LATANE SPEAKS 5 BEFORE “CIRCLE” Eleven New Members Elected For 1915 — Address Was Timely , “America’s Interest in the Euro- pean War and in the Outcome” was the subject of a timely and interesting address delivered by Dr. John H. Lat- ane, Professor of History at the Johns Hopkins University last Friday night at the annual public initiation of the Omicon Delta Kappa Society. The exercises were held in the university chapel, and were well attended, espe- cially by those who knew Dr. Latane during his residence at Washington and Lee. The speaker of the evening was pre- sented by Dr. D. B. Easter, who also made a few remarks as to the purposes of the society. At the very beginning Dr. Latane took occasion to emphasize the fact that the United States is and has been a neutral country in theory and in fact since the beginning of the war, in spite of the assertions of some of the belligerents to the contrary. “Neutrality,” he declared, “is not a state of mind or an attitude of certain individuals, but it is the legal status of a country with reference to any warring power or powers, and thus far there is no questioning the fact that this country has maintained that legal status, the statements of some of the belligerents to the contrary not- withstanding. ” Continuing the speaker gave a rapid review of the development of the idea of neutrality in the history of the world, especially since the R_evolution- ary War. He then passed to some of the problems which have arisen be- tween this cmintry anti, the other na- tions of the world from the present crisis in Europe. “One of the great- est questions which has come up is the matter of seizure and search of neutral vessels by the warships of the bellig- erents. Certainly the exercise of this right is quite in accordance with all recognized principles of interna- tional law, but at the same time it is a source of much inconvenience to those powers which are not at all or only indirectly concerned in the con- flict. More than once the United States has been obliged I to protest against such‘ action because it has been carried too far. ” V Dr.Latane next explained very con- cisely the meaning of contraband, con- ditional contraband, and r_ion—contra- band goods, and discussed the impetus given to the commercial interests of the country now and in the future by the confiict. In closing he gave it as his conviction that no nation will be an absolute victor in the war, nor will inter, R. B. McDougle, E. B. Shultz, H. K. Young, Dr.James Lewis Howe, and Dr. John H. Latane.

