Athletics at Vale

(Waterbury Republican,
 Yale's football team has made re- markably blue record up to date and season will fail to get 8 notable dis tinction in the written annals of uni- versity athletics. The unfortunate thing about it is that the credit will be given to a coach instead of to number of persons and things. It is particularly regrettable that the re- moval of men who violated amateur sportsmanship regulations can be pointed at by critics as reason for the poor condition of the Yale eleven two weeks before the game with Princeton.
 There is likely to be some change in the management of the athletics of the university because of the dismal record of the eleven but mere change will be of no advantage until there is d return to the old faith that it is the heritage of Yale to court victory suc- cessfully and the right of it's undergraduates and graduates to expect at least a creditable rec ord from all it's representatives It is the picked team of football men. CIlOSel rom a squad Cra1neu un- der many mon believed to have expert knowledge of what they teach, that is the conspicuous failure of the hour. If the university's judgement of the men fit to train it's athletes is so poor that they fail to meet even ordinary tests, what may not be said of the university's Judgment of men fit to train it's prospective teachers, philoso- phers, business men. scientists, jurists? Yale's athletes were wont to advertise the efficiency of one part of the insti- tuition at least, not so many years ago. Larger failed to lower the colors of Ellis teams. When an eleven, or crew, or nine, or track team failed to make good, the university at once went to the bottom of matters for the cause and mild upheaval usually re- suited with benefit to all hands. In recent years there may have been the same intentions underneath the pol icies of the powers that be, but the

Tho Decline of the Jitney
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

The day is not yet when weather conditions will put an effectual quetus on the pleasures of jitney travel, but it is near at hand. Enthusiasm for the new method of locomotion is in compatible with zero weather, snow and slush. When these come in the prudent patron of the jitneN trans fers his allegiance to the trolley car and continues to keep it there until spring gives thH jitney another chance for life.
 There are those who vehemently contend that the heyday of jitney patronage has passed anyway and that it reached it's zenith in this section a numbe of months ago. It is pro bable that there is considerable justi- fication for this conclusion. Running a jitney car on five-cent fare basis is a doubious financial proposition that does not sufficiently, consider the wear and tear on the machine nor the costly mishaps that are part and parcel of auto travel. It does not take more than one collision or the break down of some part of the autos in tricate mechanism to play hob with the modest profits of an otherwise successful season.
 That, if anything will be the real | cause of the jitney decline and fall. If it could be made to pay real profit in season and out of season on mod
 crate investment, it could not be driven from it's field even by the rigors of an Arctic winter. But that it can pay any such return has not yet been esta ablshed. In fact the prob abilities are all the other way It is distinctly summer proposition in it's present stage of development and when this is added to it's other handi- caps one can easily find the reason why the jitneur of today is not the lad of yesterday or the day before. The ancients have learned the sad lesson of experience and have put their machines to other uses.

The Wife as q Partner.
(NOn1a0'S World


 To be sure it is hard to smile when the woodbox Is empty or mud is tracked into the house on big, dirty boots, or the dollar to pay for a few yards of print goods is not forthcom- ing; but it is 8 part of the business of marriage to smile and to keep smil- ing, and the wife who knows this and practices it will be a happier, a more congenial and indeed, far more de- sirable partner in the matrimonial firm, and a better comrade, than if she forgets this important feature of wifely duty and devotion. Then, too, it is far more to her credit to smile when things go wrong than when they go right. The male part ner will naturally understand this and respect it, and if he is any sort of a man he will be cheerful in his turn. For nothing begets good cheer like good cheer itself. And if the husband is able to smile upon the customers in his store or with the men about the farm, surely he is able to smile upon his wife to whom he owes not only smiles but the best of consideration and more than all love.
 There is no prettier picture in all the world than that of married com rades, unless it be married lovers I think there would be many more such pictures if every day and all the while both man and wife would keep in mind their partnership agreement, never violate it by committing any act that will warrant just accusations of unfairness or of any breach of faith or to show any manifestation of un- selfshness, either in the division of partnership profits or of losses. An, 1t is the losses that test the brittle chain of marriage partnership more than aught else! And poverty tries it most of all. But the contract is for worse as well as for better and the partners who stick together through all adversities and work hard side by side to overcome them will take a greater delight in surmounting what ever obstacles the fates may pile up in their pathway.

powers have not been as successful as Yale reputation deserved perhaps the powers ought to be cast out; perhaps only an appointee or two.
 Connecticut wants to know why its leading university cannot do better and it is vitally interested because it believes that its sons today are as capable as it's sons of the past to mas ter the essentials of any competitive game, be it on the gridiron, the track, the links, Wall street, or even the bat tlefield, if they are given equal in struction and equal opportunity. 1t will look to Yale to redeem itself in athletics in the near future, and while it may be resigned to further dismal defeats the balance of this football season, it has a right to expect evil dence of a change in sports later in the college year, and without loss of eff ciency in the lecture or recitation room.

