That Germany should be elated and Bngland bristling with. wrath and re- déntment, as the result of the raid the Yorkshire coast by the Ger- cruisers, is only natural. Thoge just the reswits which such an ats might be expected to provoke any has dome what it wasn't ught it. could do, but despite the tion of England thereby, there just ground for the protest raised inst such operations. he attack was directed in a large against unfortified towns and the t of the.victims are non-combat- inmts, fifteen schoolboys even being led by one of the shells. Such is violation of the rules -of warfare a¥ Taid down at The Hague and by it.there is permitted the opportunity of pointing to Germany as the vio- lator of civilized warfare rules on pres vious occasions, which Delgium has cause to regret. Even though the raid was meant eimply to cause destruction and cres ate terror as a demonstration of the ability of o “trapped” navy, there is no excuse for such a move against dgfenseless people. In justice to such people and in respect to intermational Tules the determination to bombard an unfortified city should be preceded by a 24 hour notice to that effect. The German cruisers had mo such time 1 waste in waiting but the same ef- fective exhibition of their cunning and presence could have been made had the fire been restricted to the fortified Places. Germany appears to have add- ed furtier to the already sufficient aceumulation of “scraps of paper.” BUCKING THE SENATE. mors of friction in the democratic ority at Washington have been rife and they have been taken to mean tht the leadership of the president during the present short session of congress might not be as successful 48 in the past two years, The president has bis own ideas as tg) how certain things should be done alid this has been manifested on sev- eral occasions with varying results. Just at the present time it has mani- fested itself in a warm contest over the making of appointments to fed- eral office ond as the result “sena- torial control” hangs In the balance. The conflict comes over the appoint- ment of district attorney for the western district of New York state for which President Wilson selected 2 man and sent his name to the sen- ate without Consulting Senator O'Gor- man, & power in the New York state democratic party. It was against the custom which has been established in the senate and it was no difficult task for the senator to aromse ail factions in the upper house to decline to ap- Prove the nomination and thereby ad- minister a stinging rebuke to the chief executive for presuming to tread on thelr “rights.” A clash thus comes early in the ses- sidn between the president and the senate, from which ke 1s expecting much before the first of March. There is 2 determination upon both sides concerning this nomination, not be- cause of the candidate, but because of the faflure to show customary re- spect for the senate rule and the chances are that the president will find that these unwritien senatorial rules are more powertful than some on the statute books. 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN DISTRESS. Great interest and sympathy have been aroused In this country by the conditions created by the war in Bel gium. How soon is it golng to be before similar demands are sent broadeast in behalf of Servia and Poland? Servia is now conduéting its third war within ‘& period of two years. Its losses have been heavy and its resources are naturally lmited. Great devastation has been Wrought by the invasion of its territory and great drains have been made upon its peo- Ble, young and old. Differing from Belgium, however, it was involved in | another way. ] fi: 28 £ ¥ 3&%’5 k= tig the main system as the trolleys have been cut off Involves a matter of much importance to New England and has already brought forward extensive op- position from the industrial and bus- Iness interests of New England. Not only will there be resistance from the road itself, but it will have the val- uvable asistance of those in this ter- ritory who are directly concerned by the proposed change and affected by the service. Organizations in large number have forwarded their protest against the injustice of removing what is in every way satisfactory, and imposing upon them a service which lacks the facili- ties for meeting the requirements. The commission cannot disregard such a powerful sentiment in seeking to do justice in the matter, and certainly the opinion of & thickly settled and industrial section of the country must carry some weight inasmuch as the commission has power to permit the continuance of the lines Where con- ditions demand them. It is indeed un- fortunate if legislation relative to the Panama canal is of such a character as to upeet the well regulated and sat- istactory transportation service of New England. NATIONAL DEFENSE, The longer the agitation coptinues over the unpreparedness of this coun- uy for war and the more opinions that are expressed upon the subject, the greater the realization in the lay mind that all of our defense is not what it seems and that there cannot possibly be any harm in such an in- vestigation as has been proposed. When ex-Secretary of War Stimson in an address before the New York merchants declarés that the Zovern- ment stands In 2 position of trustee, responsible for the protection of the lives and happiness and property of 100,000,000 people and that its duty is clear he makes plain that national Qefense is something more than a par- tisan matter. This is a fact which must get due consideration, for until it does it is bound to suffer like all partisan affairs. Mr. Stimson gives much credit to the position which has been taken by Secrétary of War Garrison, a position which'is not in accord with the ad- ministration policy, but whieh is in accord with the definite and practical program as advocatedl by Secretary Root and maintained through Secre- tary Stimson’s term in the cabinet. The ermy’s needs by Mr. Stimson's | summary are: Pirst—A moderate increase of the regular army, to be accompanied mainly by a reserve system. Second—A. foundation system, by which, when war comes, there may be organized promptly a large citizens’ or volunteer army. Third—Provision and maintenance of a sufficient reserve of field guns, ammunition and other war material such us would be needed at once in the equipping of such citizens’ army. There is such a thing as iznoring Proper protection untll it is too late and it is the purpose of the present movement to overcome negligence and know where we stand. s e S EDITORIAL NOTES, At home Germany depends upon beet sugar; in Belstum it has been rals Cain. < ——e Of course the kaiser will not be slow to realize the fact that he has another valuable ally in the fog.

