FARLEY VOTES
TO CONTINUE war

Paris. The allied powers con
cluded their conference here after an.
nouncing a decision to continue the
war until the object for which they
are lighting is attained.
Their declaration, which was made
unanimously before separating, reads:
""The allied powers. more closely
united than ever for the defense Of
the peoples rights, particularly in the
Balkan peninsula, are resolved not to
lay down arms until they have attain.
ed the end which in their eyes domi.
mates all others-to render impossible

such as that whereof the central EN-
pires bear the responsibility"
There was unanimous agreements on
all decisions reached during the meet
ings. The ministers of departments
afRected will meet in London to draw

MORE COUNTRIES IN CONFLICT

London. 80 The third year of the
world war closes with the fortunes
of conflict favoring the entente except
for uncertainty as to the outcome Of
the Russian situation. 81 N z
The central powers sustained mo.
mentous setbacks, both military and
political, during the twelve months.
On the Western front in Europe the
Teutons find themselves on the de.
fensive at the advent of the fourth
year. They fight on lines newly es-
tablished after forced retirement from
terrain which they had won in earlier
days at tremendous sacrifice.
Meanwhile new enemy powers. not
ably the United States. have been
drawn in by the central empires and
progress toward the achievement Of
the ultimate aim Of the entente and
it's allies has been furthered by po-
litical disturbance which will remain
memorable in the history of all times;
Chief among these are. the. fall Of
two crowned heads-Nicholas of Rus
STA and Constantine of Greece. In
Russia autocracy has given way to
democracy. In Greece kingdom re-
mains, but not pro-Teutonic one, en-
tente pressure having won supremacy
in that part of the Balkans. =,
Portugal and Roumania threw in
their fortunes with the entente short:
ly after the third year began. The
United States entered in April, fol-.
lowed by Cuba and Liberia. Panama
pledged the United States her aid in
defending the Panama canal. Costa
RIGA put her naval bases at our dis
posal. China, Bolivia, Guatemala and
Brazil severed diplomatic relations
with Germany. Uruguay expressed
sympathy for the United States. Late
in July Siam entered the war against
the central powers.
An estimate made two months be-
fore the end Of the third year-voiced
by Arthur Henderson Of the British
war council-placed the number Of
men killed at 100000 since August,
1914. French general headquarters re-
Gently estimated 100000 Germans
had been killed up to March 1. Mr..
Henderson estimated the total casual.

United States. 4
Twelve and One-half years! The
NapOleonic wars lasted that long. The
press reports from across the ocean are
not especially reassuring for an early
peace, however ardently we desire It.
We ought to begin right here in con-
gress to save all we can in taxation.
It was frankly stated at the treasury
department that there was little or no
probability that the appropriation
granted and asked for, huge as the to-
tails are to date, would exceed the ex-
penditures; that there would be little or
nothing left over at the end OF the year.
In and out of o6dcial circles the esti-
mates that within short time the
United States would be spending on
the war as much every day as even
England that is to say approximately
$4,000, 600 were made freely and ac-
cepted as even conservative.
The call Of the war department for
an additional appropriation Of 5000
100000 was taken everywhere as the
forerunner of another call for perhaps
similar or greater amount in the near
future. This was intimated In the
treasury department with as little eff
fort at reticence as by the financial ex-
perts in the senate and house.
To Berlin Via the Air.
Berlin will be entered by the air
route, and the United States is stack
ing up its resources behind the allies
to furnish enough machines to make
the conquest possible. .r
This is the declaration Of Brigadter
General George o. Squier, commander
Of the signal corps. He said:
II am not here to make public our
plans or to indulge in prophetic figures.
The closest estimate can give about
our aeroplane plans is that the deter
mination of the allied governments is
to enter Germany by the air route, and
the United States government is going
to provide enough machines to make
itself felt in putting this program
through. -. ...... .
'This is not saying that We will con-
struct $1,000 airplanes or 100000 or
ten or dozen. If knew how many
machines we would construct or could
construct in a year I wouldn't tell, be-
cause that would be telling Ven Hin

