SERVES M DISUSE Of ' - THE FOLLOWING Otfclltjv the string broke from the dope sack and spilled the beans for the warriors. The Bearcats wal loped the militarists with a fine score, after a slashing game which showed up the collegians as genuine major leagne materi al. The team has settled pretty certainly to . Doney, center; Gil lette and Logan, forwards. Dim- ick will surely bold one guard position against all comers, and the other-may be fought for by Patton and Socolofsky. Edwards and Caughlfn are good new mate rial, who may be part of the traveling squad, to be used if necessary. Harra is another good prospect, as shown np in the clasa games, though he has not turned out regularly for team work. The tightening up in scholastic requirements has cut off not a few of the prospective player in Willamette, as well as In other schools. Down at Oregon, it is understood that this "scandalous" insistence on,, book-larnln' and Bk all-work In classes has almost ruined them for miscellaneous athletics. It is responsible for a number of promising players forsaking the bright lights of tbe gym floor for the headachy student lamp and the grim companionship of spectacled ogras who write dry and tasteless books. As the Wil lamette scholarship standard has always been high, the Bearcat en thusasts feel that the bead-work insistence max even give them the best of the season, ajid with the promising team material now in line, they have a splendid chance to clean up the whole scholastic learue. The disaster of losing their gymnasium In the f're last spring Is a serious handicap for the Bearcat athletes in every line of sports. They do not hate the ar mory for niRht use. this year, so their hours are woefully circum scribed. V,- i Coach BoWer is busy laying out a schedule for the winter work that will bring every' male stud ent into the required activities. Even the basketball program for the varsity team may have to take the worst, of the crowding, and baseball might have to get the axe altogether, in favor of track athletics that would ac comodate a much larger number of men.

Underwood Omcur Senator Underwood expressed "hearty concurrence" with Mr. Root's views. "I believe we have now reached at thistable," he said, ' the divid ing of the ways as to what the conference stands for. Are we to to proclaim that we are still tied to the dead body of the war that is past, or that the civilized na tions of tbe world desire to ac complish new ideals of peace, that we intend to put war behind and peace ahead? "If we are only met here for a temporary arm conference, if we are only temporarily tired of war. with our treasuries exhausted if we agree to fly the white flag for a few years until we grow strong for war again, let us ad journ now and let the horrors of the next war teach statesmen the lesson which is necessary, that civilization may progress toward the ideal of permanent peace. Italian Kx plains. "If we are met here only to save dollars or francs or shil lings for a few years, we had better adjourn." 4 Senator Schaazer said a mis understanding as to Italy's posi tion appeared to have arisen which he could not "for one instant al low" to continue. It must not be thought that the Italian delega tlon was 'o'pposed to any measure tending to render war less inhu mane" he said, adding: "It is surely not" the Italian del egation that one could reproach for any hesitation In supporting anything which can make us pro gress towards a higher clvtllza tion." The Italian purpose had been he said, merely to bring out such explanations of the wording of the Root resolutions as those "Mr Root has been kind enough to give." Italy, he added, would not press the suggestion for refer ence to a committee of jurists if the naval committee thought it could accomplish Us purpose by further debate.

He" bad hoped yesterday, Mr. Root continued, that delegations would seek expert legal opinion on bis proposals over night and we "would have had bere today the results of that inquiry." "I would like to say," he con tinued, "that I would like to know whether any delegation questions this statement of existing interna tional law. Yon are all in favor of the principle of the resolution if it is correct. Does this, or does it hot state the law of nations as it exists? If it does, you are all in favor of it. What, then hinders its adoption?" British Advisor Questioned Mr. Root read again the brief principles of his article 1 and again asked if there was any ques tion as to the correctness. "Mr. Malkin," he said, turning to one of the British legal advis ers. "is there any doubt about that?" Mr. Malkin replied that "in principle there was no doubt at all Mr. Root then took up his reso lution proposing strict' application of the rules he had set forth for submarines as well as other naval craft. The public opinion of the world says "he said, "that the submarine is not under any cir cumstances exempt from the rules above stated. That is a ne gation of the assertion of Ger many in the war that if a submar ine could not capture a merchant vessel in accordance with estab lished rules, the rules must fail and the submarine was entitled to make the capture. The public opinion of the civilized world has denied this and has rendered it judgment in the action that won the war. It was the revolt' of humanity against the position of Germany that led to Germany's defeat. Call it Real IJfo "My friends and colleagues. this is a real life we are dealing with here.

