IN BEn lLF OF PENN
Well Attended Meeting Discusses
Needs Of College.

A conference between the Board of
trustees, members of the faculty,
members of the Commercial Club AMI
Friends Of Penn College, was held at
Oskaloosa. National Bank, last even
ing. The purpose OF the. conference
was to place before a greater number
of people. the pressing needs of the
College, and to devise some way to
meet the requirements imposed on the
school to keep it on the accredited
list.
While it is a fact that the endOw-
ment raised some five years ago prom
ised to put Penn College on a firm
and lasting financial basis, times have
changed wonderfully in the interim.
Other colleges, the direct competitors
of Penn have progressed faster, and
now conditions have arisen that com
pell tn college to spend more money.
Hence another increase in the en-
downent is essential. not only to the
Welfare Of the school but actually to
it's eXiStanCe as a recognized institu-
ton of the first grade.
The increase in attendance has al
so made new buildings an absolute
necessity. A girls dOrmitOry must be
built or Fem will lose fifty to one
hundred girl students, who will seek
these accommodations elsewhere if
they cannot be had in OskalOOsa.
Art OpDenheimer presided over the
meeting and about fifty representa-
tive men were present After matters
had been thoroughly discussed it was
the sense of the assembly that a com
munity Of FIVE be appointed by c. Ed
Rcman. Pres. of the OSkalOosa Com
mercial Club, of whom Mr.. Beman
should be one. to make a thorough
survey of conditions and make a re
port on what should be done to main
tain and enlarge the school and the
Endowment fund. The committee
named comprises Mr.. Beman, Marion
]. Cruzen, R. X. Davis. H. S. Howard
and Col. J. F. Mcneil.

KAISER'S SHIP IS DESTROYED
separatist Leader Attempted to Snug

German Cause.

London, April 25.-Sir Roger Case
ment, the Irish separatist leader, has
been captured from a German ship
which attempted to land arms in Ire
land and was sunk, 1t was officially
announced.
The official announcement says:
During the period between the aft
ernoon of April 20 and the afternoon
of April Il an attempt to land arms
and ammunition in Ireland was made
by a vessel under the guise of neu-
trail merchant ship, but which in real
ity was a German auxiliary, in con
junction with a German submarine.
Sir Roger Captured.
THE auxiliary sank and number
of prisoners were made, among whom
was Sir Roger Easement"
Sir Roger, a knight, and formerly
British pensioner has been a source
of concern to the British government
since a few months after the declara-
ton of war, when 1t became known
that he had gone to Berlin and was
working in the German cause.
Negotiates With Berlin. -.
1t was then reported that he had
opened negotiations between the Ger
man government and the anti-English
party in ireland. 1t was said he had
obtained assurances that If German
army invaded Ireland all native insti'
tutions would be respected.
Early in 1915 his pension of G4OO
granted to him by the government as
a retired consular official, was can
celed on charges that he was disloyal
Shortly afterward he published in Der
lin an open letter to Sir Edward Gray
British foreign minister, charging the
British government with offering his
servant a bride of $4,000 for his cap
, ture or death.
Proposes Alliance With v. S.
He was also understood to have pro
posed an alliance between Germany
Ireland and the United States, but this
was never confirmed.
Sir. Roger was in the British con
sular service for IS years, having
served in Africa, South America
Haiti, Para and Rio. de Janeiro. i
was while he was in the latter cit,
that he made the sensational repor
blaming the British rubber plantation

Washington, April 25.-Oficial opin'
ion in Washington Is that Germany
will make material concessions to the
United States in it's submarine war
fare, but whether enough will be grant
ed to moilify President Wilson Is not
known.
Confidential dispatches from AmbaS-
sador Gerard at Berlin hint that the
German government is prepared to
yield certain points in response to
this governments demand that the
present methods of U-boat attack be
halted at once.
This information, despite the OBJ.
scure character of the advices re-
ceived, has aroused a feeling of hope
fulness for friendly settlement OF
the issues between the two nations.

The main obstacle, it is understood,
is for the Berlin government to find
way to satisfy the United States with
out arousing the faction IN Germany
which demands relentless submarine
campaign. 1t Is understood Ambas-
sador Gerard has received intimations
that Germany will go to great lengths
to retain the friendship Of America If
this barrier can be surmounted.
The understanding is that Mr..
Gerard gained his impressions from
officials of the foreign Office, including
Foreign Minister Won Jagow.

Berlin (via London, April 25.-It Is
understood that the German reply to
the American note will not be deliv

has another opportunity of comforting
with the emperor.
This was learned after Ambassador
Gerard, who was called by telephone
to the chancellor's palace, had held
conference lasting an hour and ter
minutes with Doctor Won Bethmann
Hollweg,,
When he came from the conference
the ambassador declined to give any
information, as to the nature of the
discussion and would not answer {
question as to whether anyone els'
