! Following the singing of America, and
I prayer, detail of nine khaki-clad men
from the College Training Corps
marched up to the chancel of the chapel
headed by Captain Harrison n, with
Color Sergeant Edmunds, 'l8, bearing
the new flag, President Thomas re-
ceived it and placed it near the pulpit.
When the colors entered all rose, and
when it had been placed in position by
the chancel rail repeated in concert the
Salute to the Colors,
The military hand salute was ex-
ecuted in perfect unison, and the Star
Spangled Banner was sung, DR., Thomas
in accepting the flag spoke feelingly Of
the record the college had in the Civil
War and of the duty which might con-
front the present generation of students,
both men and women,
1.-THE first colors worn out of Middle
bury in 1861 were worn by a Middle

"Of the siXty-one Vermont officers
brevetted for meritorious service in the
Civil War, four were Middlebury men,
which was a remarkable record consider
ing that the entire college then did not
number more than rs men. They were
+. H. Higley, '68, Lyman Il. Knapp,
so, Col James M. Warner, '5S, and
Aldace f, Walker, 49,"
The latter DR.. Thomas added, was
Lieutenant Colonela at Shenandoah, com
handing a regiment when he was %
years old The record of the others
was also sketched. II will trust you to
sustain this record, DR.. Thomas said,
and urged that if a call for men came
that the College might ia some manner
stand as a unit; that the men would not
scatter, but hold together in some com
mon service.
Congressman Frank l.. Greene, Col.
Ira l.. Reeves and the Rev. Arthur F.,
Bradford sent notes Of regret at their
forced absence. Professor McGiton
was the concluding speaker, telling of
the history of the patriotic hymn,
America. "

cellent Fathers and Sons Banquet which

toast of What, a Boy Wants His
Father to Do, to which he responded
in commendabe manner, calling for
the fathers to understand their boys
back up their help with character, and
to be chums with them.
The other side of the subject, ."What

considered by Prof. Mcfarland of Mid

Labrador life when he eXhorted the
boys to carry boys full load" and by

OUR COUNTRY.

This is the country of our birth, the fairest land on all the earth. Here freedom is a living thing, no fake invented by a king. No galling yokes are on our backs, we groan beneath no unjust tax, the government is all our own and not the ukase from a throne. The great re- public of the west! The haven of the worlds oppressed, the vital text of all who plan a world wide brotherhood of man, America! Ten million eyes are grazing where her banner flies, and countless hearts forever more make plans to reach the freeman's shore. Besides the Gangers' sullen flow, and by the winding, storied Pc, wherever men are tired and worn, where ever heartsick toilers mourn, wherever life is sad and gray, the eyes of thousands turn this way. And that their eyes may to us turn, and that our beaconS still may burn, informing all upon this sphere that freedoms still existing here, we take once more the sword and brand to battle for our native land. For freedom, in the peoples sight, if we surrendered what is rig ht, would be as dark and foul thing as though invented by a king. Walt Mason.

formance of one of the highest of patriotic duties.
 There is not, in any real sense, any remuneration. Be- cause thousands of citizens urg- ed members of local boards should not be placed in a posi- tion of performing their grave duties for pay, the regulations provide that ordinarily, the ser vice shall be uncompensated. Because it was not desired that any maa be prevented from ren- dering the service by the neces- sity for earning his daily bread, a small remuneration was pro- vided.
 The nation needs men and needs them quickly. The hours will then be long and the work absorbing. The duty is always to take and never to give, and human nature is snch there will be little praise and some blame. The sacrifice of many of those whose characters are to be de- sired is no greater than that of men who are to decide them and your only reward must be the knowledge that at great person. al sacrifice. you are rendering your country an indispensable service in matter of utmost mement."

22OO Cooks and Bakers Wanted.

Twenty two hundred men are wanted in the army for duties which do not involve great deal of peril. They are wanted for cooks and bakers, according to the following orders from the adjutant general received at the recruiting office in Phoenix.
 In order that the training of bakers and cooks for the in creased forces may be started at once it is requested that 17OO privateS to be trained as bakers and 500 to be trained as cooks be transferred to the quarter masters corps at once.
 These should as far as possi- ble be from men who have had experience as cooks or bakers in the army or in civil life. If not, they should be men of good phy- sique, strong and robust, who are willing to be trained as bak- CTS and cooks.

ADJUTANT GEN. HARRIS FIRED.

The removal of Adjutant Gen. eral Charles w. Harris of the Arizona National Guard, was sought last Saturday, by Gov ernor Campbell in the following letter addressed to Col. Harris:
 Colonel Charles w. Harris, adjutant general of Arizona, state house, Phoenix. Sir: Your resignation as adjutant general of Arizona, effective August 1, 1917, is hereby requested. You will turn over all state property under your Jurisdiction to Capt. Oscar F. Temple, who will be instructed to receipt for the same. Sincerely, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona.
 The only statement made by Governor Campbell with refer ence to the letter requesting the resignation of Colonel Harris was that after August 6, when the entire national guard will be in the federal service, there will be no duty for the adjutant gen. eral to perform. If later Ariz- ona should be called upon to raise another regiment of state troops, I shall want another ad- jutant general"
 The action of the governor is said to have. been precipitated by certain reports which the ad- jutant general has made regard ing the strike situation and which have been characterized by the governor as "seditious."
