TO MOBILIZE
COLLEGE WORLD
. (By Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.-Preliminary
steps were taken to put at the dispos-
al of the national government in the
event of war the trained scientific re-
sources of the American college world.
William Mcclellan. dean of the
Wharton school Of the University Of
Pennsylvania and a member OF the
advisory board of directors for New
York state of the naval consulting
board yesterday issued a call for a
conference in Washington next Satur-
day OF representative alumni of all
the leading universities and colleges
of America to organize an lntercol-
legiate intelligence bureau whose OBJ
ject is to mobilize the trained human
resources of the country.
The call was telegraphed to the
presidents Of the leading universities
and colleges of the country. A great
many replies had been received early
last night, not only endorsing the
movement but announcing the APP
pointment of representatives to at
tend the preliminary conference.
The international situation had a
marked effect in enlistments at the
army, navy and marine corps recruit
ing stations here. Reports received
from points throughout the state also
indicate increased enlistments. Appli-
cants showed a preference Tor the
naval and marine corps.
Pending mobilization orders from
Washington naval militia officers here
completed plans to recruit to full war
strength and the possible formation Of
additional formations.
A detachment of Atty marines from
the Philadelphia navy yard was plac-
ed on duty at the New York Ship
Building company's plant at Camden,
N. J., as q guard for the superdread-
nought Idaho, which is about SIS per
cent completed. The private guard at
the plant has been doubled.
Presentations for closing the Ger
man consulate began yesterday with
the removal of the coat-of~ arms OF the
imperial government from the front
OF the consulate and the name plate
from the door. Quiet prevailed at the
Austro- Hungarian consulate.

RAISE
$4,000
FOR Y"
Campaign for New Building
at Agricultural College
Bearing Fruit

Twelve thousand dollars was the
sum announced today by Ray Sweet
man, secretary Of the agricultural col
lege Y. M. c. A.. as the amount
secured from friends. alumni and
former students over the state, toward
the new association building, which Is
to be erected this year at the entrance
to the college grounds. This is a most
remarkable response considering the
crop conditions of the past year.
1t will be recalled that last spring
campaign was put on among the stu
dents and professors at the college.
which netted $4,000. This stands, and
will stand for years as one OF the rec
ord achievements of college work
that the students Of the college are not
interested in securing a building for
their association work. But the asso-
citation cabinet was not satisfied to let
things stop there. Five Of them pur-
chased Ford automobiles at their own
expense, and during the summer visit
ed all parts Of the state with the above
happy results.
It is evident that both the student
body and the friends of the agricul-
tural college over the state are vitality
interested in the welfare OF the std
dents. The citizens of Fargo cannot
afford to be any less interested. In
the approaching Y. M. G. A. campaign,
Feb. 1926. the citizens Of the COM
munity will have an opportunity OF
showing their interest. Fifteen thou
sand Of the $4,000 asked for will go to
this building project. This amount,
sources, will build, equip and furnish
a small endowment for the organiza-
ton. Every day the campaign gains
momentum and Roadway.

OUT .
OF COMMISSION
FOR MONTHS
(By Associated Press.)

Boston, Feb. THE refugee Ger
man steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie,
built at a cost of $4,50O,OOO has been
rendered useless for months by the
disabling of her engines, 1t was dis
covered yesterday by Captain John b.
Coyle, an engineer of the United
States coast guard service. He re-
ported to the assistant secretary OF
the treasury, Audrey ]. Peters, that
his examination indicated a deliberate
attempt to cripple the liner. The cyl
inders of the two high pressure en-
gines, according to information from
an authoritative source, were found TO
have been destroyed. A piece of steel
about three feet long was cut out OF
each cylinder, rendering the engines
useless, and bot heads, fastening the
cylinder heads, were knocked off. 1t
was said to use the steamer it would
be necessary to install new engines.
AS a result of the discoveries de-
cision was reached to attempt Grimm
al prosecution of those who may be
found responsible for the damage.
The Kronprinzessin Cecilie. through
civil suits against her owners which
are pending in the federal courts, was
in nominal custody Of the United
States marshal from November. 1914,
when she came here from Bar Harbor,
Me-. until Saturday night, when Mar
shat John ]. Mitchell took physical
possession Of the vessel on the de-
mand of New York banking institu-
tions which were the libellants. Fed
eral officers are understood to have
agreed that under the circumstances
the damage to the ship constituted an
offense. against the United States.
The CeciIie now is manned by
agents of the federal marshal.

