I ALD. V. B. CHAMBERLAIN HITS GIRL WITH AUTO Nellie Magonia, Aged Three, Not Seriously Hurt—Par- ty Going to Game. Crossing the street to her home from o stand where she had been buying peanuts, Nellie Magonia, three years old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Caesar Magonia of 476 South Main street, was struck by a touring car driven | by Alderman Valentine B. Chamber- lain, Jr.,, just before 11 o’clock this morning. The child received a glancing blow and fell between the wheels, but apparently was not se- verely hurt. She received a cut on her right leg near the knee and was found to have a #ump on her head, but Dr. Joseph Robinson, who was called, could find no evidence of a fracture, The accident happened just south of Brook street and that it did not rrove more serious was undoubtedly due to the fact that Mr. Chamber- lain had his car in control and in- stantly slowed down, when he saw the child attempt to cross the road. The little girl saw the automobile and began to zig-zag until she was struck. Mr. Chamberlain was the Yale-Princeton football game at New Haven and with him was Mrs. Chamberlain; his brother-in- law, Frank G. Vibberts, treasur- er of the New Britain Trust company, his sister, Miss Bertha | Chamberlain and Miss Virginia Hart, The child’s mother, who was stand- ing in the yard watching the little one, witnessed the accident. She rushed out and grasped’ her offspring Mr. Chamberlain stopped his car within its length and as soon as pos- sible called the police on the tele- phone. Officer Malone responded with the patrol and a hurried run was made to the scene. The child’'s parents, however, would not hear of her being taken to the hospital and she was left in the care of Dr. Rob- inson. After giving a report of the accident to Officer Malone, Mr. Cham- berlain was allowed to proceed with his party to the football game. ITALIAN STEAMER SUNK Firenze Sent to Bottom by Submarine of enroute to —Six Passengers and Fifteen Crew Missing. Rome, Nov. 12, via Paris, Nov. 13, 12:05 a. m.—The Italian steamer Fir- enze, 3,973 tons gross, has been sunk by a submarine. Twenty-seven pas- sengers and ninety-six members of the crew were saved.

The dispatch fails to state whether she was sunk in the Mediterranean. The steamer was owned by the Societa Nazionale Di Serviza, and her port of registry was Genoa. She was 344 feet long with a beam of 44 feet and was -built at Stezia in ‘912_. KAISER ON WAY 10 SOFTA To Visit King Ferdinand Inspect Ar- mies Invading Serbia and Go to Constantinople.

INTERNED GERMAN ESCAPED. | Washington, Nov. 13.—Navy offi- cials are so stirred at the escape of a seaman from the interned German cruisers at Norfolk, following clos- 1y on the recent escape of a party of non-commissioned officers, that today they asked the state depart- ment to what lengths the marine guards stationed about the ships would be justified in going to bring the series of unauthorized depart- ures to an end, CHURCHILL TO FIGHT WITH BRITISH ARMY Resigns From Cabinet fo Join Forces in France WAS TARGET OF CRITICISM Former Chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Will Justify the Expedi- | tions He Urged to Antwerp and the Dardanelles. ish politics has been the target of more criticism since the war started has just resigned from the post of chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster in the British cabinet and is now about to join the army in France. portant position in the cabinet, that of the chancellorskip of the Duchy of Lancaster, when the coalition ministry was formed last May, prior to which time he held the important post of first lord of the admiralty. Flood of Criticism. Incidentally Mr. Churchill’s change of office did not reduce the flood of criticism which starts, as a rule, from public statements which older men call at least indiscreet. He is forty- one years old, but, according to his critics, he does not acquire discretion with years. Rightly or wrongly, Churchill has been blamed as if solely responsible for the inadequacy of the British ex- pedition for the relief of Antwerp, a military movement that brought little relief to the Belgians and ended with the internment of a large part of the British marine expedition in Holland. Similarly he has had the brunt of the public censure for the attempt to force the Dardanelles without the help of the army, a failure which up to date has produced a British casualty list of approximately 100,000 men. Cynically Dubbed. 1t is logically unreasonable to place upon his young shoulders the com- plete responsibility for both of these undertakings, which could not have been made without the approval of his older cabinet associates, but in spite “Duke of Antwerp and Gallipoli.” Mr. Churchill’'s prophecy early the war that if the German ships a@id not come out and fight ‘“we would dig them out of their hole like rats,” his prediction that if Zeppelins came to England they vould be surrounded by “A swarm of hornets,” and his claim at Dundee, where he went to speak before his constituency after his clash with Ad- miral Fisher, that the British on the Gallipoli Peninsula were “Within a few miles” of a great victory, are cited as instances of a form of ora- tory that may be said to evidence a temperamental defect in a cabinet minister. Another Mistake. On Trafalgar Day he made anoth- er mistake, according to his critics, when he wrote ‘“Through our long delays the enemy has seized a new in- itiative in the Near East.” One day when he was present in the house of commons he was asked “How the de- lays had arisen and who had been re- sponsible for them.” Not long be- fore he had been chatting with David Lloyd George on the treasury bench, but when the question was put he had disappeared. Cheers greeted the ques- tion, and memberg called out “He was here; he is in the house,” and Mr. Hogge, one of the prominent baiters, asked “Why, has he run away?”. Several days later he expressed re- gret that he was not present when the question was asked, as he meant that the delay was incidental to the joint action in military and diplo- matic affairs of the various allied governments among whom the re- sponsibility was shared. H To Explain Resignation, Mr. Churchill intends to explain the reason for his resignation at the sit- ting of the house of commons on Monday. According to the Times parliamentary correspondent, Mr. Churchill will Teview the war opera- tions of the admiralty during his term as first lord and will justify the expeditions to Antwerp and the Dardanelles.

