II is so decidedly different from any

that IT Is almost impossible to draw

there is distinct simplicity of plot de

are only three or Our real characters

Important changes in university
regulations have been made by the
faculty in order to prepare the way
for the hig reconstruction program
that is being planned by this insti-
tuition. The date OF opening the new
quarter has been changed from Dec.
so TO Jan. 6 in order to make II pos
sihle for the men in training camps
to begin work. II was believed by
the faculty hat many men we're un-
aware OF the quarter system and that
this change would give the univer-
s'ty time 20 acquaint all prospective
students Of the opening date.
Arrangements to give university
credit 60 university men who have
been IN the service OF the government
we're also made. The exact nature of
the credit has not yet been deter
mined. but it is known that all mil
itary training that has any educa-
tional value will be recognized by the
university officials. Thus men who
are in engineering. radio or other
technical branches Of the service. will
probably be permitted 10 graduate
with the class they left. This rule
will also apply to new students en-
tering the university.

AMERICANS HOLD 1900 MILES
OF FOES TERRITORY
Third Army Supervising AdmInistrn-
ton Of Many Yillages-250,000 Men
Marched Nearly 300 Miles In Less

The third army now occupies a
strip Of Germany containing more
than $500 square miles. II is super
vising the administration Of several
villages and operating hundreds of
miles OF railroads and street car
lines.
The methodical taking over of this
tremendous responsibility with the
m~ultitudinous needs Of hundreds of
thousands of hostile people will be
almost entirely accomplished within
fifteen days.
There is not a precedent in history
for this occupation, which is also re-
markable In that it was finished with
out a serious hostile demonstration
by either inhabitants or troops.
An army Of $50. 900 men marched
between 200 and 300 miles within a
month, starting almost Immediately
after weeks of the hardest kind of
fighting. In the last six weeks men
and officers have undergone probably
the most sincere physical test that
any American army has ever exper-
fenced. Yet. as they reached the
Rhine after wearisome and muddy
marches, they presented a magnif-
cent appearance despite their worn
and mud-spattered uniforms.
Many Of the men are wearing the
same uniforms they had in their last
fighting. The shoes of some were
torn and worn out, but they limped
along refusing TO fall out and insist
ing they would hang on and finish the
job.
Every phase of the occupation was
completed in exact accordance with
plans laid out the week before the
march begun. Even the Germans adj

smoOthness and directness of the
method of occupation.
