YALE ARMQRY
Dedication Is Growing
Event
Artillery Quarters to Be in Yale
Bowl

New Haven, Conn, June 19.-The
simple wartime Commencement pro-
gram from the graduate point of view,
on this El's alumni day. was of
patriotic nature. following the dedica-
ton of the Yale artillery armory at
Yale bowl. Upon returning from the
dedicatory exercises the graduates
gathered by classes on the campus.
With Captain Waldo c. Potter. Y.
S. A., as marshal. column was form
ed. headed by the same military units
which had taken part in the armorv
dedication, followed by the president.
members of the corporation, unlVersl-
ty officers, guests and alumni, Whlcn
marched past memorials to Yale men
who have lost their lives in various
wars. These are the Nathan Hale stat
re outside Connecticut hall; the che
ney-Ives Gateway, which records
deaths in action during the Spanish
war; the new Hale tablet the Miller
Gateway. Memorial hall and the Leo
ward flagstaff in Hewitt quadrangle. II
was in this latter space that the eA-
ercises were carried out.
President Tiadley said in welcoming
graduates:
"Close TO this spot we dedicated two
wears ago a memorial to the sons OF
Yale who lost their lives in the civil
War. 1t was far from our thoughts
that those who erected that monument
to fathers and brothers should soon be
called upon to dedicate themselves and
their children to another and greater
struggle.
1T is one of the great Glories OF
Yale that she has always responded
to every national movement of free
dom. Her response today. in this grave
crisis, is whole souled and universal on
the part of hundreds of students who
have enlisted in the service of the ma
ton, and thousands who are prepar-
ing themselves for such service and
tens of thousands of the graduates and
friends bid them GodSpeed.'

According to a railroad man who de-

tion is correct they are short 6S brake
men and correspondiEgly. large num-
Der of men in each of the ~''--. .ch-

in part responsible for this as many

young men who are seeking positions.
1t is known that the runs We're all laid
out and that bids were called for on
them from the men and that sudden

The Kings order is commented on by
the morning newspapers with enthusi-

with the sentiments Of the present

nowadays the court must identify its

The reform provides for the eventual
complete disappearance Of the titles

Great Britain while titles Of royal
highness, prince and princess will be
confined to the children and grand

Objects
First Word of Visit to U. S
Through Sim Fein Action

Dublin. June 19.-Several demonstra-
tions were held late last night in connec-
ton with the return to Dublin of the re-
leased Sim Feiners. Two men climbed
the walls of the ruined postoffice build
ing on which they tied the Sim Fein
flag. The crowds sang Sim Fein songs
and, amid great cheering. tore down re-
cruiting posters. The police did not in
terfere until about o'clock this morn
ing when two demonstrators were arrest
ed charged with breaking into the post
Office and setting fire to timbers. The
police later dispersed several marching
bands.
Thes provisional executive of the Sim
Fein has decided to demand passports
for three of its members to proceed to
the United States for the purpose of op-
posing the objects of the Irish party mis-
sion there.
No previous word has been received
that an Irish mission, was to come to the
