ATHLKTIC KVKNTH
For County Schools To lie Held Fri
day, April 28th.
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. Be*
