 Devalera affected his landing on Irish soil yesterday, Roland said, but he had received no other particulars.
 Roland said Devalera's object in returning to Ireland was to assume active leadership of the provisional government and press forward the cause of the Irish insurgents"
 Roland declared Devalera accom- plished a marvellous feat in circum venting the British blockade.
 Devalera's farewell message to the people of the United States was made public, in which he referred to Amer ica as "the land of generous hearted people and liberty's chosen cham pion."

he winds that from the Northland blow, From regions of eternal snow. At midnight now are chanting low
 Their Miserere drear. The while the Old Year, bent and gray Goes desolate upon its way, A King without realm to sway,
 Like sad discrowned Lear. In silent woods low droops the fern, And seems for summers flowers to yearn; But holly berries gleam and burn,
 To grace the Old Year bier; And from the blue of heavens expanse The stars look down with plying glance, And softened seems the radiance
 Of moon at midnight clear. The Old Year passes lo he stands And watches Times fast falling sands, Like dying flames from dying brands
 That will quench their light; And now last flame htful throws Its Aickering light o CT wintry snows, And lights the way the Old Year goes
 To distant realms of night But, while we stand, silent, devout, Ger eastern hills, old Times redoubt, There comes gladdening Haill'' and shout, That brings to us new cheer. For Twenty-One both 1.-the and young, With merry peal from glad bells flung, Has come with joys as yet unsung-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. (by AS sociated Press) s).-Ohio State. univer- sitys football team, which plays the University of California eleven today at Pasadena, Cal, while famed as a last minute finisher and a great forward passing aggregation, also has plenty of defense strength and abil ity to present a straight football of fensive in which line plunges and off tackle dashes predominate.
 The straight football attack cen ters around Pete Stinchcomb, all western conference halfback, who bucks the line despite his weight of only 155 pounds, or circles the ends for long gains.
 Next to Stinchcomb, William, the 2O5 pound fullback, probably is the greatest aid to his teams straight football offensive.
 Hoge Workmen, at quarter, is the 2o5 pound fullback, probably is the best forward passer in the middle west and an excellent kicker.
 Blair and Henderson, who alter nate at the other halfback positions while not as strong extensively as Stinchcomb, form splendid interfer- ence. Both are good on the defense.
 At end Myers is a good depen- dable tackler and a sure receiver of passes. On the other end, Sly ker and Noel Wprkmen alternate steady players. Workman is adept at receiving his brothers forward passes and Slyker, while not so good at this angle of the game, excells in general defensive work.
 Captain Hoffman, a tackle, is a power at opening holes or block ing plunges. Spyers, the other tackle, proves good running mate for the teams captain, while Trott to give the tackles any help they may need.
 Coach Wilcie also has good ar ray of substitutes, c. Taylor, parti- cularly, being virtually of varsity caliber. While not the equal of Willaman, Taylor held down the po- sition with credit when the former was injured during the season,

(BY COL. WINFIELD JoNEs)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 (by Associ- ated Press) What are the chances of the peace treaty and the League of Nations in the Senate, at this ses- sion and the next congress?
 This question is engaging the at tention of members of the senate and also of agitators who originally advocated the league and who are still bent on league. some sort of a league or any kind of a league, just so long as it is a league" These advocates seem to be obscessed with the name and not what the league means. It seems to have a fascina- tion for them that leads them to pur- sue the impossible. So they are still talking about a league and if they cannot get a league, why, an "Associ, ation of Nations" will do just as well. All their enthusiasm can be readily transferred from a league to an Association"
 Opponents of the league among the people, convinced that the results of the November election forever settled the league question in this country, are not paying any more at. tention to the scheme.
 Senators, knowing equally well that the league is dead past all resurrec- tion also are apathetic concering the eace-de-resistance of the Will. son dream. This applies in the sen- ate to both proponents and oppon- ents of the celebrated pact.
