Washinston's Birthday CeIebra-

For number of years it was the an
nual custom of the faculty and students
of Middle bury college to meet together
February 22nd and celebrate the day of
Washingtons' birth with an appropriate
program. Recently the custom has fallen
into disuse. This year arrangements are
in progress by the student life com
mittee and President Thomas for a fit
ting celebration of the day at the Nc
Cullough gymnasium. The program will
be somewhat as follows: Informal recep-
ton, singing patriotic songs, address,
National Ideals, by the Rev. Edward
| M. Noyes of Newton, Mass singing by
audience, America, music by the COL
lege orchestra, and refreshments and a
social hour. The principal event of the
evening will be the address by the Rev.
NJ. Noyes, who is well known as a
speaker of force. Members of the fac
ulty and wives and the students of the
college are invited to participate in the
exercises of the evening. This is real
get-together evening for the friends of
Middlebury and its success depends
largely upon the cooperation of every
one interested.

Ben Greet Players.

To see the Ben Greet players Satur-
day night in their famous production of
LAS You Like 1t" is an opportunity
such as is not often given to a Middle
bury audience. No one should be
frightened away because the play was
written by Shakespeare. Its plot is a
love story which is as fascinating now as
it was when Shakespeare wrote it and
almost as romantic as your own. If you
do not believe this, come and find out
that speak the truth.
1t is the kind of play which Mr. Greet
and his company take the greatest
pleasure in giving. They are artists,
who know their business well enough to
satisfy the most critical. You may eX-
pect to see Shakespeare charming
story presented with the utmost fidelity
to its romantic spirit and with the high
est skill in the characterization. For one
evening at least you may be assured of
as good an entertainment as you could
find in the best of metropolitan theatres.
Il will be a shame if the citizens of Mid
dlebury do not show their appreciation
of what Mr.. Bentley is offering them by
filling the town hall on Saturday evening.

heavy losses, the Saxons are return
ina to the attack hourly, according to
latest advices from the battle front,
which now estimate the number OF
German dead and wounded in the fifth
day Of the battle at nearly 10000.
The French losses have been COM

Zapata's reported withdrawal, was

Carranza's government remained at
Vera Cruz awaiting the outcome Of
Obregon's move to again invest the

That the former chief intends to

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager Of the United Press.

Kftchener's new army of million
men ought to be fully equipped by
spring, but 1t is improbable the
French will be able to add greatly to
their own forces. Filling the depleted
French ranks has undoubtedly made
heavy demands on Frances trained
men. The French force probably can
not be increased more than 100000
by spring, making the total number
Of the allies in the west about 3,30O,-
600. 1t is reasonable to assume that
Germany can meet this new force
man for man, but it will not be neces-
sary for her to do SO, If purely de-
fensive campaign is decided upon,
since the allies have been able to
hold their own with numerical infer
iority. Germany probably will con-
slider herself capable Of meeting the
allies 100000 men with no more
than 100000.
The spring campaign in the west,
therefore. may see 6,300,000 men pit
ted against each other. The eastern
situation, may develop so as to COM
pe1 Germany to deplete still further
her western fighting force and this
is in fact the unknown part of the
problem. To Gernany's present east
ern strength of $4,000 must be added
probably 100000 Austrians. making
a total of 2,242.000. Russia probably
has approximately the same number.
Austria and Germany may be able to
raise their joint strength to 100000
men by spring. Whether Russia can
surpass this is not certain, but the
matter is improbable. II the Slavs
can do no more than equal the
strength Of the Teutonic alliance,
there will be total OF 6,oOo.ooo IN
the eastern battle lines. excluding the
Turkish and Servian campafgns. Pos
sfbly 100000 more men will be under
arms there. The completed total oi
ashtinc men this spring may sea at
