winner came from behind and under

running, but neither was good enough

Feature Princeton Meet

Princeton, y. j., May 13.-With just
about the smallest number of entries that
any school sent to the twentieth annual
Princeton InterschOlastic track meet, St.
Adams School, of Washington, today
made up in quality what they lacked in
quantity, and took third place with 80
points. Mercersburg with 50 and Hill
School with As points, managed to get the
first two places.
To two athletes mainly, St. Adams
owes it's splendid showing. Brooke
Brewer, whose reputation as a speed
king made him the logical favorite in the
sprints came up to expectations and tool,
first in both the 9O9-yard and 23O-yard

German newspapers is that the German

the investigation conducted to clear up
the cases. and also that there can be no
talk Of a violation by Germany OF the as
surances given the United States regard

submarine warfare
The newspapers say that three of the
cases referred to by the United States
have absolutely been cleared up, that the
fourth is open to further investigation
when details are furnished. and that a
frank offer has been made to submit the
fifth to arbitration. The Lokal An
zeiger says:
"One should everywhere take as an ex-
ample the correct and humane attitude
of our submarine commanders, instead Of
breaking out into scolding as soon as an
English, French or neutral vessel with
American citizens aboard suffers dam

Capt. Persius. naval expert of the

particularly shows the difficulties under
which a submarine labors in endeavoring
to establish the character of vessel
