WESTERN ATHLETICS
 PLACED UPON PAR
 OF PRE-WAR STATUS
INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS IN WESTERN CONFERENCE RE- TURNED TO OLD STATUS AT MEETING OF "RIG TEN" FAC uLTY COMMITTEE SATURDAY
Rv Review Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 7.-lntercol- legiate athletics in the western con ference were restored to a pre-war basis here today at a meeting of the 'big ten" faculty committee, held in connection with the schedule meet ing of the athletic directors and coaches.
 The freshmen rule, wiped out when the war department assumed control of the universities to establish student army training corps, was restored and the faculty committee again came into control of athletics.
 The committee, however, voted to disregard all eligibility rules pertain ing to the 1918 football season, which makes it possible for those who played varsity football to compete for four years in that sport.
 Although the committee voted to ignore eligibility rules for football players, the freshman rules will go into affe% now and no first year men will be permitted to take part in athletic contests for the remainder of collegiate year.

Expert discusses tho Railroad

Prof. Oliver NJ. Spraguc, we'll
known st. Johnsbury resident, has
prepared an analytical article on rail
road securities for one of the Boston
banking houses He is Converse prof
essor of banking and finance of the
graduate school of business admins
tration at Harvard college and an eX-
cert from his article here follows:
Whether rightly or wrongly, the
likelihood of the policy OF government
ownership after the war will be
strengthened the most in direct ratio
with the degree of success which the
government experiences in operation of
the roads. The most effective use of
terminals as well as of equipment
will presumably be the most striking
of the advantages derived from gov
eminent operation. These gains the
public will insist must be retained
under whatever railroad arrange
ments are adopted after the return
of peace The more fundamental OBJ
jections to government ownership
based on considerations OF IA social
and political nature will not be weak
ened by successful government oper-
ltlOn OIL the falIfOauS, put lncSc are
considerations which will not probably
as in the past be reinforced by the
effective opposition of railroad i'm
vestors. They will inevitably find that
the roads cannot be restored to them
as the time they were taken over by
the government After operation as
/ unit for a period of years, the organ
zation of each separate company will
be in some measure disintegrated.
Time would be required to rCestabliSh
each road as smoothly working,
going concern, and to rcestablish
valuable traffic relations with the ship
ing and travelling public.
Control of the railroads by the
government during the war seems
likely then, to create g serious after
the-war problem. Government own
ership, or the development of arrange
ments under private management
which will retain the advantages of
uniform operation are the alternative
policies from which Il choice must be
made"

Mark Twain and Suffrage

M lrk Twain was for suffrage and

reaY n because he had SO good and
sens BILE wife In writing just
after her death he said to Il friend,
can hour ago the best heart that ever
beat for me and mine went silent
out of this house and l am as one who
wan lers and has lost his way"
IS he who is gone was our head, she
was our hands. We arc now trying
to make plans-we; we who have
never made a plan before, nor ever
needed to- If she could speak to US
she would make it all simple and heal
ing with q word, and our pelPleXities
would vanish away If she had known
she was all our riches and she is
gone: she was our breath, she was our
life. and now we are left.
,Jt IN Stewart Mill said, that you can
tell with almost laughable accuracy
what Il. mans wife is like by finding
out what his opinion is of women.
With such wife, Mark Twain should
hardy have failed to believe in equal
rights If the spirit of the beloved
humorist could stand unseen at the
side of each congressman today, he
would Bid them vote for the nation

TWO TORPEDO BOATS
CONDUCT NIGHT RAID

Rome. Dec Correspondence
of The Associated Press 1.-TWO tor
pedo boats recently conducted thrill
ing night raid on the harbor OF
Trieste. Here are the details as pub
lished in The Tribune here:
THE torpedo boats set out in the
evening and navigated for long
time in complete darkness before the
port. They cut eight chains and re
moved the floating mines which barr
ed the entrance. Slowly exploring the
harbor they perceived the Wien ana
another warship. One of them drew
UP alongside the Wien and another
alongside the other cruiser. In or
der TO cut the nets of the Austrian
cruisers one of the torpedo boats APP
lYroached within few yards OF the
Wien. She found no nets, however,
and drew off.
suddenly the searchlight of the
Wien was directed towards the en-
trance to the harbor. The torpedo
boats waited in extreme anxiety but
the searchlight was eXtinguished with
out their being seen.
THE two torpedo boats corrected
their positions and each launched two
torpedos Formidable explosions gave
the alarm and the Wien sank in seven
minutes 1t was impossible to ascer-
tain what damages the second cruiser
sustained, for a hasty retreat was nee
essary to avoid the enemy afullefy
fire and the bombs from aircraft Inc
torpedo boats left the harbor at full
sneed and returned to their base"
