FIRST PRESIDENT
 OF CORNELL

Dr. Andrew Dickson White, first president of Cornell university and former ambassador to Germany and minister to Russia, was born S4 years ago to-day in Honor, N. Y. The "Grand Old Man of Ithaca" was presi- dent of the American delegation to the first Hague Conference, and has long been an ardent advocate of peace and arbitration, but in his public ut terances since the outbreak of the European war he has sided with those who advocate greater preparedness on the part of the United States.
 'T would have a nation of men who are peaceable," he told Cornell stu dents, "but who are ready for war. we must be in a position so that we can have peace even if we have to fight for it."
 Dr. White graduated from Yale with the class of '53, with the Yale literary and De Forest gold medals and an A. B. diploma clutched tightly in his hands. He then travelled in Europe for a time, taking post-grad- uate studies at the Sorbonne and the College de France in Paris and the University of Berlin. He made use of this accumulated lore to return to dear old Yale and take an A. M. de- gree and the first Clark prize. Other aspirants to scholastic honors at Yale were delighted when young Andy White went away from there to be- come professor of history and Eng fish literature at the University of Michigan, which celebrated his addi- tion to the faculty by conferring a IL. D. degree on him. In after years Dr. White added largely to his col lection of degrees and honors, Oxford, St. Andrews and Jena being among the European universities which hon. ored themselves by honoring the able American educator.
 pr. White returned to his native state in the early '60s and was elected to the New York Senate. It will be just half a century next year since he was accorded the greatest honor of his long and honorable career-the post of first president of Cornell uni versity. Dr. White took charge of the infant university in 1867 and directed its destinies until 1885, during which period the Ithaca institution gained a place in the front rank of America's educational and athletic bodies. pr. White personally contributed $3GJ,- GOO to the university, and in 1887 he founded the school of history and political science bearing his name, giving it his library of 10,000 volumes. Dozens of weighty tonnes bear the name of pr. White as author, but his masterpiece is the monumental His tory of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom," which has been translated into several European languages, and which is among those works which are mot for day, but for all time.''

PRESIDENT FOR
 MERIT SYSTEM
 INP0ST OFFICES
Gives "Hearty Approval" to Extension of Classified
 Civil Service List.

New York, Nov. I'm letter re- ceived by the National Civil Service Reform League to-day, President Will son gives his hearty approval to an extension of the merit system to in- clude Presidential postmasters
 Both Presidential candidates have now gone on record in favor of legis- lation which would permit the exten- sion of the classified civil service to include postmasters of the first, sec ond and third class.
 The Presidents letter follows:
 My Dear Sir-In reply to your let ter of September 26, I wish to state that the Postmaster General, in his annual report for the fiscal year end- ed June 30, 1914, recommended to Congress the enactment of legisla- tion which would permit of the exten- sion of the classified civil service so as to include the position of post master at office of the third class.
 The following year he not only re- neWed this recommendation, but ask ed that the position of postmaster at offices of the second class be included as we'll, but no action has ever been taken by Congress on these recom- mendations. In his annual report for the fiscal year just ended he will not only renew his recommendation for the Legislation mentioned, but will ask that it be extended to offices of the first class as well.
 'I am thoroughly in accord with the recommendations of the Postmas- ter General, and they have my hearty approval You understand, however, that the classification of the position does not classify the incumbent and the person holding the position at the time it is classified will be subject to the same competitive test as others who may apply.
 When these positions are classified the Postmaster General will be able to fill many of them by promotion from the clerical grades. Also by the pro- motion of postmaster who have de- monstrated their ability from a small CT office to one of greater importance
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON"

COOLING PROCESS FORPAS1EURIzED
 MILK IMPROVED
Rapid Cooling Is Essential tokilling Off All
 5t>"f7a. Bacter1a.

washington, D. C., Nov. 7.-To bring about economically the relative 1y rapid cooling of hot-bottled pas ,teurized milk, which is essential after pasteurization if freedom from bac-S teria is to be preserved, dairy special ists of the U. S. Department of Agri- culture suggest the forcing of out side air over crates of hot, milk filled bottles during the cooler months of the year, and artificially cooled air during the summer months. Even during seasons when the outside tenn perature is as high as 60 degree or 70 degree F., it is believed that those plants that pastenrize on lar ge scale would find it worth while to give the hot milk it's initial reduction of tenn .perature by forcing outside air over the bottles. Artificial refrigeration may then be used to bring the tenn perature of the milk down to the de- sired 45 degrees or 50 degrees F. for holding.
 The experiments in the cooling of pasteurized milk conducted by the specialists demonstrated that in using the air-blast system more satisfactory
 
