The discussion fully con- firmed there is complete agreement between the allies on all questions which will be the subject of debate at Lausanne.” The three powers were Qquick to agree on the necessity of insisting that the Turks must assure ample protection to commercial interests. but a longer discussion took place on the major questions in Lord Curzon's memorandum. One of these was the British thesis that there should be a fairly lengthy military occupation of strategic points commanding the straits, so as to Insure the freedom of the straits, regardless of the Turk- ish attitude during the immediate future, which the British are rather inclined to think might run to two years. The other point was the desirability of limiting the armed forces that Turkey might maintain in Europe. It was recognized that it would be inex- pedient to attempt to dictate to num- ber of troops Turks might have in Asiatic Turkey, but it was consid- ered imperative by the British at least that there be an effective check on Turkish military power in Europe. Those attending the conference re- fused detalls of their agreement on this point. but the blanket statement that an agreement on all points was reached, and the fact that the British held firmly to this provision is in- xa?rued as meaning that the French and Italians approved of it. Both French delegates to Lausanne, M. Barrere and Bompard, attended the meeting, so that they are now well versed in Premier Poincare's way of thinking and are conversant also with the British and Italian viewpoints. M. Poincare and Lord Curzon were assisted by a large staff of experts, who will go to Lausann thus today’s meeting was a sort of dress rehearsal for the meeting of the allies with the Italian premier Mussolini tomorrow. The discu: sfon with Mussolini is oonsidered necessary for formal ratification of the premiers agreement and also de- sirable as giving an opportunity. to the representatives of the three allies to barmonize their views 5 | propriation of private {an expression of our views. Pastor-Sheriff Scores Hanging, By the Asaqgjated Press, DES MOINES, November 18.— Rev. W. E. Robb, sheriff and for- mer A. E. F. chaplain, announced today that we would execute his second hanging, “because there 18 no way to evade the terrible task, except the way of a coward.” “The method is clumsy, the act is gruesome, and the effect is not permanent,” he sald in a statement explaining his state of mind. He added that he accepted hanging as his duty because it was the will of the majority and the law of the, state. < “Brainless péople who have no ability to think will condemn and ,rave and shout, as usual,” the state- ment sald. “Unthinking religious fanatics will plead and pray and forget that God is a God of justice and mercy, and that judgment Is as much a duty of love as mercy is the delight of love. America is cursed today with a lot of spine- less reformers. They think of a minister as a sissy, sexless, spine- less creature with lly-white hands, who spends his time attending la- dies’ societies and pink teas.” The prisoner to be hanged Is Orrie Cross, slayer of George Fos- dick, Des Moines grocer. The hanging will take place at Fort Madison penitentlary next Friday morning. The man previously hanged by Sheriff Robb was con- demned for the same crime. _—— MEXICO PRAISES CRY AGAINST U. S. TO SISTER NATIONS (Continued from First Page.) statement on any phase of the incident. Inysome quarters the publication of the communications is considered a clever political move to unite all fac- tions in congress at a moment when the provisions of article 27 of the Mexican constitution, which deals with the ap- property, are about to be discussed. In the same quarters it was sald that the text of the communication did rot reveal any intention on the part of the United States governmnet to dictate Mexican legislative matters, but were rather intended to constitute helpful suggestions relative to matters of mut- ual interest to both countries. It has been known for rome tima that various Mexican officials had expressed the wish that United States would in- dicate its desires relative to article 27, so that these might be considered. U. S. DENIES MEDDLING. Views Given Only With Bellef They Were Welcome. Charges that the United States has interfered unduly in the drafting of internal legislation in Mexico, which have culminated in an outburst of anti-American sentiment in the Mexican chamber of deputies, were declared by the State Department last night to be wholly unsubstantiated by the facts. In a formal statement given by the department to the Associated Press it was said that the views on proposed oil legislation communi+ cated by American Charge Summerlin to Mexico City officials had been ex- pressed only after the Washington government had been given to under- stand that such comment would be welcomed. “We had not the slightest intention of interfering in Mexioan affairs,” the statement_ continued. “and have not done so.” We desired to maintain friendly relations with the Mexican people and it is In the interest of that friendship that we have hoped they would find a way of giving protection against conflscation. “Upon the fundamental question the position of this government re- mains precisely what it has been.” Statement Authorized. The statement, authorized by Secre- tary Hughes after his attention had been called to dispatches of the As- sociated Press on the subject from Mexico City, follows in full: “The officers of the Department of “nited States government was seek- ing to interfere in Mexico's internal affairs slighest desire to do so.

