SPACE rs TOO SMALL

On account of insufficient open
ground, Captain Ralph Mccoy of the
univers ty cadet corps has announced
that there will be no sham battle by
the cadets this year. Where the space
available is small, the war depart

range of the guns, really takes place
on large eXpanse of territory Cap
