Yale University May
be Converted Into Great
Training Camp For u. S.

New Haven, Conn. March 23. - The
possibility of turning Yale University
into training camp was suggested in
an interview given out by Dean Fred
erick s. Jones, of Academic Department,
yesterday.
1T is my hope that Yale men will
stay together as q body if war is de-
clared," said the Dean. I'm case war
is declared and volunteers are called
for / think the college should become
military camp: the dormitories used
for barracks; the Commons for a mess
hall; the athletic fields for parade
grounds. We shall have an armory and
drill hall available, and with some ad-
ditional Government equipment moth
ing will prevent us from being trans
formed into an efficient military train
ing school 1t would be unnecessary
fer any part of the college to leave for
Fort Sill or other camps.
"Of course, the military work would
be the first and foremost consideration
OF the students; extra curriculum ac-
tivities would be abandoned unless the
publications were so reduced that they
could be managed by men who might
not enlist. AS for studies, if it turns
out that there is some available time
for recitationS, ! see no reason for stop
ping them. Drill will not occupy the
entire day, and there should be time
to attend some recitations.
For the first year. l hope that Yale
men Will stay together as a unit. 1t
would be a body of young men with
high ideals acting concertedly for the
best interests of the country"

Herring Fishermen Are
Counted As War Heroes

Paris March 20. The herring
fishermen are counted high up among
the war heroes by the housewives OF
Paris. Braving submarine menaces in
the most dangerous zone, they have
caught enough herring this season TO
drive the smoked variety down from
three and one-half cents to two cents
pound; it enjoys the distinction oil
being the only provision that has gone
back to normal prices.
The mysterious migration of the
herring brings it in immense shoals
from the North Sea into the English
Channel and along the coasts of Nor
mandy at the beginning of October
each year to disappear in February
somewhere off the mouth of the Seine.
In the meantime their feeding ground
is the same as that of the German sub
marine.
Precautions were taken to protect
the fishing fleet this year and its work
was unhindered and prolific. Only
once, at the beginning of the season,
did a submarine emerge in the mid st
of the fleet. 1t found it prudent TO
plunge again without attacking The
fleet was ordered to keep out of the
North Sea this year, which shortened
the season three months out of a total
of seven, yet the catch is estimated at
10000 tons as against $4,000 tons in
a normal year.
The catch was so heavy as to DAM
age the nets frequently and in some
instances they were carried away. One
sloop in two tides landed $4,000
worth of herring at Boulogne The
fleet of 80 big Boulogne "luggers" that
have been engaged in this fishery will,
at the end of the season, be used for
coasting traffic, transporting coal and
grain.

French Look Forward to
Trading With America

Paris, March %. - Etienne Clemen-
tel, Minister of Commerce, is giving
consideration to the expansion of trade
with the United States after the war.
THE interests of America and
France" said he to a correspondent
of the Associated Press, have grown
so. much closer during the war that l
am sure they will continue to develop
when peace comes. The trade policies
of both your country and of mine be-
fore the war made exchanges difficult.
Our financial relations with the United
States during the war make it desir-
able, from our standpoint, to increase
our exports to the United States, and
you, on your side, have been showing
a great interest in expanding your for
eiGn trade. These motives ought, /
conceive, to bring about a new work
ing arrangement, in which both coun-
tries shall treat on a reciprocal basis.
From such information as l have, !
believe that the governments of both
countries will be disposed to take up
this question at the proper time"
NJ. Clementel considers that the
trade barriers between France and the
United States are as much the crea-
tion of the American government as
of the French. 1.-THE obstacles raised
by the French tariff against free I'M
portations from America" said he,
ARE largely the consequence of the
American tariff policy. French manu-
facturers and exporters do not COM
plain against high rates of duty as
much as against the uncertainty of

Herman knisely, chief of the division
of municipal statistics, branch of the
department of labor and industry, from
reports by city authorities.
Erie leads in yardage with 1892

