The Wooden Ship Fiasco.

First of all, let us say that it is
a poor and silly policy for Chairman
Denman of the Shipping Board to
score Gen. Goethals in such terms
as he used last night. 1t will serve
to weaken him immensely with the
administration powers and serve to
weaken public confidence in the
Shipping Board.
What is the public to think of the
alleged "smooth-working machinery
which Washington boasts of having
reached when such a row as this is
aired in public?
Gen. Goethals may have been in
discreet in his after-dinner remarks,
hasty and unweighed as they were;
Mr.. Denman is deliberately indiscreet
and worse by Haunting the matter in
public in the manner he adopted last
night. The whole shipbuilding pro-
gram is jeopardized if there is going
to be free-for-all fight over it.
The result of the trouble, doubt
less, will be to retzrd shipping legis-
lation in Congress and TO cause a de-
mand for a probe OF the whole ship
building program. It Is clear that if
Gen. Goethals and Mr.. Denman are
at loggerheads, and that if their diff
ferences are irreconcilable, one or
the other will have to give way. The
business of war calls for autocratic
power in the hands of one RESPONSE
BILE authority, who must make good
or yield to another autocrat; not for
an accumulation of grievances, red
tape, and petty wrangling over a
vital element in the prosecution of
the conflict.
1t is not too much to say that the
feud has gone so far as to make it
imperative that the President place
one man or the other in supreme
control of the building of the mer-
chant marine which, it is hoped, will
aid in circumventing the deadly peril
of the submarine.

DR.. VAN SCHAICK URGES
VIGOROUS WAR ACTS
Pastor Says This Is the Time to Fight
Hard.

To-day is no time to practice the doc
trine OF nonresistance toward Germany. -
said the Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick.
pastor Of the Universalist Church of Our
Father. in his sermon yesterday on THE
War, the Pacifst and the Christian
Faith"
while the Bible says Tove YOU enc
niles and breaches nonresistance. we
should remember that this doctrine is not
the only doctrine found in the Bible or
in the teachings of Christ.
Christ himself used the whip on the
money changers in the temple While it
is advisable to sometimes practice nom
resistance, and shame our enemies into
disarming by refusing to fight them,
there are times when this is not prac-
ticabIe.
I'VE must grid on the sword Of right
eousness, and rid the world forever of
the enemies of Justice, advocates Of might
Is right and enemies OF democracy
I'VE must fight the forces of evil as
Christ fought them. The velvet glove
Is not always the means with which to
impress our enemies that our cause Is
right and Just.
'If we follow out the doctrine OF nom
resistance and It alone. we are neglect
ing the doctrines of Christ and democ-
racy."
DR.. Van Schaick made an eloquent ap-
peal for subscribers to the liberty loan,
urging those who are not able to fight
with a gun to use their purses to de-
feat the plan for Prussianizing the world.
The Red Cross also came in for mention.
the pastor mentioning the enormous
amount of aid rendered by the Red Cross
In times of peace as well as war.
DR.. Van Schaick urged the young men
to enlist and not wait to be conscripted.
The fight We are waging today" he
said, ''is in the interest OF world freedom
as well as that of the seas"

A Restatement Of War Aims.

The American government is con-
templating restatement of its OBJ
jectives in the war.
1t will not be a joint statement
with the entente, but one which
bears only the hallmark of Wash
ington upon it, although it will be
endorsed and supported by the en-
tente. There is no prospect of fric-
ton between the allies over war
aims.
Russia will be the particular target
of the American memorandum. Lon
don and Paris are we'll content to
let America undertake the work of
conciliating Petrograd, of co-ordinat-
ing her new aspirations, her raw
radicalism, with the fixed and stable
objectives which, the western de-
mocracies have agreed, must be at
tanned before peace is possible
America is without the taint of i'm
perialism or of aspiration to con-
quest; Russia will hearken to her
more willingly than to her European
allies.
Upon the American government, it
is now apparent, will devolve the
task of checking and controlling the
mo annexations and no compensa-
tions" propaganda which still blurs
the thought and purpose of Russia. 1t
is clear that the United States, in
the long run, must maintain the
British and French demand for the
restoration of Belgium, Northern
France, Serbia and Poland through
an indemnity levied on Potsdam. She
must demand the status quo ante in
the Balkans, thus choking off the
German dream of suzerainty in Asia
Minor. She must support either the

Embargoes.

