footing and perfect football weather

footing and perfect football weather
to-day.
The renewal OF the football games
has drawn to New Haven "old grads"
of new and ancient vintage, and the
prospects al that the Yale Bowl will
be crowded to its enormous capacity Of
$4,000. The Yale undergraduates yes
terday rehearsed the famous "Under-
taker Song of YALE" the lugubrious
chant that the Blue rooters raise when
Yale starts off with rush. Of all
football songs, this perhaps is the most
aggravating to an opponent. OF late
ers always have tried to drown it out
or yell it down.
Change Coaching Methods
Yale and Princeton both have
changed their coaching methods this
year The defeat of the Blue in one of
the early games has caused some spec
ulation as to the methods of DR.. Al
Sharpe, but his policy of accepting a
fairly hard schedule and putting the
Yale players through a strenuous pre-
liminary grind seems to be pretty well
vindicated. The methods of Lieutenant
Bill Roper, of Princeton were justified
by the results of last Saturdays
Princeton Harvard game.
Unlike Harvard both Yale and
Princeton had some hard preliminary
games. Harvard's easy schedule was
shown to have had demoralizing effect
upon the Crimson team when it went
up against the real battling spirit thai
is in the Tiger eleven. In fact, that
Princeton game still is causing consid
cradle anxiety at Cambridge. Thi:
anxiety may increase as a result of to-
days game.
While the "dope" says Yale this af
ternoon, the "dope," as has been dem
onstrated many times this season, i:
implicitness. Whatever the result may
be. the battle of the Tiger and the Bull
dog to-day surely will be one to be re
membered.

Medina Capitulates Under Terms of
Turkish Armistice

London, Jan. 1.-THE Turks who
have been holding out in Medina,
holy city of the Mohammedan faith,
have capitulated to the King of the
Hedjaz, it was officially announced
here yesterday. The capitulation was
under The terms of the Turkish armis
tice. Announcing the capitulatior
and explaining the delay in securing
It. the official statement says:
".rhe holy city of Medina has ca
pitnlated to King Hussein under the
Turkish armisticc terms. The delay
in bringing the garrison to compli-
ance with the terms was due to its
long isolation, which necessitated our
permitting the interchange os special
communications with Constantinople
and 10 permit this armistice period to
be prolonged locally. 1t was rendered
incumbent upon King Hussein to Sc
cure the capitulation by arrangement
and not by assault.
"The Amir Abdulla, representing
the King Of the Hedjaz, officially en-
tered Medina at Il a. M. Monday. He
was enthusiastically acclaimed and
proceeded to the tomb Of the prophet,
where he offered the midday prayer"

HUMBLED BISMARCK
Vatican Was First Power to Clash
With the New Prussianlsm

Rome. Jan. 17.-Bisnlarck negotla-
ted with the last of the Popes to
leave the Vatican walls-Pope Plus
TX.
The passing of German power may
see the self-inforced Imprisonment
of the head of the Roman Catholic
Church ended.
Proposals are on foot for re-
newal of friendly relations between
the Italian Government and the
Papal See.
Bismarck's negotiations with Plus
TX came at the time of the Franco
Prussian War. a few weeks before
the defeat OF the French at Sedan.
The German leader asked the Pope
to use his influence with the French
clergy in the interest of what IS now
known as "a German peace"
The Pope and the French clergy
both heard the proposition without
enthusiasm, and Bismarck declared:
"The Papal hierarchy lacks either ene
power or the good will 10 afford Ger
manv assistance enough to make 1t
worth while"
Thus the Vatican became the hrs'
power to come into the clash with
the new Prussianism after the fall
Of Napoleon at Sedan.

manding admission at the gates OF
Heaven. Al the Pope's gird!e nllne

FOOD PRICES TO STAND
No Appreciable Drop in Sight. Says
Wholesale GrOcers' Head

New York, Jan. 17.-There is no
Immediate hope of an appreciable
reduction in food prices. according to
Sylvan L.. Stix, president of the
Wholesale Grocers' Association, in
addressing the annual convention Of
that body held here Wednesday. Mr..
Stix declared that the process of re-
adjusting food prices will extend over
= number of years and probably will
never revert to the old standard.
One reason was the increased produc-
ton of gold.
Domestic ard foreign demand would
fully take care of food stocks now
n sight until the new crop period,

Drastic Conditions
To Germany


: The Central News of London de.
.lares that as d result of the Allied
discussions in Paris, the whole as.
,ect of demobilization has undergone
u sudden and vital change, this be-
ing shown in the drastic conditions
demanded of Germany for a renewal
Of the armistice.
"On authority of an unimpeach
able character" says the Centra
News, at can be stated that situa-
ion exists in Europe under which
war may break out again at any mo,
ment. The Allied War Council has.
arrived at decision which means
that the British people have mistaken
he appearance of peace for reality.
This decision means that the New
British Ministry must revise The whole
scheme of army rehabilitation. !.
"The decision is that Great Britain
in proportion TO it's military strength
must maintain an army of occupation
on the Rhine for many months. L
.he rapid increase. IN denobilizatior
recently announced were continued,
there would, in few months, be NJ

every side in Europe is claiming

all to win the war.
There are two causes that pro
duced sudden collapse of the. German
army. First it was a unity of com.
mand when accomplished. Gen. Per.
shing's action surprised them. He
mobilized the American army and won
with forty divisions. There never wa
a better army in the world than the
American army that faced the Ger
man in Argonne Forest.

"St. Mhiel proved to be the key
that unlocked the door to get the Ger

NEW WORLD IDEALS
Settlement of War Terms Will be Die
1ated by RepresentatiYes of Era


tated by Representatives of Era
Paris, Jan. 17.--The peace settle
ment will be dictated by representa-
tives of the New World, fral appor-
tionment of conference delegates iudi-
cate.
The ''balance Of power' seems to be
closely divided between the New and
Old-World elemeits, but there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the progress
sive altruism Of the young democra-
cies will triumph over the conserva-
tive egoism Of the older nations IN
the final clash.
Of the twenty-cigft countries Off
cially admitted to the conferences to
date, nine represent the New World
and eleven the Old World, with the re-
naming eight inclined to lean towarc
the younger powers. As voting will
be by delegations; the new world vote
consists of the United States, Cam
ada, Brazil, Cuba, Hayti, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
The Old World representatives are
Great Britain, France, Italy, Serbia.
Belgium, Greece, Poland, Rumania,
Czccho-Slovakia and Montenegro. Ii
IBERIA, being under American protec-
ton, probably will line up with the
New World representatives. 1t is re-
garded as certain that they also will
attract the votes of the British do
minions, which, while intimately re-
lated to the mother country, possess
a thought and psychology that is cs-
sentially New World. This is cspe-
cia!ly true Of Australia. New Zealand
and South Africa.
The remaining vote consists OF Ja-
pan, China, India and Siam, which
are neither New World nor Old World,
but are expected to play an important
role by swinging the balance one way
or the other on questions where the
vote IS close.
1t is already apparant, however.
that it is an error TO consider tie
European participants as solid
block. While Great Britain. France,
and Italy may show strong tend
ency to influence traditional Euro
pean viewpoints, several smaller ma
tions. such as Serbia, Greece and
Rumania, openly admit the only hope
for their national aspirations is the
triumph of President Wilson's prin-
ciples. These represent the new
worlds ideals, of which the American
delegation is rapidly becoming the
leading champion and around which
the New World thinkers are rallying.
From the above line-ups it can be
accepted that, despite the cioseness
of division in voting power, the New
World will determine the future for
all the peoples.
