tween Universities.

Complete athletic relationship between
Brown and Dartmouth has just been re-
established by the scheduling Of base
ball games in Providence on May and
in Hanover on May 10 between the two
colleges. An opening wedge to bring
about renewed athletic friendship was
driven home when Brown and Dart
mouth relay teams met in Providence
on February %. the race being Won by
Dartmouth.
Teams representing the two colleges
will meet on the gridiron as soon rs a
date can be arranged. During the last
few years Brown has been playing the
Carlisle Indians In its final football
game nd Dartmouth has met Harvard.
The athletic break between Brown
and Dartmouth took place in the spring
of 1sN, and was caused by n Dartmouth
baseball team leaving the field in Provi-
dence in protest against an umpir's de-
cision. Following this action Brown
severed athletic relations with DHrt-
mouth.
Up to that time rivalry had g." "n
very keen between these natural 49, ~

In 1896 the score was a tie. 10 to 10. IN

was the superior and In basketball hVn-

undergraduates must demonstrate again
to the faculty that they want football
before the gridiron sport can be REIN
stated. A mass meeting Of the student
body has been called for next Wednes-
day night. The question to come up is.
"Wili the undergraduate body support
football as II would be played specified
by the University Committee on Stu
dent Organization?"
The university council, with whom
the final verdict rests. has called upon
the college faculty. as the most inter-
ested body. for Its sanction or disappro-
val of football and the College Commit
tee of the college faculty has requested
the student board to call this gathering
Of the undergraduates.
The general feeling on the campus
Is that football must come under the
conditions named by the committee.
no matter how hard thev seem. or
not at all. but before making It's de-
cision the faculty wishes to give the
students chance for open discus

is only advisory TO the university coun-

An Expert On Russia.

George Kennan in the Outlook)
 do not care to make a prediction with regard to the future of the Rus sian army, but have seen it fight, at the end of long campaign, when it had not been cheered or encour- aged by a single victory; and my con- viction is that it can stand up under reverses as long, and rally from de- feat as quickly as any army that Prussia ever put into the field.
 If I were a friend of Von Hinden- burg, Mackensen and the kaiser think I should venture to give them this warning:
 Don't count on smashing the Rus sian army so that it cannot recover Like the Libyan wrestler, it draws strength from the ground every time it is thrown. You are now doing your level best, but the Russian army will not reach its maximum efficiency until next summer. Then you, with your waning strength, will have to fight harder than you have yet fought for the territory that you now hold"

The Month of Oyster.
(Pridreport Telegram. )

It is easy to rem Der that we may eat oysters in the months hav- ing an "R" in this spelling. May, June, July and August prohibited the delicious bivalves. but September brings them back again. The oysters are now ready, ond like the Walrus and the Carpenter. we may fall to.
 Oysters raised in Connecticut are worth over $1,oOO,00o a year (though you'd never believe that, when the oyster men are coming up for their tax assessments) Maryland, Virginia New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island are the states viewing with Connecticut in the production of this important adjunct to the nations food supplies.
 In the ranks with Arnold Winkle- reid Horatius Cat the bridge) Cover nor Slaton of Georgia, and other heroes, ancient and modern, we must put the man who first ate an oyster He was much more courageous than the man who exploded the theory that tomatoes were not poisonous, be- cause the tomato looks delicious and inviting, and ready to be eaten, while the oyster does not.
 None the less despite Boston's preference for codfish. the oyster is the most valuable product of the worlds fisheries. The approximate value of the worlds oyster crop is given as $2O,000,000, representing over 3o,ooO,oOo bushels, or ten billion oysters. There are fully 15O, 900 per sons engaged in the oyster industry. Tn the United States there are 56,00O oystermen, who man 4,0o0 steamers and 23,O0O sailing vessels or other boats.

The American Minister at Rotterdam. where Archibald is now staying, has been instructed to issue an emergency passport to enable the writer to get back to this country. The Department of Justice will protaN ly be asked to investigate all the actions of Archibald to ascertain If he has violated any of ,he laws of the United

Gems and Precious Stones in 1914.

The total value of the output of precious and seiniprecious stones in the United States in 1914 is reported by D. F.. Sterrct, of the United States Geological Survey, at $124,651. The demand for gems at the Panama Pa cific exposition resulte in an increased production of turquoise and tur- quoise matrix, the production in 1914 being S13,370, as compared with $8,- 075 in 1913. These gems have long been popular in the tourist trade in the West.
 No discoveries of unusually fine deposits of gem minerals were made in 1914, but few prospects for the less valuable gems were found Among these were pink beryl in the quarry of the Maine Feldspar O., on Mount Apatitc near Auburn, Me. amazon stone, a variety of feldspar, near Lone Pine, Cal, White Plains, N. r., and on the coast of Maine; sunstone in the Apache Indian reser- vation of Arizano; and turquoise deposits ir Lander and Eureka coun- ties, Nev.
