Europe and Turkey, two hundred
thousand women and children In
Albania have died Of starvation.
While each woman and child in
Belgium has plenty 10 eat, women
and children in Albania have gnaw-
ed al the carcasses OF dead horses
in the streets.
William willard Howard, OF New
York, who has returned from his
third trip TO this hunger zone OF
Europe, predicts. that the entire
population Of Albania will die OF
famine and pestilence unless help

is fifty dollars bushel, -four eighty

Howard "is that a nation is dying
Of hunger, while the people Of the
United States. laden with gifts for
the rest Of Europe and for Turkey,
pass by on the other side.
"Is il fairs IL human--that the

divided. There is no denying the fact
that the Colby team was a distinct dis
appointment in the Bowdoin game. 1t
lacked the driving power that it should
possess. The men ere in college, they are
out for the team, it is heavy enough and
In every way should outclass every other
team in the State, but there seemed to be
something lacking, team play was lost
art and the most of the team tackled like
lot of school boys. 1t is up to the
coaches to eradicate these faults during
the week and If they can do so there IS
little doubt of what the result will be- it
is the uncertainty of what the coaches
can accomplish with the Colby team that
makes the coming contest of great in
terest. The game will be called at 23o on
the field and it is expected that one of
the largest crowds for years will be on
hand to see the fun. ..
