 The United States is therefore facing its mprepared condition not academically, but practically. As the lack of thousands of mon detracts from the apparent strength of the fleet. so, it is pointed out, the fleet is further handicapped by manifest shortages in sundry essential units. These must be supplied before the country will have well-balanced and efficient fighting force at sea.

DENIAL IS MADE
BY COMMISSION
Story Told by Whitaker, Escaped
From German Lines, Said to
Have Been False.

London. March 2s.-Referrins to
the statements made in the Times by
J. p. whitaker, an Englishman who
declared that he had just escaped
from Roubaix where he lived for 80
months during the German occupa-
ton. that train loads Of food stuffs
sent by the American Relief commits
sion had failed to arrive there. the
directors of the commission in Lon
don gave to the Associated Press last
night the following denial:
I'VE can state positively that not q
single carload. much less q trainload
OF the commissions provisions, once
started for Roubaix or amy other
town occupied in France, ever failed
to arrive.
with regard. to the statement Of
Mr.. Whitaker that the Germans had
taken American white flour and sub
stituted rye flour adulterated with
sawdust, the facts are as follows:
This German flour was not sub
stituted for any American flour. but
was provided by the Germans from
the native French crop as an addition
to the American ration and was the
same flour mixture of rye and wheat
as furnished to the German soldiers.

If War is Declared, "Big Nine"
Conference Will Cancel
Athletic Events.

event of war being formally declared
by the United States upon Germany
when congress meets In its extra
ordinary session April 2, the track
and baseball schedules for this
spring and possibly the football
schedule for next fall of the Biz Nine
conference will be cancelled.
A quiet movement already has been
started among the faculty directors of
the western conference and It is de-
clared to be the unanimous opinion
that should this country become em-
broiled in the world war, all inter-
collegiate athletics should be discon-
tinued.
Professor James Paige, the Minna-
sofa faculty representative, last nieht
would not state definitely that the
college sports would be abandoned,
but tntfmated that the, Big Nine. FOL.
lowing the example Of many Of the
eastern colleges. already had proyid.
ed for such an emergency. ~
The abolishment Of intercolleriate
track and baseball would be the first
step. 1t is declared. Action on whether
or not to cancel the football came
would not be taken until fall. Some
OF the delegates are said to favor re-
tanning football. because Of the large
receipts, and to arrange some plan
whereby q part Of the money would

have been mentioned In connection
with the position. seh s'E''4, :

spring Of building practically his en-

reliable twirlers of last seasons nine,
has left school to enter the Y. M. c..

years team except four were lost by
graduation.
Early practice will be held indoors.
The team will devote the first two
weeks to light training in the A. C..

soon as weather permits. Coach Davis
Is arranging a strenuous schedule for
the team, and he Is anxious to get the
members in condition for play as soon
