Opens Way for Negotiations.

Opens way LOT NcSOlidtlOuS.
Officials today declared that the
Balfour speech opened a direct way
for peace negotiations if the Ger
man war control actually desired to
end the conflict This statement
was coupled with the assertion that
Germany only wants 10 talk peace
as a victor. something which. under
no circumstances. will even be con-
sidered by the United States or the
entente.
Balfour's declaration that Great
Britain is not in the conflict for gain,
officials say is certain 20 have a
good effect in Russia where British
motives have been under suspicion.
And. so far as his declaration that
England Will stand by France is
concerned. officials point out that it
means that Great Britain will leave
to France herself the terms that are
TO be imposed.
VIII Stand by France.
If France. when the peace advo-
Gates meet insists on the return of
the Lost Provinces" then England
will stand by her And, officials de-
clare that il will be for France her
self 10 decide just what she wants
when the end of the war comes
into sight.
Although officials indicated that
their suspicious Of the latest Austro-
German peace suggestions were in
creasing they admitted that they
look for strong diplomatic pressure
10 end the war within the next few
months. The European neutrals
already are feeling the pressure of
the embargo laid by the United
States and diplomatic advices reach

have indicated that they are con
ferring together in an effort 20 de-
termine whether a move for peace
would have any chance of success.
In these conferences Switzerland,

concerned officials reiterated again
today that it will not change its at
titude. 1t is in the war TO throw

And there will be no let-up simply
because peace suggestions are
thrown out in certain quarters. The

seek to increase athletics instead OF
snuffing them out of existence.
Writing In the Harvard Illustrated.
DR.. Sargent declares:
America has q right to look to

they represent, according to my-ob-

arises, cannot something be done to

War Is Unlikely to Stop
American Golf Activities
Unlike intercollegiate Sports, the Game Appeals
Largely to Middle-Aged Men-American
and British Meet Would Raise Sum.

men will play golf who would refuse
any other form Of exercise.
In England the game has been oni-
cially encouraged. Even from the
trenches comes tales Of "Tommtes'
playing golf with skinny sticks" and
improvised balls of all descriptions.
Where golf clubs In England have
suffered financially through loss OF
income the city or town OFFICIALS
have on more than one occasion
made II q matter Of public interest TO
keep the course In playable condi'
tion.
Brings Men Outdoors.
The great bepefit that golf can ac-
complish, however, Is to bring busi-
ness men out OF their offices and Mt
them for marches and military
maneuvers perhaps better than any
other sports these men could take UP.
As far as conscription is concerned,
few players OF note would be includ-
ed In the nineteen to twenty-five age
class. Bob Gardner, Chick Evans,
Jerry Trayers, Oswald Kirby, John @.
Anderson, and other such players are
all over the required age. Francis
Ouinent would be the more prominent
player affected by conscrtption.
There is still another way that golf
for this country might help, a. 1t has
helped greatly In England. The pro-
ceeds from tournaments, exhibition
matches, and even profits In club rev.
enues have been turned over to Red
Cross and other societies abroad, and
the same plan might be put into
operation here.
Vardon, Ray, Taylor, and Braid. the
leading figures in the world OF golf,
played a series Of four ball matches
over the famous courses OF England
and Scotland, and q considerable fund
was raised for the Red Cross Society
at these matches. Professionals on
this side of the water would rally 70
such an undertaking, and the prom
inent clubs would be only too willing
to offer their links and club 40

NOT TO CURTAIL SPORTS
West Virginia University Has 600
Men In Military Corps.

MoRGANTOwN, w. Va, April 16.
Denying rumors that West Virginia
would curtail or entirely lay aside
her athletic schedules for the rest of
this year, President F. B. Trotter IN
an official statement declares that
there will be absolutely no abroga-
tion of the athletic program and that
1T is considered by the authorities
as one OF the necessary accompanl-
ments OF military life.
West Virginia has 900 men under
military instruction, and her mill
tary department has, since the be-
ginning of the university, been one of
the largest among civilian colleges.
Twenty-Five different colleges are
met in spring and fall sports, and to
date only one OF them has suggested
canceling and this one Is not decided.
The Washington times., 1917-04-16

It is not yet determined just what
status golf will have as a competitive
sport during the war. The U. s. G. A.
officials are acting in conjunction
with President George 7. Adee, Of the
Tennis Association, in putting the
matter up to the War Department at
washington and leaving the decision
with the army officials.
In the meanwhile, however, many
golfers Of the cool-headed variety are
urging caution against hasty and mis-
directed action. 1t is felt that golf is
in many ways distinct from the many
other branches of athletics which
have been abandoned summarily.
Men Are Quite Young.
In such sports as rowing, football.
track athletics, and, OF course, all In
tercoIlegiate athletics, the partici-
pants for the most part are young
men between the ages of nineteen and
twenty-five. These are the age limits
proposed In the present bill before
Congress for selective conscription.
Conscription would, therefore, strike
these sports a staggering blow,
whereas golf would be passed almost
untouched. :
This, however, is only q side issue.
As It is played in this country, golf
is the great game for middle-aged
men, 1t is pointed out that IL any
thing can help these men get into
