Senior Surprise.

On Wednesday evening, May 26,
the Senior Surprise will be given
in Fraternal hall. OF course, we
do not know exactly what the
Seniors are intending to do How
ever, it has been customary for
them to give play on the evening
OF Class day and we do not think
that we will be disappointed in
that. But whatever form their
surprise will take it is sure to be
worth while and we hope that all
the patrons of our school will be
present, as for all other events of
commencement week.

Italy the same conditions are coming
about.
We have sent forth the best of our
breed and hosts of that best have

And the war has only begun. Now
that the Russians are in retreat we

Such an epidemic of unnatural
deaths among the young manhood
of a dozen countries in Europe makes
a husband famine inevitable.
Today in England there are ~
manageable, we'll bonn women to
one eligible man, and the ratio Will
soon be much higher. The upper
class girl of 10 so q who is not al
ready engaged rhust give up the hope
of marriage.
What result f'iII a husband famine
produce A great awakening, for one
thing. Certainly much of the work of
the English world must be done by
women for a generation.
I believe in marriage, but l do not,
believe in the Unwise war marriage,
romantic though it be. The vast ma
jOrity of those heroic weddings, cele-
brated by thousands in the eight COM
Blatant countries, must be childless.
Perhaps fortunately so.
The position of the war widow is
pathetic, but woe to the war wife. To
support a manned husband, to rear
weaklinb children, that is a tragedy
more tragic than loneliness.

In 1876 the German birth rate was 40

French birth rate of 1872 was 945,-
900, Of 1907 below 100000, of 1911

Ready to Map Out Plans
AS yet there are no intimations that
the President has fixed any definite
time for submitting tine program OF
national defense to Congress, but his
purpose Is said to be to map out COM
prehensive plans, so that no time will
be lost should he decide to call q spe-
eial session.
The delicacy of the international af- =
fairs brought these facts to light and
officials admitted to-day that for tho
next few weeks the question of ma
tional defense will be a foremost one.
The President hopes to lay foundations
for a permanent national policy parti-
cuIarly for the army. Details of a
reserve system being planned are with
held but IL is said the aim of the gen.
eral staff is to create a reserve army of
at least 100000 men and possibly
more.
In the navy work is proceeding
steadily on the perfection OF the SUBJ
marine and the aeroplane. Attention
has been concentrated on putting the
navy on an equality with the most

Baltimore, Md, July 24.-Thorough
inspection of the Maryland Steel Works
at Sparrows Point by ten representa-
tives of big steel concerns. including
several from different branches of the
Carnegie plants. has caused consid-
cradle speculation here as to the OBJ
ject. An important deal is believed to
be on hand. One of the company s
officials said:
"These men are only operators, and
they have not authority to talk for
their companies There is not a chance
that they would discuss the steel sit
uation with you"
Asked the object OF the inspection
trip of the steel men. the official said:
IT presume they are here for ideas
The heads of our departments at times
make such trips"
The wheels of industry are running
at the plant now as never before
Nearly 5000 men are employed in the
marine department and others are en-
gagged as fast as they apply. Scores OF
new men were employed to-day.

Unsatisfactory Attendance
The outstanding feature of the re-
port is the complaint which is made
about the attendance which Is stated
to be far from satisfactory. In this
connection Colonel Sweeney says the
company commanders are either car
rying men on the rolls who have
ceased to be members of the guard
in order that the minimum enlist
ment of their organization may be
shown or they are lax in discipline.
The State property in the hands OF
the guard, the company papers and
books and other conditions are re-
ported to be in satisfactory condition,
but the inspecting officers note thai
there was shown no increase in effl-
cheney. This was especially true OF
