COLD WEATHER PUTS

Delaware College Boys Won't

MUST PLAY BALL
WITHIN THREE WEEKS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del. March 1S.-The
cold weather the past few days has
greatly interfered with athletictraining
at Delaware College. Assistant Track
Coacf Keyes had planned 10 have the
track candidates out for road work
every afternoon to work off some sur
plus weight, but with the exception Of
Monday the weather was not tit for
even this work. He had hoped 20 get
the kinks out Of the men this way
before the ectual trainir was start
ed on the cinder path The weather
conditions also delayed tie work of
fixing UP Joe Frazer Field for the
coming season.
Coach McAvoy has been ready 10
call out baseball candidates for some
days but has been held up by the
weather. lie will have them out on the
first favorable day as there will re.
main less than two weeks TO get a
team together for the first game with
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute on
April s, even should the weather per.
nit Of starting the practice work
on Monday, which is not likely.
The baseball prospects are very un.
certain az this time. The loss of
Wallace. Geoghegan and Gray. has
greatly weakened the varsity team OF
last year in pitching and hitting. In
case couple Ct good hitters can be
developed to take Geoghegan and
Gray's place. the team would look
pretty good. Il is certain that
another pitcher will have to be
developed as Buck" Hoch will not
be able to do all the box work. Wal.
lace was a great heip in the box last
year. Gilman, a former Philadelphia
high school player, will be tried in
the box. Gilman. injured his arm
early last season and was unable to
show just what he could do. As far
as is known az this time there is
very little baseball material in the
freshman class.

His lag Won Him a Raise.

In the February American Magazine
Hugh S. Fullerton tells the curious story
OF a man who rose to the top of his pro-
fession because one night he drank more
than he ought to. incidentally this man
cut out drinking when he saw that he
was making good. "He came from a
small town, and found job in Armour's
Offices in Chicago. His chief ambition
was to get his fifteen dollars week and
see Chicago night life.
"P. d. Armour had one hobby-pune-
tuality. He had an uncomfortable habit
Of being first at the Office, and of seeing
anyone who was tardy. One day our

Lusitana dispute in the near future
the United States is prepared to take up
in its forthcoming rejoinder to Austria
Hungary's last Ancona note several
phases which officials are said TO be un.
able to agree with.
While the Austrian note in broad
sense is regarded as being most salts
factory, certain officials of the state de-
partment believe Austria's attempt to
Justify the torpedoing of the vessel be-
fore all the passengers were in place
Of safety leaves much to be desired.
Officials appreciate the fact that the
commander of the submarine was pun
ished "for exceeding his instructions" in
failing to take into consideration the
panic aboard the vessel. They are I'M
able, however, to agree that 45 minutes
was "more than sufficient time to aiforn
the persons on board an opportunity for
decentralization" Neither is it consd-
cred that there was justification for the
theory that the commander of the sub
marine torpedoed the vessel to "acceler-
ate" Decentralization, or because a steam
er, presumably an enemy cruiser, APP
peared ON the horizon. Assurances that
such a procedure would not be followed
in the future would be highly accepta BILE.
The state department also would wei
come assurances which would cover Aus
tria -Hungary's intentions regarding the
general conduct of submarine warfare in
the Mediterranean such as have been
given by Germany.

Vermont Financial Centers.

| The Free Press recently called atten.
| ton to the banks of its own city. Ae-
cording to the editorial they number sew
en-, contain the names of 30,394 deposit
tors, and deposits aggregating the colos-
sal sum flor Vermont of Sl5,420, 956.49.
These figures ought to be source of
pardonahe pride to every Vermonter.
They show that our largest city is be-
coming great financial center, that its
fiduciary institutions are managed with
skill and conservatism, and are source
of growing strength to the development
of the Industrial and agricultural inter.
ests OF the state.
But, if we turn to Montpelier, we
shall find that city becoming noted as an
insurance center. The National Life In
surance company of that city has assets
valued at upwards of SOL 100000, and is
increasing those assets at the rate of
over 10 per cent year. The American
Fidelity company of Montpelier has had
a rocky road to travel, but has evidently
passed its difficulties, and now has
smooth running ahead. This institution
has general surplus of 1927 900, a loss
reserve of $4,000, legal reserve of
S24 900 and reserve for taxes of SO 5000.
which ought to be reserve enough to tide
it over any troubles and give it grow
ing prestige and prosperity. Besides
this the Capital city has the Vermont
Mutual Fire company, which has grown
with the lapse of the year, and is a solid
and enduring institution, having its
agents and its risks everywhere
Vermont may well be proud of its
financial institutions which are conserva-
lively managed, and largely used for
the development and upbuilding of its
own state.
in this connection IL may be noted
that Senator Dillingham's father. the |
Hon. Paul Dillingham;, one of the orig |
nal directors of the National Life Insur- |
ance company OF Montpelier, once mort
ragged his home to help tide the institu-
ton over one of its early CRISES. But /
Ne had the faith that enabled him TO
cok ahead and run the risk. and well 4
las that faith been ewarded.-Spring-

NEW PROPOSALS
FROM GERMANY

II was wrong for a commander 10 fire a
torpedo at the liner. In this connection
attention was called TO the fact that
Germany hardly would agree to pay an
indemnity for killing American citizens
should il be considered that the act was
within the law.
The German government is understood
to be most anxious 10 settle the matter
in a manner mutually satisfactory. II
is said however, that the proposal now
before the administration Is considered
to be final. Germany is said TO hold
that she has gone as far as she possibly
can honorably to meet the views OF the
United States.
The negotiations are treated as highly
confidential in official and diplomatic cir.
Giles. For that reason il has not been
disclosed just how far the new proposal
would go toward finally settling the con
troversy An optimistic feeling seems to
prevail, however.
Authorization for the new proposal is
understood TO have reached the German
embassy late last week All informa-
ton regarding the status of the negotia-
tions was refused both at the state de-
partment and at the German embassy.
The document is said to cover about one
and half sheets of ordinary letter-size
paper.
That the negotiations have been near
satisfactory termination several times
within the past few months is known.
The details of what has passed may not
become public, however, as President
Wilson, Secretary Lansing and the Ger
