UlItnry Record.

recent happenings " VIII not De map
propriate TO mention with congratula-
tions the record of our military unit
at plattsburR this summer, which re-
fiected high credit upon the univer-
sity and gave evidence that our stu
dents carry the Delaware spirit with
them where ever they go. The out
standing facts were these:
There were az universities and col
ieges represented at the Plattsburg
camp. They were divided into eleven
companies. Delaware won the inter-
collegiate championship in field and
track contests by large margin
stood second, only few points below
the first company. in efficiency and
general rating; and, second In the
baseball contest and In company rifle
shooting. All in all a better record
than any other college there. Della
ware men wore the Delaware DIS on
their shoulders and had right to
be proud of il. An officer at the camp
told me that Delaware was the best
known college at the camp when the
summer ended.
1--WE find ourselves, then, on this
opening day Of the session of 1921
1922, facing a future that is full OF
promise but charged with important
responsibilities which we must not
shirk or evade. We recognize the pos
sibility of making this university an
. agency of power and influence in the
state and in the nation. We resolve
to do our part to bring this about

great educational institution-noi
great in numbers necessarily (Which

denseness of adjacent population and
/ has no relation 10 real greatness) but
great in the highest sense of tbs
word--in the ideals 1t holds, in the
| honesty and thoroughness of the work

of the men and women it turns out
and in the value of its contributions
to human thought.
And making this resolution we ask
ourselves what we must do, to what
we should first address ourselves, to
make the surest beginning toward
carrying this into effect. And our
answer Is that in the first place we
must aim high IL we wish TO strike
high. Noble results never come In
the life OF a person or an institution
from any but the highest aims"
DR.. Hullihen here referred TO the
responsibilities of both the student,

HUNT new TERMS
Renewed War in Ireland Spurs
British Cabinet.
All Possible Ways Out of Tangle
Seem Blocked.

London, Dec. 1.-The possibility of
renewed bloodshed in Ireland COLI
fronts tie British Isles in consequence
of virtual collapse of the peace nego-
tiations which have proceeded under
q, truce for the last five months.
The Sim Fein has stood firm on its
demand for an all-Ireland parliament
as the basis of settlement, at the same
time refusing to concede allegiance to
the British crown. Ulster has refused
point blank to scrap her own parlia-
ment to enter an all-Ireland parlia-
ment under present conditions" on
the ground that she will come directly
under the control of the numerically
superior south.
The latest plans, that for an all
ireland parliament under which Ul-
ster might retain her existing rights
until or unless she changed her mind
has failed with the formal statement
by the Sim Fein delegations here that
it cannot be considered. as a result in
both government and Irish circles the
opinion is expressed that nothing
short of a miracle can avert collapse
of the negotiations and resumption of
the warfare in Ireland.
The government heads are bending
their entire efforts to seeking some
uneXplored avenue of negotiation but
it is believed all possibilities of set
tement have been exhausted during
the lengthy parleys which seem now
to have ended.

Madison, Wis, Dec, Replying to
Postmaster General Hays's statement
that the shooting of a De Pere, Wis.

General Hays said in his letter to the
governor that the matter Of protecting

THE mails must be inviolate," Mr.
Hays wrote. and the department will
go to any lengths to keep them so.
The extraordinary measure of using

TO BE BANKRUPT
Receivership for Germany New
French Proposal.
Paris Believes British Are

Paris, Dec. IA receivership for
Germany as a bankrupt with an
autonomous Rhineland to be exploit
ed by the allies for reparation pur-
poses, is likely to be proposed by
France as an alternative to any more
France as an alternative to any
be suggested by Great Britain, it was
said in official circles here today.
France lays claim to So per cent of
the German payments. Therefore, 1t
was declared any arrangement arrived
at by Great Britain in the absence of
French representative would be re-
sented.
The allies, it is held by French Of
ficials, have full authority under the
terms of the treaty of Versailles to
take Germany's affairs in hand and
to administer her resources in a man
ner similar. to that pursued by the
Turkish debt commission.
Former President Poincare who is
much talked of as the probable sue
cessor of Premier BRAND In the next
governmental change, recalls in his
weekly review of the political situa-
ton that the treaty of Versailles gives
defaults. to control her customs
duties taxes, expectation and coal pro-
duction. He said this must be de-
manded If the reparation commission
thinks it is obliged to give Germany
further time.
The negotiations understood to be
going on row in London between the
British government and representa-
tives from Germany are regarded in
French official circles as a reprisal
for the alleged separate action of
France in making an agreement with
the Turkish nationalist government
at Angora.
Much anxiety is expressed lest
France should find herself faced with
complete accord between Great
Britain and Germany.

SIX ARE KILLED
Two Union Pacific Trains Crash
Near Cello, Ore.
Twenty-Five Seriously Injured
Found in Wreckage.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 1.-Two Union
Pacific passenger trains crashed
headon into each other near Cello,
Ore, ninety-six miles east of Port
land, early today, instantly killing six
persons.
OF the twenty-five injured one was
perhaps fatally hurt. Fireman
Thompson of train No. u, was seri-
ousIy injured and John Gardner, engi-
neer of train IT, suffered a broken
leg.
The Union Pacific's Overland
Limited train No. IT. westbound, from
Chicago, and eastbound No. IL were
both many hours late when they
crashed together on the main line
track.
Train No. -. due to washouts on
the Union Pacific system east of Port
land, was routed over the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle line, when it left
Portland at 1880 o'clock last night.
Number II crossed the Columbia
river at Fall Bridge and had just
started to proceed east over its own
tracks, on the Oregon side of the Co
lumbia, when the collision with No.
II occurred. 1t is believed the de-
touring Of the Union Pacific trains
caused a confusion in train orders.
The trains collided with such force
that the two engines were welded to-
gether. Four coaches, two of each
train, were overturned
All of the dead and injured resided
in northern and nOrthW estern states

said Boyd. Most of those who pay
promptly at the first of the season are
those who have made a systematic
saving for the purpose during the
year. They come in here with their
money in stockings, wrapped up in
handkerchiefs and sometimes it is
necessary for them to carry it in sew
