ing this war.
There seems to be a general mis-
apprehension here in America as to
the attitude of the German people to-
ward the Kaiser. The German people
do not think of him as the exalted, I'M
approachable figure, the war lord as
he is called here. Every German, even
the humbest citizen, on the other
hand. regards the Kaiser with affection.
They look upon him as one Of them
selves. They know that he has their
best interests at heart. He would be
the last one in the empire to sacrifice
their lives merely to crafty personal
ambition.
How absurd II is TO picture the EN-
peror as a selfish, ambitious ruler, who
is willing to crush his people TO ad.

were needed to refute this idea there
is the fact that the Kaiser has sent his
six sons to the war to face exactly the
same dangers as the common soldiers.
He has sent even the most studious OF |
his sons, who would in times OF peace
be in some university, and by curious
chance he has been the first to be
wounded. Is 1t any wonder that the
German people throughout the en-

Those interested in athletics in
Washington will probably be sur
prised to learn that the only man to

teams in the intercollegiate gymnas-
tic championships. now lives here.
Lewis C. Everard Yale '0s coach OF
the gymnastic team at Old Eli until
last February, left the New Haven in
stitution to accept a position with the
Forest Service.
Mr.. Everard is an athlete and has
always taken an interest in all
branches of athletics. First as a stu
dent at Yale and later as an instruc-
tor in English at that institution, he
has always been a worker for sport
there.
After graduating. he took hold OF
the coaching and in 1910, 1911 and 1912
had the satisfaction of seeing the blue
OF his alma mater triumph over its
rivals.
That he still retains the old punch
was demonstrated in the past year
when Yale again won in gymnastic
competition with the other colleges.
In the national intercollegiate meet
at New York City a year ago last
April. Everard landed fifth place in
competition with the leading expo
nents Of gymna site work in the coun-

a corking race against the Arundel

Drowned shoulders of the oarsmen of
both crews made single blotch to the
eyes OF the spectators.
They came down the first half of
the stretch nose-and-nose, and there
was not man who could have fore
told who was to win. In the last
quarter mile. the Arundels began to
forge ahead and they never lost the
lead.
They advanced gradually until the
bow of the Arundel shell could be seen
the Arundels were a full length to
the good.
This gives the Arundels the first
leg of the Commodore Robinette chal-
lenge cup. 1t will be necessary. how
ever, for them to beat the Potomacs
twice more in succession to gain final
possession.
The race was delayed for sometime
on account of an accident which hap
pened to the eight-oared shell which
the Potomacs were to have used. A
crew was coming in from training
about dark Friday. when the shell
