OLD NASSAU ORATORY

Princeton Juniors Play Demos
themes Role on Epochal "Sat-
urday of Commencement
Week"

PRINCETON, N. j., June 1O.-The nom.
ination of their former proxy" Woodrow
Wilson, by the Republicans as solution
to the Chicago dilemma couldn't stir up a
bit more enthusiasm than is buging out
from every nook and corner of this his
toric home of the present President of the
United States. The spellbInders of the
Windy City on Lake Michigan's shore de-
livered themselves of no more Demosthenean
outpourings than were waited over Car
negie Lake this morning in the junior ora
torical contest.
The walls of Alexander Hall rang with
the rhetorical and oratorical fervor of the
young speakers and re-echoed with the ap-
plause of admiring relatives and friends
This incident served to notify the world
that saturday of Commencement Week."
an epochal day for all loyal sons of Old
Nassau, had arrived.
This is the 169th commencement of
Princeton.
Trains and trolley, automobiles galore
contributed their cargoes of alumni and
friends of the students from daylight until
some time after the actual start of the days
program.
They hung about Nassau street and wait.
ed for the opening of the chief event of the
day' the commencement circus. Many of
'Hose oIu stuuenls, whose diplomas were
awarded a couple of decades ago became
boys again in their enthusiasm and couldn't
restrain their eagerness for the "big show
to begin.
Those who were to participate, and the
lineup went into the thousands, slipped into
their costumes and emerged as soldiers,
bandits, sailors and nOndescripts, that sue
gested New Years shooters to the Philadel.
phians present. Each class for several
years back, was represented in the motley
aggregation, and each was provided with a
band OF music that forgot melody in the
contest for noisy honors.
More than 5000 persons were lined I'm
along Nassau street from the Fitz-Ran-
dolph gateway and the steps of Old North

STRATEGIC FORTIFIED TRIANGLE
NOW IN RUSSIANS HANDS

LONDON, June 10,
The Daily Chronicles Petrograd corre-
spondent says that the Russians in pierc.
ing the Austrian front at Lutsk broke
through not one or two lines of trenches,
but through a whole deep and complex net
work of the fortifcations that guard one
of the most important sectors of the Aus.
tro-German front. They are still pushing
forward for miles beyond the town.
Lutslk was the headquarters of Archduke
Joseph Ferdnands army, and the impor.
tance of the victory there is that the Rus
slams have broken through Just south of the
point where the Austrian front links up
with the German. The triangle Olyka-
Lutsk-Kolki is in Russian hands, and from
the triangle lead roads and railways to
Koyel and Brest, to Vladimir Volynski and
southwestward to Sokal and Rawaruska, in
Galca.
Fascinating prospects, says the oorre-
spondent open out before General Brus-
siloff for the right wing of the German
front Is enflanked and the left wing of the
Austrian front that commands the ap-
proaches to Lemberg. Apparently during
the battle the Germans threw up reinforce
ments from Brest-Litovsk, for among the
prisoners captured are large number of
Germans.
"The Lutsk victory changes the whole po-
sition on the Russian southwestern front.
Hardly less important is the Russian sue
cess in Galicia, where the Austrian posi-
tions between Tribuchovce and Jaslovtz,
south of Buczacz, have been forced and the
Austrians driven beyond the Stripa.
In Bukovina again the Austrians have
been driven back south of Okna and the
head of the railway leading to Czernovitz is
in Russian hands"

a quiet negro with a persuasive manner
Those present discussed the events OF the

Some of the negroes present thought that
George erred slightly regarding details OF
the subject under discussion and they told
him so.
II appears, however, that George insisted
that he was right. Sam Smith and Adolph
Taylar, also Of quiet temperament, would
not accept any explanations offered by
George and many OF the guests gathered
around.
Those who sided with George thought It
only proper that Smith and Taylor should
leave. In order TO save time they assisted
these guests to the street forgetting for
the moment TO let them obtain their hats
and umbrellas. Others present expressed
