young rival and the match was squared

That the present infield combination
is by far the best Griffith has had since
taking charge here must be con ceded, and
it is not likely he intends to make any
changes in this department. The team
never played better ball in it's career
than since Shanks was shifted to third
and Foster to second, which has added
materially to its defensive strength.
The infield played splendid ball in tie

VICTORY FOR COMMON SENSE

THE special case of police interference
l. with moving pictures which excited Phila-
delphia Saturday is probably ended forever.
1t would be a happy thing If its lesson were
learned forever
The court acted in a spirit of sound and
undismayed democracy when It refused to
enjoin production merely because it was
alleged that riots might follow. There was
a pony in a stable, but the court refused
to lock the door until reasonable suspicious
of horse stealing could be produced. AS 1t
happened, there wasn't even a hand raised
against the precious animal. The court and
the citizens Of Philadelphia Joined to vindi-
cate the city's honor. The police depart
ment. a little overzealous, only gave them
another opportunity to display the funda-
mental decency of ordinary men and women.

LAFAYETTE

ON STRICT balance-sheets the accounts of
" America and France are even. In our
hour Of direst need and peril France sent us
Rochambeau. d'Estang and Lafayette. In
their day Of confusion we sent the French
the document and the example Of Liberty.
Yet. by an emotionai paradox which is
often experienced. this country feels indebted
to France more for the good we ourselves
have done than for the good we have received.
Because France, through many turbulent
years, clung to the Illusion on which this
country was founded and helped in the end
70 prove that it was not an Illusion after all,
we feel a hnship which will not be denied.
1t is good to feel this. too, on the ami
versary Of Lafayette's birth today. In his
strange, unhappy career there was no more
shining hour athan that he gave for this
country. We have paid our debt, to be sure.
But love knows very little of payment.

GERMAN GOOD FAITH

1HERE were no American passengers on
Il the Hesperian. The United States there
fore. has little. il any. direct interest infthis
latest instance OF German "frightfulness"
The indirect interest OF the American Gov
eminent Is very great. however.
Ambassador Won Bcrnstorff has assured Sec
retary Lansing that orders have been given
to the German submarine commanders To
attack no merchant ships without first Civ
ing the passengers and crew an opportunity
to escape. The Hesperan was torpedoed,
according TO all the reports, without the
slightest warning: and II Il had not been
for the greatest good fortune the lives of
more than 700 noncombatants would have
been sacrificed without any compensating
military advantage.
The attack on the Hesperan raises at once
the question Of German good faith. II may
be that II can be explained and it is possible
that we may have misunderstood the intent
of Germany in promising to abandon tho
policy OF attacking merchant ships. She
may have meant that only merchant ships
carrying American passengers were to be al
lowed time enough for their human freight
to be removed before being sunk. While the
United States has no legal right TO demand
more, its protest against the course of Ger
many was really based, not on the loss of the
lives OF American citizens. but on the vio-
lation Of all the considerations OF humanity
and of all the precedents of international
law
Americans are citizens Of the world as we'll
as of the United states, and their interest
in the humane and civilized conduct of the
war Is so acute that they will be disappointed
II the state Department in its negotiations
with Germany over the Arabic and Lusitania
outrages does not make a more or less formal
protest against the attack on the Hesperian

NEW YoRK.s NEW CONSTITUTION

NIHEN the draft of the proposed new
w Constitution for New York is published
the convention completed its constructive
work Saturday night-it should be studied by
every one interested in simplifying and
undertaking the Constitution of this Com
monwealth. The convention has adopted two
great reforms, one the short ballot and the
other the executive in place of the legislative
budget
The Governor is to be required to submit
70 the Legislature early in each year an esti-
mate Of the amount of money needed for
each department and for any new public
work, and he is to submit also an estimate
OF the expected revenue, along with any
env tax measures required to meet the an
q q pated expenditures. The Legislature may
(nenN approve or disapprove of the different
items. At present there is no business like
system of adjusting expenditures to revenue
or revenue to expenditures The Legislature
appropriates what 1t pleases with no sense
OF responsibility, as is done in Pennsylvania,
and the Governor has to pare the appropria-
ton bills down to make them fit the revenue
The executive budget system is in the in
terest Of economy and efficiency. The short
ballot is in the interest of free and represent
ative government. By reducing the number
OF elected officers and concentrating power
In the hands OF the Governor the short ballot
hxes responsibility where the power rests and
enabl4 the people TO reward or punish its
public servants, with the knowledge that the
right man will get what is coming to him.
The convention was as wise in what it re-
Trained from doing as in what 1t did, for Il
turned down a proposition to establish a
literacy test for voters and plan for state
control OF the Stock Exchange.

