the fiercest Of the eastern front

According to the Petrograd dis
patch, the Ave Austrian armies
along the front are in full retreat,

not hold their positions against the
artillery attacks Of the Russians

eastern front.
100000 REPORTED LOST.
Petrosrad now claims $1,000 Austrian
prisoners, and sets the Austrian casu-
alities Of the present offensive, five days

The greatest gain for the Russians is
Lutsk. the third corner OF the volhynian
triangle OF fortresses. At this point the
Russians drove the Austrians back
twenty-five miles practically without
halt.
The capture Of Lutzk threatens the
Austrians with a new invasion Of Cali

express the fear that the abandonment
OF Dubno. the apex of the volhynian

foally necessary. and the fall Of that
stronghold would compel the Austro-

border.

Springfield (Vt.) III the Springfield
town hall Saturday night, the score be-
ing SO to 25. 1t was the fastest game
seen there in a long time. The swift
passing and close covering by the Com
pany l boys was a surprise to the home
team In this respect Jack Clune s
team has improved much by faithful
practice. A good sized crowd was
present. The lineup of the Brat
tleboro team was as follows: Cava-
naugh, center; Dunlevy and Fitzgibbon,
forwards; Johnson and Manning,
guards. Ryan substituted at center in
the third period. Three l5-minute pc
RODS were played and the baskets made
by the Brattleboro men were: Fitzgib-
bon, II; Dunlevy, 8; Cavanaugh, 5
Manning, 81 Ryan and johnson,
each. The Springfield team will play
here next week.
Company / will play in Claremont, n.

is expected that the latter date will
mark the beginning of trip to Fort

cess has attended the efforts of the

complished without funds, and it is
hoped that the patronage will he such
that some needed equipment may be

ferings by reason of their adherence
to the state of New York, and many
of them emigrated thereto. All of

TRIBUTE TO FRED HARRIS.
Bob Dunbar Suggests Statue to
Outing Club Founder.

"Bob' Dunbar of the Boston journal
has the following tribute to Fred
Harris Of Brattleboro:
In the old days, when Dartmouth
lay snow-bound all winter, men did
not get exercise enough, livers became
clogged, the tap of the hammer was
heard in the dormtories and dissatis-
faction with the administration, the
faculty and the coaches ran rife among
the students. They were even dissat-
isfied with themselves, so President
Nichols says, recalling those Spartan
winters when he was o member of the
faculty and not yet president. But now,
with good third of the college own
ing and using skis or snowshoes, and
another third hiking out to the Vale
of Tempe every Saturday afternoon to
witness the hair-raising exploits of the
ski jumpers, and with the remaining
500 men at least sleeping with their
windows wide open, there is no place
or room in Hanover for a crouch. Red
blood and good temper are the happy
products of the Outing club s activities,
and the time may come when a statue
of Fred Harris, II, its founder, shall
stand among the pines of the college
park as the greatest benefactor of his
college. Meanwhile the winter activities
of the new Dartmouth out-of doors are
reaching this week their 1916 culnfina.
ton in the annual winter carnival, an
event which, for magnitude, one must
cross the Canadian border to approx
mate.
