It all depends upon the efforts which are put forward by the business and exporting interests of this country as to how large a development there is going to be of the South American market and how much of the increased trade in that quarter of the globe is going to stick after the war is over. It is well enough to recognize that the demands from Europe cannot be wisely disregarded at the present time because if the opportunities for trade there are not met they will never re- turn, but for just the same reason the South American field ought not to be neglected. This country has never had its proper share of the trade with that continent when the location is con- sidered and it will never be able to make any appreciable gains unless full benefit is taken of the opportunity ‘which is now presented. Great Britain is temporarily forced to restrict its trade to South Ameris but there is no chance of permanent abandonment. It is already making plans for over- coming its handicap just as soon as the war lets up and it has the advan- tage of a long established banking system to aid it. Any idea therefore that this coun- try can afford to wait until after the ‘war before waging an aggressive cam- paign for better business in that di- rection is based on a wrong view of the situation. The time for showing the people of South America that we can fill their wants and to give them a proper idea of American goods is now and a serious mistake will be made if, while extending our foreign trade, it is not seriously attempted now. BARON FISHER'S STAND. In spite of all that has been said and done it is impossible not to ad- mire the stand which has been taken by Baron Fisher in the upper house of the British parliament. He has been long in the service of his coun- try and much dependence has been placed upon his advice as a naval of- ficer. Reference was made to the sup- port and advice which he gave by Winston Churchill in his defense of his acts while first lord of the ad- miralty, and inasmuch as Baron Fisher has resigned his place as one of the sea lords before Mr. Churchill was given a new portfolio it was natural to expect that Baron Fisher would have something to say in response to the part which Mr. Churchill claimed he took in directing operations. Baron Fisher did speak, but in speaking he believes that the public discussion of the mistakes that have een made should be reserved for such a time that it will not serve to create factions and injure the effectlveness of the directors of the war, He places the interests of the empire before self when he says: “I have been sixty-one years in the service of my country and I leave my record in the hands of my countrymen. The prime min- ister said that Mr. Churchill has said one or two, things he would better net have said and has necessarily and naturally Jeft unsaid some things which would have to be said. I am content to wait. It is not fitting to make personal explanations affecting national interest when my country is in the midst of a great war. It is a position which requires self control under attack, but he has prob- ably put a stop to an endless and needless discussion just now by his calm and deliberate statement. ' The need now is for harmony, not discord. KNOWINGLY TOOK LIVES. As a result of the effort of this country to get at the facts which sur- round the firing upon and torpedoing of the Itallan steamship Ancona, there has been received a cabled version of the affajr as furnished by the Aus- trian foreign office. This, as was ex- pected, justifies the action of the sub- marine commander. It sgettles any doubt there may be as to whether it was an Austrian or a German under- sea boat and it places, as was expect- ed, the responsibility for the large loss of life upon the officers of the Ancona. There are conflicting statements as yet concerning this horror, for while passengers have declared that the fir- ing upon the stéamer continued after it had halted, the Vienna version is fhat not a shot was fired after the utes before the ship ship had been able to who had been left behhld’. nothing whatever was being uted to the advantage of the central | th :’omwum SHIP PURCHASE BILL. ‘While the ship purchase measure, ‘which it has been antic’pated would be presented by the administration before the coming' session of congress, may not have received its final touches, the fact that it was the subject of a conference at the treasury depart- mert makes it certain. if any doubt had existed before, that such legisla- tion will be attempted this winter de- spite the opposition that developed when previously advocated. The plan as has been outlined by Secretary McAdoo on his speaking tour to the Pacific coast differs somewhat from the previous provisions, but it still ecalls for the expenditure of Jarge amount of the governmen! funds for the purpose of engaging in business in competition with private capital. It is the intention if the bill passes to maintain shipping lines ‘which could be operated by the gov-|ed, ernment or leased to private concerns as the directors might decide. ‘The purpose of such legislation is to build up the American merchant marine. That there is need for a big- ger merchant marine in this country and midre ships which fiy the American flag cannot be questioned. It is a need that has existed for a long time and yet despite the existing state of affairs the only move that has been made in the way