training system of three hours a week

Percy Haughton, president of the
Braves, is credited with desire to es-
tablish a better balance in baseball,
equslizing the defense and offense. Most
magnates are more concerned in i'm.
proving the balance on their financial
returns.
Because the Dartmouth intercollegiate
teams have been winning consistently
during the past 25 years from other
colleges in the New England Intereol-
legiate Athletic association, having been
beaten but three or four times, the sth-
letic council finally decided and voted
to withdraw from the association If the
other colleges in the association would
except their resignation. 1t was ae-
ceptcd BY the student body. II is
thought that yarmouth clearly outranks
her rivals, and that the move will prove
to be the best thing for the colleges.

One OF the greatest troubles of the
anthracite mining companies is what
they may do to keep the mines in con-
slant operation. We do not burn coal for
three or four months in summer, the
mines must be operated, and they have
offered us a 50-cent reduction in price to
persuade us to put the coal in our yards.
The retail distributing agent has passed
that reduction in price along to you with

Then and Now.

Prophecy about what may, or may
not, happen next in the great war is al
uncertain as speculation in war bride
stocks. AT this distance, inference from
the cabled reports of operations is uncer'
tain. Yet the fact remains that in many
war theatres operations appear TO lack
the activity which has marked them in
other winters since the beginning of hos
| tilities. The Teuton drive through Ru-
mania continues and extends beyond the
Rumanisn border, to be sure; but on
other fronts there has been compar-
ative lull. Bombardments, trench raids.
even some assaults in considerable force
are reported, but there has been little
heavy ighting-as heavy fighting has
come to be rated-since the German

tonic coming tower
At this time, il is interesting to com
pare, briefly, the situation as it existed
at the beginning of 1916 and the situa.
ton as it is to-day Says a writer in
the New York Times:
"A year ago Germany was just com
pleting the occupation of Serbia and
Montenegro, the allies Gallipoli excur-
sion doomed large as failure, and the
Anglc- Indian expedition against Bag.
dad was threatened with disaster. On
the other hand, Russia was rapidly pen
etrating Asiatic Turkey, and the last
of Germany.s oversee possessions were
being absorbed by her enc
mics. On the western front, with most
of Belgium and northern France; on the
eastern, with Russian Poland and some
areas of Russian governments in Ger
man possession, there was no sign, but
the allies were in process of modifying
their material and man power and in
their direction of the war"
The allied council in Rome Just CON
'luded, may mean further steps in mo- |
and perfecting coordination of

sources that its results in these direc-
ions will soon be evident. 1t is entire |
Y possible of course, that this announce
nent is to be taken at face value, and 1
hat likewise the kaiser's statement that 1
he war will go on is TO be regarded in
he same way, and, indeed, the prepond-
rance of evidence seems to be that both
hould be so accepted; yet the possibil-
y exists, too, if not the probability,
hat here we are being treated TO mag
ifieent bluffs In the west, in spite of
'erdun and the Somme, the situation in
January, 1917, is not vastly different
rom the situation in January, 1915 In

much to say that in this war tho German Government, seemingly with the hearty backing of the German people, has praotised and prided itself upon practising the most revolting and scientific sys- tenn of savagery that it is possible to imagine.
 The leaders of Germany today, the men who are followed by the great bulk of the German people, pride themselves upon having turned Germany into a nation which practises this scientific sav- agery. They take from civiliza- ton only the things which enable them to devise efficient instru- ments of torture and destruction; and they revive. out of what we hoped was the dead and gone barr barism of the dark ages. those qualities of heart and soul which makes these scientific instruments in their hands deadly menace to humanity. They used the re- sources of science precisely as an oldtime Apache used a rifie-as a weapon more efficient than his former savage weapon, and to pc used with more than the cld-tlme ruthless savagery

VOICE RUINED, SHE
 SUES FOR $25O,OO0
Lillian A. Underhill Learned Her
 Marriage Was Void

