New York, Feb. 9.-Charles Baird, di-
rector of athletics at the University of
Michigan, who is endeavoring to ar
range for an eastern game for the Mich
igan eleven next fall, conferred today
with Manager J. J. Prall of the Column
bia football team about a game be-
tween Columbia and Michigan to be
played in New York late in November
probably on Thanksgiving day. Mr.
Prall said that it will be impossible to
make any definite answer until after
Columbia'S regular schedule of games
is decided on. If it proves possible to
so arrange the schedule that Columbia
will have the week before Thanksgiv-
ing free in all likelihood Michigan will be
played. On the other hand if Columbia
finds it necessary to meet one of her
regular opponents late in November the
Michigan project will be abandoned.
Another of the eastern universities
prominent in football is also considering

Tolstoy,s Son on the War.

A cablegram from st. Petersburg says:
Count Tolstoy's son, Leo, In an aru-
Gle in the Novoe Vremya, takes position
diametrically opposed to his father. he
has lust returned from seeing off his broth
err. who is departing for the 'front.' and
writes of the touching scenes he witnessed
at Tamboff as the reserve men left for the
far east. Nevertheless young Tolstoi says,
the peasants are all united in agreeing that
the war must be fought out until Japan is
subdued. He adds:
1T is a hard time for Russia, but 1t is
the period of her regeneration. The war
In the far east Is a great war, such as
Russia has not seen since the days of Peter
the Great-a war for the possession of the
eastern shores of the European-Asiastic
continent, Just as in the days of Peter 1t
was for the western shores. Just as in
the war with the Swedes we suffered at
Narva, but we conquered at Poltava, we
are now suffering reverses with the Asiatic
Swedes, but there will come a day when
Japan will be vanquished."
In concluding young Tolstoy predicts the
triumph of Russia, which, he declares, Is
destined Ito become, instead of England
the greatest nation in the world" He says
the Slavs will spread and absorb all the
neighboring peoples they have already sub
ern Russia and Siberia, adding:
Russia is the ony power destined to
realize the dream of world conquest"