of legislation to overcome the situation has brought about just the opposite results. Instead of encour- aging private capital to meet the exi- gency it has been frightened away and nothing promises to keep it frightened more than this new effort to engage in the government ownership of steam- ships. CHICAGO’'S DEFECTIVE BABE. The case in Chicago where an in- fant only a few days old has been al- lowed to die because of the mental and physical defects which already existed, including. deformities which could not possibly be overcome, has excited much comment. It is bound to cause much more discussion. It was the opinion of the attending physician that the spark of life in the babe should be sacrificed because of the menace and burden it would have been to society and that it was the greatest blessing that could have been hoped for the infant. Even the moth- er, after having been apprised of the child’s condition, agreed that it was far more humane than that the last effort of science should have been ex- erted to sustain life without there be- ing any chance of overcoming the de- fective conditions or preventing a life of misery and suffering. Others feel and will doubtless con- tinue to do so that everything should have been done to keep alive that baby in the hope that science would eventually overcome the conditions. They feel that it should have been giv- en every attengjon that would have been shown in cases where it was known science could correct. They would at least have attempted it even though it should be found in the future that most of its life was destined for the operating room of the hospital, for the restricted limits of an institution for feeble-minded or defectives, or endless suffering as long as it did live. However the case may be viewed, there is the satisfaction of knowing that there is now no chance that its unfortunate condition can become the star attraction of some sideshow. EDITORIAL NOTES. The uncertainty of business condi- tions is nothing compared to that of the map makers. — Everyone who starts to tell his trou- bles finds that it takes time to listen to the other fellow’s tale of woe. The price of radium is said to have dmppey from $120,000 to $36,000 a gram. Who can afford to be without it? The man on the corner says: Shift- ing the responsibility onto someone is a good deal like the human in- stion to err. Perhaps the president of China de- sires to put off changing over into a monarchy until all the powers are able to give stronger advice. ‘When the Krupps contribute to the German war fund it simply means the bolstering up of business and the se- curing of greater profits, Perhaps some of the best Christmas cheer can be handed to the clerks be- hind the counter by getting the holi- day shopping out of the way early. From the position which Congress- man Kitchin is taking it looks as if Mr. Bryan would be pretty well rep- resented in the house this winter. Perhaps a new reason for Justice Hughes opposing the latest efforts to make him a presidential candidate is the fact that they come from the state which presented the Peerless One. The fact that a member of the U. S. marines has saved and made over $100,000 since entering the service ought to be a great recruiting argu- ment. The ease with which Servia is be- ing crushed must make the kaiser re- gret that greater attention had not been given to that little country be- fore. As long as the weatherman admits that the summer’s precipitation is two and a half inches below normal, it looks li%e an effort to prepare the peo- { vl for blizzards.

The gifts reported include the Alex ander Kohut Memorial Collection of over 10,000 volumes in the general field of Semitics. With this has come an endowment fund of $7,000, one-half subscribed by the son of Dr. Kohut, namely George Alexander Kohut of New York, and the remainedr by the Yale University Press, to establish the Alexander Kohut Memorial Fund. An- other significant gift connected with the Semitic department is of $1,400 from Mr. Ogden Hammond of the Class of 1893 8., for the establish- ment of a publication fund “in memory of Mary Stevens’ Hammond, and in recognition of the distinguished ser- vices to the University by Professor Albert T. Clay.” Mrs. Hammond lost her life on the Lusilania. A second endowment in memory of a Lusitania victim is that of the E. Bliss Thomp- son Scholarship in the Sheffield Scien- tific School. Mr. Thompson was a member of ‘the Class of 1904 S. The foundation, established by ‘his. widow, is for the purpose of an annual schoi- arship of $600 to be awarded a recipi- ent who shall be determined upon by the Governing Board of the Sheffield Scientific School. - The Corporation voted that Alumnj Day should be held this year on Washington’s Birthday, as usual. M. Scotten, Yale 1914, who to- gether with three other Yale men ent last year teaching at. Yale-in- ina, has given out some very in- teresting information as regards the development of the Changsha institu- tion. Mr, Scotten devoted the great. er part of his time to athletic activ ities among the Chinese students, and with Dr. Hume secured some interest- ing physical measurements. The com- parison between physical data of Chin- ese and foreign men shows that the former are inferior at most points. This finding refutes the theory of some that so-called simplicity of liv- ing conditions and absence of associa- tions of advanced community life tend