They Read Closely.

AHey Nedu NlOSelys
|" HE other day appeared In
these sports pages an inter
esting tale Of the football
relations between Yale and Prince
ton and in the hurry of handling
the copy a grievous error crept
in. But it did not go undiscov-
cred, nothing like that. Pleasant,
but sad, little notes have come to
this desk ever since, calling atten-
ton to the value of Arthur Poe's
great drOpkick against Yale in
!. The story said that Gin those
days a dropkick brought but a
bare point" and had Yale and
Princeton tied, 10 to 10, when Poe
made his wonderful effort. Now
that was wrong, but here's one
little note which explains the
whole thing. We are glad to
make the correction, being bug
on football ourselves:
"Dear Sir:
"The appended story is a good
one and likely to be read with
interest by all Princetonians. 1t
is too good to contain such errors
as the statement that "A drop
kick in those days brought bat a
bare point and The score was
10 to 10,' due no doubt. to the
authors trusting to his memory
rather than looking the game up,
"As a matter of fact, Yale was
leading at the time, 10 to 6, and
Poe's dropkick, which in those
days counted five points, or the
same as a touchdown, made the
score II to 10.
Poe, by the way, In the 1898
game, pulled his stunt three times,
Once he scored, after a 95-yard
run. The second time, after q
run Of about 100 yards, he was
called back because of holding in
the line, or at least some viola
ton of the rules. The third time
he got loose ball and set sail
for the Yale goal, but was caught
from behind.

Georgetown has 3 score to

also some kicking by Georgetown

HAGUE TRIBUNALS.
Postwar Controversies Be.

BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
THE HAGUE, Holland. July IA
The Peace Palace is actually over
crowded with juridical commissions
and arbitration tribunals dealing with
questions arising out of postwar
conflicts or differences in interpre-
tation of the treaty of Versailles.
The Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice has the leading part.
1t sits daily in public session in or
der to hear discussions of the case of
the Britf-a steamship Wimbledon
which IN March. 1921, was refused
access to the KieI canal by German
authorities. After pleadings by
Prof Basdevare, the French agent,
and Sir Cecil Hurst, the British agent.
who were supported by the Italian
and Polish representatives., DIR. Schif-
fer, former minister of justice in Ger
many, appeared on the scene and de-
Tended the German point of view.
Germany has been summoned to the
world court.
German Position Strong.
After the representatives ofthe al
lied governments had emphasized the
point that the Kiel canal should be
free to the vessels of all nations at
peace with Germany, according to the
treaty Of Versailles, DR.. Schiller
maintained that Germany had IL right
to refuse tfe Wimbledon access to
the canal, because Poland was Their
at war with Russia. Evidence of this
fact was produced by the Wimbledon
itself, which was passing through the
canal with a cargo of war material
for Poland. Germany, DR.. Schiller
argued. had the right to refuse free
passage to the ship, Germany having 6
issued a declaration of neutrality in
the Poland-Russian war. In certain
circles about the court the feeling
prevails that the position of Ger
many Is strong in this case, but no
prophesy as to the decision is being
made.
Other Cases Considered.
Meanwhile an extraordinary arbi-
tration tribunal is meeting in the
peace palace in order to deal with
the question of the application of an
agreement concluded on May 10, 1920.
between the German government and
the Reichsbank on one side and on
the other side a few Dutch mortgage
bankers who had advanced money on
German ships which. according to
the treaty Of Versailles. should have
been handed over to the reparations
commission free of any mortgages or
other charges.
