With plenty of dash and drive. all
plays executed smoothly and without
friction, the Dakota Wesleyan grid
ron host went through one of It's best
drills of the season last evening" The
squad apparently is rounding into the
best condition for the opening battle
of the season with the Northern Nor

Saturday.
Members of the squad appear to be
in the pink in a condition excep-
tionally f~Avorably for this time OF
the season. Every man is hard as

lem in vogue this year among the
Methodists. Coaches Herbert Hardy

however, to prevent any symptoms OF
~staleness later IN.

The Hague, Holland.=(By nail to

present attitude of Germany towards
England. France and Russia is de-
scribed in an editorial of the B~erliner
Tageb.att OF September. IA, which
after admitting that the German adj
vance in the West has been checked,
while considerable victories for the
German arms nave been obtained in
the Eastern theatre of war, says:
Europe is to be compared to the

sides the blood is streaming. We hard

THE English and French news
papers haze recently said that the
resolution of the powers of the triple
entente not to make peace withou,
consulting one another. had made a
painful impression in Germany. We
hope that this understanding between
Messrs. Grey, Pofncare and Iswolsky
surprised nobody here. Those who
think calmly knew this before the
first cannon shot was fired. But this
formal assurance was merely made
to show us the futiiity of this wal
and our successes in France.
The indications in the French
Press are that the declaration was
also intended to quiet the French
people. This Anglo-Erench-Russia
