 Great Opportunities Exist
 The board, desiring to point out the opportunity afforded young men to obtain through technical train in, supplemented with a broad gen eral education at the State Uni versity, yesterday issued the follow ing statement:
 The mining companies of Ameri- ca, the prominent mining engineers and the various war advisory boards are urging young men of the country to continue their previous studies or to begin technical preparation in mining engineering, so that the com mercial and industrial life of the nation may go on without interrup- tion both now and after the close of the war.
 The war has already caused the withdrawal of many skilled and trained men from the mining, milling and metallurgical plants of the coun- try These places will have to be filled at once and none but trained men can be used to replace them. Under these conditions it is highly important for young men to prepare themselves to carry on this much needed work

FRESHMEN ON VARSITY TEAMS MEETING OPPOSITION.

Fred Murphy, one-time Yale football star, who now is coach at Northwestern, is unalterably oppos- ed to the proposition to let down the bars to freshmen on varsity teams Murphy holds that even with the war going on there are some coaches who would go to ex- tremes to recruit school-boy stars in order to strengthen their varsity teams.
 Murphy's argument is clear and to the point and handles the ques- tion from the proper angle. He says:
 ''The freshman rule has proved itself one of the best rules ever put on the books, doing away with a great many evils that were running athletics into disrepute. Let down the bars and the coach who does not tour the country proselyting high school athletics is going to be left completely in the lurch when the season opens.
 "Now, supposing we do go through the season under the pres ent rule, and granting that there will be dearth of old stars, it means that this season only will be subcalibre, for it is certain that if there are not many good men avail able, then surely ttere will be only small loss by graduation next June. Win the incoming freshmen available year hence we will then be back to pretty near normal again"

OUR FIRST WAR SONG.
II Was Written by Billings, 4 Tanner,
In Revolutionary Days.

II Was Written by Billings, 4 Tanner
In Revolutionary Days.
We have many patriotic songs in this
great country Of ours, but no great na-
tional war song. Who will be the one
to write IT. The first war song written
In America was really hymn and was
sung by the colonial troops during the
Revolutionary war. Ii was composed
and written by tanner named VIII
liam Billings, who lived In Boston.
This hymn, the first evidence Of dis
tinctly American music, has a ring
which not little sets out the spirit OF
1917. The first verse OF the war song
will indicate its general character:
Let tyrants shake their iron rod
And slav'ry clank her CALLING chains.
We fenr them not; we trust in God.
New England's God forevermore.
When Billings wrote his war song he
evidently thought that the most impor-
tant part Of the country was New Eng
land; otherwise he might have included
the whole land among those who trust
in God. This war song has been
brought to public attention by DIR. 81.

Bomb proppino Balloons.

The first bomb dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu.
tile. Balloons had been used in war as
early as the siege of Maubeuge by the
Austrians for observation purposes.
The first talk of bomb dropping was in
1872. when the Russians We're said to
have huge balloon for that purpose,
but nothing was done with it. In 1S47
however, the Austrians. when attack
ing Venice, sent up paper fire balloons,
which were to drop bombs into the
town. But they forgot TO allow for con-
trary air currents. The balloons got
into such current and. drifting back
over the Austrian lines, bombed then:
