The success Of an athletic organi-
cation in schools is not very gener-
ally given serious consideration by
the community generally. but t
does, in fact, mean quite bit, not
only for the athletes themselves. but
for the institution which they repre-
sent. A hard-won, clean victory. or
a gallant fight even in defeat, means
that the athletes have been trained
to that method, and it is the tram
ing which reflects credit upon the
school. The school which can boast
of athletes who play hard, fast and
clean is requiring those traits Of
application in every branch. Rec
commend that school.

that he will intern said pro-Ger-

of the battle front-in the Ancre re-

now total 30,3ii apparently exclusive of
the 10000 credited to Humbert.

repulsed near Merville.

borrow on short notes is limited In
the face Of added expenses which this
and other awards OF needed and fair
compensation TO their employees VIII
involve, such credit will completely
disappear. Bankruptcy, recei erships
and Generalization, with failure OF

Hence our urgent recommendation
on this head
"1hts company is now required to
furnish to the Public Utility Commits
sion a statement of It's earnings under
the present rates Of fare. We believe
thai such reports will demonstrate the
necessity Of a further increase In the
rate Of fare, and In that event we feel
that the public should, in the language
OF the National War Lab Board, +Iy

form their duties with the highest de-
gree Of loyalty and efficiency"
