COLUMBIA LOSES TWO VETS.

i Columbia lost two of it's varsity Football players yesterday, one of them permanently. Archie Brin, the New York University centre year ago, who was destined to play that position on the Columbia eleven, was declared ineligible for admission to the Students Army Training Corps and was therefore forced to leave the football squad.
 Frank Canapery, halfback of the Blue and White team of last year, who returned to the campus Monday. af- ter having started for the South, was reported confined to his room with Spanish influenza. He will probably not be able to play for week or ten days. --
 Brin's loss is a serious one, for Coach Fred Dawson had planned to use him at centre, and in practice last week he had made a good impression. His place will probably be taken by Kin nenger, who has been in that posi- ton since the start of the week. Can. apery's position at right halfback wai filled yesterday by Urls.
 
 and Brin, which necessitated a change in the lineup of his tentative varsit! team, Dawson made two more shifts He put F'orsythe, an end, and Daly, : halfback, in the first eleven as re suit of their fine work in the inter battalion game last Saturday.
 Forsythe, was assigned to left ant Daly went to left halfback. Botl showed up we'll in the long sigma drill that constituted the days work out. They will face 8 real tes when the varsity and scrub team line up in scrimmage this after noon.
 The varsity team, as selected b Dawson, will line up as follows Forsythe, left end; Tomberg, let tackle; Mattarello, left guard; Kin nenger, centre; Kraus, right guard Robinson, right tackle; Parks, rign end; Shaw, quarterback; Daily, lei halfback; Urls, right halfback; Zych lInski, fullback.

Henry Howard. OF seafaring ances-
try, Mr.. Howard has long wished
for the return of the American mer-
chant marine-it has been his hobby;
and so it came to pass that the United
States had hardly more than begun
the turning of her huge wheels of ma
chinery which were to crush out au-
tocracy- before Mr.. Howard came to
Washington to consult with officials
of the newly established shipping
board. He came with plan for train
ing men to sail the ships which were
going to play so important a part in
the winning of the war.
Not for nothing had he dreamed of
the return of American merchantmen.
for he laid before the shipping board
fully matured plan whereby men
could be trained and made capable
of sailing the ships being builded.
The result was that Mr.. Howard was
appointed director of the recruiting
service, with headquarters at Boston.
And no sooner had Mr.. Howard been
given his appointment than he set
about accomplishing actual results.
At Gloucester, Mass, free school
of navigation was opened, and at
Cambridge, Mass, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology inaugurated
free course in marine engineering.
Only seamen who desired to fit them
selevs for officers were admitted to
these courses. Whatever of fear may
have been felt as to the difficulty of
merchant marine vanished with the
establishment of these first two
schools. Not only were enrollments
so numerous that students could not
all be accommodated, but also the men
who took up the courses were so sue
cessful in obtaining certificates that
other schools were opened as soon
as possible.

conscience is not satisfied, for I feel
that I should don a uniform and be
of greater service. OF course, as you
know, 1 am in class A of the draft,
but 1 have the feeling of all true
Americans, that 1 am not doing
enough, and, being constantly in the
public eye, am quite often asked,
why aren't you with the boys over
there" 1t is almost more than can
stand. If we county agents could
only be commissioned and wear the
uniform we would not be subject to
such humiliation. If volunteering as
private is all I can do I'm going to
do that, though 1 have a wife and
child to support. Please write me
soon, advising me-
Another letter, from a very happy
county agent who has at last arrived
at definite stage in the confusion,
is brief enough to quote in full This
is of even a later date:
Il am at last the most contented
man you have seen. Absolutely moth
ing to do but prepare to kill Huns.
What is more pleasant than to be in
the Army and know that have begun
to become fit to fight the German par
asites, then to come back later and
help develop the community spirit in
rural America? 1t Is my duty to go
over there and cast my lot in eradi-
eating this parasitic enemy. May I

