The San Francisco Chronicle of May
10 had the following interesting article
about distinguished man of Maine
and his estimable wife:
William Widgery Thomas, Minister
and Ambassador to Sweden and Nor
way for fifteen years under three adj
ministrations, and Mrs. Thomas were
guests of honor at a banquet and ball
given at the Palace Hotel last night
by the Swedish Club of San Francisco.
Thomas, who began his diplomatic
career in 1862 and served as Consul
at Constantinople, at Galatz in Mol
davia, and Gothenburg, Sweden, be-
fore he went to Stockholm as Min
lister to Sweden and Norway, was
largely concerned with bringing
Swedish colonists to America, and is

With Americas debt to John Ericc-

upon all Swedish Americans to follow
the example Of their illustrious COM
patriot and fight for America in the
present war, as Ericsson and thous-
ands of other Swedish Americans
fought for the Union in the Civil War.
In view Of the many times which
the Boston newspapers have been

however, make an official report at the
local naval headquarters, and the mat

TWO PRESIDENTS FAVOR
DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN
Wilson, of u. s., and Tener, OF
National League, Add
Endorsements !

NEW YORK, Jan. 3f.--Marcus M.
Marks, president of the Daylight Saving
Convention, now in session here, today re-
celved letter from President Wilson, in
dorsing the plan for earlier rising in the
summertime.
The letter follows:
Your letter of January 26 unhappily
reached me too late for me to send
letter which would get to you by the
3Oth
/ would have been glad to back up
any movement which has the objects
of the daylight saving movement
The daylight savers today heard John
X, Tener. president of the National Base
ball League, throw little sentiment into
the question.
The subject of daylight saving should
appeal strongly to every man, woman and
child who loves the open, who Is enthraled
by the wies of nature, who see beauty In
the green leaf, seeks life and vgor In the
purpose, who finds the greatest charm in
life that of seeking recreation out of doors.
he said.
Then to prove he was talking brass tacks
and not generalites, he added:
"The American game of baseball never
has had an equal as an outdoor sport and
It is hardly conceivable that 1t ever will
More daylight, more baseball. was Tenerl
argument.
DIR. George A. Kuntz asserted that thu
moving of the clock forward an hour IN
summer would mean a total saving of mil
lions Of dollars. Vienna cut $4,000 of III
gas bill by adoption Of the plan. he said.

STUDENTS HAVE BONFIRE
AND YELL FOR FOLWELL
Dormitory Tenants at University March
About Quadrangle in Remarkable
Demonstration

Tongues of fame that leaned from a hon
fire twenty feet high told the surrounding
country last night that the 1000 students
who live i'm the dormitories were with Bob"
Folwell, the football coach of last years
football eleven. TO a man. 1t was the cap
sheaf to one of the greatest demonstrations
to a single individual in the history of the
quadrangle, and the wild racket of the boys
in the 'dorms" kept up through the night
About this blazing pile n gang of Young
Indians did a sun dance in imitation of the
Choctaws, Apaches and other deniZens of
the plains while they awakened the mid
night echoes with shriIi warwhoops, cheers
for Folwell and derisive croak for the
faculty athletic committee. Crockery was
hurled from the windows, electric light bulbs
went crashing into the fire from the sur
rounding buildings, while a band Of students,
fantastic figures in bathrobes and pajamas
and other appurtenances of the simple life,
pranced around the flaming pyramid, yelling
and roaring in terrific din.
1t was a spontaneous outburst for the
popular football coach and former Penn
gridiron star, and nobody knows just how it
was planned or who started the rumpus
The first inkllng that anybody in the DOR
mitories learned of the coming demonstra-
tion came when somebody started down the
quadrangle shouting "Yea Rowbottom 90

II was less than twenty-four hours after
Doctor Goodspeed had announced to the
newspapers that Folwell was not salts

reputation Of the most successful coach
Penn has had In years was overruled and
n reconsideration ordered. Whether the
meeting to be held today was called at the
instgation of Provost Smith or by Doctor
Goodspeed as a result Of the storm of pro-
test over the dropping of Folwell Is not
known. II is evident. however. that some
pressure was brought TO bear on the faculty

The hghllghts OF yesterdays events fol-

after the announcement of the protest from
the state legislators Folwel was called in
to conference with Provost Smith. Several
hours later 1t became known that the
faculty committee would meet today and
reopen the case.
After coming from his interview with the
Provost, Folwell said that his conversation

pleasant, lie stated that he had laid his
case before Provost Smith and asked that
an investigation be held

Berlin to Name Terms
at Request of Foes


Continued from Pasc One
Allies submit a formal request for Ger
many's peace terms. England and her
allies believe they have sufficiently an
swered the German peace terms, as well as
President wilson's suggestions In the three
notes already written. These outlined very
fully the Entente's aims and the only terms
on which they would be willing even 10
consider n termination OF the war. BUT
England believes spirit of acceptance OF
these terms is a prerequisite to further
consideration by the Allies OF any peace
moves.
First intimation that Germany was
sending another communication to America
was made in dispatches received here Mon
day from Berlin. These followed persistent
reports that the Kaiser would mark ms
birthday by some further peace move.

Telegrams from Berlin were eagerly
awaited today 70 see whether DIR. Won Beth

would allude to President Wilson's peace
league address in a speech he was expected
TO deliver before the Reichstag today.
Previous advices from the German cap
itaI had stated that the Chancellor was TO
make n statement on foreign relations to-
day.
These we're followed. by other dispatches
intlmating that Germany would acknowl-
edge President Wilson's address in such
way as to encourage further peace efforts
This was generally interpreted as meaning
that Germany might outline her peace
terms in Il broad way.
