MAJOR BEITH AND LIEUTENANT
MacQUARRIE ENTERTAINED
BY HISTORY CLUB





Major Ian Hay Beith and Liéutenant
MacQuarrie were the guests of honor at
a History Club reception in Pembroke
East after Major Beith’s lecture Satur-
day night. They dined in Pembroke with
members of the History Club before the
lecture. .

The guests at dinner passed their place
cards to the head of the table to receive
the signatures of the two officers and

during the reception Major Beith was.

beset by owners of his books with re-
quests to autograph them at a dollar a
copy for the benefit of the Students
Friendship Fund. :

P. Turle, ’18, president of the Club,
owns a copy of Lieutenant MacQuarrie’s
How to Live at the Front, with the
author’s autograph and the inscription,
“In memory of the battle of Bryn Mawr.”

PLAN THREE PERFORMANCES OF
VARSITY PLAY IN CLOISTERS

Under. e Committee to Confer
On Classes With the Faculty

A rough estimate placing the probable
proceeds of a Varsity play at $1500, was
given by M. Martin ‘19 in a report of the
Varsity Dramatics Committee before the
Undergraduate Association, Monday. Any
dramatics given would be in the cloisters,
where the cost of production, according
to Miss Martin, would be about $1200 and
the receipts $900 an evening. By having
three performances a balance could be
netted for Bryn Mawr war work.

Plays suggested by the committee were
Shaw’s Czesar and Cleopatra, Josephine
Peabody’s Piper, and Dunsany’s Gods of
the Mountains. Action on the matter was
postponed till definite figures could be
secured on the cost of coaching.

The question of Oral Classes, it was
voted, should be discussed with the Fac-
ulty through the Conference Committee
of the Undergraduate Association. G.
Woodbury, president of the Class of 1919,
told of the conference of the Junior and
Sophomore committees with President
Thomas. Oral classes could not be abol-
ished entirely, she reported, nor could the
college afford to give them free.

An assessment of ten cents a head was
decided upon by the Association to meet
current expenses.

COLLEGE EQUAL SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
DISBANDS, HAVING ACHIEVED END
B. M. Club Represented by M. Martin

A vote to disband followed a recom-
mendation from President Thomas, presi-
dent of the College Women’s Equal Suf-
frage Association, at a meeting of the as-
sociation last Saturday in Washington.
The Bryn Mawr Suffrage Club was repre-
sented by M. Martin ’19, who was also a
delegate (from Massachusetts) to the
National Convention.

President Thomas pointed out that the
College Equal Suffrage Association had
accomplished its mission of making suf-
frage for college women respectable, and
offered to assume its debts, amounting to
a little over $7000. College suffrage clubs
will henceforth be affiliated with the na-
tional organization, either directly or
through their States.

At a college luncheon Saturday after-
noon in the ballroom of the New Ibbet
House, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was the
guest of honor, and President Thomas,

MAJOR BEITH’S OPTIMISM
MORE SERIOUS THAN
LAST YEAR
‘British Hold Nearly Half German
Army Massed on Belgian Front

More soldier than novelist in his ad-
dress on the “Progress of the War,’
Saturday evening in the gymnasium,
Major Beith (Ian Hay) discussed less the
human side of trench warfare than the
strategic aspect of the present situation.
Miltary snapshots, some of which Major
Beith himself took, were shown, The
lecture, under the auspices of the His-
tory Club, netted over $600 for English
war charities.

“If we can merely hold our own for the
next three months and allow the enemy
to waste his troops on the western front,
it will be one of the greatest victories of
the war,” declared Major Beith with quiet
optimism. “The withdrawal of German
troops from Russia for concentration
against the British in Belgium is mani-
festly to the Allies’ advantage, as on the
western front the facilities for their de-
struction are much greater than on the
eastern front. * * * The recent drives
against General Byng have been attended
with enormous German losses which will
increase with the winter snows.

“The capture of a narrow strip of land
along the North Sea would mean access
to Ostend and Zeebrugge, the German
submarine bases. The enemy, realizing
this, has massed his troops here 5,000
men to the mile (as against 300 in Al-
sace), so that the British, on less than a
fourth of the entire line, are holding out
against 48 per cent. of the German army.”

