wounded, he said, “poured in clad in rags
and tatters,—brave fragments of brave
men.” One man told him he had lain
helpless in a shell hole for thirty-six
hours, parched with thirst. After almost
superhuman effort he managed to find
his water bottle, only to discover that it
had been pierced by a bullet long before.

Major Watt emphasized the absence of
religious difference at the front. At one
time, he said, he shared his billet with a
Jesuit priest, and the soldiers called
them the “Confederated Societies of
Peter and Andrew”.

Speaking of the sensation of being un-

der shell-fire, Major Watt stated that one |

morning he awoke to find an unexploded
shell lying on the doorstep of his billet.
He described the stillness that reigns in
“Snipers’ Land”, or the front line, as

“more intense than the silence inside of |

a tree.” “That is the place,” he said,
“where to keep your head on, you must
keep it down.”

COLLEGE TO CLOSE AS USUAL
Small Minority Want Shortened Term

The project of closing college early has
been dropped. 248 undergraduates and
38 graduates registered their disapproval
in an investigation conducted by a War
Council Committee, stating that no work
they planned would suffer on account of
finishing the full college year.

The minority of 35 undergraduates and
3 graduates who approved the plan regis-
tered as needing the extra time for war
work.

TREN RNR
LETTER COMPANY RETIRES.
PERSONNEL OF FIRM DISCLOSED



Earnings Will Go to Red Cross
With a cash balance of $6.30, to be
given (as advertised) to the Red Cross
and Allied Relief Committee, the Inter-
World International Letter Company has
gone out of business. The “company” has
functioned for a little over a month, sup-
plying customers with letters from dis-
tinguished men and ghosts, at the rate

of twenty cents apiece. ,
Extensive advertising by means of pos-
ters and sample letters served to elicit
orders from both students and Fac-

Shakespeare, Robert W. Chambers, Dido,
and several local celebrities were re-
quested and punctiliously supplied. The
personnel of the organization, for some
time mysterious, was M. Worch ‘18, J.

liamson '20.
“Tip” Finds “News” Lacking in Abandon

The last production of the Letter Co., a
communication from the Editors of Tip
to the News, follows:

Office of Tip.
To The College News:

In reply to your request for the higher
criticism, we would make the following
comments, however diffidently offered:

Though your publication could not be
expected to have the delicate abandon,
and the joie de vivre of its more polished
contemporary, still it might be hoped that
it would strive to emulate the suavity of
its elder sister. Instead of treating of
such esthetic experiences as the shadow
of the spoon on the cup, and the high
light on the green pea, you descend to
the vulgar trivialities of the War Council.
But perhaps an abortive effort to convey
something of the aroma of the tea-cup
which pervades the Little Publication in
the Yellow Cover exists, grossly ex-
pressed, in your advertisements of Mrs.
Miller’s. Your most striking weakness,
however, lies in your editorials. Refined
criticism can hardly be applied to efforts
which are characterized by such puerile
lucidity. Your readers, unlike ours,
never enjoy the mental stimulus which is
conveyed in the haunting lines:

" Then I am in pain

to think how to unthink that thought
again.”
Sincerely yours,
Editors of Tip.