GEORGIA TECH MAN
 HOLDS BIG RECORD

What complete combination, the undefeated eleven of Georgia Tech was can be seen from an analysis of the individual performances of it's members. Outstanding among these is the goal kicking after touchdowns by Bill F1ncher. one of the Golden Tornado's star linemen- During the last season Ffncher has kicked 49 goals after touchdowns, missed but two during the entire campaign, while. last year he missed but one out of IT trials. In his two years of kicking goals after touchdowns, he has reg istere4h 65 points for the Yellow Jack cts out of 6S attempts.
 A close follower of the football ac- tdv1ties of the Tech team this year, with a leaning toward statistics, has prepared table of comparative scores which shows that the Southern eleven was on an average close to 60 points better than the other leading college combinations of the East and Middle West By using the scores rolled up against Pennsylvania, Washington and Jefferson, Vanderbilt, Carlisle Tn dians, Auburn and Washington and Lee line of comparison is secured which runs through the play of the best teams of the season in all sec tions except the Far West and the Southwest.

ZBYSZKO CONOUERS
 PIERRE LIE BEIGE

New York, Dec. 11-Pierre Le Beige, of Belgium, often referred td as the Human Spring" made his appearance in the International wrestling tournament at the Lexing. ton theatre last night before quite 8 gathering of mat followers. Belge'a appearance didn't stretch over any length of time, as Wladek zbyszko. the Polish Hercules, bounced the Human Spring around without any great exertion and c1alnped his shoulders to the floor after minutea and 13 seconds with an inside arm and body mold.
 It was an easy victory for the mighty Pole. Beige got a body hold at the beginning of the match, but one twist and Zbyszko was free. Then Waldek began his task of pinning his adversary's shoulders to the mat.
 The Human Spring broke the first hold Zbyszko gained, but soon found himself in another. He tried his mightiest to break away from the Polish Hercules, but couldn't, and finally gave away to his great strengtk.

BROOME-MASON BATTLE.

Harry Broome defeated Fred Ma son on Dec. Il, 1643, seventy-four years ago today, tn a battle that lasted one hour and twenty minutes. The contest was staged near London. This was Broome's first important battle, and marked the beginning of 8 career that was to land him in the cham pionship. Mason was brother of Boleno, the famous English clown, and was a hard hitting bruiser, and had been defeated but once before. Harry Broome enjoyed a great ad- vantage in that he was the younger brother of Johnny Broome, one of the cleverest men who ever en- gagged in the boxing game, and 8 very competent teacher. Harry Broome would have been second-rater ex- cept for the constant instruction he received from his brother. In 1851 Harry fought Bill Perry. the TIptoa Slasher. for the championship of England, and was awarded the vic tory on a foul In 1855 Johnny Broome committed suicide. and the champion, overcome by grief, took to drinking. and fell an easy victim to Tom Paddock.

EBBETS IN FAVOR
 OF J0I1T MEETING

New York, Dec. 11.-Judging from what National league club owners said yesterday, the annual meeting of the league, scheduled for 2 o'clock at the Waldorf-A Astoria this afternoon, will merely be routine in character. It will not bring out any legislation on the important questions now con- fronting baseball, such as length of schedules, player limits, war taxes and salary reductions.
 Various club owners, including Eb- bets, Hermann and Dreyfuss, say these matters cannot be touched upon until the two leagues thoroughly air the subjects at a joint meeting.
 T believe that g. meeting with the American league is of utmost impor- tance at this time," said President Ebbeta of Brooklyn, land we will meet the American league in Chicago ct the expiration of our meeting here. I do not expect any four day National league season.
 Tt appears to me to be absolutely necessary that the two leagues should act in unison on the question con- fronting us For that reason I favor such a meeting. I believe Governor Tener's position on this matter has been misunderstood.
 My opinion is that the two leagues should tackle this problem as one The problem of both leagues is abso- lutely the same. It seems foolish to me for one league to, follow one course and the other to proceed in a different direction"