Weather Pro-German

The weather last summer Major Beith
characterized as consistently pro-German.
With a very little luck, the speaker de-
clared, and a little less mud, General Haig
would easily have been in Ostend. Never-
theless, he went on, the spirit of the men
is undaunted, They are back on the his-
toric ground where, in the first battle of
Ypres, cooks, wagon drivers, a ragged
line of odds and ends, flung themselves
down in front of their artillery and
smashed the Prussian Guard. If it had
not been for this small expeditionary
force who went out and sacrificed them-
selves to give the old country behind it
time to wake up, the Germans would
have got to the channel ports on the
North Sea, Major Beith pointed out, As
it is, England has transported four mil-
lion troops over the channel without the
loss of a single life.

Major Beith described the battle of the
Somme as the setting-in of the ebb-tide
of the German invasion, just as the battle
of the Marne represented the high-water
mark. Whether the amateur armies
raised and equipped in less than two
years, were a match for the grim, ma-
chine-made, iron-bound army waiting for
them on the “ridge over there,” which
had been waiting for forty years, was the
question they had to answer, he said. “It
is the same question which, at no very far
away time, your troops will have to an-
swer.” :

Lantern slides of the battlefield showed
the shell holes which will probably pre-
vent it from being ploughed for a genera-
tion. A photograph which Major Beith

CHRISTMAS PARTIES CELEBRATE
ADVENT OF HOLIDAY SEASON



Merion and Pembroke Join Forces

The combination of Merion and Pem-
broke merrymakers last night in a joint
party in the Pembroke dining-room was a
new departure in the celebration of the
annual Christmas parties.

The Merion-Pembroke dance, managed
by Z. Boynton, ’20, included a freshman
stunt and a dance competition, judged by
a committee chosen from the four classes,
1921 also gave a stunt at the Denbigh
party.

In Radnor the festivities reached their
climax at dinher with the bringing in of
the Yule Log and the singing of Yule Log
and Boar’s Head choruses. Speeches en-
livened the dinner, H. Zinsser, '20, being
toast mistress, and G. Steele, ’20, song
mistress.

In Rockefeller M. Nearing, '09, was
toast mistress, and C. Hayman, ’19, L.
Williamson, '20, and L. Ward, ’21, formed
the committee on stunts and speeches.



POSITIONS OPEN IN ELECTRIC
COMPANY TO BE EXPLAINED

Series of Vocational Talks—Plan of
Registration Department

The first of a possible series of voca-
tional lectures will be given by Mr. Her-
bert Eglin, second vice-president of the
Philadelphia Electric Company, who will
speak here in January under the aus-
pices of the Registration Department
of the War Council. His subject will be
positions in the Philadelphia Electric
Company which are open to college
women, graduates and upper classmen,
both trained and untrained.

The positions offered were formerly
held by men now in the government serv-
ice and constitute whole-time work. Sci-
entific training is required for some;
others involve clerical work for which
a general training is sufficient. Positions
for next summer are open.

Mr. Eglin was secured through the
War Council as the result of a letter
written by him to Dr. Barnes, Professor
of Physics, telling of the opportunities
in his company for college women.

In co-operation with Dean Taft, head
of the Appointment Bureau, the Regis-

speakers on the specific positions now
actually open to women.

CHOIR TOURS OUR CAMPUS SINGING
CHRISTMAS CAROLS

The choir, augmented by the addition
of eight new voices, made its customary
tour of the campus last night, singing
Christmas carols. ‘Listen, Lordings,
Unto Me,” was a new song in the usual
repertoire.

Starting at the Deanery, proceeding
through Rockefeller and Pen-y-groes,
along Faculty Row to Low Buildings, and
then through the Halls, the choir arrived
a little aften ten at the Model School,
where its singing could be heard from
the Inn and the Infirmary.

SERVICE CORPS’ UNANIMOUS
DECISION OF MASS MEETING
AND WAR CONNCIL

Alumnz Committee Assures Coopera-

tion With The American Red Cross

A service corps of Bryn Mawr workers
abroad, instead of a reconstruction unit
or a Y. M. C. A. hut, was the unanimous
vérdict of the mass meeting last Monday
evening. $10,000 before June was the
goal set for the college and $20,000 was
unofficially decided for the alumnew. The
same decision was previously reached by
the War Council.

