LAFAYETTE IS WINNER VS LEHIGH
Rival Colleges Battle to 27 to 7 Score Before Crowd of 15,000 Persons
OLYPHANT MAN STARS
Easton. Pa., Nov. 20.—Displaying a brillant attack of line .and aeri.al plaj'S. the Lafayette College football team th.is afternoon triumphed over its old gridiron rival, Ixhigh, on March Field by the score of 27 to 7. P'iflcen tliousand spectators, hundreds of whom came from Northeastern Penn- s>Ivani.% were on hand lo witness the liiirly-fourth annual football struggle iK'tween the two teams.
The    outstanding    features    of    the game were the end running of "Mike" C/azella, a native of Olyphant. Pa,, and a forw.ard pass of Smith to O'Connell. Cazella played a wonderful game at left | halfback for the winners ail the while j he  was   In   the   line-up  with  a  sixty-1 yard run for a touchdown in the first, naif, being the biggest thing in the day's work,  as  well  .as  furnishing the mosti spectacular iierformance of the entire' contest.
The game was played under Ideal weather conditions with every bit of space on the field being taken. The crowd itself was fioorly handled, thou- Kfinds being unable lo get seals while numerous disputes arose over the du¬ plicate seat check, which was used by Ihe I«-if,a.vette management. The usual number of I.rfifayefte and Lehigh grad- iintr-a was on h;ind for the contest, while students from the two colleges were also out strong. There was plen- t.\ of money wagered on the outcome of the hattie, too, with Lehigh money being plentiful, largely because of the good .showing a week ago when I^ehlgh held the powerful Penn Stale team to a tie score.

United States Protests To England On Exploitation of Turkish Empire
Washington, Nov. 20.—The United States has dispatched a note to England protesting against secret agreements between the Allies for the exploitation of territories of the former Ttukish empire, it was learned tonight. The note is the second of a series between the United States and England since a recent agreement betw^een England and France for exploitation of oil resources of Mesopotamia came to light some time ago. The present note is understood to be addressed to Lord Curzon, Bri¬ tish minister for foreign affairs. The entire correspondence with England probably will be made public early next week.
The first note was sent to England several months ago as an inquiry into the agreement reached at San Remo between England and France on Mesopoteimia oil supplies. * The* State Department is understood to have pointed out in this note that the agreement was in violation of the stand of the United States that all nations must be given equal rights in mandate countries. Elngland holds the mandate over Mesopotamia. The agreement between England and Frzihce provided for an apparent di'vision between the two countries of the oil supplies of Mesopotamia.
The reply of England to the first note of the United States is understood to have said that the agreement did not prevent any other nations from the commercial exploitation of Mesopo¬ tamia, or prejudice their rights, but the pact was merely intended to facilitate gready needed oil supplies to the two countries. The note which' is now being sent by the State Department in answer to the British rejoinder to the first American note is be¬ lieved to contain a broad declaration of policy on the question of mandate territories.
President Objects
It is expected to cover other cases of what the United States regards as exclusive exploitation of mamdate countries by the principal allies. The recent tripartite agreement between Ejigland, France and Italy, creating special spheres of influ¬ ence for these countries in Turkey, may be taken up in the pres¬ ent note. The policy to be set. forth by the United States ¦will be held applicable to all cases of mandate territories, however. The position of the United States on this case ¦was first announced in President Wilson's note to the Allies protesting against the treaty which allowed Turkey to hold Constantinople.
The President stated that the United States expected that American citizens were to be given equal rights in commercial enterprise in Turkish territories and mandates to be created out of Turkey.

