Washington, Dec. ga paper by
Theodore Roosevelt on Social Values
and National Existence" furnished a
theme for an animated discussion to-
day before the American Sociological
Society, in annual session here. It was
read by Prof. Edward Ross, of the
University of Wisconsin. president of
the society.
Infinitely the most important fact
to remember in connection with the
war and militarism in relation to moral
and social values" wrote Mr.. Roose-
welt, "is that If a warlike and mill
taristic nation Is not held In check by
the warlike ability of neighboring
non-miiitaristic and Well behaved ma
ton, then the latter will be spared the
necessity of dealing with moral and
social values because it won't be al
loved to aea! with anything. It seems
to me positively comic to fail to ap-
preciate. with the example Of Belgium
before our eyes, that the real ques-
ton which modern peace-loving ma
tions have to face Is not how the war
like spirit within their own borders will
affect these values but how failure
on their part to resist the militarism
Of a neighbor viii affect Them"
Right or Wrong Depends.
Discussing mental confusion of the
average citizen who thinks war in it
self is wrong, Mr.. Roosevelt wrote that
war could be defined as the use of force
between nations, and the question Of
whether it was right or wrong de-
pended solely on the spirit for which
and in which It waged.
Speakers discussing the paper In
lcluded DR.. John M. Mex OF the Anieri-
can Peace Society: MIG. Mabel BuAryi-
man, Of the American Red Cross
Society; Prof. e. G. Hayes, Of the
University Of Illinois. and Prof. ]. @.
Dealey, Of Brown University.
Roosevelt View Attacked.
After the paper by Colonel Roose-
welt advocating a policy Of national
defense/had been read, several Of the
delegates criticized the coloneps paper
as fallacious.
The society is one of many scientific
meetings held here at the same time as
the Pan-American Congress. It has
devoted its sessions largely to the
economic effect of the war;
Prof. John Mez, Of the. American
Peace Society, attacked the coloners
argument.
There is a fallacy in Colonel Roose-
velt's theory" he said, (which is COM
mon to all militarlsts, and those who
think it necessary to maintain arma- :
ments for peace purposes. The fact
that Belgium, Poland and other coun-
tries have suffered is no argument for
the increase Of instruments which have
caused that suffering"
Professor Hays, of Illinois, said he
agreed with the colonel to certain
point.
"The citations from history have
overlooked the effect of change. All
great steps in advance have been
called impracticable until the time OF
accomplishment"

at Yale, Shevlin had always stood
ready to come to the aid of his alma
mater as football adviser and coach.
Last fall he struggled hard to whip the
Yale aggregation into shape to meet
Harvard and the subsequent over
whelming defeat preyed on his mind.
During training he lost twelve pounds.
The rest In California did him good
but because Of business matters at
home he cut short his vacation and
came home still In a somewhat weak
ened condition.
Probably no more sensational ath-
lete every played on Yale teams than
Thomas Lee Shevlin. He was an all
round star in athletics. being identified
with virtually every branch Of sport.
However, his greatest fame came from
prowess on the gridlron. For four
years he was accorded the honor Of
being picked for All-American end.
Shevlin played on the Yale team for
four seasons, beginning with 1902. AS
senior he captained the eleven. Dur
ing his career Yale defeated Harvard
four times and Princeton three times.
On the Yale track team Shevlin also
started. He played on the baseball
team in his freshman year.
After his graduation Shevlin was
held responsible for two victories of
his school on the gridiron Twice he
came from the northwest to aid the
Ellis to victory.
