VICTORY ONLY THOUGHT
OF FKENCH, YOUTH SAYS
Samuel H. Paul, Back From
Front, Tells of Heroism of
Soldiers
The thrill of braving the Are of the
world's greatest death-dealing devices has
been experienced by Samuel H. Paul, of
Philadelphia, who has just returned after
having six months' experience in the field
ambulance service in France.
Paul, who is twenty years old. Is the
son of Henry M. Paul, an attorney of the
Land Title Building. He went to France
last February and In ft very short time was
right In the heart of the fiercest lighting.
He was assigned to Section I of the am
bulance service, and serving with him were
two other Phlladelphlans, Brooke Edwards
and W. Yorke Stevenson.
This trio of local youths were frequently
the target of enemy guns while carrying
wounded from the field. Paul spoke warm
ly of the French soldiers. As an Illustra
tion of the loyalty to France, many, he
said, returned to the front after be'ng
wounded eight or ten times. "Every man
In France," said Paul, "Is filled with en
thusiasm and sees nothing but victory.
The men In the trenches hear nothing about
peace talk. They never talk of 1t them
selves, In speaking of the future they
always refer to it as after the war Is over
"The hearty goodfellowshlp between of
ficers and men Is really a good asset for
the country The men go Into battle with
the Idea of gaining twtry opportunity There
is no regret when they are carried to the
hospital maimed for life. In fact they are
proud of their wounds
"It is the general belief of the men that
Ike war will continue for at least another
yar
Paul was on the Somme for four months
and was then transferred to the Verdun
region, at Souvllle Hill. The fighting Is
ao intense at Verdun, he aatd, that a regi
ment is seldom permitted to remain there
more than three weeks,
Paul returned to this country a few days

MRS. DELZBR TIRED SHOTS
IN TRAGEDY, COPS SAY
ContlnoM frm rare One
register as Graveur's wife, Le Duo today
reaffirmed his faith In his wife.
"I feel convinced my wife's story Is true
and that she was Innocently brought Into
this, trouble," he declared
Le Due plainly showed the effects of the
nervous strain under which he Is laboring
Under each eye retted a dark semicircle
and his face was haggard.
Le Duo made a ten-minute visit to his
wife at the Jefferson Hospital this morn
ing and found her Improved He spent the
night with friends.
MESSAOE8 OF CONFIDENCE
Le Due was cheered today by the re
ceipt of many telegrams and letters con
gratulating him on the stand he has taken
The first telegram to arrive was from
"Chick" Evans, national amateur golf
champion Le Duo himself is n golfer of
note.
The other messages came from neighbors,
friends and strangers In various parti of
the country Soma were from married men
and women The messages expressed ad
miration for his absolute faith In his wife
In the face of what some of the Investi
gators of the shooting consider overwhelm
ing evidence to the conlrnry
The Information that Mrs Uelzcr was
clutching the revolver when the bodies were
found was furnished Coroner's Detective
Taut today by Detect ve Harbldge, the first
detective to reach the room, and George
Hartranft. watchman at the hotel, who was
among the first to enter the chamber Both
agreed that the dead woman had the 'revolver.
JEWELRY IDENTIFIED
Three representatives of a New York
surety company that Insured jewelry be
longing to Mrs. , Francis Apman, sister of
the dead man. today Identified some of the
Jewelry found in Graveur's black traveling
bag as having been stolen from Mrs. Ap
man In New York.
This came as n sequel to Mrs. Apman's
enigmatic statement In this city Wednes
day that several months ago $10,000 worth
of goms had been taken from her In a mys
terious manner and that her brother's death
assured her of Its recovery. About JJ00O
worth of Jewelry was found In Graveur's
bag by detectives who believe from the
Identification and Mrs. Apman's statement
that Graveur took the gems from his sister.
POLICE RESENT CRITICISM
Criticism of the police because the effects
In the room whire the shooting took place
were Jumbled In a pile nnd Important evi
dence thereby deetroyod was unjustified,
detectives said today. When they arrived
on the scene of tho early morning tragedy,
they said, the effects of the principals in
the shooting already had been heaped to
gether. In their opinion. It was thg work
of hotel attendants, who wished to restore
the room to order.
According to Mrs Lo Due, tho 1aer had
rummaged through Graveur's traveling bag
and her handbag. Belief thataluable evi
dence was lost when the mass of wearing
apparel and other effects vvcro thrown In
a heap caused the Coroner to Issue orders
to the police that In future apartment mur
ders the doorB should be locked until the
arrival of his detectives
The Coroner has accepted Mrs Le Duo's
offer to stay. The police had already given
her husband permission to take her home
without waiting for the Inquea:.
Just when the Inquest will be held will
depend upon how rapidly her condition Im
proves. Despite the fact she Is getting
along well. Le Due Is extremely nerv
ous. He called up the hospital a half dozen
times last night to make inquiries.
Mrs, Le Due's statement to her husband
that she was shot by another woman when
she went to Graveur's room from the Wal
ton roof to get her bag Is accepted by the
police.
They first thought she was the woman
who registered with Graveur. The hotel
clerks, who thought so, too, have become
doubtful now.
LE DUC NEVER DOUBTED WIFE
Le Due never doubted his wife for an
instant. From the Breakers, in Atlantic
City, where Graveur and a woman stopped
two days before h "came to Philadelphia,
It was said that his companion was a
blonde. Mrs. Xe Duo is blonde and hand
some. Mrs Belzer was a pronounced
brunette.
Miss Anna McAndrews, sister of Mrs.
Belzer, said Jt was ridiculous to suppose
that Mrs. Belser registered with Graveur.
She said Graveur had thrown over her
sister and that his whereabouts was only
learned through his garage employes and
that Mrs Belzer followed him here and did
not arrive with him.

