Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1914-12-31

Last Friday evening in the college
chapel the girls of the Alpha Theta
Literary society presented very de-
lightful Japanese light opera called,
1.-THE Feast of the Little Lanterns"
before an audience of students and
townspeople which nearly filled the
auditorium.
The play was the best which has
been given this year and one of the
best in years. The decorations which
fairly breathed of the Land of the
Rising Sun were most lastly made
and furnished a most effective back
ground for the production of the mu-
steal. The theme of the play was very
simple though the principal parts were
unusually well taken care of. Miss
Pauline Markham as a juggler showed
a dramatic art superior to ordinary
amateur dramatic skill, while she sang
excellently. Miss Lorna Woodruff as
the princess sang several contralto
solos in pleasing manner.
Miss Eva Barnes work at the piano
was very much appreciated as we'll as
Mr.. Rudolph Beyers' work at the
traps.
During the intermission between the
first and second acts President Blais-
dell presented the honorary sweaters
to the members of the senior class who
have won the right to wear them by
their work in athletics. Two years
work on any one of the varsity teams
is the principal requisite for the pos
session of one of these sweaters. The
following men received them: Alger
Wood, Paul Austin, Clarence Good
rich, Harry Jackson, Milton Jackson,
Addison Wilson, Maurice Cole, Ar
den Johnson, Arthur Simenton, Ralph
Peacock and Sidney Cook.
1t is quite coincidence that the
eleven seniors who won these sweat
ers six of them are distinctly Alma
boys, having graduated from Alma
High school or having made Alma
their residence. 1t certainly speaks
we'll for the college to have so many
Alma high school graduates members
of the College student body and lead
ers in the college athletics. During
the past fourteen years, of all the cap
tains who have led the varsity football
teams nine of them have been Alma
high graduates. The last three in a
row, Alger Wood, Paul Austin and
Mark Spinney have received that hon

GERMAN SOLDIER
TELLS OF BATTLE
Few OF His Comrades Returned After
Night Attack on the
Liege Fort.

LONDON. Aug. IA Brussels
newspaper, lie Petit Bleu. copies of
which have just reached London. con-
tains the following story by one OF
500 Germans who joined in the night
assault on Liege last week:
1--WE were ordered to slip into Liege
through one Of the gaps between the
forts We thought we were followed
by other troops.
The garrison of the city received
us with a terrific fire. My comrades
fell down before this hail Of bullets
and soon il was a complete rout. We
escaped through the Liege streets in
all directions, creeping beside walls
and crawling along the ground in or
der not TO be seen.
But the searchlights of the forts
swept the city continually and every
where there seemed TO be soldiers fir
ing at US.
"Once l found myself alone, run
ming always, trying 10 escape from the
long shafts of white light which SEEM
ed TO penetrate the very walls of the
city and which kept finding me out.
A hurricane of lead would sweep
around me and then with a wild leap
l would gain the darkness again,
seeking of any kind of cover to get
away. How / regained the lines
don't know, but | don't believe more
than score OF US got out OF the city
alive"

Special Correspondence.
pledged League OF Fifteen has an
auxiliary-"La Stella.
Women, too, are going to the front
to sacrifice their lives for their cOun-
try.
They are not nurses-nurses are
plentiful.
They are fighting women And at
the front with the fighting men they
will take their places prepared to die
by violence in mortal conflict with
the common enemy
Twelve women aViatrices of France
are determined to emulate Roland
Garros, the intrepid aviator who
wrecked q German dirigible and died
with its crew Of % after the collision
in the air.
France, the enthusiastic nation, has
accepted the offer of these intrepid
women and they will go to the front,
TO be used in emergency for scouting
in the air and for the destruction Of
German balloons.
They are experts licensed by the gov
eminent.
They will not be content to watch
and wait. They want action and like
the League of Fifteen they are
pledged to martyr themselves for the
cause of France.
Helen Dutrieu and Baroness de la
Roche are at the head of the band.
Miles. Steir. Lily Leeming and Valen-
tine DUcing are also among the aux
| Hilary flying corps personnel.
Under the French law they are
members of the aero corps Of the
French army and have sworn TO sac
rifice their liveS-just as the mascu-
line aviators have-in defense Of their
country.
1--WE shall not be content to remain
back OF the army; our place is ahead
of it," declares Helen Dutrien, one of
the most capable of the band Of dar-
ing women.
Roland Garros was the first to die
| of the League of Fifteen, the best avi-
ators of France, and that means
among the best in the world.
What will happen when the fifteen
die?" asked the women.
And then they answered the ques-
ton by organizing and offering their
! services to the government, in q blaze
of patriotic enthusiasm.
All of them are wealthy. Nothing
compels them to sacrifice their lives
but love Of country.
Killing women in the air is some
thing new.
Who of this group will be the first
to die?
