Committee On Arrangements.
Invitations to participate in the j
American Peace Society’s centenary !
have also been accepted by leading
members of the diplomatic corps at
Washington. They include Sir Esme
"Howard, M. Paul Claudel and Nobile
O acomo de Martino, respectively, the
Ambassadors of Great Britain, France
end Italy. Eventually, it is expected,
practically all chiefs of diplomatic
missions to the United States will sig
nify their intention of taking part in !
the anniversary week.
On behalf of the American Peace |
Society, centenary arrangements are
in* charge of President Burton. Vice
Presidents David Jayne Hill and Jack- j
son H. Ralston and Secretary Arthur i
Deerin Call. The centenary is to par- I
i ike of the character of a monumental j
round table on world affairs. Ques
tions directly bearing on the United
Slates' affairs will he conspicuous. In
their discussion distinguished Amer
icans from all walks of public life will
participate.
The society announces that "an ex
change of views and a clearing of
minds” will take place, for example, j
on these purely American issues:
\Vhat is adequate national defense j
for the United States?
What should be the policy of the [
Government of the United States on j
the question of disarmament?
Should the Government of the j
United States be urged to negotiate •
further treaties embodying the prin- :
ciples of arbitration, conciliation, etc.? j
Is military training in the schools
and colleges of the United States de- j
airable?
What can he done to establish co- j
operation among the various peace
organizations in the United States?
(There are now more than 100 or
ganizations with Independent budgets,
many working at cross purposes).
In what way may real peace work
ers effectively combat un-American
propagandists who are dominating
' end influencing some peace organiza
tions. and are active in schools, col
leges, churches, clubs, etc.?
Should the American Peace Society
renew its efforts for the calling of the
third Hague conference for tbs re
statement and codification of itft*ma- 1
tional law?
International Realm.
In the. international realm, as dis- -
tinguished from the field of more ex
clusively American questions, the i
centenary program will embrace these i
paramount and far-reaching subjects: j
* What can be done toward the ulti- j
mate outlawing of war?
What steps should be taken to!
bring about a uniform policy among 1
nations respecting protection of in- i
vestments for the development of
backward countries?
M. Briand. foreign minister of
France, will lead the discussion on
the outlawing of war. Jgist Spring
M. Briand proposed to Myron T. Her
rick. American Ambassador at Paris
a treaty between France and the
United States, designed to outlaw war
between them The scheme lias lain
dormant in the interval, pending the
jet urn to their respective posts of!
Mr. Herrick and of M. Claudel, j
French Ambassador in Washington. J
The French foreign minister is
wel] remembered in Washington from
the time of his eloquent leadership of
the French delegation at the Wash
ington armament conference in 1921.
Sir Austen Chamberlain will moke
his first appearance in the United ,
States as British foreign minister. j
Dr. Stresemann. German foreign see- ;
rotary, has never visited this country. 1
His presence here will excite interest ;
from many standpoints.
Next year will be the crucial 1
period of the Dawes reparations pinn. i
when Germany’s annual payments j
w ill )>e enormously increased. There !
are many signs that the Reich pro- j
.loots an impressive demonstration of j
Germans’ incapacity to bear the S
reparations burden henceforward in- j
osirnbent upon them and will seek a j
sweeping revision of the Dawes plan.
Stresemann was recently described in j
. "Washington by H. Wickham Steed, j
British editor, as the spearhead of |
the drive to bring about a “United j
States of Europe” for common politi- j
. cal and economic action.
Success Is Assured.
Dr. Arthur Deerin Call, secretary j
the American Peace Society? says - j
• “The importance of the Cleveland j
centennial is assurari. The American j
public, when it learns of the brilliant j
names thut already adorn the accept
ance list, will agree that it

: ures. Briand, Chamberlain and
4 Stresemann are better known to out
.pfiople than some of our other visi
t<>rs, but the latter include men no

toi-n countries and of Europe.

