Eastern College Athletic
Authorities Agree-No

New York. Feb. 9.-opinions among
followers of eastern college athletics
appear to indicate radical changes in
intercollegiate contests after the war.
Up to the present time there has been
no concrete suggestion or plan offered,
Incorporating the ideas under discus

there VIII be rapid progress In this
direction once the agitation reaches
a plane above idealistic propaganda.
Notwithstanding the attitude of a

WAR CABINET LABOR
MEMBER FOR DEMOCRACY
Urges Fellow Workers Not to Leave
Our Children 4 Heritage Of
Trouble.
tBY AssocIated Press. }

London, Feb. &C. N. Barnes, labor
member Of the war cabinet, in a mes
sage to his fellow workers in the
cause of labor begs them to continue
their steady support in the prosecu-
ton of the war for democracy.
Democracy" he says is at one
and the same time on it's trial and in
the crucible. If this war is lost by
the Allies the cause Of democracy is
under eclipse for generations to come,
and we leave to our children q heri-
tage Of trouble.
Might ] ask labor throughout the
country to be steady for the final
phases of the war? ask it not to
be confused by lying statements. Tt
was said for instance that there had
been meetings of financiers abroad
while the governments were refusing
to allow labor to confer with enemy
subjects workmen The statement
was absolutely false. Another equal
~ false statement was that we had
refused to define our aims with our
Allies and particularly with the reyo-
lutionary government Of Russia.
