PUPIN FORESBES'
U-BOAT DEFEAT
Asserts American Ingenuity
Will Destroy War Craft
1t Created.

Prof. Michael l. Pupin. eminent
scientist. and one Of Americas foremost
inventors in the field OF electricity. told
members Of the New York Academy Of
Science last night that the inventive
genius OF this country soon would over
come the effectiveness Of the submarine
and prove to Germany that the trump
card Of It's ruthless warfare had lost
While he spoke In guardedly general
terms II was inevitable that his audi
ence should be reminded at once Of the
similar prophecy uttered recently by
William L. Saunders.
The Germans ought to have known
that the same inventive genius which
gave them the submarine. will also knock
II out of their hands," he said ''They
did not know IT, owing TO their utter
lack OF subtle psychological discrimina-
tion--but they will know It soon"
Prof Pupin is president OF the Acad-
emy OF Sciences. a member OF the Ma
tional Research Council and professor OF
electro-mechanics at Columbia Cniver-
sity. Last nights meeting, which was
held in the American Museum Of Natu-
raj History. was the centennial OF the
Academy OF Sciences.
The Germans have announced to the
world that unrestricted submarine war
fare Is their trump card" said Prof.
Pupln. "and that they are stalking their
all upon this card. The result of this
latest move OF German ruthlessness has
been most serious: II has forced us into
the war. and we have now to combat
against the very weapon which the In
ventive genius OF this country has pro-
duced. The submarine itself as well as
the instfumentalities employed IN It's op-
Grafton are the product of American In
ventiveness - the same invsrtiveness
which gave birth TO the telegraph the
telephone, the rapid firing gun and the
Tying machine.
The scientific men of this country
comma,d an art which has been devel-
oped here during the last Ave years BY
scientific research Of the very highest
order. Some OF the very best scientific
minds arc confident that they Will soon
employ the art TO convince the Germans g
that the submarine Is very fragile
weapon upon which they have staked
ti.eir ALL
Victory will be ours. and the people
or this country will recognize that after
all scientific research is the most VAIN
able asset which the country possesses. "

'MATRIMONY"A AT PALACE IS NEW
 PROBLEM PLAY
Hits One a Slap in the Face and Comes Right Back with Another
 Upper Cut.

i Some of the movie patrons in Ju- neau will like "MatrimOny" which is 1 presented at the Palace; most of the men will roast the play and the wo- men will say that it is all right. There you are.
 It comes right down to brass Jacks. this "Matrimony" and the question is put straight out-shouid wife do like her husband, if he has fouduess for women, cannot she have fondness for men? Should wife be the one always playing the game to hold her hus- band? Should a husband not try and remember that he must hold his wife?
 Last night there were those in the audience who wiggled in their seats at certain scenes. It is going to hit some one and hit them a rap that will be felt. "Matrimony" is not problem play, it is a delicious bit of every day comedy that takes place in more than one home. Julia Dean plays the wife and before she gets through she has played men ga- lore and incidentally her husband and beat him at the game. The comedy with Ford Sterling is good. This bill is on again tonight and to- morrow.

CREW MEN TURN OUT AT

Coach COnibear Working to Make Up for the Late Start; Will

With fifty and sixty men report ing to him each afternoon, Coach II. B. Connibear is working hard to develop a crew at the University of Washington which will be able to win the laurels of the Coast, when the local crew competes with the eights of Stanford and California on the Oakland estuary. Six crews have been on the water every after noon of the past week, with the 'eX- ception of one, when the snow and cold winds prevented a workout says the Post-Intelligencer.
 Conibcar has not picked his men for the first shell and will not do SO until March 1. when the crews will row through the canal and practice on Lake Washington. In the meantime, he is experimenting
 He is not looking for the strongest oarsmen individually, but is shift ing the line-ups around each night in an endeayor to locate a combin- ation which can work together with spirit and ease.
 Were starting in six months be- hind every other crew in the com- try" said Conibear. "I was not here last fall and could not watch the men work out in their early practice. As a result, I do not know anything about the men and how they will work together. It will take me some time to find the right combiu- ation and when I do, I will only have three weeks to take off the rough spots and get the eight men m shape for the California meet"
 Among the three first crews as chosen by Conibear each afternoon will probably be found the men who mill make up the shell which will finally be chosen to represent the University of Washington. Be- cause a man rows on the first crew now is of no significance, says Coach Conibcar. but the strongest men of the turnout should be found in the three leading crews.
