New York, Dec. 30.-The passing Of
Thomas Lee Shevln adds another name
to the list Of famous Yale football line
men who have. died in recent years when

their ''Y'' in play since 1909 have died
within the past decade in T. Gordon
Brown. Stiimar. James J. Hogan ana
Shevlin, all leaving football records that
few gridiron stars since the beginning OF
intercollegiate play have equalied and
none can sCrrass.
This quartet OF giant lneEen played
game after game without injury during
graduate lives. making the mythical ALI
American eleven with an ease and gu
larity which left no doubt rs to Their
football ability. Brown and Hogan were
selected for four consecutive seasons al

end position three out of his four col

Paris. Dec. 30.-There are 5oe,oc0 beds in
the military and auxiliary hospitals in
France The cost of their maintenance

SPECULATIONS
ON PEACE TERMS
IN SWISS PAPER

Berlin. Dec. 30.-In an editorial dis
cussing the article recently printed by
the Neue Zuericher Zeitung of Zurich,
Switzerland, purporting to give the
terms upon which Germany is ready
to consider peace, the Nord Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung says:
In the foreign press there is an
observable inclination to use the ar
ticle of the Neue Zuericher Aeltung
printed Tuesday as the ground FOR
speculations over peace and war aims.
In order to prevent in advance any
misleading of German public opinion
we again point out that the article con-
taius solely private reflections ana
therefore cannot serve as starting
point for an earnest discussion Of the
views of leading circles.

DETENTION CAMP
 GERMAN SOLDIERS
Navy Department will Prevent More Interned Germans from Escap-
 ing From United States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-It is an- nounced that the Navy department is considering the plan of placing five hundred German sailors, the crews of the interned German warships, in detention camps at Norfolk owing to nine of the German officers having broken their paroles and escaped from the country.
 The escape of the German officers has been investigated and shows that regulations requiring them to report had relaxed and that they had often failed to appear in person. It is claimed that many of the sailors will also be found to have escaped should the order placing them in detention camps be issued.
