It is a disappointment because of the revelations. Acting upon the ‘instruc- tions furnished by Peary, who report- ed the sighting of such land during his polar trip in 1906 the present expedi- tion was thoroughly equipped to get valuable data relative to that north- ern region. It has added important facts to the knowledge of that m; terious land, but of a negative char- acter. What has been considered to bo a strip of land of unknown boun- daries In that locality has been dis- proved: 'That a wide expanse of ter and ice exists in the direction location where Crocker land was supposed to pe is susceptible of proof through the comparison of notes made by Peary ‘and McMillan. In the offering of the suggestion that what was thought to be Crocker land was but a mirage, there. is substantia- tion through the fact that there was the appearance of land to the McMillan party until the actual investigation of such conditions proved it to be an op- tical illusion. In the Peary case be- lief rested upon what was seen. In the McMillan case the facts retuined are hased upon actual investigation and while*Commander Peary is unwil- ling to discuss the situation until he has reaa the full report, there appears to be stronger proof possible that there is no land where the Crocker land was supposed to be. Such being an established fact the result of this ex- pedition appears to be to fix the fact that there is more ocean than was supposed. It makes cerfain that por- tion of the map which previously had been uncertain. GOVERNMENT SHIPPING, President Wilson is credited with being dissatisfied with the manner In which the changes in the ship registry law have worked out so far, and is de- termined that the idea of the govern- ment purchase of ships for the carry- ing on of forelgn trade shall be car- ried out. There seems to be no change in con- ditions which would warrant such a step by the government now any more than a few months ago for with gov- ernment owned ships there is a respon- sibility which the nation assumes in the business they carry on which is not so where private owned vessels are concerned. In view of the declared neutrality of this country there are positive requirements which must Dbe respected. It would be a serious matter for government vessels to be found carrying cargoes or portions of cargoes which are contraband. Something less than one hundred wessels bave thus far been induced to increase the merchant marine of this country. Inasmuch as they have appreciated the advantages which are offered thereby, it is fair. to presume that either others will or else they can find, even under the changed condl- tlons, no benefit to be obtalned there- by. As far es development is con- ! verned private capital can be relied ! upon to engage therein as fast as safe- ! ty dictates and provide the service ! with less likelihcod of lo=s than by government ownership. If the ship registry law has not ac- complished the resuits expected it is possible that further attention in that flirection is the best method of se- curing the remedy. THE WAR’S CASUALTIES. Estimates are all that are available for the determination of the deaths rs the result of the great coadlict in Iurope and they range all the way Irom a million and a half to five mil- ifon of the pick of European manhood. Mililons have been and are still in- rolved and there has been a reckless tisregard for the value of human life m the repeated supreme efforts for Ihe carrying of a particular point or the defense of an important locality. Fet it is impossible to overlook the 'act that there has been terrific slaugh- ler. Battalion after battalion has been wnnihilated in short periods of time ind since large numbers were avail- wble great has been the casualty list. Staggering as the figures may seem ey are only in proportion to the ter- ] rific conflict which is underway and into which the resources of many na- tions are being poured. When it is claimed by one military authority that the loss of the German armies alone up to the middle of October had been a million and a half it can be realized that the losses on the part of the al- lies have been practically as large. Thus with the casualtles, which in- cludes the wounded, many of whom may have reentered the struggle, run- ning up well into the milliong during a four months" war it can be easily understood what an effect it is bound to have upcn Europe inasmuch as the dbest of the manhood is involved. The anticipation of such a situation is most appalling, but the realization is even worse. ASSASSINS AND EMPLOYERS, ‘With the recurrences of bomb- throwing and the shooting down of a merchant in cold blood New York again faces the problem of effective- ly dealing with determined and pre- arranged lawlessness. There can be no question as to what actuated the throwers of the bombs and it is equal- ly evident that the murder of Ber- nard Baff was the culmination of a well laid plot to remove that poultry dealer from his honorable and suc- cessful business career, which while of a highly competitive character was none the less directed in the interest of square business dealings, The man- ner in which the murder was com- mitted on a business street and in the absence of anything to indicate rob- bery, makes it quite evident despite the lesson in the Rosenthal case, that New Yori has not disposed of all its gunmen, assassins subjec: to hire, or those who demand their services, New York should never be satisfied until the details surrounding the mur- der are clearsd up and the manner in which the district attorney’s