night. The vessel was kept moving
constantly to protect her cargo Of fruit
from the heat.
The Jose, bound from Santa Marta

teen men on Friday night off the
North Carolina coast. II was after
midnight, when Captain Andersen, OF
the Jose. came upon the ship-wreck-

already been planned.
Mr. Sharp stated this morning that
when the bids we're received for re-
modelling the old dormitory building
which at first it was anticipated would
cost about 100000, it was found that
owing to labor increase and other in
cidentals Il would require S26,00C
more to carry out the original plans
and an additional $4,000 for kitchen
equipment.
It was also found that $4,000 addi
tional would be needed for the install
lation Of the complete equipment fol
wolfe Hall" the new Science build
ing now in course of erection.
In erecting the new science build
ing some grading will have to be
done. and it has been the opinion OF
the development committee that il
possible it would be best to go ahead
this summer and do all the grading
and lay out the proposed boulevard
/ from Main street to the Women's
College along which boulevard fu-
| ture Delaware College buildings will
| be built. Bids were asked for this
work, and the lowest bid was $4,000
This made a total of 100000 need
ed to complete work which the com
mittee set out TO do. and it is fol
these purposes that the new gift viii
be used.
Trustees and members Of the col
lege faculty are elated over the addi
tional gift which will assure thu
carrying out of the extension plani
to that extent this summer.

PETROGRAD, July 17-Profoundly
impressed by the steady Russian ad-
vance which seesaws first at this
point and then at that. the Germans
are massing enormous forces before
Kovel. They are bringing up every
available reserve in the hope of STALL
ing the new Russion moving ma
chine.
The present comparative calm is
deemed here to be a mere prelude TO
the heavy and important fighting.
The fall Of Kovel would be stag
gering blow to the Central Powers,
completely disrupting their plans.
Lemberg would be menaced moro
than ever, the road to the great
fortress OF Brest-Litovsk opened and
the rear of the entire Pinsk region
threatened, necessitating the Ger
mans withdrawal.
Russian officers appear satisfied mo-
only with the situation on the Rus
sian front, but with the spirit Of the
troops which they declare was never
