The Kaiser will leave the eastern

arrangement for his conference with

Determine TRI-STATE
FATE TOMORROW

The fate of the Tri-State League
will be determined at a meeting of the
organization to be held in Philadel-
phia. It is generally understood
about the circuit that the future is
dark and that there is not much more
chance for the league to regain its
footing and go forward than there is
for Wilmington to be represented in
case something is done to make the
organization perfect for another year.
Tri-State baseball. even in its
palmiest days. has been a failure
financially. Numerous reasons can be
safely advanced for this condition. In
the first place the salary limit has al
ways been out of proportion to the
gate receipts. OF course, there have
been exceptions, but the rule has been
general enough to be disastrous TO the
league as a whole. In other words,
the Tri-State has always "lived beyond
its means"
The Tri-State has always been
looked upon as a gentleman's league
in which the club owners, year by
year. paid out money that they earned
in other enterprises for the support
of a baseball club. There has always
been too much home pride for the well
fare of the pocketbook. Ten years
or more this condition has prevailed
and now these good patron saints of
the Tri-State are unwilling to be the
angels" of the league. They want
the front office" to produce a little
more. at least enough for settings
and cakes"

ished its course. The girls occupied the
seats usually reserved for guests, and
when the members of the June section

Three hundred and one persons who
trespassed on the property of the
Pennsylvania Railroad we're killed
in 1914. These deaths are
charged to so-called railroad acci-
DENTS" yet the railroad was powerless
to prevent them.
Those killed in 1914 on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad while trespassing in
clude people from all walks of life
students, lawyers, painters, statesmen,
miners. soldiers, stationary engineers
and others.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has for
many years conducted an aggressive
campaign against trespassing and the
dangerous practice of stealing rides
on trains Some idea of the awful
waste of human life caused by tres
passing on railroad property-an evil
10 which thousands of deaths are due
every year-can be gained from fig
ures, showing the fatalities from that
cause On the Pennsylvania Railroad,
east of Pittsburgh, alone, in the past

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Feb. l5-Dr Albert
Bushnell Hart. professor of govern
ment at Harvard University, lectured
under the auspices of the Department
OF History of Delaware College be-
fore a large audience In the college
oratory on Saturday evening on the
subject: "The Tribulation OF the Near
East" Dr. Hart stated that there
we're two entirely distinct wars in
Europe today. The one in the west
is between Germany and Great Brit
ian. for which he said the prize Is the
superiority of sea power and possibly
supremacy of sea power throughout
the world. The war in the Near East
DR.. Hart said. was between Germany
and Russia. what are they fighting
for in Poland?" he asked. For War
saw? Not at all They are fighting
that one or the other at the end 1f
the war may be master of CONSTANT
nople."
Dr. Hart said Constantinople was
not only a majestic city but also a
beautiful one, and a prize we'll worth
fighting for in itself. but that there
were other reasons why these two
great nations wanted to be master of
Constantinople, holding as Constanti-
nople does, the commanding situation
upon the waters of the Black Sea.
Russian diplomacy is for a warm wa
ter outlet and who Is to deny that a
frtsaaf ftoffat. ,F ono hunarrJ and Cd. 80
million people should not have IL. AL
though repeatedly defeated, Russia
always returns to her great diplomacy
an outlet on the Black Sea, and she
viii always return until she gets It,"
Dr. Hart said that Germany is espe-
cially desirous to become master OF
ConstantiHople. to carry out the
dream of a railroad from Belgrade To
Constantinople. which is only part OF
great plan and the ambition of Ger
many for a Hamburg to Canton rail-
road, which would mean Germaniza-
tion OF all territory through which
the road would pass.
IF the Russians capture Constanti-
nople, il means that Germany can
not get its road and foothold in the
East. but If the Germans are success
full they will succeed to Turkey
Minor. and If the Sultan does not
speak German he will be made to un.
derstand It. At all events, Turkish
rule In Europe is doomed The bel
has struck. II is now tolling for tn,
Turkish empire" Or. Hart. contend:
that there can be no permanent So
luton until Russia acquires the warn
water port she ought TO have.
Dr. Hart also made an interesting
explanation Of the troubles In tn
Balkan States. and the effect thes
troubles had on the war that is bein
fought in Poland
