time-raced several nights ago along

road several miles before the cci
dent occurred Gaunt was in the leat
and heard the other car coming along
at rapid speed Fearing an acciden
on the narrow road, if the Garter ma
chine attempted to pass, Gaunt pu
on speed and maintained the Leaf

OFFER WAS REJECTED
Germany it is Alleged Made AID In:
Il term Proposal

Washington July PA secret
chapter of the diplomatic negotla-
lions between Germany and the Unit
ed States which if this government
had needed Germany's proposal mlgh.
have averted the present menace of
an impasse was disclosed today.
After the Presidents first note TO
Germany on the Lusitania case whicn
seemed to demand the absolute ceS-
sat;on of the latter's submarine war
fare. Germany indicated to the state
Department that she would entlre'y
discontinue the operations OF her
submarine war against merchantmen
for aperiod of two or three weeks.
This offer of Germany was coupled
with the suggestion that the omteo
States should employ the interim IN
sounding out Great Britain as u
what she was willing to do to modllE
tho conditions of her blockade OF. Ger
many, particularly as to trade III
foodstuffs with the United States
The State Department however
declined to accept the proposition
Secretary Bryan informed Germany
in an informal way, that this govern
wont could not look with favor on
anv suggestion which carried with Ii
condition that the United States
obtain concessions from Great Brit
ain.
Secretary bryan gave a. MS 'e.''
con the probability that >''eat br''a''
would reply that the United ota'eS
was acing in behalf of Germany
her enemy, and this would weaker
the nosition of the United States II
,rv negotiations which might 1ollo"
INDEPENDENTLY with Great Britain
Otherwise, the Secretary indicated
this government was quite willing
that Germany should cease her sub
marine warfare for the stated pc
riod.
On recirt of this information Ger
many refrained from making th'
proposal in formal manner an'
nothing further was done along thai
line.
1t l. understood, from the German
view as it is known here, that Ger
many,is probably willing to repeat it,
suggestion any time this government
feels disposed to accept it. Certainly
Germany has indicated to the State
Department informally, entirel!
apart from its formal notes on the
Lusitania case, that she has no inten'
ton of giving up any concessions re-
garding her submarine warfare un'
less Great Britain at the same time
comedies something in the matter Of
her blockade Of Germany.

With this vision before them
they have arranged a Community
Day, which is scheduled fol
Thursday, April 29th, and the
first step in the further campaign
which is to be waged, is a great
sales day, at Garvin's local store,
when ladies of the Club will help
Mr.. Garvin's regular salesforce,
receiving for their services a lib
eral per cent of the proceeds of
the day. Naturally, they are boom
ing up trade for the Garvin store,
which will have a large and be-
wildering display of merchandise,
especial for the occasion. Having
large membership and each one
having numerous friends, it is ex-
pected that the sum realized by
the Club will be of considerable
size and the day is being awaited
with much enthusiasm by the
ladies, who are confident that with
it as the greatest nucleus, they
will be able to start building oper-
ations in the near future.

Shipping a carload of flour to

of having it loaded at once upon

Relief Committee of Wilmington

The Delaware organization
dropped the Belgian relief work
about the first of the present year,
to give assistance to the local re-
lief organization; now that this
work has been closed, the commit
tee is doing what it can for the
benefit of the Belgians. Those de-

to take it all. But in the first
eight bars of the Symphony it was
quite evident that there was some
thing doing, and that those short
Jerky little bows meant something
and came from something. To be
brief, it was soon evident that Mr..
Martin is musical, as profession
ais use the term-he has poise,
balance and restraint which are
altogether admirable. He never
loses control of himself or of his
men, nor hurries over a trying,
sustained passage as the amateur
loves to do. In fact, he seems to
hypnotize his men into doing some
thing that sounds like music. In
deed it would be music if the indi-
vidual players could be brow-beat-
en- into playing in tune, but when
an amateur won't play in tune he
simply won't-not even German
"Kultur" could make him, and
Martin isn't the Kaiser. But give
him time, and he may yet make
those violins finish a cadence in
the same key as they began it:
The first movement of the Sym
phony was read admirably, with
dignity and some lightness and
grace, but, Mr.. Martin, it will not
do at all to let your players, in g
Haydn Minuet, use as much dy,
mamie value on the second ano
third beats as on the first-you
mistake musical stress for an ac,
cent, Consequently your Minuet
was heavy, ponderous and bit toe
slow, and surely you would mo-
have danced to it comfortably il
the Gym" afterwards. But the
fact remains that Mr.. Martin is {
wonderland his work shoult
demonstrate to the student bod!
what a commanding personalit,
can do and the value of music al
a means of the broadest, modern
culture.