office as well as the police are taking up the case gives promfise of results. It is equally important that not only should the men who actually fired the shots be obtained, but that those who directed their actions should be made to pay the penaity of such a crime. The motive for getting Baff out of the way involves others than those who would be willing to do the dirty work and justice will never be satisfied until the moving spirit in the assas- sination is disclosed and punished as the law and personal rights demand. UNCLE SAM, TRUSTEE. Upon leaving Vera Cruz the repre- sentatives of this country brought away with them the sum of $£10060.000 which had been collected in the admin- tration of the affairs of that port during the American occupation. Such ~hich “elones to Mevico, the customs from that port having been Diedsed by that country for the float- ing of a European loan, and to Mex ico it will be returned when in_ the opinion of this government a stable government has been established by the republic. To turn over such a sum of money at the time of departure regardless of which faction happened to be in control at Mexico City wou'd have been to disregard the interests of that coun- try. A million as a part of a nation's business may not be a large sum but there are responsibilities which this country well recognizes when it comes ‘o making a transfer and it intends that there shall be a responsible gov- ernment with a recognized head before it refieves itself of this financial obli- gation. IL is not disposd to pass out 2 million in cash at this time and a little later when some other faction may be in contro! have another claim presented for the same amount. Mexico can have no doubt as to the safety of the money, but from the progress which has been made in the last two years for the reestablishment of a sound government there can be little hope of getting the benefit there- of for some time to come, unless it be as a payment to the bondholders. It rests with Mexico how soon the money will become available for that coun- try’s use. In the meantime Uncle Sam is trustee. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘Why not let the spirit of Thanks- giving prevail every day? There are of course the usual com- plaints on the morning after. From reports McMjllan finds Crock- er land as elusive as a great many explorers have found the poles, ‘With Portugal ready for the plunge there must be something about that European war muddle which looks fine, After the knitting for the Belglans is completed perhaps the old fashioned idea of stocking darning will come back into style. From previous experience the shop- pers should realize that it is a short time now to €hristmas with a lot of buying to be done, ‘With bombthrowers and yegsmen operating again, New York has reason to regret the coming departure of Dis- trict Attorney Whitman to Albany. The man on the corner says: Man may not understand women, but it is noticed that it is a man who dresses the wax figures in the show windows. From the way in which Carranza is hastening to Vera Cruz and Zapata and Villa have pushed on to Mexico City, it locks like a game of “puss in the corner.” ‘With one cigar and two clgarettes a day for German soldiers in the trench- es there is little chance that the to- bacco smoke will be mistaken by the allies for fog. The claim is belng made that Ger- many "is making a supreme effort in order to be in a favorable position to seek peace. Germany lost that chance when it stood by and egged on Aus- tria. Turkey suffered a devastating attack upon both wings and a general on- slaught on the main body sufficient to demoralize if it was the armiy and not the national bird which was con- cerned, As much as Germany would like the credit of having sunk the Audacious with a submarine, it isn't at all like them to hush up the matter for so long a period of time, even if Great Britain did wish it.

Just a lot of needless expense. Full Schedule of Athletic and tertainment for Students . cess. New Haven, Conn, Nov. 26.—With the close of the football events the winter season opens with a full schedule of athletic and social activi- ties. Last Monday Coach Guy Nick- alls of the crew returned to England, where he will resumé his brokerage business. The squad is now in the charge of Coach Gianninl and Captain Denegre. Extensive training has been discontinued until ‘warm weather, However, the members of the squad,| report daily for inside work on the machines and _in the tank in the gymnasium. Sheidon and Stillman, members of the victorious crew of last June, have not as yet reported for practice. They have devoted thelr time this fall to footbgll, in which sport both have won thelr letter. A last year, the Willisbroek contests will be continued in order to keep the track men in perfect condition during the cold weather. All work at the fleld will cease this week, but these weekly contests will be held in the baseball cage. Prizes and numerals are awarded at these contests, which serves as a stimulus for enthusiastic training during the winter. The base- ball squad which was called at the opening of college has progressed very well under the leadership of Captain Middlebrook. Until spring all prac- tice will be held in the baseball cage. Swimming, the most popular of winter sports, has already a large number of new candidates. Freshmen are eligi- ble for the university team, but aside from this they have their own team. The intercollegiate swimming contest will be held this year in the Carnegie pool, for the first time in five years. The