The Service Corps is the object of the

vass for War Relief will be undertaken:
in the second semester. -

Sixty-two B. M. workers, forty-eight of
them in France, are now abroad, reported
M. Reilly ’01, chairman of the Alumnewe
War Work Committee. Coéperation be-
tween Bryn Mawr work and the Red
Cross was assured to this committee in
interviews with Washington officials.



A patriotic farm near the college is al-
most certain, said B. Ehlers ’09, director
of Food Production. No workers will be
taken for less than six weeks.

MONUMENT FOR THE FIRST THREE
AMERICANS KILLED IN FRANCE

A monument to the first three soldiers
of the United States army who have
fallen in France is being erected by the
people of the district where the men lie,
according to a Paris despatch in the New
York Times.

The three men are buried in a little
cemetery in Lorraine territory, not far
from Nancy. A small model of the monu-
ment is to be sent by the prefect of the
communes of Meurthe and Moselle, M.
Mirman, to Ambassador Sharpe and
another to President Wilson.

Sophomore Competition Decided

By a very close vote Margaret Ballou
’20 was elected to the editorial board of
The College News last Monday night, as
‘the winner of the Sophomore competition
begun in November.

The standard by which the writing of
the competitors was judged is the ac-
cepted standard of newspaper English. It
is well characterized by the following ex-
tract from an editorial in the St. Louis
Republic: “The three notes of modern
reporting are clarity, terseness, objectiv-
ity. The news writer of to-day aims to
tell a story that shall be absolutely in-
telligible, even to minds below the aver-
age—since everybody reads; to econo-
mize space to the last degree, and to keep
himself, his prejudices, preferences, opin-
ions, out of the story altogether”.

The editor of the New York Tribune
named the quality which marks the suc-
cessful reporter with the phrase, “Not
the common ability to make a story long
and diffuse, but the rare talent of making
it short, vivid, and complete”.

The Annual Plaint

The water-polo season is with us once
more. Once more the plaintive note of
the winded swimmer crying to her mate
in the adjacent bath house may be heard
—the old, ever-recurring wail!

What is the cause for such grief? Time
has taught that mourning is_ futile.
Never, until water-polo is abolished at
Bryn Mawr, will it cease to be a test of
class spirit.



Little Rachel and Aunt Desdemona

Little Rachel and Aunt Desdemona
were visiting First Year English Litera-
ture. Little Rachel’s glasses were not
shell-rimmed, they were steel-rimmed,
for shell rims are deleterious to vision,
as she had learned at school. She wore
orthopedic shoes and knew the date
when the binomial theorem was first in-
troduced as a study into secondary
schools. Little Rachel was eleven, but
she had passed all her Preliminaries.

“Aunt Desdemona”, she said, “it
would appear that this is the room where
I shall soon be and this the class that I
shall soon attend”.

“I hope so”, said her Aunt briefly. She
was recording an interesting fact, the
price that Thomas Norton had had to pay
for a feather-bed for his mother-in-law.

“And yet I see some of the young
women do not know the date of Brasmus’
first visit to England. This is no doubt
due to the fact that few are really paying
attention. I can even see one young per-
son reading matter foreign to the sub-
stance of the lecture. “Vanity Fair” is
really an excellent novel for light read-
ing, but this is hardly the place for it.
It seems to be in magazine form, too.
How strange”!

“Strange, indeed”, murmured her Aunt,
eagerly taking more notes.

The class was over and the little girl
and her Aunt watched the young women
depart. Little Rachel observed their cos-
tumes with curiosity and interest.

“Aunt Desdemona”, queried the niece,
“why is it that everyone seems to wear
colored stockings? They are rarely be-
coming and often inharmonious with the
skirt”.

“It is plain”, answered her Aunt, “that

tion and enter you for Idaho State College
instead. For here at Bryn Mawr I see
every kind of scarlet, yellow, green, and
black and white striped stockings, but
never a blue stocking’.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The editors do not hold themselves respon-
sible for opinions expressed in this column.
To the Editor of the College News:

In October I put a notice in the Paris
edition of the New York Herald, inviting
Bryn Mawr women, whether they knew
me or not, to come to an informal
luncheon in my studio on Sunday, Octo-
ber 21st.

