They have been divided into squads, and will report in shifts every day until March 1, when a cut will be made. Although crew men were asked to report today only a few of the ’Var- sity men have so far come out.

Consequently, it is admitted that should the allies decline to adopt the American suggestion to disarm mer- chantmen, founded primarily upon a desire to save the lives of innocent non-combatants, this government can- not announce its approval of the in- tentions of the Teutonic powers to torpedo without warning after Fei ruary 29, all armed vessels although various high officials are convinced | that the position of Germany and Aus- tria is justified. engaged what will happen when the com- manders of German and Austrian submarines begin to put their new in- structions into effect. It is sald, too, that the United States in the near future may make some inquiries as to how the central powers intend to | determine whether merchantmen en- countered by their submarines are armed. No Attack Without Warning. In response to inquiries regarding this aspect it was id last night by high Teutonic authority that the German and Austrian governmen would be under no consideration di: regard the assurances which have been given to the United States, in regard to the conduct/ of submari warfare Attention was called part cularly to the fact that the German government had assured the TUnited States that liners would not be at- tacked without being warned. These it was said, had not been and would not be repudiated and for that reason, liners in service between the United States and western Eu- rope would not be attacked without warning, even if they have defensive armament aboard. Teutonic officials were inclined ‘o believe that such an issue would not arise as Great Britain has agreed that its ships entering American wat shall not be armed. TIn both diplo- matic and official circles doubt even was expressed that the new policy would in the slightest way affect con- ditions in the Atlantic, although it was admitted that should the Ttalian government persist in arming its mer- chantmen difficulty might arise in the Mediterranean. State department officials recognize that the action of the German and is a develop- ment of the recent American sug- gestions. The department, however, does not regard to the broad questions involved at least until it has received replies to its own memorandum to the entente allies regarding the dis arming of merchantmen. No Intention to Change Law. The state department repeatedly has allowed it to become known, as it- did again yesterday that it had no intention of changing the law on the subject of arming merchant ships on its own account, and that such a move could be made only with the consent of all the powers affected. But the United States in considera- tion of the changed conditions of naval warfare, can amend its instruc- tions so as to permit merchant shi to clear with guns of a caliber use- ful solely for defensive purposes and yet not large enough to be effective against submarines at a distance from which warning safety could be given. Under the existing regulations me chant ships may carry guns mountcd on the stern of a caliber up to 6 in- ches, it was suggested that the rules might be attended as to reduce the caliber limit to, for instance, 2 inches. The entire matter, as the state de- partment now views it, turns about the question of what constitutes de- fensive armament. Consider CasCs Separately. Officials indicated that they would consider separately the case of each armed ship coming into American waters and that the action taken would depend upon the facts. The same course, it was said, will be pur- sued in the case of ships that are attacked or engaged under the new German instructions. Spirited debate is expected in the senate Friday on a resolution intro- duced today by Senator Sterling ot South Dakota which would put the senate on record, as viewing with “anxious concern” the recent order of the German admiralty that aft Tebruary 29, armed merchant ships of the allies, whether armed merely for defensive purposes or not, may be sunk without warning.

Rumored That Charles W. Murphy May Be a Sharcholder. Chicago, Feb. 16.—The sale of the Cleveland American League Club to new owners has been practically com- pleted, according to a statement made last night by President B. B. John- son of the league who declined to con- firm or deny various rumors that Charles W. Murphy, former Club own- er, was to be one of the stockholders, or that Chicago capital was interested. Sanction of the sale will be asked by Mr. Johnson at the American League meeting in New York this week and the formal announcement probably will be made in Cleveland. The change in ownership is likely to involve no change in the manage- ment, according to Mr, Johnson.