 air is forced from the top of stacked crates downward. When the air was forced upward through the crates, or alternately upward and downward the bottles did not cool uniformly. With the circulation of air forced downward at 40 degrees F., the milk, with an initial temperature of 142 de- grees F., was brought. to j50 degrees F. in 1 hour and 27 minutes, approXi- mately one-third the time required when the bottles were exposed to still air at 40 degrees F.
 / Bacterial counts under different conditions showed that it is desirable to cool the milk after pasteurization within hours at most. In order that there shall be g. safe margin, the dairy specialists of the department recommend that the necessary reduc- tion in temperature be effected in 3 hours Immediate refrigeration show ed no advantage compared with cool ing over a longer period, while the latter method proved to be less cost ly. The time required to cool milk to any great extent by natural circul- ation, the experimenters conclude, is too great for satisfactory operation on a commercial scale. Even with fore ca d1r cHCCIlV6 COOIIS CdIIlOL Uo dC- complished when containers holding more than a quart are used. In the experiments no appreciable difference in the cream line was found between the bottles cooled slowly and those cooled immediately, nor did the cool ing at the slower rate noticeab1y af- feet the flavor of the milk.
 Experiments were conducted also to determine the practicability of pas teurizing milk in bottles by passing blasts of hot air over them. On ac- count of the uneven heating of pint and quart bottles in similar positions and also the sized bottles in diff ferent positions in the stacks, this method did not prove successful.
 The various experiments with cold and hot-air blasts directed against bottled milk are described in pro- < fessional paper, Department Bulletin APO, recently issued by the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture.

A downtown citizen complains of the unfaithfulness of the street lamp lighter, and says that part of the city in which he resides was left in dark ness last night until after g o'clock. A day or two since, through want of attention to his duties, he says the lamp in front of the postoff1ce was left burning until 10 o'clock in the fore noon. In this business there appears to be screw loose somewhere.

RECORD OF PRINCETON
 HARVARD ELEVENS

The college gridiron feature of this week will be Saturdays clash between those ancient rivals, Princeton and Harvard, at Cambridge. The sons of John Harvard and of Old Nassau first clashed at football in TT, when two games were played, the Crimson ban ner Haunting in victory after the first battle, while the second was g. tri- umph for the Orange and Black.
 Up to 1912 the Tigers found liar ward easy, and the record of games played stood 12 victories for Prince ton to for Harvard, with one tie. Since then Harvard has taken every game, and now has seven victories to it's credit, against Princeton's dozen. It was not until 1913, when Captain Storer's outfit won at Tigertown through field goal by Brickley, that Harvard enjoyed the sensation of hurhbling the Striped Cats' on their own grounds.
 There have been several breaks in the athletic relations of Harvard and Princeton, but the most serious fol- lowed the gridiron contest of 1896, when Harvard objected to the pres ence on the Nassau eleven of Galley and Baird, asserting that they were ineligible. The fuss over this mat ter aroused such deep-seated enmity that the two universities refused to play with each other again until 1911, when the breach was healed. The Tigers took the 1911 game, to 6, but after that history stopped re- beating itself, and Old Nassau has been humbled four successive. times.
 A classic among the intersectional football games is the Cornell -Michi- gan argument, which is scheduled for next Saturday. The Ithacans first met the Ann Arbor bunch in 1889. West erners would just as soon that this game be forgotten, for the effete Fasteners wiped up the field with the Wolverine lads, defeating Michi- gan by a score of 66 to nothing. Michigan returned to the fray the next year and escaped with a 20 to beating. In '91 the Wolverines again made a miserable showing, Cornell winning 5S to 12, and, in second game that year, 10 to 0. In 1892 two games were played, Cornell having the heavy end of 44-0 and SOHO scores. There was no game in '93, but in '94 there were two. Cornell took the first, 22 to o, but in the sec ond Michigan won by score of 12 to 4. The whole state of Michigan went wild with joy. That was the end of the first football series between Cornell and Michigan, and they were not again pitted against each other until 1911. Cornell won that year 6 to o, but Michigan turned the tables in 1912. 20 to 7. The Wolverines re- peated in 1913, IT to 0. Cornell on the 1914 and 1915 games, 2313 and 34-7.

The Pacific Mail house flag will
again be seen In the transpacific trade
the latter part Of July, when their new
steamer, the Ecuador, will leave San
Francisco for the Orient via Honolulu,
according to r. c. Morton. who was
on the Tcnyo Maru this morning on
the way to China. where he will be
general agent for China and Manila,
with headquarters at Hongkong w.

The Ecuador will leave New York
tomorrow morning for San Francisco, (
said Morton. and as soon as she
reaches the latter port and can
loaded she will start her run to the
Orient This will probably be about
the middle or latter part of July. In

To Build More Ships.
Already continued Morton, the.

They will be of $4,000 tons and the

hope to have them running by the end.
Of next year. These vessels will be.
Of great benefit to Honolulu as they
viii be American built and can carry
and freight between San
Francisco and Honolulu. The Ecna-
dor Columbia and Venezuela, being.
foreign built. will be unable to do this.
although under the American flag.
The three steamers will be run
jointly with the r. K. X. steamers,
each company sending out vessel
from San Francisco at alternate
dates. ("
All Are on Burners.
Morton explained that as the three.
steamers are oil burners they can
carry enough fuel to make the round