He invited an explana tion rrom Root. Sir Robert Borden for Canada. said he understood Mr. Root to have all tbe world that no man can commit such an act (as the sink ing of the Lusitania) again with out being stigmatized as a uirate." Mr. Root briefly rehearsed the rejection by the assembly of the League of Nations of the proposal of the advisory committee of jur ists assembled by the council of the league that a "conference for the advancement of international law" be created. Regulation Necessary 'The door was closed." he said. "Where do we stand TIs this not to be a world regulated by law?' The speaker said there was no adequate law to govern subma rines, aircraft or poison gases and "somebody must move." His reso lution, he said, proposed to re state "the rules of war that have been trampled under foot, flouted anad disregarded." Is there a delegation here," he continued, "that can afford to go back to its own people and say to them 'upon the proposal being set forth "existing mix temptation to misuse the weapons lcn nat' heen. or should have presented to use we referred It to remaining in their hands."

With the first Root proposal on its wsy toward adoption. Secre tary Hughes laid before the com mittee the second resolution as follows. "The signatory powers recog nize the practical Impossibility of using submarines as commerce destroyers without violation oi the requirements universally ac cepted by civilized nations for the protection for the lives or tne neutrals and non-combatants and to the end that the prohibition or such use shall be universally ac cepted as a part of the law of na tions, they declare their assent to such prohibition and invite ail other nations to adhere thereto." Taw Trampled Under Foot Mr. Hughes said that as Mr. Root had explained "this was a proposition to change the law" es the first resolution had at tempted to state "the law which had been Ignored and which had been trampled under foot, but which nevertheless had been and still was regarded as international law." The chairman added that he assumed the purpose of the resolution1 to change the law was to make this declaration ot prohi bition of submarine warfare against merchant craft a substi tute for the first proposal when the powers of the world all had concurred In that substitution. Pending such occurrence he ex plained, the first proposal will be the governing law of nations cn the subject of submarines as expressed by tho conference and to which It asks adherence of powers outside Its circles. V Mr. Root agreed in this, he ex plained saying it reoutred "unl versal assent to establish a law of nations" bat that the first dec laration "created nothing- mere ly certifying, to what - existed." while the second called for an act by tbe nations which did not take journed?'

'The first militant force against the enforcement of the 18th am endment," Commissioner Haynes said, "is a hghly developed and persistent propaganda which seems to be organized in certain quarters. It has as its purpose the impression upon the public mind that prohibition Is not en forced and cannot be enforced and this because ot the unpopu larity of the dry law among the masses of the people. Mont Enforce Law . . "There is no law against any effort to amend our constitution, but we should bear In mind that organizations seeking to repeal the 18th amendment must keep to their task and not attempt to null ify this law or prevent its opera tion while It remains a part of our constitution." Taking up the remark that the prohibition law is a joke, Mr. Haynes observed that "we haVe allowed the lawless and discon tented to pervert our sense of humor." None Above the Law "The law will cease to be a joke," he declared, "when the law reaches the men who today treat it as a joke, and who bring-tbe law into disrepute by the'r atti tude and their actions toward it. The law will be taken seriously when It is seen that there are none above the law." Judges expressing "disdain" of the act from the bench were told by the prohibition commissioner that "it is time that such judges took the matter of prohibition more seriously."
