Later events have furnished a new

ng that Germany has in any direction

German Resources Endless.
Germany's resources. as well as the

ractically endless. Her foundries.

trebled. Public opinion must support
nd encourage this industrial effort and
soldiers and women especially must
show special respect to the young men
working in military factories. when
every impulse within them drives them
towards the front and military glories."
Confer $4,000 Medals.
The steady courage. bravery. and I'M
flinching determination of the French
army is shown by the number of war
crosses which already have been dis
tributed or are about to be conferred.
Already $4,000 crosses have been ac-
counted for. The citations in the or
ders of divisions, brigades. and regi-
ments are so numerous that the manu-
facture of war crosses has had to be
speeded up. They are now being pro-
duced with praiseworthy CELEBRITY.
As to collective citations, the ON
cial" will publish an announcement In
a few days, which will give pleasure
to the French soldiers. The notice will
set forth that soldiers who are men
toned in collective citations will be
entitled to the war cross as we'll as the
units mentioned.
The cross conferred on a corps will
remain in the hands of the comman-
dant who, at the end of hostilities. will
deposit It in the general quarters or
etats-majors or in the sale d'hon-
neur" of the corps. With the cross
will be a copy Of the text Of the cita-
ton giving the circumstances under
which il was won.
The Belgian soldiers. whose bright
blue and red uniforms have made them
excellent targets for German marks
men. are now to be clad in khaki of
somewhat more greenish color than
that of their English comrades. Fifty
thousand of these new Belgian uni
forms are now ready.
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth
have made heavy personal sacrifices in
order to raise the necessary money for
these new uniforms. which are practi-
cally invisible at distance and which
will undoubtedly save many brave
lives.
With the old uniforms also disappear
all helmet and other conspicuous head
wear, which are to be replaced by soft
caps of very light waterproof khaki.

After many years football has al

college sport is no longer the exclus-

critics of the game who listened to the
explanation of the Wolverine mentor.

combinations of big universities in the

before the game with Cornell, in re- /.

why, with something like 5000 or 5000
students. we can't have better team.
Now these same critics forget that.
according to the rule. there can be only
eleven men on the field at one time.
The ability of each comes into play
here, and why does it not stand to rea-
son that q small college can get just
as good men on the field as the big
ones?
In the past it has been a question Of
better coaching for the bigger elevens.
but that is not true now. With grad
yates docking back to the schools each
fall the intensive coaching system,
where they could afford it, has been in
some part neutralized