Alice Miller Chester '14, Alice W. Mil-
ler 09, Bleanor Lansing Dulles 17, Eliza-
beth Reynolds Hapgood ’14, Mary Putnam
‘09, Shirley Putnam ’09, Emily Redmond
Cross ’01, Mary Tongue '13, Ellen Perkins
Kilpatrick '99, Marjory Cheney '03, Mary
F. Hoyt ’99, Dorothy H. Cox ’14, Elizabeth
Baldwin ’14, Gladys Seligman van Heuke-
lom ’05.

These girls turned up. I was surprised
and delighted to see so many. After
luncheon I made a little speech, telling
the girls how I have always wished to
start a Bryn Mawr Club in Paris. I hope
we can plan something so simple in or-
ganization that it will not be a burden
to busy people. Then I called on each
person in turn to stand up and tell who
she was and what she was doing here.
Will you be kind enough to slip this
letter into the News? I shall be glad to
see in my home, at 120 Boulevard du
Montparnasse, any other Bryn Mawr girls
coming to work in Paris.

Sincerely yours,

Helen Davenport Gibbons.
Paris, Nov. 12, 1917.

BAVARIAN DIGGING-SONG FOUND IN
TRENCHES BEFORE VERDUN
One of the few enemy songs of the war
which has reached this country comes,
says the Literary Digest, “by the round-
about way of a dead man’s kit. A ‘Dig-
ging Song’ has been found written in the
diary of a Bavarian corporal named Sank-
tus, and was collected with other letters
and papers in German trenches before
Verdun.” Part of the poem, in rough
translation, gives an idea of the Bavarian
feeling for the Prussians:
“The gallant Bavarians—this is their
fate;
At every one’s pipe to be jigging;
While the lazy-boned Prussian reposes in
state,
The Bavarian’'s delving and digging;
He’s kept at it still—with no chance of
escape;
For there must be commands and there
must be red tape.”

ANOTHER BARRIER FALLS

Women are to sit in the jury box in
New York. ‘“‘Women jurors have become
a necessity, for the draft has diminished
to an alarming degree the men available
for jury duty,” says the Public Ledger,
quoting the New York Commissioner of
Jurors, Jacob Brenner.

Mr. Brenner expressed his opinion that
the State Legislature, at the coming ses-
sion, will give women the right to this
legal duty.

itself in New York for the winter, under
the direction of Jacques Copeau. Many
of its productions are Moliére’s comedies.

“The aim and ambition of the found-
ers,” according to the program, “has been
to create an entirely free and disinter-
ested French stage, devoted to the mas-
terpieces of the past, and at the same
time open to the coming writers. * * * It
keeps in touch with its young soldiers
whose hardships have but stimulated their
moral strength; with its friends, * * *
whose generosity during the three years

needy mobilized members.”

M. Copeau has found many of his ideas
in Switzerland at the school of Jacques-
Dalecroze, where M. de Montelieu, in-
structor of Eurythmies at the Model
School, was trained.

Mme, Yvette Guilbert, the great French
diseuse, will sing there on December 23d

A course in Russian, given by Profes-
sor Franklin Edgerton, Associate Pro-
fessor of Sanskrit of the University of
Pennsylvania, began Monday evening
with a preliminary lecture on the prin-
ciples and structure of the language.

The next lecture will be on January

..The summer home of D. Hall 19, at
Aberdeen, Maryland, burned to the

Thanksgiving vacation there with her
mother, Mrs. Sidney Hall, and her sis-
ter, Migs Anne Hall.

They removed most of the furniture
with the help of neighbors, but were un-

VOCATIONS FOR COLLEGE WOMEN
DISCUSSED AT CONFERENCE



Dean Taft Gives Account of Speeches

The story of the girl who specialized
in Sanskrit and was disappointed to find
no commercial opening for her training,
was cited by Dean Taft in chapel last
week as typical of the reproaches
brought against colleges by those inter-
ested in vocational work for women. At
the recent conference of the Intercol-
legiate Bureau of Occupations in New
York the general feeling, she said, was
that students should be advised all
through college with a view to turning
their courses to some account afterward.

The new lines of work open to women |’
-were presented at the conference by

speakers from several of the leading
professions. Chemists, in all forms of
mechanical industry, were pronounced
greatly in demand. There is also a grow-
ing need for draftswomen and bacteriol-
ogists, it was said.

