Insignia For Second Harvard
 Hockey Team


 HARvARDs athletic committee did
 a nice thing in deciding to award an insignia to every member of the second university hockey team Those who win be permitted to wear the .sH2d,- if the student council approves the action of the committe. of which there appears no doubt, are Brown, Ed wards. Hastings. Monatt, Murphy, Patterson. Reycroft. Sagar, Taylor, Townsend, Trainer and Williams. The seven played an interesting schedule of games, tying Andover 1 to 1, defeating St. Marks to and Rindge to 1. The team was beaten by Arlington 8 to and by Brookline ? to 1. Hockey being a major sport at Harvard. the players who will be eligible for the sew en next winter are having spring prac- tice. Beginning this week, the men will play in the arena twice each week until the ice season Is at an end. Har- ward. like Princeton. will suffer heavily through graduation of good men. Nine of the thirteen Crimson stick wielders who participated in the ' ale series will receive their degrees next June and of the regular seven only two men will re- mafn-CIaflin and Phillips. The fresh- man seven will supply some good ma teriaI, and there should be players of ca1fber developing out of this year s second seven Princeton loses mum < ber of hockey stars, including Hobey Baker Kuhn, Winants and Ennons
 In commenting upon the intercol- collegiate hockey season just closed, Malcolm K Gordon, who coaches the hockey teams at St PauTs school, Con- cord declares that the New Hamp- shire school in 1912 and 1913 had six men of the seven on the all college ko-kev teams of those years. This year. in picking his all star team, he selects Carnochan, Willetts. CIaf1in and Hopkins of Harvard and Kuhn, Baker and KiIner Of Princeton. This gives St -Paulss five men for the Gordon all college seven of this year. CIafiin and A Hopkins have come from other schools Of Hobey Baker he says:
 with his passing out of college this year the game, so far as the colleges are concerned, is losing not only it's most brilliant exponent of hockey, but what is more important. it is losing one who has proved himself under all cir crr1stances the cleanest of players and one to whom this great winter sport owes much for the high ideals of his sportsmansnip which he has put into Q-s1=nnc k>nz.>@--N

Spaeth Opposes Four
 Mile Races

DR. J. DUNCAN SPAETH. coach of
 the Princeton crews. is opposed to the four mile race for college crews. He says in a statement to the Prince tonian:
 e.I have always been opposed to the four mile race for Princeton. There may be less harm in the longer race for those colleges which can practice for the full distance on their home course, but I do not believe in spend ing so much time and money to send crews away for practice do not ob- 5ect So much to tho length Of the race itself as do to the training necessary to put men in shape for it.
 -Four miles is no harder on the men than two if they have been properly trained. but to prepare a crew for four miles nec:essitates putting them through more mileage under strain and is thus apt to overdevelop them. They are frequently made to suffer for this in after years. also it requires much more time to prepare for the longer contests and tends to intrude too much on the regular work of the college If anything, it overempha- sizes the business of training and tends to make Q grind out of what ought to be a recreation.''

 Both Mir Pynchon and E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia, treasurer of the syndicate were pleased with the prog ress made. They said the framing was so far along that she would be ready for the planking in another week.

UNITED STATES OFFERS
 I'D ACT AS MEDIATOR
(Continued from Page 1.)

(COnt1nued rom Page l.) American diplomats have been mak- ing of their own initiative for several days, it appeared probable to officials here that England and France might accept the tender of good office. An acceptance by Great Britain, it is per stunned, would mean similar action by her allies, Russia and France.
 Depends on Germany.
 All eyes here are turned on Berlin, where it is believed the decision on mediation really lies. Ambassador Ge- rard has been conspicuously active since hostilities began in his efforts to suggest some way for a pacific cet- tlement, and the general trend of opinion in white house circles was one of optimism.
 Another basis for hope was the fact that, inasmuch as the United States IS in no way party to the European dls- put, a rejection of her tender of good office would be contrary to the spirit of The Hague convention, which specifically suggests that Gin case of serious disagreement or conflict, the signatory powers agree to have re- coure, as far as circumstances allow, to the good office of mediation of one or more friendly powers" Article of The Hague convention says:
 "Powers strangers to the dispute have the right to offer good offices or mediation even during the course oi hostilities.
  "The exercise of this right can nev- | CT be regarded by one Or the other oi | the parties in conflict as an unfriend- l ly act.
 Independently of this recouse, the signatory powers strangers to tho dispute, should on their own initia tive and as far as circumstances ma! allow, offer their good offices o7 mediation to. the states at variance.
 Poor Diplomacy to Reject. l These clauses would have made i embarrassing for the United States t' refuse the tender of good offices made by Argentine, Brazil and Chil' in the Mexican conflict.
 None of the powers, it was pointed out, would suffer any disadvantag' through the assistance of mediation Under The Hague convention tn part of the mediator consists il "recoaciling the opposing claims ant appeasing the feeling of resentmen which may have arisen between tn states at variance" and mediation has "exclusively the character of ad vice." and never binding force.'
 The first step which the Unite States would take in the vent of general acceptance of it's 2roposa would be to suggest suspension hostilities. Thi would not involv any interruption or delay in mobili zation or measures of preparation TO war.
