Concede Dope Favors Navy.
The football squad. which left
here this morning, will not return
home until Sunday afternoon. While
the Army comedies that the dope
favors the Navy tomorrow, close
followers of the soldier team are
satisfied that IL has made consider
able progress during the past fort
night.
1t is well equipped with plays
and has an eager, aggressive per-
sonnel which knows considerable
football. 1t has been carefully
groomed for this game and every
man Is in the pink of physical con-
dition and ready to fight to the

The Army teams departure from
here this morning was in marked
contrast to that which reports from
Annapolis indicate was accorded the
Midshipmen when they left for New
York yesterday.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Nov. 26.-Inter-
est is intense among the Midship-

the trip to New York tomorrow and
the game against the Military

Army stands one game ahead in
the series. and the belief here is
that the Navy will make 1t even

1t is thought here that the Navy

it lacks a real star like French OF

Friendly Hand in War Camps Over There and Among Aliens Here
"Y" Work in War Prison Camp

fed, on the basis of his four years
experience, during which some ninety
camps were visited one or more times,
to state that the treatment of the
prisoners of war in Germany was as
prevalent conditions"
There We're one hundred and fifty
or more prison camps and thousands
of working detachments" with about
$500 900 prisoners. Naturally it was
quite impossible to cover the whole
field Mr.. Hoffman's record is none
the less valuable, though 1t does not
pretend TO be a complete survey.
And there can be no two opinions
about the value and vast Importance
of the work done by the Y. M. C. A.
among these prisoners. Mr.. Hoffman
worked with an American staff until
after the United States entered the
war and was allowed to remain, him
self. to the end, in charge, but obliged
to make use of neutral assistants,
eleven Swiss and Scandinavians, dur
ing the closing years.
The work was beset with difficulties
from the start 1t was not easy tc
secure the German official permission.
and all that was done had to be done
under the closest surveillance. On the
other hand, especially at first, the
prisoners were shy. '"The very lib
erality." says Mr.. Hoffman, 'of our
permit aroused suspicion among the
prisoners who naturally as
sumed because of my liberties that 1
must be an agent of the Germans,
sent in under cloak of the Y. M. c. A.
to spy" But this difficulty lessened
as the men became convinced of the
sincerity of the effort to help, and very
soon the secretaries resources were
strained to the limit.
Some slight idea of the scope and
vigor of the welfare work may be
glimpsed from the report of one sec
retary who visited twenty -four camps
during four months, the total number
of visits being lit. and included In a
partial list Of his results the compile
ton and dedication of two Y. M. c. A.
churches, religious talks to British
prisoners, the collection of $40 articles
of handicraft for sale, the supplying
of musical instruments, tools. books,
and especially athletic equipment and
indoor games, stereopticons. the pro-
curing Of special religious books and
materials for the Russian Orthodox,
the Roman Catholic priests and other
sects, and. of course. a mass of in
formational work. such as making up
lists of prisoners and arranging for
parcels from home, &C.
He gives one picturesque item illus
trating the difficulty of supplying some
of these wants. The antimensid is a
special form of altar cloth required

person to touch the cloths. The puzzle
was how to get them in past the Ger
man censor and other officials with
out ruinous proclamation. But they
solved 1t.
1.-The Russian Synod at Petrograd
contributed a dozen Of these cloths,
and after they had been blessed de-
livered them carefully wrapped and
sealed to one of the Russian Red
Cross sisters who was proceeding to
Austria. Careful telegraphic
report was made to us as to the date
of her arrival at the Danish h-German
frontier. We in turn secured the SER
vices of the Greek Catholic priest at
tached to the Greek Embassy at Ber-
lin getting permission for him, after
considerable red tape, to accompany
the writer to Wartemunde, through
which the Red Cross sister was to
come. Here we met the latter, who
turned over the sealed package con-
tanning the altar cloths to the Greek
priest in the presence of the German
censors and customs officials.
The priest then opened the parcel and
one by one held up the individual altar
cloths for the scrutinizing gaze of
the German officials, carefully holding
them at a distance to prevent sacri-
legious defilement."
1t is such services as these that go
to keep up the morale of the prisoner.
Such prison life is, at best, profoundly
depressing. Cases of insanity were
numerous, and doubtless would have
been much more frequent but for the
aid, encouragement and diversion af-
forded the men by the help of these
Y. NJ. c. A. missionaries. II was in

