Many are the amendments which are bging offered to the ship purchase biil i the endeavor to so modify it that it will have the objections eliminated and meet with the approval of enough of the opponents to insure its passage. With the Inclination to change some of the provisions it is a strange dis- @esition which was manifested towards the amendment that was pro- pgsed by nator Lodge to the effect that the ve: ch are to be pur- ¢Based under the provisions of the biil must be other than th béliigerent nations. @n spite of the international comph- cations which are faced by the enact- ment of a law th ch it s in- tanded to obtain els which have Ween interned, or are liely fgcome subject tc b& encountered o high seas by warships of the oo & nation, the refusal to incorporate such an amend- ment into the bill discioses, about as se belonging to Slpinly as could e desired, what the program will be if tho bill passes, The plan to experiment with one vessel nnder 1ike conditions has demonstrated what the foreign attitude is to such action, The determination of the aliminis- tration to push this measure through Srrespective of waiting trouble and desplite the warnings of the perils ifrom men so well ver d in interna- tional law ds Senator Root warrants the opposition that it is receiving. Such a combination of government ownership and the disregard of inter- naffonal law should expect nothing else infthe end but defeat THE CANAL SLIDES. Col.

The fact is the waterway has been ablo to accommodate over a million dol- Jars worth of business before the date set for its completion, which is an accomplishment that must offset such a condition as the slides pre- sent now. SENSIBLE AMENDMENT DESIRED 1t is over two weeks since the work of takinz the absurdities out of the civil service law was commenced at Hartford. The improvement of the law was not accomplished with the speed that some urged and it is well hat it wasn't. As much as there is an opportunity for improvement and an apparent, need of it in a number of instances where the law has proved impractica¥ and a handicap, the nges ideserve some consideration. toa important a matter to be rail- roaded through the zencral assembly and hmve the reformed measure worse than tho ariginal There j8 good reascn for believing that Senator Ishell is sincers when he declares that the proposed Sweeping he law wes submitted for the purpose of bringing out the discussion. It was a blenket amend- ment, wiich it was realized from the start was susceptible to modifications, and che intirpation that such will take placo either in the form of a substi- tute measure or as the result cf the consideration of the facts by the judi- arr committee can be expected to result in the needed relief. This only substantiates the belief that there is not a demand for the Qestruction of the civil service w, and that there has mot been one. There is, however, a desire that thero should be some changes and even though s 1 further than President Farnam of th Connecticut Civil Service Reform ns- sociation would, when he admits that present law may be dvantage- ously amended in some of its particularl; the provision regard- ing removals” there are reasons to believe that a sensible adjustment of it for its better operation in the man- gement of institutions and i the assuming of responsibility by certain tate officers will be effected.

Perhaps the bittarest disappointment to the kaiser was that he couldn’t eat his birthday dinner in Pari Strange how the dictates of fashion are faithfully ebeyed while city or- dinances have to be enforced. When fifty to enter the war it shows vhat they think of a chance to fight. Thoush it was his 56th birthday the | chances are that Kaiser 'William felt older by over a year than he did a year azgo. E: visional President Garza of Mexico has a chance to fall back on the claim that wise men change their minds, orses stabled mest to a zarage ought to be properly seasoned to mect the requirements for artillery service abroad, ke the temporary pres- idents of Mexico long to become con- vinced of the wisdom of being their own life savers, All Germany was interested in a big demonstration over the kaiser's birth- day, but a plunge in behalf of pegce would have won greater attention. Dissatisfaction is expressed that the Mexican lighthouses are dark becauss of lack of fuel, but they are not the only places where Mexico needs light. Germany's decision to seize all the to knock in 1. was some accomplishment to get Boston to talk with San Francisco but it will be a greater one when Berlin and Paris condescend to converse again, The man on the corner says: Some people make a garret of their heads in which to store a. lot of rubbish, use- less to themselves and bothersome to other people.

