PLEADS THE SERVANTS CAUSE
REV. DR.. JOHN VAN SCHAICK,
JR., TO HoUsEKEEPERs.
Expresses Qualification That So
Much Is Being Done to Anchor
ate the Situation.

The cause of the servant was pleaded
vigorously by Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick.
jr., at the annual business meeting Of tie
Housekeepers' Alliance. in the woman's
building Of George Washington University
yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Van Schaick declared that 1t was
the snobbish. unjust and unkind house
keeper who was responsible for the un-
satisfactory condition of domestic service
today. He said that he was glad the
Housekeepers' Alliance was devoting it
self to careful study of conditions and
doing SO much to better the situation.
ut is an amazing thing that so-called
kind, Christian women should be devoid
of kindness and justice to those they en-
ploy as servants. I have seen their look
of blank amazement when it was sug
gested to them that the servants came
under the law Of brotherhood which binds
US all together.
There are housekeepers who would be
Mortified at the idea OF shoplifting, who
steal from their servants, neglecting to
pay them all that is due them, or II they
are Ill and do not come to get their pay,
fall to follow them up and see that they
get their due

Los Angeles Folks Make Applica-
ton for Uncle Sans Machine.

Application has been made to the Signal
Corps for the use of the army aeroplane
at Los Angeles, Cal, during the aviation
meet there from January 10 to 20 next.
The appeal was made by Senator Flint
Of California, who is much interested in
the meet. There is to be a big gathering
there Glenn Curtiss Is to be the star
performer. and there will be other at
fractions in the shape Of free and dirigible
balloons.
Gen. Allen, chief of the Signal Corps,
is out of town. and will not return before
Monday. 1t will depend largely upon him
whether the army aeroplane will be sent
to Los Angeles. One thing that stands
in the way of complying with the request
is that both Lieut.. Lahm and Lieut..
Humphreys. who were train in the use
of the Wright machine, have been sent
back to their regiments, and there Is no.
body familiar with the construction Of
the machine now attached to the Signal
Corps except Lieut.. Foulois. He has re-
ceived some instruction, but Is not yet
regarded as fully qualified operator.

MOSBY DENOUNCES FOOT BALI
CALLS THE MODERN COLLEGE
SPORT MURDER.
Declares That If It Continues It
Should Be Conducted Under
the Regulations of War.

RICHMOND, Va, November 27.-Col.
John s. Mosby denounces foot ball in an
interview in which he compares the game
to actual warfare. maintains that the
large number of fatalities represents SO
many men murdered and declares that
the past and present ideals Of manhood
in the great American universities repre-
sent the difference between Stonewall
Jackson and John l.. Sullivan.
The Death of Christian.
Il have read with Indignation mingled
with great sorrow the account of the
murder of young Christian, a student of
the University of Virginia. in foot ball
game in Washington with Georgetown
University" says Col. Mosby. Il use the
word murder advisedly. The killing was
not accident. The very fact that a uni
versity surgeon went with the team
shows that they were going to war. They
neglected. however, to provide an ambu-
lance to carry off the wounded.
Il hope if this barbarous amusement is
continued the board of visitors will re-
quire it to be conducted in accordance
with the regulations of modern war;
Dying Gladiator Recalled.
THE shouts in the Coliseum over the
dying gladiator-'butchered to make a
Roman holiday'-have for years echoed
through the arcades OF the university
The defenders of such sport say it de-
velops the manhood of youth. I deny it,
unless by manhood they mean physical
strength. My idea of manhood is a sense
of honor and courage; such qualities may
exist in weak body"
