of the War

The Columbia War Hospital. at Co
lumbia Oval, built and equipped by
Columbia University and its graduates,
changed its name yesterday after
noon to United States Army General
Hospital No 1, and entered the service
of the government for the duration OF

Ceremonies attending the transfer

tillery band from Fort Slocum played
several patriotic airs, and then Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler Of the
university delivered the presentation
address.
He traced the growth of the hospital
and spoke of the work which it already
has done. At one time, be said 800
nurses were receiving their training
there. Many of them have since gone
TO France.
Following his speech the American
flag was run up on the pole in front of
the buildings, and Colonel +. X. Schrei-
ner. of the Medical Corps, accepted the
hospital on behalf OF the Secretary OF

The statement was provoked by de-
bate among the board members over
the appeal on physical grounds
Of Louis William Herman. OF Local

three leading orthopedic special
lists 20 the effect that he had double

out that the provost marshal general :

To this suggestion Mr.. Mills replied;
There is wide gulf between pract-

save the government much money by
reversing the local board In physical

The first public program for the
fall season of Bethany college was
given Thursday evening in Guild hall
by two members of the fine arts fac
ulty, Miss Gertrude Mutton, pianiste,
and Miss Helen Gray, reader. Miss
Gray is a new member of the faculty
this year, and her appearance last
night was her debut before a Topeka
audience. She made a most favorable
impression, giving a selection of read
ings of diversified interest. Her speak
ing voice is charming, her manner
and presence pleasing, and her inter-
pretations quite satisfying. She wore
a pretty gown of pink satin and chif-
fon, and received from friends in the
audience a handsome gift of white
mammoth chrysanthemums.
Miss Mutton has been at the head
OF the piano department at Bethany
for two years, and has appeared on
frequent occasions in public recital.
The most difficult number appearing
on her program was the De Minor
Concerto by Mcdowell, which is not
often attempted by local artists on &C
count of its many technical difficult
ties and it's whirlwind tempo in some
parts. Miss Mutton played the first
movement of the concerto, and the
second piano part was taken by Miss
EVans. A charming number given by
Miss Mutton was Bird as Prophet"

"CALLS" BRITISH NAVY
London Paper Condemns 1t for Per-

London, Oct. 19.-The Daily Mail
condemns what it calls the failure of
the British fleet to prevent the Ger
man fleet from becoming master of
the Gulf of Riga and demands That
the admiralty make an explanation
of this humiliating display in the
Baltic"
After recalling the success of the
British submarines against the Ger
mans in the Baltic in the summer and
autumn of 1915 the newspaper adds:
The Germans have accomplished
all they were prevented from achiey-
ing in 1915 and they have done so
without single blow being struck
at them by any arm of the British
navy, navy far stronger than it was
two years ago and recently reinforced
by the addition of the American
fleet"
