MERELY AN ACT OF DEFENSE.

Alter the conference neither the
Swiss Minister nor the State De-
partment would discuss the visit, but
it was understood that the Swiss
diplomat had presented informally to
the department the views of Germany
as to the arming of American mer-
chant ships. The German commune
cation was in the form of a protest,
it was stated, and indicated no change
in Gerrnany's announced determine
ton to sink without warning all YES

unarmed, found in the barred zone. Ii
was understood at the State Depart
ment that the German expression will
not call for any reply from the United
States.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and Counselor Polk went over all ar
rangements for clsmping the lid Of
secrecy on all of the usual ship news
distributed through the Treasury De-
partment, which keeps track of all
sailings and arrivals at American
ports. They also discussed the use of
all of the customs service machinery
for facilitating the secret departure
and arrival of American armed ships.
All rules as to the publication Of
clearance papers, and all of the red
tape surrounding the clearance Of ves-
sells will be suspended, and the Fed
eral authorities will exert every effort
to aid the armed merchantmen in
making their voyages under wartime
secrecy. There will be no announce
ment as to the details of the changes
in customs procedure.

the rights of armed merchantmen was

Fast Play and Slow
The good golfer takes but little time

Gardner and Oswald Kirkby merely
step up, hit the ball and move along.
Chick Evans wastes no time up to the
green, where now and then he dallies
over a putt-and putting has been his
only weakness.
Phil Carter takes an abnormal
amount OF preliminary waggles, but he
takes them in a hurry and thereafter
wastes no time, being an unusually
fast worker on the greens.

Harvard's Probe
OF Track Sports
Likely to Fail

Cambridge, Mass, March 1.-THE
track investigation now under way at
Harvard is apt TO prove much ado
about nothing Not that there are not
evils that are throttling the sport, but
because the investigation is being con
ducted in Czar-like fashion and by the
men associated with track athletics and
by them alone.
The effort to right matters on the
track was started with all clesrness
of purpose But the investigation evil
IDENTIFY ran afoul of strong influences.
Unless all signs fail, a generous dose
Of whitewash is due after the under
graduates have forgotten there was
ever such thing as a probe asked.
Harvard track athletics at present
seems TO be suffering from lack OF
capable coaching, insufficient equip
ment and need of financial assistance
from the Athletic Association, inefi-
cient undergraduate management and
lack Of undergraduate interest.
The undergraduate committee II
made up of Ted Clark, the track man
sger in full control; Westmore Will
cox, chairman, and Captain Eddie
Teschner, Harry Minot, Dana Hutchin
son and Coach Pooch Donovan.
Formed for the purpose of putting
the sport on its feet. the committees
actual labor, IL now develops, is TO
arouse Undergraduate interest in the
track. The graduate committee, OF
which W. NJ. Rand is chairman, is com
posed Of c. c. Little, II. Jacques. W. A.
Barron. R. c. Floyd and J. Greenough.
This body, with Captain Teschner, Nam
ager Clark and Coach Donovan. acting
ex officio, was organized last fall, but
hasn't made any great Roadway, II
Chairman Rand's remarks count for
anything.
1.-THE handicap Of drawing few pre-
paratory school stars together with a
lack Of undergraduate interest is a
difficult problem 20 overcome" Rand
says. in explaining the situation.
Unless a new coach is secured the
Crimson will start the season with
Pooch Donovan, capable running
coach, and Dr. Bert Morrill,, handler OF
the weight men, in charge. The jump
ers and pole vsulters will be without
instruction unless another coach is as
signed to the squad.
The Crimson gives promise of having
an excellent team Of runners, though
not an evenly balanced lot. First place
men in the field sports have been few
and far between with Harvard in inter
collegiate meets of late years.