R. Meek. The Banke Trust company of New York is the plaintiff in the suit, alleging the rail- road had defaulted since 1910 in pay ment of interest on $25,000,000 secord mortage bonds issued in 1888. The petition, claims the federal sdiction to try the case. This js nth Texas railroad for which ceivers have been asked. Intervening Petition. An intervening petition filed by the directors and stockholders of the | road alleges that the “‘whole receiver- | ship proceeding was brought at ths instigation of the Missouri Pacifie company for the purpose of acquir- ing control of the Texas and Pacific,” and that acquisition by the Missouri Pacific of the property of the Texas and Pacific would constitute a com- bination in restraint of trade, as the ads are “so situated as to he nat- irally competitive.” Filed Dec. 27, 191 The application for a receivership for the Texas and Pacific railway was filed by the Bankers Trust company of New York, Dec. 27, 1915, alles ing default since 1907 on interest on the $25,000,000 second mortgage. The petition charges that the net income has been diverted to other purposes, | and asks that the road be restrained from applying to any other purpose the net income applicable to these bonds. On Dec. at Monroe, La., B. T. 3ush for the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain lines fleld suit against the Texas & Pacific to enforce pa. ment of $842,000 in promissory notes. Factor in Race. The Texas & Pacific railway was a factor in the race between Jay Gould and Collis P. Huntington for the first ailroad in its answer the court to the denying allegations, is without southern transcontinental route to the Pacific, which Huntington won. It figured also in a race between Chi- cago, St. Louis and New Orleans for mmercial supremacy in the south- west. Its authorized capital stocks is $50,000,000, of which only $38,764,- 000 has been issued. The line never has paid a stock dividend. It was rtered in 1871, and reorganized receivership in 18 to 1858, led two sets of bonds, one five per cent. first mortgage of 5,000,000, and the other $25,000.- 000 in second mortgage income bonds. Upon the second of these bond is- sues the present receivership appli- cation was based. The receivership of the 80s was the only one in the road’s history. Its present main lines extend from New Orleans to near El Paso, making a great arc across north Louisiana and mnorth Texas, with a short mileage also in Arkarn- sas. Its total main line mileage iz 1952 The original purpose was a line the southwest to the Pacific n Diego, California, the road re- ceiving a federal charter for this ob- ject, under the name Texas Pacific Railroad company. The following year the name was changed to The Texas & Pacific Railway company. | Thomas Scott, and associates near- ly all of whom were in Philadelphia, were the original promoters. The new line acquired the rights of the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Rail- road company and of the Southern Transcontinental company, and 66 miles of track, from Shreveport, La., to Longview Tex: ixtension of this line westward began in 1872, with the expectation that it would bhe rapidly pushed to the coast, but work was halted by the panic of 1§ Scott and his associates sold their holdings to Jay Gould the elder and Russell Sage and associates in New York. The Gould interests have controlled the line ever since. Extension of Line Resumed. In 1875 extension of the line was resumed. On July 4, 1876 the Texas | & Pacific reached Fort Worth, Texa: he first railroad into that city. in 1880 there was a period of rapid extension westward over the great ter- ritory toward El Paso, but in 1881, at Sierra Blanca Texas, 90 miles east of El Paso, the Texas and Pacific met the eastbound transcontinental line of the Southern Pacific em, which has pushed across country from the Pacific, with the backing of Hunting- ton, Hopk Crocker and Stanford. The Texas and Pacific already had graded the 90 miles remaining to El Paso, but the Southern Pacific inter- ests had beaten them by simultane- ously grading and laying rai and had trains running to Sierra Blanca At this time, it fd, Mr. Huntington called on Jay Gould in New York, asked him whether he had seen the barrenness of that particu- lar 90-mile stretch, and inquired | whether he did not think that one line of rails would carry all the traffic available for some years. A joint traffic arrangement was made for the Texas & Pacific to use the Southern Pacific tracks into El Paso. This arrangement still exists. The Texas & Pacific had a federal charter all the way to the Pacific, but the Southern Pacific, operating under state char- ters as it advanced, had occupied the territory first. About 1880 the Texas & Pacific ac- quired the New Orleans Pacific Rail- { when it i charter had some 65 miles of rails laid westward from New Orleans to Donelsonville. This line was extend- ed to Shreveport in 1862, practically completing the Texas & Pacific main lines. The original stock of the Texas & Pacific has remained intact as {issued. During the receivership of 1885 stockholders paid a 10 per cent. assessment to make their stock good. CHIANGES IN CIVIL SERVICE.

Copies of the rules may be obtained at the office of the commission, at the state capitol or will be mailed on request. The commission’s second annual report is also ready for distribution. 'KITCHENER SURE OF VICTORY FOR ALLIES British Secretary for War Re- views Operations of Conilict London, Feb. 16—FEarl Kitchener, secretary for war, in the House of Lords, yesterday, reviewed recent British operations in the various theaters of the war. “In France,” said Earl Kitchener, “although the In- dians have been withdrawn, our forces have been materially increased—by no less than eight divisions of the new army. In Egypt adequate pre- parations have been made against a threatened invasion. In Mesopotas mia, Major Genera]l Sir Fenton Ayl- mer is awaiting further reinforce- ments before renewing his forward movement for a juncture with Gen- eral Townsend. Touching on the workings of the new system of army enlistments, Earl Kitchener said the government was beginning to realize how seriously the numbers of men immediately ob- tainable are affected by exemptions. Time Will Show. “Time alone will show what the result will be,” said the war secre- tary, “but I trust on a future occa- sion to be in a position to reassire the House as to the chance of secur- ing the numbers required.” Continuing his review of the op- erations Barl Kitchener said:i— “The allied offensive at Loos, in the Champagne and about Arras in- flicted very heavy losses on the Ger- mans and resulted in the capture of important positions by the allied troops. German counter attacks fail- ed to recover the ground which the enemy had been compelled to yield. Russians Gain Successes. “Owing to the continuous offensive action on the western front consider- able German forces were withdrawn from the Russian frontier, enablinz Russia to obtain certain successes and to hold the enemy well in checl. In France and Flanders, since the capture of Loos and the forward movement in Champagne, the allied lines have remained practically un- changed. Through the winter the morale of the French army has been maintained at the same high level, and their fighting qualities have nev- er been greater or more highly de- veloped than at present. Our troops throughout the winter have been con- stantly carrying on active operations, which have given no rest or respite to the enemy. “The activities of the Italian army were conspicuous of the Italian army vember during their advance on the Isonso. Their efforts since then have not been relaxed, although the po tions occupied by the enemy are sn strong as to bar for the present the development of a forward movement, which the splendid courage of the Italian troops is sure eventually to push home. Notwithstanding the heavy blows and the consequent losses sustained by Russia in the summer of 1915, her army has been thoroughly re-organ- ized and re-equipped and her arma- ments increased. “The Turkish army by German supplies, was able to or- ganize a movement of troops either against Egpyt or to strengthen their forces in Mesopotamia, and at the same time to bring more powerful ar- tillery to hear against our positions on the Gallipoli peninsula. It was, therefore, decided to withdraw from the peninsula to reinforce our troops at Saloniki and in Bgypt. “During last winter an abortive at- tempt on the Suez canal pushed aside by the small Britis force operating in that neighborhood but a more serious attempt has heen threatened, adequate prepara- tions have been made to defend the canal. reinforced T d Tribes. “The Turko-German influence with the religious chief of the Senusci tribesmen on the western flank in Egypt succeeded in inducing the tribes of Cyrenaica and Tripoli to a hostile attitude towards us. attempts resulted in com cutons Induc sume a Their fi this movement still causes a certain | amount of unrest, the admirable loy- alty of the people of Egypt forms an offective barrier to any penetration by these raiders into the cultivated “In East Africa several small en- zagements have enabled us to ext tend our positions.
