The forcible searching of the Amer- jcan steamer Zelandia in a Mexican port by a party from a British cruiser indicates a flagrant disregard for the rights of a vessel fiving the American flag, and in asking for an explanation of it from the British government this country is doing the proper. thing. Though the fact that the American consul at Progreso states that the cruiser is waiting outside the harbor with the evident purpose of seizing the ship might indicate that they had found enough on the vessel to war- rant them in any contemplated cap- jture of the steamer, that does not fur- ‘nish the least pretext for proceeding as they did in going aboard and searching the cargo while it was in a foreign and a neutral port. __If the vessel should be caught car- Tying contraband there is a course ‘which the British have a right to take under the rules of war. Because it is an American ship, owned by Amer- fcan capital and fiying the American flag, without any question over a change in registry. does mot protect it against seizure if it is ensaged in illega) traffic, and this country would not attempt to claim that it did, but o go into Progreso and violate Amer- fcan rights was to do what it had no right to do. The boarding party was outside its jurisdiction and it will Dbe interesting to learn what excuse can be put forward in explanation of the act. In asking for information con- cerning the circumstances this govern- ment should urge an early reply in _ view of the seriousness of the report- ed affair. B MEXICO.LOOKING UP. However optimistic the news Is that comes from Mexico concerning the improvement in the conditions there since Carranza was recognized as the head of the government, it is impos- sible to believe that the deplorable sit- uation has been entirely cleared up . down there. That there have been | important steps taken'to that end is _ gratifying. It indicates the right dis- . position, but it is going to require more than a few weeks to overcome all the obstacles and get that repub- lic, even in the states which are un- der Carranza’s control, back where it was before the last series of revolu- tions broke out. The reopening of scheduled train service between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, the extension of relief in those quarters where famine had prevailed, | the increasing of the exports and im. ports of the country and the devotion of greater attention to the revival of * Industrial activity are all signs that progress is being made in the right direction. They furnisk conclusive in- dications that a proper start is being made in the much needed reconstrue- tion of the country which has been too long torn by bitter internal strife. There remains of course the neces- sity of subduing Villa and his follow- ers, but they are in an fsolated sec- tion of the state and from such op- position 2s they have been giving. to the government forces of late there are reasons to believe that his end is car, although it may be some time _ before an end will be put to the guer- rlila warfare which promises to be tinued by the factions into which his army is likely to separate. There can nevertheless be much satisfaction over the reports which are coming . from the republic to the south of the § RBio Grande. | FULL FACTS NEEDED. 4 It is necessary that this country * should awalt ail the facts, for the pur- pose of getting the correct ones, before any action is taken relative to the torpedoing of the steamship Ancona, upon which it is now claimed Amer- lcan lives were lost. The exact cir- ~ cumstances are needed before passing Jjudgment. One report indicates that when the '+ ship was hajled by the submarine, _which is believed by some to have been a German underwater craft fiying n Austrian flag, the captain put on il steam and Gid his utmost to es- s. This was followed, as this same port points out, by the successful arsuit on the part of the submarine after the liner had been overtaken stopped “then the submarine fired n the Ancona, sinking her amid desperate cries of the passengers, > litebonts were next attacked, the November 6... % | |- & tania or the dropping Of bombs unfortified cities.

