TRY FOR POINT RULE IN FOOTBALL IS EXPLAINED BY CHAIRMAN HALL

New York, Oct. 1o-Footban ofn- riais in games played throughout, the country have given such conflicting .nterpretatious of the two important changes in the rules, inaugurated this wear. one Of which changes radically fhe scoring system of the game, that the rules committee of the American Intsrcollegiate Football association to- day issued a statement in an attempt to clear the situation.
 Most of the trouble is over the new rule x. which was designed to change the play after a touchdown is made from a try for goal through a place kick To a "try for point through one of three methodS Some teams, elect ing to "try for point by kicking goal, have claimed the point when the kick failed but one of their men recovered the ball and rushed 1t behind the opposing goal.
 In some instances, referees and other officials have erroneously up- held the contention, B. K. Hall, chair - man of the rules committee. said in issuing the statement. Mir. Hall point Cd out that a team having chosen to try for point by kicking, lost when the kick failed. and the instant it did faii the play automatically was ended The new rule he added. does not per- init the conversion of a play.
 Rule X.' says the statement. "pro- vides that team which has made a touchdown may add one additional point to its score by successfully ex- ecuting in a single play any one of the following: By a goal from field by completing a forward pass in the end zone, or by carrying the ball

 the European situation will never be genuinely remedied until the United States takes a hand in it" And that he blamed the Versailles treaty as the underlying cause of European dis tress.
 The entrance of the United States into the war threw the bal ance toward the allies and was largely responsible for their victory. But the United States opposed the treaty before it was signed and has never ratified it since. I am in hopes that the view of it thus indicated will gradually win over those who still be- leve it can be executed. Failing in that hope, I can see no way out save through a catastrophe. That catas- trophe, remember, is not remote; it lies directly around the corner.

INTERVIEW WITH FORMER
 GERMAN CROWN PRINCE

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 10-Regret that that he cannot go back to Germany to aid in reuniting his country is the principal emotion of the former crown prince in exile at Wieringen, Holland, according to an authorized interview with him to be printed to- morrow morning by the Baltimore Sun. The cabled interview, which is copyrighted by that paper, was given to Henry l.. Mencken, the critic and essayist, who has been in central Europe for several months. Of the crown prince MT. Mencken says: Among all the Germans I have talked to during the past six weeks ranging from high officials to newspaper e1i- tors, and from university professors to business men, 1 can recall none whose views of past and present events contain less of illusion. He | discusses the war objectively with great shrewdness and accepts his present position uncomplainingly. It 1 is uncomfortable, but so is every other | German position.
 Germany he said, faces stupend- ous tasks and almost intolerable bur dens and it is naturally hard for any German to have to stand by without l taking a hand. I sincerely wish could be more actively employed, but certainly have no desire to complicate the present situation by raising fac i tional questions. It would be absurd, l of course, to say dynastic considera- ] tionS do not interest me- but they assuredly take second place in my | thoughts. In such days as these, I am, first of all, a German citizen and ] soldier. As such my duty is precisely | that of every other good German-to l O 1o1 fra-- even personal opinions to the com mon good. What we need today above all, is national unity. A thor oughiy united Germany would be un- 1 breakable.'
 The prince takes a philosophical view of the extravagant tales about 1 him circulated in America during the | war. For example, the stories ot wholesale burglaries in France. He collects such fables with humorous interest and was apparently delighted with several contributed from the l archives of the Creel press bureau
 Such nonsensical Hbels,' he said do not annoy me half as much as their authors probably think. Abuse of that sort goes with the trade was born to. If Germany had wor sweeping victory I'd. have got ae crown prince far more than my faiI share of the glory and applause. Ir defeat receive, perhaps, rather more than fair share of the blame ano generation, both at home and abroad
 but such are fortunes of war foi commanding officers. I doubt thai any sane American seriously believes today was guilty of the fantastic crimes laid to me during the war That madness must necessarily pass
 Meanwhile it gives me no concern.
 MT. Mencken said that like mos Il other Germans, the prince believes

HISTORIC LETTER WRITTEN
 BY GEORGE WASHINGTON

New York, Oct 10.-An historic letter written by George Washington from Continental Army headquarters in Nor ristown to Elbridge Gery, member of congress, in Philadelphia on January 29. 17S0, describing the deplorable state of the American army at that time and urg- ing preparedness as means of achiev- ing lasting peace was made public to- night for the first time at dinner of the American Sulgrave institution.
 There is nothing so likely to produce peace." said Washington in the letter, "as to be well prepared to meet the enc my, and from this persuasion. and the effect. you justly observe the contrary on our part might have on the court of France and also on that of Spain. I think it would be right for us to hold forth at least. every appearance of pre- paratfon and vigor, and really to do what our abilities, and the circumstances of our finance may well justify"
 Referring to his recommendation of as much preparedness as ''our abilities and finances may justify" Washington con- tinues:
 The latter I own is most important consideration. but I cannot judge how far the state of it may. or may not re quire retrenchment and a spirit of econ omy or indeed inactivity in our af- fairs You will. however. perceive b, a letter 70 congress of the 18th b, Baron Steuben, that I have again men toned my opinion of the priority O placing the army on a more respectabl l footing than it will be at the openini
 of the campaign without their interposi

 with respect to provisions, the posi- tion of the army is comfortable at pres ent on this head and l ardently pra

 Barnes, also valued by the club that owned him in 1915 at g, 800, was entrusted with the pitching joo on twenty nine occasions, and stuck round the slab until the finish of sixteen