Considerable interest. has beer aroused among the students of the uni- versity in the publishing of Henry P. Johnson's “Nathan Hale 1776 This book ‘has been published from a fund presented by members of the class of 1914. ‘Tt deals with a graduate who has seemed to many to personify com- pletely the Yale ideal. It gives a most delighttul _picture of his character and life as an undergraduate, and shows clearly the effect upon him of college influences and associations. It brings out new evidence to show that he lived in Connecticut hall and in its South entry. Letters are included from no less_than seven of his college class- mates and friends. This book is a revised and enlarged edition of a similar work which appeared In 1901. In the intervening period some new material has been found which throws ja light on Hale's character and life. There is no important particular, how- ever. in which the conclusions reached by Professor Johnson have been modi- tied pxcept with reference to the place of Hale's execution. This has been lo- cated ngar the Dove Tavern at the present corner of 66th street and Third avenue, New York city, where the Royal Artillery was parked Sep- tember 22, 1776, the day of Hale's ex- ecution. Nathan Hale's appearance has untll recently been a matter of great doubt and discussion. However, a_description of the personal appear- ance of Hale has been discovered in the Pension office at Washington and was first made public this week. There is no portrait of Hale in existence and the great historical importance of this discovery is apparent, when it is realized that no accurate description of Hale's appearance has hitherto been known to exist. Scholars have relied principally upon a fanciful description, by an unknown poet, published in 1836. As is well known, Hale was a gradu- ate of Yale in the class of 1773 and received first honors of his class. His subsequent heroic sacrifice and death have made him not only a national, FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF CHISHOLM MURDERERS One of the most revolting crimes in the United States durins the past century wassthe murder of the Chis- holm family at De Kalb, Miss, on April 29, 1877. It was the outcome of the peculiar sort of politics of that period in Mississippi, and was a trag- edy of a feud that had existed for a number of years. On Thursday evening, April 26, John W. Gully, a priminent citizen of Kemper county, was assassinated by an unknown party. Evidence was given by two colored men to the effect that the deed was done by Benjamin Rush. a_white man, who had been instigated to it by Judge W. W. Ch holm and several others. Chisholm and his son, John were arested, and Mrs. Chisholm and® her daughter Cornelia insisted upon sharing their confinement. On the Sunday following a mob at- tacked the jail and Chisholm was wounded and his sen and _daughter killed. Miss Chisholm in defend- ing her father shot and killed Dr. Roser, and Mrs. Chisholm seriously wounded young Gully, whose father had Deen killed. Those whom the mot aaccused of being implicated with Chis- holm in the murder of Gully were taken from the jail and hanged. On the first_ay of the trial Chisholm was the chief witness. She related how Rosser had shot her son John, and how another son, Clay, had carried the dead boy down the Jall stairs, and how Cornelia, who had thrown her arms about her father to protect him, had been shot by Gully. Gully also later fired the fatal shot which killed the father. Cornelia was carried home fatally wounded, while Judge Chisholm was assisted home by his wife and young son. Cornelia lingered until May 15, when she died from the effects of her wounds. Among the witnesses were Dr. Chamberlain, who had attended Cor- nella. He testifled that she died from the effects of her wounds; that one of the bones of her leg was injured, and two of the bones of her arm were broken by buckshot, and that she was wounded In the face by some blunt instrument, and that no treatment could have saved her life. The State made an effort to estab- lish a conspiracy on the part of Gully and others to kill Chisholm, Gilmer and Rosenbaum, and that in carrying it into pffect they killed Cornelia and other pirties. On this point the State gained no strength. Among the declarations aafter the killing of Chisholm going tg show 2 conspiracy was one of the defend- ant that, “We have dome what we came to do.” and that, “If there is any hanging to be done, here is my neck.” The defence closed its case at 5:30 p. m. on Sept. 10, and at 10 o'clock on the following morning the testimony wgs closed. Dist.Atty. Ford, in sum- ing up, attempted to ehow a con- spiracy on the part of Henry J. Gully, the defendant, and others to murder Judge Chisholm, and that in carrying their design into effect Cornelia Chis- holm was killed. The strongest .ap- peal for the prisoner was made by L 8. M, Meelc of Columbus, Miss., known as the orator of Missis- sippi.” The case was continued until the morning of Sept. 13 when at 10.30 oclock Judge Morris closed his charge to the jury. The 12 men at once re- tired and were only out about half an hour when they returned a verdict of not guflty, and the political feud which had deprived a wife of a husband and a mother of two children was at an end. At the time of the trial Mrs, Chisholm reslded in Wasl n and she was accompanied to M] i by Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, an timate friend, who remained with her duripg the trying ordeal. % Mrs, day, ‘ ‘association that e R 26th: a luncheon of the Chicago on Monday, December 28: @ dinner of the Yale Alumni Association of Netraska, in Omaha, D 29, and dinner of Yale lon Col and dinner of Yale gssoclation of Col- orado in Denver, on We evening, December 30.
