WARNS GERMANS
NOT TO BREAK
Says COuntry's Position Cannot be I'm
proved by Such
Action

BERLIN, March l4.-Dr. Walter ST
mons, the foreign secretary, delivered
a 90-mInute speech in the Reichstag
Saturday, during which he gave an elab-
crate exposition of the proceedings at
London. The tone of the speech was
ngtlceable for its extreme moderation
he speaker appeared to question
whether the allied demands had been
rightly estimated in Germany.
I must say DIR. Simons declared.
that when one comes face to face with
the recent reparations conference in
our opponents in London, when one
hears what the situation is in their
countries and under Nyhat distress and
cares they themselves are labOring. il
becomes clear that their demands are
not inspired merely by the intOXicatiOn
of victory or lust for power, but that
extraordinarily heavy troubles and dis
treSs in their own countries
While stOutlv maintaining the alleged
illcgalitv of the penalties. he declared
he was strongly opposed to runtUring re-
lations with the allies because our po-
siti0n in the world l. not such that it
could be improved by a breach DIR.
Simons admitted that it was possible
to get better world perspective from
London than from Berlin and thereby
realize how general the opinion Is that
Germany was in the wrong and has not
done enough to requite that wrong.
If we now resorted to severe meas
ures," said Or. SimOns. this would
only be regarded as confirmation of that
opinion. and we should lose all that
good will we so sorely need to eNtricate
Us from our great difficulties"
DR.. Simons described the proposed
lew on German goods as "a gross
blundcr for the allies themselves" be

with Germany into the hands OF. specu-
Iators and hopelessly impede the for

Our Vermont Brick Oven.

The man that built cur old brick house
Was no construction sloven,
The fireplace count run up TO four
Besides n big brick oven;
But one dob day there came scout
| think his name was Mason,
And tore that oven right straight out
Confound that Greenbush mason.
We children stood around perplexed,
Our little cheeks all palor;
Twas like a horde of Huns inside
The Baths of Caracalla
He broke the oven door as though
Twas lest waShdiSh basin:
His Sledge rained blow on awful blow
That rough and ready mason.
The kitchen fireplace went as we'll
The crane a-swinging in IT
That Grandma Trip had used for years,
He smashed il in a minute;
He pitched the fire-dogs out the door,
Like one sent forth to chasten,
He barked the chairs and scratched the
Gol-drat that Greenbush mason.
We didn't know, we little folks,
Our good brownbread was going,
And chicken pie, with biscuit crust,
That set your voice to growing;
We never S'poSed the crock-baked beans
To which we used to hasten,
Would turn to Stewed ones ere our teens
To please a Greenbush mason.
They carted off the broken bricks
And made rubbish quarry,
And there we used to go and stand
And look and jest be sorry;
If I'd a-been an Argonaut,
! believe I'd sailed like Jason
l believe Id sailed and sailed and caught
That wOolIy Greenbush mason.
We children save the oven scOop
That grams thin hands had cherished
And hid it in the lean-tO shed
Or else that. too. had persisted:
Some DAY that house may cross my track
And if so. watch me hasten
To put that oven right straight back.
A-ieSt to spite that mason.

is a good deal OF difference between
the two systems. The Yale attack is
really simpler than the Princeton
offense but built along very sound
lines. Last year, Yale had a good
defense and a couple OF strong plays
inside OF tackle-no open game and
no forward passing attack. This year,
they have a very good open game and
we'll conceived and well executed
forward passing attack.
Aldrich and O'Hearn are brilliant
in an open field and constitute a con
slant threat.
The Princeton attack is a little more
complicated, but II properly executed,
dangerous. and think our forward
passing game In fairly well conceived
Lourie is a more finished quarter
back than O'Hearn and even more dan
geroLs In the open field. Garrity Is
the best line breaker on either team
Both hackfields size up pretty well
though | wouldn't trade our own com
bination for anything Yale can offer.
In kicking, Aldrich can probably
punt further than any man on either
team If he kicks from close behind
tn. lire OF sCrimmage the Yale ends
will have TO be alert While Lourie
doesn't get quite as much distance In
his punts, his kicks are very well
placed and easy TO cover. The Prince
ton team was down on them so well
last Saturday that Buell. made fair
catch of everyone. and think showed
the part of wisdom in so doing.
Should Have Edge.
It would seem TO he the Princeton
linesmen ought to have a trifle the
edge on their opponents, although the
Yale forwards arc big and ransy and
look like a typical old Yale rush line.
Captain Keck Ia the best linesman on
either team. Into and Cruikshank at
left guard and left tackle look like the
best two forwards on the Yale team.
They use their hands well. Into Ia
the fastest man down the field on
kicks In tho Yale line lie often beats
tho ends, and is hard, aggressive
tackle when he does get down.
Last fall. Lourie and Murrey ran at
will around the Yale ends whose play
was miserable. The Yale coaches rec
ognizod this and planned accordingly.
( This year, Yalc's end play has been
distinctly good. There are three or
four men who know how 10 play the
position well. Snively and Sttnson,
the Princeton wingmen, improved ire
mendously in their play against Har-
ward. Stinson got much better as the
game went on. I don't anticipate Yale
will have the marked superiority which
was apparent a few weeks ago.
While ! have every confidence IN
the Princeton team, l think II would
be ridiculous to predict the outcome
of this game. Roth teams are In tho
pink OF condition; both will play At
the top Of their game. penalty. a
break in the luch such as a muffed
punt. an intercepted forward pass or
a mistsckle may decide the game.
