eyes, my dear monsieur, that was Ger
many's attitude to the Belgians from the
first. You have seen Won Emmich's pro-
clamation to the country the proclama-
ton which the German army carried
with it across the Belgian frontier on
August 4. To my very great regret
under the constraint of unavoidable
ecessity-Germany is compelled to in
wade Belgium. 1t is my greatest wish
that conflict between the two nations,
once allies, may be avoided. Remember
the glorious days of Waterloo. A free
passage to attack France is all we de-
sire. give a formal pledge to the Bel

into the background to be replaced by
the glorious days of Louvain and Liege
and Andenne.
'That is ever the German way: first
the smiling face or, if that fails, the fist
straight between the eyes. After that,
anything you please. No, those people
do not go in for half measures. You
must be their ally or their slave and, if
you are their ally, they must still be the
masters, absolute and unquestioned.
"And so we were apprehensive and
went about with an extreme delicacy.
You have heard of. Andenne? We heard
of it before you did, expect. That busi-
ness took place on August 20 and 21.
On the 22d was shown a poster that
had been put up that morning all over
Llege informing the town that Andenne
had been reduced to ashes and that 11O
people had been shot because the popu-
lation, after receiving the Germans
| peacefully, had treacherously attacked
them. This was sort of delicate hint
to Liege to behave itself, you understand.
Yet one would have supposed that the
Germans might have spared themselves
this trouble, seeing that at Liege on that
same night of the goth twenty-nine civil
ians had been murdered and fifty-fve
houses had been burned.

THE Glutton Has a
l Pocket. Also

"They had stripped our 1arders, but
your German has soul that can con-
Germ itself with more than victuals and
drink. whatever some people may say Of
him. His desires include money. He is
careful to fill his belly, but he thinks
also of his pocket. And so our good
friends proceeded to levy contribution
Of cash upon the town. Nothing very
tremendous, you understand. Saint
Hilaire is not Luneville to be bled to
the tune of 650,00O francs, or Brussels
to be required to produce millions Of
your pounds. Thirty thousand francs
was all they took from us to begin with;
but, my faith, they would have been hard
put to it to take more. Their assessment
was nicely calculated. 1t would seem as if
they had known to a centime how much
we would be likely to scrape together,
and indeed it is very probable that they
did. Like all the world, we too had had
our Germans amongst us in the days
before the war, good, fat, jolly fellows
whom many of US were glad to invite
into our homes. Such people have op-
portunities of making estimates as they
go about in a small community where
every one knows all about every one else.
No doubt they reported their discoveries.
This contribution was not called a con-
tribution, you understand. 1t was levied
by way of security for our good behavior,
and we were told by proclamation that il
would be refunded to the town if the in-
habitants showed themselves reasonable
and committed no hostile act. But the
Germans are apparently still waiting to
assure themselves of Saint Hilaire's rea-
sonableness. And, of course, so long ~
they are there, there is always the pos
sibility that hostile act may be COM
mitted.
Having thus made arrangements by
which we should be prevented from eat
ing ourselves to death, or gambling our.
selves into the workhouse, they set about
providing for the maintenance of order
and tranquility in the town.
They plastered our walls with orange
papers which forbade US to leave our
houses during the daytime except for
absolutely necessary purposes, in order,
for instance, to buy provisions-and
from whom, dear God?-or to water cat
tie. At night we were absolutely for
hidden to leave our houses after O'Clock
in any circumstances whatever The
cafes were to be closed at 5. Any one
who should attempt to leave the town
by night or day upon any pretext what
ever would be shot. We were not to dig
potatoes except with their consent and
under military supervision. Their sem
tinels and patrols were authorized to fire
(at their own discretion, please observe)
on any one who should depart from these
directions.
"Well, that at any rate put an end TO
any junketing in the streets. The Pax
Germanica had fallen upon the town,
which might have been dead one. De-
cency was observed in our streets, !
promise you, in so far as their Lawful
inhabitants were concerned. 1t was
hardly worth while to take the air with
ones sweetheart if the consequences
were to be bullet from the first sentry
who chose to loose off his rifle by way Of
distracting the monotony Of his exist
ence."

NO FOOTBALL AT HAVERFORD
Fears That Pastime Would Interfere
With Military Course Cause Aban-
Comment of Game.

After tenure of almost forty years
the great American game of football
will be abolished at Haverford college
this season. 1t was believed that the
pastime would materially interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays,
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore, which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless government regula-
lions forbid such procedure, which is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander Of
Swarthmore, "the students need recre-
alton and as football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, If pos
sible, continue competition"
The annual struggle with Haverford,
which must now be abandoned, came
as rather severe blow to the Garnet.

termination to see it through. DR.. Roy
Mercer will be retained and the sport

string into comparison, can show q
greater measure of success than Rich
ard I. Wilson, the president Of the

Wilson had until recently only about
half a dozen mares, he always had a
horse of more than ordinary quality
racing under his colorS that was the
outcome of his own theories in mating,
while In Campfire and Hannibal he

CAGE BALL IS LATEST
GAME PLAYED IN ARMY

Cage ball, one Of the latest
additions to the long list of
training camp sports conducted
by the war department COM
mission on training camp activi-
ties, bids fair to become one of
the most popular athletic diver
sions among the soldiers and
sailors.
Cage ball combines the play
value Of several games. 1t has
the rush and drive of football,
the exciting moments of basket
ball and the rough hustle and
tussle of the class rush.
The game can be played by
dozen, a hundred or thousand
men; there is no limit to the
number of players. Thus the
weak and undeveloped may have
the same experience, pleasure
and profit that is given to the
skilled athlete who plays on a
team whose players are limited.
And the aggressive fighting
spirit, so invaluable on the bat
tlefield, is stimulated.

ment Of the individual student will be
emphasized rather than the production
of teams of highly specialized athletes.
Every student in the institution-and
there will be about 1900 OF them next
year-will be required to participate in
some form of outdoor sport, with Bez-
dek personally supervising his activi-
ties.
Under Bezdek's guiding hand all of
Penn States intercollegiate athletic
teams will be continued and encour-
aged. They will continue to meet OPP
ponents from representative colleges
and universities.
