COLBY COLLEGE
Murray Prize Debate Held in
Baptist Church On Monday
Eve Won by Messrs.
Riley, Sulley, Flanders

The negative team, composed of Ar
thur B. Riley '16 of Bridgton, Frederick
F. Sully '16 of Philadelphia, Pa. and
Carroll B. Flanders II of Skowhegan,
won the fifth annual Murray prize de-
bate held at the First Baptist church
Monday evening. The event was gener-
ally conceded to be the best in years.
The teams were very evenly. matched
and the arguments presented by both
sides were clear and convincing. The
stage presence of the speakers was es-
pecially good, showing careful prepara-
ton and training.
The question Resolved: That in cities
of $4,000 and over, in the United States,
a tax upon land alone should be subst-
tuted for the present general property
tax. the substitution to be gradual and
extending over period of 10 years. is
of universal present-day interest. 1t is
a question of much depth and many quail
ifications, and a great deal of credit is
due the speakers for the clear and inter
esting manner in which they presented
their arguments, thus making the debate
of vital educational value 70 the audi
ence.
1t was thought by many that the af-
firmative team as whole gave a bet
ter presentation than did their oppon-
ents. but the negative was far superior
in advancing crushing arguments. Mr..
Flanders, final speaker for tie negative,
proved himself to be the master debater
Of the evening. His convincing argu-
ments and faultless delivery placed him
in class by himself.
The rebuttal was sharp and incisive
upon both sides. and the audience was
divided in opinion as to which team
would win. After a delay of less than
five minutes the judges presented their
decisions, and Professor Clarence H.
White, chairman OF the debate, announc-
ed the winners. The applause which fol-
lowed left no doubt as to the fairness
of the decision. The board Of judges
was composed of Senator Charles +.
johnson, Rev. Frank L. Phalen and Hon.
Reuben w. Dunn. The timekeepers were
Harold A. Small and Ernest Scribner Of
the Colby Debating Society.

PETR0CRAD DESPATCH

London, May 4, 4.40 A. MA dis
patch from Petrograd to the Times
dated Monday, says:
1.-THE Austrian advance at Ciezko-
vice iE the Carpathians although
checked, is deemed to be highly sym
pathomatic. Ciezkowice is situated on
the Donajec near Gorlice and Tarnow,
on the roads from Tymbark to Cracow
and the enemy's movements here are
no less important than at Stry, and
other sections of our front.
THE Austrians have concentrated
here very considerable and entirely
fresh reinforcements from the interior.
Their advance was facilitated by the
open character Of the terrain, which
is admirably adapted to fighting. The
enemy set himself the task not only
of dislodging us from the line Of the
Donajec but of influencing our posi-
ton on the lower Nida''

domestic criticisms.


'Since the enemy first made use OF this
method Of covering his advance with a
cloud of poisoned air he has repeated il
both in offence and defence wherever the
wind has been favorable.
The effect Of this poison is not merely
disabling or painlessly fatal as has been
suggested in the German press. Those
victims who do not succumb on the
field and who can be brought into hos
pitfalls suffer acutely, and a large pro-
portion of the cases die a painful and
lingering DEATH Those who survive are
in little better shape, as the injury to
their lungs appears to be Of a perma-
nent character and reduces them to a
condition which points to their being
invalids for life. These effects must have
been well known to the German scien-
lists who devised this new weapon, and
to the military authorities who sane
toned It's use.
II am Of the opinion that the enemy
has definitely decided to use these gases
as a normal procedure. andy that pro-