The speaker for the law stated that
some of the best law firms in New York
are now taking women into their offices.
A person with a wide grasp on affairs
makes a better lawyer than a mere logi-
clan or orator, she said. Women in
newspaper work were admitted not to
have succeeded as well as men, although
there are many opportunities for them
in the magazine world.

Attention was called to the demand for
women in clerical work, with or without
stenography; and to the opening for
them in banks where in the majority of
‘cases no special training is required or
even desired.

WAR WORK OF COLLEGES MAY BE
SYNDICATED—GOVERNMENT
AGREES

A War League of American colleges is
being planned, with the approval of the
Government, aiming to “syndicate the
ideas, ideals, and strength of academic
America for the good of the nation.”

“Five hundred colleges have been asked
to join in the work,” says the New York
Times, “lectures on timely war topics of
both economic and military nature are a
part of the scheme.”

Official recognition of the plan has
come through Mr. George Creel, Chair-
man of the Committee of Public Informa-
tion at Washington; the originator of the
idea is Olin Templin, Dean of the college
at the University of Kansas.

For 1386 volumes borrowed during the
year Bryn Mawr is indebted to the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Johns
Hopkins, Harvard, Princeton, the Phila-
delphia Free Library and others. Thir-
teen volumes were lent.

Gifts of money for books during the
past two years have not been so numerous
as formerly owing to the effort on the part
of the alumnae and those interested in the
college to increase the Endowment Fund,
and to the demands made for war work.
Gifts of books, on the other hand, have
been more numerous than previously.
Most of this material has come un-
solicited.

Special attention has been given to the
completion of sets of publications by so-
cieties or Government. bureaus. An _at-
tempt has also been made to fill in some
of the incomplete periodical files by pur-
chase and exchange. The most important
of those added are Notes and Queries,
1849-1907; Blackwood’s Edinburgh Maga-
zine, 1817-64; De Bow’s Commercial Re-
view, 1846-69; New York Historical So-
clety Collections, 1885-1916; Rivesta di
‘Scienza, 1907-16; Revue des Deux Mondes,
1875-87; Teachers College Record, 1900-
16; Gazette des Beaux Arts, 1859-94, a gift
of President Thomas.

WATER POLO OUTLOOK GOOD

Last Year’s Line-ups Almost Intact

The first water-polo practices, bring-
ing out strong material from all four
classes, promise a hard fight for the
championship. The Seniors have only
one gap in their last year’s line-up, due
to the loss of L. Pearson, (Mrs. Blanch-
ard Pratt), center forward. M. O’Con-
nor, L. T. Smith, and H. Hobbs are try-
ing out fot the vacancy. H. Hobbs is
the most promising candidate.

NEW TALENTS UNEARTHED AT AN-
NUAL MAIDS’ PARTY

A dramatic version of “The Night Be-
fore Christmas,” arranged by E. Hurlock,
‘19, and given by the Rockefeller maids,
was the most striking feature of the
Maids’ Party in the Gymnasium last Fri-
day night. The party was arranged by
the Maids’ Committee of the C. A.

Solos and recitations were given by
maids from Radnor, Merion, and Pem-
broke, and a chorus from Denbigh sang
“The First Néel.” Radnor, 1921, gave a
short play.

Dancing, to the music of the Pembroke
Jazz Band, preceded the entertainment,
and refreshments were served at the end.

the Red Cross in the National Women|
‘Suffrage Association last Friday, Presi-
dent Thomas expressed a protest against |
the action of the Association in voting
-$175,000 for a hospital to be conducted in
France as a private enterprise. Presi-
-dent Thomas attacked the plan on the
ground that the Red Cross prefers that
-all relief work should be handled through
it and does not approve of units under
private auspices.

“We do not like the attitude of the Red
‘Cross toward womien doctors—in fact, we
-do not like its attitude toward women in
general”, was the statement of Mrs.
Charles Tiffany, one of the convention
leaders.

It is not true that the United States
‘Government does not approve of women
doctors, President Thomas asserted in
answer. General Gorgas has promised to
appoint women for army positions as
soon as men are no longer available, she
said. She mentioned the President’s
order allowing women to enlist in the
medical corps and declared the position
of the Red Cross in not allowing women
in army camps “very reasonable’”’.