toward health and soundness. conclusions rather point out the ad- vantages that attend the conveniences and even luxuries of civilization. Dur- ing the year 1914-1915 each one of the 69 new students has been gi complete physical and medical exami- nation, following the precedent started last year. The same methods and ap- paratus were used as are used at Yale. These examinations showed in several cases a marked necessity for immed- iate medical attention and in each case the student received the proper treat- ment. In order to stimulate athletics and advance the physical welfare of the students a student athletic asso- ciation has been formed, modeled af- ter the Yale system, with the control and management of athlétics entirely in the students’ hands, although the faculty athletic director is an honorary member. The students have taken great interest in the scheme and in- . Ask competition to Yale men, and it pected that with the encouragement of the Assoclation a large number of plays wil be entered by Yale students. The winter track season in the cage will begin shortly after Thanksgiving. The new track cage is nearly <om- pleted. The only delay is the laying of the floor, which -will be of the same material as that of the base ball cage. The cage will be 20 feet high, 20 feet broad and will run the length of the old cage, the Carnégie Swimming Pool, and a part of the Gymnasium building. It will contain a 75 yard straightway and there will be ample room for four men abreast to run in the hurdle races. The new cage has been built for the track team and there will be no more special hours on account of baseball practice in the old cage. At present the prospects for the team this year are not as bright as in former years. The scarcity of stars will make it nec- essary to develope a well balanced team. Undoubtedly the team will be particularly weak in the shot-put and the hnm{ner throw. . In answer to an inquiry as regards his disposition toward the Yale Bat- tery recently formed at Yal Ex- Secretary of State Willlam J. Brya has made the following statement: “I have no objections to voluntary mili- tary training—such as we have had in ¢ | the universities in the past—but am not willing to give endorsement at this time to any movement that can be construed as an encouragément to the preparedness propaganda which is be- ing fostéred and supported by the pre- parers of pi ness and the man- ufactureres 'of ammunition. There has never been a time in fifty years when we had less reagson to be frightened by the war bogie,” Two trophies have been added to the eollection in the trophy room of the gymnasium. They have been present- ed by Robert G. Mt:Clun,. brother of the late Lee McClung, “92. The tra- phies are two baseball championship banners presented to Lee McClung by the University Baseball team: bearing the date of 1889. The second banner is similar to the first but for the date 1890. While at Yale Mr. McClung played on the University football teams for three years. He was captain of the football team in his Senior year. The Corporation has ac- cepted these banners with the follow- ing resolution: “Voted, To accept with thanks the gift of certain athletic tro- phies belonging to the late Lee Clung and présented by his brother Robert G. McClung, and to direct the secretary to place these in the trophy room of the gymnasium.” Tuesday was Ladies 'Day at the Yale Club in New York, the first of a series of festivities marking the formal “housewarming” in the Club’s new qQuarters. After a ' luncheon for the women guests and their escorts in the The | large dining room. a tour of inspection was made, members of the club serv- ing as guides. Thursday was “Yale Club Day”. After the reception din- ner to the guests of-honor a smoker Wwas held in the club rooms at which President Hadley and Professor Taft were speakers. —_— With an aim of providing for co- operation between the universities and technical schools of America and the manufacturing interests of the nation to produce great efficiency the United States Chamber of Commerce has ‘written to\President Hadléy, as well as the heads of other universities sug- gesting this connection.

Stories of the War Briand, Man of the Hour. The circumstances of the resigna tion of the Viviani Cabinet and th formation of its successor furnishe a striking example of how war h overturned traditions. In times peace a cabinet is always overthrov as the result of a vote of parliamer. Sometimes that vote is decisive a occasionally - merely symptomn through sufficiently . significant ' make it apparent to the governme: that its life is so precarious that 2 attempt to hang on is only to retar: the inevitable. In this case there was really n cablnet crisis, properly speaking There was considerable opposition t the cabinet in Parliament, resultin: from the desire of deputies to knov details of military operations ‘whici the government refused to disclosc but in every vote the government hac a sufficient majority to justify its re mafning in power. All available in formation shows that the difficult: was in the interior of the cabinet it- self that the accident occurred. A: one deputy put it “the governmen died of a secret malady.” It is no the first time that a cabinet has re- tired after receiving a vote of conf dence. Curiously enough, the lates’ example of this kind was that of the first cabinet presided over by M. Aris- tide Briand.
