"I am delighted with the game. Mis

Roper, Princeton head coach, made yes
terday after the annual Missouri Kansas
football classic.
Mr. Roper left at 8:30 o'clock last
evening for his home in Philadelphia,
after being a guest of Mr. and Mrs. E.
Sjdney Stephens since Wednesday. He
came after the football schedule at
Princeton closed especially for the
Homecoming game. He went by the way
of Chicago in order to make a quicker
trip home.
Mr. Stephens said this morning that
Mr. Roper was ver) glad to be back in
Columbia for two outstanding reasons.
He lias a warm attachment for the Uni
versity of Missouri, as he was coach of
the famous football team of 1909 and
also interested in Henry Canity, Tiger
mentor, who pla)ed under Roper at
Princeton.
Mr. Roper told Mr. Stephens that he
was impressed with all three members
of Missouri's coaching staff. Garrit),
Lewis and Duorkcl and tint they showed
a splendid spirit or co-operation that
made it possible for him to be of assis
tance to them. Roper thinks that there

HARVEY PREDICTS NO WARS
American Ambassador Sajs People
Are Tired of Strife.
Br CoHtoLJalett Ptttt Au. (Ccpyrtthl 1923),
Louo, Dec. 1. Speaking at the
Forum Club's Thanksgiving dinner, Am
bassador George Harvey declared that
the tremendous imlitical changes through
out the western world within the last six
weeks proved that nations, hitherto the
most warlike, are now tired of fighting
and are becoming more and more im
bued with the idea that war is utterly
senseless.
"No less than five governments," said
the ambassador, ''have Iieen changed in
a revolutionary manner within six weeks
without bloodshed and with remarkably
! little furor. Turkey has peaceably de
posed the head of one of the greatest
religious bodies in the world. Almost
at the same time 150,000 armed men
marched upon Rome and took over the
government of Ilal). In Greece popular
opinion forced the abdication of the
king. Both Great Britain and Germany
made sweeping changes of government
but without internal strife.
"From thee events one must draw the
conclusion that peoples are so tired of
fighting that they refuse to consider
thoughts of new wars. I believe that
it would be well nigh impossible to drag
the American people into a new war."

HERRIN JURY IS INCOMPLETE
Three Men Still Held as Likely Ma
terial for Second Panel.
By Viuud Prtti.
Mario1, 111, Dec. 1. Faint hope is
held out for the completion of the sec
ond panel of the jury in the first Iler-j
rin massacre trial.
The home of Joel W. Carter, about
two miles north of Columbia on Black
foot gravel, was desire) ed by fire early
this afternoon. The house was estimated
to be worth 'about J 12.000. Mr. Carter
carried only about $5,000 insurance.
Mrs. Carter said lhat they had guests
and had just finished dinner and were
still sitting at the table. Her grand
children had gone upstairs to go to bed
and one of them called out that there
was a fire at the window. Mrs. Carter
went up to investigate and found the
roof in flames.
The Columbia fire department ans
wered the call but was unable to save
the bouse because of lack of water.
Water was pumped from a well close to
the house by means of the pressure pump
on the White fire truck but the suppl)
soon gave out.
However, there was enough water
available to save the buildings close to
the house. Most of the furniture from
the lower floor was saved by firemen
and volunteers.
Mr. Carter is the father-in-law of W.
M. Dinwiddie, city altorne).
The house was willed to Mr. Carter
by his father, and he had lived there for
thirty-two )ears. They had just fin
ished improving the house, putting in
hardwood floors and all the modern con-
retary of the Ohio Federation

Berlin, Dec. 1. -The charge made by
Georges Clemenceau that Cermany is

in declaring that "not a single machine
