I-Iaking advantage of the growing
lhdl1erence of American opinion. ag
gressiveness of the former submarine
policy has re-opened the Campaign for
more effective use of the submarine
boat
The German people now realize
there is little hope of the war ending
thls summer and may drag into next
year. Facing this fact they are unit
ed in the desire for the war to be
pushed with the utmost yigor until
the allies are brought to terms.
This feeling. spreading gradually
throughout the empire, has served to
open up the opinion of men who con-
uemned the chancellor for yielding to
the United States in the recent suh.
marine controversy.

ment has the upper hand, but recent

Dellef that suspension has been fol-
lowed with the same success.
Germany still holds the weapon Of
the submarine. Ii is impossible ~
forecast what would be the result If
regard for American opinions gives
way more and more to determination
for aggressive measures to bring the
war to victorious end
The presidents peace talk before
the league to enforce peace has caus.
ed their interest to veer away from
America. At anw rate it is held here
that the presidents failure to obtain
a response has not aided his intfu-
ence.
During recent conversation with
public men have noted a general
change in the attitude toward Amer
lea.

RESIGNATION EXCTTES
BRYN MAWR STUDENTS
Sensation Over Retirement of
Official of Self-Govern-
ment Association

Bryn Mawr College, usually placid and
evenly serene, has what It considers Il
sensation today In the resignation of Miss
Gertrude Cheney from the treasureship
of the Student Self-Government Associa-
ton,
This organization deals purely with
questions which concern the student code
etiquette, campus propriety, and similar
problems of mutual concern. 1t has
nothing to do with scholarship, eNamna-
tions and subjects that come within the
meaning of the so-Called "honor system
The college authorities attend to that.
For "a years the Student Self-Govern-
ment Association has managed things
calmly and comfortably 1t has had no
ruptures, has caused no sensations. Miss
Cheneys resignation marks the first
break in its hitherto happy course.
The explanation that Is being discussed
is that a girl friend of Miss Cheney's
broke n rule, and. rather than live up to
the associations requirements Miss Che
ney resigned. She was asked who the
girl was and what rule was broken, and
all she would answer was this:
81 resigned from the association be-
cause [ wouldn't report her ono namc)
and now that I'm out I'll surely be silent
There was no man in it, though, you may
be sure of that"

An angry threat rose from the crowd
He was taken to the 9TH and Carpenter

Still in defiant mood when the police
questioned him, he declared that the shoot
ing was none of their business. Finally
through an interpreter, he said that he
was attacked early today by a fellow coun-
tryman who had nursed n grudge against
him ever since they lived in Naples two
years ago This man, according to Prin-
go, attacked him with a club this morning
and beat him numerically. Several cuts
and bruises on his body seemed to bear
out this statement
He said that he bought the gun to kill
his assailant as soon as his wounds were
treated He could not explain however,
why he shot wildly up and down the
street. Finally, he said that he did this
to improve his aim, as he wanted to be
sure to kill the man he hated when he
saw him.
on account of the conflicting statements
made by Pringo, the police believe that
he is demented Little was known about
him in the neighborhood. He came to the
Washington avenue house about five
weeks ago.
No person knows much about the blind

He was we'll liked in the neighborhood.
