II was learned from an authentic
source yesterday that the De Witt Clin-
ton protest following the game W
the Red and Black n Morris football
teams will be Ignored by the intercol-
legiate rules committee. to which body n
request was made to settle the dispute.

Grounds on Saturday. November Is
ended In a IL to ~ victory for Morris.
Coach William Cook Of Clinton protested
a decision on the paV OF Referee Nixon.
who allowed a kick following a punt on;
from behind the goea line. Nixon per.
mitted the kick OF the grounds that a
Clinton man illegally interfered with the
punt out.
The Clinton authorities carried the
matter to the games committee OF the
Public Schools AthAD;ic League. but the
scholastic body washed its hands clear
Of the affa!r and referred the matter for
decision to the intercollegiate rules COM
mittee. One Of the members of that COM
mittee yesterday said that tina body will
turn the protest back to the high schools
committee because the referees decision
In fnal and cannot be reversed. II
that is the case the Morris High
school L. clearly entitled to the cham
pionsh'p OF Manhattan and The Bronx.
The Morris team. by the way was
deprived OF another touchdown by
Referee Nixon. who refused to allow
what appeared to be a legitimate for

a touchdown for the Bronx school,. Had
the touchdown been counted the score
would hav been at least ~ TO IL in Nor.

On September l5 Of next year a new

strength which self-respect demands the

WOMAN SUFFRAGE RECOGNIZED.
WITH LIMITATIONS

The platforms adopted by the Repub-
hcan and Progressive Conventions in Chi
cago are very similar in the main. Both
make protection of the rights of American
citizens the leading issue, both stand for
a firm Mexican policy, and both declare
for protective tariff.
The final plank in the Republican plat
form, however has probably caused more
comment than any other. It reads:
''The Republican party, reaffirmino its
faith of government of the people, bv the
people, for the people, as a measure Of
justice to one-half the adult people of this
country, favors the extension of the snf-
trage to women but recognizing the rioht
OF each state to settle this question for it.
self. -
Thus, for the first time, one of tho +,ro
Old leading parties declares itself in favor
of the principle Of granting the riobt Of
suffrage to women. The fact bowo1,or
that the right of each state ''to SETTLE this
question for itself" is recognized. DESTROYS
the effect of the declaration in lorno
measure.

REPORTS OF NORTH SEA NAVAL
BATTLE CONFLICTING

The English and German admiralties
seem to be fighting the North Sea naval
battle over again in their reports, which
are highly conflicting.
Germany has now admitted, in an of
fetal statement, that her losses were one
battle cruiser, one older ship Of the line,
four small cruisers, and five torpedo boats.
The statement says: "FOr military rea-
sons we refrained until now from making
public the loss Of the battle cruiser Lutzow
and the cruiser Rostock." The British mi
mate that the Germans, for military rea-
sons" are probably also concealing still
greater losses sustained in the battle
Germany claims that Great Britain s sea
power and prestige have been shattered.
The British admiralty, on the other hand,
declares that the German feet is so Grip
pied that it will be impossible for it to
undertake any important naval movement
for months; furthermore, that the German
dream Of a possible invasion of Great
Britain has been dissipated. The Chief of
the German Admiralty Staff says:
"The German victory was gained by
able leadership, and by the effect of our
artillery and torpedo weapons.
'FWhile the German list Of losses is here
with shown, there are positive indications
at hand that the actual British losses were
materially higher than admitted 1t has
been established by us that in addition to
the Warsprite, the Princess Royal and Biz
nlingham were destroyed. According to
reliable reports, the dreadnOught MARI
borough also sank before reaching harbor
''The high sea battle remains a German
victory. The total loss Of 6O,720 tons of
German warships stands against that of
III, $50 tons for the British"
A London report states that in proof
Of the fact that the British dreadnought
