OUTLINES POLICY.
Athletics Will Be Given Military Basis
and Purpose During War.

New Haven, Oct. 5.-Yale's athletic
problem, says Prof. A. N. Corwin,
chairman of the athletic board, in
outlining today the athletic policy of
the university is to give it's athletics
a military basis and purpose during
the war, SO as to make them. of bene-
fit to all men who are looking for
service.
'"Those highest in authority in
Washington" he said, have stated
that universities can best help by a
continuance of the athletic training
and athletic sports, since these are
an essential part of military training
and discipline.
"Yale'ss problem, therefore, is to
give our athletics military basis and
purpose during the war. This cam
not be done by reviving our old-time
intercollegiate schedules or devoting
all of our resources to the develop
ment of nine or eleven men of sur
passing skill and endurance What
is needed is exercise ad recreation for
every man who is physically fit, so
that he may be better equipped for
serving his country and the cause of
humanity in this time of peril. There
is no plan to discourage or curtail
athletics, but rather to give it spe-
cific aim and make it available and
useful to every man who is looking
for service

CHAIRMAN SPARGO
EXPLAINS DRAFT
All Men of Low S. ~ Numbers Will
Be Included in Next
Contingent

Bridgeport, Oct. 5.-With IS per
cent. of the drafted men already at
work in Aver and only Is per cent
still to be sent forward and these
when desired" with no dates set,
doubt about how the last few contin-
gents would be selected has been
cleared away by Edward c. Spargo,
chairman, of the fourth local exemp-
ton board of this city.
Positive orders have been received
by all boards, he said to be sure that
in completing the quotas all men Of
low serial numbers shall be included
and that no men of high numbers
shall be sent if that would leave low
er numbers out of the ranks when the
quotas were filled. There were many
appeals to the appellate boards, and
in some parts Of the country these
have not all been decided. All the
finally certified appellants will be in
cluded in the last Is per cent, he
said.
The last contingents also will in
clude the negroes none of whom have
yet gone to Aver, though some Of them
have low numbers in the serial list. 1t
is expected that the colored men soon
will be sent forward in one group to
include all of their race to be in the
new army.
No date has been announced by
Washington, Mr.. Spargo said, for any
part of the last 15 per cent He
thought the last few men would be
sent in small squads but had no idea
how soon or how much time there
would be between the squads.

SUFFICIENT COAL.
No General Coal Shortage in the
East, Says Administrator. 81

Washington, Oct. 5.-Reports of
general coal shortage in the east
either present or prospective, were
denounced today by DR.. Fl. A. Car

on the lakes these shipments will be
diverted to the east and distributed

Increased coal production will be
obtained. DR.. Garfield said, in the near
future through an arrangement CIV
ing coal cars, both loaded and empty,
preference over other slow freight

First Exemption Board to Send More
Men to Camp Devens-Slackers
Are Suspected.

trict does not plan to send any more
men to Camp Devens until the final
Is per cent are called, the first ex-

ent plan and on Monday will send
five men. They are: Samuel Burns,
captain; William B. German. Josef
Gerzysek, Stanislaus Grazewski and
Stanley RAMA. These men, either be-
cause they failed to get their notices

has recently seen service at Camp
Upton, L. I.

Senate Appoints Men to Make In
yesdgation Of Serious Charges
LA TOILETTE THE MAN
Senators Take Up Petition Urging
His Expulsion from Congress Be-
cause of Statements Made During
Speech In st. Paul, MINI.

Washington, Oct. 5.-A formal pre-
liminary inquiry into the alleged dis
loyal speech of Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin made before the Non-par-
tisan League at st. Paul, a fortnight
ago, was ordered today by the senate
privileges and elections committee.
Appointment of subcommittee of
five members was directed with au-
thority limited, first. to inquire into
the correctness of Senator LaFol-
1ette's speech, and second, into the
correctness of his statements made
therein.
The limited scope of the inquiry
was regarded as temporary action
upon the numerous petitions present
cd to the senate for the Wisconsin
senator's expulsion. The sub-com-
mittee probably will be appointed
during the day, and will be headed by
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, and was
ordered to report at the December
session of congress.
The senate committee took up petit
tions charging Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, chairman Of the senate foreign
relations committee with disloyal
statements and acts and decided that
the charges made did not warrant
any investigation of the Missouri
senator.
The senate committees decision was
reached after two-hour session and
with speech in the senate by Sen
ator LaFollette impending. The sub
committee was authorized to request
authority to employ stenographers
and make other necessary expendi-
lures, indicating that formal hearings
may be held with possible examina-
ton Of witnesses at st. Paul.
The resolution for authority to
make the sub committee inquiry and
for its general authority was sched.
uled to be brought before the senate
later today and many thought II
would be the basis Of sharp debate
in connection with the proposed
! speech of Senator LaFollette replying
to the charges of his critics.