RAWEsT RING DECISION WAS GIVEN IN WEIR WARREN
 BOUT 30 YEARS AGO,

There have been many raw ring decisions handed down by referees, but perhaps the rawest was that giv- en by John Barnes in the battle for the feath herwaght championship of the world between Ike Weir and Tom my Warren, pulled off in Minneapolis just thirty years ago tomorrow. The Belfast Spider outfought the Boy Gambler of Louisville at every stage of the game, and Warren was in a bad way when Barnes stopped the affair in the twentieth round and call ed 1t a draw. Warren was a native of Los Angeles, but began his pugil- istic career in Louisville. He claim ed the featherweight championship of America by reason of his, defeat of the best little lads of the United States. The year before he met the Irishman he had engaged in a sensa- tional battle with Tom Barnes, near Louisville, which had gone forty rounds to a. draw Ike Weir was a native of Belfast, and had been on this side only about a year and half during which period he had whipped all the best featherweights of the East, when he challenged Warren. The bout was the first ever pulled off under Marquis of Queensbury rules with the worlds featherweight cham pionship at stake. John Barnes, the Minneapolis promoter, arranged the details and also acted as referee. A number of Louisville men were on hand with large wads of coin to back their favorite, and Weir had many rooters from Boston and New York among the spectators It has been alleged that Warren was given two- ounce gloves. and Weir much larger ones, but this cannot be substantial ed. Even if Warren had, the ad- vantage, it did him no good. The little Irishman played with him like 8, cat with a mouse. A majority of his blows were aimed at his oppon- ent's eyes, and early in.. the battle Warren's eyes became black and bloody. The Louisville boy was al. but out at the end of the twentieth, when referee Barnes, gave his draw decision. Weir promptly challenged Warren for another fight, but Tommy had enough of the Belfast Spiders game, and refused Weir then claim ed the Richard K. Fox featherweight championship belt, and it was award ed him.

Yale Will Try ToAdjust War
 Time Sports

Efforts will be made by the Yale athletic council and the university faculty in short time to formulate a definite general policy regarding the three major spring sports, baseball, track athletics and rowing. In none has it been decided whether meets with outside colleges will be arranged any whether any definite varsity team, will be organized or not. In none is a captain chosen for the or ganizing of the material and the planning for the coming season. There was no reason in any of the three branches of sports after the declara
 tion of war last spring. The baseball nine was allowed to complete its Eas- ter trip, which was begun at the time the declaration of war was made, the crew it's two races with the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania two days after war was declared, and the track team took part in an outside event the same week, but all three sports were dropped immediately and no scheduled event of any of the trio was held before the close of college in June. .5
 It was believed that when the fall term of college was begun in Sep tember an attempt would be made to organize the spring teams through the appointment of undergraduate managers and captains. No step whatever in this direction has. been taken, however. and it is now certain that the Christmas vacation will be begun the coming week without any plan being announced. A special meeting of the board of control, how ever, to discuss the situation will be held, but indications are that the only decision which will be made will be to wait till close upon the opening of the spring term before deciding to organize any teams whatever.
 The main reason for expecting this action is that a national call is ex- pected about Feb. for members of the Officers Reserve Training Corps at Yale to report at Plattsburg. If this should be made several hundred young men who are now Yale under
 graduates and are enrolled in the present Reserve Officers Training Corps, would immediately report to win their commissions as army off, cers, and the university would again lack material for its spring teams as completely as it did last spring when not a single veteran member of the baseball, rowing or track teams re- mained in college, following the de- claration of war. Under such condi- tions the likelihood of teams in any of the three branches of sports next season is slender. -.5. -.,. ss e