water polo team also has very: promising prospects for the coming season. Over 35 men are competing for positions on the university team. This is the second year that freshmen have been eligible for the university basketball team. All indications point to the fact that the squad will be larger than ever before and will in- clude many of the prominent football men. The chances for a championship TRIALS TRIAL OF DUC D'’ENGHIEN. In 1804 a plot was discovered which threatened the life of Napoleon and the English in particular hinted at his probable assassination. At the time there was living at Ettenheim under an assumed name the Duc 4’ Enghien, a descendent of the great Conde. The Duc &'Enghlen, having fallen under suspicion, was arrested at Ettenheim, in the neutral territory of Baden, brought to Vincennes at mid- night, and was placed on trial with much formality by a military court. FAMOUS It had been ascertained that the prisoner would come secretly into Strassburg, and with him was the English agent who had just come from London. On March 10 Bonaparte summocned | his colleagues, the two Consuls, with Talleyrand, Fouche and Regnier, to a privy council, at which it was decided to arrest the Duke. Gens. Ordener, Caulaincourt and Fririon were sent at the head of a_small force, and dur- ing the night of March 14 the Duke was_arrested- He was at once sent to Paris, Meanwhile the papers seized at Et- tenhelm, and the reports of the officials commanding the _expedition, had reached Bonaparte. Everything point- ed to a mistake. The Duke was not s living quietly at Ettenheim. But Napoleon paid no at- tention to these facts. Was he under the influence of one of those fits of rage, genuine or simulated? On the mornine of March 20 a_meet- ing of the Privy Council decided to summon immediately a military com- mission of seven members to be named by Murat, as governor of Paris. At 11 o'clock Murat made his nominations appeinting as president Gen. Hulin, At halfpast 5 the Duke arrived at the Castle of Vincennes, wherg two hours before his grave had been dus. At 9 in the evening the members of the commission met at the castle. A detachment of troops commanded by Savary was also present. At 11 o'clock the Duke was subjected to a prelim- inary examination in his room. At 1 a. m. on the 21st he appeared before his _ judges, Savary standing im- mediately behind Hulin. The exami- nation was short and revealed noth- ing. At half-past 2 the Duc d’Enghien was shot. No other act of Napoleon has ex- cited so much discussion as this. Some writers have laid the whole blame of the transaction upon the Emperor, and others endeavor to free him altogether from the charge. There is no doubt that Napoleon's emissaries to Etten- helm created fearful fantoms out of innocent appearance. The judgment of the First Consul was obscured by the rapidity with which his imagina- tion moved, causing him to take for incontestable facts stories which had but vague conjectures for their foun- dation. He, therefore, determined in his mind: “The Duke is the prime mover in the conspiracy; the soul of it; at least one of the first accom- plices.” There was another cause which act- ed upon the determination of the First Consul. The conspiracy against Na- poleon was matured In England, but its branches epread in every direction. In England conspirators were pen- sioned, and in Austria battalions were raised. In the eyes of Napoleon the Cabinets of London and Vienna acted in concert. D'Enghien was an officer of the Emnglish army and must be cognizant of the preparations which were on foot. ‘While the Duke was held captive in Paris. he was conflned in the Castle of Vineennes. In the trial proceedings no legal formalities were . observed. The prisoner of St. Helena continu- ally justified himself by saying that the Duke was tried “by a competent tribunal.” The competence of the tribunal is a very doubtful matter; but could it be_ settled according to the wishes of Napoleon, there would still remain in this affair the infraction of the laws which protect the accused The Duke had no defender. Na- poleong it is true, has said, “If guilty the commission did right in con- demning him to death. .If innocent, it should havé acquitted him, for no order can justify the consclence of a judge.” 3 Not caring to place himself in the position of recognizing that a plot had been formed to assassinate him, the chief charges against the Duke ‘were bearing arms nst France in the late war, and with intending to take part in the new coalition then propsed against France. ‘With the Duke ended the house of Conde. It is now known that Jose- phine and Mme, de Remusat had beg- zed Napoleon for mercy toward the Duke, but nothing would bend his will. On his way to St. Helena he as- serted the same circum- stances, he would do the same again. BULLETIN'S SPECIAL Use of the Bowl for Other Than Football Games—En- Remaining Over Holiday Re- team are very bright. During the sea- son eight games will be played at home and five on the Christmas trip. In wrestling many new men have entered the competition. A noviee meet ;will be heid in the immediate future at which time the new men will be classified. There will then be the university championships, open to all members of the university. Cap- tain Latimer reports a most interest- ing schedule- The first meet will be held with Columbia in New York about the middle of February, and after this follow Annapolis, the University of Penusylvania, Harvard and Princeton. On account of the early opening of the skating rink the facilities for hockey practice