NEW YORK, Dec. 13-In commenting upon the qualifications of the various players selected for his first eleven, Walter Camp writes as follows in Col Hers Weekly;
 "The lineup of the All-America of 1919 presents the most powerful and versatile aggregation of players that has been on the gridiron for a long time. It is practically all veteran ma rerial educated in the modern game. There Is no man on it who has not developed to the full the possibilities of his position. It is combination of strong, hard hitting, powerful and ex- perienced players, with a line of eX- septional physique to find and open holes: tight on defense and with a oackfield, combining speed and power m running, with strong interference for each other in a most remarkable way. lt has men who can not only make for ward passes, but receive them. It has short and long distance accurate drop ldckers, a long distance punter and a quarterback who never muffs and wl.o is not only sturdy but extremely slusive when once started down the field with the ball. There is also to work with him a man who is a speed demon and ever ready to take some of the kicks and run them back, thus making the most dangerous combina- lion to the opponents.

COYOTE-TOLEDOG CAME. 0FF; PHOENIX UNABLE
 T0 BEAR b|G EXPENSE

Because Scott High of Toledo, Ohio, demanded a s5,000 guarantee for game, the Phoenix Coyote squad has been obliged to discontinue negotia- tions for a game with the eastern eleven. The proposed game was ten tatively scheduled to have been played in Los Angeles, Christmas day.
 Refusal of coast schools to give the Toledo eleven game and thus bear part of the expense necessary to bring the team west, was practically respon- sible for the local teams failure to conclude arrangements for the game.
 Phoenix high has been willing and anxious and is still willing to meet the Toledo eleven on almost any grid iron, but the squad is in no position to offer a s5,000 guarantee for such a game. An offer of $2,o00 was made, which was the absolute limit, but the Toledo authorities announced that the team could not be moved for con- sideration less than the amount above stated
 Negotiations are still pending with the football committee of the Tourna ment of Roses for a game at Pasa- dena, New Years day, those in charge of the local end of the arrangements announced last evening.

.THRACE PROBLEM
NEARS SOLUTION
SATISFYING ALL
Former Bulgarian Territory to
Be InternationaIized, Leav-
Ing Bulgaria Access to
Sea.
BY WARWICK THOMPSON,
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
lSpeCiaI Cable Dispatchl

Paris, Aug IAN amicable solu,
ton of the Thracian problem is in
sight, and with it the chief obstacle
to the conclusion of peace with Bull
garia will be removed. A high
American peace official tells me a
compromise is under consideration
which, if agreed on, will stay the
hand of Greece, which has been
threatening to follow Roumania' S
action, and take what it wants, 1eav-
ing the diplomatic talking for a
later date.
The Americans fight in behalf OF
Bulgaria is virtually lost, but the
proposed compromise does not, at
least, take the whole of Thracc
away from it. 1t provides for an
Decentralization of Thrace as a
separate state, permitting the Bull
garians free access by rail to the
Aegean sea and giving the Greeks
both sides of the proposed state, as
we'll as a port on the Black sea.
There are indications that the
plan may be satisfactory to Greece,
though it has been holding out for
the whole of Thrace.
Thrace has been for weeks thorn
in the side of the peace conference
and had threatened to take on the
aspect OF Fiume of the near east.
AS in the Adriatic problem, the
Americans sided with the party
which stood to lose access to the
sea, a menace which Americans be-
lieve to contain vicious seeds of flu
ture troubles. But while America
has been upholding Bulgaria in this
controversy, its attitude has been
equally fair and friendly toward the
Greeks, who, though aching to take
by force what they realized the
peace conference would not give
them without Americas consent, ap-
preciated thoroughly the value of
friendship and good will of the
United States, and, therefore, wisely
restrained their martial spirit.
Much, however, still depends upon
whether America is willing to take
the mandate for Constantinople and
Armenia. Eleutharios Venizelos,
the Greek premier, has played a
shrewd and careful game throughout
the peace deliberations. He is con-
cedcdly one of the strong statesmen
Of Europe, and his main strength
rests upon his faculty for keeping
his head and biding his time. He is
still watching events calmly without
positively committing himself one
way or the other. His powerful in
tluence, however, has been instru-
mental in restraining the strong ele-
ments in Greece WHICH, angered by
the vacillating policy of the peace
conference, clamored for warlike &C
ton. Seeing Roumania get away
with it" in Hungary, these Greek in
terests urged similar action against
Bulgaria on the theory that, what
we have once taken we'll keep" But
Venizelos, who has statesmanlike
vision, reasoned with these sword
rattlers, his main argument being
that Uncle Sam IS with us and he
is a good friend to keep"

months of debate and which be.
came effective this week, is divided
into two main parasitic "compo.
sition and ties of the empire" and
the basic rights and basic duties Of
Germans.
The preamble to the constitution
begins as follows;
The German people, united in its
branches and inspired by the will
to renew and strengthen its empire
i'll freedom and justice, to further
inner and outer peace and social
advance, has voted this constitu-
ton
Section one declares the German
empire is republican state, sover-
eighty being based on the people.
1t describes the territorial limits OF
the empire. establishes the imperial
colors as being black, red and gold
and states that the generally recog-
nized rules of international law will
be held as binding on the empire.
The empire will have exclusive leg

fairs, colonies, citizenship, immigra-
ton, defense, coinage, customs,
posts, telegraphs and long distance
telephones, re-population, mother

employees, confiscation, care of
wounded soldiers and their relatives,

The constitution lays down rules

yes. and the eight-hour scale
should include a provision for adult
farm laborers only" interrupted
Governor Beckett. The solution OF
conditions today cannot be reached
while women and children are per
mitted to do heavy manual labor on
the farm. With the revolution OF
economic conditions now in pro
gress, women and children must be
freed from the slavery of heavy
work in the fields.
The most pitiful sight l ever wit
messed is mothers in the south
blowing in the cotton fields and
watching over their infants in box
fastened to the plow and every
available Older child doing their
bit for the family in another part
of the field. This exploitation Of
women and children must cease.
II want you to tell the people of
the glorious state of Nebraska that
the cheap cotton goods they pur-
chase today are made possible by
the women and children of the south
being slaves in the cotton fields and
factories. Provisions must and will
be made for male labor to supplant
them"
Eight governors were reported to
have left Chicago last night for the
conference. When the two long sec
tons of the Overland Limited ar
rived in Omaha, railroad officials
were still unsuccessfully searching
the crowded cars for the balance of
their distinguished passengers. No
trace of the six missing eastern
statesmen had been found when the
train departed from Omaha.
