The heavy expenditures in foot ball
We're due in a great measure to poor
management. Only comparatively
small squad was outfitted and but five
games We're played. and one of these
games was big financial success.
Surely that combination ought not to
have necessitated an outlay of more
than $4,000
Incidentally the deficit of more than
$500 for basket ball. especially for the
kind of schedule played, should be
convincing argument for the Hatchet-
ties to enter a local intercollegiate
league just as soon as they take up
sports again. if they ever do.
Gallaudets base ball team is sched
uled to play tomorrow. Rock Hill being
down to pay visit to Kendall Green.
The Kendall Greeners. with the kind of
his best, ought to prove the superior

Allan Thurman, ashingtonian,
will captain the University of Virginia
base ball team next year. Thurman was
elected to the position at the annual
banquet to the squad, held at Char
lottesville yesterday. He has played
first base, and this season. until the
schedule was called off, was leading the
team in hitting. with a percentage OF
more than 500. Thurman has been the
star guard and punter at Virginia for
two years, but last fall began foot bail
little. late. because he was unable to
get home from France, where he was
in an ambulance corps. Besides foot
ball and base ball, Thurman has won
his "" in track.
1t is announced at Virginia that the
schedules for next year will be taken
up and carried out. unless unforeseen
conditions prevent. Authorities at the
university now are making plans to carry
out everything as per previous schedule.

The highest set rolled in the four
matches was obtained by Brown of the
Washington Centennial five. His total

The official said the authorities had

had communicated to Lindley NJ. Car

Americas armies will be made up
of the finest physical manhood of

Army surgeons today estimated
that nearly 40 per cent of the men
brought to the colors by selective
draft will be rejected upon the first
physical scrutiny, so severe are the
exam in tons Nearly 100000
must be drawn to get the 625,0 900
for the first levy. At present the
reflections in the regular army aver
ages 40 to 60 per cent of the ap-
plicants.
The War Department has decided
to uphold the stringent physical re-
uuirements for the new selective
draft armies. Only men with
sound bodies and in good health
viii! be chosen from the 5000, 900
or more available.
After undergoing the severe ex-
amina'ions imposed by the army
surgeons, the chosen ones will
form the best army physically in
the word. In no other army are
the physical requirments so hard to
meet. Even Germany's Wanted
armies are picked on less stringent
scale of requirements.
The thorough examination usual
ly consumes more than an hour.

men," said an official of the
medical Corps. "That's why we
will win--we've got the most and

Chinese Labor for English Plants.

British consuls in Shantung province

4 GENERAL SURVEY Of
The WAR
MONDAY.

Developments of importance appar-
emily are impending "a the Macedoni-
an front. following the abdicatlon OF
King Constantine. The most pro
nounced movement is withdrawal py
the British, without pressure, OF their
advanced positions established some
distance east of the Struma river, on
the extreme easterly end of the front.
Several towns have been evacuated by
them and occupied by the Bulgarians.
Both the Russian army and the Rus
sian navy are giving more evidence OF
aggressive intent.
In the Arras area the British were
subjected to a heavy counter attack
on the position they won Thursday
east of Monchy lie Preux. They held
fast to- the main point. the important
Infantry Hill, but had to fall back
from some positions they had estab-
lished farther in advance, London
says.

SUFFICIENT FOOD FOR BEES
Every Colony Should Have at Least
Thirty Pounds of Honey-White
Glover Is Favored.

Sufficient food is essential. Every
colony should have at least 30 pounds
of honey. White clover honey is best,
although any white honey is good.
Dark honey should be used sparingly;
and honeydew honey not at all, on &C.
count of the waste it contains. Bees
never deposit fecal waste in the hive,
but retain it in the large intestine,
where it causes dysentery unless soon
passed out. In attempting to rid them
selves of this, the bees fly forth on
cold days, become chilled and never
find their way back.

