Interest now centers about what Germany is going to do in response to the demand which has been set forth by this country in its ultimatum. it is well known what course it has pursued . in response to notes in the past but that will not suffice now. Germany must decide whether it is going to maintain the submarine pol- icy which has caused the ruthless de- struction of life and property, or whether it is goinz to accede to the United States’ demand which under the circumstances is only fair and just, even though it has been too long delayed. The communication does not require the abandonment of subma- rine warfare, for this country would not presume to say that Germany must tie up its underwater boats any more than it would attempt to say that it could not send out commerce raiders provided they were governed by the laws of nations, but it does insist that there be an abrupt ending to “its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels.” That is a demand which is justified. Germany knows that it has not been respecting' the rights of neutrals and that it has not kept the promises which it has made to this country concerning the rights of its subjects on the high seas. It must recognize the moral, if no other serious effect which a break in the friendly relations with this country would cause, and it must understand that no such demand is made of other nations because no others, barring Austria which is its ally, have been pursuing such barba- rous methods. Germany is not belng asked to abandon any of its rights but to restrict itself to them and those of neutral nations, which makes the de- mands reasonable and unprejudiced. NUMBERING YALE PLAYERS. The reconsideration of the proposal that the Yale football players be num- bered has brought good results ac- cording to announcement that has been made by Captain Black to the effect that hereafter the players of that university will wear distinguish- g marks during intercollegiate con- tests. It was impossible to understand why Yale refused to adopt the idea when it was first suggested in view of the apparent help that is furnished thereby to the many thousands who witness the games every season. In a great mass of players, seen from a distance, it is impossible except for those who are well acquainted with them to distinguish one from another unless there is some mark of identi- fication. The lineup does not furnish all that is desired for with the many formations and the constant changes on the fleld there is a certain resem- blance among all the players which it is impossible to overcome on a grid- iron. That players have failed to get the credit they deserved and some have been praised for what others actually accomplished is indicated by Captain Black’s explanation that “As players, ‘we feel that, having been defeated for the past few years, we should like to be numbered next fall and have the re- sponsibility definitely placed upon us as_individuals.” Numbering the plavers will not win games and the lack of numbers can- not be said to be a réason for past losses but those who have witnessed games where players have been num- bered, which idea was adopted some time ago by Princeton, understand what a benefit to football such a scheme is, and Yale has done the right thing in yielding to the demand. NEW GREEK CRISIS. A new crisis has been created in Greece by the stand which Venizelos has taken and the utterances which he has made. From the time when it became necessary for that country to decide whether it was going to par- ticlpate in the war Venizelos has led the oppositlon to King Constantine's.| position. He stood for the support :& the treaty with Servia which the ing threw overboard. He favored the coming of the allles and their es- tablishment of their base at Salonik{ and he is today that same thorn in Constantine’s side that he has been from the very beginning. He had a strong following at the beginning and it is evident that that has not weak- ened any from the latest statements which he has made. Venizelos knows. this or he would not have dared to so openly challenge the attitude of the Greek:government. 1t is of course natural for thoss who have steadily differed with the Xking and his frequently changed cabinet to feel that the success of the :Austro- German drive through Servia and Al-| banfa was to a certaln extent their fanlt. Greece did nothing to oppose it though it was treaty bound to do #0. The Bulgarians are now govern- Ing a certain portion of Servia and Austria the remainder, with Albanian and Montenegrin cities algo under its contro] advantage Greece might have gained had it not falled to live up to |its Venizelos chal- lenge remains to be seen but coming st and M XY e e e STRENGTHENING THE ARMY. It cannot help but impress those | President ‘who recognize ze the need of taking the proper steps to increase this nation’s defenses, that wise action was taken by the senate when it amended the hamberlain bill so as to create a larger army even in time of peace than that provided. According to that bill there was planned a peace army of 178,000 which could be increased in time of war to 225,000 but the amend- ment creates a standing army of 250,- 000 men with a volunteer army re- serve force which is expected to run up to 261,000 besides which there will be the federalized militia which will provide 280,000 more. This is a decided increase over the Hay bill which was passed In the lower house providing for 140,000 as a peace army, .or but a slight increase over the existing army and it remains to be seen how the amended senate bill will be Preated when it comes up for action there. That the semate was encouraged to early action upon the bill by the con- ditions which have developed in for- eign relations is- indicated and it is time that this matter of strengthening the army was disposed of in accord- ance with the country’s needs. Cer- tainly a peace army of 250,000 cannot be said to indicate a militaristic ten- dency