WILSON AGAINST
STOPPING SPORTS

Washington, May 2e.-Nholesalc
abandonment Of college and school
athletic sports during the war is not
advisable, President Wilson believes,
not only because of their value to di-
vert the American people. but because
they contribute to the national de-
fcnsc. In u letter to Lawrence Perry of
the New York Evening Post, made
public today, the president said:
Il would be sincerely sorry to see the
men and boys In our colleges and
schools give up their athletic sports
and | hope most sincerely that the
normal course OF college sports Will be
continued, as far as possible, not only
to afford "A diversion to the American
people In the days to come when we
shall no doubt, have our share OF
mental depression but as a real con-
tributiOn to the national defense. for
our young men must be physically fit
in order that they may take the place
of those who are now of military age
and exhibit the vigor and alertness
which we are proud to believe to be
chara cteristic of our young men,"

War Summary

Although on both the British and
French fronts virtual inaction con-
tinues with trench raiding by the
British and violent artillery duels
between the French and Germans,
1t is expected that these conditions
will long prevail.
The British offensive on the
Arras front cannot be deemed to
have ended until once more they
have thrown their strength against
the 1000 yards of the Hindenburg
line still held by the Germans
west of Bullecourt and straighten
out their line for the heavy blows
that are to come against the
Drocourt- -Queant switch line, on
which the Germans are placing de-
pendence to ward off advance by
their enemies eastward.
Last reports had the British
consolidating the gains made along
the Hindenburg line, and with
these completed the expectation is
that another of the great battles
will soon be in full sway.
Probably finding their counter
attacks against the French around
Moronvilliers too costly, the Ger
mans on Tuesday did not renew
their efforts to regain the last
ground. Instead, they engaged with
the French in violent artillery
duels In the regions of Vauclero.
the California plateau and east of
Chevreux, not forgetting again to
throw numerous shells into the al
ready devastated town of Rheims.
A noticeable diminution of the
fight along the lsonzo front of the
Austro- italian theater has set in.
Only one attack by the Italians is
reported here, according to Vienna,
the Italians attempting to advance
but were stopped by the Austrians.
On the Trcntino front the Austrians
are keeping up their heavy bonn
bardments and infantry attacks.
According to Rome all attacks In
this region habe been repulsed.
In none OF the other theaterS
has any engagement of special i'm.
portance taken place.

MAXIM NVENTs
CURE FOR SUBS

New York. May 22.-Maxim an
nounced today that he had perfected
device which will make ships inn
mune from the dangers Of the sub
marine. He said that torpedoes even
when fired at close range and strik-
ing their targets would explode harm
lessly against the hulls of their In
tended victims. The inventor asserted
that the invention would be demon
stratcd by the government.
"The invention Is practical for every
type of vessel" he said. 1T can be
applied within a few months to the
hulls of ships already constructed. The
only change necessary will be a slight
enlargement of their beams. My de-
vice Is of solid material and encircles
the entire ship from bow to stern. 1t
in no sense resembles screen or net.
