For Fordham
Track Athletes

Bernie Wefcrs, coach OF the Ford
ham University track team. has a
squad of twenty-five candidates work
ing out for places on the Maroon relay
and for the sprnts and middle dis
tances.
Wefers has been Handicapped by the
icy roads, ard has been compelled to
limit the athletes to indoor work for
several days. He expects to have the
runners outdoors every day hereafter
IN preparation for whatever meets the
Maroon athletes Will enter.
The squad is as large as in normal
times, but Coach Wefers is making a
big effort to induce a good percentage
OF the students TO report for the daily
spins. In this way the benefits to be
derived from track work arc not to be
confined TO the actual members Of the
team alone, but are 1c hc placed in the
reach OF tho whole student body.
Despite the loss of Captain Dale,
three veterans are available from last

The fourteenth annual National Mo-
tor Boat Show will open in Grand Gen.
trail Palace next Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock. The fact that the motor
boat is Big factor in sea fighting and
quite indispensable to the navy, makes
the exhibition especially timely.
Every conceivable sort Of modern
boat propelled by gasolene motor. from
the tiniest craft to sixty-foot scout
patrols, will be found in profusion on
the two huge floors. The decorations
will be novel and timely. -Four in.-

the closest tussslc Of the evening is a
one-mile relay between the army and
navy. The teams that will compete in
this speciality will have to earn this
right by their showing in the pre-
liminarY heats, which arc to be the
first events on tho programme.
Tho committee las been assured Of
an entry of at least seven teams in the
army and navy race. Judging by the
strength Of the teams. it is probable
that Camp Devcns and the Boston
Navy Yard will meet in the final race.
The track men Of the Boston Athletic
Association, along with many Harvard,
Yale and Dartmouth athletes, comprise
these squads, and they arc not likely to
meet with much opposition in winning
the trial heats.
Ten From Spartanburg
While no announcement of thc rull
list OF entries has been made. it is sa
to assume that one thousand athletes
will toe the starting line in the various
races. Camp WadsWorth is TO be rep

HIATT burg, Miss, viii have a total Of

Every chicken that is raised 'by the poultry fanciers about Williams, is another blow at the Hun. The poultry business here is growing rapidly, and it should continue to grow until Williams ships out poultry in stead of having poultry shipped into Williams. The worst enc my the poultry raiser in this section has to deal with is the chicken louse, particularly the head louse, which kills thou sands upon thousands of little chicks each year. These can be combatted successfully and the loss of little chicks from that cause, brought toizero. In another column in this issue of the News appears quotations from Farmers Bulletin No. sol, which suplies the information, which if followed will spell the doom of the chicken louse.

Accomplishments A Have
 Answered s@si'.

A few years ago the republi- can press of the nation devoted many columns of space regular ly, to criticisms of Secretary of Navy Daniels. He was criti- cised from every angle, declar- ed incompetent, inefficient, a worthless fguehead, and var ious other things. A few months after we entered the war, the navy had aquitted itself with such credit that part of the republican press which has a concience and a sense of Justice and fairness--the Arizona Re- publican for instance--came out with acknowledgements of error and gave the secretary credit for the wonderful accomplish iments which he had been quiet ly effecting.
 A few months ago a large part of the republican press was rabid in it's attacks .on Sec retary Baker. A mountain was made out of every molehill, and his management of the war de partment was declared most in- efficient and blundering. MT. Baker has gone ahead perform ing his duties with thorough ness and dispatch until his re- publican ,.assailants have been forced to lapse into silence for want of sympathetic listeners. With over 2 million men in France on the 4th, while the secretary had promised only a million and a half by the end of December, which number is sure of being raised by at least five hundred thousandin actual accomplishment - it is now in order for the republican press to apologize for it's unfair and unreasonable attacks on the secretary, only a few months back. E. 5.a F. And during this time. Presi- dent Wilson has been going ahead with his duties, unrnind- Eful of the criticisms made of the men he had appointed he him self knowing that those men
 were the right men for the places they filled. The great ness of the president is reflected in the accomplishments of the men he holds in office, and these men are winning higher praise with each passing day. In this critical and uncertain stage of human progress, it is fortunate for America and the
 world, that such great man as President Wilson occupies the seat of chief executive of the greatest nation known in his tory. ,ss 5s >4
