sons, but little interest has attached
to any Of the games played. The asso-
citation game in the west has been
given a wide berth by the schools and
colleges, having been fostered only by
those who were of recent English ORR
gin or who had played the game in
either England, Scotland or Canada.
The tour of the English socker team
through the United States late last
summer gave wonderful impetus to
the game, which many football loving
Americans have already decided to call
better game than American college
football. The action of the University
of Chicago seems most wise, for the
death Of the present slow, grinding
game appears to be only few years
of. The game as it is played by
American colleges, now is interesting
to only those who have Affiliations with
one side or the other. The man who
goes to see q game" stays away
when another Is played. This feeling
has taken a firm root and is spread
ing rapidly. The recent attempt on
the part Of football men of national
prominence working in cooperation
with President Roosevelt to attempt to
make the game more open was in re-
atty the first death knell for American
football as 1t is played now. American
colleges may never adopt the associa-
tion game, but ten years hence they
will be playing game more unlike
the present game than it is unlike
the socker style. At socker football
match, and many Of them are attended
by from 5000 to 5000 people right here
In Chicago. enthusiasm usually runs
high from start to finish because Of
the action that can be seen in every
play and because to, Of the rapidit7
With which the game goes along.

TREATY IS SIGNED,
Names Affixed to Pact Between China
and Japan-Important Details
of the Document

Peking, Dec. 23.-The Chino-Jap-
anese treaty was signed Friday by
Baron Komura and NJ. Uchida in be-
half Of Japan, and Prince Ching and
Viceroy Yuan-Shi-Kai in behalf of
China. The Chinese commissioners
say the treaty relates solely to Man
churian affairs, and that the reports
of Chino-Japanese alliance are false.
Washington, Dec. 23-Important de-
tails of the treaty between China and
Japan signed at Peking have reached
the state department by cable. China
consents to lease to Japan the Lao
tung peninsula, at the southern ex-
tremtty Of which is Port Arthur and
Dalny. This territory formerly was
held by Russia under lease from
China. China comedies to Japan the
control Of the railway on the PENN
sula northward as far as Changchin.
This is one Of the spurs which con-
meets with the Russian Siberian rail.
way system, and the point named
probably will mark the division be-
tween Russian. and Japanese control.
, China also comedies to Japan the
right to build railway from Antung,
on the. Yalu river, to Mukden, the, an
cient capital of Manchuria, probably
along the line of the famous old mill
tary or caravan road. It is provided,
however, that at the end of a certain
period the road may be purchased by
China.
Most important of all of the provi-
sions of the treaty is an article where
by China agrees to open to the worlds
commerce and trade 16 principal ports
and cities in Manchuria, including
Harbin, the modern Russian capital
of the province, and it's most impor-
tant railroad center, thus marking, in
the opinion of the state department Of
fcials, the final success of the long
struggle by the United States for the
open door.
