 FORTH GOOD TEAM
 FOR GRIDIRON H0NORS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15 (by As sociated Press) The Olympic Club of San Francisco is represented on the gridiron this season by one of the best American football teams that has ever worn the winged 70" emblem. The eleven is chiefly made up of col lege stars of a few seasons ago.
 Standing out among them is the coach and halfback, Bart MacOmber, who was selected by Walter Camp for the all-American team of 1915. Man ager Jack Spaulding has been very fortunate in arranging the schedule, which includes many of the best teams on the Pacific coast
 At present the first string eleven includes Ends, c. L. Mitchell, Ore gon 1914-15-16, Marines 1917, and High Levine, Vancouver Barracks 1918. Tackles-John Daily, St. Mary's 1916, and Chris Hampton, Northwestern.

BRITISH FLYER
 WILL ENTER NICE RACE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15 (by Assoc1- ated Press) Flying a Sopwith air plane, Captain Eric Donaldson of the British Royal flying corps will at tempt to secure the $5O,00O prize of fered by Thomas H. Ince, moving pie ture man and sportsman, for the first successful airplane flight across the Pacific ocean in the near future. Captain Donaldson, the first bona fide entrant in the contest, made visit here recently and disclosed his plans.
 Captain Donaldson is now on the way to England from his home in Aus tralia, where he has been on furlough. He expects to be discharged within the next sixty days, and will bring with him from England the Sopwith machine he will use. He has been flying with the British army for the past four years, and is regarded as one of that country's best aviators. The Sopwith machine he plans to use will be an exact duplicate of the ma. chine in which Harry Hawker made his flight across the Atlantic.
 A navigator will accompany Captain Donaldson, and his machine will be equipped with a powerful wireless set he says. He plans to make the jour ney from Venice, Cal, to a point III Australia in five jumps, stopping al Honolulu, Tanning islands, Phoenix islands and Fiji islands. At Homo lulu, he says, his regular landing geal will be supplanted by pontoons, which will enable him to land on the water
 Although twelve days are allowed in which to complete the trip, in ac cordance with the rules of the Pacific Aero Club, which is supervising tht contest, Captain Donaldson plans t' use only ten. He plans to leave Ven ice, Cal, about 4 o'clock in the after noon and expects to arrive at Homo lulu by noon of the next day

What Is the Overseas Press Saying About the

Bainville concludes that there is moth
ing in the plan in its present form that
would justify change in the system of
national defence
Pertinax, the famous anti-league
leader writer of "L'Echo de Paris" is
Of the same opinion:
eve are forced to the conclusion that
the twenty-six articles do not bring US
security. AS long they are not modified
we cannot afford to sacrifice the least item
Of our means of protection"
This pessmistic view is in marked con-
trast with the opinion Of Alfred Capus,
editor in chief of Gle Figaro" so far
one of the btterest critics of the league
plan. He says:
"rhe idea of the society of nations has
been purged, through it's contact with a
world of realities, of all its elements that
were too abstract and inapplicabe"
Georges Berthoulat, in "La Liberte,"
thinks likewise that "the important thing
is that the league of nations clips forever
the talons of the black eagle of Hohen-
zollernism."
"Le Gaulois" calls the proposed text
"a great ADVANCE" but confesses doubts
as to the final practicability of the plan.
The success depends on the good will,
not merely of the rulers, but also Of the
ruled. In other words, will feeble, un-
termined by the new obligations? "The
foundations of new world are laid to
such extent we greet the victory Of Pres
ident Wilson. 1t remains to- build up the
cdifice; it's strength will depend on the
skill Of the workers.
"L'Homme Libre," Che paper founded
by Clemcnceau, strikes in it's comment
the "wait and see" note. The league Of
nations is still mere project, it says, a
we'll formulated and serious project, it
is true, but one on which each dclcga-
tion has reserved it's ultimate stand.
Moreover, the text conceived by the
plenipotentiaries has to be ratified by
the peoples back home. "Idealism has
descended into reality, but it is up to
the peoples to see that it remains there"
The conservative "Rappcl," on the
other hand, denounces the plan vehc-
mently:
From now on, the idc?logists may be
satisfied Jdcoiogy is triumphant, and the
French poiIus know nt least what they
have fought for After winning the war,
nothing remains for them to do but to paw
it's expenses"