President Thomas to Speak at Theatre

“What shall we tell our children about
the war’’? is the title of the speech Presi-
dent Thomas is to deliver in the Bryn
Mawr Theatre next Sunday at a meeting
of the Main Line Forum. Dr. Watson, a
Haverford Professor of Economics, is
president of the Forum.

Student Sells Her Hair for Red Cross

To earn money for the benefit of the
Red Cross, D. Rogers ’20 cut off her hair
last Monday afternoon. Miss Rogers ex-
pects to sell her hair to a hairdresser in
the vacation for fifteen or twenty dollars.
Miss Rogers’ hair formerly hung below
her waist; it now extends just to her
shoulders, but is still long enough to do
up.

WOMEN ONLY IN HOSPITAL UNIT



Feminine Personnel to Work Among
Civilians in Devastated Area

Sixty women make up the personnel of
one of the base hospital units now await-
ing immediate orders to sail, says the
Public Ledger. Doctors, nurses, clerks,
ambulance drivers, mechanics, plumbers
and carpenters are all women.

To care for the civil population the
hospital will probably be sent to the
devastated area of France. The unit is
under the direction of the French govern-
ment, for at the time it was formed last
June the United States Government could
not see its way clear to accepting an or-
ganization composed only of women,

GRAVE DEARTH OF ARMY NURSES



Red Cross Reserve of 13,000 Worthless

Our armies at home and abroad are
facing a lack of nurses, according to an
appeal from the Army Nurse Corps, re-
ported in “The Public Ledger.”

The Red Cross has on file the names of
13,000 trained nurses, says the superin-
tendent of the Army Nurse Corps, but for
various reasons a great majority of the
13,000 have not reported as available for
immediate duty. “The need of clearly
presenting the situation to the profes-
sional nurses of the country is therefore
obvious. Any nurse who is qualified for
service, no matter where she may be,
should not hesitate to make her applica-
tion today.”

“Not only has there been less cutting
this year than last, but the cut cards have
been kept much more accurately,” is the
éomment of Virginia Kneeland, ’18, presi.
dent of the Undergraduate Association,
on the statistics for the months of Oc-
tober and November. These statistics
are made out on the same basis as those
of the office, but have not yet been com-
pared with them.

The sophomores, with an average of
4.8 cuts per student, have the worst rec.
ord; and the freshmen, with 1.69 cuts per
student, the best.

Seven students who have taken more
than six cuts will be sent warnings.

Cuts termed “legitimate but unexcused”
are those ‘which the committee considers
justifiable, although taken for other rea-
cons than illness.

In amusing style, but with underlying
pathos, Lieutenant Hector MacQuarrie,
of the Royal Field Artillery, described
last Wednesday the pitiful unprepared-
ness of the first hundred thousand, in his
lecture on “Trench Life,” given in Taylor
to a crowded hall.

“Your boys are lucky to have nine
months’ training with guns and ammuni-
tion; we had nothing and yet we had to
put up a big fight,” he said.

His own case was typical, Lieutenant
MacQuarrie pointed out; he enlisted, a
private in the cavalry; .six weeks later
he obtained a commission—for the ask-
ing, since the need of officers was so
great—and found himself in command of
a battery. “I can train the men, but the
officers give me sleepless nights,” a more
experienced commander exclaimed of
“Kitchener’s Mob.” For months in the
training camp, Lieutenant MacQuarrie
said, his battery had no guns at all;
finally they secured two, the more recent
dating from the Boer War, to be used
one-half hour évery ten days! They had
no uniforms and few horses.

“Morning Hate” Only Ammunition

Full of “Just before the battle, mother,”
feeling, his battery went to the front,
Lieutenant MacQuarrie continued, and
into the battle of Loos. The shortage of
ammunition was frightful, he said. Only
five rounds a day were allowed, and these
were fired early as the “morning hate”,
after this no retaliation was possible
when the German guns swept the infan-
try trenches.

The newsboy’s definition of # friend
represents the union which must be ce-
mented between England and America,
Lieutenant MacQuarrie emphasized,
“Some one wot knows all about yer, but
likes yer.” On the field of battle, he
said, there is no hatred of the Germans,
for “they aren’t worth hating.”

