Movc Toward Amateur Ideal

y RECOMMENDATIONS of Yale's athletic
N committee for the adjustment of high
priced coaches should be adopted. not only
by Yale but by all American colleges This
one step is not enough, but 1t is ut least n
move toward the ideal Of amateur athletics.
AT present, the overwhelming ambition of
those interested in college teams is not to
provide healthful exercise. sport or diversion
but to win---always to win
with that aim before undergraduates and
alumni alike. it is not unnatural that wrong
ideas should take hold Even where tech
meal professionalism is abhorred. the nro
1essional spirit nevertheless often prevails
students not discouraged by faculties, make
business, profession, of what should be
sport In its purest form
NO matter how clearly the right of a COL
iege TO employ saaried coaches NAV he estab-
hshed by intercollegiate rules, the difference
between employing man to play and emplov
ins one 10 'each other men to play Is, after
all. largely a question OF tweedle-dum and

he might as well run again this year.
Mr.. Muller, however. Is better
schooled In the theories Of Karl Marx

his losing sight of the fact that notice
OF candidacy under the amended law
must be filed thirty days prior to the

When the Socialist candidate called
on Chief Clerk James II. Hayes, Jr., of
the Secretary of the commemorative
office. with the intention of fling his
name as candidate. he was Informed
that the period for filing notice of can

that he will not have another oppor-

American Flags Protection

l. 'RlIlCS OF the admin istration'S foreign
- policy, who are fond of declaring that
policy failure and of asserting that the
cessation Of German submarine attacks on
American shipping has been due to British
success in combating the submarines, are
invited respectfully to consider the case Of
the Kansan.
The Knnsan is American steamsh H.
chartered to the French government, and
carrying steel and other contra band to Italy
Painted on her hull is big American flag
She was halted at sea Sunday by a Ger
man submarine. but when her American
nationality was established by the ships
papers she was allowed 10 proceed On that
same day, however, two neutral vessels were
sunk off Nantucket light. One, the Bloom
ersdijk. was a Dutch freighter, bound from
New York for Rotterdam. The other was
the Christian knudsen, Norwegian. from New
York to London.
1t is clear that on the German theory the
kansan was more guilty than either the
Bloomersuijk the Christian Knudsen
Perhaps the whole detail OF her voyage and
character was not revealed by her captain
but her papers, which the commander OF the
submarine inspected, must have disclosed her
destination and the fact that she carried con-
traband of war. 1t was the American flag
which kept hcr afoat. German submarines
are taking no unnecessary chances with this
government.
ne ueSlfuCltOn OIL the BlOOmerSQl1k. how
ever may prove TO be serious matter She
was neutral ship bound from one neutral
port TO another neutral port She carried
Undoubtedly. large quantities Of American
goods. So far as the dispatches have dis
closed, there was no shadow Of Justification
for her sinking. III international law her
status would be identical with that of an
American vessel, bound from Bucnos Aires
to Norfolk.
1t is quite certain the Dutch government
will enter protest against this unjustihabic
act Of destruction and, if American citizens
have suffered losses. this government is likely
to join in the demand for PREPARATION.
The really spectacular incident of the
whole raid, however was the escape OF the
kansan from the jaws OF death That in
cident shows how little truth there is in the
oft-repeated statement that Germany is ready
and anxious to defy the United States
Where the British flag was an invitation to
destroy and neither the Dutch nor the Nor
wegian flag could offer any protection the
Stars and Stripes sent the Kansnn scatheless
on her way.

Drift Is to Wilson

Z VERY poll that is being taken nowadays
IL shows the drift in the presidential CAM
paign is to President Wilson. Even the New
ford Herald, which is supporting Hughes.
records in the published results Of the nation
wide canvass 1t is making the same indubi-
table,<rend.
According to the Herald's poll 81 per cent
of those who voted for Roosevelt in 1912
will vote next month for Wilson. If that
figure remains constant 1t will be ample to
assure Democratic victory in most of the
States where the real contest is being
waged. 1T has become moro apparent,
says the Herald, than it was a week or two
weeks ago that, with the President gaining
and Mr.. Hughes slipping slightly the race
for the presidency will be close one right
up to the close Of the campaign"
This is the Judgment Of one of the
strongest supporters Of the Republican candi-
date. Democrats see victory ahead

Q ECRETARl BAKERS new plan of re-
~ cruiting for the regular army will be
watched with interest throughout the coun-
try. On its success will depend very largely
whether the United States shall or shall not

means compulsion.
The other factor in that equation is the
National Guard. Because OF the guards
earnest insstence that it was to be trusted
as the second line of the country's defense,
Congress permitted it to retain that duty and
distinction. Now hear many stories that
members Of the guard are disguised with
their service in mobilization camps and on

If this describes the situation accurately
which we are not ready to admit-there is
no use in further national expenditures for
National Guard upkcep, for, in terms OF the
countrys need, wholesale failure to re-
enlist would prove the guard worthless If
1t cannot be called on for such service as
