7 .ONDON, Jan. 25.-An Amster-

National Liberal, who generally
supported the Chancellor, al
though DR.. Stresemann insisted
on the necessity of ensuring the

Philip Scheidemann, president
of the Social Democratic party,
agreed with the Governments
view, but complained because the
submarine warfare had failed
and had drawn the United States
into the struggle. lie regretted
that Chancellor Won Hertling had
not regarded President Wilson'S
message as an honest declaration
tending toward peace, and also
because the Chancellor had de-
clared 30 definitely that Alsace-

mann thought that once the ques-
ton of Belgium were settled, the

tiOn Is Expected.

On March / the members Of the
Princeton Club will abandon the old
Stanford White mansion In Gramercy

Yale Club at Vanderbilt avenue and
Forty-fourth street. An arrangement
which is characterized by ofIiciaIs Of
each club as most happy and salts

Princeton Club members may make
themselves as thoroughly at home in the
quarters OF the Yale Club as the men,
bers Of the Yale Club are themselves.
The Princeton men will not occupy
separate quarters. They win merge ab-
solutely into the Yale-Princeton Club for
the duration OF the war. The twenty

The merger viii solve many problems
of each club. War service has taken
700 active members from the Yale Club
and has removed almost as many from
the Princeton Club. Many Of these ON

dues have been remitted as q compli-

became a serious one. The Yale Club
particularly faced the problem Of keep
ing big and expensive plant going. II
issued an invitation to the Princeton
Club. which was gratefully accepted BE-
cause the Princetonians had few
special problems.
The Princeton Clubs lease on the