Survivors who were taken to the | hospitals in -Algiers state that eighty persons who were aboard the Cal- vados sought refuge on a raft but were engulfed when the raft was overturned in an eddy caused by thc submarine circling about it, Six sailors and the second mate, whe wore life belts, were saved after be- ing in the water 24 hours.

New York, Nov. 13.—The greates: volume of exports over recorded at . single port in the history of th. United States left New York harbo during October, mostly for the war- ring nations of Europe, according f estimates made today by custom of ficials here- The total, based on tah ulations that are nearly completr will not fall far short of $175,000 000 or about $7,000,000 a day for every work day of the month. 1 September exports from New Yor! totalled $162,000,000. So great was the volume of ship ments that it has been impossible tc complete the tabulations up to the present time. Three hundred and ninety-thrc ships nearly every one laden with : capacity cargo, left New York dur ing October as compareq with 327 in September.

KAISER WANTS RIGA AND DVINSK TAKEN Emperor Tells Von Hindenburg to Capture Russian Position at All Cost—Germany After Persia. London, Nov. 13, 3:25 a. m.—A de- spatch to the Times from Petrograd gives a story told by German prison- ers of a meeting between Emperor William and Field Marshal Von Hin- denburg, at which the Emperor in- sisted ‘that another attempt be made to take Riga and Dvinsk at all cost. The field marshal is reported to have demanded reinforcements which the emperor refused on the ground that men could not be spared from other fronts. Then, according to the story told by the prisoners, a military conference was held at which Field Marshal Von Hindenburg announced his readiness to resign should the Emperor still in- sist upon the capture of Riga and Dvinsk. The Novoe Vremya and the Rech today call attention to what they term German intrigue in Persia. They in- sist there is a similarity between these intrigues and those fomented by Ger- many in Turkey and Bulgaria, suggest that Germany desires to drag Persia into the war as a preliminary to grandiose adventures in the far east.

After a succession of punts Prince- ton finally worked the ball to near Yale's goal posts, and with but a minute to play and the blue support- ers pleading for the Sons of Eli to “Hold 'Em” int.rmingled with the shouts from the Orange and Black rooters to place it over, an Eli play- | er intercepted a lateral pass from Captain Glick, and the ball and game went to Yale while the bands started to play and the Yale men swarmed on the field and with ec- tasy of joy gave the old snake dance, The elevens battled through the first period without a score and it was not until the middle of the sec- ond period that Otis Guernsey stand- ing on Yale's fifty-five yard line placed the pigskin between the bars, while the Yale stands shook with the | pandemonium of cheers and songs | from the Yale students and crowd. | Shortly after the big fullback re- peated the play whén on the thirty- five vard line he again dropped the sphere between the bars for a per- fect kick.
