LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Preparedness Feeds a Military Spirit

Preparedness Feeds a Military Spirit.
 MT. Editor: The question of pre- paredness has been presented to the people. Preparedness that we might the better protect ourselves against attack from a foreign nation. That nation by assumption, is one now en- gagged in warfare though it has been stated by some of those who claim to make it their business to investigate such matters in detail, that not one of the foreign powers, whichever should win out in the struggle, would be in condition to go into battle with a prosperous and fresh country for a good while to come. If such be the fact then the question forces itself up- on us why the necessity of prepared ness? Or, if an adequate and efficient complement of men and ships only, as formerly recommended by the presi- dent, why the greatest navy in the world" as demanded in one of his later speeches? What the American people want are rational reasons why from a reasonable addition to our navy flor defense" we should want the largest known? Every citizen has a right to his opinion, therefore he who favorS peace has a right to his. Would the largest navy in the world" insure us lasting peace? Did 1t for England? .? | All Europe has been prepared or in preparation for ages and today the greater kingdoms of Europe are a | bloody shambleS.
 The old theory that peace rests upon | fear, that nations would not make
 war on one another if each were ready | to take up arms has been proven a | fallacy. Wars in the European na- | tions have ever been recurring. There
 has been no guarantee of peace. With | q military power back of them mon | archs have provoked and engaged in
 war whenever the lust of aggrandize- | ment possessed them. Obsessed by a | military despotism they have plotted
 and declared war while their soldiery
 and subjects knew naught of the cause | but to go and kill their neighbors.
 No cause is really known for the pres | ent destruction of human life.

He was not here on his own choice, mind you. He would preferably have been at his offices in New Haven or New York. That is not saying that his being there would have prevented the wreck, but it is confirmation, in a measure, of what the Register said recently of he distraction of Mir.

The one hundred and thirty sixth

The one hundred and thirty sixth annual banquet of Phi Beta Kappa, Yale's honorary scholarship society and the oldest social organization in the university was held last Friday evening in the palm room of the Ho- tel Taft. Professor Chauncey B. Tinker, '99 presided as toastmaster and introduced the speakers, Pro- fessors F. T. Morris. re; Richard S Lull; John Ersl5ine of Columbia uni versity and Henry A. Perkins, acting president of Trinity college and Nor ris Hadley, of the class of 1916. Pro- lessor Tinker, as toastmaster spoke in his opening speech of the difficulties of the path which leads to Phi Kappa, and in an allegorical way analysed the vagaries of the candidate. Professor Morris delivered his speech in Latin. Professor Tinker then introduced Nor ris Hadley, 1916, undergraduate pres ident of the Yale chapter. He allud- ed to the new Phi Beta Kappa re- uuirements that are to go into eff feet next year and pointed out their worth, but also defended the present system. The other speakers of the evening commented upon the various phases of the Phi Beta Kappa stand ards in the activities of the business world.

In reference to the new course on the Housatonic river, Coach NiCkalls said: To my mind the Housatonic course offers tremendous possibilities. The chief advantage of 1t Is that the crews will be able to row in calm wa ter no matter how hard or in what di- rection the wind Is blowing. We have as yet not determined the depth of the course. It may be too shallow to per init rowing at low tide in which case the practicability of the course will be greatly diminished. This is the only objection to the Housatinoc and further investigations will be made immediately. In any event the first and second university and the first freshman crews will go up there after
 Easter to prepare for the Yale-P Prince
 ton-Cornell triangular regatta on Lake Cayuga, May 27. Of course no action concerning the moving of the Adee
 boat house to Derby will be taken this year. It will be a very expensive proposition and, to say the least, it is exceedingly doubtful whether 1t could be done at all. A temporary wood en structure will be erected for the use | of the crews in the spring, and special street car transportation will be ar | ranged for in order to make the trip
 to and from the new course as easily and quickly as possible. MT. Nickalls
 was very much pleased to learn that i M. A. Abbott and c. D. Winan have been secured to assist him in the l coaching this year since both of the | assistants are personal friends of

The new United Workers Boys club

ne new OhIIsu VVoTkeTs boys cIuo on Jefferson street celebrated a gen eral public hOuse-warming to over two hundred guests on last Monday even- ing. The main feature of the pro- gramme was an address by Professor William H. Taft, who dwelt on the opportunity afforded to the club mem bers for acquiring the training that will enable them to develop themselves for the service of the community. He cited the fact that rarely were boys who were among the ranks of the boys clubs brought before a judge for prosecution. Ten nations were repre- sentcd at Monday evenings celebra- tion and Professor Taft expressed himself as being favorably impressed by this fact.

At the annual meeting of the foot ball rules committee, held at the Ho- tel Biltmore in New York last Satur- day, no radical changes were made in the present football rules, in as much as the code as it is has worked out during the last few years has given general satisfaction. Yale was repre- scented at the meeting by John R. Kill patrick and c. w. Darlington. AL though it had been anticipated that the committee would make O definite rule in regard to the numbering of players, after a lengthy discussion the measure was put to an informal vote and was defeated to 5. Yale voted in the negative. It was admitted by the committee that the numbering Ct the players would be an aid to the spectators of the game, but it was all so maintained that such a course would create difficulty for both play CTS and coaches by making it too easy for the opposing players to identify each other

Guy NfcuaIIs, coach of the university

Guy NicV<als, coach of the university crew, arrived from England Satur- day on the steamship Nieuw Amster- dam after having been abroad for over three months. Upon his aSEval in New Haven he took charge of the coaching at once. spending several
 hours with both the university and freshman squads which have been
 practicing for over a week. As re- gards the 1916 crew and its prospects Coach Nickalls said that the squad contains a wealth of excellent material and that there was no reason why an-
 other championship crew could not
 be turned out. It is true that seven members of the Harvard crew which rowed against Yale at New London last June are rowing in the first boat
 again this year, while four members of Yale's championship eight have been lost by graduation. nevertheless the squad on the whole looks like one | from which a winning crew can be de- l velOped. The chances are that it will be possible to get out onto the harbOr | within week. It is hoped that the ice will be broken very soon so that
 the crews will be able to start real | practice as soon as possible.

The column for repairs and replacements totals $11, ,T067S, of which about S3,GCO was spent in replacing broken dishes; it took $500 to straighten out the dents in the silverware and to repair the silver pitchers, while nearly S2.O00 was consumed by table linen: two seamstresses are constantly employed in mending the table cloths and three women are employed in the work of the laundry.

ST. PAUL, July 19.-The nomina- ton of Frank Hanley as presidential nominee was predicted by the Prohi- bitionists today by friends of Hanley and leaders of the so-called organi- zation forces in the Prohibition na- tional convention following the unani- nous reelection late today ots Virgil G. Hinshaw, Chicago, to the chair manship of the national committee.
 Further impetus was said to be giv- en the Hanley candidacy by the se- lection of Robert H. Patton of Spring field, Illinois, as permanent chairman. Howard Kerchner, Topeka, Kansas, was named permanent secretary.
 When the convention adjourned to- night a conference of convection off cers was held for the purpose of ar ranging a program to be followed un- til final adjournment.
 Hanley followers succeeded at the afternoon session in obtaining the adoption of a recommendation of the rules committee providing for the nomination of a presidential candidate
