Senator Chamberlain read into

the issue. Chief among these data
is the report OF the speech he deliv-

Mr.. Chamberlain was at his best
speaking as a United States Sena-

the Senate Committee of Military
Affairs, summing up the highly
important and vitality necessary evl-

greatest disadvantages. He spoke of

rifles, in machine guns, in heavy
ordnance, in uniforms. This is now
an old story. The reality underly-

evidence can be summarized to show

Hon. George Earle Chamberlain,
formerly OF Mississippi and now
United States Senator, representing
the Democrats party of Oregon, has
delivered his farewell address to the
Democratic party, as now organized
In the United States. Hereafter he is
aligned with Colonel Roosevelt and
the Armageddon Reserves.
AS he spoke in the United States
Senate chamber yesterday, It was to
full seats and crowded galleries,
with majority of the House Repre-
sentatives in attendance, unofficially.
The audience was sympathetic. II
listened with profound attention.
Senator Chamberlain, laboring under
the greatest disadvantages, did all
that could have been expected from
any one TO overcome them. Perhaps
no one else could have succeeded so
well. He spoke with dignity, with
earnestness, occasionally with deep
pathos.
1t may be said truly, for the infor-
nation Of whom It may concern, that
he commanded sympathy most fully
In climaxes when he put all the
earnestness of his character into re-

Two Sessions for
Harvard Eleven
On Practice Field

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 14.-There
were two football sessions for the Har-
ward service team to-day. Before s
O'Clock this morning, while the military
and naval units were drilling, Captain
Ed Daley had about seventy players
working, this being twice as many as
have been on the field at the same time
all fall. In the afternoon Coach Dono-
van had most of the regulars working,
and started on some new plays which
will be used against the Boston col
lege team in the Stadium week from
tomorrow.
In the morning several good players
who have been unable to work in the
afternoons appeared. The most prom
ising was K. l.. Gehrke, a l75-pound
halfback from Cleveland, who will be
placed in the regular lineup at once
With the enlarged squad Coach Dom
ovan will try to organize a second team
to play against the regulars next week,
as it will be impossible to work against
the radio team, which cannot report for
practice until after the college service
team players have been sent back to
their classrooms.