There should be no reason for exacting a promise from any nation against any such conduct in view of the fact that it has already agreed to respect the rules of war. SOUND AND EXPECTED DECISION Only those who have been arduousiy pushing the Project for a canal be- tween Norwich and Worcester could have anticipated that the report of Major Pillsbury of the United States engineering corps, assigned to inv tigate the petition for a survey, would have been anything different than it was. The idea of a canal across ‘this state from this city into Massachusetts is not a new ome. It has been talked about for a great many years, but al- ways with the recognition that the outlay would be out of all proportion o the benefit gained. It was revived when Bryan F. Mahan was in con- gress for the apparent purpose of strengthening his hold upon the dis- trict, but there should be a line drawn between the wise and useless expendi~ ture of money even though government funds are concerned, and this is ap- parently taken into consideration by Major Pillsbury in reaching his de- cision, which is only what was cx- pected. When there is a lack of enthusiasm in behalf of the project because of tge recognition of the manmer in whi'§ the cost would overbalance the benefit, and the detrimental effects which would react upon the natiilal water. privileges along the rivers involved, it is apparent that a sensible wiew has been taken. A development which would fafl to improve conditions in a compensatory manner is a good thing to let alone. There are opportunities enough for aiding this end of the state without_trying to put through some- thing which would prove a failure, and 50 recognized before a start is made. and a deeper channel in the Thames to this city is one of them. ABOLISH THE TIPS, A movement which seems to be headed in the right direction, is that which has been launched by waitress- es of Boston, who at a mass meeting went on'record as protesting against the small amount of wages which they recelve and the necessity of relying upon tips to make up the difference between what the employers pay them and ‘what is nécessary for existence. There is no reason why there should not be a living wage in this as in any other business and the stand which the waitresses take that their pay should come from their employers and not from the patrons is a commend- able one. The idea of tips is entire- ly wrong. It places waitresses espe- cially in an undesirable light, to say nothing of giving encouragement to a practice which ought to be abolished. As long as the proprietors intend that it shall be that way and the waitresses understand that they are to look to patrons, through some meces- sary or unnecessary bit of attention, for the securing of their wages, it re- sults no differently than as if the whole expense for meals was made in one charge, It would be falrer to ths public and decidedly more so to those who serve them, without working any injury upon the business’ if such A plan as proposed was put into effect. It should not mean that adequate wages should be paid and the collec- tion of tips permitted at the same time, but there is unquestionably sound reason in desiring to abandon their reliance upon what they can coax out of the public for their wages. A change in the system would be an excellent thing and with it the tip should be: forbidden.

The bigness of the pras ject will undoubtedly make it a vefy imposing sight to witness besides the Breat_enthusiasm it is bound o cre- ate. The plan is that the occupant of every seat the Yale side of the bowl should have one of the blue sillke handkerchiefs and should wave it at the closing line of the first verse “Bright College Years” which will be between the halves. At the last line of the second yerse of the song ail will again wave their blue hand- Kerchiefs with the ption of the certain spectatore ), are sitting in those seats where white handkers chiefe will have been placed before the game Those spectaters will wave these white handkerchiefs which haye teen providéd and thus form the word “Y-A-L-E" in white on the blue back- ground which the other handkerchiefs will form. Blue hankerchiefs have Dbeen mailed to each of the subscribers, old players, and graduates. 1t is es< timated that fully 10,000° spectators will participate in forming this huge Y-AdL-E. Considerable uneasiness was felt this week when on Tuesday the crew management learned that but 76 of the 1600 tickets had been sold for the Yale-Columbia_boat race’ to be held on the New Haven harbor on Friday afternoon. That the student body should show such apparent deregard for, the one major sport in Yale that defeated Harvard last year, is more than the rowing authorities can under- stand. The crew management, think- ing that the undergraduates were de- sirous of seeing the race, chartered a large steamer to be anchored at the finish line. The management placed tickets on sale over a week ago but up to the evening of November ninth, three days before the race only 76 out of the 1600 had been sold. It is_the first time in over 40 years that Yale has met Columbia and not a_hundred tickets have been sold for the only avaiable spot from which the whole race may be sesa. Evidently in the excitement of football the undergradu- ates have forgotten everything else. In the belief that alumni associa- tions and preparatory schools would be glad to.use moving pictures of life at Yale, a serles of such views has just been completed. The committee in charge, which has been appointed by the Alumni Advisory Board, con- sists of Edward B. Reed, chairman, E. R. Embree, S. H. Fisher and J. R. Crawford. The photographs have been very_skillfully taken by the Connecti- cut Film Mfg Co. This twenty min- ute film includes interesting scenes on the campus, building the Bowl, coach- ing the football team, the Junior Pro- menade, the hockey ' game between Yale and Dartmouth, the Yale-Har- vard track meet, the Greek play in the Bowl, the class reunions and baseball games, and the Yale-Harvard boat race of last June. The committee feelss sure that the film will prove to be un unusually interesting one; in fact, it regards it as something quite novel and possibly the only one of its kind. It anticipates not only a wide demand for the film but a request for others of a similar nature.

