the Breslau continuing to fight the
Lizard. which was prevented from
closing In to torpedo range because
OF the accuracy of the enemy's fire
at the shorter range. The destroyer

the two destroyers endeavored to
cover the monitors by forming a
smoke screen, In attempting which
they were subjected to an accurate
fire from the Goeben.

THE Goeben kept southerly
course until an attack by British air
craft forced her to alter her course
and head for the Dardanelles. In
the act Of turning she struck mine
which caused her to settle down aft
with list of 10 to 15 degrees
which considerably reduced her
speed She proceeded slowly up the
Dardanelles, escorted by enemy sea-
planes and at four Turkish destroy
ers, British aircraft attacked the
Goeben and obtained two hits when
she was off Chanak The Goeben

shore and beached at the extreme
end Of the Niagara Point. about 100
yards from the light house. Short

direct hits were made on her by the
aircraft which were engaged heavily
by several enemy seaplanes. In the
encounters which took place. one OF
the British seaplanes failed to re-
turn.

that President Kerr would mention
something OF the constructive work,
Mr.. Kerr referred 10 his recent trip
10 Washington aud said he was Inn
pressed by what had been accom-
plished In war preparation In no
short u time. Mistakes had probably
been made but the wonder IA that
NO much could be accomplished with
10 few mistakes.
President Kerr pledged the presi-
dent every resource OF the college In
the service OF the nation aud men,
toned that the o. A. c. Is classcd
among the 10 institutions which are

OF value In war work. and among
them he mentioned. conservation

Mr.. Kerr urged the necessity for

It Is Interesting To Hear Young
Wife Plan What New Home Will Be
Your Mind Whether You Want To Visit Her.

IT'S always interesting to hear Z
l young bride tell what she wants
most TO have in her new home. Also
what she is determined not TO have.
II you listen to her carefully, you
can pretty easily make up your mind
whether or not you would care to be
a guest at her home that is 10 be.
If she IS emphatic in regard TO sun
shine, and easy chairs, and a piano,
and even an open fire. I feel sure that
she understands comfort and friend
illness and real hospitality. and !
know I shall accept the first invita-
ton that she gives me.
But II her souls delight seems to
depend on the embroidered initials
Of her table linen, and II she betrays
her fear that her best beloved won't
domesticate wei. but that his pipe
smoke will iniure he'd draperies. I
may admit that she could pass a
housekeeping test but L know also
that I don't want TO be her visitor.
A woman who says she doesn't care
Tor growing plants in her house be-
cause they are so much trouble gives
one a cold stranger feeling. but one
who bars out Gagged song birds be-
cause cages are cruel. thereby prac-
tically invites one to step over her
threshold and see what is there.
Company Manners--
The other day q girl said with per
feet seriousness that the one thing
she intended never 10 allow In her
house was company manners"
saw from this that she understood
what hospitality is. and that hers
would always be a home that friends
would troop to eagerly and leave
with regret.
She had had experience. Of corrse.