HERMAN BIDDER.

Herman Ridder had the courage of his convictions Because he fought so strenuously for the right as he saw it, he worked himself into an early grave. A life of ultra activity was crowned with a year of trouble and worry such as few men could endure. As directing genius, as edi- tor of the New York Staats Zeitung," Herman Ridder threw the whole weight of his influence on the Ger man side of the war question and because of this received the bitter de- nunciations of those alligned with the Allies.
 The career of Herman Ridder should prove source of inspiration to all those who have come into the world without the blaring of trum- pets, minus silver spoons, to all those who must work their way through or be outcasts of society. Herman Ridder was born in New York sixty four years ago of parents who had come to this country from Germany At eleven years of age he started out on career that ended yesterday at the highest principle of the news paper profession.
 Although at times during the past year his loyalty to the land of his birth was questioned, he always proved himself a true American. Five months ago he told where he stood when he unburdered himself of the following epitath:
 1T speak for myself-and, be- lieve. for the great majority of Ger man. Americans-when I say that we are with the President of the United States to the finish in all matters af- fecting national honor or national prestige. I subscribe unqualifiedly to the statement of Carl Schurz: My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right; if wrong, to be set right .
 Herman Ridder fought the good fight. His going is a loss to the nation, loss to the city of his birth loss to newspaperdom.

Still USc Gunfints.
(Wall Street Journal.)

Down in Wall street office the war stocks were being discussed. and also the truth or falsity of the large orders said to have been received by various industrial corporations. From this the conversation turned on improved war appliances, and then some one said:
 Yes, but I know d man who is still making and selling the ld-fashioned gunfint."
 There was some comment on this, and then the first speaker said that his friend had a large factory in England for the making of gunfiints and ex ported thousands of them every year They are used in various tropical countries where the natives still use the old flintlock muskets,' said the speaker. Then there are several countries where the British Govern ment sees to it that no modern arms reach the hands of the natives. The Government permits the sale of tba old f1intock for the killing of game but would at once confiscate anv more modern styles of firearm. Nv friend goes ahead year after vaar making the old gun1ints and fndinr a good sale for them, but I don't think that the present war has caused ar,, increase in the output of his factorv :,

affiliated with the formal party The Socialist influence in the Chamber of Deputies is strong, but the new Cabinet has a lesser Socialist tinge than the old. It is charged that the Socialists in the old Cabinet did not exercise enough foresight with regard to the Balkan situation, and that this accounts for the resignation of For eign Minister Delcasse. His retire. ment must be thought to have had a direct influence in precipatlng the withdrawal of the Cabinet as a whole.
 The new cabinet is composed of lea ders of all political factions, with the idea of making it truly representa- tive of present-day French opinion and demands Politics Is reduced in it to minimum. The time and the crisis required disinterested and patriotic service, and the new body is a group of experienced men whose names will carry weight with the na- tion. It is strong Coalition Cabinet In the circustances, the country would not be satisfied with anything less than that.
 It will be noticed that there is not the slightest intimation that France is not in favor of prosecuting the war to the utmost The fact is that the Cabinet change, so far as can be rudged at this time, reflects nothing more than dissatisfaction in certain quarters with some of the means here tofore employed. The nation Is pledg- cd, together with it's allies, to fight the good fight to the end.

