SUBSCRIPTIONS
FOR WAR FUND
COMING SLOWLY
PAGE EIGHT.

Some stacking up in the proceeds
for the United War Work fund was
noticed today, according to the after
loon report OF the War Work COM
smittee. With yesterdays start 1t was
hoped by the committee that the sub
scrfptions would come right along,
with as little house to house canvass
ing as possible.
No tabulation of today's proceeds
had been made late in the afternoon.
but the committee estimated that
business was not as good as yester-
day.
Sickness throughout the city has
put much additional work on the
business and professional men and
o. this reason the subscriptions are
coming in a little more slowly than
a anticipated. The committee is,
however, confident that the quota of
the city will be UP to the mark by
the end Of the campaign week.
President Wilson is taking a per-
sona1 interest in the campaign, as evil
denced by a press dispatch, in which
he expresses his conviction that the
service Of the welfare agencies which
are conducting this campaign. is in
~dispensable..
According to the report Of T. B. Ell

While the War Issues" course Of
fered at the 'U." is intended pri-

much interest on the part of other
civilian students. 1t is an entirely
new project, covering the history Of
the present war, the sociology,
philosophy the economic side of it,
the photography, and is presented in
a very different name than usual.
The work is divided into six divi-
sions handled, by six professors for
periods of two weeks each and lasts
throughout two academic quarters of
the school year. DR.. Gillette takes the
class for two weeks, lecturing on the
course from the angle of sociology.
DR.. Todd overs the work from the
philosophical standpoint, while. DR..
Towne takes it up with regard to the
government of the warning nations
and their economical condition. I'm

1t is proposed to add to the worka as

academic quarter of the year.
The course as a whole is a most
broadening and unusually interesting
one.

He writes that they have comforta-

to freeze. The climate is much like
wet September Of October weather
would be at home, only here rain is a
daily occurrence, and I never saw
such mud. Slight frosts in this dis
trict have colored the leaves, and the
hills are very picturesque now"

Campbell says hat the men over
there are looking for big things soon.
He says that they receive their news
