W. HEN the Yale men rush On the football
Nj field shouting their yell" it is the

European University had It's corps Of fighting
men. Just as the German universities now
have their societies and Student en- Corps
and they rushed to battle as their ancestors
went into battle, shouting their war cry both
TO frighten the enemy and encourage their
own body.
The Oldest battle cry known is that one
mentioned in the Book Of Judges in the
Bible, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon"
used by the Israelites when they rushed down
upon the Midianites at night, smashing earth
en- jars and waving torches.
The French had their -Cri de guerre," the
Scotch their slogans. and the English had war
cries in very early days. Percy, a PERCY"
was the raIlying cry at Otterbourne; and the
cry of "a Warwick. Warwick" decided the
fate of Banbury Field.
So many cries were invented by the differ
ent great British lords that in 1895 Parlia-
ment passed a special law forbidding these
cries, on the ground that they produced dis
order, allowing but one battle cry: st George
and the King"
The cries "Crom-a-boo" and "Butlera-boo"
were specifically prohibited. sAbo" was an

At the siege CT JafTa, in Palestine. the cry
of Richard / was "Guyenne au Roi d'Angle-

It is held that the British National Anthem

And long to reign over US"
The Puritans went back to the Old Tesla

David: ITO your tents, o Israel" Cromwell's
watchword was The Lord of Hosts!"
The war cry "Alban! Alban!" was used at

The use Of creams on the face some
times causes hair TO grow. You can
avoid the risk Of acquiring superfluOUs
hair by avoiding cosmetics and using
mercolized wax instead. There is moth
