newspapers again today are giving
ample space to President Wilson'S
note. assiduously seeking to penetrate
into any possible concealed motive
that may have led the president to
what is considered here a most mop
perfume movement.
According to the Washington cor
respondents of London newspapers,
the opinion in the United states, as
well as here, is that there must be
something behind it, and it is the
opinion of many of the newspaper
writer's that this fact was lnadvertent-
~ revealed by Secretary Lansing when
he referred to the United States as on
the verge of being drawn into the war
The suggestion is put forward by some
of the writer's that what would posi-
bly, so involve the United states
would be a resumption on still
greater scale of Germany's submarine
policy
Opposition still Strong.
The passage in the presidents note
to which the greatest umbrage IS
taken, is the one in which he profess
es to find the aims of both belligerent
groups identical His qualifying

general terms to their own people and
to the world" for the most part

Arludfng to the presidents belief that
the nations are ready to welcome a
league Of peace, the newspaper says:

"With our experience with these
leagues of peace behind us, we should

our fortunes to the vote Of Guatemala,
Haiti, Siam and other nations, large
and small, which would compose such
a federation
The Daily News, one of the most
favorable Of the newspapers to Presi-

FOUR RELAY QUARTETS
TO RUN FOR MICHIGAN
Maize and Blue Also to Have
Strong Sprinters on Penn
Relays

Michigan University yesterday sent
word that they would enter four relay
teams at Pennsylvania's relay race carni-
val on April 2S and 90. They will run In
both the medley races on Friday and in
the two-mile and the four-mile on Satur-
day
Michigan should have very strong
sprint medley team. In Smith they have
the intercollegiate champion of the 22O
yards, while in Ufer or Fox they have a
very good quarter-miler, and Carroll Is
one of the fastest half-milers today.
This team should give Pennsylvania and
Harvard hard rub, and should guarantee
that the winner will go faster than the
record made last season.
1t is In the two-mile race, however, that
Michigan is looking for real championship
honors. with Griest, Fox, Ufer and Car
roll, who last month defeated Cornell in
Buffalo, equaling the indoor record for the
distance. Coach Farrell is confident that
they will make a new record in this event
and come close to the worlds figures.
Michigan will also be represented in the
special events by it's very best athletes.
Smith, the intercollegiate champion. will
run in the 100 yards dash. Wilson, point

ATHLETICS TO
FINISH IN FIRST
DIVISION--MACK
Despite Red Sox Defeats,
Teams Playing Greatly
Pleases Foxy Leader
PREDICTION A SURPRISE
BY CHANDLER d. RICHTER

CEhAfDhEiN Ne tNlOI
BOSTON, Mass April 14--Atthough
the Athletics have lost both games played
against the Worlds Champions in the
opening series of the season, Manager
Mack told his men at meeting this
morning that he was satisfied with the
work Of the team, and he was convinced
that they had an excellent chance to finish
in the first division, IL they hustled all
the time.
Eleven errors have been made by the
Mackmen In two games but Mack claims
that the majority OF these can be at
tributed to lack OF practice, as almost all
Of the mscues were made on chances
which would have been easy for the
offenders II they were in good trim The
excellent work of two young pitchers and
the general spirit of tine players has
pleased Mack greatly.
Macks statement that the team has IN
excellent chance to finish in the first di.
vision comes as a great surprise in view
of the fact that he declared on the eve
of the opening of the season that there
were six better teams than the Mackmen
in the American League and that he did
not hope to finish better than sixth, and
should not be disappointed II the team
finished one notch below. as he was going
to spend the season building for the fu-
ture.
Connie says that the Mackmen will not
be beaten as badly as yesterday again this
season and that the fans will get a run
for their money. He intends to adopt a
new policy In working his pitchers. This
is due, he says, to the fact that he has
found four young hurlers who are capable
of holding their own and, with wyckoff

From Penn state comes the report that
the Blue and White will be represented in
the Penn relay carnival on Franklin Field
by the largest squad of trackmen that ever
wore the colors of the Centre County in
stitution. Under the direction of Coach
bill" Martin they have gone through
the most elaborate preparation in many
years. The squad has been practicing
industriously on Beaver Field ever since
the early spring weather made conditions
suitable.

the hammer throw, and reports say that
he mas been hurting the ball and chain

Many Men for Distances
Half of the entries will compete in the
championship mile, two mile and four
mile relay races. The remaining 16 will
participate in the freshman relay and the

bility of freshmen in special contests will
enable Martin to get his first impression
of his future varsity material.
