Warren I Sheldon, president of | the Wesleyan Alumni association, spoke to the debating club on enter- | ing the Wesleyan Interscholastic D bating league. A triangular league favored to a quadrangular league. It| is thought that teams from the Mid- dletown, Meriden and New Britain High schools would form a very strong league, but a league camposed of Hartford, Waterbury and New Britain would make a stronger com- bination, as the rivalry is closer. The | club will decide in a few days which league they would prefer to join. Next week the resolution which| will come before the debating club | will be that a high protective tariff is more beneficial to the country than a low revenue. The affirmative' side of the question will be upheld by Iver Axelson and David Nair and Edward Ginsburg and Edward Mag will speak for the negative.

Nor are these neceded, for in these days of tribulation which | had come for our fatherland I am often aware, with the greatest satis- faction, of the strong bond of love and confidence which unites me with the German people. I thank in ad- vance each person whose loyal sup- plication will, on my birthday, he made to the throne of the Highest as well as every one who will think of me in a friendly spirit. T am one with the whole German people and their princes.
