A DELEGATION OF SHOE MEN
CONTINUED from Page One.)

ITO try to repeat from memory what
the President has sa ID when y year has
elapsed is to show entire Indifference to
accuracy as well as TO proprety. Yet
this is precisely what Mr.. Whitney did IN
the Massachusetts campaign that has
~1ust closed. He pretended to quote what
l said during the course of the long and
Informal interview with his com'nittee a
year before. no notes of the conversation
having been taken at the time. Not only
did he misquote the words l used. b,lt BY
suppressing almost all that l had said,
and by giving what he purported TO give
entirely apart from its context, lie alb
SolutCly and, as ! am constrained to be-
licve, deliberately misrcpresentcd what
had occurred; and he knew well that it
was impossible for the President of the
United States To enter into Il personal dis
cusSiOn about the matter with him.
With this experience in view, / can
not enter into any discussion with you
on the merits of ycn" proposal and must
content myself with saying that it shall
receive my most earnest, attentive anu
respectful consideration"

MANY DIFFICULTIES
Encountercd in Engineering at Wash
ington Sarracka-The Reports

Washington, Nov. l5.-Majo Edward
Burr, corps of engineers and command
amt Of the engineer school at the Wash
inSton barracks, in his annual report
to Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
tells of some Of the difficulties that
have been experienced in getting that
important institution into working or
der. For instance, the instructions Of
officers was almost completely Sus-
pended for a year ana a half owing to
the fact that SO urgent was the demand
for engineer officers on active duty that
no time could be spared for the school
course.
However. the conditions which
brought about this suspension had
been anrl:orated and the school will
resume Its full functions, this winter
the course of instruction being similar
to that Of previous years, involving a
course of two years, divided into three
departments Of military engineering
and electrics, Including mechanical en-
@inCering.

Thus far in the nine games, BOWdOin

If L. Of NJ. wins next Saturdays

the championship. If BoWdOm wins OF
if the game is q tie, BoWuoin has a
clear title TO the championship. ii
ROWdOin loses, it will he tied with
Maine for the championship. That is
the way the thing figures on the per-
centaCc basis. The championship is de
ter1hincd by dividing the number OF
games won by the humber Of games
played. Thus far Bowdoin has p}ayed

played three and Won one. thus HAVING
333 per cent. and Colby, having played

very active and loyal almunus of Bates

athletics more closely or inteliigently
than lie does. In speaking with a
Journal man regarding last Saturdays
game ut Lewiston he said: Il am sorry
that some Lewiston correspondents
have sent cut newspaper reports that
there was dirty playing by BowtloiI
men il Saturdays game, for such re-
PORTS are untrue and they do not repre-
sent the feelings of the Bates coaches
players or students. 1t was hard
played game, but | saw no smuggling OF
unfair tactics of any kind. The Off
cials seemed wholly impartial and
have heard 10 fault found with them
by Bates men. Neither Coach Purintor
nor Captain Kendall nor their men are
making eyc uses or crying baby, and tbs
reports sent to two or three papers not
! only rnfsreprescnt their attitude but
reflect d:scre6lt upon the college. o.
| course, the result Of the game was 4
| disappointment to us and we feel that
| we had the small end Of the luck, but
| BoWdoin played Il great game and wor
| fairly. Funbling was the fatal fault OF
| Bates and it did more of it than at any
time in the season. We lose seven o!

cally complete after ten years