Budget Bureau Said to Have
Eliminated Item for
Gravelly Feint Field.
•
Reports that the Bureau of the j
j Budget in secret hearings on the Dis- |
! trict budget had eliminated the $150.-
! 000 asked by the Commissioners to
: start work on the proposed municipal
j airport at Gravelly Point brought
I neither confirmation nor denial from
j Brig. Gen. Herbert 11. Lord, the bu- j
reau director, yesterday. Gen. Lord
declared that the airport appropria-I
tion was still under consideration with j
other items asked by the Commission- j
ers. The Commissioners expect to be i
; notified of the bureau’s decision this j
week when the estimates are com- j
I pleted.
Pending the establishment of an air- j
port.the War Department has eon-j
sented to the use of Bolting Field for
contract air mail planes on the At- {
lanta-.N’ew York line which will start j
March 1. This permission was given j
only after Assistant Secretary F. Tru- i
hoc Davison had been assured that
definite steps would be taken toward
the establishment of a permanent mu
nicipal port and the Commissioners
had requested the Budget Bureau to
approve the § 17*0.000 appropriation for
the work.
Just how the reported action of the
i Budget Bureau in blue penciling the
! item would affect this arrangement
could not be learned last night.
' Warren 1. Glover, second Assistant
Postmaster General, in charge of the
air mail service, hopes that Washing
ton will retain its place on the New
York-Atlanta division. He -said the j
Pitcairn interests will be unable* to i
inaugurate the service before March 1. j
Ample Time for Action.
“This should give the District ample
time to persuade Congress to include
an appropriation for the temporary
use of Bolting Field until a permanent
airport is established.” said Mr.
Glover. "Otherwise, it is most likely
that Baltimore will have to be desig
nated as an official stop on the route.
It is m.v understanding that the War
Department agreed to permit the use
of Bolling Field as a temporary land
ing place only on the condition that
Congress appropriates for a perma
nent local airport.”
The terms set forth by the War
Department for the use of Bolling
Field followed a long series of nego
tiations between Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Coveil, Lieut. Donald .
Duke, his .aide in airport matters, ami
Mr. Davison. Mr. Davison stated the
1 terms governing the restricted use
of the Army Flying Field after the
Commissioners recommended the air
port estimate and after the committee
representing Washington's three trade
organizations had pledged their i
support. - ,
Mr. Glover stated yesterday that the
inaugural date of the New York-
Atlanta Air Mail Service had been
set back owing to difficulty with con
tracts for completing the beacon
lights to mark the route for night
flying. As a result of this delay, work
ing to the advantage of the District
in the light of present circumstances,
there will he enough time to bring |
pressure to bear on Congress to make !
the necessary appropriation for a j
permanent airport here.
Cost Placed at $765,000.
According to estimates prepared by
Army Engineers, the total cost of con
structing an airport at the Grtivell.v
Point site on the Virginia side of the
river below Highway Bridge would
be $765,000 if extended over a five-year
licriod. This estimate would provide
a class A field 3.000 feet long l»y 3.000
feet wide. Included in this estimate, j
it is understood, is the cost of con- |
structing the necessary hangars and j
offices.
| The burden upon the District tax- j
| payers, if the whole expense is to lx- j
i divided equally between the District j
and Federal Governments, as pro- '
posed, would amount to approximately
570.000 a year.
The District Commissioners, at the
time the budget estimate was sub
mitted, drew up a bill for the action
of Congress proposing that the initial
| payment of $150,000 for the work
: on the airport he "chargeable, one
half out of the revenues of .the Dis
trict of Columbia and one-half out of
i moneys in the United States Treasury
! not otherwise appropriated.”
i Selection of Gravelly Point as the
j airport Kite followed a light that j
■ threatened for a while to split wide j
i open the ranks of the various cit-!
\ izens' a social ions and the three trade
organizations. Proponents of the'

roll! leal Expediency In t ile.
“I contend that the highest duty
resting upon a political party at this
time is to recognize that fact, meet
it openly and courageously, call its j
voters and supporters to the contest
and tight it through to the end. In
the clear sunlight of this Issue mere
political expediency Is both discredit
able and futile,
“We know from the decisions of the
Supreme Court that we are passing
through a period in which corruption
; has reached to the very doors of the
White House, dominated cabinets and
1 cobbed the people of their inheritance.
‘‘We know that our daily press day |

Contending that there are only two

This sad drama went on into the
final quarter. With only eight min
ifies.left to play, something happened.
Yale had the hall on Princeton's 42-
yard line. A penalty put them back
on the 47-yard line. Things looked
bluer than ever when suddenly lloben
snapped a long pass, which went
soaring up so high that it. looked as
If the pigskin was full of hydrogen.
Immediately the 22 men scattered
over the gridiron as if it were red
hot. They spread in a dynamic fan.

a young son of Eli named Fishwick.

