Virtually all of the student aviators
at the Princeton camp take their
meals in the dining hall at the same
time. Six hundred Princeton college
students eat at the same place. If the

WOMEN MAKE GOOD SOLDIERS
Pound for Pound, the Average Fe-
male Can Stand as Much
as Average Man.

Cambridge, Mass. - Pound for
pound, the average normal woman in
good health can endure more pain,
discomfort and fatigue, and can ex-
pend more muscular energy than the
average normal man Of similar condi-
tion," declared DR., Dudley A. Sar-
gent at Harvard in emphasizing the
fact that women should make every
whit as good soldiers as men.
Woman Of necessity comes nearer
the primitive type than man. She Is
biologically more of savage, more of
a barbarian, and she has therefore
greater physical endurance. She can
undergo many strains a man cannot.
'Withstanding cold, or thirst, or
hunger, or physical privation Of any
sort, woman can outlast man. Nine
times out Of 10 woman, from the
standpoint of physical endurance,
should make as good soldier as
man"

TO lombard GERMAN CITIES
Long Deferred ReprIsals Threatened
Because Of Continuing TeutonIc

London.-Sir Auckland Geddes,
minister Of national service, in =
speech delivered at Nottingham, pre-
dicted that the grim work of bombing

The Hague.-It is reported that
Chancellor Michaelis must go and the
question lie now being freely discussed
IN the German press.
The Vorwaerts observes that the
kaiser was badly advised when Mi.
chaelis was appointed, but that he
was the only possible man in the
kaiser's encourage. It declares that
the next chancellor must not be che.
sen by the kaiser or by the court, but
the reichstag. and that the kaiser is
greatly mistaken II he imagines the
reiChBtag is going to be satisfied with
his manner Of appointing chancellors.
The Volkstimme talks Of an impos-
sible government, saying that the
chancellor has left an impression of
distrust and depression instead Of
strength, The paper says the only rea-
son Michaelis was not Immediately
unseated was that other parties did
not want to give Secessionist Social
lists triumph.
The Essener General Anzeiger says
the chancellor has quite decided to re-
tire and that Prince Won Buelow and
Admiral Won Tirpitz are likely candi-
dates.
The official Koelnische Zeitung
states that Admiral Won Capelle was
not acting in accord with the chancel-
lor when the disclosures of the naval
mutiny were made.
This may, however, be means Of
making Won Capelle a scapegoat In
the hope of saving Michaelis.

the cause is that travelling has be-

Obituary..

Genevieve Chambers, daughter of
o. c. and Carrie Chambers, was born
in Fairbury, Neb., November 16, 1909,
and died in her home in Emmett, jan
uary 25, 1917, age years, 2 months,
9 days. Genevieve was of bright
sunny disposition, making friends
with those she met and wherever she
went. Thoughtful beyond one of her
years. She was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal sabbath school
and was always in her place, attentive
to the truths being taught. On jan
uary 7 she was taken sick, not serious
at first, and all hoped for recovery.
The best medical skill was secured
and careful nursing was employed,
but all was of no avail. God had
need of her and sent his angel to
bring her from the earth home to one
so bright and fair. Sometime ago
she climbed on her mothers knee, and
placing her arms about her mother
neck said, "O' l love you and papa
so much, but l love God more" She
is enjoying the presence of HIM she
had learned to love and adore. A life
so brief has come to a close, and we
cannot see why it should be, but In
the language of the poet say
If we could push afar the gates of life
And stand within, and all Gods
workings see,
We could endure all doubt and STRIFE
And for each mystery find key.
But not today. Then be content, poor
heart:
Gods plans like lilies pure and
white unfold
We must not push their close-shut
leaves apart,
Time will reveal their calyXes of
gold.
And if by patient toll we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals
loosed may rest,
Where we shall clearly see and un-
derStand
I think that we will say our God
knew best.
She leaves beside the parents, a
little sister and many relatives and
friends to mourn. But we expect to
see her again in the "sweet bye and
bve." The funeral took place from
the Methodist Episcopal Church, con-
Quoted by the pastor, and was very
largely attended.
