PRINCETON ADOPTS
A MILITARY COURSE
Year Of Instruction to Count
Toward a Degree, Though
Study Is Optional.

PRINCETON, N. j., April 13.-Prlnceton
took a step toward preparedness to-day
when the board OF trustees at the regu-
lar spring meeting approved a plan for
. one year course In military instruction
rs a part OF the regular curriculum.
The course, which will begin with the
next academic year. will include "A gem
eral discussion OF military history, tin.
theory Of tactics and elementary STRAIT
egy. Although the course Is to be
elective IT IL expected that II will be IN
great demand because Of the fact that
credit will be allowed for completing II
successfully. Students taking the mill
tary course will be passed or hunked
Just as in any other university course.
Al present the War Department is
conducting u series OF weekly lectures
in Princeton on military subjects, but
attendance on these Is purely optional
and no credit Is given for them. They
were originally instituted at the request
Of the students and have been popular,
President Hibben IL a strong advocate
Of preparedness and the course was
probably approved at his suggestion. II
is expected that officers of the army
will be detailed 20 Princeton to take
charge OF the course. Campus sentiment
has expressed tts approval Of the limo.
walton and II has been much discussed
1t Is likely that there viii be- a large
registration in the course, especially in
view OF the fact that the $50 men WIN
have signed to go To- Tlattsbuig aud
other training classes will wish 10 com
plete the theoretical side OF military
science when they return from the
camps.
The trustees dealt "A severe blow "a

be making a decided mistake. according
to officials here. The President holds
that the danger of mistakes Of pre-
cisely this character Is one OF the all
important reasons necessitating a modi-
ncation Of 0erlnahy's entire method Of
submarine warfare.
Germany already has pleaded this ex-
cuse many times, and the President Ia
loath TO consider further excuse of this
nature. He will. II " said, point out
that mistakes Of this kind must In
evitably follow 40 long as Germany pur-
sues her present methods Of submarine
warfare.
Just how far the President will 20 IN
his new demands on Germany Is not
disclosed. Judging from the present
temper OF the President and Secretary
Lansing tho chief characteristic Of the
note will not be 20 much the reiterated
demands ~ the inslstence that they now
be definitely complied with.
Oficials believe the crisis will como
when Germany and the United states
again lock horns over the definite con-
cessions which the German Government
will be asked to make.

A. The issue now stands there is one
WI 0VNAASu "b So Nv
which President Wilson has taken IN
his negotiations with Germany. n this
has been at once emphasized by German
diplomacy, II WAS pointed out to-day.
It IL q fact that the President In re-
spouse to his tendency to delay rather
thar press matters neglected to insist on
DEFINITE pledges from Germany regard
Ing freighters In the war zone about
the British Isles and also neglected "a
get a DEFINITE agreement from Germany
~ TO the exact mcaning OF tho word

Count Won Bernstorff agreed that the
German Government would not torpedo
liners without warning. The President
let the Arabic and all the other cases
temporarily drop to seize on this agree
men,, IL was said by officials. But "
now develops that the President and
Count vun Bernstorff arc ut variance
as to what elmer" means.
Count Won Bernstorff contends that II
means a passenger ship pure and simple
and not a merchantmen In tho ordinary
sense Of the term. The President and
Secretary Lansing contend 1t applies to
certain classes Of merchantmen. Inc
agreement which the President got from
Germany In, II II said. to q certain extent
vitiated by this divergence OF opinion
Secretary Lansing will try TO have TINS
matter cleared up In his next note to ths
Berlin Foreign Office. but Count Hoi
y,ernstorY naturally feels that much
trouble would have beer averted II the
matter had been denniteiy settled wher
IL WAS under discussion before and not
permitted to remain misunderstood
The President II said 10 realize fuis
now that Germany has taken ANITA
OF the fact that he has not been specln'
enough In his previous demands.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that w
had read the official text OF the German
| note. but had no comment To max. OF
IL. The note will be discussed at th'
Cabinet meeting Tomorrow. but As th'
latest news from Mexico has momentar-
! ily o~vershsdowed all other consideration
IL is probable that action may be de
ferred until next week.

The manner In which the conspiracy
was developed and workinen obtained
among loyal Germans war told by Won
kleist to Detective Henry Barth OF Capt.
Tunney's squad. Barth had hit upon
Won klotst through An unusual bit Of
efficient detective work by Capt. Tunney.
The detective captain had obtained from

tain what acids would scause FIRE In

muriatic acid, which under certain condi-
lions would do that.
Inquiry among the 1000 druggists In
tho city showed the average amounts
OF those acids which druggists usually
sold. BY a process sof elimination the
names OF several druggists selling un-
usual amount of the acids were OBJ
tanned. The men who bought. the acid
were h traced. That information.
taken In connection with what was
known about Won Kleist and DR.. Scheele.
turned suspicion to them.
Barth was assigned TO watch Won
kleist. n 70 effectively did he work
that Won kleist took him for a German
secret agent working directly under the
heads OF the system In this country.
Won Klcist said he wished to get AN
audience with h man higher up to tell
him something about DR.. Scheeie. When
Barth spressed him closely he went into
the workings OF the conspiracy.
