BaccaIaureate Hymn

To Thee, the Guide Of youthful striv-
ing,
We offer here our lives untricd;
We feel Thy touch, Thy love abiding,
And safe, we yield ourselves to Thee,
In true humanity.
Our lives, the vines that Thou hast
tended,
Our aimlcss growth hast purpose
given.
Our fraility in storm defended,
Our bodies broken Thou hast raised;
TO Thee eternal praise.
Oh may Thy workers willing prove
Prepared through years for service
true,
Thy vineyard bear it's yield Of love,
May worthy fruitage now be Thine,
Oh, Guardian of the vine.

EX-PRESIDENT
IS DETERMI ned
TO MAKE FIGHT
Believes Only Leader
Needed And He Is
Logical Head
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Lord
Robert Cecil, reputed author of the
league of nations covenant, came to
Washington today to discuss with
President Wilson, its chief Ameri-
can champion, the campaign for
bringing the United States bclatcd-
" into the league.
Cecil brc1ght with him a cross
section view of American public
opinion on the subject. He will be
able to give Mr.. Wilson his judg.
ment on the probabilities Of sue
cess for a campaign, led by the for
lner president, in behalf of uncon-
ditional and complete American
membership in the court of interna.
tional justice.
The meeting of the two league
enthusiasts far overshadowed in
significance 'Cecil's meeting with
President Harding.
Will See Harding
The British statesman, arriving
here shortly after noon, will call at
once on tho president. Cecil knows
in advance that he will receive nc
encouragement from Mr.. Harding
and their discussion of the league
issue is expected to center almos;
entirely about the Harding plan foI
American adhesion to the world
court.
From the silent house on 8 street
where Wilson sits, keeping his fin
ger on the pulse of American opin
ION, no word came directly concern
ing the Cecil visit, but it became
known through close friends of the
rccluse ex-president that he has
been looking forward to it keenly.
Well Informed
He has followed Cecil's progress;
about the country as detailed il
press reports and in messages from
friends III the cities Cecil visited
He has carefully gagged already the
popular reaction. He is about as
well informed as Cecil on this sub
ject. But he wants to get Cecil s
personal opinion on the people 5
temper about international affairs.
What Cecil tells Wilson probably
will not change the latter's deter
mination to make fight this year
and next, fer American entrance in
to the league, even should Cecil :
'size up be most unfavorable
Wilson is reported as believing tina,
the league issue needs only a leader
to make it alive and naturally re-
CARDS himself as the logical leader

GOVERNMENT NOW
WILL TRY REDUCE
SlGA r P RICES
Suit Reaches Only Agents
Real C'ulprits
Hidden
By WILLIAM J. LcsH
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
government s next move in the
sugar situation will be an attempt
to bring down prices to consumers.
This will be mere difficult than
the winning of the suit filed yester-
day against alleged sugar gamblers,
officials admitted today. 1t may
be impossible, they said, if the
suit filed in New York will not do
it.
That suit, they said privately,
does not lit the real culprits in the
sugar gouge. 1t hits only the agents
of the actual owners Of vast sup
plics of sugar, who, according to Of
ficials here, are engaged in a. con
spiracy to increase sugar prices and
who have masked their operations
behind a screen of gamblers and
apcculat0rs, at whom yesterday 5
suit was aimed.
Manipulations of sugar prices on
the New York Exchange were, in
other words arranged the gov
ernmcnt ,said, to cloak n worse plot
tc levy tribute on The American
sugar consumer.
