Bates Debaters
Win Over Yale

Lewiston. Dec. 11-Bates defeated
Yale here tonight in joint debate on
the question: Resolved: That A b
c powers be invited by the United
States to cooperate in the establish
ment over Joint protectorate over
Haiti. The decision Ct the judges
was unanimous. The Bates speakers
outshone their opponents from every
angle.
The local trio had the negative side
Of the question. Their main argu-
ments centered on the fact that the
proposed protectorate would under
mine the Monroe Doctrine, create dis
trust among the South American
countries not invited 70 participate in
the plan and eventually endanger
American control of the Panama
Canal.
Yale's reasons for adopting the
scheme were that it would straighten
out the tangled international situa-
ton now existing in Haiti and also
show the world that the United
States has no selfish interests in
South America.
Bates was represented by William

PORTLAND WOMAN HURT
IN AUTO-TROLLEY. CRASH

Portland, Dec. 11-Five occupants of
a Ford touring car driven by w. w.
Mcfarland Of 1879 Congress street were
given a severe shaking up on Friday
night when their car was struck by q
trolley on Brighton avenue. Mrs. Let
tie Mcfarland. wife of the driver, was
pinned in the car and 1t was necessary
to pry open door Of the car with an
iron bar in order to extricate her
from the wreckage.
AS Mcfarland swung his car into
Dartmouth street, an outward bound
trolley hove in sight 1t was showing
heavily at the time. The front end of
the trolley struck the rear Of the au-
tomobile and broke. one of the wheels.
One side Of the machine was slashed
as IL by-a gigantic knife. The axel of
the broken wheel dropped to the road
way and acting as a pivot helped to
swing the machine about. After the
accident the machine was pointed in
the opposite direction to which it had
been travelling.
The handles of one of the doors was
snapped off. 1t was necessary to pry
open this door in order to reach Mrs
Mcfarland who was unconscious. The
other occupants escaped injury. Mrs.
Mcfarland was sitting on the side of
the machine through which the trolley
nearly ploughed. She was wedged In
to the rear Of the car by the collision.
A nearby physician was summoned
and after administering first aid. ar
rangements were made to take the in
jured woman to her home. Later her
physician said that 1t was possible
she had sustained internal injuries in
addition to severe shaking up.

Constantine Makes
Ready to Take Family
to Athens. Greece

Lucerne, Dec. ll-(By the "A. ~
Preparations virtually have been COM
pleted for the departure of former
King Constantine of Greece and mis-
family for Venice next Tuesday on
the first stage of their journey to
Athens. The royal baggage, consist
ing of 220 heavy trunks and boxes
was taken to the railroad station to-
day.
The special car in which Constan-
tine and his family will travel will
be attached to the regular train. At
first it was thought that only ordinary
Accommodations could be obtained for
the returning Monarch. Constantine
and his family posed today for a
group Of newspaper photographers.
1t is said these are to be the last
pictures to be taken in Switzerland.
The members of Constantine's
household are still bewildered by the
unexpected refusal Of the Greek gov
eminent to allow Professor Georgtous
STREET and M. Papparagopoulo, adj
visers to Constantine. to return to
Greece. Today they expressed wonder
as to how the situation would end
and whether followers of Constan-
tine now in Greece would be exiled.
1t is freely predicted among the
Greeks here that M. Gounaris and
other Greek statesmen of the former
Constantine regime might find 1t adj
visable to leave Greece voluntarily
in the interest of ampable relations
between Greece and the Allied Ma
tons Immediately after Constantine
reaches Athens.
Constantine and Queen Sophie, ac-
cording to members of their house,
hold. are expected to take leading
part in urging reforms in Greece. 1t
is said that they will try to be more
democratic than they were before they
were sent into exile. Constantine. it
is said. probably will urge legislation
for improved labor conditions, agri-
cultural reforms and a betterment of
the situation Of the poor, while Queen
Sophie hopes to head movement for