adapted for training the students
thoroughly, yet in the short time nee
essary to the completion of the course
in six weeks, have been prepared.
They deal with seamanship in all it's
branches. Printed leaflets also mi

|. Since the Calvin Austin went into
commission nearly 400 graduate sea-
men have been sent into merchant
ships. and not a single bad report has
come back to the shipping board re-
garding the intelligent performance
of their duty. In addition to this, sew
eral of the boys who served their APP
premiership on the Calvin Austin
have since passed examinations grant
ing them certificates as engineers.
A proportionately large number OF
graduates have been turned out by
the other training ships in service for
any length of time. Land schools for
navigators and engineers have also
been largely attended, more than
1000 students having been enrolled,
of which a considerable per cent have
already received their certificates and
are at sea.
AS official chanty instructor is Stan
ton II. King, whose duty 1t is to re-
vive the ancient custom among sailor
men of singing while they worked
Mr.. King is an "old salt" himself,
having gotten his experience in sea-
manship and his love of sea chanties
on Yankee ships forty years ago. Con-
sidered the best chanty singer in this
country. Mr.. King has been singing
these old songs of the sea for years in
a Boston mission, and not only can he
teach the new idea" the words, but
also he can put the punch" into
them-which was so important a
point in the "old days"

things" said Mr.. Knapp. 1--WE hear
so much admonition on the subject
of potatoes. In the fifteen states of
the south over which 1 have direc-
tion- Irish potatoes increased from
100000 bushels to 6S,000,0OO, in
round numbers. Sweet potatoes in
1915 had yield in this section of
65,000.000 bushels. and in 1917 the
farmers gathered in 100000 900 bush
els. The acreage in one kind of beans
increased close to 200 per cent, permits
increased almost 100 per cent, while
garden, fruit and other crops of SINH
lar nature increased by several hum
dred per cent.
1.-THE agents employed in 1917 an
emergency enrolment OF about g.
100000 women and girls, who under
took to raise gardens and especially
to can and preserve for future use.
No written reports were received
from many on this emergency en-
rollment, but a very conservative es-
innate of the results obtained is that

knew something of farm life, sagely
whispered to him to list himself as a
scientific farmer-that 1t would BAN
ish forever the phantom of the dread
mines and give the American prisoner
something of an official rank with the
admiring Germans. Wisdom, this
and the boy from Indiana, Iowa or,
maybe, Texas, was commanded to take
charge of potato production in a cer-
tain part of the enemy's land.
The bureau of animal industry has
been the heaviest loser in point of
numbers of men leaving the Depart
ment of Agriculture for various rea-
sons. The forestry service has lost
several hundred, and the bureau Of
chemistry, plant industry and the
weather bureau follow, with oonsid-
cradle percentage. But in the face of
the constant call for the yield of
backyard gardens and bigger gar
dens than city people ever saw, of
growing grain and grits and all sorts
of what the soldier calls grub" the
extension work OF the department
may be said to be facing disappoint-
ment.

The Hungry Hun.

MR. A. N. DAVIS, the kaiser's Amer
W lean dentist, said on his return
to New York:
Germany is starving to death. One
day, in the hope OF getting a square
meal, I went out into the country to
a village that some one had told me
was still well stocked with provisions.
1 selected the best looking inn to be
seen. entered the place and said to q
lean boy who was in attendance:
my boy. bring me a stein of beer
and a brace of sausages-a brace of
those large, succulent, appetizing
that Germany is justly fa-
nous for
Here 1 rubbed my hands and
chuckled.
"'You know. my boy, I went on,
you know the kind of sausages I
mean. 1 mean frankfurter sausages,
great, steaming, juicy, savory frank
furter sausages. Hurry up now. One
brace
"The boy licked his chops, gulped
solemnly and disappeared. He re-
turned empty-handed. 1 gave him an
inquiring look and he said:
Father told me to tell you that
If he had any sausages like you want
he'd eat em himself"
