As the Inclement weather prevented tltv athletic events scheduled for Field I>0)% April 7th, they will he hold Frl duy, April 28Ui, at the Foil- (i rounds, beglnlng promptly ut 2:fto o'clock. jThotfe who hail tliel* names entered for these events need not send hi their na un*s again h.s a^llst of them art1 on tllo, hut thoy may come and take part In those events. Tlvero will Ih? several J slight changes In the. events from the programme as at tlrst published. The 100 yard dasli for girls and boys ft to 12 years, will he 50 yards instead of 100 yards. Tho 24 Inch hurdle raeo for Khls will Is* tnit out. A :i0 luoh hurdlo ra<v will 4?o added for boys 15 to 18 years and there inay l>o several other slight changes aud new events added, announcements of which, should thero bo any, will be made in a few days. ? Tho young men who came over from Columbia are expected to return to Ah rtbft in the athletic events Friday, Ap ril 28th. Those schools that have closed, or will be closed before the 28th, will not be debarred from taking part In the athletic events. They are expected to take part just as Lf tholr schools were in session. There may bo others who would like to take part and If their names are sent In l>ofore Friday, 28th, they will l>e allowed to take part. En tries for the 80 inch hurdlo race are open from any school by pupils 15 to 18 years of age. If warfare it. bo, can not bo carried on! without the most pal|mh|c violations of ! the dictate alike of right and of hu- j inanity. Whatever the disj>osif'Jon and j intention of the lmi>erinl German gov ernment it has manifestly proved im possible for it to keep such methods of attack upon the commerce of its ene- j mles within the hounds set by either the reason or the Heart of mankind. i Armed Merchantmeu "In February of the present year the Imperial German government informed this government and the neutral gov ernments of the world thfct It had rm son to believe that the government of j (treat Britain had armed all merchant vessels of British ownership and had given tlieim secret orders to attack any (fabmarine of the en<\*ny they might encounter upon the seas and that the imperial German government felt justi fied in the circumstances in treating all armed merchantmen of belligerent ownership as auxiliary vessels of war, which It ^vould have file rlt?ht to de stroy without warning. The laws .of , nations has long recognized the rtght of merchantmen to carry arms for protection and to use them to rei>cl at tack, though to use them, in such cir cumstance. at their own risk : but the imperial German government claimed the right to set these understandings aside in circumstances which it deemed extraordinary. Even the terms in Which it announced its purpose . thus sot further to relax tin* restraints It hud previously professed its willingness and desire to put upon the oj>erations of its submarfnees carried the plain implication that- at least vessels which ' were not armed would still be exempt from destruction without warning and that j>ersonal safety would b(j accorded their passengers and crews; but even that limitation, if it was ever practi cable to observe has in fact constituted no check at all uixmi the destruction j of ships of every sort. ? - Pledges Given and Broken ?, "Again and again the imperial' Ger man government has given this gov ernment its solemn assurance that at least passcngt*r ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has again and again permitted Its undersea comman ders to disregard those assurances with entire impunity. Great liners like the Xusltanla and the Arabic and mere ferry boats like the Sussex have been attacked without a moment's warning, sometimes before they bad even In come aware that they were In the presence of an armed vessel of the ene my, and the lives of non-combatants, passengers and crew, have been sacri ficed, wholesale, it] a manner in which the government of the United States can not but regard as a wanton and without the slightest color of Justlflca t i <> n . No"TImIt of any kind Bias In fact been set to the indiscriminate pursuit and destruction of merchuuiiiieii of all kinds and nationalities within the wa ters, constantly extending In area ; Where these operations Imve been car ried on ; and the roll of Americans who have lost their lives on ships thus at tacked and destroyed has grbwn month by month until the ominous toll has mounted Into the hundreds. Case of the Sussex "One of the latest and mo?t shock ing instances of this mecnod of war fare was that of the_destructk>n of the French cross-channel steamer Sussex, It must stand forth, as the sinking of the steamer Lusltania did, as so singu larly tragical and unjustifiable as to constitute a truly terrible example of f the inhumanity of submarine warfare as thercommanderB of German ressels have for the past 12 months been con ducting it If this Instance stood alone, some explanation, some disavowal by the German government, some evidence of crlndhial mistake or wilful disobe dience the part of the commander of tbe vessel that fired- the torpedo, might be sought or entertained; but unhappily It does not stand alone.
