N. .1.. Fob. 21. "The Trick sift of SIM.OOO.OOO hns ramie it possible to increase professors' salaries 23 per cent " TMi nnuouuecment was made to TMncctoii nlumni today by Dr. John Jrice Hibben, president of Princeton University, at the aunual luncheon, which began at 1 o'clock this after noon. Doctor Hibben spoke in optimistic terms of Princeton's future. "This is the first time in the efaht years of my administration," he said, "that I have addressed jour alumni Tfith no fear for Princeton's future." "I can now begiu to indulge m dream of Princeton's development, u dream of Princeton nqt merely as a bit: university, but as a great one. as more nnd more a factor in the national life of our country, as a university that wi'li be to America what Oxford and Cambridge nnd the I'niversity of Pari are to their countries," said Doctor Hibben. Princeton Must Lead Nation "Princeton must meet the intellec tual, scientific and moral needs of the coming years in this country and in the vorld-at-larj:e, for Europe is look ing to us for leadership. I crave that Princeton may give that leadership to the nation and the world now as it gave leaders to our country's cause at the tjme we gained our iudeoendence. President Hibben pointed out that twenty-two new courses had already been introduced into the university to meet the needs of this post-war period of development. He explained that Henry Frick's gift came at the psychological moment to show the world that this great man had a groat faith in the present and future of Princeton and that he was greatly encouraged by the progress of the university endowment fund. He also Dointed out the growth in attendance, which is 17 per cent higher than before the war. "You have returned to us, thank God, with life sti'l a precious posses sion and the glorious promise of your tested years of mind and soirit awaiting still richer development in the time to come'.r, Tho.se words were addressed to eigh-ty-six, jPrinceton ."-war -graduates," by Doctor' Hibbeu. here this morning, as he tjresen'edr'them with dinlomas. de layed by the exigencies of the g-ent war. A distinctive military atmosphere rervaded the ceremony, which was one which. Doctor Hibben said, nrobab'v "would never be repeated in historv." It wasthp first time in the recollection of alumni that graduation exerciser wer'ef ever held at any other time than the spring of the year. Among the eighty-six who received diplomas were men who hud won the liightst honors awarded by United States or its allies for valor iu service. Most of the men were officers and sev eraKof them were numbered among the acesjof the American Flying Corps. -r- Gowns Not Worn by Class The ceremony was informal and at tended by u new dignity, in the absence of the customary gowns of a senior class. The spirit of the occasion was unique in the annals of Old Nassau. Their valedictorian did away with the customary flourishes of the occasion in a short, manly talk, and thanked the university for the opportunity given his Classmates to return for their dinlomas. It was especially fitting that the ex ercises were held in Nassau Hall, the historic old meeting place of the Conti nental Congress, now called the faeultv room, with all its associations of the Revolutionary War. Memories of Wash ington. Lafayette. "Light Horse Harry I.ee. Alexander Hamilton and General Wintield Scott, filled the sur roundings .Alexander M.

Co-operated, He fays SEES ANOTHER GREAT WAR 1-notion between the urn- and the uaw during the g-cut war was denied bv Hear Admiral William S, Sims to day before he left Phitadrfnhia for Newport to return to his duties as president of the Naval War College. Admiral Sims departed immediately aftei the Universitv Diy exercises of the Lniversity of Pennsylvania at the Academy of Music this morning, ut which he received the degrco of doctor of laws. "Throughout the war," said Admiral Sims, "the navy served as part of the army an unusual thing iu a great war. And there was harmonious co-operation from beginning to end. Usually one branch of the service gets to blam- illlT the Other ill tho rmircn tf wn. But there was nothing of that sort while me l nueu states navy was serving the army. It was the. most complete co-ordination I ever heard of." Letters Show Harmony The admiral said that he had sent to Senator Hale, of the Senate naval committee, several letters written to him in the spring of 1010 by General Pershiug and others, showing that there was harmony and understanding be tween the army and navy, despite the reports that Admiral Sims had charged that the service of supplies had broken down under war pressure. When asked about the future of League Island. Admiral Kims .-ij ), his duties iu the navy did not keep him in touch with the details of the work at ine navy yard or the appropriations needed. As to Hog Island, he said : "It would be impossible for the navy to use so great a plant. The navy already has ampie yicunies for doing its work." Favors League of Nations Admiral Sims expressed himself as in favor of universal militnry training ami ui u league oi nations. He said that he would not express an opinion coucerning the conditions of the proposed League of Nations now uuncr consideration In the Senate, then added : "If the world had established some sort of a league of nations ten or fifteen years ago, we might have escaped the great war. Men who make a business of studying war knew thnt a great con flict was approaching, and if the na tions had been in a position to meet and discuss conditions from time to time, it 'might have been possible to have nrevented the disastrous contest,"' While believing that u league' or na tions would do much to prevent future wars. Admiral Sims thought that this rountry should take steps so as to be prepared if forced unexpectedly into another war. Foresees Another War When Admiral Sims was asked about the predictions thut have been made since the signing of the armistice that another great war would come, he said : "I, too, believe that there will be another war, and do not wish to see this country unprepared, as it was when the struggle in Europe began. It -as more than a year after we ac :lly entered the war before we were n a position to strike or to use any con siderable part of the nation's strength." "When will the new war come?" he was asked.

