KELLY PRAISES
DR.. D. ". DENNIS
IN HIS REPORT

Fine tribute is paid to the services
OF the late Prof. David w. Dennis in
the forthcoming annual report OF
President Robert l.. Kelly of Earlham
college. An excerpt as follows was
submitted today by President Kelly.
First OF all, 1t becomes necessary to
speak Of the death of that beloved
teacher and inspirer of us all, David
Worth Dennis. He spent almost all
Of his professional life in the interest
of Earlham college. His influence for
good transcribed all means of meas
urement or power Of statement So
long as the college exists or the men,
ory Of those who knew it and loved 1t
lasts, the vision which he gave us
will remain and his hopeful, helpful
influence will warm our hearts and
strengthen Cur purpose. At this time,
| can say nothing more except to re-
peat the official resolution Of the
board of trustees.
Feels Profound Loss.
THE board of trustees of Earlham
college feels profoudly the loss Of
Professor Dadid Worth Dennis He

sonalities ever connected with the
college, and he has contributed more
than can be expressed toward making
the college what it is.
His amazing fund of knowledge and
eloquent gift Of speech, his dramatic
power of expression, his irresistible
humor, his never failing optimism, and
above all, his matchless capacity as
an inspirer of youth, constituted for
years one of the priceless assets of
the college. He gave his students
vision, he widened their horizon and
he showed them possibilities and in
spired them with courage to go for
ward. His influence will continue
through the years and those who do
not see him and hear him will hear
of him and will be helped to live
larger and gentler, but at the same
time more courageous lives as his vir-
tues are recounted
The Board would extend to the fam
lily this expression Of its appreciation
and sympathy, and of its unbounded
faith in the ideals of David Worth
Dennis"

HUGHES STEERS
CLEAR OF LOCAL
POLITICAL FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The
Progressive situation in California to-
day continues to occupy the attention
of Charles Evans Hughes.
While there Is great satisfaction in
regular Republican circles over his
declaration at the big auditorium
meeting last night that he has no con-
cern with local affairs, the Progressive
leaders are correspondingly despond-
ent. They point out that fair, equal
treatment for Progressives is not the
local issue, but one which concerns a
party that holds the balance Of power
in the nation in the impending cam
paign.

CHARGE BRITAIN
TRIED TO CAUSE
!. s. TROUBLE

BERLIN, Aug, l9,-That an attempt
has been made in the British Parlia-
ment to embarrass the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
Is the charge contained in the follow
ing item given out today by the semi
official Overseas News Agency:
Lord Crewe in the House Of Lords
recently answered a question which
had apparently been made to order for
creating an opportunity to embarrass
German relations with the United
States and use American public opin-
ion for shielding British intentions.
Sink German Vessels.
Lord Crewe to this intent declared
it possible or probable or an unavoid-
able concern that German submarines
recently sank seven merchant ships
without warning. Lord Crewe further
suggested that submarines fired on
survivors in life boats all of which
shall be taken to mean that the assur-
ances given by the German govern
ment to the United States were
broken
The form in which Lord Crewe ad-
vanced his statement was character
istic. He did not assert but insinuated
which proved there was no real evil
dence back of his words. The circum-
stances however make his silent in
tention clear since he was satisfied
with insinuation instead of direct
statement. The suggestion that Ger
mans might have shot at survivors in
life boats in srttle and is resented be-
cause that comes from a country
which protects the baralong and King
Stephen murderers."
