For many years the' mbers of the New York clearing | buse have been ' required to keep venty-five per cent. reserve; under e amendments to the clearing house onstitution, passed on November 13, each institution, whether it be a na- tional bank, state bank or trust com- pany is required by the clearing house to maintain as reserve only such amounts as are legally required by the laws under which they are or- ganized, United States or state. The result of this will be that the average 1eturn this week will probably show a large excess in reserve. “Last week the surplus over the twenty-five per cent. requirements was on the official return, about $7,500,000. The reduction in reserve requirements | is such that the surplus over the re- quired reserve for this week probably . will be considerably over $100,000,- 000, . 'The clearing house committee emphasizes that it must be Temem- bered this is not a change in condition, but simply a result of the change in the law and the rules of the New Jork clearing house and that it is probable that for a long time to come the bank statement will continue to show a large surplus over legal re- quirements, for the reason that many of our important institutions find it fmpracticable to do business satisfac- torily on as low a reserve as the law permits. “In view of the new items published for the first time in this statement and the difference in reserve requirements, the totals only will be given and no domparisons with previous statements made. The clearing house committee feel it wise to call these facts to the attention of the public in order that it may be perfectly clear that the sur- rius of reserve is not n fund awaiting nvestment, but a surplus that may be | yrdinarily expected as a result of the shange in the law. and one that will sentinue at least until foreign banking wlations are re-established and antil the stock exchange reopens and sall loans are available.” he explained, NUMBERS ALONE NOT DECISIVE FACTORS Gen. Von Hindenberg Confident Germans Wil Defeat Russians. Berlin via .the Hague and London, Nov. 20, 5:21 a. m.—"“The Russians have numbers on their side, but num- bers alone are. not the decisive fac- tors. In the present stage of the war less than ever before . we are not afraid of Russian numerical superior- ity. At Tannenburg the Russians outnumbered us three to one. yet the result was a notable German vic- tory.” These are the views of General Von Hindenburg, now facing the great Russian war machine, as expressed in conversation with the Berlin corres- pondent of the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna. Russians Good Soldiers. ““The Russians " said General Von Hindenburg, “are good soldiers and observe discipline, but discipline of another sort than that of the Austro- German, which is based on thinking and the execution of command, while the Russian discipline is a mere blind, dull obedience. “The Russians have learned much since the an.:mese' war, particularly in the science of entrenching; but when the ground is frozen they will no longer be able to dig themselves in. Then they wll have a bad time of it. That is one of the advantages the winter campaign will bring us. Question of Nerves. “It is a sad but good thing that war and sentimentality do not go to- gether. The merciless conduct of war is in the end the most merciful because war is soonest ended thereby. “The war with Russia is now chiefly a question of whose nerves will snap first. If Austria and Ger- many have stronger nerves—and they have them—then they will be vic- | torious.” i AMBASSADOR TO ITALY. Prince Von Buelow to Represent Ger- many at Rome. | Paris, Nov. 20, 4 a. m.—A despatch from Rome to the Fourner Agency states that Prince Von Buelow has i been appointed German ambassador [to Ttaly. Recent despatches from Rome have indicated that Herr Von Flotow, the German embassador there, was about to retire. Prince Bernhard Von Bue- !low, formerly chancellor of the Ger- man empire, who usually resides in i Rome, and’ who through his Italian marriage, has great influence in Ital- ian society,” was mentioned as likely. to take the post, in view of its im- portance at this crisis.

