BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Society Elections.

New Haven, April 23.--Yale is dom- mated, in it's extra -earriculun1 life this week by two interests, war ana pase- ball. Bugle calls and pistol poPpaneS were frequent during the nrsI oL tne week Now the latter are more rare as one 38 calfbre bullet crasheq through an instructors window ana produced little rem0nstranee on tne part of the occupant. Tne LoFmaLioh of a cavalry squad at laae. thins visit here two weeks ago. is one CT the war issues being taken up. Inere has been considerable mock drliiing- Down in the oval the other night squad of juniors made a tent ott or a bed sheet, built campfire in front of it, mustered a drum into service, and had the whole class looking ad- miringly at it's display Of tactics The attitude of the thinking men toward the situation. particularly the visit oI Norman Angel, the distinguished pe&ee advocate of London, and his lecture. on America, Mexico and the Woffd g War System, has turned the eurFehl from the spectacular side of war to the more serious aspects. The undergrad- uates are getting quiet again.
 The orening of the home baseDaH season with Columbia was ausplclous, although Pennsylvania defeated 1a1e last Saturday at Philadelphia 6 10 D: An eighth inning rally at the neld yesterday uncovered some of the strength that people have been looking for in the nine. The first base prob lem seemed to be pretty well settled with Hanes at the sack and the Dat- ting powers of the team were well shown against the champion ceiiese nine of New York city. The score was 6-3. Yale also this week defeated the New Haven Eastern league team. It was the latter's first game and they showed lack of practice.
 In rowing, the agreement has been drawn up and signed for the three cornered race on Lake Cayuga, Ithaca. on May 23, over two mile course, between Yale, Princeton and Cornell. This week too Coach Frank Hinkey has begun spring football practice, and with the track men in training for the spring meets the activity at fale- field is at its height.
 Few more unexpected and sponta. neous demonstrations have occurred at Vale than the ane which began at nine o'clock Sunday evening; aItee the news had been posted on the Iale News Bulletin in Berk1ey oval that Huerta had refused to salute the flag In one way it was perhaps most .thoaghtless thing started in a spirit of bravado but in many other respects it had ring of patriotism and en- thusiastic Yale spirit that no one who saw, or marched in, this Sunday night parade of two thousand men, will fer- get.
 The posting of the bulletin on the News board-which has become in the last few days a center of the greatest interest-was followed by six thunder ing shots from a big revolver and then a bugie rang out. The juniors plled down into the oval and followed the cornet over into the campus, where in the course of the march around the oll 1ra afhRp classes RGf into line. Then the parade swung over into Shelf town and picked up a thou sand more men. The whole mass or cheering. singing men. led by a drum and bugle, with a plentiful distrfbu- ton of revolver shots. and one man shouldering a rife, now marched down around the green and it was sur prised lot of New Haven people who saw them coming. At Osborn hall, halt was made and various undergrad uate speechmakers voiced their senti- ments. A long cheer for President Wilson was given, and following the sentiment expressed that War is hell. give us helP' the Yale cheer rang out with three "'hells' on the end.
 But the more serious part Of the evening began here, when it was sug- gested that the men march out u Professor Taft's and President Had ley's. On the way the parade stop ped in front of Secretary Stokes house on Elm street. They eheered for Stokes and shouted war. Finally the secretary appeared at an upper win dow in dressing gown. He took it, he said, that they were on heir way to send off President Hadley, who, was leaving tomorrow for Oxford He was interrupted by shouts of war. Some body beat the drum. Then the sec retary said that he hadn't read the evening papers, and proceeded to iIn- press the seriousness of war.
