VILLA HAY INTERFERE
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Only General
Carranza and General Villa stood today as
possible obstacles to fruition of tho Atlantic
City peace conference agroement for wlth-
L drawal of General Pershlns'B forces from
Mexico In tho next forty days.
Tl:o United States Government Itself is
prepared to ratify the protocol; Inasmuch
as It linn shaped upon terms President
Wilson himself npproed.
What General Carranza will do 1i a prob
lem, though tho Administration is con
vinced that ho will stsn It, even though It
may bo distasteful bocauso of inclusion of
provisions that tho United States troops
may follow a hot trail Into Mexico at any
time.
Tho other obstacle Villa probably will
be eliminated by tho Chihuahua battle,
military men say. But they do not over
look the disastrous situation that would
follow a Villa' victory at this strategic
point.
Villa Is an element In the situation from
the fact that the withdrawal la, conditional
upon conditions remaining satisfactory dur
ing tho next forty days.
IN FUNSTON'S HANDS
If Carranza signs tha agreement, as
hoped, arrangement for wlthdrawlnc Gen
eral Pershing's forces will be lefOln Gen
eral Funston'a hands,
Pershing has between 13,000 and 15,000
men at Colonla Dublin, about one hundred
miles below tho border. These men prob
ably will be assigned to border sorvlce,
while three times that number of Guards
men and perhaps many moro will bo re
leased from patrol service.
A Villa victory now would upset with
drawal plans' and create intolerable northern
Mexican conditions, experts eay, Yet, 'the
single hope of vlctoryfor him, as they see It,
Is that an Internal revolution In Chihuahua
City might Blvo him an advantage which
Uls natural sitohkiii uubs hoi unoru.
Carranza himself will probably acquiesce,
It Is thought here, In the light of what his
representatives havo been told, During the
last week the American members of the com
mission have been bluntly frank In inform
ing tha Mexican group of what consequences
It may expect If It does not meet American
terms.
LAN? TO MAKB OFKDIf
Chairman Jjine, bad: In town, was slated
to present the protocol early, though the
President's Illness seemed likely to pre
clude a conference today.
Tho protocol In brief provides for with
drawal of American troops in forty days
( northern Mexican conditions are unal
tered; for American pursuit of bonJits f
occasion arises; for separate patroTOf tho
border by eacn nation, un co-operation If
possible, to be arrange1 between the re

A fine old man, reminding one partly of
a benign Banta Ctaus and partly nf a
sagacloui patriarch, arrived In Uroail Street

Ho l" Sir rtnblndrnmith Tngore. ItenRnll
poet, nbout whoeo visit to America o cry
body Is talking, whoso poems nearly every
ono has rend nnd whoAs talk at the Ogontx
School tonight nil thoso fortunate enough
to hnvo been Invited are engcrly awaiting.
The genius of Sir nnblndrnnath startled
the world. Ono year ho wan entirely tin
known to the Occident ; tho next ho had been
discovered, his poemi translated and ho
himself awarded tho Nobel prize for litera
ture. In his long flowing Orlentat robes he
made a striking nppenranco today as ho
walked down tho tralnshed, and, contrasted
with the men who surrounded him In their
conventional costume, he mado n rare pic
ture. Peaco H the subject dearest to his heart,
and ho misses no opportunity to arraign
westorn civilisation, which li responsible, in
hli opinion, for the world war.
"God," said Tngore, "mado man to bo
human, but under tho hard-cut finish of the
manufacturo now known ns man It Is illlll
cult to discern the spirit Our psychology
la now that of fighting elements, not of
co-operation. It Is that which mnkci tho
struggle botwecn man nnd woman. In
tho unceasing war for BUccesstho thread
that bound man to woman is broken.
"Ands look at the anarchists. Seeing the
power "mado In the political laboratory,
seeing fortunes out of all proportion nnd
greed which has no limit, seeing that suc
cess Is tho ono end of tho machine of your
westorn nationalism, seolng tho contests
that rise out of tho bloody mucl: of Interna
tional diplomacy. Is It any wonder that
their strikes and protests nil your papcra7"
Tagoro said that he had recently como
from Japan, whore ho tried to warn tho
people against western-nationalism, but was
rowarded by having tho papers say that his
speeches were "poetlo with the poetry of
a defeated people "
"You now seo Japan mado over In your
image," ho said, "but you do not exclaim,
It Is good I' No. you seo In this new Japan
one moro reason for preparedness. Ah, you
of tho west, you think you are freo, but
you are bending your backs under the bur
don of nationalism. Your nations, with tho
endless bull fights of politics, with the
blasphemous prayers In churches, nro mere
machines. Or rather they are llko huge
giraffes, with greedy heads, having exag
gerated dental development, cropping tho
tops of the foliage, but with bad digestion
and hearts empty of blood.
"And this great war In Hurope Is tho
fifth act of the unreal. I hope that the
tyranny of the nations may never bo re
stored. In this war tho west Is face to face
with her new creations "
Tagoro Is typically the man of medita
tion. In ills conversation ho seems for the
most part almost unconscloui of his listen
er, and appears to bo rather reducing his
Ideas to tho clearest posilblo Kngllsh for
his own benefit. And when the audience
Is ended, and with gracious courtesy ho has
taken leave of his visitor, he seems to sink,
almost Instantly, quietly back Into tha re
cesses of his own profound meditations