PHRASES FROM THE FRONT

IF THE great war has brutalized or sensi-
tized you into a state OF plying indiffer-
ence to sides and parties, at least you will
find it isn't hard to give credit where credit
is due. To the French for gallantry, per-
haps, and to the English for 'muddIing
through" Bat to the Germans goes the
honor of having imposed their phrases,
striking, expressive, human phrases, upon
the rest Of the world
"Mein Gott und Ich" had no sooner passed
into the limbo of semi oblivion when the
Prussian genius evolved "Gott NIT uns" and,
still sticking to the theological formula, fol-
lowed this with "Gott strafe England" The
phrase is in our mouths every day, while
the Frenchmans "Conspuez PAllemagne"
more pertinent and explosive, is never heard.
and Down with Germany" is a weakling
altogether. Deutschland ueber allies" (even
II you happen TO feel Deutschland unter
alles") is unavoidable; II fingers.
And knowing the power OF words and
phrases, it might seem that ultimate victory
for the nation which could evoke these pow
erful bywords were only a matter of time
Not so! For the President of these United
States has written in words OF white fire the
Other phrases, more pregnant than all pa
triotism and bravado; the first OF "strict
accountability" and the second which re-
minded the makers Of phrases that this
Government would not "omit any word or
act necessary to the performance of its
sacred duty"
Invoking no other spirit than that OF hu-
manity, these phrases. too. have their power
and their signihcance.

eERMANYs ATTITUDE.

@Ever since Germany started its
present method of submarine warfare
and ignored international law that it
might strike at the commerce of it's
enemies, the claim has been made that
it was recognized as being wrong, but
that it was done because of the act
of Great Britain in shutting off it's
foodstuffs and thus causing the non
combatants to face starvation.
1t has been further said by Ger
many through Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg in view Of the disre-
garding of the neutrality treaty with
Belgium that necessity knows no law,
but in an interview recently given by
Foreign Minister Won Jagow he de-
clares that "the question of foodstuffs
and raw materials is not a question
of necessity for Germany, but one of
principle" 1t thus becomes evident
that both necessity and principle in
the opinion of Germany are reasons for
casting aside international law or in
other words it appears possible to
raise an excuse whenever it is neces-
sary for failing to abide by the course
which it is pledged in common with
others to follow.
If Won Jagow is basing his state
ment upon actual facts, Germany is
not suffering from lack of necessities
and it has no real fear of being cut off
from an adequate supply. Such being
tho case there would appear to be
no justification on it's part for making
warfare in a manner which not only
affects the enemy, but which has so Sc
riously involved neutral nations, in
Guiding the United States. 1t appears
to be a case of ignoring certain prin-
cipIes which pertain to others for the
sake Of gaining an advantage which
will operate to its benefit regardless
of the harm which befalls the innocent
1t would appear to be determination
to win irrespective of principle or
rights of others.

Feeling that, under the present ar
ranqement, there is not sufficient OPP
portunity to gauge the true under
graduate opinion, and that 1t would pc
of advantage to form body in which
the three upper classes would nave
representatives, the academic senior
council met last week and decided to
revise the present system OF repre-
sentation. The plan presented Is Tor
a student council of the college. to be
made up of seven seniors, hve juniors
and three sophomores. The reorgan-
ization of the council will be voted
upon by the three upper classes on
Friday. The proposed constitution
states that the organization shall be
known as the student council of the
college, the object of which shall be
to afford a suitable medium for the
exchange of opinions between the aca-
demic undergraduates and the faculty,
to interpret and maintain Yale tradi-
lions and customs. to recommend and
support improvements in the college,
and to furnish a body of representa-
tive men who shall crystalline and
make effective the sanest views of I'M
1ergraduate opinion. The council will
be composed of fifteen undergraduates
chosen annually by the students.
