The following item was published

Kersns<y Follower Displeased.

London, Jan. IL Henry M. Hynd-
man, leader of the British Socialists
and DR.. William Gavronsky, who was
special commissioner Of the Kerensky
government: to Great Britain, today
sent a cablegram to President VIII
son LrOtestinF against what they
termed the Presidents identification
of the BoIsheviki with the democracy
Of Russia The cablegram said Mr.
Wilson was playing inta the ha'Ids
of autcnomiC despotls:n and support
ing lawless rule which IS destroying
the foundations of Russian freedom
and Russian power o. resistance 10
the enemy"
NJ. Gavrorf ky issued thc following
statement st the Russian embassy:
"TIle allies made a bis blunder in
relation 20 revolutionary Russia.
They did not define their war aims
clearly during the time Of kerenskys
government and thus they placed
powerful weapon in the hands of the
Bolsheviki in their fight against the
allies as we'll as the Kerensky gov
eminent which always supported the
war policies of the allies. Were II
not for this blunder. we would not
be witnessing the unfortunate spec
tacle of Russia being drawn into an
abyss of Bolsheviki rule and an alleg-
ed representation Of Russia carrying
on peace negotiations. Another
blunder must be prevented at all
costs. The allies ought to base their
policy in Russia on their friends not
their enemies, the BOlsheViki."

COLLEGE SPORT
DEAD IN EAST
Attention of Students Is
Toward Enlisting and
Draft Regulations

The condition of college athletics
at eastern institutions is well illus
trated by the situation at Cornell, one
of the leading universities of the sec
ton in the support Of sport, There IS
hardly one department of athletics in
which, at the beginning of the year, a
complete program or schedule is
planned Efforts are being made to
support, as far as compatible with
other more important activities, each
and every branch of sport INDUCED
in during the spring months The
situation in rowing is perhaps typical
and, as outlined in a recent issue of
university publication, gives an in
sight to conditions prevailing at Cor
nell at this time, The article, in part,
is as follows:
Rowing plans have not yet crys-
tallized. Practice on the rowing ma
chimes in the gymnasium will go for
ward and when the inlet is clear OF
ice in the spring, crews will be boated
as usual. On account of the early
closing of the university, however, Ii
will be difficult for the management
to schedule dual races, either on Lake
Cayuga or elsewhere. 1t is taken for
granted that no attempt will be made
this year to revive the Poughkeepsie
regatta, Obviously Cornell could not
participate in such a regatta next
spring. John Collyer, active rowing
coach, was in Ithaca recently and
while here he conferred with Mr.
Courtney and others on the rowing
situation, but no definite conclusion
was reached. Final decision will not
be made until later In the winter.
"In general, athletic activities eX-
cept i'm basketball. and wrestling have
been unusually quiet since Thanks
giving, the attention of the under
graduates being turned largely to-
ward enlisting and the draft regula-
tions. After the holidays, training
will be resumed and more interest Is
looked for, and q fairly large number
of participants"

The Markets
STOCKS DECLINE
IN DULL SESSION

New York, Jan. 1I-Stocks declined
during the. dull forenoon in the stock
market today, rails joining the move
ment. The few gains included Motor
Accessories, Peoples Gas, Wells-Far-
go Express and United cigar Stores.
Bonds were extremely variable,
French government 5E's rising a
substantial fraction while on the
curb. Russian government rs and
6I2's broke and . points, respective
iy, on reports from PetroErad that
those issues may be Cancelled. Liberty
3h's sold at $40 to 9S.62, first as at
$500 TO $500 and second As at 1864
to 96.42.
Industrials, including the more pop
ular war issues, yielded / to IL
points in the early dealings. Ship
pings, coppers and oils also reacted to
a like extent. SteeIs were subjected
to marked pressure and the loss OF
~ points in American Can was at
tributed to the Companys new financ-
ing. Rails were irregular on nominal
offerings. Liberty bonds showed
slight Improvement.

NorUdl Babtie
Only Block To
M'Ledn S Hope

Norval Baptie, Bathgate, n D., is
the only block to the ambition Of
Robert Mclean Chicago, who recent
ly defeated Oscar Mathisen, Norwe-
CLAN skating champion, in a series of
events in the windy city recently, TO
become the skating champion of the
world.
Baptie, who is recognized as the
peer Of all ice artists, has been pay
ing more attention to fancy than
speed skating in the past few years,
and has lett the race field to other
contenders.
Baptie saw the Mathematician
contests, and asserted that the latter
was one Of the greatest pieces of Ice
skating machinery he ever saw, and
while he would not say that he could
beat Mclean, he declared that he was
willing to meet him at any time.
S Mclean now is international skat-
ing champion, but cannot claim the
worlds title until he has beaten
Baptie.
