an annual visit to South American and other neutral ports, mainly for educational and recreative purposes, until a worldwide peace has been es- tablished.-New Britain Record.
 Reports agree that jitney drivers rush their cars at reckless speed when in the vicinity of the Ivy Street school, going through Winchester avenue, Every day the teachers in this school warn the boys and girls to be very careful at all crossings and on no &C., count go into the street except when necessary to do so at the regular crossings. This extra vigilance on the part of the teachers has probably prevented many very serious acci- dents. The police should see to il that the jitney men drive slower and much more cautiously in the vicinity Of all schools. Not all are reckless, but some are. The lives of our chill dren should not be unnecessarily en- daugered by jitneys racing to gather a few extra dimes.-New Haven Times-Leader.

BERNSTORFF IS
 ANXIOUS ON THE
 PEACE PROPOSAL
Calls at Department of State to Ascertain Sentiment of This
 Government.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-German Ambassador von Bernstorff called today at the State Department to try and learn the attitude of the government of the United States to- wards the peace proposals submit ted by Germany.
 Ambassador von Bernstorff made 1t plain to Secretary of State Lansing that Germany knew, in make peace suggestions to her enemies that there was little liklihood of a resulting im- mediate peace in Europe. Her plan in reality involved wide discussion as to what the fighting is for" to be participated in by representatives of all the combatants. "Such a dis cussion," said the ambassador, "is untrammeled and open and must eventually show way to peace in the German opinion"
 Secretary Lansing said today that President Wilson is really very hope full that the powerful influence of the United States and other neutral nations with that of the Vatican will be thrown on the side of peace as soon as the present negotiations take definite shape.

Carmen" at Dream.

Before a most enthusiastic aud fence at the Dream last night a notable screen version of Carmen was given. It was a splendid pre- sentation, not only in its beauty and the artistic results achieved but it was made particularly so on account of the first appearance here of Geraldine Farrar. Farrar's ap- pcarance at Bizet's cigarette hero inc sustained her heralded reputa- ton. Miss Farrar does not play the part like Theda Bara, seen here recently. The latter has more dew ilsh fire. Miss Farrar plays the part much like it is given in the operatic version of which she is al- so a star. Miss Farrar's imperson- ation is more refined, more deli cately given than was Theda Bara's. There is a fineness to her produc- tion. cleyerness that comes from long association with the part. The scenes are magnificent and the af- fray in the cigarette factory be- tween Carmen and Frasquita was fast and furious. The duel scene between Don Jose and Morales was exciting. Carmen" will do big business for the remainder of the week. The special selection by the orchestra was greatly appreciated and encored last night

Harvard Wins.

A field goal Oy IIorween was tho margin of Harvard's victory over an almost equal Princeton clever before 10000 spectators in the Sta dum last Saturday at Cambridge Defensiyely the Tigers proved liar yards equal, and stopped many Crimson plays which had been ef- fective against other teams. of- fensively. Harvard was able at sey- eral times to gain enough ground through Casey's elusive runs tc threaten Princeton's goal.
 only by abortive attempts at long goals from the field did the Tigers menace Harvard. Princeton's re- liance in its extremity was the for ward pass from various formations but that generally failed. The IT. ger team, defeated for the first time this season, went into tears as they slouched off the field. liar yard supporters cheered Casey for his effective running attack and Horween for his accurate toe.

Rir Shake.un for Coastera.

While it is far cry to the next Pacific Coast League baseball sea- son, the rival managers already have begun to drop hints as to what they intend doing to their organi- cations and, according to these early intentions it seems more than prob able the baseball enthusiasts of the coast will see many new faces in the lineups of the clubs next spring.
 Oakland, of course, is believed to be destined for the biggest shakeup, owing to the poor showing made by that organization during last season. Manager Del Howard, who assumed the reins in midseason when the Oaks were hopelessly out of the race, likely is to reconstruct his entire baseball machine with the possible exception of a few of the men who showed up fayorably.
 Wolverton the San Francisco manager, already has begun trying to build up a competent pitching staff, of which he was sadly in need during the 1916 race. He also is in search of a good first baseman and catcher and states that deals are pending for men to fill these many places, but he withholds their Identity. To fill the vacancy made by Ping Bodie, who goes to the Philadelphia American team. Vol verton says he has in view a broth CT of Fritz Maisel, a former Detroit player who finished the season with the International League.
 Salt Lake loses it's best two pitchers in Piercy and Fittery, who go to~,the majors, which at once places this department in the negli- gible class. Second and third bases are more likely to find new men

U. of W. PIays Great Game With

VI VA w Q @ -N-a WY
 o. A.
 The University of Washington brushed aside another rangerous rival in the Pacific Coast conference scramble last Saturday afternoon when the oregon Agricultural col lege eleven fell an easy victim be- fore Coach Dobie's champions in a contest which opened like a cham pionship affair and ended in rout. The score was 35 to O.
 The victory was a sweet one, as it proves the supremacy of the purple and gold team over Coach Dietz's Washington State College aggregation, which lost to the Ore gon Aggies earlier in the season. With the Oregon Agricultural col- lege out of the way, California alone stands between Washington and another championship.
 A Football Day.
 It was an ideal football day and the 6OOO gridiron followers who piled into the University neld stands settled down in their seats and pre- pared for a close, stubborn battle. It was just this kind of a game for about three periods. And when the visiting farmers made up their minds that it was not an Oregon Agricultural College day, and Do- bie's machine solved the Beaver de- fense and for the rest of the strug- gle behaved like an old-time Wash ington team.
 The varsity got lot of good prac- tice for the California game in the last two periods, but from a specta- tors point of view, it was not ex- actly an interesting affair.

Twenty two-reel seen arios of unusual plots-the cream of those submitted in the last twenty-six months-have been set aside and incorporated in the ser ial.
 These scenarios were written by Miss Cunard in her spare time for future prediction. Six months ago they were woven into a connected story and the resulting scenario is unique in that each episode is a story complete in itself with a punch at the end which is cal culated to bring the theatre pa tron back the next week.

 Nearly everyone las hearz or David Warfeld. the great character actor of the speaking stage. Last night at the Coliseum was an actor who is to the screen what War6eld is to the real stage. His name is Julius Steger and for wringing the heart throbs from one, and making a delightly performance of a really delightful character, Steger made a decided good impression. He plays the part of a father who is wrapped up in his son. The latter, snubs him, steals from him and finally ruins him financially. The son then disappears. The fathers prayer has always been that his boy will be a man. The son makes good in for eign land and comes back to the father, who has been reduced and living in poverty. It is an inter esting story, well told and excel lnetly acted. There are several good parts in it besides the lead This bill is on tonight and tomor- row night.
