Under Martial Law

The prospect of a_ $50 emergency
charge for each student brings forcibly to
mind the need for stringent economy if
the college is to go on next year. We
suggest that students with special train-
ing gained in preparedness courses this
spring give their spare time to helping
in the upkeep of the college. Those who
have had first aid and home care of the
sick might volunteer in two-hour shifts
as infirmary assistants to reduce. the
number of nurses. Members of the busi-
ness classes could be of use in the Li-
brary or Taylor. That the mechanics’
reserve be called out to man the power
house or to drive trucks to and from the
Yet_as
chauffeurs for the gasoline lawnmower

station_is perhaps more doubtful,

even skilled Italian labor would have to
give way!

The crisis demands a system which will
utilize all available ability and insure the
putting fffeeugh of routine work on sched-
ule time. It would be possible to accom-
plish this by means of a military régime.

Kvery student reporting for three hours
a week of fatigue duty (which might in-
clude housework as well as grounds and
office-work) would mean a total of 1200
hours a week; or, reckoning the labor,
skilled and unskilled, at an- average of

_ twenty-five cents an hour, a saving of

$300 per week to the college.

War is striking home to the college this
week in the ending of Dr. Grey’s current
events class. The Officers’ Training Camp
rudely puts a stop to what has become
one of the most popular institutions of
the year. Dr. Grey has done much to
keep the college in contact with outside
affairs in a winter when events have
crowded so fast that without his clear
explanations one almost gives up trying
to cope with them. The hundred or more
students who have attended the class
weekly will miss it on Monday evenings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(The editors do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)
Help Devastated France

To the Editor of the “College. News”:

In response to an urgent appeal to
Bryn Mawr for clothing of all kinds for
the people in Noyon and other French
towns recently evacuated by the Ger-

mans, the Junk Committee is organizing a

special “French Bundle Week” from May
10-17.

May we appeal through your columns
to every reader of the “News” to give
some old clothes. We need 2000 articles.
As this amount cannot be gathered by
the junk collectors alone we are asking
everyone to collect their own junk and
take it to the nearest receiving station.
The bundles will be taken every day to

the gymnasium and boxes packed as soon |

as possible.

Chairman of the C. A Junk Com

ROMANCE OF THE: FUTURE
_ A CRYSTAL AGE”

Leena ies cages —_—-



| A Naw Book and an Old One in the New

Book Room

“It belongs to the rare type of fiction
which has given us Gulliver and Ere-
whon”, says the foreword to “A Crystal

ge”, by W. H. Hudson. Written thirty
years ago by an author only recently ap-
preciated, it now takes rank in the New
Book Room as a new book along side of
the freshly published “Renascence of
France”, by Charles Sarolea, which cele-
brates the'rebirth of the Gallic’ spirit to
meet the crisis of the Great War.

Galsworthy has said that “as a stylist
Iiudson has few if any living equals” and
“\ Crystal Age” in Mr. Hudson’s rhyth-
mic prose tells the story of a second Rip
Van Winkle who wakes to find himself in
a Utopian world where he is sadly out
of place.

The coming of France’s new life is
traced in Mr. Sarolea’s book through a
series of historical sketches of great
French men and women from Montaigne
and Madame de Maintenon to Bergson
and Poincaré. “The New France” is the
last chapter and the last words are “The
French Ideals are themselves universal
because they appeal to the whole of civ-
ilized humanity, because they partake of
he eternal verities”.

JUMP DOWN ON COLLEGE SIDE
ADVICE TO THOSE “ON FENCE”

Schenck addressed them in Taylor for a



few minutes on the subject of coming to

| fence” was to jump down on the college
|side. It doesn’t look as if this war would
|last more than two or three years, she
‘told them: so that it seems the young
women's duty not so much to rush into
special work as to keep up the college
standard now that all the men are needed
to fight. The girls were brought out by
Beatrice Miller "13 and Ellen Pottberg ‘11.

Girls Needed a2 Workers in Franc

The $400 made by’ Miss Hollingsworth
of the American Girls’ Aid Society at the.
sale at the College Inn last Thursday will
be used to buy 400 pairs of shoes out of
a lot of 700 offered at $1 a pair by Wana-
maker’s.

The American Girls’ Aid Society, whose
expenses are paid by Mr. Rockefeller,
runs workshops in Paris for refugees and
crippled soldiers, to whom they. pay
wages. The things made are brought to
America and sold at a 20 per cent profit,
which is used to support 2700 French or-
phans. Every week supplies for them
cross the Atlantic, and to date not one
package has been lost.

When Miss Hollingsworth returns to
France in June she is anxious to take
with her some girls for office and distrib-
uting work. Their fare over will cost
about $73 and their expenses will average
10 francs a day.



H, CHASE HAS THRILLING TRIP



Shark or Submarine?



A one-word cable “Hullo”! was received
from H. Chase ’16 on landing at Bordeaux
after a thrilling voyage on the Rocham-
beau. Twelve shots were fired at a dark
shape which appeared on the horizon,
but it was discovered to be a shark, not
a submarine.

Miss Chase is accompanying Mme.
Grouitch, wife of the Serbian diplomat,
who has been raising money in this coun-
try for the relief of the Serbians, to do
work among war prisoners in Switzer-
land or in the hospitals of France,

DEAN SCHENCK ADVISES
CHARACTER PARTS
FOR AMATEURS





Praises Junior Choice of Play

“Amateur actors do best in character
parts”, said Dean Schenck speaking in
chapel on Friday on the Junior play.
“Peau Brummel” was a peculiarly happy
choice, she said, since its chief part was
a character part.

M.. Gardiner’s interpretation of Morti-
mer with its real pathos in the last act
Deai Schenek praised next to V. Knee-
lund’s controlled acting of Beau. That
she was not moved to tears in the last
scene was Miss Schenck’s only criticism
of the play.