Attempted Robbery and HoldrUps The attempted robbery of another apartment house last night and two holcf-ups have .resulted in redpubled efforts by the police to round up bandits who have been operating in various sec- jons ot tne city.

Schuylkill county political leader, todnv n'skfd;for the settimj nside bf the "snltt verdict" on which he was convicted Inst -month nnd requested that Leib be discharged. ,The request was made to Judge Al bert V.

Carr, of "counsel for the petitioner, quoted ar dozen coses, the c earliest dutlng back to 1803 in Eng- I land in support of his pica that tho verdict be dismissed. Mr. Carr argued that all the evi dence concerned with the alleged utter ance of forgeries must bo disregarded because the jury held his client guilt less 'on' that charge. He contended the other evidence was too weak to link Leib with forgery committed in this county. Mr. Carr, in an address lasting one hour, dwelt at length on the. testimony of Webster I- Sfclchcr, u handwriting expert. The witness, he said, had de clared the writing On alleged forged tax receipts to be bimilar to thatin u check admittedly drawn by 'Leib. The expert, Mr. Carr continued, ad mitted he had reached his rnni-liisionR by "short cuts" because he was com pelled to examine four sets of papers in twenty-four hours, where, ordinarily, it requires a day to examine one set of papers. John F. Whnlen, of Pottsville, also argued for the dismissal of Leib. John Maurcr, assistant district at torney, nnd William I. Swope, deputy attorney general, took the position that the Commonwealth, in trying the cusc in Philadelphia county, had not enrcd. They snid the alleged forgery had been committed within the jurisdiction of the court. Judge Johnson heard nil the argu ment, and then announcing that he would review the testimony in the, case, said he would render u written opinion, Leib was accused of forging signa tures of state employes on receipts for taxes paid by the Merchant & Kvacs Co., Twenty-first street and Washing ton avenue, entrusted to him ns agent. IJc was found guilty 'of forging the names, but on the count alleging de livery of the receipts to James Evans, of the Merchant & Kvans concern, was acquitted.

Surprise wnsexpressed, by Repre sentative George P. Darrow at Wash ington today when he was informed of reports that he would "throw" his sup port to Mayor Moore in the city elec tions. "I have always been for him," he said. "There has been no change in my position. T voted for Mr. Moore in the primaries and voted for him in the general election. I wore his campaign button, told my friends I 'Svas for him, and I am for him now. I am for the "resent administration. I want to sec Mayor Moore succeed. Every good Philadelphian ought to feel the tame way. "It is surprising' that any other re port of my attitude should become cut rent. I supposed every one knew where I stood." Representative Costello wns less defi nite in Btating his preference for Mayor Moore and the present administration. "I saw Mnyor Moore in Philad Iphia yesterday, but our conference had no political significance," he said. "Like all good citizens of Philadelphia, I should like to see his administration succeed. I have known Mayor Moore for years, nnd like him." Representative Edmonds is another member of the Philadelphia delegation who was personally friendly to Mayor Moore before the election and wishes the administration well. One member of the delegation in Washington summarized the' attitude of the Philadelphia's us follows: "None of us was against 'Hampy.' We were personally for him, although we didn't go up and campaign for him. We had been ussoeiated for years and it would ,be impossible to conceive that v,e would oppose him. Vare understood that perfectly. He knew where we stood. Of course we were for 'Hnmpy.' " Administration leaders will be can,.. prised if Councilman Isaac D.

Recondition ing of the thirty former German liners and their operation by the goVernmcnt in regular routes to South America,' Europe and the Orient was urged today by Chairman Jones, of the commerco committee, in reporting to the Senate a bill, approved by the committee, nro- hibiting the s'ale of the craft until Con grcss' had adopted permanent shipping legislation. "These- ships," the committee report said, "aro urgently needed in our for eign business. If the government con tinues to own these ahips the 6crvicc desired can and will be maintained. T(iis assurance will develop business and business agencies nnd doubtless soon put the service upon a paying basis and tho ships can tlieu very likely be disposed of for all they cost, if not more, under such restrictions and upon such terms as will not only insure the maintenance of the service, but their continuance under our flag." Senator Jones said he had intended to ask for consideration of the bill to day, but would withhold the request until next week, to let senators study the proposed international ugrcemont regarding German shipping, scut to tho Senate jesterday by President Wilson. Senator Brandegee; Republican, of,. Connecticut, in response to whose reso- 'ution the tentative agreement was .sent in by the President, declared it bore out the information on which be had acted in asking the Senate to g;t. De spite Mr. Wilson's denial that no agree-, inent existed for disposition " ot tnu c ship, Senator Brandegeo said the ten tative agreement submitted directly af fected the question before the Senate.