I‘~I:1tso11, of Roa- noke High School, was the winner of the first heat with Devereux, of Tome School, second. After five heats and the semi—finals had been completed, the finals were contested and resulted in a victory for McCall, of Woodberry Forest, with Matson, Roanoke High, second; Burnette, Episcopal High third and Pace, Greenbrier Presbyte- rial School- fourth. The winner’s time was 10 2-5 seconds. Fleet—footed Elmer Smith gained his first hold on the individual point scoring trophy in the 220—yard dash, and established a new mark. After capturing his heat handily, Smith won the dash by overtaking McCall in the last 50 yards and finishing in the rec- ord time of 22 3-5 seconds. Rosen- berg,Iof Bloomfield High School, came third, while Robb, of the Detroit University School placed fourth. The blonde sprinter from Mercers- burg continued his record breaking pace in the 440-yard dash. With Staub, of the Bloomfield High School, setting a swift gait, Smith virtually walked away with first place, when he sped over the distance in 52 3-5 see- onds. He was not hard pressed. Carroll, of Woodberry Forest, grabbed a third, while Rawson, of Bloomfield, landed a fourth position. The Distance Races The 880-yard run was featured by the superiority of the Bloomfield en- trants, as they captured three of the four places. Garlock, by setting a new record with the time of 2:3 4-5, won first place, with Cook, of Bloomfield High, 21 close second. Caughey of lVIercersburg finished third with Raw- son, of Bloomfield, gaining fourth place. The fourth record to be discarded was the mile. This was the only event in which the vigilance of the officials resulted in a disqualification. Garlock, the elongated sprinter of the Bloomfield corps, outdistanced his competitors with a gruelling pace, and won the event in the record breaking time of 4:49 2-5. The officials re- ported that the winner had cut the course several times on the turns and, that he would be ineligible to be de— clared a victor. Caughey, the Mer- cersburg sprinterfiinshed shortly after Garlock, was awarded first place, with the ofiicial time of 4:51 seconds. Diminutive little Murphy, of Green- brier Presbyterial School.was awarded second place, while Fish, of G. P. S., was third, with St. Clair. of Roanoke, High school, fourth. The Hurdles In the hurdles, the winners of thel ‘ The Field Events I B one existing record fell before i ithe ft of the athletes in the field‘ ;excnt. Paul Devereux, the giant? 200-itound entrant from Tome School and the winner of the Pentathalonl hurled the shot further than the ath- letes at the other two meets were , wonr. to an(l gained a new record. The ,forinidable youngster heaved the shot .a distance of 47 feet 2 inches. -Jones lof Woodberry Forest finished second, 1 jwhile Stewart of Mercersburg was third and O'Brien of Fishburne Mili- tary School fourth. The honor in the discus throw fell to Devereux, also. Throwing straight- away,:\vithout taking advantage of his weight, the Maryland entrant sent the disc 99 feet 6 -:15 inches. Matson’s jerky delivery flung the disc second in distance and landed three points for Roanoke High school. Lucas of GreenbriarPresbyterial school finished third, while Prather of Staunton Mili- tary Academy hurled the pellet fourth in distance. The high jump result was the cause of considerable surprise. This result- _ed in a three handed tie between Smith of Mercersburg, Matson of Roa- noke High school and Jones of Wood- berry Forest. The three vaulted over five feet 4, but could not clear the bar at a greater heighth. Haigh of Detroit University School fell out of the running on 5 feet 3, but landed fourth place. It remained to another Mercersburg entrant to annex first place on the pole vault. Childs’ well-rounded form cleared the bar at 9 feet 6 in. but no other athlete could successfully nego- tiate the same_height. Vance of the Asheville Schools won second place, while Gooch of Fishburne Military School was third and Hammond of Episcopal High fourth. The javelin throw, instituted in the programme for the first time, was an interesting event. Although the result of the hurl did not figure in the scores, it saw a husky Virginian Bailey win over a field of competitors by a large lniargin. Bailey, the lone entrant, lfrom Kenbridge High School, hurled: Ethe javelin a distance of 138 feet 8 ,inches. Stewart of Mecersburg won 1 second rank with a throw slightly over 116 feet,while Helvesterre of Roanoke l High school was third. Devereux l gained fourth place. The closing event enabled Woodber- ry Forest to rank second to Mercer's- burg. McCall, the diminutive sprint- er, jumped 20 feet 2% inches on his third trial, thereby getting the call over Elmer Smith, who had previous- ly sailed aloft over 19 feet 8 inches. iMatson of Roanoke High school finish- led third with Elder of Fishburne Mili-N ‘tary school fourth. ut he The Remy Mac: s l lexpected series of thrills.

Addresses Tar Heels on Personality— ; Lecture Commented on By Uni- I versity Weekly Dr. Henry Louis Smith recently re- turned from Chapel Hill. N. C. where sity of North Carolina. “The Tar Heel, ” the University weekly, speaks of his address as follows: “One of the best addresses of the year was delivered by Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President of Washington and Lee, Tuesday night, April 20 on the subject, “Personality. ” Dr. Smith handled his subject in a very personal and adequate way and left a very lasting impession upon those who heard him.‘ He divided his talk into four methv ods of attaining and retaining person- ality. His first was health. Not particularly athletic ability but 2. good, pure, sound body with all the vitality which attends it. His second he called energy for want of a better term——that which makes a man suc- ceed. In this he said, “Don’t be a box car and have to follow other box cars. Rather be the engine which leads and draws the box car after it. Be an engine and carry your own pow- der. " In his third point he brought out the value of “Old fashioned love” be- tween men. This he said is the basis of true warmheartedness, the stuff that makes sacrifice a pleasure——the lubricant of society. Height was his last topic. This is a matter of ideals. A man could have no great personality without high ideals. His whole talk was gether by clear and apt illustrations so well handled as to be thought by many to have been the best lecture given to the Y. M. C. A. during the year.