for from the size and import- ance of this country it suffers greatly by comparison with the standing ar- mies of much smaller nations than this. There is need, however, of get- ting the reorganization started and this can be hastened by the getting together of both houses of congress on this most important question. It is to be recognized, however, that much de- pends now upon the manner in which the house accepts the senate action. CARRANZA'S WEAKNESS. It is of course possible that certain reports whlich are coming from Mexico are as uncertain as that rumor con- cerning the death of Villa. Time will clear this up but if they are true it shows that Carranza is either doing his utmost to embarrass the punitive expedition from this country or else he lacks control over the troops which are supposed to be fighting for the de facto government. There are instances which lend color to the bellef that both of these trou- bles are faced by the United States forces after the trap into which the cavalry under Major Tompkins was led at Parral and the stories which are now coming from Mexico to the effect that constitutionalist troops are being moved to Parral for the purpose of preventing any further advance by the troops from this country. These reports being true it places Carranza in an unfavorable light. Neither is he displaying gratitude for the assistance which this country has given him through the recognition of his government, nor is he taking ad- vantage of the opportunity which is now afforded him of uniting with the United States expedition in running down and putting an end to the trou- ble-making bandit. By the stand which he has taken he is even lend- ing encouragement to the belief which prevails in certain portions of Mexico that this country is attempting a con- quest of that republic. He is failing to give either his moral or active sup- port to the removal of a common enemy, in spite of the known attitude of this government and the -careful manner in which our troops have re- frained from antagonizing the Mexican people. Not only sheuld Carranza prevent any attacks upon our soldiers on their present mission but he should see that there is no interference when the time for their departure comes. EDITORIAL NOTES. Speaking of a crisis, almost every day at parks. there is one the baseball The weather man is doing his best to contribute to the joy of the Easter season. Villa appears to be a decided suc- cess in keeping out of the way, dead or allve. Villa “dead” continues to cause just as much uncertainty as when jt was actually known where he was. The man on the corner says: The only way to make some people happy is to agree with them about life being a vale of tears. i Sl That New Jersey congregation which presented its pastor a plot in the cemetery hit upon a new idea for e donation party. The jump of a cent and a quarter a pound in prunes is additional rea- son for Worry on the part of the boarding house' keepers. The manner in which the cabinet crisis has been met in England shows how big problems can be solved if there is the disposition. S e s Holland wants to be let alone, but with warring neighbors on all sldes it isn’t a question what one wants but how much one will stand. The longer the wait the more cer- tain it becomes that the. United States troops will not be recalled from Mexico because of the death of Villa. From the way in which the charges egainst Thomas Mott Osborne are being dropped, it becomes evident that they ought never to have been brought, Maine has a day set aside for mall- ing postcards for the purpose of ad- vertising the state. It is an idea which others might copy with good results.

R N A | §ass R e e e - LOU TELLE "HE 1 Hadley to Take Western Trip—Football Coaches Appearance of Yale Battalion—Graduate Scientific Fra- ternity. WATKI Comedy New Haven,” April 20—Last Satur- day President Hadley announced his plans for a western trip to the Pa- cific coast during the Baster recess and the two weeks following. He will be accompenied by Mrs. Hadley and will visit several of the alumni asso- clatjons of the Far West. President and Mrs. Hadley will leave New York next Tuesday afternoon and return to New Haven, May 13. Arriving in Los Angeles, April 22, President Had- ley will be the guest of honor at an alumni dinner the night of his arri- val. The arrangements there are.in charge of J. P, Wood, "84 S. It is probable that President Hadley will visit Occidental College and other institutions in that city on the 24th. From Los Angeles the party will go to Yosemite Valley, where they will spend three days, leaving for Sam Francisco, May 1. Owing to the faqt that President Hadley attended a large and remarkably successful Yale din- ner at the time of the Exposition last July, no arrangements have been made for a Yale Association meeting in San Francisco. For this reason President Hadley will spend only one day there, arriving May 2, and leaving the next day for Seattle. S. L. Russel, 1902 S., who has charge of arrangements in Seattle, has.planned a Yale dinner on May 5, and a visit to the University of Washington. Leaving Seattle, May 7, the party will arrive in Spokane the same evening, where D. L. Hunting- ton, who has taken charge of the pro- gram, has arranged a Yale dinner on the 8th. The next day President Had- ley will start back for New Haven, arriving here May 13. ed the second crew in a short race of three minutes. At the end m of minutes the first boat had gained MATINEE by the a length on the second and DAILY third the first crew was leading by & length. The first and second crew: left New Haven, Tuesday afternoon. In New York they were the guests of the Yale club for dinner. The first university crew will room at St. An- thony hal and the second crew at the Phi Gamma Delta House at Peensyl- vapia, The two shelis to be used by the umiversity crews were sent to Philadelphia, Monday. A new shell presented by Louis Stoddard, '99, will be used by the