Opposes Direct Taxation.

IF the sentiment of the country were
considered, l have no doubt as to the
action which would be taken. There
would be revision of the tariff which
would give us sufficient revenue and
at the same time prepare us for the
competition which will ensue at the end
of the war and the deluge of imports
which are almost sure to come. I do
not. however, believe that the present
administration will have the Courage
to take this action and as a result, in
order to meet normal expenditures en-
hanced by extravaganza and the ILL
advised special appropriations which
are now under consideration-ill-ad -ad-
vised with the exception of those which
will be needed for national defense
we shall find imposed upon US some
one OF the forms of direct taxation
which I deprecate."

Only Way to Insure Peace. He Tells
U. of P. Chapter, Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. March 1s.-
Newton D. Baker. Secretary of War. ad-
dressing the members of the University
Of Pennsylvania chapter Of the Phi
Gamma Delta Fraternity at their an
nual initiation dinner tonight. said the
American people are a fighting race;
that they are a cosmopolitan race, and
because of their character in these re-
spects they are more inclined to love
the eagle than the dove. He said peace
can only be assured by preparedness to
resist invasion.
Mr.. Baker spoke of the American
troops crossing the Mexican border
and promised that the American people
would be well satisfied with what is
being done in Mexico and the result
to be obtained there.

ticularly, Secretary Baker charged

the duty of young Americans by being
in position to respond to the call
of the nation in case of need.

Preparedness Guarantee of Peace.

The Secretary told the diners that
while he was a member of virtually
every peace organization in the coun-
try, he felt that peace could not always
be obtained merely for it's own sake.
Peace. he said. in the abstract indicates
retiring disposition. but that in the
final analysis it could only be assured
by preparedness to resist invasion
Aside from his reference to prepared
ness, Secretary Bakers speech was de-
voted to the value of fraternities. He
left late tonight for his home in Cleve-
land.

Three Big Eastern Eleyens
Will Meet the Varsity
Team.

MoRGANToWN, Jan. s.-With
the closing up Of a game this week
by Manager W. c. Turley with Coach
Foster sanford's famous Rutgers
team for November IL. at New
Brunswick. N. j.. West Virginia's
1916 football schedule assumed an
eastern aspect that is sure to put
the Mountaineers in the limelight
among the larger colleges. West
Virginia now has three games with
the large ones, playing the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania the opening
game at Franklin Field on Septem-
Der 80. Rutgers at New Bruins
wick, n. j., on Saturday. November
II, and Dartmouth at Hanover, N.

reaches seven, Gettysburg being
scheduled to play here on Saturday,
November 4, Wesleyan at Fairmont
on Thanksgiving Day. Marietta at
Parkersburg or Morgantown on a
date yet to be decided and v. P. L.
at Charleston Saturday. October IA.
This leaves two dates open on the
schedule. The University Of Vir-
ginia seriously considered the game
but was unable to adjust their sched-
ule SO as to include the game this
year, but there is a strong POSSIBLE
ity that big clash will be staged
between the elevens in 1917. Mana
ger Turley is putting forth his best
efforts to get two big games for
Morgantown and one of these is a
big western college eleven, the man
agement of which has been favora-
bly, impressed with the attractive
guarantee offered from this end.
Bucknell is being sought also but
SO far, the management shave been
unable to agree upon an open date
for both teams. Manager Turley
will have wide option in selecting
the remaining teams, as he has If
teen different institutions ready to
accept or consider proposals.
West Virginia alumni and students
are jubilant over the success in clos
