PRESIDENT

= -
Tho class of 1916 of Dakota Wes-
leyan was entertained last Tuesday
evening at the home of DR.. INT Mrs.
w. G.. Seaman. In accord with the
present trouble with Mexico, and
possibly not without a slight reflec-
ton upon the disappearance last win
ter of the freshman banner, the par
Tors were decorated with flags.
The forms of entertainment were
unique and very popular. The sopho-
mores were divided in, W divisions,
one to represent the sUnited States
and the other Mexico; The games
played were of the nature of contests
between the two factions.
Refreshments consisting OF punch,
ice cream and cake served dur
hing tho evening. and the class consid-
cred that they were enjoying Il of
the most pleasant occasions of the
year. The closing events of the yer

British invention over a century old It's inventor was General shrapneI an English officer, who was born in s1T61, and given a commission in the royal artillery in 1779 The thought came to him during the war in Elan iders where he was impressed by the tri1ing effect Of round shot against troops and the limited range of grape His shell, filled with balls and powder, and ignited by a. time fuse. was adopt ed by the British army in 1902, and played an important part in the Pen insilar war under Wellington and all so at WaterIoo. The secret of it's action was unknown outside Of Britain until 1894
 With the customary ingra4itude of governments, General Shrapnel was never reimbursed for the expense of his experiments. All he ever received was $1. 200 pounds a year ($6,000) and the offer. of baronetcy which he could not afford to accept. He died in 1S42, bitter old man.
 Dr. Louis Seaman, the American expert who visited the hospital of the allies at the front, says that the Ger man shells brea into large pieces and do little damage compared with those used by the Japanese against Russia which were torn into showers of steel splinters.

lzafPAIGN BEGINS
 TO BOOST PENSIONS
 IN BRITISH EMPIRE

London. Oct So.-A campaign to sxaAse BrfEssh pensions and separation allowances has been started by G. n Barnes M P, who proposes g zszzr1n1uxn Of one pound sterling a week for the widow Of every soldier and sat1or killed at the front, for the mother dependent on any soldier now in the fighting line and also for every soldier and sailor permanently E41aaa1ned by fighting.
 Such an increase sounds small in compartson with American pension Mtres but would mean afour-fo1d raise for the English in most instances. From $1.25 a week the widows pen sion would be raised tes $s. Mothers dependent for support on men who die in active service are now unpro- v4ded for. The wives of men at the front at present get only $1.S5 week while the minimum weekly pension al lowed to disabled soldiers is 35 cents A4r Barnes also proposes to double the present allowance Of 28 cents a week for each dependent child
 1t is pointed out that tho nation has to support these dependents in any case, and to throw the main bur de non private charity does not re 1ieve the country of the cost. An adequate separation allowance and pension would also relieve the men vvf1o are offering their lives for their country from the stigma. of being os- 5ects Of charity.
 But as the proposed increase is likely to take tke form Of a sl1per-tax on incomes. it is not popular with the wealthy classes.

 No one here doubts that the Ger mans will shortly renew tE1eirS efforts to take channel ports, but there is ev- cry confidence that the allies, as here tofore, will check them in the objec- tive. T
 Winter has made it's presence felt all along the battle line The last few nights have been very cold and in the Vosges a heavy snow has fallen, halt ing the German operations there.
 Many rumors are circulating in Pa ris due in large measure to the lack Of news from the front. For exam pie, it was persistent1y reported that Ostend had been re-occupied by the allies.

 English newspapers take an equally pniIosophic view of Turkeys action and express the belief that, while the military situation will not be greatly changed. Turkey in Europe is doomed to extinction. Unless Bulgaria joins bIle enemies of Turkey, an invasion by land of European Turkey is inn practicable according to British ob- servers.
