NEAR VERGE OF WAR
PUBLIC OPINION IN PARIS
WROUGHT UP PAST WEEK
Over Alleged Revelations of British
Readiness to Invade Germany on
Behalf of France

PARIS, October 14.-Public opinion has
been wrought up during the present week
by alleged revelations of Great Britain's
readiness to invade Germany on behalf of
France. These revelations, following the
Franco-German controversy over Morocco
and the open declaration of Prince Won
Buelow, the German imperial chancellor,
favorable to Russo-German rapproche-
ment, created a feeling that France was
the center of dangerous entity and coali-
tions.
Although the alleged disclosures did not
receive the slightest official recognition
they became the theme for discussion
throughout Europe, and the intmations
that former Foreign Minister Decasse was
responsible for them led to violent attacks
against him, one journal going so far as
to accuse him of treason.
NJ Delcasse's repudiation of the reports,
followed by the semi-official note of Friday
saying that the published reports upon
the incidents accompanying the resignation
of M. Delcasse and notably the details re-
garding the cabinet council preceding his
resignation are ineXact," pricked the SEN
satlonal bubble, but it had none the less
served to excite intense political bitterness
In the highest circles and disclosed the SEN
sitiveness of French statesmen to the
maneuvers of various European powers to
readjust their entents at the expense of
France.
The Moroccan Controversy.
From the mass of contradictory revela-
tfons and denials the fact stands out that
the Morocco controversy took Germany and
France dangerously near the verge of war,
and that Great Britain, while not officially
promising military aid, stood ready to give
France her loyal support.
The bitterness aroused by the incident is
Indicated by the calling of a special meet
ing of the Association of Partisan Press for
October 1S to consider charges made that
certain journals are under the influence
and in the pay of foreign governments
Germany Satisfied With Explanation.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, October 14-The German press
now announces that the government is sat-
isfied with Great Britains explanation of
the Paris reports regarding the events
which preceded NJ Delcasse's resignation.
1t is stated that Prince Won Buow in a
speech he will make in the. reichstag viii
give full statement in the Moroccan ques-
ton, and will also reveal how, on other oc-
casions, NJ. Delcasse took an unfriendly DO
sition toward Germany. The reichstag will
be opened next month.
Besides discussing foreign relations the
chancellor will speak on the question of the
meat famine IN Germany, and will say that
the government sees no reason to open the
market to foreign products.
Prince Won Buiow will return here from
Baden-Bad today.

open Letter to Alumni of
Georgetown University.
FOOT BALL CRITICISED
GAME AS NOW PLAYED FIT oNr.y
FOR THUGS.
1enerai Sports, When Properly Con-
ducted' Regarded as Agency for
Physical Development

Kew. David Hillhouse Buel, S. T..
president of the Georgetown Uni
versity, yesterday issued an omen
letter on the general subject Of COL
iege athletics. In it he announces
that the faculty of Georgetown is
not opposed to furtherance of field
track, aquatic or indoor sports as
mas been intimated by some of the
alumni, but that these, when prop
erly conducted are recognized as
an agency for moral and physical
development of the students
Foot ball, however, comes in for
severe criticism, President Buel de-
clarlng that the game as now PLAYED
is often fit only for thugs.
Inc open letter referred to Is as follows.
10 the Alumni and Friends of Geor.a.
town University:
Two circular letters dated July u 1eo,
On the relations of the president and d.
rectors OF Georgetown University to nth.
ieucs over the signature of the Rev. Je-
rome Daugherty, S. J., then pres dent OF
the university, were published and sent to
the students and alumni of Georgetown
during the summer
hese letters We're written by the under
signed the present president of the univer-
0iey' were submitted to the directors of the
university for revision, accepted by them
without md
ateiy approved and ordered to be printed
oy the then president of the university.
Since that time they have been approved
in regular faculty meeting by the faculties
or medicine and law, and have received the
general appreciation of the undergraduate
student body.
The effect of these letters. which NAV be
called the sMagna Cha - of Georgetown
athletics. has been to Intrust to the stu
dent body of the university the direction
and management of athletic affairs The
students have responded nobly to the con-
ndence reposed in them. They have elected
their own treasurer, had him properly
bonded, and have opened a bank account
In one of our best local banks They have
engaged coaches for the crew and foot
bail team. They have put into the field a
foot bali team of bona fide students none
or whom receive any compensation direct
or indirect, for Their athletic services.
Reasons Assigned
1t has been intimated to the president by
reliable informants, members of the differ
ent faculties, that an impression exists
among some of the alumni and friends of
the university that the present administra-
ton Is opposed to athletics and is striving
in an indirect way to destroy athletics at
Georgetown, or to hinder their normal de-
velopment, and the president has been

The testimony today was an amplifcation
of that offered yesterday. Former Mayor
Ashbridge asked permission to correct a
portion of his testimony, and although
counsel for the prosecution objected, he was
permitted to do SO.
Mr. Ashbridge said that the contract by
which Philip H. Johnson became city ar
chitect was made three months after John
son had been specially engaged to draw the
plans for the smallpox hospital. and that
building was not mentioned in the contract
with Johnson.
Mr. Johnson never drew any plans fo-
our administration under his contract"

to take charge of her fine engines.
Wise old sea dogs shake their heads.
Captain Kllgore, the handsome
young commander of the Grant, SIM
ply laughs when you speak of hoodoo
to him. But perhaps it was some-
thing more than mere "orders from
the treasury department" that
prompted Captain Tozier, her grizzled
old commander, to leave her several
months ago.
F.. Z. owen Is now serving tempor-
arily as chief engineer, but 1t is said
that he will leave next week. He was
pressed into service In order that the
Grant might take the congressional
party to the Puget Sound navy yard,
when 1t was here some days ago.
owen also deprecates the hoodoo the
ory, but he is going to leave just the
same.
Chief Engineer Robinson was the
first victim. He died at the marine
hospital at Port Townsend just five
months ago. His successor, Chief
Engineer Broadvent, was taken. sick,
to the same hospital a short time be-
for Robinson expired, and he also
died. A man named Cutchin then
braved the hoodoo. He lasted two
weeks. BY that time the hoodoo had
so pulled on him that he fled in ter
ror.
No successor could be found on this
coast and F. p. Webber was brought
here from Portland, Me. Weber
soon became dangerously i'll with
ptomaine poisoning. He was taken
to Providence hospital in this city and
after a narrow escape from death re-
covered sufficiently so that he could
return several days ago to Portland.

The trim little government vessel
is now lying at the Roslyn coal bunk

blue waves patter against her clean
white sides, and the cool sea breeze
ruffle the folds into her brilliant flags

the last vessel on the seas that would
be haunted by that horror of the
deep-the hoodoo.