R. ‘Neal,President of the Final Ball, that ‘the music for Finals will be furnished ‘by Meyer Davis Orchestra of the New §Willard Hotel, Washington, D. C. This orchestra is recognized as being among the leading musical organiza- ,tions of America, and their music is of lsuch a high order. that they are in fgreat demand all over the country. I A ‘partial list of their patrons will serve to show the reputation which they have attained. since they have played at entertainments given by Mrs. Mar- shall Field of Washington, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. of New York, The Duchess of Malborough, The Duke of Manchester, and other noted society leaders. The expense of securing this orchestra for Finals will of necessity zbe greater than in former years, but t hose attending will be amply repaid bf.‘ the quality of music rendered. 7 WILL cnosvsrlcionriiiiiliirl TO BE HERE FOR FINALS But four additional alumni have lsignified their intention of returning lfor Finals.

The unusually mild weather of the past weeks has permitted work on the new gym to continue uninterrupted and already the gaunt outlines of the steel frame—work is beginning to loom up against the horizon. Three weeks ago the foundation of the building was turned over to the steel workers who immediately began the erection of the frame-work and by tomorrow the main skeleton of the building will be completed. The support for the running track and also some roof braces cannot be placed until the walls have been raised higher, but this part of the work will occupy but a short time after the brick—layers have finished their work. Since the steel frame-work has been in progress the brickwork has been delayed, only half the force working. However tomorrow the force will be more than doubled and the walls will mount rapidly while at the same time the carpenters expect to begin the fill- ing of their contract. With the in- creased force of carpenters and bricks layers, the plumbers and electricians will be taxed to keep pace with the work. The underground plumbing is practically done now and the overhead piping will be put in as the other work advances. But the walls are further advanced. All preparations are being made so that this work may go forward as early as possible. The contractor who has in charge the laying of the basement fioors will arrive and begin this week. As soon the concrete floors have set the bath fixtures and lockers will be placed and the heating plant will be installed. Work on the pool will also be begun this week and with an adequate force /ne tiling should be in place within a ’short time. By July 1st. the gymnasium will be remainder of |\f\he time will be spent in adding the finishing touches. The contract for lthe grading of the grounds has been iletz but the grading and sodding must lbe deferred until after July 1. Every leifort is being made to facilitate the jwork and it seems very likely that the ‘gym will be ready for use at the open- : ing of college in September. i ‘well under roof and the { "RED” TO LEAVE SOON i Washington and Lee will lose a lfamiliar figure this week. “Red" V and a necessary ',asset of any W. & L. 0., iwhere he will catch this season for isional baseball team. “Red” is one of the stars in his league and will re- 1915 football season when he will return to Lexington to get the Gener- lGilliam, the“rubber" athletic team, lwill leave this week for Dayton, ithe Marco's —-the fast colored profes- main there until the opening of the ‘als in trim for the hard season.

The‘ league was organized in 1911 with R. G. Thatch as its president and E. P. Davis as treasurer. The cup was won in that year by the Sigma Chis; in 1912, by the Kappa Sigmas; in 1913, by the Sigma Alpha Epsilons ; and now rests with the Alpha Tau Omegas. Sigma Chi vs Phi Gamma Delta After overcoming an eight run lead in the sixth inning, the Phi Gamma Deltas were forced to defeat by the Sigma Chis yesterday afternoon in the opening clash of the fraternity league season by a score of 14 to 11. The Sigma Chis out hit their opponents and their errors were not so plentiful though abunch in the sixth came near IERNITY LEAGUE OPENED YESTESDAYf being their downfall. Profiting by their opponents bungles; the Sigma Chis had by the sixth frame, gradually gained the better end of a 9 to 2 score. At this juncture with two men on bases Riley yielded two free passes to first in the benefit of the Phi Gam batters, and donated his oppo—’ nents their third run. A lone singlet and several erorrs on the part of the Sigma Chis soon finished the act andi the inning ended with the Phi Gams in the lead by one tally. The Phi Gamma Deltas were, how—f ever, unable to maintain their advan-f rage, anti allowed their enemies to tie} the score. Four singles and two errors netted the Sigma Chis four mo're runs; in the ninth frame. The Phi Gains; were able to gain one more run, but the inning closed with their defeat. Stars were not plentiful as the only way to determine who starred is by finding out who made the least num- ber of errors. P.Riiey of the Sigma Chis, however, should have the honors. He made only one error, and out of five at bat hit for two gle. The score by innings is as R. H. E. 203 004 104--14 14 9 010 108 001- -11 5 16 P. Riley, Lampton and Sigma Chi Phi G. D. Batteries: J.