first crew and the Jobn Hart will be used by the sec- ond. When asked as regards the con- dition of the crews, Coach Nickalls sajd:’ “The crews are doing quite well considering the extremely short time which they have been on the water. It is impossible to tell just what they can do until after the race on Satur- day.” The first crew will include: Bow, Hume; 2, Giifillan; 3, Low; 4, Sheldon; 5, Sturtevant; Meyer; MacNaughton; stroke, Harriman; cox, McLane. ALL NEXT WEEK Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Editor: The ible or pros- pective nomination of tl man at the coming republican convention next June is a serious problem. It does not seem possible that this convention would make such a seridus mistake. This is the man who nearly four years ago disrupted this republican party and made it easy for the democrats to elect their president. It does mnot seem possible that this republican con. vention would do such a disgraceful and dishonest thing. After seeing what this man did to destroy the republican party in 1912, it does not seeem possible that such a thing can happen. It is possi- ble that these delegates are so lost to reason, common sense, and good judg- ment as to do such an awful thing? This man repudiated the name or republicans and took another party name. He treated the president and all of the leading republicans in _ a mose shameful manner. Mr. Taft was made president, by request of this man; then he turned around and abus- ed him. All of the leading republicans such as Penrose, Barnes, Hendricks, and others, were ridiculed and impos- ed upon by this man. After this man repudiated the name of republican he now comes around and wishes they would again nominate him for presi- dent. He has done more to injure the republican party than any man in the United States. It is hoped that good sense will prevail at this con- vention and that this man will be re- pudiated for all time. The republicans should relegate this man to the shades of his native hearth in Oyster Bay or if that will not do send him to the wilds of Africa. I see Mr. Hughes is spoken of as a possible candidate. James R. Mann of Tlinols is a rising statesman of great ability. If this man could be nomin- ated and elected he would give this country a first class administration and would go out of office with the plandits of an admiring people. «Thousands and tens of thousands of republicans will not vote for Roose- velt and if he is nominated the elec- tiondnl a democratic president is as- sured.

SECURE YOUR SEATS EARLY At a meeting of the freshman track candidates held in the Ticket Office last Tuesday, T. G. Rodman, 1919, of Los Angeles, California, was elected captain of the freshman track team for the present year. Rodman prepared at Andover, where he was captain of track in his senior year. He also cap- tained the freshman relay team which defeated Harvard freshman team at the Boston athletic association meet in February. The university baseball team left New Haven, Wednesday morning for their annual Easter trip to the South. Twenty men composed the squad. Five games are scheduled to be played on the trip, the first being with Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, on Thursday, April 20. The other games wil be played with Pennsylvania, Vir- ginia, Catholic University and George- town. The game scheduled with Holy Cross at Washinston, for Tuesday, April 25, was cancelled on account of the impossibility of using the Wash- ington American league team's grounds on that date. Instead of play- ing this game, the team will see the American league contest scheduled for that afternoon. The Yale Battalion made its first appearapce in public Monday evening in conjunction with the Governor's Foot Guard, taking part in the parade which celebrated the new lighting sys- tem which was opend up in Elm street and Proadway)™ a movement started by the merchants to develop the prop- erty about that section of the city. The parade started from the Second Regiment Armory at 8; the Governor's Foot Guard, about 150 in number, led by their drum corps, marched from the Armory up Church street to the Green, where it was Joined by the Yale Bat- talion, a platoon of the New Haven police, and the regular Foot Guard band. As the parade passed York street, a bomb was exploded in salute. A display of fireworks took place on the upper Green, including a large set piece in many colored lights, on which 'ew Haven” was spelled out in twx foot letters and the whole surrounded Dy the American flag. Mayor Rice then turned on the lights which ex- tended the length of Broadway and part way into upper Elm street; the street lights were turned ogt for bet- ter effect. Mr. Whitlock, retary of the Merchant's Association, in a short speech expressed his apreciation In behalf of the Association, for the co- operation of the Yale Battalion. G. Lowes Dickinson, of King's Col- lege, Cambridge, England, an author- on International relations, spoke on International Reconstruction After the War,” in Lampson Lyceum, last Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Yale International Policy Club. He suggested that a compulsory “cool- ing off” period be enforced before the war by the majority of the great Powers until the nations shall recover from tke effects of thé war. The United States, he believes, is in a po- sition to take the lead in this mat- ter and thereby perform a service to civilization. In addition to his duties aet King’s Coliege, Mr. Dickinson is also_a lecturer at the London School of BEconomics ard Political Science, and has been associated with a group of international thinkers in England. He is a member of the Advisory Council of the Council, for the study of International Relations, which or- ganization was formed in the spring of 1915 in England, and of which the Rt. Hon. Viscount James Bryce is president. The aim of the Council is ‘o promote the impartial Study of in- tenational relations from all points of view.
