the reports that the affection is mutual

The second most eligible young man
from the point of rank and station is
AdaIbert. third son of Kaiser Wilhelm II
of Germany. He is stocky, rugged, far
removed in appearance from the Prince Of
Wales Royal parents have thrown him
and the quartet of imperial girls together.
But nothing has happened.
In the olden days nothing was expected
to happen. Rather. it made no difference
But times have changed. The royal girl
demands her romance. She will not be
cheated out of her need of love and
affection. She has read the romantic
novel and she knows what is her due
of love and affection as a woman. She
demands TO marry the man she loves.
She will not take this one or that one
to please her fathers prime minister.
This changed attitude of the royal
young lady seems to have been the stone
wall on which the plan for scaling the
Balkan peace by royal matchmaking was
shattered.

Both Huerta and Carranza should

could be relied upon.
The commission should make every ef-
fort to bring about peace between the op-

Princeton Out of Big Race. 4
Michigan deserves a great deal Of
credit for downing Pennsylvania as
hard as she did Saturday. 1t was gen.
orally expected that Yost's men would
get away with a victory but no one,
not even Yost himself, or the most
loyal Michigan followers, expected as
big a score as the Western crew
rolled up. In the second period Mich.
igan rolled up IA points and in the
third 20.
The result of the game was due to-
the fact that Michigan had the Penn
crew guessing all the time. When
the opposing backs played back the
Michigan play would be through the,
line. And when the backs were up.
close a forward pass was used.r
Pennsylvania outweighed Michigan
and had better squad of substitutes
to fall back on, but the crew were,
simply carried off it's feet by Mich
igan's clever use of almost every play
known on the gridiron. p
The Princeton Tigers are out of the
eastern championship race. Harvard,
pet them way out by defeating them
20-to 0 Saturday. Princeton never
had chance. They were simply outs
played, as the score shows. And as a.
result of the game, it is generally be-
lieved that Harvard is going to Gomez
out on top in the championship series
race. Next Saturday the crew lines
up against Brown, which should be,
soft pickin'. And on Nov. 81, the
Crimson eleven mixes with Yale.
That will be real battle.

of Illinois, who on Saturday suggest

tween eastern and western cham,

gian relief fund, today declared he