N'ow Haven, Conn. Nov. 20.—Horses have raced to victory by a whisker; crews won by a nose; fights are al¬ ways ¦won by a hand and Harvard beat Tale today by two feet.
Tlie educated toes of Captain Arnold Horween of Chicago and yotmg Mr. C. C. Buell of Hartford, Conn., kicked the last feeble growl out of the poor Yale bull dog here this afternoon and gave Harvard a 9 to 0 victory In thelt 391h annual battle.
Toung Mr. Buell, 148 pounds of sophomore flesh and brain, booted a pair ef field goals In the first and fourth quartets and captain Horween completed the -winning pile of points with a drop kick In the third quarter.
Those two feet proved to more than 70,000 spectators, the biggest crowd In American sport history, that Harvard was not superior over Tale by a larger margin of inches.
Tale, figured and doped to lose by from 15 to 30 points, scoraed by the talent which offered odds of 10 to 3 that her battered team would be tur¬ key for the hungry Ci^mson sqnad, ex¬ hibited a game of bitter back to the wall fighting that had the Harvard stands pale ¦with the thought that something inconceivable -was abont to happen.
The first quarter -was a "feeler". Most of the period was played In mid- field within the 35 yard zones. Har¬ vard tried the Tale line and found it a slone wall. Harvard ran the Y.ale onds and found defenders there that were not expected. Harvard tried the forw.ard pass and succeeded fitfully. Yale, when she did get the ball, punted.
Late In the first period when Har- ¦vard had worked the Hall lo the shadow of the Tale goal posts and when the blue hosts had bordere»l ner¬ vous prostration by the game fight of the- CaUanhanites, M-r. BtrelI.Hi'atiswer to a cue from the side line, look the middle of the stage for his few lines.
From the 30 yard line, at a very bad angle over near the side lines he boot¬ ed a pei^ect field goal and gave Har¬ vard a lead that was never relln- guished.
A costly fumble by Kempton killed one wonderful opportunity, while the inacuracy of the Tale backs in shoot¬ ing passes into Red arms killed others just as good,
Yale started "with a rush, but lost another glorious chance when Aldrich misjudged a punt from Murphy and then allowed the ball to roll thirty-five yard.s back to Yale's twenty yard line.
Buel changed his tactics with disas¬ trous effect. On the fourth down the chances for a touchdown were gone and Horween dropped back to Tale's thirty-two yard line and*booted a drop kick that sailed squarely between the goal posts.
Fists Are  Used
Harvard kept fighting and Tale kept fighting. They were battling in the  liberal  sense  of the  word.      The
Murders Family When Girl Jilts
Mount Vernon, Tex. Nov 20—-Sam Lee, 25, prominent Macon, Texas, farmer and veteran of the world war, late loday shot and killed the entire family of three of the girl who refused lo marry him. Lea then   killed   himself.
Lee started to "avenge" his spumed love by calling B. P. Banks- ton, brother of the girl. Miss Ella Bankston, 36, out of a cross roads store. The suitor sat in his buggy and fired two shots. Bankston fell deaxl. Men followed him, heard Iv/o shots a mile ^rom the first shooting and found EHla and her mother lying in pools of blood near the Bankston home Both wero shot through the heart. Lee had r.ed.
Before he reached home^ Lee .stopped at a neighbor. "I don't care to llvo any longer", he told the friend. "Tell dad to sell my cotton and pay my funeral expen¬ ses."
Then Lee drew his revolver and shot himself twice. This did not prove fatal, so the ex-soldier walked into another room, lay on a bed and shot himself again, dying Instantly.
Lee and Miss Blankston quarreled two weeks ago, neighbors declared, ard then young Bank.ston ordered Lee to 'leave the sisler alone."

IF AMERICA ENTERS
¦Washington, Nov. 20. —Complete plans have been framed for use in case of war growing out of present world conditions". General Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the army, said In his annual report made public to¬ night General March mentioned no particular powers In his report, but it is known that the War Department plans Include the most powerful na¬ tions wilh which this nation might open hostilities. All details of troops, supplies, trans porlation and other factors entering Into preparation for war are included In the war plans, March said.
March, however, did not reiveal these details, except In the matter of coast defenses, projects for which have been revised because of the new ideas and methods of war on land and sea, he said.
In line •with his revelations of the preparedne.-^s program being can-led on nuietly by the department. General March described how the War and Navj" Departments are co-operating closely ir: the prephratlons for a possi¬ ble war.
. An • order by the seereterles of -wax anri na^vy during the past year, March aaid crealtd a joint army and na-vT war planning committee of the joint armj- and navy board. This board is described by M.irch as in fact a joint army and navy staff. It consists now of the chief of staff, the director of the operations division and the director of the w.Tr plans division for the army and the director of the naval plaits divisions for the na^vy.
Continuing his reix>rt of the prepa¬ ration of the army proper for war March said an analysis hns been pre¬ pared of the rate at which "our mili¬ tary effort would have to be developed to meet a maximum military strain that might he forced upon us."

