All ot these at tacks wore repulsed. In connection with the advance ot part of our troops toward tho Bzura River.

IILL NO LONGER RDLE FOOTBALL Gridiron and Advisory Com mittees Will Hereafter Dictate Policy Brooke Must Conform to System. Pennsylvania's football system fof 1315 Is not to be dominated by a head coach. When a matter of coaching or ot policy Is to be determined the votes of both the head coach nnd the captain will be a minority It the Football Committee, and the Graduate Advisory Board to serve with the cbmralttee, differ from them. This is the dictum of tho new Football Committee and tho influential alumni who were responsible for the election of Wharton Slnlder and Ernest Cozzens as graduate members ot this body. This decision, too, has been reached uithout confeience with George Brooke, the head coach, o still has a year to seie. It means that Pennsylvania will not permit another excursion Into the field of new football ideas, which ,has been getting more and more pronounced since the departure of Dr. Carl Williams as head coach at the clpse ot tbe 1905 season The graduates, who have always been convinced that, the old system was but, are determined to get back to It. It means that Geqrge Brooke, If he re tains hit position next fall, will have to conform to the icw system or step out So far George Brooke has not been con sulted by the new committer, which first desired to go aver the. situation. and de termine the policy to be pursued. Brooke has announced that he wishes to be more of an advisory than an active head next fall Whether or not his Ideas will prove satisfactor) to the new committee will soon be determined To carry out Brooke's Ideas would require the appoint ment of an active field coach, but such a man wouli1 be more responsible to the football committee than to Brooke as bead coach This would ma'.-e Brooke's position very bard, and It is difficult to see how. .three suolt heads could work harmoniously. If tbe new committee holds to tbenposition It has taken there ai likely to be some radical develop ments in the football situation-within the next few weeks. Jir Brooke, tkte morning. dMUMd ab solutely to say ana word either about tbe racent and much dlsptisasd vow of the football wuad or Ma att!tie toward the plana of the new football cwnmltlee. He explained that be bad sot yet keld a con ference with tbe new commute, but ex pects to confer with thaw during the coming week. He farts ooondent, now aver, that after a oonfarno an agraa raeat tan ba reached for a harraeoUms settlement of preaent differences in- opin io!) as to coaching methods.

POLICY UNALTERED BY RATE DECISION President of Pennsylvania M Railroad Says Efforts id Augment Revenues Will Be Continued. Samuel Ilea, president ot the Pennsyl vania Railroad, in a statement ttMay, de clares tho granting of a E per cent, freight rate Increase to the Eastern railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission Is not so far reaching ns the roans believe necessary. Therefore, he says, the railroads must continue their efforts to conserve and augment their revenues from the sources the Com mission previously recommended. This statement was taken In financial circles hero to Imply the railroads, de spite the Increased freight rate, wilt re fuse to annul the lncreaso In passenger rates which they announced n month ago Mr. Ilea says tho Federal Government should anard the railroads the admittedly Just compensation for the carriage of malls and parcel post, and ho calls upon "tho fair-minded citizens" to see that tho Legislature, Federal and State, re lieve the railroads from enforced waste ful expenditures. MB. REA'S STATEMENT. Mr. Bea's statement follows: 1 regard this decision as the begin ning of a broad, constructive policy In railroad regulation so Imperatively re quired. It certainly Indicates tlfat the commission has been seriously Impress ed by nctual railroad and financial conditions, and we recognlre that the commission has carefully considered the entire situation nnd rendered what It believes to be a fair and equitable de cision. The decision, however, grants an Increase on only about 60 per cent of the .freight business of our system and Is not so far-reaching as tho rail roads believe to be necessary, There- fore the railroads, as tho commission emphasizes, must continue their efforts to conserve and augment their revenues from the sources the commission pre viously recommended. "We desire prosperity, but it Is linpos slDle for the country to prosper while railroad revenues and credit are inade quate, and, therefore, tho Increased rates should be generally helpful. Relying on the protection of public regulation, we will utilize the additional revenue In con tinuing our lines and equipment In good condition to render the best possible pub lic service and In sustaining our credit on a sound pails. "Tho. FejleraL GpYotnment JshouldWt tha same spirit, award the railroads the. admittedly Just compensation, so long withheld, for the carriage of malls and parcels post: and the citizens should see to It that the Legislatures. Federal and State, relieve the railroads from enforced wasteful expenditures. Under such Q helpful policy public regulation rests on a solid foundation and confidence, and prosperity will be greatly encouraged." RAILROADS WILL ACT TROMPTLT "The railroads will lose no time filing their new tariffs," It was said today at the offllcs of the Interstate Commerre Commission In Washington. As sobr as the tariff experts of 'the roads can prepare tho schedules the Commission expects thtm to be filed here Estimates ot the amount at money the new tariffs will yield the railroads vary from J23.00O,000 to IIOO.OCO.QOO. Those who believe the European war Is affecting the Internal business of the United States make the lower estimate while others who see "a boom In business" In the country make the lower estimate, while 1! there who has been In closj touch with the case said today, lie added that the amount of money this decision would yield the rail roads depended entirely upon the move ment of freight which, he said, because of uncertain international business con ditions, no onq could estimate with a de gree of certainty. CULLOP SAYS BOOM Will. FOLLOW IUJIJNa WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 -Prosperity will follow In the wake ot the Interstate Commerce Commission 5 per cent rate Increase decision, In the opinion of Rep resentative Cullop, a member ot the House interstate Commerce Committee. "I think It will give business all over the country a great stimulus." he said. "The railroads' condition, whether real or Imaginary, has caused them to hold back and this spirit has been reflected In all other business The railroads wti be more prosperous and their activity will be reflected in other lines. I predte that the prosperity increase will be enor mous." Chairman Adamson declined to analyst the decision further than to comment.