Lieutenant .MacQuarrie has been lec-
turing twice a day for the past five weeks.
His business in this country is primarily
the inspection of munitions.





NEW READER FOR ORAL CLASSES

Miss Agnes R. Riddell, Ph. D., Uni-
versity of Chicago, has been appointed
reader in Spanish and French, and is
P conducting the Junior and Sophomore
French Tutoring Classes which started
last week. The German tutoring classes
are under the direction of Dr. deSarauw.

Owing to the lateness of the classes in
starting, no opportunity will be given stu-
dents to drop out by passing a test be-
fore the final examination. The schedule
this year has been arranged to have no

orning classes before nine o'clock.

ntrary to the notices posted earlier
in e year no one will be obliged to
take \more than one class a week in
either language. The charge is fifty
cents a class and every one with a grade
below A must enter a class. Last year
those receiving B were exempt.

THERE ARE BANDS AND BANDS!

A letter addressed to the “Leader of
the Student Volunteer Band” has been
received by H. Huntting, leader of the
junior orchestra. Even the finding list
leaves room for mistakes!

OF CHRISTHAS SERMON SUNDAY

amen,



sun’s light, comes to us all, but to each
in a different way”, was the substance of
the Christmas sermon last Sunday even-
ing by Dr. Corydon C. Tyler, of the Trin-
ity Presbyterian Church, Chestnut Hill.
Dr. Tyler spoke in place of Bishop An-
derson of Chicago, who was expected to
preach until Saturday morning. He
could not come on account of illness.

We are all headed for the same port
and need the same pilot, went on Dr.
Tyler. The whole significance of the
Christmas message is to open our hearts
to light.

Dr. Tyler concluded his sermon by
quoting from a “well-known American
poet”, Sidney Lanier, grandfather of E.
Lanier ’19. Dr. Tyler is the father of
M. Tyler, who rooms with Miss Lanier.

Three anthems, “Sanctus”, “Sleep, Holy
Babe”, and Barnby’s “Holiest Night”,
were sung by the choir.

PROHIBITION FOR BEES?

Previously well-behaved bees, living in
New Jersey, have been turned into ban-
dits and induced to steal their neighbor’s
honey by having whiskey fed to them,
according to a tale reported in the Lit-
erary Digest. .

“It is claimed that the bees were fed
on ‘doped’ honey in order to make thieves
of them. The drunken bee becomes a
bandit. Befuddled with booze, he refuses
to work and turns to riotous living.” The
story is hotly denied by The Guide to
Nature, which says “the whole thing is
as improbable as it is ridiculous.”

MAJOR BEITH’S OPTIMISM
(Continued from page 1.)

Praises Medical Science

“A man who survives a wound six
hours has nine chances out of ten for
recovery,” said Major Beith. “If he
reaches a base hospital he has ninety-
eight chances out of a hundred. Al-
though the British casualties have never
fallen below 30,000 a month, the num-
ber of men killed is surprisingly low in
comparison with the number employed.
Yet there is a limit to human endurance
and many though unwounded ‘are no
longer useful as fighting units.”

In the’ most optimistic statement of

the evening, Major Beith asserted that
the submarine campaign had degener-
ated from a menace to a nuisance. The
new depth charge, launched by convoys
to explode at the level of the submarine,
offsets the magnetic device used to in-
crease the efficiency of the torpedo. One
of the pictures taken from an aeroplane,
showed a torpedo turning a right angle
in its course to a merchant ship.

“The burden of finishing the war is
coming to rest more and more heavily on
the joint shoulders of the two English-
speaking nations,” he concluded. “We
are going to be tempted soon by a peace
offer. Germany is uncertain how long
the paralysis of Russia will last, and
fears the gathering cloud which she sees
in America. She is waiting only for
some slight gains to offer the Allies
Belgium and perhaps even Alsace-Lor-
raine. We must not forget that how-
ever tempting such a peace may sound
it would not be lasting. Roumania and
Serbia and Armenia would still remain
in the hands of the ‘Mittel-Europ Em-
pire. * * * For the sake of what we
have already spent, not money and mate-
rial power—they are nothing—but for
the best blood of the manhood of our
countries, until victory comes let this
be our watchword: ‘Carry On!’”