The member- ship committee has Organized & sub- committee in évery class from 1850 to 1915, and confidently expects a mefm- ‘borship of 1,000 before the end of the year. A committee on employment has been appointed and is actively at work endeayoring to bring the unem- ployed Yale engineers in - fion with those needing them. By this a Yale engineer can more readily ob- tain a suitable position, while those in #|need of well-equipped ‘technical men bave a direct and effective channel of communication with such graduates of Yale schools. Membership in the As- sociation is however, by no means narrowed and restricted to engineers since it is stipulated in the constitu- tion of the organization that mem- bership shall be open to any person having a degrec from Yale University. The eligibility for membership of those who have been students at Yal University but have not recelved degree shall be subjected to the dl cretion of the BExecutive Committee and members of the Faculty and teaching staff of Yale University shall be eligible for membership although they do not hold degrees from Yale. l Stories of the War When the French Advanced. “When we have taken you out be- bore, we have shown you trenches,” said a French officer. “This time we are going to show you a field of vic. tory—Ilines of trenches which we took frém the Germans.” Not all the spoil had yet been re- moved from that section fifteen miles long and from one to five in breadth where, on September 25th and 26th, the French had broken back the siege Hne of the Germans with the concen- tration_ of infantry and the expendi- ture of a million shells. What looked like a man of war tur- the road. This cupola of riveted armor was dented by shell fragments. It had an opening for the swing of a small gun and a door for the exit and entrance of the crew, which could be fastened by & boit and a heavy chain. “There men were found inside — locked in", said an officer. “The tur- ret was set in the parapet of a trench at an important point of the line. All the German soldiers in the Heighbor- hood had either been killed or buried alive We had to break the lock to take the crew out. All three were alive but stunned. They had gone on firing their guns as long as they could.” Freely the Associated Press corre- spondent moved between the ld first line French and German trenches, which, for many months, had been zone of death for whoever showed himself. In front of the first line trench the Germans had barbed-wire entanglements five or six feet broad. A rabbit could not have gone through without being caught. In places now one had to search to find any wire. It had been chopped into bits by the bursc of shrapnel bullets from the “soixante quinze” guhs and then kneaded Into_the earth by high explo- sive shells. Those guns had been fir- ing from a range of anywhere from two tHousand to five thousand yards, yet with such accuracy that they could hit this ribbon of. wire six feet broad. On such accuracy depended the success of the infantry in reaching the German trenches. There must be guns and shells enough to destroy wire over a front of fifteen miles. If the Germans in the trench with their rifies and machine guns and hend grenades could go on firing it meant murder for the Frenchmen exposed in the open as they charged. So fifteen or twenty yards beyond where the ‘wire was being cut more shell-fire had to kill the fire from the German trenches. Some blasts of shrapnel bullets here, too, enough to make any man in the German trench- es want to keep his head down if he was not buried or eviscerated by high explosive ehells. For hundreds of yards ins some places there was scarcely any semblance of trenches after the French guns had p: the way for the Freneh infantry. It was as if the trenches had been dyna~ mited svstematically with ol plotted out checker-board fashiop. At other places Where the destruc- tion had not been so lete It was possible to see what the German trenches were like and with what smazing thoroughness and care they tad been built. To a layman they seemed rable, Down these slanting s under the parapets were caves twen- y and thirty feet deep for refuge in 2 bombardment. In many cases the openings had been closed by ythe from The patapst fromm The. concuse) the parapet from the concussion of a large ealibre howitzer shell and ali the men within were buried altve.

We ran as fast as we comld. The sooner we got to those tremches tiie better—the less time the Ger- mans had to recover from the shell- fire and begin firing at us” Did you get as many Germans as they got of you™ “More, In the first trenches many more.” The question a score of times of «fficers and men always brought the satne answer. It was In toe second and third lines of tremches that the French suffered most;_for their guns could not always cut the barbed wire or blow the trenches to pieces so succesfully far- ther on as the troops swept forward thioughout the greatest day in the history of the war on the western front till night found them digging in- to the earth under cover of the dark- ress five miles beyond their old first 1o trenches. line German and Austrian Hotelkeepers in Paris, French hotel proprietors have been very much worked up by recent pub« lication of a list of ecleven leading ‘Parisian hotels that are still under the directions of Germans or Aus- trians who have taken the precaution to have themselves neutralized be- fore the war, and who thus escaped the sequestration of their property and other measufes taken by the French government akainat subjects of coun- tries at war with France. The owners of these hotels have acquired inter- ests that cannot be justly interfered with, but what can be dome, in tho opinion of leading members of the principal -hotel syndicate is to devel- jop more largely distinctively French hotels under French management, and with French employes. To accomplish this, greater extension is to be given to institutions organized for the train: ing of hotel employes and an effort will be made to find capital sufficient to support such French hotel enter- prises as are needed in certain places to compete with forelgn establish- ments.