The cheapest eating in the world Is
rice and peanuts, measured by the
calories, which constitute the only real
test. The former costs 5 cents per
1000 calories and the latter Z cents.
So that, if a person would eat good
helping of rice and wind up by plen-
tiful dessert Of peanuts, he would get
more muscle, brain, nerve and bone out
of it than he would out of a diet of
roast beef and potatoes. There Is no
attention paid to the value Of food in
practical living. Our sole guide is
what hits our appetite. We want what
"we'd ruther," as the poor woman told
Jane Adams. 1t is going in and buy
ing potatoes by the pile, without re-
gard to the bushels or pecks. There is
twice as much living in some kinds Of
foods as in others, and yet we pass up
our plate perfectly unconcerned
whether it comes back with 500 or l.
600 calories. That is one reason we
are poor.-Columbu CO., Journal.

THURSDAY.

Heavy fighting is in progress on the
Aisne front. Here the French arc
entrenched in favorable positions al.
ter their advances in the spring. The
Germans apparently have been heavily
reinforced in this sector by men
brought from the Russian front. One
such division was sent into the fight
directly after its arrival, making an
attack between the Allette river and
the Laffaux mill.
The assault while along a front o.
apparently less than a mile, was CT ex-
trsme1y violent character. The FRENCH
stopped the German rush, suffering
only a slight penetration of their first
line trench aggregating between 600
and 700 yards, Paris reports.
Berlin's report on the attack asserts
the capture of more than 1900 yards

The Patriotism Of
The American Press

The service rendered to the
Government of the United States
in the sale of the Liberty Lean
Bonds of 1917 by the press OF the
country is record evidence of the
generous patriotism of the news
paper men of America. 1t is re-
corded in the pages of thousands of
American q ewspapers many OF them
printed in foreign languages, from
the largest daily to the smallest
country weekly. The newspapers
Of the country "came across" with
liberal donations of space in news,
editorial, and advertising columns.
Newspaper men have observed
with deep and peculiar pleasure the
whole-hearted activity of the men
of their fraternity in te country
in promoting the sale of the Liberty
Loan Bonds. The influence and
assistance of all publications in
making the loan success are
simply incalculable. Their efforts
greatly contributed to making it a
double success in that it was not
only largely oversubscribed but the
Liberty Loan Bonds were placed in
every community in the United
states, in cities and in remote
country districts, in mining towns
and m lnufacturing centers, among
farmers and country merchants as
well as city bankers and large com
mercial and manufacturing houses
1t was great educational cam
paign. Readers of their county
paper in their country homes, and
new American citizens from papers
printed in their old language, and
others just learning our language,
whom the evening spelled out the
news in the great daily paper, were
Informed of the purposes and OBJ
jects of the Liberty Loan and in
structed in the nature, value, and
terms of Government bonds, especi-
ally the Liberty Loan Bonds OF
1917. The whole Nation has made
long stride forward in financial
education through the Liberty
Loan campaign of 1917 as con-
Quoted through the press of the
country.
The country press which without
compensation gave literally of its
limited space is equally deserving
of praise with the larger papers.
In their respective spheres all
classes of publications in the coun-
try covered their field thoroughly
and we'll. The press of America
can look back on the work it per-
formed for the Liberty Loan as a
great public service, ably, thorough
ly, and unselfshly performed

The engagement between French
and Germans, which was opened Wed
nesday by German attack near Vaux'
ailon, southeast of Loan, is being con
tinued by the artillery. The infantry
fighting has temporarily died down.
Paris reports an extension of the
artillery duel eastward from Vaux'
ailon. 1t was raging along front ap'
proximately ten miles as far as thu
vicinity of raye-en-Laonnois, reaching
what the official report characterizes
as extreme intensity"
The infantry battle, after cary sue
cesses for the crown prince, came to a
halt after his troops had lost virtually
everything they had gained. At least
so Paris says.

the scenes of active operations, but
official dispatches are lacking. Gen
