Percy Haughton, Harvard football
coach, who has become part owner
of the Boston Braves and will be
president, will need to change some
of his ideas, also his manners, to get
along well as baseball magnate.
Haughton ruled like car in Har-
ward football affairs and was up
stage" in his treatment of outsiders.
In baseball he will find there are 9TH
ers who have something to say about
the conduct of affairs, also that he
will be largely dependent upon out
siders, especially newspaper men, for
the success of his business.

numbers on football players to give
spectators a chance to know who
was who on the field
1t was said that when the Harvard
coach was told the public demanded
that players be numbered he re-
marked that he didn't give a rap for
the public
Haughton could get away with
that n't-give-a-rap business in col
lege football, but he will have to pay
little attention to the public if he
expects to make go of it in base
ball.
Newspaper men have found
Haughton hard to approach. 1t is
even said of him that many times he
even refused to talk with Boston
sport writer's, saying that if he talked
with one he would have to talk with
all of them and surely that would be
a bore.
Men who were in baseball long be-
fore Haughton have found that the
game wouldn't have a chance in the
world to live without the free public

at least civil in the treatment of
newspaper writer's.

ALLIES WORRIED
AT THE ACTIVITY
OFENEM|ES'SUBS

London, Jan. 8, 1919 p. m.-De-
layed THE continuance of subma-
rine activity in the Mediterranean
which was emphasized today by the
news Of sinking of the valuable British
steamer Glengyle, with the loss Of 10
lives, has produced a profound impress
sion in all the entente capitals. There
is an insistent demand from the pub
lie for vigorous measures against the
underseas commerce raiders. but the
problem is no easy one for the Anglo
French naval staff.
The Anglo-French press expresses
the opinion that some sort of policing
of several sections of the intricate
Mediterranean coasts and archiepela-
goes is necessary. Presumably the oc-
cupation recently by entente forces of
the island of Castelorizo, off the south
coast of Asia Minor, was one step in
the scheme to provide more thorough
control of the regions where subma-
Irine bases are supposed to exist.
Expecting Serious Clash.
The opinion is expressed here that
the central powers are likely to plead
as justification for the reported fail
ure to give warning to Mediterranean
liners, that the boats frequently have
carried a heavy gun for defensive pur-
poses. There seems to be a general
impression in the entente capitals that
the loss of American life as result
of the British ship Persia must lneVi-
tably result in a serious clash between
the central allies and the United
States.

ment
"The president and the secretary of

In the absence of detailed informa-
ton on which to base the next step,
President Wilson cancelled the cabi-
net meeting, which was to have been
held today. but conferred with Chair
man Stone and some members of the
senate foreign relations committee.
Chairman Stone told the president
there were limitations some senators
we're preparing to speak on the sink
ing of ships with loss of American
life. The president is understood to
have replied that the administration
was doing all it could to protect
American rights.
Depend on Penfield Report.
The administration is depending
largely on the inquiries which Am
bassador Penfield has been instructed
to make at Vienna and that which con-
suls are gathering elsewhere, TO estab-
lish the nationality of the submarine
which is said to have sunk the Persia
Senator Stone told the president that
when the foreign relations committee
met tomorrow he wanted to be pre-
pared to meet any situation that might
arise. The senator said after his talk
with the president that until the facts
regarding the Persia were obtained
nothing could be done Any nation,
he declared, which outraged the United
States should be dealt with severely.

Petrograd Tells of Continued

Forces Before Drive.
COUNTER ATTACK FAILS
Germans Attempt to Relieve
Pressure by Charge, but
Without Result.

Petrograd, Jan. 8, p. m. (via Lon
don, $40 p. m.-Delayed. by hold
ing the Teutonic forces on the line
Of the Vladimir Volynskyi, on the Ga
lician frontier, while fortifying and
pressing forward at some points, the
Russians have checked the German
attempt to advance from the direc-
ton of Kolki and improve their posi-
ton along the Kovelry eastward to-
wards Sarny. North of Czartorysk
the Russians drove the Germans back
and occupied Khraisi. The very fact
that the Russians are advancing along
the Kovel-Rovno railway is held by
military men to be Of great impor-
lance, since it indicates concentra-
ton with view of taking Kovel, an
important point Of communication be-
tween the German and Austrian front.
In order to relieve the pressure on
the Kovel-Sarny line, the Teutons
counter attacked southwest of Kolki,
but without result, it is announced
here.
Driven Back Is Miles.
On the Galician front, it is stated
in reports received in Petrograd, be-
tween the rivers Sereth and Strypa,
before which the Russian troops had
taken up positions, the Russians ap-
parently have commenced an offensive
and advanced as far as the left bank
Of the Strypa between Buczacz and
Sokolow The region on the left bank
Of the Styr is still held against ser
ious attempts Of the Austrians to adj
vance. The greatest activity appears
now along the Strypa on both sides
of Buczacz. Here the Russians have
driven the opposing forces back from
Is to II miles from their positions.
1t is stated the Russians continue to
hold and to fortify the newly &C
quired territory, although the battle
is still progressing.
900 Germans Taken.
The capture of the heights north Of
Czernowitz, where nearly 900 prts-
oners were taken, is held by military
experts here to be Of special impor-
lance. They predict that it probably
will result in forcing the evacuation
Of Czernowitz by the Teutonic allies,
giving the Russians strong foothold
in the center of Bukowina and control
of the railways into Rumania.
Austrians Forced Back.
The Russky Invalide prints the fol-
lowing regarding the situation:
1.-THE Russian offensive on the long
front of 225 miles from Czartorysk to
the Rumanian frontier started when
our troops crossed to the left bank of
the Styr, taking Khriask, at the foot
of the Meddeezhski heights. The Aus
TRANS are making every effort to re-
take these heights, which command
the Styr. North of Olika and at Sill
no our troops advanced and fortified
the occupied region of Uscieczko, 10
miles north Of Zaleszczky, and forced
the Austrians to the right bank of
the Dniester"

terview with Premier Asquith yester-
day. The premier did his utmost to
induce Sir John to remain in the

almost certain that the home secre-
tary's resignation will be officially an