Instantly the Yale Bowl became

The Yale stands got rid of all‘their j

Ten dollar hats sailed into the air
at crazy tingles. The whole assem

and life of the wet-and-dry issue.
Referenda on the prohibition ques
tion were characterized by senator
Borah as “Insincere and ineffective.”
Modification of the Volstead act, he
declared, “cannot give that which the
Constitution prohibits --to wit, intoxi

Rallying the women to the issue,
the Idahoan insisted they alone “ran

“There is only one way by which
this law can be enforced,” he declared,
referring to the prohibition act, "only

The second touchdown came 4 min- i
tiles after the first and in the final -I
minutes of play. Princeton disorgan
ized by the evil which overtook them,
never had a chance to even things up.
In summary, the aspects of the game
which stood out were the sudden pass
of lloben to Fishwick, which turned
Hie tide for Yale; the remarkable de
fensive plyying of Charleswdrtb and
Decker for Yale; Witt trier's plunging,
which led to Princeton’s touchdown,
and the defensive strength of Prince
ten. which enabled them to hold Yale
scoreless twice within their own 5
yard line.
After'the game Yale undergraduates
poured down upon tho field of the
bowl and snaUe-datieed behind theii
gaudy band, which played “Bull Dog,
Bull Dog, Bmv Wow Wow." One fig
ure stood aside, unswaliowed by the
great swelling serpent of triumph,
j lie stood looking on for some time,
thoughtfully, then turned and became
! lost In tiie anonymous mass pouring
into tiie nan rest tunnel —a broad-shoul
dered young man, bare-headed, muffled
!In an overcoat. The great Caldwell
: had not been needed by the Bull Dog
this time, and so instead of being the
i central figure of a varsity tragedy, he
had dwindled to ordinary proportions.

CANADIAN TROOPS
Review Held on White House
Lawn as Visiting Band
Plays National Anthem.
The rear grounds of the White ’
House presented a colorful and in-!
teresting picture yesterday afternoon
when President Coolidge reviewed the!
Canadian so'diers who came to Wash
i ington to attend the ceremonies at
I Arlington on Armistice ray incident j
Ito the dedication of the monument !
j given by the Canadian government in
I memory of the Americans who fought I
land died in the ranks of Dominion
j forces during the World War.
i In this military outfP.- so resploo
i dent in their gay uniforms, were 101
j members of the Royal Canadian Regi
ment and the Twenty-second Regi
ment, 50 members of the Royal Ca-*
nadian Regimental Rand, tt trumpeters
of the Royal Canadian Hors? Artillery
and the Royal Dragoons, and 150 mem
bers of the Forty-ninth Highlander
Bagpipers. Kaeh man wore one or
more military decoration-, many of
them having the Canadian Military
Cross and a few of them the Distin
guished Service boss.
.Mrs. Coolidge Looks Oil.
Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister
to this country, and a score of officials
of the Canadian government who par
ticipated in the dedication ceremonies
at Arlington Friday, were gursts of
the President during the review. Mis.
Coolidge was not ft party to this
ceremonial, but she enjoyed the sight
from one of the upper windows *«f the
White House.
Accompanied by Col. Blanton Win
ship and (’apt. Wilson Brown, ins
military and naval aides, Minister
Massey and Maj. Murray Green, in
command of the Canadian#, the Presi
dent walked in review along the two
lines formed by the soldiers. Maj.
Green proudly answered the inquiries
made by the Executive during this
brief tour. The President then took
up a position in front of the outfit and
received tbe presentation of the legi
mental colors, duringwhich theß.»>ol
Canadian Band played a gay air. This
same band pl ayed “The Star Spangled
Banner" earlier during the review.
The spectacle off these military men,
all of whom with the exception of the
members of the Highlanders' Band,
who were attired in kilties, wore scar
let coats and black trousers and
white spiked helmets, was a brilliant
one.
Infantry Acts as Escort.
Probably the most inspiring feature
of the affair was playing of "O'Can
ada' by the Highlanders as they
marched at the head of the outfit on
the way from the lower east gate
through the grounds to the green
sward directly in front of the rear
portico.
At the conclusion of the review the
President and* his aides and Minister
Massey posed in a group photograph
with the Canadian officials and sol
diers.
The military outfit left the grounds
by the lower west gate, where they
were met by a company of the 12th
U. S. Infantry stationed in this city.
Just prior to the review of the
troops the President informally re
ceived Minister Massey and the
Canadian officials In his oflice. Among
the latter were Dr. J. 11. King, minis