WasVilngton, Nov. 20.—Charges that R. W. Boiling, treasurer of the United States Shipping Board, and brother- in-law of President W'jlson, got part of a $40,000 fee paid to Tucker Sands liy the Downey Shipbuilding Company, drew a series of warm answers from board offiffcials here today.
Sands and Alfred McCann brought forth the charge in testimony before the Walsh shii)ping Investigating com¬ mittee In New Tork today.' Boiling, himself, in a statemept lo new.spaper men, said Sands offered him $500 out of $1,000 Sands received after the Do^wney company had succeeded In obtaining certain machinery. Boiling said he refused it.
Boll«ng said he had been threatened that his name would be brought into the Downey deal unless he interceded wilh the President to slop government prosecution of Sands on charges of violating the banking laws.
Admiral Benson, chairman of the shipping board, announced he h.ad in¬ vestigated ^e charges against Boil¬ ing and found them baseles.s. He in¬ cluded in his statement a repbrt of the investigation which stated that oharge.<! had been made in unsigned letters to Tumulty when Boiling refused to help Sands.
.Iohn T. Meehon. chief of the New York office of the Shipping boards bureau of Investigation, in a statement said  he \^'aa   "prepared lo  prove  that
a federal grand jury charged •wttli •vio¬ lation of the banking acts. On advice of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Boiling trrole a letter to Sands telling him that while he regretted he h,ad become Involved with t he government, he could not .ind would not aproach the president on any such proposition."
Thompson, the report said, then ordered Bruce Bealeski, chief of the bureau of investigation, to look Into the case. Boiling al.so told Thompson, the report said, that he had transact¬ ions with Sands aggregating about $.100. all of them prior to the Downey payment to Sands, Bialeski had expert accountants go Into the records and verified this statement by Boiling, the report said. Boiling, who was with Ben¬ son when he gave out his statement, denied any knowledge of the $40,000 matter and re-iterated that Sands had threatcne^l to cause him trouble unless he intervened before the president In Sands' behalf. Boiling said that anony- mou.s letters had been received in 1918 by Tumulty and W. G. McAdoo as well as by himself, threatening trouble fnr Rolling unless Sands "got out of trouble".

Meehan also referred to Sand's al¬ leged effort to have Boiling see the President in his behalf.
Admiral Benson made public the re¬ port of the Investigation which was signed by Frank Burke, manrger of the shipping board bureau of investi¬ gation. The report said tbat BolUnij had asked Huston Thomp.'-on, then as¬ sistant Attorney General, to investi¬ gate the charges after Ihey had boen made to Secretary Tumulty In an un¬ signed letter. Nothing was done at this time, however.
"Shortly   afterwards,   however."   Mr. Benson   said,   "Bollins    sent    another letter   which     re-iterated     the     same charges.

March takea occasion In his report again to fight for universal military training. Referring to the failure of CoTigreas to« provide thia, March says that "it may be stated without qnali- flcation that an adequate reserve of trained soldiers available for use in an emergency in the essential pre¬ requisite to an effective plan for na- tlonaJ defense, and that the creation and maintenance of such resei-ve with¬ out universal training is Impossible."
Secretarj' Baker said tonight, how¬ ever, that he does not Intend to rec¬ ommend a universal training plan to Congress, because of the comprrtien- slve military plan provided for in the reorganized military act passed by the last Congress.

"Yes,"  said  Sands.
