Review Of the Worlds Events

reichstag as a result of the interna-
tional crisis Of last summer has arous-
ed intense interest in the press and
among the public. The army will also
figure. although to a smaller extent,
in the appropriations asked for.
In connection with a published re-
port that a military bill which will add
two entire corps to the army is to be
introduced the Borsen Zeitung says
that the building of the navy is re-
garded In authoritative circles as the
more urgent measure and the reorgan-
ization of the army will be taken up
only after what Is necessary for the
navy has been accomplished. A gen.
eral military bill is not to be expected
for several pears.
ST. PATRIcK's DAY
As a result of a decree of the pope
issued last July in reference to holy
days st. Patrick's day was taken OF
the list Of Irish obligatory holy days
on which Catholics are called upon to
hear mass and abstain from unneces-
sary work.
At the request Of the Irish Catholic
hierarchy, the holy see issued another
decree which is interesting to Irish
people throughout the world. Accord
ing to this, the feast Of st. Patrick
will continue to be a holy day in Ire
land, without, however, being proceed
ed by a day Of fasting or abstinence.
FOOTBALL
In view of this being the time of
the year when new football rules are
discussed, recent comments by Train
ers Donovan Of Harvard, John Mack
Of Yale and Keene Fitzpatrick Of
Princeton are Of interest. They de-
clared that under the football rules Of
1911 the list Of accidents on the grid
iron was decreased. Said Trainer Dom
ovan:
although Harvard had a number
Of minor injuries, perhaps more than
in 1870, the extent Of the injuries was
not al great as In former years. Two
Of Cur players were out of the game
for the season, one with a broken arm
and another with a broken ankle, but
either of these injuries could happen
in any kind Of game. OF course there
will always be injuries in the game I'M
der any kind Of rules, but I think that
the game as played today has cut the
more serious injuries to a very great
extent"
Trainer Mack: "As long as there is
football there will be small injuries,
but the same can be said of any
sport. During the past season we
had a large number Of men laid up
with various injuries, such as muscle
bruises or sprained ankles, but none
was 30 seriously hurt as to cause any
alarm. In my estimation the new
style Of game al played by the college
teams offers less chance Of injury than
the old style"
Trainer Fitzpatrick: "We had very
few injuries at Princeton during the
past football season. There is no
question in my mind but that there are
fewer injuries in the game as 1t is
played today than under the old rules"

OIL TRUST PENSIONS
Stocks Of the subsidiary companies
Of the Standard Oil company having
been distributed, the stockholders of
the corporation held their first annual
meeting under the Encouragement of
affairs at Bayonne, N. j., on Jan. 8.
When the court decreed that the Stand
ard and its allied interests must dis
solve the 72,OOO employees were ap-
prehensive that the change would
abolish the pension system the Stand
ard established several years ago.
Happily for them, this is not the case,
the pension plan still being operative.
