HARVARD LOOKS
FOR A VICTORY

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-In spite OF
the fact that it is generally recog
nized that Princeton should be given
little consideration when pftted
against Harvard, there are those in
New York today who figure the Tig-
ers will give the Crimson an awful
tussle before they consent to take
the count.
The development of another field
goal kicker in Funk, giving Dave Tob-
bott helper and the addition OF this
fast man to the back field, has done
about as much as anything else to
boost the stock of Princeton. And, in
addition, the Princeton line, which
had shown a we'll developed. case Of
ooh we'll" has come out Of it and Is
playing bang-up football in practice.
Fumbling. which has married Prince
tons work right along. has gradually
been reduced to a minimum. II there
can be a feeling of optimism on the
verge Of clash with one of Percy
Haughton's teams, Princeton surely
has found some of It.
At New Haven no one has been able
to reduce bit the cock feeling that
Browns huskies are due to go the
way of their predecessors of this
year when they meet Yale Saturday
in the Yale bowl.
Browns strength, always present,
holds no fears for the Blue this year
since Colgate was beaten. Harvard re-
fuses to get worried. Supreme conf
dence in Percy Haughton has made
Cam bridge almost solid as a unit In
believing he will drive the Crimson
to another win over Old Nassau. Bond,
Flower, Casey and Herween, star
back field men, are working daily
and are in fine condition. Harvard
can see no reason for q defeat by
Princeton.

ARE TAKING
UP SPANISH
VIII be Most Important Language
Commercially, Greater Iowa As
ISOLATION Believes.

The coming generation Of Iowans is
going to be in a position to sell Iowa
live stock and manufactured goods to
the Spanish-speaking peoples Of
South and Central America.
According to the information sent
out by the Greater Iowa association,
the publicity In connection with South
America and probable development Of
great market in Argentina for
Iowa livestock has created state
wide interest. This is proven beyond
doubt by the number of students at
the Iowa State university who have
chosen Spanish as the most important
foreign language, and who have
joined the Spanish class at the uni
versity. Spanish has been a selected
study at the State university for a
good many years. but in 1910 only
| twenty-s1x students took the Spanish
course. This number increased grad
ually until last year III students toook
Spanish.
This year, however, due to the op,
portunities in extending livestock
markets and markets for manufac.
tured goods, as has been outlined by
the Greater Iowa association on sew
eral occasions. the Spanish class at
the Iowa State university has in
creased to 2S5 students. Reports re-
ceived by the association from other
educational institutions in Iowa indi,
cate that the increased interest in
| the Spanish language is general all
over the state.
What is true in Iowa is true all
| over the United States. Our people
have never seemed to realize the po
sition which this country occupies in
| the international field OF commerce
| The Monroe doctrine and the Pan
American union has bound together
the twenty-one republics OF the west
! ern hemisphere Annual conferences
have been held for the last ten years
attended by delegates from all TWEEN
ty-one of these republics of the west
ern hemisphere. Of all Of those coun
tries, the United States is the only
one that speaks English. The other
twenty speak Spanish-and in Brazil
Portuguese is spoken considerably.
| We have been teaching German and
French in our schools, some Latin
and some Greek. We seem to have
forgotten the language Of our next
door neighbors, but the young men
and young women OF Iowa today are
! looking forward to the future. When II
becomes necessary to send represen.
tatives into South or Central America
to find new markets for Iowa's prod
ucts, we will be able to get those rep
resentatives right here at home-sons
and daughters of Iowa-who are
learning to speak the Spanish langu
age which, according to all present
indications, will be the most import
ant language, commercially, to the
United States during the next hall
century.

Sivas, on the road between constan- tinopIe and Erzerum, were sub jected.. One will search the an- nais of history in vain to find a parallel for some of the cruel de vices which the Turks employed in attempting to break the spirit of their Christian subjects. if the W orld's correspondent is to be be- lieved. In one case, victim was shod precisely in the same manner as a horse. In another, an Armen- ion was done to death by red-hot crown of iron pressed upon his had. In still another, the head man of a village was hanged head downward. At another place twen- ty Armenian officials were hacked to pieces with spiked hatchets. The tortures inflicted on the women are too inhuman to repeat.
 The soul sickens in contemplation of these frightfuI tragedies. sure ly the government which is respons- ibue for them deserves little con siderationat the hands of civilized society.