U. OF P. SCHOLARSHIP
HOLDERS MUST STUDY
Provost Says Free Tuition Has
Been Abused 3000 at Open
ing of 176th Year
"The forfeiture of his free scholarship
by any student who gets one condition In
any study nt any time during his four
years' work at the University will be one
of the recommendations I shall make at the
meeting of the board of trustees next Mon
day," was one of the radical announce
ments made by Provost Smith at the for
mal opening exercises of the one hundred
and seventy-sixth academic year of the
University .of Pennsylvania In Welghtman
Hall this morning.
Doctor Smith said the scholarship priv
ileges has been greatly abused In the past,
and that many students have loafed through
their courses. LaBt year, ho said, one-third
of the scholarship holders In the college
carried conditions, and one-half in the
Wharton School. The new rcguatlon de
sired by the provost will make It so that
none but students with a clear record In
all studies can hold their scholarships.
Doctor Smith also spoke of the new
ruling passed at the last meeting of the
board of trustees to the efTect that no
freshman can be admitted to the Unlver
sltjanvho has one entrance condition. Here
tofore students were allowed tq enter and
pass their conditions after a year's work.
The 3000 students who crowded Into the
gymnasium for the opening exercises were
greeted by short addresses from the deans
of all the departments of the University
at the close of Doctor Smith's address.
Announcements of additions to the faculty
of the Wharton School of Commerce and
Finance were also made, as follows: E R.
Wilson, M. T. Carey, W. C. Schans. C. P.
Coughlln; department of economics, Samuel
Tatar, W. H. Reeves; Industry, Hugh Dent
worth, Harry B. Caney, Clifford E. Grangen.,
William D. Gordon: political science, Earle
Hepburn, It. D. Hughes. L. B. Schofleld;
banking and finance, William H. Dallas, P.
M. Mitchell, Foster Doty; insurance, C. K.
Knight.
Hazing of the mildest sort Initiated the
freshmen into college life last night. The
death last fall of Albert Lifson In the an
nual bowl fight at Penn caused every class
In the University to go on record as opposed
to all fights and hazing. So the freshmen
who entered the chapel at 10 o'clock this
morning had been only formally disciplined.
Last night the junior and senior leaders
marshaled the freshmen early nnd marched
them to Franklin Field. After lining them
up under the statue, they taught them to
sing "Alma Mater" and the "Bed and Blue."
The sophomores defeated the freshmen
In wrestling matches and In a tug-of-war that
followed. Tonight the freshmen will be
guests at a reception The hazing will offi
cially end then, after the upper class men
have lectured the first-year students on the
proper respect for their "superiors."
The real opening of university life takes
place tonight, at the annual freshmen re
ception In the gymnasium, -where speeches
will be made by the presidents of the three
upper classes, outlining to the newcomers
the traditions of the University and the
sacred customs binding the actions of the
first-year men. Tnlks by Coach Folwell
and Captain Mathews, of the football team,
will urge the actlvo participation of every
man In the athletic life of the University.
Special efforts will be made to arouse a
stronger college spirit ' than has been
manifested heretofore.

