URGED TO RETURN
President Thomas Tells Middlebufy
Men in Service How to Complete
Course after War.

Middlebury, Jan. 6.-President John NJ.
Thomas has sent to the undergraduates In
the service a letter in which he suggests
n method to insure the completion Of their
college course after the war.
The letter Is rs follows
ITO Middlebury Undergraduates In Army
and Navy:
II have been pleased to note the many
cordial messages which have come from
you to the college. both to the war service
committee and to others. l have been
particularly pleased that SO many have
said. It's Middlebury for me, just as soon
as the war is over 1t will certainly be a
great day for US when you all come back
and take your places in the old college
again.
II have thought we might help you pre-
pare for that glad day by Offering to open
back to college bank account. Any
money you will send to John A. Fletcher.
treasurer. will be placed to your credit and
We will credit you four per cent. interest
on !. aemi-annually. You may send O GER
tain sum regularly each pay day. or az
you are able to spare it. The deposits and
interest will of course be yours, subject
TO your withdrawal at any time, but we
shall hope that you will let 1t stay and
use 1t for college expenses when you come
back. Remittance may be made by check
Or money order direct to Mr.. Fletcher, who
will send a receipt Please indicate your
next of kin" to whom the money may
be returned IL -
There Is no money In this plan for us,
but 1t will be worth the trouble 1t causes
us II 1t helps any of you to get back to
college. On your part 1t may be pleasure
to you to watch the account grow and to
think of what it will do for you when you
are again in Middlebury. know that your
pay is not munificent. but perhaps money
comes little easier than it did here with
the only jobs at 15 cents per hour.
I'VE miss greatly those who have LEFT
us to enter the service. Things are runninf
smoothly, but college is not quite tn.
same. I am meeting with encouragement
as to the 100000 fund and believe W,
shall get 1t and thus keep our colleg,
going ahead even In time of war. We ar,
working very hard to keep Mlddlebur!
from being one of those colleges to com,
out OF the war period hampered by a,
accumulated debt.
I'VE remember you all every day at tn
chapel service. May god keep you an,
strengthen you for the work you hav
to dor

Lieut. Crutchley shouted through the

no answer, rang for the port engine

Crutchley gave the order to clear the

leave the engine room, blew the main
charges by a switch Installed aft. Lieu
tenant Crutchley blew the auxiliary
charges in the forward six-inch maya

Those on board felt the old ship
shrug. as the explosive tore the bottom
plates and b,dkheads from her. She
sank about six feet and lay upon the
bottom of the channel.
Her work was done.
at Is to be presumed that Com
mander Godsal was killed by the shell
which struck the coming tower. Lieu
tenant Crutchley, searching the ship
before he left her, failed to find his
body or that of SublIeut. MacLachlan

and shattered steel.

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach That dull,
heavy, "bloated" sensation that follows
full meal, robS good living of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found sure,
quick. relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
''sour stomach" heartburn, formation
of painful gases. "bloatlng," etc, etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC. and It certainly is making a
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands Of people who formerly APP
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favorite foods
without fear of the after-effects.

tablets are the solution of the age-old
problem of indigestion and all forms
Of stomach misery.