NEW HUDSON RIVER
TRAFFIC TUBE OPEN
| Precident’s Signal Clears
! Tunnel Linking Two States
' at Co*t of $48,000 000.
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. November 12. —The
new 118,000.000 Holland tunnel—a
subrftr line boulevard linking New
York and Jersey City under the Hud
son—was formally opened today with
elaborate ceremonies on both sides of
the river.
At a telegraphed signal from Presi
dent Coolidge. flags draped across the
tube openings were dropped and seven
years of labor had ended. Thousands
who had gathered for the■ ceremonies
I.in Jersey City trooped through the
liig tubes, preceded by the widows of
two engineers who died before their
work on tlie tunnel was completed.
Notables Take Part.
At one minute ‘after midnight to
night the tunnel will be opened, to
commercial traffic, an event bringing
realization of the dreams of Clifford H.
Holland, its designer, who died in
1023.
Gov. Smith of New York, Gov.
Moore of New Jersey, several mem
hers of Congress and Rfii mayors took
part in Ihe program at the Jersey
City terminus. Mayor Walker and
officials of the Tunnel Commission
conducted ceremonies on New
York side. !
A note of reverence marked the
speeches for Air. Holland, Milton 11.
Freeman, his successor, who died four
months after taking over the work,
and (lie 13 workman killed while the
tubes were under construction.
Tube Well Ventilated.
New York’s representative; had
passed through the tunnel to Jersey
Citv after a luncheon here. At the
half-way mark a silken cord marking
tiie interstate boundary was cut by
Anna Boyle Egnor, granddaughter of
John F. Boyle, a member of the New
Jerspy Tunnel Commission, who also
officially dedicated the Camden-Phila
delphia Bridge across the Dataware.
Provided with 20-foot roadways, the
twin tubes. 0.250 feet long, have an
estimated capacity of 3.800 vehicles
hourly and 15.000,000 vehicles a year.
A toil system, which charges rates
ranging from 25 cents for a motor
cycle to $2 for a heavy motor truck, is
expected to provide revenue that will
pav costs of construction in 10 years,
although the estimated period was 20
yea rs.
A change of air 42 times an hour,
the engineers claim, will provide an
atmosphere In the tunnels even purer
than that breathed in city streets.
The ventilation system Is regarded as
one of the greatest engineering tri
umphs of the entire project.

HARVARD ATHLETIC
CHANGE DESCRIBED
Dsan Chase Addresses
Washington Alumni—Prof.
Kennedy Also Speaks.
Changes in th* athletic system at
Harvard were described to the Wash
ington Harvard Club yesterday at its
second weekly luncheon in the Har
vard room of the University Club
by Dean George 11. Chase of the Col
lege of Arts and JjCieucps An effort
is being made, Mi. to make ath
| leties truly reorenMi;t6l by removing
the more intensive a after ts of training.
The i\\tension of the tutorial system
jat the university was credited with
! the fact that more students are being
graduated with honors than formerly.
Dean Chase explained, due to some
extent to the opportunities presented
to make a closer study of a chosen
field. Such students, he said, are
excused from courses otherwise re
quired. by reason of having spent ad
ditional time in a field deemed par
ticularly interesting. A reading
period immediately following the
Christmas recess has been established,
he declared, as an experiment, dur
ing which there is no obligation to
attend classes. I
The dean said a summary of grad
uate theses is now being published
to indicate various fields being cov
ered in research.
Dean Chase is representing Harvard
at the meeting of the Association of
American Universities.
prof, Arthur Kennedy of the School
of Electrical Engineering, a delegate
to the International Radiotelegraph
Conference, said that the 76 nations
now attending that parley represent,
perhaps, the greatest number ever
gathered together in the international
world.
Frederick Moore, newspaper corre
| spondent, for the past year special
correspondent for the New York
Times in China, will speak to the club
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the

