 New York, Oct 31.-Early today the weather conditions were pro,si. tfous for this afternoons football game between Yale and Columbia Twenty ono of Yale's players arrived at the Murray Hill hotel last. night where they were joined early to-day by nine teen more,s making a squad of forty husky gridiroh men.
 Yale said a leading New Haven coach to-day, expects to win by a close score Of perhaps 12 to 6. It does not seem likely that we can keep Columbia from crossing our goal line, but we expect to be able to come of victorious 7
 The betting reflected a very pros nounced Yale sentiment, wagers be- ing constantly made at 3 to 1 that Yale will win, and at even money that Columbia would not score
 According to Mike Murphy. Yale's trainer, the team is in good condition and will line up in better shape than when they played West Point. The makeup will show no changes with the exception of substitute for Boomer who was hurt
 Columbia's eleven will miss Tomlin son, former Yale man, who did not want to play against his former col- lege His absence will probably shift Bruce to guard and allow s. Smythe, a sub, to be played at center
 Officials-Paul Dashiell of Annapo lis, Matthew McClung of Lehigh and U. c. McCracken of Pennsylvania. Time of game probably 35-minllte halves
 At the end of the first half the score was o to O. Yale at one time had ball on seven-yard line, but fumbled and it was kicked to the fifty-yards line.

England's Warning to Russia.

Great Britain has delivered a sharp rap
to the Russian policy in Mesopotamia, the
consequences of which may be of vital i'm
portance in world politics. This took the
form of a declaration in the house of lords
yesterday by Lord Lansdowne. minister
for foreign affairs. in the course of which
he said
81 say without hesitation that we should
regard the establishment of a naval base
or fortified port In the Persian Gulf by
any other power as a very grave menace
to British interests, and we should certain
ly resist it with all the means at our dis
posal.'
This was direct notification to Russia, not
to be interpreted as a challenge unless
Russia wishes now to force the issue. Just
whether it is the purpose of the cars gov
eminent to do SO cannot be foretold, but
it is apparently not the present belief of
the watchers of Europe that war will
Immediately result. Russia is not in the
very best shape in preparedness from a
financial or military point of view The
other day it was announced that M. de
Witte had managed only after much diff
Guilty to negotiate a loan for certain do
nestle purposes. The empires expenses
are enormous and peculation Is still prev
alent, so that whatever the car under
takes to do costs him two or three prices.
The trans Siberian railroad is not yet fin
ished to the stage of reliability and the
Caucasus line has not been extended
sufficiently to make of it a secure military
agency for the purpose of assailing India.
Russia has not of late years engaged in
wasteful enterprises so that it is not ex-
pected she will at once pick up the glove
which Lansdowne yesterday flung at her
feet.
In point of fact, Russia is rather over
burdened with responsibilities. Manchuria,
Mesopotamia and Bulgaria are all the
scenes of activities of the gravest cOnse-
quence to her. Japan is fretting on the far
eastern border, Turkey bristling on the
southwestern frontier and England now
bluntly defiant to the south. All these are
factors for positive difficulty.
A special significance attaches to Lord
Transformers declaration in the indication
which it gives of more vigorous foreign
policy on the part of Great Britain. The
ministry has been subjected to much criti-
cism on this score of late, and 1t may be
that the Balfour government has interpret
ed the writing on the wall and takes this
stand to forestall weakening assaults at
home.

Trades Unions and the Militia.

Governor Odell yesterday signed a bill
passed recently by the New York legisla-
ture designed to prevent discrimination by
labor unions against members of the state
National Guard. The agitation which re-
suited in the passage of the bill grew out
of the punishment inflicted by the labor
unions of Schenectady a guardsman
named Potter who responded to the gov
ernor's order for the militia to proceed to
Giens Falls to suppress riotlng there in
connection with a street car strike. Pot
ter, a journeyman painter. was expelled
from the union on his return, and in conse-
quence of the demand of the union was
dismissed by his employer. The statute
makes it a misdemeanor for any person,
whether q member or officer of a trades
union or an employer, to interfere in any
way with the employment of person who
is member of the National Guard on &C
count of such membership. to dissuade
person from enlisting in the guard by
threat of injury with reference to his en-
ployment. trade or business. 1t especially
forbids any trade organization passing reso-
lStions or bylaws discriminating in the
matter of membership against any member
OF the National Guard.
This appears to cover the case but it
Will require n pracllCal test OF the statute
to determine whether it does or not. The
unions are confronted with punishment if
they allow any utterance to go on record
in contravention of the law, but there may
be subtle but no less positive influence
to draw a sharp line between union ard
guard membership. The wiser trades or
CARNATIONS have always refrained from
raising this issue. and in many communi-
ties the miltiamen are drawn chiefly from
the ranks of the organized trades But in
the absence of specific statutes on the
subject the status of these men has never
been secure, and it is fortunate that New
York has now taken the lead and given the
mlitiamen. who are the commemorative
chief reliance in all disorders confined to
state borders and state issues the protec-
tfon which they deserve and apparently
require. A similar law should be enacted
in every state in the Union and federal
law as well for the District of Columbia
and the territories. The matter is too i'm
portant to be left for future settlement in
tie stress of conflict.

