trap apshooting league.
The colleges that discontinued atf-

such an unwise move. However, they
will get back-or hope to at least
by football time. That's the sport
on which no money is lost.
The South Shore Country Club.

EDITORIAL NOTE, - william Le-

the latter's revelations Of the inner

"Few people have been more closely ns-
sOciated with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger

LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information nt his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last SIX years the British Cow

hunkey in pink silk stockings, and a

heels together and saluted smartly on

kaiser's son. "She's uncommonly pret-

her! I've heard, too, that Count George
is a highly jealous person, but, for
tunately, he will be very busy writing