President Wilson is seeking an
embargo power from Congress be-
cause he desires a punitive weapon
with which to fail neutrals when
they reveal purposes inimical to
American war policy and because it
IS required to conserve the food
supply.
Argentina complains of a wheat
shortage. She has embargoed it,
causing a considerable degree of ap-
prehension in France and England.
If the wheat shortage is a fact and
not a pretext, there is no just cause
for reprisal, so. far as the United
States is concerned; but if it is a
pretext, an embargo on our exporta-
tons of coal to Argentina would be
an effective counter blow. The exact
power of German intrigue in the Ar
gentine remains undetermined; it
seems to be working without any
great degree of popular support.
Norway is tying up her vast ship
ping, ordinarily at the disposal of
French and British interests, be-
cause she fears its destruction by the
German U-boat. London is willing
to insure her ships to get them into
service; but still Norway hesitates.
1t cannot be through fear of German
military reprisal, which obviously,
and justifiably, stays the hand of
Holland and Denmark. Unless Nor
way shows greater receptivity to the
approaches of the entente regarding
shipping she may find a British and
American embargo on her coal sup
ply. The world war assuredly is
making neutrality impossible, as
America discovered four months
ago. Neutrsls must give favors to
get favors; the middle ground slowly
hnt surely is being eliminated.
The President assuredly should be
granted the embargo power. II is
the key of our trade relations with
neutrals. If there is to be a real
shortage of our food stocks and sup
plies, then every ounce of our surplus
should be devoted to the single pur-
pose of winning the war, and the
claims of neutrals should not enter
into the equation.

CORNELL TO ROW YALE

Dual Regatta to be Staged Over Two- Mile Course on Housatonic River Nickalls Expected to Arrive Soon. New Haven, Feb. 2o-~Erew au- thoritiet of Yale and scornell have agreed Upon dual regatta, to be rowed here Saturday, May 19, &C., cording to an announcement made last night. It is understood that the distance will be about two miles and the course laid upon the Housatonic river near Derby. Cornell has also arranged a race with Princeton to be rowed on Cayuga Lake, May 26. The Ithacans will also compete in the in- tercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie on June 21.
 The Yale squad is expected to be- gin work in about ten days. Some of the candidates have done light work on the rowing machines ana have kept in condition by gymnasium work and outdoor running.
 Coach Guy Nickalls is due to ar rive in this country some time this month. According to a recent letter he intends sailing on the Adriatic which is expected to leave England any day. If anything should happen to the ship, Yales rowing plans might be srievously affected. If fate or da,ns that the Blue shall go without the services of Nickalls. this season at least, Prof. Mather Abbott, the res- ident coach and assistant to the Eng | 1ish instructor, will take charge.

HAUGHT0N SIGNS
 BIG ED. REULBACH
Fraternity Secretary Is Taken
 Back to Braves Fold

Boston, Mass, Feb. 20.---That there probably will be no discrimination against leaders of the Players Fra ternity for their part in the recent strike" became evident yesterday when Percy Haughton of the Boston Nationals announced that his club had received the signed contract of Pitcher Ed Reulbach. Reulbach is secretary of the fraternity. and no contract was sent to him when the other Boston contracts were mailed.
 While Stallings did not work Reul- bach much last season, Big Ed had a fairly good year, and defeated the Phillies handily in that big October series in Philadelphia which helped give Brooklyn the flag.
 Catcher John Henry, vice president of the fraternity, who incurred Pres ident Johnson's ire, came to terms with Clark Griffith before the Sena- tor pilot returned to Washington, and Henry will again be Washington s 1 first string catcher.
 The third member of Fultz's privy l council is Jack Miller. If the Kearny boys signs he will have to stand a salary reduction of almost 50 per cent. Miller's salary has been clipped from $6,500 to $3,500. but this re- duction was not due to Miller's fra 1 ternity affiliations.
 Contracts now are beginning to flow into the big league offices. In addi-
 ton to receiving Reubach's contract
 the Braves also announced that Red
 Smith had signed. Olaf Henriksen the pinch hitter and utility outf1eldel
 of the Red Sox, also signed yester.
 day.

INDOOR PRACTICE
 STARTS AT YALE
Capt. Le Gore and Promising Can. didates Report to Coach Lauder

New Haven, Feb. 20.-Yale base. ball indoor practice started today On paper Yale's baseball prospects have often looked exceptionally bright long before the candidates took the field for active practice and hopes have run high but in many cases, especial ly in recent years, there has been . reversal of form shown and the Yale nine has failed to live up to expec. tations.
 { There have. as a matter of fact been few really good Yale teams dur. ing the past 15 years. Last years team was literally shot to pieces be- cause of the Quoque incident, which barred Harry Legore. Rhett, Capt Milburn and Spencer Pumpelly, but of this quartet. three are now in col. lege and. of course, are eligible for this years team.
 Capt. Legore is on the job, and many believe he will build up a team ! that will prove much stronger than the teams that have represented Yale on the diamond in many seasons. There is an abundance of good base- ball material at Yale this season, talk ing those left from the wreck of las, season, and the freshmen from last years team.
 Coach Billy Lauder took hold last season and did very well with the material he had to work with and ii is expected the coming season he will be able to turn out winning nine.
 This year he will have tho entire infield of the 1916 team. tho first string battery and one of the outfield which played against Harvard. Capt. "Rolly" Vaughn and Early arc the only members of last years nine to have been graduated. i
 Garfield in the box; Munson behind the plate; Bush at first; Shell at sec ond; Johnson at shortstop; Kinney al third and Shepley in the outfield are back and this squad will be augment- ed by the presence of Legore. onl of the best shortstops Yale has ever had; Pumpelly in the box, and Rhet' in the outfield.
