before the signing ef the armistice. On
Noveraber 10th, he said, he was at Ver-
see lowered over the huge war map in
front of the offices of Le Matin a white
placard bearing the words:
L’Armistice a été Signé!
La Guerre est Gagnée!
Vive la France!
Vivent les Allies!
And that night, two hours after leaving
the jubilations of Paris he alighted from
an aeroplane in London, in time for the
celebration there. Since then, he added,
he has had the experience of crossing
the Atlantic on the Mauretania, with the
first 5000 American soldiers to return
from the Western Front.
When asked if he remembered Bryn
Mawr, Major Beith replied with gusto,
“Bryn Mawr? Why that’s the best audi-
ence in America!”
DR. JOHNSTON WILL SPEAK SUNDAY
Dr. Robert Johnston of Philadelphia,
father of K. Johnston ’21, will preach the
sermon next Sunday evening. Dr. John-
ston, who has spoken at a Christian Asso-
ciation conference and led Bible classes
here, has consented to speak this week,
instead of later in the year as planned, in
place of Dr. Robert Davis of Englewood,
New Jersey, who was unable to come.
NORMAL CLASS TO BE GIVEN BY
MISS APPLEBEE
A normal class for the purpose of
teaching the theory of instructing folk
dancing, apparatus and games will be
given by Miss Applebee every Wednesday
afternoon at 4.15. This class of half an
hour will count as a period of exercise.
Students who take the course will be
asked to teach a class of one hour a week
at the Community Center for practical ex-
perience.
ICE SKATING IN 19237
To all enthusiasts of ice skating a con-
vincing argument has been found for the
perpetuation of College Drill. According
te the New York Times, after years of
futile attempts, the athletic field of Co-
lumbia University will now be success-
fully flooded. The constant use of the
field by the S. A. T. C. has packed down
the porous ground to such an extent that
at last it will hold water.
