1 WASH0UT ON ROAD
 TIES UP COPPER
 SHIPMENTS TO SEA

That the washout on the line of the Copper River & W. w. R. R. is more serious than was at first re- ported, is the word brought from the westward by the officers of the Admiral Watson which passed through Juneau last night.
 The repair crew for the railroad are reported to be working night and day but it is estimated that it will take at least ten days more to rebuild the long bridge over the Copper and Kotsina rivers which was carried away recently by an ice jam and freshet.
 Until the repairs are made and the railroad is able to haul the ore which is being accumulated at the mine, there will be no shipments from Cordova southbound on the steamers, as the reserve supply which usually maintained there has been cleaned up.

"The report OF Germany's latest
move toward a combination OF japan
and Mexico against the United States
reveals the persistence with which
the Germans are exerting themselves
to estrange Japan from the United

their complete ignorance of the ex-
isting relations Of other nations.
Japan would be committing an
act Of sheer madness il she ever at
tempted to violate her plighted faith

WILSON'S INAUGURAL
TO Be sent ABROAD
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. March 6.-To "set
Europe night" on the position OF the
United States IN the international
crisis today. President Wilson has in
structed that copies OF his inaugura-
ton address be brought to the atten-
ton OF all foreign governments as
'unformatlon."
Out Of the rapid succession OF de-
velopments in the past few days-ex-
posures OF plots against this country,
dilatory tactics and non-action by
Congress and the armed ship situ-
ation-it is the Official belief hero
that misinformation might easily be
going abroad.
Danger OF false reports, miscon-
structlon OF the Presidents words or
activities. has been pointed out be-
fore. and it is understood the Presi-
dents address yesterday had for one
purpose putting of this country as
well as the whole world on the right
track as to his aims.
IL was pointed out that the President
has warned Of the facts that the United
States Is armed and may, if necessary,
be drawn to a more active assertion Of
our rights, and possibly "a more imme-
date association" with the war itself.
On the other hand, the President emu
phasized that Americas was the part Of
those who mean TO vindicate and fortify
| peace that hers is San interest that
transcends the immediate issues OF the
war itself" and that he wishes moth
! ing that can be had only at the cost Of
| another people,
The President is known TO have
studied his inaugural address with
tremendous care and concern.
II was owing to the delicacy Of the
international situation and the tend
ency TO dispatch confused or inaccur-
lte information to some foreign coun-
tries that he NOT only used excessive
care in the preparation of the docu-
ment, but saw TO it that It was promp-
ly and accurately cabled to foreign
countries.

Delaware NEEDS
ENGINEERING hall
Trustees Hope to Get $780,
900 TO Carry Out Ex-
tension Plan
SAY STATE CALLS
FOR DEVELOPED MEN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, March 6.-Reports
from officials of Delaware College
presented today at the meeting of the
Board OF Trustees show that excellent
progress has been made during the
first term and outlined steps now be-
ing taken to increase the facilities of
the institution.
Henry B. Thompson, president of
the board, stated that on the COM
pletion of Wolf Hall there will be
provided adequate facilities for the
department of agriculture. The en-
cheering department now contains
ninety-seven students or 43 per cent
of the total enrolment. The first step
in development of this department,
he said was in securing as dean, Pro-
fessor Cullimore. The greatest need
now is increase in material equip
ment.
Professor Thompson pointed out
that the department was deficient in
laboratory facilities for important
work. A room built for thirty-two
students now was accommodating 81
students. Dean Cullimore has made a
careful survey of conditions and pre-
pared tentative sketches for a build
ing to be erected opposite Wolf Hall
and to be designed for civil, electrical
and mechanical engineering. Such a
building with modern equipment will
cost about 100000 to s350,000.
"Our task now,' sais Professor
Thompson, 'is to start movement
to secure this amount OF money.
"The industries of Wilmington are
in need OF the type of men that we
are developing in our engineering de-
partment and the big development
that we see in our river front in
dustries in Wilmington would war
rant us in making an appeal for the
erection of a building and install
lation OF equipment for the courses

The report of President Samuel c
Mitchell showed that eight students
chiefly men who had returned from tn
| Mexican border, have entered the col
lege for the second term. thus inoreas
ing the total enrolment to 229. tn,
highest attendance in the history of tn
college.
President Mitchell recommended tha
permanent secretary be secured fo
the Y. NJ. c. A. The health of the stu
,, dents is declared TO be excellent Thank

AUSTRIANS WON 7
ATTACK ships Of
NEUTRAL Powers
Tells United States, How
ever, Her U-BoatS Will Sink
Enemy Merchantmen
Seems ANXIOUS TO
AVOID new BREAK
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON, March 6.-Austria
cannot give UP her right to sink
enemy merchantmen she declares
in her reply to the American aide
memoire, received at the State De-
partmnt.
Austria does not, however. include
neutral merchant ships under this
right Hence. authorities are inclined
TO feel that she has stretched a point
in order to meet the American effort
TO avoid a break.
The government, upon FIRST reading
of the party, was inclined to wait for
acts by Austria. Her words, officials
said, indicated a desire on Austria's
part TO avoid break with the United
States, even though she supports the
theory" of Germany's unlimited sub
marine warfare.
More significant still Is the fact that
Austria apparently has no submarines
Of her own wherewith to carry out
even her threat against enemy mer-
chantmen.
Therefore. authorities feel that in
view Of Austria's effort to prevent a
break, It would be advisable at this
time to await developments to see if
she carries out submarine warfare
against vessels other than enemy mer-
chantmen.
The government is not inclined to
break over Endorsement OF a theory
Austria's reply is far less conclusive
than her original note, sent shortly
after Germany's barred zone decree,