RUSSIA HOLDS TO

New Government Will Be Big
Factor in Wars Prose-

BY Associated Press


London, March 24.-goreign Minister
Milukoff has outlined the attitude of
the new Russian government In foreign
affairs to Il number OF Petrograd and
Moscow Journalists.
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd
quotes the foreign minister as saying:
1--WE shall remain faithful to ell past
alliances similar to that with our al
lies, which will be still further
strengthened and become still more
cordial and sincere. The change in
regime viii ldisperse the distrust our
allies had n right to fell toward the
late government. 1t is Rusia's duty
TO continue the struggle brilliantly
both for her own liberty and that of
all Europe.
BY the change in regime we def
nitely won the sympathy of neutrals,
especially Sweden, while Finland,
thanks to the restoration of her con-
stitution. has become our sincere
friend. Our allies came into touch with
the new regime without an instant's
delay, understanding that the old reg
ime was Il serious hindrance to that
organization of the Russian people
which is necessary for a final triumph.
To-day Russia is no longer a dead
weight in the coalition of allies. She
is a productive force. Henceforth all
rumors of a separate peace must van

tional for freed Russia to come to an

MT. GRETNA CAMP
BEING HURRIED
Legislature Will Appropriate
Money to Put 1t Into Shape
at an Early Day

Immediate steps are to be taken
by the Legislature to make available
for early use the 100000 appropriate
ed for National Guard encampments
but which was not utilized because
of the call for Mexican border SER
vice so that the Mt. Gretna camp site
can be improved. 1t is the intention
TO employ this camp for some military
purpose in the event of war with
Germany and If the National Guards
men are not called out too early in the
spring they may be sent there. 1t is
expected that in the event of war
this camp would be used for organiza-
ton OF volunteer army regiments.
Men are now at work clearing
rocks and trees from the State prop
erty at Mt. Gretna and water lines
VIII be laid when the weather is more
favorable. The improvements pro-
Jected include n system of permanent
roads built according to State stand
ards. extensive water lines, a sewage
system and other things which will
be for the future.
The armory appropriation situation
Is occupying the attention of legis-
lators who are trying to figure out
what can be allowed on the amount
carried in the Whitaker bill. A big
appropriation will undoubtedly be
made. Prompt action will be taken
on the Boyer bill for half pay for
persons connected with State, coun-
" or city governments who may en-
list. 1t will be considered by the COM
mittee in charge Monday or Tues
day.
Arrangements have been made for
the House appropriations committee
TO spend the latter part of next week
inspecting hospitals and other insti-
tutons in the Pittsburgh district.

WHOLE TIME CASE
GETS ADHESION
Doctors Wife Entitled to Com
pensation Declares the State
Board Today

The State Compensation Board in
an opinion by Chairman Mackey has
refused to set aside the agreement for
compensation in the claim of Van
Vert vs.. American High Explosives
Company Pittsburgh, in which the
contention was raised that the hus-
band of the claimant, n physician,
engaged in general practice when
not attending to professional work
for the employees of the company.
The opinion says: 1T must be
borne in mind that the defendant
could have engaged the deceased's s
entire time; that it's own employees
were treated by him at various places
IN that community and that had he
declined to answer any call of the
defendant at any time of day or night
to treat one of its employees, no mat
ter where he might have been, the
defendant could have exercised its
power of discharge. On the day of
the fatal accident the doctor was an
swering a call when his automobile
was struck at a grade crossing and
he was killed. 1T does not seem to
us to be reasonable to hold that the
deceased under these circumstances
could have been held not to be in the
sc " ehiploE LlelI LOT the ue1enu-
ant until he actually was engaged in
his examination or treatment of the
employe of the defendant on the
premises of the defendant"
The Board concludes that it would
not. have power to set aside the agree
ment of compensation.
In another opinion the Board again
refused compensation in the claim of
Ida +. Smith VS.. the City of Reading
on the ground that nothing but hear
say evidence was produced at the
second hearing. 1t has also set aside
the decision of Referee Snyder in the
claim of McClemens vs. Hamilton
Company, on the ground that THE
relationship of cause and effect must
be established by evidence, not by in
ference"