GERMAN VIEWSON
BREAK With .. 5.
(Bv ASSOCIATED Press.l


Berlin, Feb. 5, via London, Feb. t.
The announcement Of the diplomatic
breach between the United States and
Germany came as a total surprise to
the bourse, but did not cause panic.
Stocks in general were considerably
weakened, but no overwhelming offers
tended entirely to unsettle the market.
PotaEh and other war babies" suffer
ed least, though they declined, while
shipping stocks were harder hit and
mining stocks and oil suffered some
what.
The newspapers exhausted the sub
ject in the morning editions, but
Count Won Reventlow returns to the
subject in an editorial in The Tages
Zeitung, mainly devoted to showing
that neutrals will not suffer as much
under the German submarine meas
ures as they have under English
tyranny" If only they use the chan
neIs allotted to them and no longer
put into English ports.
Regarding the United States Won
Reventlow said: 1.-THE further action
of America will be watched with
particular absorption. The breach
certainly will not be taken lightly by
us, but that does not mean 1t is de-
cisive. Hope, even though 1t stands on
very weak feet, does not need to be
given up that the final still can be
avoided.
"The government of the United
States so far has maintained q cool
attitude toward the more diverse
breaches of International law on the
part of our opponents and has taken
no energetic step. One needs to recall
merely the starvation efforts. which
without an effective blockade - and
such is non eXistent-are absolutely
counter to international law.
"For the North American mercantile
marine there remains open a wide
field Of activity and shipping men will
best serve their own interests If they
kept their vessels away from the
blocked district Only unwise people
get in the way Of conlbatants from
curiosity, stubbornness or material
reasons. ...-- .
THAT WHICH applies to North Am
orleans applies also to European neu-
trails. They are at liberty to trade
with all those who are not participant
ing in the war If they do 1t outside the
blockade and on the routes specified
by Germany as safe"
This and other papers refer with
more or less surprise to the reports
from the United States that German
ships in American ports have already
been conf1scated and draw no hope
full conclusions from this act If the
reports are verified.
Several newspapers today say that
a majority of the Americans here ap-
pear to desire to remain in Germany,
of what happens and point
out that this certainly will be possi-
BILE, as Germans bear individuals not
the slightest i'll will.
Should war develop, it will be keen

MARQUIS SPEAKS
TO PEACE LEAGUE
(By Associated Press.l

Philadelphia. Feb. THE Marquis
of Aberdeen, former governor gen.
eral OF Canada, in an address at the
dinner of the League TO Enforce
Peace here last night declared that
every British subject could join in the
welcome which has been so widely
and heartily accorded in Great Brit
ain to the announcement that the
United States has taken UP the chal-
lenge passed down by Germany. and
thus leading neutral nations in cham
pioning the enforcement of respect
for international law and right.
Former President w. III. Taft, who
also spoke, reasserting his declaration
in favor OF mild form Of conscription
as the best means of rendering our
military strength adequate.
Lord Aberdeen said that while the
in England over this
country's action was hearty, there
was no attempt to exhort or hurry the
United States toward a further mo-
mentous step. This he said, 'furn-
ishes one more proof of that respect
full and cordial friendliness toward
this country, which / insist is the
prevalent attitude of the British peo-
pie"
In approving the objects of the
League to Enforce Peace the Marquis
said IL was very encouraging to OBJ
serve that there appeared to be an
increasing consensus OF opinion az 70
the need Of such a movement.

SWEDEN WORKING
FOR IMPORTS
(By Associated Press.)

Stockholm, Feb. 6.-via London, Feb.
THE first step for the encourage
ment of imports has been taken by
the rigsdag by the adoption of a bill
materially extending the powers Of
the state insurance commission. This
commission was empowered under
the law of July 1915, to insure Swed-
ish vessels only for an amount not
exceeding so per cent of their value
and in no case exceeding two million
crowns, for steamers and 100000
crowns for sailing vessels, at, a prem
ium rate not exceeding per cent.
The new measure permits the insur-
ance Of foreign vessels as we'll as
Swedish and the commission may in
sure for the full value of the vessel
and cargo. No maximum is set. The
new law removes the limitation on
the premium rate and authorizes the
commission also to issue accident
policies for masters and seamen. The
shipping companies are still waiting
to see what the next few days will
bring forth.
The railway authorities have decid-
ed to withdraw. beginning February
10, passenger trains having aggregat-
ing $4,000 kilometres daily.

Declaring that If the board Of super

Rapid Transit & Land Company would
slip the county gold brick, Supervi-

for what he claimed was disregard
of the spirit of the plans and specifi-
cations for inst lliing the tracks in the
new location at kapiolani park.
When the fight was on over whe-
Their the ironWood trees should be cut
Hatch held that the county had no
legal right TO use park land for street
purposes, but when Lt found the board
would not follow his advice he asked
that the cGriler OF the park at Park
lane be preserved, and to this the
board agreed. =
Last night Hatch called the boards
attention TO the stakes which the
transit company ah driven so close
to the corner that the two trees there
win be destroyed if the tracks are
laid along that route. The plan calls
for the tracks to be .lail at least 10
feet maukaI0f the trees.
