forum Friday.

The thirty-6rst Annual Com
mencement of the Mt. Sterling
High School was held on Friday
evening, June fifth. President

pected to deliver the Baccalaurate
address, was unable to be present
on account of illness, and PROBES
sor E. F. Farquhar, of State Uni
versity, was substituted. Pro-
fessor Farquhar, who has made
an intensive study of the drama,
spoke for over an hour on "The
Complex Problems of Life" and
compared these with, and illus
trated his points by means of the
drama and proved himself to be
an able scholar and deep thinker
and by his logical reasoning and
eloquent presentation of his
theme, secured and held the at
tention of his large audience, in
spite of the fact that many were
compelled to stand in the aisles
in addition to the fact that it was
an excessively warm evening.
The diplomas were presented
by Superintendent w. o. Hop
per to the largest graduating
class in the history of the school.

years, while for the senior year
alone the honor was eqnally di-
vided between Miss Stephens and
Miss Virginia Watts.
In the English Course Miss
Ruth Settlers and Mr.. ]. Court
ney Horton shared equal honors.
Some noteworthy facts in con-
nection with the class are that
Miss Stella Stephens has been
neither absent nor tardy during
her entire High School course,
Miss Emma Bolts has a similar
record and Mr.. ]. Courtney Hor-
ton has not been tardy during the
eleven years he was enrolled in
the Grammer and High Schools.

mencement was held on Thurs
dav evening. Twenty nine
ladies and young gentlemen re-
ceived diplomas which will en-
title them to admission into the
High School. On this occasion
after an interesting program by
the class, Rev. Clyde Darsie
made a strong address in which
he appealed to the graduating
class to continue their education
al career so we'll begun and
urged upon the parents the neces-
sity of cooperating with their
children in securing an education.
The Class Day exercises Friday
morning conducted by the Senior

Miscellaneous Notes.
Bids have just been opened and the
contracts awarded for the gigantic new
armory for Cornell University. The
work was divided between six different
firms, the amount of the contracts total
ing $321.412. When completed the build
ing will be one of the most imposing
structures on the campus. 1t will be of
ed of gray stone taken from local quar-
ries- The building will be nearly ten
times as large as the present drill hall,
being four stories high. 412 feet long
will be the largest college or university
armory in this country.
With the completion of the new drill
hall the two-year compulsory drill
rule will again go into effect at Cor
nell. Under the Morrill, land grant act
of 1862 Cornell was one of the uni
versities to receive state aid, in return
for which all students were to receive
two years of military training. The
growth of the university has been so
great that 1nSumcinet accommodations
rendered two years of drill impossible,
and for a number Of years drill has
been compulsory only for the fresh
man class. With the next years fresh
man class two years of drill will again
be required.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Austria's

complete success OF the amazingly
developed Serb counter-offensive.
But, more significant than this, is
the indication that Austria ts I'M

Servia. Announcement Of u return
to the attack would have been
coupled with the declaration of de-
feat. IL there had been any.

ments would result il a new Hun

for use at Warsaw. but would be
under instructions for a Carpartian
offensive: similarly, re-enforcements
supposed at Petrograd to be moving
on Cracow would have Hungary as
their real objective. Petrograd has
consistently shown itself to be
badly informed concerning develop
ments of the campaign, and the
actual reason for a new movement
OF troops in the Galician area might
well be misinterpreted by Petrograd
correspondents. although the bare
fact OF Encouragement of forces

this was what has occurred in the
