WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF WAR is DECLARED?
United States Would Lend
Moral and Financial Aid.

| Should the worst come of the present
crisis I'm the relations between the
United States and Germany and the
| two countries declared war upon each
other what part would this country
play?
This is question that has been
asked many times, and the answer is
( Elusive.
1 Would the United States army be
sent to the trenches in Flanders and
around Verdun?
Would the United States navy be
sent to aid the allied squadron in pa
| trolling the North sea and assist in
making the blockade of Germany COM
plete?
Would a call be issued for volunteers
in this country and the recruits sent
abroad to begin training for service?
All of these results are possible, but
none are probable. 1t is most likely
that the United States, if actually
drawn into the war, would play part
n great deal similar to that of Japan
today. Japan and Germany are at
war. But the only part that Japan has
played is to send munitions to Russia,
with maybe a few officers to direct the
movements of the hosts of Russian
troops. True, she has given her com
plete moral and financial support to
the allies.
The same course would probably be
pursued by the United States. In the
event of actual warfare this govern
ment would lend its undivided moral.
commercial, Industrial and financial
support to the entente allies, but it is
doubtful if Americans would actually
participate in the world war.
Our rapidly growing steel and mu-
milton factories would be put to work
overtime in the efforts to turn out as
many shells as possible. The German
liners now interned in various Amer
lean ports would be seized by the gov
eminent and put into service carrying
all kinds of supplies to the allies.
The bankers of the United States
would stand solidly behind the allies
and lend all possible financial aid, and
Gliding features of the war. 1t has Of
ten been said that the side with the
most money would be the ultimate vic
tor, and with the United States on the
side of England, France, Russia and
Italy there is no doubt that the flnan-
cial tide would be turned against the
Teutonic powers.

 Kohoma Kid, the crack New York lightweight, who has fought such boys as Bobby Reynolds, Tommy Houck, Dave Medar, Newark Patsey Kline, Johnny Drummie, Banty Lewis. Eddie Wallace and a number of other good boys, will come to this city in search for bouts and will make this his home. His parents have sent for him and have induced him to stay here. Immediately after his bout, Friday with Willie Jones at the Van derbi1t A. c. at Brooklyn, he will start for this town. Kohoma Kid is a rugged and durable slugger and is always on top of his opponent and is great body puncher. He is sure to create a sensation with the fight fans of this vicinity. His manager is confi- dent that New Britain will have in him a real contender for the lightweight title.

: New Haven, Jan. 26.-YaIe defeat ed Princeton 19 to Is last night at basket ball, scoring it's second victory by a single point within week, and tieing for first place in the Intecol- legiate leageu race with Pennsylvania. Princeton led Yale twice during the first half, which closed with the score II all.
 Although the Tigers did not regain their lead during the second half, they tied the score with only two minutes 10 play, and Kinney's basket from the foul line in the last moment of play yielded Yale the winning point. In the last inning of the game Haas of Princeton missed a zeal from a foul. Kinney's II points, garnered from free throws following fouls kept Yale in the running. In the first half hls throwing netted Yale points from six tiles. He missed two out of eight shots in the second half. Haas, the visiting foul goal tosser. threw safe 1y one of three tries in the first half and one Of two during the second per iod. WeiDer and Foster starred for the rival lives in basket throwing from scrimmage. Captains Charley Taft and McTigue tossed the longest and most spectacular goals of the game.

Larry Doyle.

For a while it seemed as if Larry Doyle, the Beaming Harp, would go the same way. Doyle, a natural hit ter, suddenly fell below .270, and stuck there for two years. But part of this was due to an automobile ac- cident. Last season Doyle proved that you can't keep 3, natural hitter down by regaining his ancient stuff and leading the league.
 It will be interesting to see what Chief Meyers does in this respect for 1S16. McGraw said three years ago that his Indian catcher was one of the finest natural hitters he ever saw. Last seasan the Chief gave vent to Bn unseemly slump and came down like ton of steel tossed off a noun tain. But one seasons slump doesn't mean an eternal disfranchisement Meyers has felt his batting slump keenly and is making extra efforts even this far in advance to get going early With the war club. If batting history is to be repeated, 1916 will find Meyers back in polite batting society again. If he fails, he will be one of the very few linked to the art of hitting a baseball who lost the knack.

HARVARD FOOTBALL NIGHT

HauSnuOn 'lnankS students for Loyalty
 and Hopes to Return in Fall to
 Coach Eleven
 Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 25.-Afte1 waiting two months the undergradu- ate body at Harvard turned out full force last night at the Harvard Union to celebrate their football victories over the Princeton and Yale elevens. The assembly room was thronged to overflowing and for three hours the boys sang their songs and gave their cheers. The players and Varsity coaches all attended.
 Captain Ned Mahan reviewed tho season, while Captain Gilman spoke with enthusiasm over the out look for next fall.
 Percy Haughton, the head coach, thanked the students for the loyalty they had shown; all season, and said that he hoped he would be able to help with the coaching next fall, even if his Boston baseball cuub would prevent him from taking complete charge. The football committee here, however, is still certain that it will be able to retain Haughton.
 For nearly two hours Assistant Coach Reggie Brown entertained the undergraduates with moving pictures of last years game, and with his 1ec- ture on the scores of interesting ster cpticon slides he gathered during the season. The coaches and players who spoke all emphasized the fact that Harva I'd would lose many foot ball players by graduation next June, and that more material would be needed if the Crimson's success on the gridiron is to continue.