thia year will be greater than ever before. Under Captain Chism the gymnasium team has made most favorable progress. Several vacan- cies still remain to be filled. but the close competition will result in the adequate filling of thése. The sched- ule will probably include meets with Pennsylvania, Princeton, Rutgers and Brown, and will be concluded with the intercollegiates in March. Aside from this, the team will hold exhibition meets at several of the preparatory schools. In fencing, Mr. Bartolic has under instruction a large number of men. Three teams have been chosen and trial meets will be held until im- mediately before the intercollegiates, when the final choosing of the uni- versity team will take place. The clubs also are beginning to report new activities as well as new members. Last week Mory's association - elected 128 undergraduates to its member- ship. The dramatic association and the university glee clubs have announced their winter and Christmas schedules, which are quite similar to those of previous years. It has been the cus- tom in past vears for the orchestra to have its big concert in/the spring; but this vear it has been decided to change the date to Dec. 16. In con- trast with last year’s policy, when only one trip was made, at least four trips are planned for this year. Before Christmas, trips will be made to Meri- den and Waterbury. Immediately after Christmas the orchestra will give its annual informal concert before the Yale club of New York. A trip to Philadelphia is plgnned for later in the season. The orchestra has shown its willingness to put itself at the ser- vice of university activities by offering to play at the basketball games this winter, A meeting was held Monday in the trophy room of the gymnasium for all candidates for the university hockey team. Seventy-one men were present, the largest number that ~ has ever { come out for this sport. Passes were given out to the candidates and Cap- tain Sweney outlined the work for the season. s week there will be no regular practice, but all men are urged to do as much skating as_possible, in order to get into shape. Next Monday the regular practice will begin. On acount of the size of the squad the new candidates will be given especial attention at first. A cut will be made about a week before the Christmas va- cation, and at that time the squad to aken on the Christmas trip will be picked. Tuesday was Tag day for New Ha- ven and Yale university- Over 700 younz women were on the street cor- ners and other busy spots in New Ha- ven and throughout the university, selling tags and flags to aid the fund which the New Haven chapter of the Red Cross society is raising. The Yale Red Cross relief committee, acting in concert with the New Haven chapter, collected over $75. Of the entire fund collected, half will go to the Red Cross society and half will be used for local charity. For the large number of students Who were unable to leave New Haven for the Thanksgiving recess various university institutions made special arrangements for their entertainment. Wednesday evening the Christian as- sociation held a social gathering in Dwight hall for the academic students, Here fireside talks and refreshments comprised the evening’s entertainment. On Thanksgiving day the university dining hall provided a large New Englund Thanksgiving dinner for all of its members free of charge. Non- members were asked a nominal fee for this dinner. A big jollification was held on Thursday evening in the Lowell Mason room of the Divinity school for the faculty and their wives and the students of that department of the university. A question which has arisen recently in regard to the bowl is the use to which it shall be put in seasons of the year when football is not played. Nu- merous means of utilizing this great enclosure have been suggested, among them a plan to hold there voluntary military drill for undergraduates, su pervised by government officers. Wal- ter Camp, as a prime mover in this project, has commented on the useful- ess of the bow!l as a place for drill- Though stronsly opposed to the organization of compulsory drill at Yale, Mr. Camp thoroughly believes that voluntary drill would be the most valuable use to which the bowl might be put. In this case the action should come from the undergraduates them- selves. Every man has to think out certain things for himself. On think- ing the matter over every one should be struck with the feelin® that this na- tion is horribly unprepared for war. 1f a. man would be willing to give up three or four hours a week to this drill, the outbreak of hostilitles would find him very good'timber for a sol- dier. If such a movement were start- ed by the right class of students, if the leaders were the agitators in favor of it. it would carry the whole college by storm in short order. Such things go by fashion in the college community as elsewhere, and once voluntary drill was firmly established at Yale it would not take long for it to become tradi- tional and its success assured. The contention that it would ruin the play- ing surface can be answered because, except on great occasions, the border grounds outside the side lines and at the ends of the field would be suffi- cient. @ THE WAR. PRIMER By National Geographic Society Rotterdam—When the American tourist of former summers, whose mind was fllled with a preconveived notion of XEurope made up a wealth of statistical and historical information, approached ihe port of Rotterdam on his maiden voyage, he usually suf- tered his firat great European ai pointment.