The program for the evening was keen, the debate being the chief feat- ure. As a great deal of competition exists between the two societies, the outcome of the argument was awaited with interest. Formerly there was alivays a great deal of argument and discussion over the decision of the judges in the j0int—sessioiis, and to abolish this unnecessary evil, three members of the faculty were asked to serve in that capacity on this occa- sion. The meeting was called to order by the President. W. M. Brown, the election of officers for next year being held directly afterwards. M. L. Ma- sinter will direct the destinies of the two societies in joint~session next year, assisted by R. N. Latture and N. M. Bell as Vice—President and Secretary-Treasurer respectively. The program was opened by an ora- tion by E. S. Smith of the Washing- ton, who had for his subject, “The Vastness of Empire.” E. L. Junkin, of the Graham—Lee, followed him, taking as the subject of his oration, “Progress.” The Washington was next represented by S. L. Robertson, who declaimed Daniel Webster’s, “Defense in a Murder Case.” The question of discussion for the evening was, Resolved, “That the United States Should Resist By Force, if Necessary, Any Interference in the Internal Affairs of Any Latin—Ameri- can Country by Any Foreign Power.” The Grahani—Lee, represented by R. N. Latture and .l. C. Fisher, upheld the affirmative side of the question, while the Washington, represented by M. L. Mzisinter and R. G. Hund ley, defended the negative with the usual argument of which they are capable of putting forth. Both sides represented their societies with abili- ty, all of them referring more or less to history in their argument. The judges rendered a two to one decision in favor of the negative, and for the third time during this session the Washington showed its superiority over the Graham—Lee in debating. Those who acted in the capacity of judges were Dr. Schermerhorn, Dr. Shannon. and Dr. Farrar, to whom the two societies extended a vote of thanks for their service.

Smith Chosen as Alternate-—l State Contest in Salem Tuesday The preliminary, held on last Tues- day night in the Washington Literary Society Hall for the purpose of select- ing Washington and Lee’s representa- tive to the State Oratorical Contest, resulted in the selection of J. C. Rivers to that position with E. S. Smith as alternate. This contest will be held at Roanoke College, Salem, Va., on May 7. The judges at the preliminary were Dr. Schermerhorn, Dr. Riley and Professor Long. M. M. Keaton, the only other competitor, made a very recommendable speech also. J. C. Rivers, who will journey to Salem on Thursday to contest his wits with the representatives of the other universities and colleges of Virginia, is a fluent and self-possessing speaker, having an excellent delivery and a voice which enunciates clearly his words when speaking. He is a mem- ber of the Junior class and the Wash- ington Literary Society. At the cele- bration of the latter organization in 1914, he won the orator’s medal, and the debater’s medal at the same cele- bration in Februay past. In 1912 he won the orrator’s medal at the inter- scholastic contest of Mississippi. E. S. Smith, the alternate, is a member of the Sophomore class and the Washington Literary Society. He is also a speaker of some ability, but does not possess the delivery of his colleague. Immediately after the contest, a meeting of the various representatives will be held, to decide whether only undergraduate students will be eligi- ble to participate in fiiture contests.

Ted Shultz will cavort in the 220 yard low hurdles. Eric Hallman has been entered in the pole vault event, while Witt Fox, who recently smashed the 2 mile record for Washington andl Lee. will compete in this event. l “Buck” Miles has been entered to‘ hurl the discus and is expected to make a strong showing Manager N.
