left them to their own devices. Well
it is beginning to look as if I come
home too soon.
AS I understood it at the time. the
reason for all the nations getting
together was to see il maybe they
wasn't some way to fix it SO as we
wouldn't have no more war or at
lease, lesson the danger of haveing
same. And that is what the boys
started out to do, but in the last few
wks. as near as can make ont they
been devoteing their tension to pre-
parations for another. war and what
laws is going to govern conduct OF
same and you would pretty near think
it was the annual meeting of the
intercollegiate rules committee to
discuss changes for next yr.
Like for inst Asst. Coach Root OF
the L. S. team has made suggestions
which it looks like they would both
be adopted namely:
I) that submarines mustn't attack
nothing but war ships and.
(2) that they can't no nation from
now On use poison gas.
THESE has been agreed on by the
L other members and are sug-
Restions which meets with gen. ap-
proyal throughout the civilize world.
But how are you going to enforce
same is another question. According
to Mr.. Roots dope the submarine that
shoots at a merchant ship will be
looked on as a pirate and the nation
that uses poison gas is a dirty out
law. But the people that done both
them things in the last war was
called a whole lot worse names than
that and never batted a eye.
What the boys needs first of all is
suitable renaltys for violations of the
rules both new and old and secondly
thew need somebody to see that same
is carried out and II l was running
the meeting down in Washington
would appoint Tiny Maxwell and
walter Eckersall and W. G. Crowel
and Tom Thorp, Harry Heneage and
etc. and assign them to the next war
and leave some of them set in boat
out in the ocean and handle the Navy
game vile the others officiates in No
Mans Land and I would tell them to
see that the rules was lived up to and
would give them handy book OF
same with the new rules listed sep
arate like as follows:
