THE reasons why Germany would like to
l. have peace are manifold.
Aside from the fact that she is stronger
now than she will ever be again during this
war, that she is now making war in enemy
territory and holds vast reaches of Belgian,
French, Russian Serbian and Rumanian
lands, there are conditions at home that make
it wise, if not imperative. that the war come
to an early end.
The Germans are docilc and disciplined
people. They love ruler and master. They
apparently delight in being forbidden to do
all manner of things. They are folk among
whom revolutions do not thrive. They have
too wholesome a respect for the kasers
soldiers and the kasers police.
But the ruling caste of Germany appar-
entity knows there is limit to which even
Germans may be driven.
Germany today is a land of thin, un-
derfed, underclothed people. 1t is land

HOPKINS CANCELS
SOUTH ATLANTICS
Colleges to Be Notified Annual
Meet at Homewood Field ls
Called of.

The South Atlantic intercollegiate
field and track meet set for Home
wood Field, May IL and II has been
called off by the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity today. Advices from Balti-
more say that Hopkins viii call off
the athletic program after the Cath
Ollie University baseball game set for
Wednesday.
The University of Virginia, George
town, George Washington and Wash
ington and Lee have announced a
suspension of spring athletic activi-
ties on account of the war.
The announcement that Hop
kins would stop athletic activities ef-
fectively put q stop to plans for the
annual meet. Homewood Field, Bal
timore, had been selected for the an
nual games.
The announcement OF the suspen-
sion of the games is a logical conse-
quence OF the calling off OF the ath-
letic programs of the South Atlantic
Colleges.
Notification of the action of the
Hopkins authorities will probably be
sent to the thirteen representative
colleges IN the section today.

TICKET SALE OPENS
WITH GRAND SMASH
Fans Grab OFF Pasteboards In
Lots of Tens and Dozens
for Opening Game.

VIII Fowler, business manager of
the Washington Baseball Club, and
his corps of ticket sellers, heard
front row" so many times this morn
ing, when the sale for the opening
game, April 20, began at American
League Park, that those two words
will remain indelibly in their minds
for some time to come.
It was = advertised that tickets
would be on sale at o o'clock, but
long before this time a number of
fans had gathered at the park eager
to grab on tickets and beat 1t to
work.
Want Front Seats.
A majority OF them represented or
ganizations, clubs, ETC., and bought
tickets in lots. No one wanted any
thing but seats in the front row OF
the various sections of the stand, II
seemed to those dealing out the paste
boards, but all Vent away satished.
Judging from the sale this morn
ing, it will be an excellent crowo
to witness the opening clash, between
the Griffmen and Athletics. Many
prominent organizations have taken
large reservations, and Fowler was
ali smiles this morning at the way
fans were gobbling up tickets In
punches of tens and dozens.
Make Big Reservations.
Washington Athletic Club, Com
mercial Club, Chamber OF Commerce,
Board of Trade, and other bodies are
among those to hold large reserVS
tions, the first named leading with
batch of 500 seats.
Members of the newly organized
club will occupy seats in the third
base section of the stand. Most OF
the others mentioned have about 3OO
tickets each.
Many prominent Washingtonians
have arranged for their tickets early
One of these is Thornton Chesley'
