game Albion played all around Alma,
but in last Saturdays game there were
only two points when Albion was able
to make any kind of a showing-in the
very first and the very last Of the game.
Practically the same team lined up

game there was not tumble. Ander.

game and gained their distance many

and his work was surprise to all. He

gains, scoring Alma's first touchdown
from the 10 yard line, and tackling
Pfeifle behind the line just in time to
give Alma the ball for second touch.

Panic in the Steerage
OF Storm Tossed
BlQeCher.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Hamburg
American liner Bluecher docked to-day
after the most exciting voyage in the
history of ocean going steamships.
During midnight of the first day out
from Hamburg, while she was running
in a dense fog at only half speed, with
foghorns blowing, she was run into,
port side. by 150O-ton tramp steamer
and a big hole was stove in her bows.
The forward compartment was flooded
and the ship had to delay one day at
Cherbourg to have new plates fitted
The i'll luck did not end here, how
ever, for, after leaving Cherbourg, she
ran into stiff northwest gale and was
tossed and buffeted for the next five
days
On the night of December 19, when
the fury of the storm had reached its
climax and the Bluecher was rolling
and pitching, unable to make,any head
way against it, the officers and passen-
gers were startled to hear loud out
cries and groans coming from the for
ward part of the hold where most
OF the 14uU SISeIdSt pdSSSnSeIS were
duartered. So loud and tumultuous
became the noise that the purser and
the third officer rushed below to learn
its cause.
The scene that met their eyes was
appalling Men and women were fight
ing and struggling like mad to force
open the matches and get up on deck.
Shouts of Let us on deck The ship
is sinking" THE boats going down."
LET us up, will you?" greeted the Of
ficers.
When the fright-crazed people saw
that they would not be allowed on deck
they broke out once more in wild
shrieks. revilings. threatening to attack
the two men.
The officers had to draw their pistols
to keep the mob back and the moment
their backs were turned the panic
broke out afresh. So uproarious and
fierce did it grow that Captain Kopff
went below and finally, after much ex-
ertion, succeeded in calming the PAN
icky steerage passengers.

CREWS NOT

Dogs Used in Test Of
Method Of Escape
From Graft.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

NEWPORT. r. l.. Dec. 23.-An i'm
portant test was made with one of the
submarine torpedo boats a few days
ago, which sets at rest the idea that il
would be impossible for the crew of A
submarine boat to escape if ANYTHING
were to happen to the boat while sub
merged. 1t was suggested that the
men could escape through the torpedo
tube at the bow Of the boat, but many
naval officers thought this could not be
accomplished without injury. 1t was
finally decided TO have a test in this line
and two large dogs were secured as
subjects.
The Holland boat Shark. attached to
the torpedo station. was selected for the
test, and. under the command of Lieu
tenant c. I. Nelson, went out into the
bay. After the craft was submerged.
one of the dogs was placed in the tor
pedo tube, a wooden wad placed behind
the animal and the whole expelled in
the same manner as a torpedo. Many
thought that the force of the COM
pressed air charge would kill the ami
NAL, but it came 70 the surface and
swan ashore as if nothing had oc-
Cured. The other dog was then ex-
perimented upon and il likewise came
to the surface uninjured.
The result of the test shows that. in
case of trouble with boats uDder water.
the crews could find an exit i'm This
manner and that the danger of injury
would be very small.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Rear Ad-
niral Walker to-day informed the Pres
fdent that in his opinion it would be ex-
pedient to leave to the marines the pro-
lection Of the republic of Panama, and
that it was unnecessary to increase the
force Of marines already in Panama or
in isthmian waters. Regarding the
health Of the marines, Rear Admiral
Walker told the President that it could
scarcely be better. He said that while
the marines were welcomed and their
presence was realized to be for the best
interests Of the republic, the sending
of regular troops might cause a feeling
of uneasiness.
Despite the peaceful report made by
Rear Admiral Walker, the probability
is that two more battalions Of marines
VHill sail next week on the Dixie from
Philadelphia for Colon. It is felt at the
Navy Department that it wifi be we'll
10 have a sufficient force in isthmian
waters to permit Of frequent reliefs for
the force ashore. Between now and
Monday the question will be decided
definitely.
The official announcement is made
that General Elliott, commandant of
the marine corps. viii go to the 18TH
mus, as the administration wishes him
to make a thorough inspection of con-
ditions there, both from a military and
sanitary standpoint. The Dixie will
carry a number of rapid-fire guns.
Commanding the two battalions will be
Lieutenant Colonel William p. Biddle

JAPAN WILL NOT RECEDE.
Diplomats i'm Peking Expect War I'm
less Russian Makes Concessions.

PEKING, Dec. 23-The optimistic
feeling in some quarters concerning war
between Japan and Russia is not
shared by the other diplomats at Pc
king, whose knowledge Of the present
situation entities their opinion to the
highest consideration. It is positively
known that the japanese Government
has drawn the line for a settlement,
beyond which it will not make any ma
terial concessions. and that il is deter
mined TO fight before yielding what il
considers to be Japan's vital interests.
1t is believed that unless Russia con-
cedes important points. another ex-
change of notes viii precipitate the
crisis.
1t is also believed that Japan will
refuse any arrangement holding in
allegiance the question OF the evacua-
tiOn of Manchuria, which was one Of
the terms of the proposed arrangement
recently announced from ST. Peters
burg and which, it is now supposed,
was intended by the Russian Govern
ment as a ''feeler." This would be a
violation of express pledges given to
Japan and China. Minister Uchida is
reported TO have said he would be
obliged TO resign his post in the event
of such an agreement.
The most dangerous factor in the
situation is the confidence Of the Rus
sian officials in the Far East that a
war would mean an easy victory for
Russia and the challenging tone Of the
Russian officials and newspapers.
The intelligent Chinese officials await
developments with the deepest anxiety.
They foresee the many perils menac-
ing China in the event Of war and the
possibilities that a partition Of the en-
pire may result from China's inability
to maintain the neutrality of her har-
bors and subjects.
The younger officials and the news
papers discuss the possibilities Of an
alliance between China and Japan. but
the only available Chinese troops are

pointed commander Of the imperial

BERLIN. Dec. 23.-The German For
eign Office. in estimating the probable
tiles of war in the Far East, fixes it's
attention at this moment on Great Brit
ain rather than on Japan. for it is rec
ognized that Japan is only waiting for
Great Britain to give the word before
beginning hOstilities. A new and even
portentous element in the situation. as
it is looked upon here. is the rising feel
ing in Great Britain that Russia must
yield or Japan and Great Britain ought
TO fight ner
From the highest diplomatic source
it is learned that the German Govern
ment. while refusing to believe that
war is certain. is convinced now that,
if war between Russia and Japan
comes. Great Britain viii take part
in it. because the British Government
looks upon war as possibly the only
means OF saving and establishing
her position in the East.
Sir Frank Lascelles, the British EN-
bassador. who returned here from Eng
land three days ago, is understood to
have impaired his impression unOf-
ficially to the German Government
that the British Cabinet apprehended
that war would result if Russia per-
sisted in her present attitude toward
Japan. This expression of opinion by
the ambassador was stripped of all
suggestion that Great Britain might
participate. but great significance is
attributed TO il.
The leading financiers know nothing
of any Russian Overtures to float a
loan of S125. 200. 900 in Germany. and
the report to that effect, published by
the Tageblatt in a dispatch from ST.
Petersburg is regarded as unfounded.