New Haven, Nov. 20.—While Frank Hinkey put the Yale football team through an hour of secret practice on the old Yale field yesterday, Percy Haughton drove the Harvard regu- lars through forty-five minutes of drill in the new Yale bow] just across the street. Both teams worked in a driving downpour of rain so heavy that both fields stood inches deep in water. The Yale team lined up as it will at the start of the Harvard game, with the exception of right end, where Carter played instead of Still- man. The latter did not report at the field, although he will play Sat- urday. The Yale practice was snappy, the plays went well and the passes were well a water soaked ball was used. In a brief kicking drill directed by Dr. Bull, LeGore and Guernsey tried drop kicks in the mud with good success, while all of the punters worked and the backfleld men caught their kicks with litle difficulty. Last night Coach Hinkey put his men through an hour of signal work in the Yale cage. Today Coach Hinkey gives his charges a rest. Contrary to custom, the team will not leave New Haven on the day before the Harvard game, according to Capt. Talbot’s announce- ment. In the El camp there is plenty of optimism and the undergraduates are all confident that their team will win Saturday. There has been very lit- tle betting thus far. Odds are ten io nine, with the Crimson a favorite. Of $3,000 sent down by Harvard to bet, only $1,000 has been taken. New London Harvard Headquarters. New London, Nov. 20.—The Har- vard backfield men and centers put in more than 200 miles of railroading yesterday, going from Boston to New Haven and back to New London for the night. The boys found the new Yale field covered with water, but this did not prevent them from going out for twenty minutes kicking and catching practice. SOCCER FOOTBALL.

BOOTING OF RIVALS ven at at Bridgeport Manchester. played on or MAY AFFECT RESULT Le Gore Has Edge on M:hem for Long-Distance K:ckirg. The Yale-Harvard battle tomor- row, that has abserbed the sportlight for the time being, will show no more interesting phase than the punting duel between Mahan of the Crimson and LeGore of the Blue. It should indeed prove an afternoon of king extraordinary. Mahan made a big reputation as a punter last season at Cambridge. In the Yale game he was particularly and many critics main- tained that his work was superior to that master of other years, Sam Fel- ton. This year Edtie has been incapacl- tated by injuries most of the time, and until the Princeton battle did not have much opportunity to show that he retained his former ability. Against the Tigers, however, he proved just as good as ever, booting long spirals down the field that gave his ends plenty of time to reach the man making the catch The beauty of Mahan's kicking lies not so much in his distance as in his placement of the ball and the height that he gets, that makes it practi- cally impossible to run the kicks back. By the time the ball drops several Crimson jerseyed players are usualy gathered cxpectantly around the receiver, and he is hurled to the ground in his tracks. Harry LeGore, the greatest Yale has had since Ted Coy kicker of a different type than Harvard rival. LeGore gets greater distance than Mahan. Against Prince- ton his boots averaged forty-six yar where Mahan's registered but thirty- eight the weck previous. LeGore kicks a low, twisting ball, that is'very difiicult for opponents to handle, but is also hard for his ends to prevent being run back when judged accurately and caught. Princeton was not over successful in punter is a his | receiving his punts a week ago, of- ten failing to catch the ball and let- ting it bound along for ten or fifteen vards after hitting the ground. Now and then, however, a Tiger back would make a catch, and as the Yale ends yere never able to get down as/ speedily as the ball, would tear back fifteen or twenty yards before being brought to earth. Although both Yale and feature a running attack, it is very possible that in view of the fact that | the elevens appear so evenly matched either or both coaches may decide to feature a kicking game. Harvard is more apt to rcsort to this than Yale, as the Eli's wide open passing has been too uniformly successful an of- fense to be discarded in the big game of the year. Pumpelly, Yale's most accurate drop kicker, has been out in uni- form for several days, sending them over the cross bar with surprising accuracy, in view of his long lay off. If the game is close enough for a field goal to decide it, it is practically cer- tain that Hinkey will send him in the try for the points. Brickley’'s chance of figuring In the contest is still a mystery. The Har- vard captain was reported out at the ‘stadium kicking in his old time form, {but whether or not the authorities | will allow him to enter the game has | not been divulged. Brickley or no Brickley, kicking is going to play a big part in Satur- day’'s melee. Mr. Mahan meet Mr. | LeGore—Mr, LeGore, Mr. Mahan. SOFT FOR JOHNSON. Big Smoke to Get $30,000 and One- . third of “Movics” Money. Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard, received a cablegram yesterday from Jack Curley confirming the clinchinz of a Willard-Jack Johnson match. The articles agreement, wires from London, name March 17 as the date and stipulate that John- son will meet nobody else in the ring before that time. Johnson, is to ve- ceive $30,000 cash and one-third of the moving picture profits.