His acceptance was opposed by Secretary Weeks and other officials, including Gen. Pershing, who last night made this statement: Pershing Pays Tribute. “I feel that I am voicing the views of the entire Army in expressing keen re- gret that Gen. Harbord has decided to go into civil life. His distinguished Services abroad and throughout his life need not be recounted, as they are well known to all Americans. We shall miss him in our councils. We wish him the greatest success is his new career, and I predict that his unusual experience as an organizer, administrator and execu- tive of great enterprises, will insure his success in the business world.” Even higher praise of Gen. Harbord's qualities was voiced by Gen. Pershing in the following indorsement made on a routine efficiency report concerning the retiring office “A superior officer in all respects— able, efficient, loyal. His ability as a commander is without limitation. Has a most thorough knowledge of both staff and command duty. The ablest officer I know.” Gen. Harbord’s determination to go back to civil life brings to a close a striking military career that began in the ranks of Company A, 4th In- fantry, in 1889. ‘Since then he has passed through every grade the Army knows from private to major general, and was recommended for a lieuten- ant generalcy in France. To carry out his conception of his duty to his fellow officers, he now is laying aside the certainty of succeeding Gen. Per- shing as chfef of staff of the Army, and the strong probability of receiv- ing higher rank. The road to the office of chief of staff was cleared for him by special act of Congress be- cause of his great ability. The retiring officer has participated in all of the active life of the Army, and served in 1898 as a major in the 2d United States Volunteer Cavalry, known as the Torrey Rough Riders, raised in the Rocky mountain stat Later he became assistant chief of the Philfppine constabulary under Governor General Taft, remaining in the Phll.lp&h;;u from 1902 until 1914. n . 28 2 major, he w: s ing the War College in vfi.’m‘:‘fi-’z‘é'n and was selected by Theodore Roose- velt to be & brigade commander_in the division of volunteers Col.

It rounded out and completed, however, one of the most remarkable seasons in the history of the Tiger's gridiron elevens. It added a triumph over Yale, Princeton's oldest and dearest rival as the climax to a fall of foot ball play in which both Uni- versity of Chicago and Harvard bowed in defeat before Nassau's great combination, Yale Reaches 1-Yard Line. Considered as a whole, the teams appeared more or less evenly matched, and each seemed to lack the finish- ing punch to put over scores when opportunities and excellent plays had brought the ball well within thc scoring zone. The game opened with one of these thrills. Almost imme- diately after the kick-off, Yale rushed the ball In a series of almost irre- sistible dashes and charges down un- almost irresistible line plunger of the Elis carrying the ball, lit appeared as though nothing could stop the Blue in its march to a touchdown. Princeton rose to the emergency just as it did in the final seconds of the game against Chicago. With fourth down and the ball in Yale's possession on the Tiger's one-yard mark, Capt. Jordan flung the whole power and weight of his 200-pound frame into the Princeton linesmen who barred his way to score. The shock of Jordan and his own team- mates could almost be felt by the 57,000 spectators who filled the ralm- er Stadium. The Princeton scrim- magers and the secondary defense just a step at their back, closed in ‘with the rush and the two elevens met exactly in the middle of the neutral zone.

Late in the first half Yale regained its offensive stride and had launched a slashing drive from near midfield, ith Jordan making most of the gains, when the whistle checked the spurt. Again threatene: From Yale's 40-yard line Neale and Jordan made first down on two line bucks; a pretly forward pass over thé line, Neale to Neidlinger, netted 15 _more, and Neale followed with a in the third period Yale 10-yard dash off tackle, planting tne| ball on Princeton's 25-yard lne. Caldwell stopped the Blue advance at this juncture by intercepting an at- tempted forward pass on Princeton’'s 15-yard line. Yale Just Misses. Twice in the iast period O'Hearn attempted drop-kicks from around midfield in an effort to tie the score. Once the brilliant Yale quarterback booted the ball across Princeton’s goal line from the 50-yard mark, and shortly afterward narrowly missed a beautiful boot from his own 45 yard line. The bail dropped just under the crossbars and squareliy be- tween them. An analysis of the game's statistics shows clearly Yale's offensive strength and Princeton’s defensive power. Yale registered sixteen first downs to six for Princeton, and gained 21 yards by rushing to 99 for the Tigers. Princeton’s aerial game was superior to that of its opponent. Game Particularly Clean.
