A GOOD RECORD

John r. Bender has completed his
work as graduate manager and
head of the department of athletics
at the State College of Washington.
He has incurred the i'll will of some
of the alumni and students of the
college, as any coach with backbone
is bound to do and they have been
free with their criticisms, but these
criticisms are not borne out by the
record.
When he came here three years
ago the finances of the student body
were in a precarious condition. By
rigid economy and competent man
agement, he transformed deficit
into substantial surplus His econ
omy aroused opposition, but the
wisdom of his policy has been fully
indicated and all falr-minded stu
dents and alumni now admit that as
graduate manager he has emphatic
ally made good.
AS baseball coach, the first year
he turned out team which won the
conference championship, figuring
on the percentage basis. The sec
ond year he developed a team which
won the championship of the east
side colleges and lost to the Uni
versity OF Oregon by narrow mar
gin in the final contests, after an
eleventh hour shift of the infield
necessitated by an accident to Third
Baseman Anderson. This year he
turned out a team which won every
conference game and captured the
undisputed title to the conference
championship.
AS football coach he has been
handicapped by lack of first class
material, but each season has de-
veloped stronger team than the
year before. He has evolved many
winning offensive and defensive
plays, and has made an excellent
showing against heavier and faster
teams. He has maintained strict
discipline and has impressed upon
the students the necessity of putting
college loyalty above fraternity
spirit or individual ambition.
He has put an end to the dictation
of Coach Dobie of the U. of W. in
the arrangement of the conference
football schedules, to suit himself.
He has pulled off a conference
track meet in Pullman which was a
financial success, while they have
always been financial failures at the
other colleges.
He has set an example OF clean
living and square business methods
He has rendered faithful and eff
Gent service to the college, and i,
deserving of high commentator
and sincere gratitude.

A New Cure.

A bedpost has not generally been re-

Hayes. who has been stone blind for
nine years. so the tale runs. struck his
head violently against the bedpost
Tuesday morning on arising. and was
astounded few minutes afterwards to
find that his sight had been entirely
restored. We do not know whether the
virtue of this cure lay in the bedpost or
in the fact that it was a Boston bed
post, but If 1t was really effected in
this way there would seem to be a
good deal in such inanimate objects not
heretofore dreamed of in the philosophy

UNITED STATES ENVOY TO
BELGIUM is COMING HOME
Return of Brand Whitiock Is CaveII
Case Echo-Illness Given
as the Reason.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Brand Whit
lock, United States minister to Bel
GUM, is returning home This an
nouncement was made here on
Wednesday.
The reason given for Whitlock's re-
turn is i'll health. His physician, it
was stated, has advised him that he
would be unable to regain his health
if he persisted in his strenuous du-
ties at Brussels.
Although it has been known for
some time that Minister Whitlock has
been in i'll health, the announcement
that he was returning at this time
caused a sensation.
The fact that German newspapers
have criticized in the most severe
terms Whitlock's activities in behalf
of Edith Cavell, the nurse spy, whom
he tried to save from execution, some
even demanding that his recall be
asked, aroused considerable specula-
ton.
That he has been summoned home
by the state department after Ger
many had protested against the MAX
ing public of his account Of the Cavell
execution. was the belief in some
quarters.
He indirectly charged breach Of
diplomatic confidence against the Brit
ish foreign Office for making public
the report from Secretary Gibson of
the American legation at Brussels.
Whitlock in his report said that the
publicity caused him serious embar-
rassment with the Germans. He add
ed, however, that he believed this had
been fully cleared up
At the time Miss Caveu was SEN
fenced to death, WhitIock was con-
fined to his bed, but made an effort
to save her by using his secretary and
securing the aid of the Spanish min
lister
