Peace Prospects.
PARIS. May 31.--The view that
prevails in official quarters here is
some time must elapse before Russia
reaches final determination as to
her future course but it is anticipated
that she is likely TO canvass the sit
uation among the friendy powers with
the purpose OF ascertaining the best
possible basis for the conclusion of
war. However, French officials do
not expect such processes to advance
rapidly owing to the leisurely meth
DDS of Russian diplomacy and con-
tiictly internal elements. It is GER
tain that If Foreign Minister Del
casse's advice is solicited 1t will be
exerted in behalf Of re-estabiishnent
of peace but there is no indication
that France will take the initiative
until definitely requested to do so.
Admiral Saved.

miral Durnova, member of the coun-
Gil of empire and Superintendent of

Started Collection.

Members of the athletic asso-
citation at OAC have struck quite
a novel idea, They have under
taken to start sort of gallery for
photographs of various teams
such as football, basket ball, and
track teams. It is the intention
to have photographs of indi-
vidual athletes framed for the
collection, that is, individual ath-
letes who have established new
college record in any event.
The collection once started will
be added t.. from year to year.
Pursuant to this idea, w. G..
Emery was awarded the task
some time ago of mounting and
having framed pictures of the
various teams of OAC during the
past three years. Mr.. Emery
has just completed this work and
the numerous pictures of large
size are elegantly framed in gilt
and present a very fine appear
ance. They are the property o1
the athletic association and until
said association is so fortunate as
to secure suitable quarters of thei,
own, their collection of photos
will be placed in the library al
OAC.

SOON TO CHANGE.
Off With the Blue and on With
the AIl-Drab at OAC.


When it comes to organization,
Lieutenant Quinian is certainly
in the first rank. He possesses
tue happy faculty of getting wlla,
he desires, and which is right
and proper, without any apparent
effort. But he gets it in large
doses, too,
There has been a rumor float
ing around like a gentle zepher
for some time to the effect that
'OAC cadets were soon to change
to an Gall Drab" uniform. 1t
seems to be settled now that the
boys are to have new uniforms
tor their encampment at the
Lewis and Clark Fair. The
lieutenant has not insisted that
any of the cadets change from
their present dress of blue to the
call drab." but they are going to
change, perhaps to a man, just
the same.
Since coming to OAC Lieu
tenant Quinlan has been in live
ly correspondence with various
uniform-manufacturing firms and
has at last selected a San Fran
/ cisco firm with whom to place
this order. This firm is so de-
lighted with the contract they are
receiving that they agreed some
time ago to send a special cutter
and filter to this city to measure
the boys for new uniforms when
ever the authorities should sig
Nifty their readiness for the
same.
Last Friday telegram was
sent for this man to come and
he may be expected now any
day. The new uniforms are to
be of the regulation U. S. army
pattern and the boys will present
a great appearance in them when
they 60 down to the Exposition
This is great in more ways than
one. It is figured that fully $5,-
900 will remain in the state that
heretofore was sent east of the
Mississippi every year for uni
forms.
It is very agreeable to have this
change effected at the present
time, as the uniforms of some oi
the boys were becoming trife
frayed. On the other hand, many
of the cadets possess new uni.
forms. However, it has been the
intention all along for the boys
to change to ''all drab" next fall.
In order that none of the boys
shall suffer by the change Lieu.
tenant Quinlan states that those
who have blue uniforms i'll goeo
condition two months wear will
be allowed them next fall.
To change the subject slightly,
it is fitting here to state that Lieu
tenant Qui~lan has just been in
formed. that the authorities at the
