PNEUMONIA CLAIMS
 THOMAS 1. SHEVLIN

come as great shock to Yale men for he was widely known to a large circle of graduates and greatly be- loved by all who knew him. His loss will be felt especially by football men, The football management owes him a large debt of gratitude for the sacri- fees which he made repeatedly to help our teams out of trouble. He always seemed ready to cancel the most imperative business engagement whenever or wherever the call for help reached him. He will be missed as friend, adviser and coach During the present season when he gave his time and effort so freely to the building up of the 1915 team he gained the confidence and friendship of the whole squad"
 Three Other Noted Athletes.
 The death of Shev!t recalls to minds of Yale men three other noted athletes who have died, James J. Hogan, captain of the 1904 eleven, Gordon Brown, captain of the 1900 eleven. both of whom were victims of pneumonia, and George Stillman. who was a tackle on Browns team. The last named died of an injury re- ceived while in the Adirondacks some years ago.

When we have discovered a method by which right living may be spread so univer- sally in Chicago and New York that the two cities can with safety abolish their police forces, then and not until then it will be worth while to talk about The abolition of war.
 Willing to Go to War.
 "The sociological society meets in Washington this year, continued the paper, "only because the man after whom the city was named was willing to go to war. If he and his associates had not gone to war there would have been no possibility of discussing social values in the United States for the excellent reason that there would have been no United States. If Lin- coin had not been willing to go to war, to appeal to the sword, to intro duce militarism on a tremendous scale throughout the United States, the sociologists who will listen to this paper, if they existed at all, would not be considering the social values of slavery and such governmental and industrial problems as can now be studied in the central American republics.

LABOR PARTY TO CONFER. Will Debate British Cabinets Decision
 on COmDulsOry Service

London, Dec. 29.-A conference of representatives of the labor party is being arranged to consider the de- cision of the cabinet in regard to com pulsory military service. The ques- tion is canvassed eagerly at trades union centers.
 Advocates and opponents of con- scription are equally emphatic. There are many members of the labor party who are ready to support the doctrine of compulsory service once they are satisfied it is necessary and are as- sured it will be applied impartially to all classes. Some are still insisting on a further opportunity for unmar- ried men to offer their services with out compulsion, but it is believed the cabinet has decided against further delay.
