German Army Suffers
From Lack Of Officers

CoPENHAGEN, !, Noy, 4.--tspecial
Cablegram osSNew York World and
Omaha Bse)-5The German arrnyFis suf-
feringi from shortage of Officers. The
Berliner Nachrichten makes the follow
ing complaint in this connection:
Uninterrupted and exhaustine marches
attended with heavy losses greatly de-
creased our officers. Officers are sub
ject to nervous distress and frequently
turn out to be unsuitable in active serv-
ice. Things went so far that in many
places on the western front one lieutenant
has command of two or three battalions.
The war office is making heroic ef-
forts to fill the gap thus created. The
emperor has issued decree according
to which all persons who have had higher
education will be promoted to officers
after three months service in the ranks"

CHRISTMAS SHIP
CARRYING GIFTS
SAILS FOR EUROPE
Collier Jason Leaves With
Santa Claus Contributions
from All States.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-With more
than 100 tons of Christmas gifts from
the people of America, Santa Claus
ship, the naval collier Jason, sailed
today for Europe. A message Of god
speed from President Wilson was re-
ceived by Lieutenant Commander c..
f. Courtney, u. S. N, shortly before
sailing time. The docks as the ship
cast loose her lines were black with
thousands of school children.
The gifts that the Santa Claus ship
carried were gathered from every
State of the Union. They include al
most everything from toys and dolls
to clothing and food. So heavy was
the rain of Christmas presents for the
children of Europe that a force Of
ninety soldiers and sixty sailors from
the navy-yard was required to re-
ceive and classify the gifts as they arr
rived and repack them, so that an
equal distribution might be made in
the several countries for which they
were intended.
A summary of the cargo made by
Commander Courtney shortly before
sailing showed the following items:
Fourteen carloads of children's cloth
ing, five carloads of women's cloth
ing, one carload of mems clothing,
five carloads of toys and fifty-seven
carloads of miscellaneous presents,
foodstuffs, boots, shoes, etc., total
of eighty-two carloads,

TO END NOV. "a

can rule in Vera Cruz, which was
established April u, after sharp
lighting and the loss Of nineteen
marines and blue1ackets. will be ter
minated on November "a Secretars'
Garrison today worked ont plans for
withdrawal of the troops, after the
President and Secretary Bryan de-
termined on the date for the evacua-
tion. Mr.. Bryan announced that all
the Mexican factions had given as
surances and guarantees requested
for the Vera Cruz citizens who
worked for the American govern
ment, and that nuns and priests for
whose personal safety the United
States had made itself responsible,
had left the city.
The announcement apparently came
as surprise In some official quar-
ters, as it generally had been under
stood that the evacuation would not
be ordered until 1t was determined
which of the contending Mexican
factions could control Vera Cruz and
assure execution of the guarantees.
There had been no final decision, as
far as was known, as to whom the
customs collected by American Of
flcials would be paid. 1t was said
payment might be deferred until the
uncertain situation between the fac
tions is clarified. Promises were
made to the American government
that the taxes would not be reim-
posed.

PRINCETON, Nov. IA. = Fine
autumn. weather greeted the thou
sands of followers of the great game
of szootbail who janlmed into this his
toric place today to see the annual
contest between those old rivals. Yale
and Princeton. The town was crowded
last night with old graduates, back
to see the struggle and to meet the
comrades of their youthful days. The
added seating capacity afforded by
the new stadium and the increased
transportation. facilities induced a
greater crowd to come to Princeton
than ever before, and the town was
simply packed.
1t was the fortieth meeting of the
representatives of Yale and Princeton
Last years game resulted In a 3-3
tie so neither team had revenge in
its heart today, but was determined
to win.
Despite the defeat of Princeton by
Harvard last Saturday, the Tiger
students and players were hopeful,
and pointed to instances in. other
years when defeated teams came back
and won the big game.
Supporters of the Yale eleven ex-
pected their team to duplicate Har-
NdIQ ne diC team
outweighed Princeton, but the latter
had more veterans in its lineup.
Frank Click, the Tigers star back,
was picked to start in the game. He
went in at right half. With the ex
ception of two men, all the players
were in excellent condition. Click
was not too strong. but his sturdy
physique was expected to carry him
through to the referees final whistle.
Betting favored Yale. The Tiger ad
herents were unwilling to place any
money without odds.
The Yale players, who spent the
night at New Brunswick, came into
Princeton by automobiles during the
morning. They also were reported in
excellent condition. The Yale men
were somewhat handicapped by
reason of the fact that they have their
big game with Harvard next Satur-
day, and were not inclined 70 show
all they knew about the game. There
fore. they were not expected to un-
cover all their plays unless it became
necessary TO win or stave off defeat.
