Derivation Of. Germany.

"C"rman" and Germany" come from
the Latin Germanicus and Germania.
'whic, were the Roman names for the
Germans and their country. The words
are supposed to be from Celtic root
which some say meant "shouters" and
others say meant "neighbors." The
Germans call themselves "Deutsch,"
which Is from the same root as
Dutch" and .1Teuton." The root
meant "of the people, or belonging to
the people," and may have been the re-
suit Of an effort to put into barbarian
tongue the Greek word ethnikOs. mean
ing the same thing. "of the people" or
racial" The relation between
"Deutsch" and ''reuton" Ia more easily
seen when we consider that ''Deutsch"
used to be spelled "Teufsch.

The Mysteries Of Rain.

II Is usually supposed that the down.
pour Of rain that sometimes follows a
fash Of lightning Is due to the coales-
cence Of fine drops on losing their cleo
trical charge. but a Finnish observer
concludes that the thunder Jars the
drops together. Near Vasa a heavy
thunderstorm came up from the east
late. one afternoon. and. as the sun
was unclouded. brilliant double rain.

hour. arching from horizon to horizon.
At each roll Of thunder the rainbows
seemed TO be much shaken. the wedge
being displaced and the colors blurred.
This could not be due to the lightning.
and 1t seemed that the same cause
might enlarge the raindrops and dis
turb the rainbow.

MODERN WARFARE.

The opinion is prevalent that the
loss Of life in this war is unusually
great. The feeling is that to 90 to
France is to 90 to certain death.
This idea is of course without foun-
dation.
The losses in this war are tremen-
dously large in bulk, but they are
small as compared with the number
of men engaged.
In the battle Of Shiloh the casual
ties were more than one-third of the
troops engaged on either side. This
was the result Of single battle. But
throughout the entire duration of the
present war the casualties of the
Canadian troops, and they have been
in the thick of the fighting, has not
been one-fifth of the total forces sent
across the seas by the Dominion.
Again, Grant in his final campaign
against Lee started out with an army
of 10000. When Lee surrendered
Grants casualty list had reached
100000. The breaches were filled by
the steady stream Of reinforcements.
1t is difficult to get figures showing
either the number of men engaged in
battle or tine casualties, but those that
are obtalnable bear out the assertion
that the percentage of losses to the
number engaged is very much small
er than in previous wars.
Because war has become so much
more murderous, the open fighting,
with its certainty of death, has been
abandoned. Such attacks as those
before Fredericksburg at the bloody
angle" of Spottsylvania, II attempted
now, would mean utter humiliation.
50 they are not attempted. Paradox
.icala as il is, the greater destructive
ness of the modern implements Of
war has iedt0a greater conservation
of lives. II ~ ~ -v'' .@t
The casualties in this war are enor-
NOUS when set off by themselves, but
compared with the myriads engaged
they are not large. Evansville Cour-

Washington State
Wins From University

Seattle, Nov. 3O.-Washington State
college yesterday won the Pacific coast
football title from the University of
Washington by score of Il to 0, after
one of the stubbornest fights ever put
up by losing team on University field.
Six times Pullman threatened to score
and twice the eollegians went over the
goal line on their last down.
Short, steady gains by Pullman s
backs took them within distance time
after time when the Washington men
held and forced Pullman to give over
the ball. The scores were made early
I in the second and fourth uarters, the
/ last touchdown requiring six bucks to
cover five yards.
Bangs, Pullman S wonderful halfbaek
only once got away for more than five
wards, Anderson, Washington s tackle,
spilling him a score of times. Anderson
and Blake were almost impregnable
and Pullman s offtaekle plays gained
only through Washington right side.
Pullman Nears Goal Often
Straight football accounted for both
scores, but forward passes in the last
five minutes put Pullman on the six
yard line at the finish. Washington
made Pullman fight for every inch on
straight football, and Sehnebley, Glover
and Gillis were put out of the game
with injuries.
! Washington S only offensive point
was Blake 5 toe, while the defensive
playing of Anderson, Blake and Mur-
ply kept the score down. Mud made
the bah slippery and costly fumbles
were numerous.
For Pullman, Bangs and Zimmerman
were the mainstavs. Zimmerman com
pleted three passes and played strong
| defensive game, while Bangs. bore the
lbrunt of the offensive, smashing thru
the university time after time for gain:
Glover, until injured, made consistent
yardage.
Seven thousand spectators, including
400 State college students, attended.

Failure to Receive
OuestiOnnaire No Excuse

Portland, Or, Nov. 30.-Failure by
any man registered for the draft to
receive one of the Questionaires soon to
be mailed to every registered man for
him to answer, will not excuse him from
responding within the time limit Of
seven days.
Specific notice to this effect is con-
tanned in the new draft regulations, just
received by local draft exemption
boards.
Consequently, every registered man,
whether he has been previously exempt
ed or not, should keep in close touch
with his local board so as to learn when
his name is posted by the board as hav-
ing been sent QUESTIONABLE.
The registrant will be assisted IN
making out of the QUESTIONABLE and in
safeguarding all his legal rights, by any
lawyer, free of charge. The entire legal
profession of the country has been call
ed on by the government to perform
this work free of charge as a patriotic
service.
Men previously exempted are just as
much subject to the requirements OF
the QUESTIONABLE as men who have not
been exempted, because on and after
December Is, all previous exemptions
will be revoked.
The eases of registrants previously
exmpted viii be considered all oyel
again on the basis of the information
contained in their Questionaires. Con
sequently, it is of extreme Importance
that no registered man fail to answer
his QUESTIONABLE in the seven day timt
limit, for failure to do SO automatically
valves his rights to be placed in any
other than Glass L, which viii be called
to the eolors first.
The Questionaires have not yet beer
sent out to registered men. They vii
be issued very shortly, however. Watel

ment as to the dates.

SPIRITLESS CANES

New York, Nov. 3O.-The fitting
football season, disappearing over the
horizon along Win thanksgiving Day,
left little but memory.
war times, crushing the football spirit
at harvard, l aIe aud Princeton, also
crushed ali spirit for tine annual round
ups that picK this or tnar man the best
OF his position. III has, however, failed
to crush the annual rlN amy that springs
up Internationally. There are so MANY
good teams in the country TINS year II
IS practically impossible to choose a
champion.
Selecting an all-American football
team this year is going to be treadlng
on the toes OF proprlety. Service teams
nave been practically as successful as
nave the college stars. Leaving them
out Of the comparisons would be invit-
ing argument.
howard Berry, the brilliant fullbackI
OF the Pennsylvania University eleven,
probably stanUs out as the best man OF
all-around ability. Strupper OF Georgia
Tech undoubtedly ranks with the best
backfield men i'll the country. Robeson
OF Rutgers is another deserving OF men
tion.
AS far as the champions, they amount
to about puff of wind, for the teams
have ignored chance TO get together
and settle their supremacy arguments.
Georgia Tech doubtless Will claim the
title, and so will Pittsburgh. Ohio State
will horn into the argument also, with
plenty of supporters to back the claims
of Rutgers.
