TWO DEBATES PLANNED,

Washington and Lee and
George Washington Uni
verSitieS to Meet.

The debates have been arranged be-
tween the teams OF the George Washing
ton University and Washington and Lee
University. both to take place the night
OF April 20. One will be held at Wash
lngton and Lee University and the other
Will e@held at Washington. The income
tax will be the subject OF debate at both
places.
The George Washington University has
selected for the team which debates here
w. Z. Galley, Harvey c. Bickel and

which will be sent to Washington and Lee
is made up Of Warren e. Libby, Peter r.
Feldman and Burr s. Stottle. They will

Messrs. Cohn and Stottle are graduates Of
the local high schools.
Past Successes.
Interest in debating was at its highest
point in George Washington University
from 1901 to 1908. and during that time
the George Washington teams defeated
representatives of Syracuse. Pennsylvania
and the University of Virginia. One of
the most memorable debates between the
versities was held in 1902 the judges
of the discussion being Chief Justice
White and Senators Cullom and Hawley.
The two leading debating societies of
the George Washington University are
the Columbian, formed about twenty
years ago, and the Needham, which was
organized about eight years ago. Numer-
Gus interSociety debates are held between
these organizations, and the keen rivalry
between them has led to the development
of some excellent debaters.
The George Washington University has
a chapter of Delta Sigma Rho which is an
honor society, made up of men who have
participated in Intercollegiate contests of
debate or oratory. This society permits
chapters only in institutions which excel
in this line Of work.
George Washington Teams.
The teams for the coming debates are
being coached by Blaine F. Moore of the
department of political science. The men
on the two teams are, for the most part,
experienced debaters. Mr.. Bickel has
taken an active interest in debating for
he was in the high school at Wernersvllle,
Pa, and continuing in the debating CLUB
which was organized at the local Y. M. e.
A. about six years ago.
Mr. Cohn is graduate of Western High
School of the class of 1911 He was on
the debating teams of that school in his
junior and senior years, meeting the
Schools He is at present freshman in
the College of Political Sciences and
member Of the Columbian Debating So
ciety.

Germany's Losses Put
at ~l,75O,OOO to Date

London. - Hilaire Belloc whose
weekly war articles in Land and Wa.
ter have attracted wide attention, and
who Is considered among the best OF
the experts, estimates the German
losses up to the present at 1,750,000.
IL know" he writes, that this fig
ure looks startlingly large, but the
various steps by which II is arrived
at are not, ] think. open to criticism.
II would be easy by a little manipula.
ton Of men and figures to make out
a very much larger total. I have at.
tempted. on the contrary, to fix the
lowest conceivable minimum"
The figure of 1.750,0OO includes
losses by sickness, illness, fatigue and
accidents. The strict German losses
in the feld-men hit or caught-Mr.
Belloc puts at more than 100000.
These losses Mr.. Belloc declares,
have almost up to within the last
two weeks or so fallen in the main
upon the trained troops of the enemy.
and with particular severity upon his
body of officers.

ABANDON WAR MATERIAL.

Paris.-The fury of the allied troops
attacks has forced the Germans to
withdraw entirely from their position
on the left bank of the User, abandon
ing much war material and a number
OF their big guns which were stuck
in the mud.
The ~inundation of the field in which
the Germans have been compelled To
operate has made their position lea
the coast u~ntenable, and the failure
OF the attacks made in this Flemish
bog apparently has convinced the Ger
man general staff that continuation OF
the offensive in this direction would
be suicidal.
Az heavy artillery duel ragged all
along the front from the Flanders re.
gion around the great arc to the For
est of Apremont, east Of the Argonnes.
The allied positions to the west OF
Lens and between the rivers Somme
and L'Ancre were the targets of a
particularly heavy cannonading by the
herman guns, but the activity Of the
big guns was without result for either
side.
