Rhode Island Institntaon Will Have Football and Other Games Dcspate the Loss of Many Stars.


 Providence. R. l.. May 29.--Brown university has announced that unless som ething unforeseen happens 1t will continue with all branches of athletics when college reopens In the fall. BrownEis apparently we'll satisfled with the course pursued thls spring of con- tinuing with both baseball and track, and although varsity teams have been sadly weakened by the loss of numer- olaG stars, schedules have been car red out and the baseball team will fill its dates up to the close of col lege. -~.. ,@
 Prof. F. w. Marvel. director of ath- lotto, says: We feel that it Is a great opportunity to put athletics in it's proper place. develop new men and give more students an opportunity to participate and compete. Having . university represented by . few stars may win games, but the mere winning of games should not be the chief aim and purpose of educational institu- l tions. Many colleges gave up their athletic schedules when few star athletes loft, thus weakening their teams. Brown continued. Some gave up because % many games were can celled. and they could not, stand the loss. We are taking our medicine and are offering the students an opportu- nifty to play, and at this time when l there should heesomething to take up their minds and attention besides 1 war; VI

and less than an hour later a message signed Clement" and using much Of Prices language, was received by the Hutton office in New York. Price in- sisted that his messages were based on information he had received from other reporters, which he did not consider con fdential, and his own interpretation of the situation.
 ELLIS ON STAND
 George A. Ellis, Jr.. member of the Hutton firm, supplemented the testimony of both Essary and Price. He wrote the warning message, sent broadcast to Hutton's correspondents, which he based, it now developed, on Essary's informa- ton.
 With tears in his eyes, Edwin A. Roper. telegraph operator for Connolly, to whom Essary handed the forecast of the note told today how Boiling had pleased with him to tell the truth, and set him right before the country. Boiling did not know the source of the note, he said, until within a few days.
 For two weeks. said Roper, Boiling was in tears. He said the public looked at him as though his sister had violated the confidence of the President.

BOILING EXONERATED
 BY BROKER OPERATOR
Says Young Man Wept and Begged That Truth Be Given Publicity So That Name Would
 Be Cleared

Washington, February 3.-Two Wash ington newspaper men, J. Fred Essary. head of the Baltimore Sun bureau, and w. w. Price, White House correspondent of the Washington Star admitted at the leak inquiry today that on December 20 they supplied advance forecasts of President Wilson's peace note of Decenl- Der 2l, which eventually found their way to the office of E. F. Hutton & Co.,, New York brokers
 WAS CONNOLLY'S FRIEND
 Essary swore that it was solely through friendship for r. A. Connolly, a Washing ton broker and partner of R. W. Boiling, a brother-in-law of President Wilson, and without financial gain that he pre- pared the telegram Connolly previously testified he wrote and sent to the Hut ton house over his private wire. Such Information as the message contained, Essary said. he gained from consulta- tions with other newspaper men and de- auctions he made from his knowledge of the international situation. He added that he was not one of the group of correspondents confidentially advised by Secretary Lansing that the note was coming.
 Price testified that he sent two mes sages to Chicago brokers, Frederick A. Al6rich and Finley, Barrel & Co, telling them he understood Secretary Lansing was about to issue statement touch ing on peace. He said he was regularly employed to furnish information. Both went to the same address as that of Clement, Curtiss & Co.,, brokers, Chicago.

 The government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the inn perial German govrnment does not in- tend to imply that the maintenance of it's newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and any other belligerent gov ernment, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial gov ernment's note of the 4th instant might appear to be susceptible of that con struction. In order, however, to avoid any misunderstanding the government of the United States notifies the im- perial government that it cannot for a moment entertain, much less dis cuss a subject that respect by German naval authorities for the right of citi- zens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or in the slightest degree be made contin- StHl upOii lilC NOllQtlCt OI eiHN OeACi government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombatants.

STILL HAS HOPE

Notwithstanding this unexpected action of the German government this sudden and deeply deplorable re- nunciation of it's assurances, given this government at one of the most critical moments of tension in the relations of the two governments, l refuse to believe that it is the nten- tion of the German authorities to do in fact what they have warned us they will feel at liberty to do. I can not bring myself to believe that they will, indeed, pay no regard to the ancient friendship between their peo- pie and our own or to the solemn obligations which have been exchanged between them and destroy American ships and take the lives of American citizens in the wilful prosecution of the ruthless naval programme they have announced their intention to adopt.

WOULD DEFEND HONOR

If this inveterate confidence on my part in the sobriety and prudent foresight of their purpose should un- happily prove unfounded; if Ameri- can ships and American lives snouid in fact be sacrificed by their naval commanders in needless contravention of the just and reasonable under standings of international law, and the ooyious dictates of humanity, I shall take the liberty of coming again before the Congress to ask that au- thority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for the pro- tection of our seamen and our people in the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas. l can do nothing less. 1 take 1t for granted that all neutral gov ernments will take the same course.
 NO WAR DESIRED g
 We do not desire any hostile con flict with the imperial German gov ernment. We are the sincere friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace with the gov ernment, which speaks for them. We shall not believe that they are hos tile to us unless and until we are obliged to believe it, and we purpose nothing more than the reasonable de- fense of the undoubted rignts O. our people We wish to serve no selfish ends. We seek merely to stand true, alike in thought and action to the immemorial principles of our people, which have sought to express i'll my address to the Senate only two weeks ago-seek merely to vindicate our right to liberty and justice and unmolested life. These are the bases of peace, not war. God grant that we may not be challenged to defend them by acts of willful injustice on the part of the government of Germany"

HAS NO ALTERNATIVE

All ships met within the zone will be sunk. think that you will agree with me that in view of thIs declaration, Which suddenly and without prior intimation of any kind deliberately withdraws the solemn assurance given in the inn perial governments note of the 4th of May, 1916, this government has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States but to take the course which in it's nate of the 18th of April, 1916, it announced that it would take in the event that the German government did not de- clare and put into effect an aban- donment of the methods of sub marine warfare which it was then employing and to which it now purposes again to resort.
 q have, therefore, directed the Secretary of State to announce to his excellency the German ambas- sador that all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German empire are severed and that the American ambassador at Berlin will immediately be with drawn; and in accordance with this decision to hand to his excellency his na a1nortS