other, even more pernicious, in the
misguided attempts to "Americanize"
the immigrant, to build him over in
conformity to some supposed Ameri-
can standard instead of helping him
to develop his own cultural and group
qualities in harmony with existing
American conditions. He thinks such
"Americanization' is futile: the melt
ing pot hasn't melted and can't melt
the refractory material in anything
like the way some enthusiasts have
supposed.
Neither the economic nor the ethnic

quate. In comprehensive immigra-
ton law framed with the synthetic
view of the problem in mind, all three
policies, selection, distribution, and In
corporation, would find a legitimate
and logical place. Moreover. selection
and distribution would be conceived as
prerequisites to genuine incorpora-
tion."
The author, who is on the faculty
of Smith College, develops the thesis
that American civilization has always
been composite, that it is becoming
progressively more and more so, and
that the thing to do is to admit the
fact, make use of all that is good in
new material, aiding 1t to extend its
own lines; and to encourage, rather
than hinder, further hybridization. His
argument is admirably presented, and,
doubtless. he has the basic facts as to
what has happened, and is happening.
1t is idle to hope to guide the United
States along the lines laid down over
century ago by statesmen of English
derivation. This Is the summing up:
America with her unique expert
ence Of multiform contacts of races
and peoples is in a position to invest
the concept Of democracy with a
broader and richer meaning than any
nation has done thus far. She can,
If she will, set to work to mould her

If she will, develop the principle of

to do. She can, II she will, make of
herself the greatest democratic repub-

by the fact that a post card showing

Yet at Ruhleben was developed the
most striking feature Of such camps
in the "Grandstand University" which
grew to large proportions. with fac

courses-in short, all the features of

California Seventy Years Ago

THE DIARY OF A FORTY-NINER.
Edited by c. L. Garfield. Houghton
Mfiin Company.
When the earthquake struck San
Francisco in 1906 it destroyed, among
other things, the plates and nearly all
the copies of book that depicted
faithfully the life of California only
fifty years distant in time, but far
more than that In manners. This
volume. THE Diary of a Forty miner"
now issues from the press for
the first time, and should win the
popularity that only a CONFUSION of
nature could prevent it from gaining
fourteen years ago. There is temp
tation to call this diary of Albert T.
Jackson, a pioneer miner in Nevada
county, California, during the years
1850. 1851 and 1852, a human docu-
ment. II document did not seem too
imposing a term for this simple and
ingenious unfolding of a moving
story there is a similar temptation
to say that this diary is as thrilling
as a novel, but the truth is that IL is
much more thrilling than a novel.
There is the triangle that one en-
counters in the ordinary novel, but
this is no ordinary triangle: Con-
necticut Yankee, out to win fortune
in the gold fields OF California; Hetty
North the girl who was to wait for
him. back home. until he made his
fortune and came back to claim her;
and Marie. "the foreign woman" who
finally won Jackson. There is the old
story of Jonathan and David, retold
In cabin on Rock Creek of Jackson
and "Pard," an attractive figure who
later became one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in California. Nothing
is lacking in this diary; there is the
weak younger brother of Hetty North,
who comes to his death in gambling
hall in Frisco, and thus causes the
first breach between Hetty and jack
son; there is the story of a queer
couple" who lived on Round Noun
tain, and of the grim tragedy that
brought that chapter to close; there
is the strange disappearance and
death OF Carter and Ristine, two
miners there Is the episode of Jack,
the dog.
IL there were not the most con-
vincing evidence that the diary Is au-
thentic the book would be suspicious
ly dramatic and thrilling; and yet the
final proof of its authenticity lies in
the artless and naive manner of the
narrator Of all these events.
1t is interesting to see the gradual
change In this manner, brought about
by the influence of "Pard." In 1850, In
the first pages of the diary when
Jackson was living alone, he was
mainly concerned with the odor of the
salt pork that was the main article OF
his diet, with the prices that he had
to pay for supplies and with the re-
counting of his daily operations at the
creek But in 1851, when "Pard" has
been living with Jackson for time.
