/ There is much speculation tonish'
over the possible connection between

victory and the present operations In
Flanders, in which the French ana
British again are forging ahead. IL
is certain that the government has at
its disposal reports on conditions

tached to the premier's words.
Teutons Prepare for Bad News.
The German people already are pc
ing prepared for bad news from
Flanders. Semi official warnings are
contained in the press that the pat
losses must be faced"
Other dispatches assert the Ger

Considerable significance Is at
tached here to the Vienna conference
between Emperor Charles and Mich

ed to report to the kaiser tomorrow.
Reports are persistent that Austria IL
smarting under the German military
yoke and is anxious for peace at any
reasonable price.
One outErowth OF the present
peace discussion which would cause
no surprise would be statements from
both camps of amended terms. The
opinion prevails in some high quar-
tiers that President Wilson might
open the way for such declarations

In these strenuous times, when we
hear war appeals on every side, it is
natural for us to ask, "In what way
can the students help win the war;"
Some of the high school boys have
their names on the roll of honor
some are going soon. Many true
American boys are working after
school and on Saturdays in the har-
vest fields. The girls are knitting
and rolling bandages; some girls are
making cheer boxes to add courage
and strength to the boys. A great
number of boys and girls are putting
stamps on their magazines and send
ing them on somewhere"
But let us consider in what other
ways it is possible to aid. We have
learned by sad experience that con-
servation begins in the kitchen. Be
happy when oatmeal is served when
you had expected Cream Of Wheat;
remember that rice pudding is as de-
licious a dainty as rich pie with two
wheat crusts. We Americans invent
ed pie and have been fiourishing in
its manufacture. In the case of SUI
gar, we must actually save. One
spoonful of sugar dissolved in drink

is Just as sweet as two in the bottom
of the cup. 1t comes closest to us,
perhaps, in our denial of chocolates.
During the noon hour and during our
idle moments and on our walks, we
enjoy a nibble, and maybe more, Of
sweets, for we all have sweet tooth.
After suggesting to a student fruit
for candy, she said, "Why, l can't
walk along the street eating an APP
ple". This is where the trouble comes
we have not learned self-denial. Our
magazines are telling us that our chill

Much interest has been taken in
basketball, this year, by many OF the

should be given the coach since he

as possible and we are sure Of a good

day and Saturday. The team will be

The Mathematics club met last
Wednesday evening dec. 81. The
meeting was called to order by the
president, Albert Augerot. Nile
Kneeland and Harley Burns read an
ENJOYABLE paper, containing jokes
and current events. Mr.. Rindom gave
the club an interesting talk on Math,
ematics and the War. 1t was decided
upon to change the time of meeting
from 1880 to 900 to 500 to 300
and several were voted into the So
ciety. After the program, twenty
/ minutes were given to playing games
in keeping with mathematics, ant
then refreshments were served. The
interest in the club is growing and Il
promises to be a success.