riere della Sera," of Milan. This news
paper calls the announcement of the
league constitution an historical event
comparable to the suppression of slavery,
the PRONUNCIATION of religious liberty and
the abolition of caste privilege. It
achieved personal victory in that he
succeeded in obtaining the general set
tlement first, the principles of which will
be applied to the solution of detail
problems. Peace will thus be made, not
in casual cropping, but in deductive,
architectural" fashion. But the paper
warns against the optimism OF those who
would see in the plan the universal
panacea. The mere existence of the
league of nations does not preclude fut-
ure clashes between nations.
TO LA Stampa," Of Turin, organ of
Giolltti and the neutralists, the issue ap-
pears as contest between Wilson and
Clemenceau; and in the opinion of the
paper it is Clemenceau who has tri-
umphed. "The spirit Of which the league
OF nations was born is the spirit of Will
son; but the form in which it was en-
bodied is the form of Clemenceau." If
the league of nations is to be a real
symbol of the fraternity of peoples, it
ought not to exclude any state, any ma
ton. AS it is the project means simply
a closer alliance of peoples banded to-
gether for the defence of their interests.
1T is more formidable alliance than
those of old, but it is still founded on
the old concepts of balance of power and
exclusive national interests.
Again, "LIdea Nazionale," organ of
the extreme nationalists, enlarges upon
the effective participation of Italian
statesmen in the framing Of the project.
1t strives to reassure its readers by as
sertng that the league will never be
more concrete entity than the Paris con-
ferense itself. 1t will be Simply new
agency of diplomacy. 1t will not in
fringe upon the sovereignty of the sew
eral states and will function merely
through the self-constraint of it's
members.

the extreme Socialists, is equally out
spoken in his disapproval. He says in
L'Humanite"
ut is impossible for US to conceal the
establishment caused by the first perusal
of this lengthy covenant. Even the most
ohtuse can that we have landed very
far from the original proposals of Presi-
dent Wilson,"
Cachin asserts that Wilson is the only
member Of the Council of Ten who sim
cerely believes in the league of nations,
and that he had to fight the opposition
of not only the French, but also the
British representatives. Then he con-
tinues

nations to the new league as are chosen

This was the situation Premier Lloyd
George had to meet when he returned
to London for the opening of Parlia-
ment at the same time that President
Wilson came to America for the clos
ing of Congress and to present the
league of nations constitution to the
American people. Lloyd George at
tackled the labor situation in England

fled the views of those opposed 20 it. On
the other hand, '"The Times" which al
ways advocated the league, said on the
morning the text of the proposed con-
stitution was made public:
"Those who thought that the league of
nations was only a project of international
amiability will change their minds when
they read the covenant published to-day.
They will realize that the conference is in
deadly earnest and that the whole project
is one that will make history-we hope q
happier history than that of the last four
years"
In discussing the details of the plan
1.-The Times" hazards the prophecy that
"a great deal of the history of the league
is likely to be taken up with disputes BE-
tween the lower house and the executive
of the great powers"-that is, between
the body Of delegates, in which every ma
ton has an equal voice, and the execu-
tive council, in which the five great DOW
ers have clear majority
"The London Morning Post" fought
the league hard, but now that the con-
stitution is out it is sarcasticallv recon-
ciled because it finds the league "our
old and tried friend the Entente. with
the United States made full member. },
1.-The Globe" remains as bitterly hostile
as ever, and also objects to President
Wilson'S methods in trying to force the
adoption of the league constitution.
1--WE are prepared" declares "The
New Witness" ITO agree that the insti-
tuition of league OF nations progresses