TO SHIELD FATIERLAND
FROM ATTACK FOREVER,
GERMANS' AIM--H0LLWEG
Chancellor Discusses Ponce
Overtures at Reopening of
Reichstag Defense of
Rights and Liberties
RUMANIANS MERCENARY.
BERLIN, Sept 29. But a small portion
of the Chancellor's speech In the Reichstag
yesterday wis permitted to be cabled
abroad. Other portions are available this
afternoon Referring to pence overtures,
the Chancellor said:
"From the very beginning this war has
been for Germany nothing but the defense
of our rights of life and liberty. Therefore,
Germany, first of all the belligerents, de
clared her readiness for negotiations on
December 9, 1916, and later on several oc
casions. DISPUTES BR1AND.
"We did our duty, nor does anybody dare
ask that we make proposnls today when
our enemies, as Mr, Brland did a short
while ago, said that peace now would be
considered a humiliation and the thought
of peace a. provocation and disgrace to the
memory of the dead. Our enemies continue
the war because they hope to reach their
Utopian alms.
"The French Premier said In one of his
latest speeches that France fights for a
firm and lasting peace In which the free
dom of nationalities is protected against
all attacks by International agreement.
This we want, too, to protect Germany
forever against every attack. But docs
Mr. Brland, who united our enemies before
the war Into an alliance of French thirst
for revenge, Russian lust of conquest and
English policy of Isolating Germany ifoes
Mr Brland believe that this prepares the
soil from which could grow International
agreements, granting to nations liberty,
honor, dignity nnd peaceful collaboration
for the sake of humanity and progress? Or
does Mr. Brland really believe that he can
obtain this lofty Ideal In time by a war of
annihilation In which France's last youth
dies on the devastated battlefields of Ver
dun nnd tho Somme?"
RUMANIA'S HOSTILITY
In regard to Rumania entering the war,
the Chancellor said:
"Rumania, guided by Premier Bratlano,
souKht the easiest way to obtain riches
vlthout great sacrifices. During tho first
year of the war, probably after the fall of
Lemberg, Bratlano secretly concluded a
treaty of neutrality with Russia, leaving
his sovereign in ignorance. After Przemysl
fell he had about decided to enter the war,
but Russia wanted to Increase her own
territory by the acquisition of Bukowlna,
while Rumania wanted Bukowlna and the
whole Hungarian territory aa far as the
River Thelss.
"Rumania continued to favor the Allies,
despite the temporary failure of these
negotiations and actually withheld from
Germany grain purchased by the Germans
until energetic pressure was used. When
Mnckensen broke through tho Russian line
nt Gorllce, Bratlano again hesitated, feeling
that perhaps he had staked on the wrong
horse, and negotiations for Rumania's en
trance Into the war almost ceased.
"ROBBER OF DEAD BODY"
"This spring the Russian War Office
made Bratlano believe that he saw the
downfall of the central pawers. He then
decided to get his share when the robbery
of the dead body began. The Entente
powers also had a more free hand In the
negotiations than others. Serbia was con
quered and the protectors of small and
feeble states were no longer forced to
show any consideration for Serbia's former
wishes for annexation and could be more
liberal toward Rumania.
"Bratlano decided the middle of August
to Join the Allies, but the Rumanian army
lacked preparation and had Inadequate
supplies of munitions Jn the fortresses 'of
Tutrakan and Sllfstra, which fell to tho
Teutons. Russia, however, sent an ulti
matum, declaring that If Rumania did not
declare war by August 28 a Russian army
would cross the Rumanian frontier."
The efforts of the Russians to break
through the Austro-German lines and the
efforts of the Allies to Interrupt German
communications with Turkey alike failed,
the Chancellor said. The allied army at
Salonlca has been able to make only feeble
advances, he said.
'The Germans, Bulgarians and Turks In
Dobrudja marched northward while our
enemies hoped that the Russians and Ru
manians would march southward," he
added. "On the Somme front Isolated en
emy successes do not change the general
situation. Otherwise we have made a suc
cessful defense against all hostile attacks."
OUTSIDE BASEBALL FANS

Phillies' Chances So Bright That Man-
agers Prepare for World Series
Baseball fans all over the United States
are writing and telegraphing to Philadel
phia hotels 'for reservations, following the
Jump the Phillies made yesterday to within

sons. The small hotels, as well as the big
ones, say they are ready to take care of
all the out-of-town sport lovers that may be
liere, and applications for rooms r.nd suites

Phillies and the Dodgers today will mora
definitely decide the league winners, and
btseball fans are taking no chances on miss
ing sleeping space during what is expected