Delay In Colombia.

The delay of the Colombian government
in acting upon the isthmian canal treaty
can be explained either in terms of the
manana habit of the Central and South
American countries. or on the score of the
operation of potent influences inimical to
the canal construction. The former reason
is not 50 probable as though there were
no money consideration awaiting Colombia
The Colombian treasury is low and the
100000 which the United States stands
ready to pay soon as the treaty is rat
flied would replenish it most comfortably.
Then there Is an annual rental which can
not begin until the United States Is given
Possession of the canal strip and which
would form most welcome addition to
the country's income. So that the theory
that the indifference which appears to pre-
vail at Bogota is merely constitutional
lacks force. especially in the light of rea-
sonable suspicion that the habit of procras-
tination is being deliberately fostered by
the interests which have fought the canal

The day has passed for the overturning
of historic idols. For time iconoclasm
held full sway and the heroes tottered and
fell in the estimation of the credulous-
also the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF scathing
comments on their careers. 1t appeared
as though no parsonage was safe from the
assaults of these critics. Now this fashion
has been succeeded by an antithetical ten
dency to condone the faults of the dead
who are additionally held up to the scorn
of the living because of their misconduct
Hero-smashing has given place to a process
of rehabilitation. apology, defense and
hero-making One of the first to be thus
chosen for restoration to the esteem of the
present generation was Aaron Burr, who is
generally regarded as one of the least COM
mendable of American characters novel

with fact and fiction inextricably mingled,
first attracted attention, and then league
was formed both to exploit the book and
to overcome popular prejudice to the name
Of Burr. The effort aroused interest rather
for its novelty than Its own force, and 1t
soon passed. Next came literary apology
for the conduct of Benedict Arnold a more
formidable task, and one not lessened by
the method of treatment. consisting as the
apology did of the excuse that Arnold was
tempted to his treason by his wife. The
most astounding endeavor in this line OF
rehabilitation. however. is just at hand in
the news that a lecturer before the New
York Historical Society has undertaken to
demonstrate that Captain Kidd. whose
name is identified with the history OF
American piracy, was the victim OF treach-
cry and in reality deserves the esteem or
posterity. His argument Is that Kidd was
sacrificed and that the records Will prove
the contention If read imparttally. This
student of history has set formidable
task for himself, but one less fraught with
pitfalls than the effort to restore Arnold

A Loneliness.

When all the folks went Yisitin' w..

An wonder how the homelke cheer
Could suddenly be tinged with gloom.
The sunshine didn't look the same,
The flowers dwindled pale an thin.
And oh, the day was long an drear
When all the folks went visitin'.
And now although the world once more
Smiles with the blossoming of May,

OF hopes an friendships passed away.
And while the radiance of the scene
Response within my heart must win,
I can't help feelin' like 1 did
When all the folks went Yisitin'.

Civic Centers.
From the Boston Herald.


One of the suggestions in connection
with schemes for remodeling the east side
of New York. which it appears must soon
be brought about through the new avenues
of communication with Brooklyn that are
building, is that number of civic centers
be established 1t may not at once appear
what a civic center means. Practically it
means the grouping of the public build
ings and public grounds that are neces-
sary for, or appropriate to, one of the sub
divisions of the city. A recognized public
necessity now is a local park and play
ground. The idea is that this shall be
central, as nearly as may be practicable,
for certain ward or district, and that
around 1t, or near 1t, shall be placed. the
principal school building, the local public
library building, public baths, a court house,
If necessary, and, jim short, whatever pub
lie institutions are provided for that sec
ton of the population. 1t is believed that
by such grouping not only public convent
ence will be served. but that an architec-
tural ensemble may be established that will
have positive educa tional advantages.
