SOLDIERS OF FRANCE MUST
 USE X RAZOR
Army Orders Destroying Natural Ambush of the Men-Much HumOr
 Brought Out.

PARIS, Aug. Special The beard of the French soldier is doom ed in an army order directing that the men at the front shave all but mustaches. The order brought an outburst Of humorous and ironic dis. cussions in the trench newspapers to which some of the famous French artists. philosophers and literary men have contributed
 Jean Richepin, the dramatist, writ ing in the Fuse. says:
 "The beard is gone. but what is the difference to us? In place of it is courage that grows. Let the beard fall and French courage grow"
 Edmond Rostand celebrates the beard in verse as a symbol of "all beauty of all France. a soul, iewei. a torch, a prod"
 Henri Bergson says:
 T am not afraid to so as far as to say that a visage is matter while the beard is mind"
 Relieves Army Of "Useless Weight"
 August Rodin, the sculptor, says:
 "Men without boards. women with out sex. statues without heads. bod ies without arms. humanity without weakness. ,aat is my opinion"
 Maurice Barres grayely regiets the beard, which he says was ter. itage of long ago in which the dead lived again and which bound us so mysterloualy to tho soil He adds:
 "It was part of the war and of our courage"
 Henri Battnle mourns the beard as "nest of souvenirs. dear and tender. somewhat timid and little shivery."
 Gen. Pierre Cherfils, reasoning technically. excuses the measure be- cause "the beard of a trooper weighs on an average of 50 grammes With 100000 men at the front this brings the aggregate weight to 12O tons. It was natural that the staff should think of relieving the army of this considerable and useless weight

AS to the duration of the war Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg said:
THAT depends upon our enemies.

Gen Won Ludendorf added: 'We do
not think of peace. We are absolutely

THOMPSON COURSE
Entertainments for First Semester at

Four entertainments comprise the
program of the Thompson Course at
Williams College for the first
semester. Because of the late opening
of college, definite arrangements for
the remainder of the course have not
as yet been made. This course is
tree to the students, but an admission
fee of fifty cents is charged to the
public.
The Fuller Sisters. who met with
most appIeciative reception in 1913
and 1914, will again render their
quaint English folksongs as the first
number of the series on November
16. John Kendrick Bangs, the author
of Foothills of Parnassus," THE
Idiot" and many other humorous
works, will give lecture and readings
on December IA. John A. Lomax of
Texas University, who delighted a
large audience last year with his
songs of the Cowboy, will render
selections of southern folklore. en-
titled Ballads of the Cotton Fields
on January 49,
Admiral Robert Il. Perry, the dis
coverer of the North Pole, will give
an illustrated lecture a week later on
his several polar expeditions. The
late Norris X. Jesup, who has made
many gifts to Williams. was a close
friend and associate of Admiral Perry.
and it is an interesting fact that the
donor of the hall in which the explor-
or will speak, made possible,
through his financial aid, the discov-
cry of the pole. Mr.. Jesup died just
before the start of the successful ex-
pedition. and Admiral Perry has per-

WiIber Dunton Obituary.

Wilber Dunton, aged 6S years, died
in Rutland, Oct. 20, l916.He is sur
vived by his wife, Who was Helen Cut
Ter, formerly of Woodford, also two
brothers. Melvin r. of Newark, n. j.,
Andrew j., of Rutland and one sister,
Harriet NJ. Burton also of Rutland.
Upon the hillside over there
TWO graves are side by side,
Two precious ones to me so dear,
Are dearer since they died.
And in the day or in the night,
Wherever | may be,
Two graves that lie upon the hill
Seem ever near to me.
Last winters snow was drifted high
Upon a single grave;
Last summers flowers fingered there,
And all their sweetness gave;
But when the autumn crept along
With drear and dismal tread
No longer could ! sadly say
One precious one of mine is dead.
For by the side Of that lone grave
There is another mound:
Another sad and vacant place
Within my home is found
And oh, how lonely are the days.
How dark the nights and drear,
Since two1 loved so fond and true,
VIII nevermore be here.
Two vacant places in my home
Where one there was before;
Two voices that | loved so well
Are silent evermore.
And where one grave was on the hill
Another one / see,
And none can tell but God above
How soon there may be three.
