CORNERSTONE Laid
At YALE COLLEGE
Presidents Answer to Pope
Is Placed in 1t, Also
Liberty Bond.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 9.--In the
presence of a large gathering of uni
versity and municipal officers, faculty
members and alumni the cornerstone
Of the Memorial Quadrangle was laid
today at Yale university at the cor
ner of High and Library streets.
The Memorial Quadrangle will be
group of buildings given by Mrs
stephen V. Hardness as a memorial
to her son, Charles W. Hardness. of
the class of 's3. The group will be
Gothic style, with enough dormi-
tories to accommodate the entire
junior and senior classes, and its ac-
complishment probably will be the
largest single building operation
undertaken by any educational insti-
tuition in this country.
The exercises at the cornerstone in
cluded invocation by the Rev. DR..
Charles H. Brown, pastor of the
Church of Christ Yale university, the
memorial address on Charles w.
Hardness, by Horace D. Taft of the
class of 'S3; the placing of the stone
by Edward S. Hardness, of the class
Of '97, brother of Charles w. Hark-
ness and the acceptance of the quad
rangle by Arthur T. Hadley, presi-
dent Of the Yale. Among the OBJ
jects placed on the cornerstone was
copy of President Wilson's reply to
Pope Benedict. Another object of
contemporary interest that went with
it was Liberty Bond poster.
A coincidence in the laying of this
cornerstone was the fact that exactly
two hundred years ago the first
building was started for Yale college
on the New Haven campus.
Mr.. Hadley lin his address. said
that university is something more
than a school or a group of schools.
It is a complex of tradition and in
fluences; of sentiments inherited from
the past and aspirations reaching out
into the future.

When she asked him to cease the con-

VAST AERO BATTLES
Depicts Gigantic Plan of Z. S. Aero
Corps Against Germans.

Washington, June 15.-Air battles
on vastly greater scale than yet heard
of in the war and which American
aviators will figure. was forecast to-
day by Gen. George owens Squire,
chief of the army signal corps, and
Howard Coffin, chairman of the air
craft production board of the Council
of National Defense.
''Droves of American aeroplanes
sweeping the Germans from the skies
raiding and destroying their military
camps and infiicting frightful destruc-
ton on the enemy" was the hope ex-
pressed by General Squire in support
of his request for $500, 100000 from
congress for aeroplanes and equip
ment.
Germany expects to bring $500
aeroplanes into the fight next spring"
Coffin declared, quoting a Paris dis
patch. This might well prove dis
couraging to the allies. We should
furnish tho / the necessary number of
airmen to drive all hostile machines to
tbs ground and carry out the bomb
ing as well as the observation work
unhindered.
Our plan contemplatees maintain
ing constant raiding patrol over the
territory for fifty miles back of the
fighting line"