The measure of greatness, of course, was; the grand total of tons of freight, en- tered and cleared by each port. With this information about Rotter- dam in mind, many an American has strained his eyesight from the forward deck just off the coast of Holland, vainly trying to pick up a skyline like that of New York. All that has rewarded his effort has been a low, barren, desolate stretch of sandy shore, lonely to a point of sadness. This dreary outlook is the Hook of Holland, relieved on nearer inspection by a rambling shed, a combination of baggage and customs house. There are a few scraggly bushes and dwarf trees in the picture. Probably, in nine chances out of ten the tourist has reached the Hook after the turn of the tide, in which case he has had to land there. In July, an unmerciful sun beats down on this tongue of land, which, together with the pigmy train wait- ing upon the smoky sands to carry the passengers to Rotterdam, makes the traveler almost feel that he has been landed in sleepy Africa by mistake. There is notbing about the Hook of Holland or the narrow, shallow ribbon of water, which leads to Rotterdam to aid him in realizing the magni- tude of the port but an hour’s ride away- Rotterdam is today Europe's great- est neutral seaport. The vast busi- ness of Antwerp and Hamburg has ceased. London is an object for the enterprise of war. The shipping to western Europe can alone rest com- pletely secure in the harbor of Rot- terdam, and this port city has be- come one of the busiest of places, for the purchases of all Central Europe will pour through its spiral streeis. Ideally situated for handling the commerce of central Europe, e of skillful mer- onzl sailors, con- h all the principal markets by the wonderful lways which branch out stria, done a rem: keenest tterdam has e shipping despite This city has earncd a gri art of weaith the last score years through the handling of German impo: nd the vast ex- ports Lo every corner of the world from the Rhine = manufacturing district. These goods have been mostly sent down the Rhine to Rotterdam and by | the Dutch reshipped to their destina- tions. It was in order to preserve this business in German hands, that the! Empire undertook the construction of the Dortmund-Ems Canal, at $20000,- 000, connecting the industrial Rhine country with a German port on the North Sea. Its wonderful shipping has made Rotterdam the leading commercial city of Holland. There are some industries scattered among its straight-front, five and six story, sharp-gabled houses, such as rope and cigar manufacture, but they are unimportant. Heligoland—As an excursianist from Hamburs, one comes upon the solitary little island of Heligoland, far out in the open North Sea, some 30 miles from the nearest point of land, a defiantly isolated maroon-brown crag, projecting itself suggedly against the horizon. This tiny land is the vor- tex around which the ambitions of two of the proudest navies of the world are swelling. Approached in the heat of a late day, an overhead sun sharply ing its outline, Heligoland makes impression never to be forgotten an as the most magnificent bit of loneli- ness anywhere in the northern hem- isphere. Since the day first conceived a familiar interest in when great powers {| OYHER VIEW POINTS l its existence, Heligoland has been ded- icated to war. In 1890 Great Britain and Germany entered into a treaty defining the spheres of their infiu- ence in Kast, West and Southwest Africa, and in return for the German recognition of the protectorate of Great Britain over Zanzibar, Lord Salisbury, in behalf of his Govern- ment, ceded Heligoland to Germany, Since that time it has been usurped by the German vacationist for a sum- mer playground. Its interests are three-fold; military tourist and in- dustrial. Its industrial interests are its Jeast concern, being of importance only to the few hundred fisher folk who have faith enough in their little rock to pass their lives away upon it Helgoland properly consists of two Islands, one of a high rocky plateau of military significance, and the other a great drifting pile of sand, protected by engineering works against water erosion, which serves chiefly as a bathing beach for the summer visi- tors. Duenen Insel, or sand dune is- land, the small, sparkling greénish- yellow sand pile of the summer guest, was split off from the main island by a violent disturbance in 1720. The main island is a high table of rock, in the higher points rising some sheer two hundred feet from the water, about a mile from tip to tip on its roughly triangular surface, and a lit- tle more than a third of a mile wide at the widest points. The stormy winter seas have fretted its exposed coast in a wealth of caves, .and rotted pillars, arches and needles of roek. Much of the tableland is forbidden to the tourist. The inquisitive strang- er is not encouraged to roam at will, nor to photograph whatever might strike his fancy. For the rock 1is strategic ground: its surface is stud- ded with turret fortifications, hidden big gun pits, and upon one part of the island there is an important Zeppelin station. Near itd southeastern pont is a sandy cleff in the rock upon which the lower town is constructeq and where Helgoland steamers moor. In ‘this sheltering cleff is where the na- tive fisher folk huddle fhrough the bit- ter, stormy, grey, blnod-conmiq North Sea winter. Almost continual ice-blasts chop. smash and churn these waters during the winter time.
