Today's game did not measure up
to the crowd, At best II was only
ordinary, and in some places It was
weird. The great crowd really did
not turn itself loose until the game
was over, Thousands then flooded
down on the diamond in the wake OF
a band which loudly footed "Tessie, !"
and after marching around the field
massed In front OF the players bench

LLOYO-GEORGE N
ANSWER TO CRITICS

London. Oct. 12.--Lloyd-George's
crushing rejoinder to. Richard Holt,
one Of his critics. in the house of com
mons yesterday received equal atten-
tion from the newspapers today with
Premier Asquith's statement that
there must be no 'precarious and
dishonoring compromise made under
the name OF peace"
Holt criticized the war secretary's
recent statement on peace to the
United Press. He complained that
Lloyd-George used sporting terms,
like the now famous Knockout" Civ
ing the impression that his statements
were compromising. and that the wal
minister was not the proper person
to express the governments attitude
on foreign policies.
Turning directly toward Holt
Lloyd George said:
What you really object to is not
really the manner. but the pith and
purport Of this interview"
Lloyd-George added that he was
simply celebrating what the British
and French prime ministers had said
and what the cabinet and military ad-
visers believed. He spoke with i'm
pressive emphasis when he said he
wished he were at liberty to tell the
honorable member how timely the
interview was on its appearance"
The London papers particularly
emphasize Lloyd Georges declaration
that the interview was timely and es-
sential, and not merely personal ex.
preston. but the opinion Of the cab.
met and war committee and also OF
England's allies.
Between these words" said the
Daily Telegraph. referring to the ref
erence to the timeliness OF the inter
view. "even the dullest Imagination
can read, Plainly the interview was
expressly timed to kill an intended
attempt at Intervention. and II sue.
ceeded-there's no need to say
where"
The general impression was today
that in making this quick retort to his
critics Lloyd-Georse effectively
scotched hostile clique which,
though small. Is somewhat mischie-
vcus. At the same time he thoroughly
justified the propriety Of cabinet min
listers giving interviews when the oc-
casion demands. Lloyd-G Georges
Rooseveltian epigram that an inter
view is "a public report Of a private
conversation" was considered espe-
cially happy.

before he was declared incapable Of
ruling on November 5. 1913. and was
succeeded by his cousin, King Lud-
wig III. He had nominally succeeded
his brother. King Ludwig II, in 1886.
when Ludwig committed suicide BY
throwing himself into lake during
a fit OF insanity. His, uncle. the re-
gent, -Luitpold. was, however, the real
ruler Of Bavaria. During the Franco
Prussian war, Otto first showed symp-
toms OF insanity when he called out
a squad Of cavalry to charge straight

he was summoned BY the emperor to

king" was imprisoned in the Fuer-
stenried castle. Though in the midst
of rich furnishings. he is reported to
have lived like savage. refusing to
have his hair or nails cut, and avoid
ing water and soap. For days ne
would refuse food, imagining 1t to be
poisoned. His attendants finally per-
suaded him to eat by pretending to
hide food about the palace. The mad
king then ''discovered'' the food.
and, believing II had been hidden by
the servants to satisfy their own ap-

He was passionately fond Of grand
opera. summoned well known singers
to his castle prison. and often spent
days listening to operas. On April
27 Of each year Otto was examined
by government commission, charged
with the duty OF reporting ON his
sanity. A few years ago he became
seriously Ill from q carbuncle on his
neck. and was believed to be dying.

HUGHES STEERS
CLEAR Of TRAP
SET BY ENEMIES

pikenyillc. n. j.. Oct ~, Repub-
lican Candidate Hughes Ia determined
not 10 make any answer TO the charge
that he represents the German
American vote. He regards himself
as potentially president. He holds
II his duty neither by word or deed
TO walk into any trap which shall
seem to commit him. man who may
be chosen In November to dictate
Americas position toward the world.
TO any specific course OF action with
regard TO European policies.
The United Press presents this ex-
planation OF Hughes attitude. by per-
mission. today.
When Hughes discusses and con-
demns the British blockade. II is not
with the idea OF any anlmus against
England. When he hits at tho sub
marine warfare and the Wilson ad-
mlnistration's handling OF that Issue,
he does not speak with a mind biased
against Germany. lie speaks ms one
who regards Americas opportunity,
ms the greatest OF neutral nations. the
most momentous TO America herself
and 60 the other nations OF the world.
In establishing Hrmly the principles OF
neutrality"
To those with whom he talked on
the subject Hughes has added to this
statement OF his position the follow
Ing.
America must leave no stone un-
turned to enforce against any nation
her rights as q world power. BY so
doing. the United States not only
maintains her own dignity as ma
tion, but she establishes more firmly
the principles OF justice contained In
international law. International law.
the governor holds. IN not hxed unit.
II Is u collection Of principles to which
nations subscribe Those principles
become nxed only when some great
nation establishes their justice and
fairness by demand. unfinchIngly
maintained, for their fullest obser-
vance. II tho United States can ac-
cept this fixation OF principles OF In
tcrnationai law by holding all nations
strictly accountable to the spirit OF
the now only nebulous principles OF
international law. America will have
her opportunity to become foremost
among the world powers"
The republican candidate, It Is said
for him. feels very strongly the de-
lIcacy OF his position as a presidential
candidate In this time when interna-
tional law Is In the making, He Is
extremely resentful Of any jockeying
by either his friends or his political
foes which attempts to align him with
either the central allies or the entente
powers. lie does not desire In any
utterance to mention the name OF q
single one OF the warning powers lest
some incorrect deduction be made
from that mention. But In every
speech from now on he expects to re-
iterate In emphatic language his dis
avowal that he has any understanding 4
or agreements or intrigues with any
body.

PRINCETON IN GREAT
 CONDITION TO MEET YALE.
Coach Rush Uncertain About Makeup
 of Backfield for 7oday's Game.

Princeton, N. J.. Nov. 11-Prince- tons preparation for the Yale game. which will be held ia the Palmer Me morial stadium tomorrow afternoon, was completed today with a signal drill that lasted a little over an hour. In order to perfect defense to meet tho attack of the Esrie backs, Coach Rush had the Princeton substitutes use the Yale defense formation on the varsity :'l a dummy scrimmage
 The varsity players all appear to be in the best of condition for the con- test.
 Coach Rush refused to give out an official lir cup tonight, claiming he did not know yet just what players he would use. The personnel of the Princeton eleven probably will not be known until the tea1ls line up for the kickoff. There is ar uncertainty con corning the makeup of both line and bacllficld. Eddy vii! be at quarter back, Moore at right halfback and Eddie, Driggs at fu!1back. The left .haifbaclS position will be filled either. by Ames, Phillips Brown or EIberstad Ames has been used in this position regularly this week and it looks now as if he would be the first choice of the coaches because of his ability in running back kicks and interference. Phillips and Brown are both coEsid- cred better ground gamers. If Ames does start the game it will leave the team without a man to back up the center of the jine on the defensive and Thomas may re used in Moore's place
 There is the same uncertainty about right tackle. Coach Rush has Latrobe McGraw and Halsey to select from McGraw started the Harvard contest and play&d a brilliant game, but was slightly injured. consequently the coaches may decide to use Latrobe or HaiSey.
 |: From present indications proba ble Princeton lineup would be: Highley, left end; Mclean. left tackle; Nourse, left guard: Gennert, center; Hogg, right guard; Latrohe, right tackle; Wilson, right end: Eddy, quarterback; Driggs, fullback: Thomas left half back; Ames, right halfback.
