A WARNING FROM ENGLAND

-
night told the commons that Great
Britain is willing to 60 ahead as
chief banker of the allies and as
protector of their supremacy on the
sea; but she cannot in addition to
these functions be expected also to
contribute soldiers by the million,
indefinitely. There will be "discrmi-
nation" hereafter in recruiting.
Inevitably, this pronouncement
will be seized upon by the dual alli-
ance as testimony that Britain is
weakening. There has been ample
evidence already Of the German dis
position to make the most of ex-
pressions suggesting British division
of opinion about the conduct of the
war. But the guess is ventured that
Mr.. Lloyd Georges observations
were intended quite as much for the
contemplation of Rome as of Berlin.
Britain is doing a very fair share
in the cause of the triple entente.
Italy, whose interests plainly lie with
the entente, and whose sentiment is
overwhelmingly on that side, is doing
nothing. 1t is not hard to imagine
British cabinet council in which it
was decided that the chancellor
should thus convey to Italy the sug-
gestion that it Is up to her to make
contribution more satisfactory
than neutrality.
Italy has more to lose by a Ger
man. victory than any other country
save France. German victory means
the overshadowing of Italy by the
Germanic federation. No matter
what fine promises mny be made to-
day by German diplomacy, the
Italian nation makes no mistake in
it's determined and overwhelming
sympathy for the entente. 1t has
repeatedly been declared that there
would be revolution if Italy's gov
ernment should attempt to unite its
forces with those of Austria and
Germany. The Italian nation would
far rather enter the war on the side
of the entente than to see the entente
defeated.
There has been some clever and
mysterious diplomatic dealing at
Rome, and Germany thus far has
come off winner in that game. She
has baked the efforts of the entente
to bring Italy and Roumania into
the war. Mr.. Lloyd Georges obser.
vations read very much like ar
admonition to Italy to think prayer.
fully of the ultimate consequences
before she adopts a course of ulti.
mate neutrality with bribe from
Vienna and Berlin as its price. That
sort of neutrality would make hel
halfway the enemy of the entente.
Beyond all this, Italy has beer
and yet is one of the most important
gateways through which German,
and Austria have been looking out
at the world since the war began
Italy has been thriftily cashing IL
the benefits of this position, to tn.
increasing disaffection of the entent,
powers. The time seems very ap
propriate for somebody to inform
Italy, on behalf of the entente, tha'
she must get in soon as friend, Of
depend on the friendship of Ger
many and Austria, if she cares tt
take chances on that sort of friend
ship. Mulling over what the chan
cellor has said, Rome may realiz,
that her time for action is ripe.

USING EVERY EFFORT
CONTINUED from Page One)

Despite the coming Of winter there
has been more activity on the Russian
front. True, there has been a lull in
the fighting in Courland. where the
Germans have apparently failed to
take Riga or Dvinsk or to inabrove to
any marked degree their position. 1t
is believed that they are preparing for
another drive. 1t must be made soon
as snow is already falling and the
movement of heavy artillery is becom-
ing more difficult.
Along the Styr the Germans are en-
gagged in counter offensive and have
recovered some territory which Gen.
Ivanoff took from them
Further south, in Galicia, the Rus
SLAMS have returned to the offensive
and according to Vienna have made
unsuccessful attempts to cross the
Stripa. The Turks report increased
activity of the allied artillery and
warships in the Dardanelles.

INGALLS, DRAMATIC
REPLY TO WIN. SHAW

Boston, Oct. S1.-One of the most dra-
matte happenings of the campaign took
place Friday night at Worcester when
Mr.. Mccall made answer to William
Shaw, the Prohibition candidate. and
read to the audience the answer which
Theodore E. Stevenson, the president of
the Boston Christian Endeavor Union,
also made on the same subjtct.
Here is the verbatim report of the re-
marks of Mr.. Mccall:
my references to Mr.. Shaw have been
few and kindly. but when he got to the
point of calling me coward and pro-
claiming that he was attempting to Sc
cure the election of the Democratic can
didatc, the situation had vastly changed.
and 1 call attention to what many very
good people were thinking throughout
the commonwealth, that he was bringing
the great Christian Endeavor society in
to politics. and also doing il much harm.
He is reported to have amiably called
me a liar. Thursday, in Worcester.
ITO me this exhibition is pathetic, but
will quote evidence from a man of
high standing which is conclusive upon
this point. Theodore f. Stevenson, pres
ident of the Boston Christian Endeavor
Union, including IS societies, is reported
yesterday:
81 am incensed at William Shaw's
use of the Christian Endeavor for
political purposes. 1t is useless for
Mr. Shaw to deny that his supporters
are trying to drag our great order in
to politics. l myself have received a
letter from Prohibition headquarters
asking me as president Of the Boston
Christian Endeavor Union to use the
make votes for Mr.. Shaw. We have
machinery. just as the political parties
have machinery but it is not for polit-
ical purposes, and this attempt to use
it makes me and many Of my friends
hot under the collar
This great order is the work Of
one with whom for three years l was
a college mate. The men at Dartmouth
College at that time loved and ven-
Grated Frank Clark and took great
pride in the work he was doing. GER
tainly hope no permanent evil will
come upon this splendid organization
through the tactics which Mr.. Shaw
has seen fit to employ. l am sorry for
Mr.. Shaw.
II urge everybody to- continue their
contributions to the Christian En-
deavor Society. but l trust that all
Christian people will see to it that
the efforts which have been made to
use this orga nization in politics shall
not bear fruit

CRID|RON BATTLES OF SATURDAY
AROUSE FURTHER UNCERTAINTY
IN FORECAST OF PROBABILITIES

punging and end-running game that
the Ellis were able to present rea-
sonably strong opposition. When
forced to face modern overhead or
spread -across-tl,e-feld attack. Yale
was absolutely powerless to diagnose
the play or check the advance OF the
ball.
Yale's Weaknesses
Colgate did not use these methods Of
offense as frequently as Washington
and Jefferson did last week, but she
mixed up her old and new game in
bewildering manner. Aside from some
brilliant individual playing by Scoville
and Wilson, the Ellis had nothing
worthy of mention in the form of an
attack. The line from end to end was
outplayed except on occasional mo-
ments The backfield was slow and
weak The interference was easily
smashed and the tackling high and
uncertain Nothing short of a foot
ball miracle can round the Blue into
form which will justify its being given
an even chance against either Prince
ton or Harvard?
There was nothing unexpected or
spectacular about the victories OF
Princeton and Cornell over Williams
and Virginia Poly. respectively.
Cornell's Strength
In sharp contrast to Cornelfs vic
tory was the defeat of Pennsylvania
by Lafayette. The latter team already
vanquished by Washington and Jeffer-
son and h~ Princeton took advantage
of the Quaker's- errors Of Judgment
and plays won deserved, if rather
unexpected victory. Pennsylvania
fumbled frequently and used wretch
ed generalship at critical stages. The
Quakers. like Yale, appear to have
much latent strength, but to lack skill
and strategy.
Neither the Army nor the Navy
showed to advantage. both losing by
the small margin of two or three
points.
In the other important games of
Saturday, the teams played true to
mid-season form.
