For almost two tense but joyless
quarters it was the most asinine
football battle royal for which Ore

Elephants in the past many years
twenty-five mud-begrimed and fight
ing athletes had flung themselves at
each other in Il vain hope to cross
that No Mans land and traverse
the goal line Of the enemy. Toward
the end of the opening half, the
Crimson and Gray was advancing
steadily but the cranky old blunder-
buss officiously toted by the import
ant gentleman on the sidelines, bel
lowed forth half-time and the Aggies
trotted off to their quarters while
the Dietz tribe, true to CUSTOM
squatted around Chief Lonestar on
the north end of the gridiron. We
could only snatch an occasional word
from the speech of the chief to his
warriors, but we knew, when play
was resumed, that he is an orator
for there was that old fierceness and
consistency in attack which has
downed opposing elevens for three
years past The ball was rushed to
the Orange and Black 18-yard line
and then came the criss-and en-
tered 81 Sites, hero.
OF course, we had left behind Ben

OF victory. The field was soggy and
miry, and on such a gridiron Ben

wasn't there to lead the attack, and

OF course, 81 denies these allegations

aged he occasionally has young

BALFOUR IS GUEST
 AT WILSON DINNER
GREAT BRITAIN'S FOREIGN SEC RETARY DIMES INFORMALLY
 WITH PRESIDENT.

Washington.-Arth James Bal four, Great Britain's foreign secretary, dined informally with President Will son at 1he White House, and after wards the two statesmen had their first intimate talk since they met d week ago.
 In that week MT. Balfour has an nounced that there is no thought on the part of the allies of asking the United States to enter into formal alliance for the war against Germany, a loan of $200,000,000 has been made to England, the French commission CTS have arrived, war army draft bills have passed both houses of Congress and informal conferences have estaD- lished agreement in principle between Grc5.s Britain, France and the United States on military, naval, economic and financial affairs. The three gov ernments have come to know each other both in strength and in weak ness and tho lines have been laid for the most effective cooperation poSsl- ble toward the defeat of German au- tocracy.
 These things are understood to have been reviewed by the president al:d MT. Balfour with an idea of taking stock and seeing particularly where Englands experience could further be of value to the United States.
 MT. Balfour remained at the White House until after 10 o'clock, and then accompanied the president to the Pan American Building to attend recep- tion given there by Secretary Lansing in honor of the French commissioners.
 The British commission centered it's attention on the subjects of ships and ammunition. A. G. Anderson, wllo is handling shipping for Great Britain, as we'll as wheat, spent some time in conference with members of the shipping board while w. T. Lawton, secretary of the British ministry of munitions, conferred with the new American munitions board. AfterwaId both officials talked with MT. Balfour.

AMERICANS SOLVE SUBMARINE MENACE
w. L. SAUNDERS, CHAIRMAN NAV AL CONSULTING BOARD,
 IS CONFIDENT.
PERFECTED BY "A. EDISON
Behind Program Submitted To Navy Department Is All of Edison's Prac- ticabiIity in Accomplishing
 the Seeming impossible.

New York.-W. L. Saunders, chair announced here that the board had forwarded to Washington plans for dealing with the submarine problem, which, it is believed, has solved the problem successfully.
 MT. Saunders, who has been chair man of the board about two months, supplemented his announcement by saying that while the submarine prob lem cannot be considered to have been solved until the U-boats have been destroyed, nevertheless, many experiments have been made along the Atlantic coast, with highly en- couraging results, which led the board to feel confident that successful so- lution had been reached
 "It looks as though the submarine problem has been solved" Mir Saun- ders said, mot only in theory, but on the strength of practical tests on the Atlantic coast'
 The scheme is not merely a defen- lfC iiCctoult against LILO tllc Mr. Saunders said It calls for offen- sive operations on extensive scales.
 Thomas A. Edison, who is president of the board, did not originate the scheme, MT. Saunders said. But the inventive wizard, he said, had been working tirelessly to perfect it's many phases. Since the declaration of war against Germany, MT. Edison and his assistants have been trying thousands of schemes suggested to block Ger many's undersea warfare, now ad- mittedly the great menace to the Eu- ropean allies and their new American partner, the United States.
 Behined the program submitted to the Navy Department is all of the Edisonian practicability and all of Edison's delft skill in accomplishing the seeming impossible. Announcement of the scheme by the chairman of the board dispelled ideas that it might be merely another academic idea devoid of practical use. The fact that the board made experiments before mak- ing their find public. left little doubt in the minds of naval officials that at last the wars great problem had been solved. If the plan works, as few doubt, American brains will have done what European cannon balls and bull lets have failed to do in four years of warfare.
 No announcement was made of the details of the scheme. Mr Saunders explained that announcement had been made at this time to allay the fears of Americans aroused by recent expressions by American and British officials that the U-boat snake is be- ginning to crush the limbs of traffic between the United States and her European allies.
 Fifteen subcommittee of the board have been concentrating their efforts on the submarine problem. MT. Saun- ders took pains to dispol any sugges- tion that he is theoretical in his find ings.

 Firmly convinced of the victorious issue of the present war and in per feet agreement with our allies, the provisional government is likewise confident that the problems which were created by this war will be solv- ed by the creation on a firm basis of lasting peace and that, inspired by identical sentiments, the allied democ- racies will find means of establishing the guarantees and penalties neces- sary to prevent any recourse to san guinary war in the future" An order was issued by the Russian provisional government granting free dom of association and meeting.
