Demand Georgetown Game
or Forfeiture of Mclean
Football Cup.
TROPHY NOW HELD
BY WEST ENDERS
Eatcheutes Will Insist on Full
Compliance With Terms o.
Donors Offer.
BY I. R. HILDEBRANE.

If Georgetown persists in refusing 10
play George Washington what is TO
become of the Mclean football cup
trophy?
All washington is asking why George
town will not play that game and viii
sgeep right on asking questions until a
game is arranged, or some good rea-
son advanced why not.
The information regarding this cup,
which was being held in the back
ground by the Hatchetites 10 be used
as a last resort. came TO light this
morning, and adds another to the long
lis. OF reasons why Georgetown should
meet the overtures of the downtown
school for its annual football game.
The Mclean cup was offered under
the condition that it should become the
permanent property OF one of the two
schools winning two games after a
series Of three games has been played"
Two games have been played. George
town has won them both. Unfortunate
Iy the terms Of the offer do not entitle
the winner Of the best two out Of
three" to the cup, but expressly says
that three games must be played.
The cup now rests in the trophy case
over IN Castor Hall. but George Wash
ington is ready to take any steps to
insist on its prerogative of winning at
least one leg on this cup, The cup.

erty of Georgetown until the terms OF
the award are complied with, and the
G. W. U. authorities declare they win,
in this instance stand on their rights
and demand the playing OF a third
game.
Why does Georgetown refuse to play
George Washington?
That the banner incident was a mere
pretext is conceded, but the real reason
is hard to divine
On all sides, evidences of hard feeling
between the two schools crop out.
An interesting sidelight on the dispo-
sition to throw the hooks into the
Hatchetites'' cropped out when George
Washington tried to schedule a game
with Fordham. a college closely. affIiat-
ed with the directors of the HnI Top
university.
This game was arranged last season,
but at the last minute this fan, only
three days before the appointed date,
Fordham wired the George Washington
manager that the game would have to
. be Cancelled on account of religious GER
emOnies.
Are these ceremonies so elusive that
they could not be provided for when
the schedule is arranged?
Are they not continually waived when
they conflict with football games?
Can you remember when a football
game was called off on such short
notice for such a unique reason?
II should also be remembered that

MR.. ROOSEVELT ON CHINA.

Theodore Roosevelt in the Outlook.
The awakening Of China liz one of the
great events OF our age. and the remedy
for tho yellow PERIL whatever that
may be, Is not the repression of life,
hut the cultivation and direction Of life.
Here MT home we believe that the rem
edy for popular discomfort Is not re-
preston, but Justice and education.
Similarly, the best way to avert possl-
Bile peril, commercial or military, from
the great Chinese people, is by behav
ing rishteouslv toward them. and by
striving to inspire n righteous life
among them. Our Christian missions
have for their object not only the saw
ing or souls, but the imparting of a
life that makes possible the Kingdom Of
God, on the earth. It seems to me that
there is no place where there is better
opportunity today to do this work than
In China, and earnestly hope we can
attract the attention of the great pub

circles to the possibility and practlca.

UNIVERSAL PEACE.

| Governor Cutler, IL short tine ago, at
| American peace society. issued aspro I
| clamation recommending that UNI
| versal peace be made the subject OF
discourses IN the various places of wor-
ship throughout the state, on Sunday,
DEC. 20. which Is set apart as peace
this suggestion will be acted upon gen
| orally 1t is during times OF peace
that the most effective work for the
perpetuation of peace can be done, ana
II is. undoubtedly, in the power of the
leaders of churches to do more toward
the accomplishment of the object, than
statesmen and politicians.
The idea OF setting apart Sunday
for the consideration OF universal
peace was suggested in letter that
appeared In the London Times, Aug.
1903, and which was signed by Il num-
Der of Influential English clergymen.
The letter recommended the stimuli
ataneous delivery in all churches of.
sermons In which the leading thought.
should be the obligation OF Christian.
nations to seek a substitute for war
There is no doubt that in the degree
that this suggestion is acted upon, there
will be u change Of public opinion. The
simultaneous attack throughout Chris
tendon upon the mental attitude that
regards war as a necessary evil, cam
not be without effect
The general Superintendcncy of the
Latter-day Saints Sunday schools
have also suggested that the anniver-
sary OF the birth OF the Prophet Joseph
be commeinorated i'll the Lntter-day
Saints Sunday schools. The two sub
jects so very we'll together, for the
Prophet Joseph was indeed mes
ascnger of peace to all the world. Sue
for peace, not only the people that have
smltten you, but also TO all people; and
lift up an ensign of peace, and make
a proclamation for peace unto the
ends of the earth. tDoc. s. Cow. 1o5:
as 39.D This is the very essence of
the Gospel of the Prince of Peace.

The text Of the notes exchanged, as

terization. 1t is ingeniously worded 40
as not to take the form of treaty.
There are no promises; no binding obli-
cations are assumed; what we have is
merely statement Of facts. It is the
wish OF the two governments" their
policy is directed they "are firmly
resolved" and in case OF any disturb
ance of the Oriental status, 1T remains

cate with each other in order to ar

said of the advantages of annexation