MEANS NATION'S DEFENSE
WASHINGTON. Nov.- 25. Alfred I.
Thorn, counsel for the railway executives,
today pointed to lessons learned from rigid

erents as proof that "transportation lies
at tho base" of an efficient system of na
tional defense.
Thorn mado tha declaration before the
Joint Coneresslonal Committee Investigating
publlo utilities. His chief plea was for
greater centralization of regulation of rail
roads. Ho reiterated his declaration that
much of the power held by Stato commis
sions should be given to a centralized Federal
body, but Insisted ha did not believe State
commissions should be abolished, slnco thcy
must be depended upon to protect State In
terests, Ho suggested the following "chief
features" which tha railroads believe should
bo Incorporated Into any system of regula
tion adopted by tha Government;
Tha entire power and duty of regula
tion should be In the hands ot the na
ftlonal Government except us to mat
ters esesnttally local and incidental.
As one of tho means of accomplish
ing this a system gf Federal Incorpora
tion should be adopted. Into which
should be brought 'all railroad cor
porations engaged In Interstate or for
eign commerce.
Reorganization of Hie Interstate
Commerce Commission and creation of
a new Federal railroad commission and
regional commissions subordinated
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion should be given power to pre
scribe minimum rates.
Tho poaer of tho commission to sus- ,
pend rate should be confined to sixty
days from the time the tariff Is tiled in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.
How,to Increase and, If possible, mora
equitably distribute the nation's food sup
ply nnd thereby combat rising prices, was
subjected to Got eminent Btudy today when
the Commerce Department, under personal
supervision of Secretary lledfleld, began
preliminary work on this question that
affects every Inhabitant of the country
It Is the belief of Administration officials
that the chief reason for high prices now
Ilea in the fact that food production dur
ing tho last year was below normal, while
exportatlons have greatly Increased,
It is held by Administration officials and
others very close to the Tresldent that the
food problem Is one demanding closest and
most careful study, not only from local
angles, but also "from the viewpoint of the
entire world, and that It cannot, under such
conditions, be handled as a purely domestic
Issue,
In this connection officials said much an
noyance has been caused by "irresponsible
exploitation" of the so-called "AdminUtra.
tlon views" on the food situation In this
country, Reports that the President has
silently approved proposals for a foodstuffs
embargo were denounced as "fabrications
without foundation."
It was also explained tha there la no in.
tendon of establishing a Government regu
lation of food distribution "even in any way
remotely approaching" the food dictator
ship systems now instituted In almost all
belligerent nations abroad.

This Is tho blgccBt football day America
has seen for many year. Six contests are
scheduled, each of which is of major Im

thn crowds could bo accommodated, at least

of seating facilities will keep the total at

Yalo will meet Harvard in tha Bowl, and
this, perhaps, is tho most Important battle
of tho day. Tickets havo been sold to
77,000 persons, making It tho largest crowd
that over witnessed a gnmo In tho United

will draw 10,000 at Bnnton. pad the Haver-ford-Swarthmoro