A Tough Job.
(New Haven RegisterD

\NeW f1dNCn IteSlSlti.'
 As we have now, saving few de- tails, recognized the republic of Mex ico for the first time since we changed administra tions it will presently be in order to follow up our recognition With a full-fedged am bassador at Mexico City. There is a report abroad that the man for the position has already been selected and that he is Henry P. Fletcher, who is now at the capital of Chile, having been raised to ambassador there last year. If he is the man, the news is good. For Henry F. Fletcher is not. be it known of the deserving democrat" school of diplomacy. As a matter of fact, he is a republican, but that doesn't matter He was Rough Rider, but he has lived that down by good record He has been in the diplomatic service for thirteen years, and has proved himself of the sort that survives administrations, even when they change the party name If he Is sent to Mexico City, he will take there a better equipment than do most men who are appointed from Washington.
 And he will go to tough job. The fact that we have recognized a fac tion as the Mexican government is no assurance of solution of the Mexican problem. Our period of 'watchful waiting" has bred no love in Mexico for the United States. The real Mex ico City has no enthusiasm for the regime of Carranza. There is no certainty of his permanence. The ambassador of the United States is put in an anomalous position. He will need all his diplomacy, and even the best efforts that even a superman can make may be wasted. Let's by all means wish him well, for he de- serves it.

A New French Ca abinct.
Providence Journal.)

It is difficult to understand all the intricacies of the French Cabinet sit : Uation, but it appears that M. Viviani, the retired Premier, was dissatisfied with the secret sessions of the Cham Der of Deputies ard with the failure of one-hundred and fifty members of the chamber to join in giving him <, vote of confidence. It is also sug- Rested that the strain of the war has been heavy upon him and he is glad to give over the direction of affairs to another and a stronger hand.
 M. Briand, who accepted Presi- dent Poincare's request to form a new Cabinet has been Premier twice be- fore. His most notable single per formance was in 1910, when, confront ed with a nationwide railway strike, he decreed that the disaffected train men should take threeweeks' course with the colors, and then set them at work to operate the trains.
 Both M. Viviani and M. Briand are Socialists, though neither has lately

Eyes Flash Electricity.
Philadelphia Ledger )


 Fishes that discharge electric cur rents from their eyes; other denizens Of the deep who entrap their prey by eEveloping it in an electric field, and eels whose power of generating elec- tricity is so great that the arm of a strong man is numbed from contact with one of them-all these were des- Cribed by Dr. Uric Dahlgren before the members of the Franklin Institute pr. Dahlgren ,who is a professor of biology at Princeton University, talked cn "Production of Electricity by Animals.' And he pointed out that it was only by fish that electricity was produced by living organisms for any apparent use, with the single eXcep ton of molluck found in Asia Minor.
 The fishes mentioned by the speaker as capable of shocking other members of the finny tribe by electric flashes from their eyes were along the coast electric eels found in South American waters, Dr.. Dahlgren explained, were capable of generating a current of more than 600 volts, although they could, as a rule, deliver not more than 250 volts, because of the resistance of their own bodies.
 Certain torpedo fishes were describ- ed by pr. Dahlgren as capable of gen erating electricity in sufficient quanti- ties to numb their enemies and also to facilitate the capture of their prey

Now that the wedding is not going to take place in the White House there will be no chance of heart-aches for those who for various reasons would not have been able to go or who might: not be invited.

WARN THE YOUNGSTERS

There are two classes of people in the United States that must be taken care of if the future brings develop ment in keeping With past accomplish ments, and these are the jay-walker, the person who crosses city streets at any point, any time, anyhow, and the trespassers who delight in walking railroad tracks. With the great num- smaller cities the jaywalker has be- come one of our greatest nuisances.
 With the wonderful growth of rail- roading the track-walker, the person who takes particular delight in trudg- ing the railroad ties, has become constant source of worry to the men year in the United States, there were more than five thousand of these fn' dividuals killed. Just how many per- sons were killed while crossing city streets because traffic regulations were Gisregarded by them has not been as certained. No one has yet compiled figures giving out this information, but it is reasonable to suppose that one- half as many jay-walkers were caught ty the automobiles as were track walkers by locomotives. This is wan ton destruction of life. Tn most cases those killed on railroad tracks were under twenty one years of age. Here then is a chance for parents to warn their young ones of the danger. A word now might save life.

Peace between the armies of Europe may come at any time Ohe sooner the better!,) but it's coming will mark the beginning of the tircest war for trade ever indulged in by the nations of the world. There is to be no peace in that struggle for a great many years to come. The United States is to be in it-perhaps the centre of the world for the manufa cturers and merchants of other nations.

(From the Albany Knlckerbocker

 They are anonymous They are iI1egible. They are too long They are on subjects of no interest tc the public.
 They are Iibellous. They would cause needless pain to orthy persons. They are written in ill temper. They are absurd
