An Appreciation of Professor
Gullett

For five years, a constructive
genetic period in the life of the
institution, Prof. T. A. GuIlett
has served the San Marcos Bap-
tist Academy in the dual capaci-
ty of Dean and Professor of His
tory. Upon his voluntary retire
ment from active relation with
the Academy, the Board of Trus-
teees desire to express their
grateful appreciation of the no
BILE and valuable work which
Prof. Gullett has rendered the
Academy in particular and to the
cause of Christian education in
general. We esteem the high
and splendid character Of this
good man whose life we have
found to be adorned with so
many admirable virtues. With
genuine rnselfishneSs and with
nothing short OF heroism, he has
labored ardently and loyallv to
make the Academy what it oug
t. be and to carry out the Ideals
which our people cherish for the
Institution which they love.
As a school man, he has been
a most potent factor in winning
for the Academy its high recog-
milton among the educational in
situations of the land.
We are sure that it is crafty
ing to Prof. Gullett to know that
he has enriched and impressed
for good the large number Of
young people who have enjoyed
his tuition. In touching the live $
Of these students he has vitality

Will Stake All I'm Rush

[By VIM. Philip Simms. United Press

PARIS, March 10.-With blasting
hurricanes of shell fire and furious in
fantry fighting, the battle for Verdun
is now entering the third and what
may be the final phase.

clares that Germany planned mighty

be irreparable. Other experts agree
with him.

outlying forts several times. On one
occasion l was allowed to inspect the
hitherto closely guarded secrets of the
citidel and the forts between verdun
and Paris. Almost a solid maze of
barbed wires and earthworks would
greet any army that fought its way
through Verdun.

first, has conserved his men against
emergencies Of this sort, and despite
any reports to the contrary, Paris Is
serenely confident. A neutral military
observer told me he calculated Ger

mans, it is believed here. German in
fantry captured only advanced French
positions which had been blown to
pieces by lavish waste of shells. The
Germans were checked and moved
down when they rolled up against the
bulwarks to which the French had re-
tired. The second phase Of the strug-
gle was necessarily one Of prepara-
tion. The crown prince re-arranged
his artillery. There are evidences
that he arranged his plans too, the
first program for the taking of Yer
dun being cast aside on account Of the
heavy German losses resulting from
early frontal attacks.
The third phase is developing with
heavy attacks on both wings and bat
tering assaults in the center These
are seemingly preliminary to a grand
assault. when the crown prince will
stake all in a fierce rush upon the Yer
dun fortress from three sides. From
the French viewpoint, even the cap
ture of the citidel itself would be but
a hollow victory for the Germans. For
months Verdun has been of little more
