"Pink tea" football schedules sing their swan song this year. Tale and Harvard students are Insistent that the football mana gers get something worth while on the 1928 schedule to prepare their teams for the final big game. Princeton played a, stiff schedule that was a distinct departure from the usual easy marks taken on by the "big three." The Tigers believe it was the experience gained in the game . with 'Laf&Ttte, Colgate and JVest Virginia that enabled a green team to tie Har vard snd bent Vtle. If Harvard had bucked some hard games early in the season a different tale might have come from the Palmer stadium at Princeton. And if Yale had not chosen supposedly "sure win" 'same In making up the early season's sard, the Blue certainly would have made a better showing against the Tigers.

This work has been done under the direction of John H. Lewis, former state engineer, and the works have practically been completed and it is expected that water will be avail able fur irrigation next season.

TROUBLES IS CLAIM OF VISITOR ' "We have no I. W. W. troubles in La Grande these days because we have no I. W. W. In our midst," explained Geo. W. Cochran of La Grande, state water superintendent, who is-here attending a meeting of the state water board. "The people of a La Grande have found it necessary on. several occasions in the past to give consideration to the presence of I. W. W. temporarily so journing in our city but we have al ways attended to making the sojourn as temporary as possible. A couple xf years ago a meeting of the citizens was held to discuss ways and means of rid ding the community of about a dozen of these characters who had liked the looks of our city well enough to linger a little longer than we thought neces sary. The subjects of the discussion got wind of the meeting somehow or other and, evidently fearing harsh treatment, applied to the police for a place to spend the night under the pro tecting arm of the law. They were permitted to sleep in the city Jail and the next morning were placed aboard an outbound freight. That's the only successful way to handle the menace. If no community would tolerate the presence of the 'reds' they would soon be eliminated for want of a place in which to light long enough to concoct their nefarious scheme. And there Is absolutely no reason for any toleration of their presence in any American com munlty especially after this Centraiia outrage.". CAVE TO U-BOAT WARFARE, HE ADMITS By Cart 1. Groat United Press staff correspondent) Berlin, Nov. 18. Germany's unre stricted U-boat campaign was ap proved by Field Marshal Von Hin denburg and General Ludendorff be cause it was "necessary to prevent Germany's soldiers from being killed by American munitions and Germanys women and children from being starv ed by the entente blockade," the field marshal today toM ' the reichstag committee investigating the war.

Ludendorff declared before the com mittee, had she not feared Great Rrltnin nmnM usa It as a lever to force Holland and Denmark to ' de clare war upon Germany. The govern ment feared attacks from these two small countries particularly because troops were not available to stave off new attacks, Ludendorff said. The proportionate strength of Ger many and the allies was unfavorable to German arms from the start of the war. Von Hindenburg said, yet Germany would have won, he declar ed, had she been able to bring about the same cooperation between all ele ments that Great Britain ana trun did. Says War Not Sought narmsnv 'did not want war,. Von Hindenburg declared. Neither the peo ni thA kaiser, the eovernment nor the general staff desired armed con flict, he said. The general sum, par ticularly, he asserted, was fully aware of the -strength of the entente, it u urged preparation for war it was only because it considered that its duty to the nation, he declared. "Had there been solid cooperation between the army and the home land, however, we would have been victor ious," Von" Hindenburg said. "Party interests led to the breaking of the 'will to victory,' " he added. of demonstrations by na tionalists and communists led the"gov- ernment to place guards along von Hindenburg's route to the reichstag building.
