be the Allies could borrow some money
in Argentine, English periodicals pub
lished here today say there is not the
ghost of a chance of such a thing.
The Buenos Aires Standard indorses
an estimate that more than 373 ,6S5,39O

English money is invested in the re-
public, adding that the Argentines
need more for development purposes
and would be borrowing it if times
were not so tight" that it is not to

"Of course" the Standard admits,

CHASE FOR LOST LOVES

London, Nov. II (By maiD-"Cu-
pid's Bureau" at the British war Of
flee, is one of the wars enique and
lively institutions.
When loves dart stings the British
"Tommy," temporarily or otherwise,
a. one Of his many ports of call in
France OF England, there's usually the
girl he left behind him. Tommy" is
both a rapidly migrating and most
forgetful person, according to the Of
f;cials who administer Cupid's depart
ment in the big stone building in
Whitehall. His "last' girl is forever
writing him letters and sending him
packages which he probably receives,
but doesn't acknowledge. Then the
girl writes to Cupid" to find out
what's happened to Tommy" If "Cu-
p;d" answers that he is at present
somewhere else and that his writing
arm is in perfect conditions, the ''last"
girl probably knows that his ardor
for her has cooled. Oftentimes, how
ever, the last" girl finds that she's
still the "last" and finds her Tommy"
tucked away in some hospital bed or
perhaps among the sterner casualty
lists.
The War Office scrupulously OBJ
serves every request for information
Word is Immediately communicated
to "Tommy's" regiment, wherever it
is, to see if he is still in the land of
the living.
One girl is looking for two "Tom-
miles," An Irish girl pathetically asks
only to know how she's" getting
along. A Cockney girl informed "Cu-
rid's Bureau" that she hasn't heard
"anythink" about him for three months
and she's ready to do "anythink" to
find out "somethink" about him. It's
the same old tangled problem every
day at "Cupid's Bureau"

WILL CALIPATRIA BRANCH
BECOME THE MAIN LINE?

There is apparently more than the
strange coincidence in the fact that
the Southern Pacific and Spreckels
settled their differences and came to
an agreement on the San Diego d
Arizona railroad, whereby this road
is to be rushed to completion, and in
the fact that the Southern Pacific i'm
mediately starts work on the Cali
patria & Westmoreland railroad.
Putting two and two together, there
ore many who believe that this Cali
ratria branch is to be extended to
connect with this San Diego & Ari-
zona railway, and that the Calipatria
East Branch railroad, when started,
will continue on through to Yum,
thus making a direct connection be-
tween San Diego and Yuma.

GRADUATION IN DARKNESS

night, we're very much curtailed and
interfered with by the unpreced ented
storm that swept over this section At
the critical moment scvereness of the
storm put the electric light plant out
of commission and it was not possible
to carry through the program, and
what portion Of it was given was in al
most total darkness. Ii was very dis
appointing to the class, faculty and tie
audience. The fine ecorations, lastly
costumed young ladies', choice musical
selections were not to be seen or heard.
In the gloom of darkness, with rain
and wind beating the windows and the
roof. the class choruses were sung, adj
dress to the class by Principal Heindei,
invocation and benediction by Rev Rut-
ter, were given. The annual address
by Rev. RoysL. Smith of Chicago shed

the subject of the High Cost of Low

of student graduates. TWAS an inspir-
ing address in both thought and deiiv-
cry. The presentation of class "V's"
and of diplomas BY Prof. Heindel, was
deferred because of darkness and late
ness of the hour.
No class Of Viroqua graduates could
have had so indelibly impressed on their