KEY BRIDGf HEAD
HELD IN VIRGINIA
I
South Approach Belongs to
| State, Relieving Concessions
of Paying D. C. Taxes.
I The south approach to Key hvrKe
is within the territorial limits of Y?r
i ginia and located upon - f’ «lerr 1 pe n p.
jerty according to an opinion mi!>-
j milted to the District I’otiur.t .shm, rs
j yesterday by Corporation » M.-nsel Wil
li lain W. Bride.
The opinion, rendered at the request
of Maj. Edwin I*. lUcs**, superinten
dent of police, saves tin- prnpri«‘orß ot
concessions in the Washington .‘i Old
f Join in ion and the Arlington Fairfax
i Railway terminals tie e.course of pav
ing a license fee to ibe District, und
probably will result In the removal ot;
a numter of “no parking’’ signs which
the traffic: bureau has installed around
the circular roadway at the Virginia
end of the bridge.
Question Raised by Police.
The question whether the railwav
terminals are in the Distrii . Or the
State of Virginia was raised by Maj.
Hesse when he received a report from
Capt. Maurice Collins of the Seventh
precinct explaining that tno proprie
tors of the terminal concessions had
failed to procure a license from the
superintendent of licenses of the Dis
trict. hut were paying a fee to the
Old Dominion authorities in obedience
to a decree ot the State Supreme Court.
The Virginia authorities, on the other
hand, it was pointed out. had inform
ed the cohcessionares that they would
have to apply to the District for police
protection.
“An opinion has been requested
from this office as to whether the
license tax law of U>o2 is applicable
to certain places of business local* d
on the South approach to the
Francis Scott Key Bridge ‘jurisdiction
and control’ of which is given to the
Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia by the act of February 28.
11*23, and complete jurisdiction of
which whs assumed on November 21.
1924.” Mr. Bride’s opinion read.
Lies Beyond Boundary.
“It appears that the approach to
the bridge lies south of the high
water mark on the Virginia shore
and as such is within the territorial
limits of the State of Virginia and is
located upon property acquired by
the Federal Government for Federal
purposes. As such it is not within
the District of Columbia.
“Thus the businesses referred to are
not being conducted within the ter
ritorial limits of the District of Colum
bia. and not liable to the license
taxes provided for in the above act
referred to.”
When advised ’of Mr Bride’s opin
ion. Traffic Director William H. Hat
land said he would confer with in
spector E. W. Brown, in charge of the
Traffic Bureau, to discuss with him
the advisability of removing the “no
parking" signs. Consideration also
will be given to the withdrawal of po
lie, men detailed at the south end of
the bridge during the afternoon rush
hours to protect passengers who cross
the roadway from the Capital Trac
tion Co. terminal to the Washington
& Old Dominion Railway station.
COLD WAVE TODAY
NOT TO LAST LONG
Temperature Due for Rise, Fore
casters Say—Capital May
Miss Frost.
While Washington may he wearing
its mittens today, it’s not because
Winter himself has arrived, for it was
only his press agent who blew in out
of the Northwest last night to lower
the Capital’s temperature to the vicin
ity of ae degrees this morning.
Better still. United States Weather
Bureau forecasters said last night
that the pompous subordinate will
flourish about town today, tilting off
hats, nipping noses and ankles and
making himself generally mischievous,
only to scamper away again some
time tonight. While here, he isn’t
even expected to leave his hand-bill
of frost but is looked for to make only
a windy announcement that. r<j»>n.
Winter will come. Tomorrow, the
weather man says. Washington wiir
be hidden under fitful clouds while the
temperature, low today, slowly rises.
But some one isn’t taking the identi
fication of today’s visitor in very good
faith, for when the Weather Bureau
announced the cold weather for last
night and today, that skeptic promptly
stole a furnace from the basement of
1611 Connecticut Fred Dor
sey. the janitor of the building, ex
plained to the police yesterday aft
ernoon, that the heater was an old
one. dismantled to make way for the
new equipment now functioning at
the Connecticut avenue address, and
that it Was taken under a ruse by
men thought at the time to he those
who were to have removed it a month
ago.