New York, Aug. 22.-A curious
 state of matrimonial entanglement is revealed in a breach of promise ac-
 tion for $250,0O0 damages begun in
 the supreme court by Lillian A. Un-
 derhill against Washington Burton,
 manufacturer of f1avoring extracts. At
 one time Miss Underhill. who is a
 singer, says she believed herself to
 be Mrs. Burton because of a cere-
 mony performed in New Jersey by a
 clergyman. Later, she says, she
 learned that a divorce obtained by
 the manufacturer in previous mar
 riage was invalid, and then she had
 her own marriage annulled.
 In May, 1912. Miss Underhill de-
 clares the defendant promised to
 marry her. He had been married
 three times previously, she declares.
 but was supposed to have obtained a decree of divorce in South Dakota in his last venture on the grounds of cruelty and abandonment. A marriage license was taken out on September 4, 1912, the plaintiff alleges, and the singer went with the defendant to 3, pastor, who performed a ceremony.
 The plaintiff declares she spent
 S2OOO on her rousseau, and lived with the manufacturer, in New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Mexico, Por-
 to Rico and elsewhere, believing her
 self to be the rightful Mrs. Burton. After living together as man and wife until June 25. 1913. Miss Un- derhill alleges MT. Burton informed her their marriage was null and void because the South Dakota divorce was invalid in New Jersey.
 Proceedings were begun later by 1 Miss Underhill in New York to have the New Jersey ceremony annulled, and on April 21, 1914, Justice Blan- her application. After the annulment action the singer sued the manufac- turer for the value of 215 shares of 1 the Burton company stock she alleges had been given to her by the defen- dant and entrusted by her to his care In that action she received a ! verdict of $2,500. l The plaintiff in her complaint states that she was impelled to purchase a l costly trousseau by a realization of the social position she would assume l through becoming Mrs. Burton. and 1 that she now has lost all prospect of Isharing in the estate of the defen. dant and occupying the social posi-
 ton to which his wealth and station would entitle her.
 Prior to her ma rriage, Miss Under hill says, she earned a large income from singing, but as result of the ] keen humiliation and mental anguish she suffered her ability to sing has I been destroyed.

had been many instances of individual heroism, striking case being that of the chaplain who gave his life while working among the men he loved. They tried to keep him back, but he had been with them in Ginchy and at other struggles and he would not de- sert his boys now, so he continued to work on the shell-torn, bullet-swept field, his kindly face beaming beside some wounded man, now beside an- other who was dying
 It was while he was kneeling to give absolution to some badly wounded man that 8 German shell broke near him and he was killed. It was a great loss to the Irish troops and his name was spoken with tears by those left behind.

VETERANS WILDLY
 CHEER WAR SPEECH
Shout and Wave Flags When ' Commander Patterson Talks

Boston, Aug. 22.-William J. Pat terson of Pittsburgh, command -in- chief of the Grand Army of Republic, speaking today at the opening session of the encampment aroused the great est enthusiasm by declaring that America had drawn the sword in fav- or of the oppressed people of Europe who had appealed for help. The con- vention hall rang with war time shouts as the veterans rose to their feet, waved battle torn flags and cheered wildly every reference by their leader to the unselfish motive which had prompted the United States to enter the struggle for the freedom of the world and without hope or thought of reward.
 Except for the physical training of the men, this nation was never better prepared for 8 great war; Commander Patterson said. '"The people of the whole country are thor oughly loyal and devoted to the flag. ' Our one time enemies through the vsouth express unqualified loyalty to the nation, and in the war confront ing us the men of the north and the men of the south will be found marching shoulder to shoulder in de- fense of humanity and of the rights of the American union."
 Discussing the causes which led to American participation in the war, Commander Patterson said that while the American people were reluctant to do so the force of circumstances was irresistible. "The continued and increasing insolence of the imperial German government could no longer be tolerated" he declared. Its vio- lation of solemn pledges. it's army of plotting spies scattered throughout Ahe lands, it's schemes to destroy workshops and create strikes, it's in- trigues to stir up insurrections among our own people and provoke hostility in neighboring nations had reached a point where forbearance had ceased to be a virtue.
 When notice came to us that the Ssolemn pledge of Germany was to be raised and the indiscriminate and ruthless submarine warfare resumed, the only course left for this govern ment was to sever diplomatic rela- tions with that empire"
 Immediately, he said, as command er-in-chief of the G. A. R., he tele- graphed President Wilson that the Grand Army of the Republic heartily Supported his stand for neutral rights of Americans to the free use of the open seas.
 Later in Washington" MT. Pat terson said, 1T called at the White House to reiterate in person what had been declared by wire. President Wilson expressed his pleasure at our prompt endorsement of his course. .. remarking that he and the whole country knew without any assurances how the Grand Army of the Republic stood on all patriotic questions and that no one had any doubt as to how that organization stood in the present crisis.
 And so today our lives. our prop- erty and our sacred honor are pledged In support of liberty in the titanic struggle now waged between autoc- Iacy and democrary."