New Hagen, Jan. 28.~In accordance with the complete revision of the pres- ent coflese rooming system which was announced Tuesday evening for the first time the academic freshmen will occupy Berkeley Oval beginning in the fail of 1916, contrary to the report that tho freshmen would take possession of the junior dormitories next fall. The senior class will have Vanderbilt anc Wright halls; the junior class Plerso: hall anq 242 and 243-250 York street the sophomores, in_addition to the. regular dormitories, Lawrence, Farnar and Durfee, will have Welch and Con- necticut halls, both of which are at present senior dormitories. The sopho- more and senior classes clearly benefit by the change. But the junier class, the present freshmen, will not have enough room in the coliege buildings and must live to a great extent oui- side. There is a pressing need of new buildings to accommodate them. The building of dormitories on the west side of High street, just south of Pea- body museum, is being agitated. In regard to the proposed changes Dean Jones has made the following com- ment: “The college wishes to get rid of any division in the freshman class. For the sake of class solidarity they shonld begin their course as a unit. We have had pretty good solidarity here already; the proposed system will assure us of it in the future. The sophomores should reom entirely in the college buildings. It would be unwise not to hove them do this, 1 feel that the seniors should room on the campus. 1t has always been traditional for them and I should dislike to have them spend their last year elsewhere. The Junior class will therefore have to shift for itself to a great extent. This is inevitable unless the college ac- quires new dormitories.” During Commencement week this year Yale's great Civil war memorial Which has been in process of beinz set up for the past few months, will be un- veiled with the proper ceremonies in Memorial hall. - The Civil war memo- rial consists of two large marble tab- lets on either side of the passageway, upon which, between the heroic figur representing_the virtues of Courage, Patriotism. Memory and Devotion will be found the chiseied names of the 175 Yale men who gave their lives on either side of the Civil war. It is sin- gularly appropriate that the unveiling {of this national memorial at the uni- versity will be coincident with the 56 struggle.

The heights of the peal ) Hoho Tatra group are 5,000 feet and more. Gerisdorfer peak, the highest one in the entire system, reaches 8,737 feet above the sea level. Thus, 1t Carpathian range hes no mountain formation to compare with the more majestic groups or with those of our own Rockies. There are innumerable peaks through this Hungarian line of defenke, however, which vary from 5,000 to 7.000 feef in height, and these walls, togather with the involved char- acters of most of the passes, have made the Carpathians a very effective barrier against northern invaders, “These mountains separate Hungary beginning on the west, from the Aus- trian provinces of Moravia, Silesia, Galicia, Bukowina, Moldavia and the ingdom of Roumania. Some of the most miserably poor white people in the worlg live along this range and upon its forest-covered side: They are mostly Slavs. Polish Slavs upon the Dleak, more abrupt northern ex- posures, while the dwellers of Slovak- land, a_people almost become subject to the Magyar, live upon tle southern mountains. “The Carpathian mountains are richer in metallic ores than any other mountain groups in Kurope. Large quantities of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, coal, petroleum, salt, zinc.and other minerals are mined there, and many of the wilder parts of the sys- tem have not yet been thoroughly prospected. There are a number of thermal and mineral springs in the mountains which are weil-known as health resorts. “Among the higher convolutions of the Carpathians, a great number of beautiful lakes have been discovered, which the Hungarians have named the “eves of the sea”. The irregularity of Cliff and gorse, and the beauty of these deep highland lakes, are the chief scenery advantages of the Carpath- ians. There are no glaciers, no patch- es of perennial snow in the system. However, many of the higher peaks are great ugly masses of bald rock and rock eroston.’ - BULLETIN'S SPECIAL YALE LETTER Revision of the Present College Rooming System—Civil War Memorial to be Unveiled—Yale First Submarine Mine and Boat—Changes in Art School Fo‘==o==o==oqfl 'fi - Beginning This Morning OUR SEMI-ANNUAL TEN-DAY AILORING SAL Your unrestricted choice from our large and select stock of Woolens uit or Qvercoat to Order $16.50 Reduced from $20, $22, 25, $28, $30 S This remarkable offer is for ten days only commencing this morning and ending Wednesday, Feb. 10th.
