New York, March 1.-The reaction ary tendencies of the previous session were lacking in today's stock market, prices showing a firm undertone on a success Of the New York state bond sale, which may be followed by & mu- nicipaI offering of no inconsiderable amount, additional gold imports from Japan, with prospects, of further drafts upon Britain's gold stores in Canada, were factors of sentimental value.
 OtEer developments which contrib uted to the better tone of the market included more record breaking exports and additional price advances in cer- tain finished steel products. Some en- couragement was also derived from latest advlces respecting European and Mexican conditions.
 The sale by the Erie Railroad com pany of a10 Co0,0O0 one year five per cent notes which really constitutes an enlarged extension of a note issue ex- bring April 1 next, gave rise to re- ports of more railway and industrial financing. Prospects of additional ac- ceptance for the establishment of foreign credits also were taken into ac- count
 Exchange markets took on a more variable tone, sterling on London be- ing easier, while greater hrmness was shown in remittances to the continent
 
 to sales of the new Swiss government notes and the new German war notes, for both of which an increased de- nand was manifested.
 More than the usual amount of to- days business in stocks was devoted to the automobile shares, which closed the day with gains of one to six points, Rumors of cash or stock dividends, or some other form of melon" accom- panied their advance. but the trading was confined largely to specialists in those issues. outside interest being negligible. Other semi active stocks made one to two point fains. the chief exceptions being Woolworth. United Railways preferred. AInrdcan Sugar preferred and Southern Railway pre- ferred. Fries were strongest of the railway division. Aotal sales of stocks amounted to 1T2,000 shares. Bonds were mainly irregular, the only feature being the weakness of New York Central debenture sixes.

FRYE WAS LARGEST SQUARE
 BEGGED CRAFT IN WORLD
Was Built at Bath, Me.-Named After
 the Late Senator Frye,

Washington, March 11-Destruction of the ship William P. Frye by the German commerce destroyer Prinz Eitel Friedrich struck from marine lists the pride of the American sailing fleet, in point of size and equipment, and one of the largest square rigged craft in the world. Her loss falls not upon a corporation but upon individual members or connections of the Sewall family, famous among New England ship builders and owners since the days when American clipper ships car ried commerce of the world in all the seven seas and fought the losing battle against steam craft that ended Ameri- can maritime prestige.
 The Frye was built in Bath, Me, and granted registry in 1901, with 3s individuals, six of whom are women, appearing as joint owners. That own erShip has never changed and those who hold allotments of the 128 shares into which the venture was divided are

TRlNITY'S FOOTBALL
 SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
Opens the Season September 26- Schedule ls Stiffer and Longer Than in Recent Years,

Trinity's final football schedule, as approved by the Graduate Advisory board and the faculty, shows one more game that previously announced. Nor wich university will open the season for the Blue and Gold at Trinity field September 25. This early opening is especially gratifying to all interested in Trinity football, as 1t is felt that a strong team should be played before the big Brown team was met at Prov idence, R. l., just one week later. Trinity has usually opened the season with Worcester Tech. but no date could be arranged this year for game at Trinity field.
 No game could be arranged with Bowdoin because Trinity did not wish the long trip to Maine when the schedule included three other trips, and Bowdoin could not come to Hart ford. Bowdoin is replaced by Bates, a stronger opponent in every way. For several years Bates has held the championship of the Maine colleges.
 The schedule arranged by Manager c. B. Spofford. is longer and stiffer than any in recent years, but from all appearances Trinity is due to have a correspondingly better team. The schedule follows: September 25, Nor wtch at Hartford; October 2, Brown at Providence: October g. Bates at Hart ford; October 16. Amherst at Hart ford: October 23, Williams at Will hamstown, Mass; November 2 (elec- tion day), New York university at New York: November 6, Boston col lege at Hartford: November 20, Wes- leyan at Hartford.

New York, March 11.-w11lie R1tchie of San Francisco, former worlds champion lightweight, outfought and outpointed Freddie Welsh of England, the present titleholder, In every round of a fast ten round bout here tonight
 Throughout the fight Ritchie did the forcing. while Welsh spoiled some of his good work by holding in several rounds The champions showing was very disappointing to his many follow CTS. who, confident of his ability to re- peat his two previous victories over Ritchie. bet freely at odds of ' to 5 on the Englishman.
 Ritchie at no time during the bout gave his packers room for any doubts of his ability. and he rushed Welsh all over the ring, sending lefts and rights to the head and body, the body punishment being the more severe.
 Neither man showed any marks at the end of the bloodless battle.
 At 3 o'clock today both fighters weighed under 135 pounds and the ringside weights tonight showed that neither had gained more than a pound since that time.

WANT OLYMPIC GAMES.
PhiIadeIphians Plan for City to Build Stadium to Scat 100000.

A cfty-owned athletic stadium, available for the 1916 Olympic games, is the object of a campaign which be- gan Wednesday when news came from Paris that the next worlds athletic carnival would be held in this coun- try.
 A committee of Philadelphia busi- ness men at once addressed a cable gram to the International Olympic committee, asking for the assignment of the famous games. This is the first step in a vigorous and definite pro- gram for bringing the games to Phil adelphia
 The ability of the city to handle the games will depend upon the erection of a stadium to seat from T5, 900 to 100, 900 persons. Such a structure has been talked of more or less indefinitely for months.
