FAVORITE SPORTS
 EVOLUTION OF WORK
(New York Tr!bune)

Play is ancestral work. The things our forefathers, near or remote. did to live, we do for fun, muses an ex- change. Away back in the dim dis tance, they lived by hunting-and by lodging the creatures which were hunting them. In those days, it con- siderably strengthened ones grip on life to be able to throw a stone with accuracyss to hit quickly and strong ly with a club, to run from tree to tree so swiftly and with such nice judgment of distance as to foil old Saber-Tooth, the original apostle of frightfulness.
 The men who could do these things well left descendants. Generations, centuries, aeons passed. and these descendants. struggling to repeat the daily work of their forebears, evolved such games as cricket, one old cat and rounders. Out of this last, by happy chance and happier genius, was developed baseball, to exercise our lungs, improve our eyes and increase our vocabularies.
 Far different is the origin of foot ball. The keynote of that is the massed rush-like the one which won the battle of Marathon. Sometimes the massing is extra close, core spending to the charge of the Thebau column at Leuctra and with pretty nearly as high proposition of casual ties until the rule makers abolished the flying wedge. But even in the most open game, football is essen- tially a disciplined charge. and the activities it calls into play are inn measureably less ancient than those of baseball
 Why the one game has become the I the other the peculiar joy of colleges. no one can say, but so it is. Perhaps half the problem can be solved by recollecting that the college age is the military age. and takes naturally to a game which mimics ancient war;

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July 10.-A heavy rain which reached the of cloudburst in the west section of the city filled many cellars with water and did considerable prop erty damage late this afternoon.

enables us to save many vessels which would
otherwise have been lost"
Confirmation of the success in dealing
with the U-boat menace was also brought
home by DR.. M. L. Raney, librarian of
Johns Hopkins University, who recently
returned from France. In a statement
given out recently he said:
"The U-boat situation according to Adj
miral Sims absolutely is under control The
construction of tonnage is meeting the de-
struction. Captain T. L. Wilson, command
ing officer of the flagship upon which l Wis
tied vessels of the American navy in French
waters, said that by the end Of August we
should have the U-boats completely damned.
The submarine practically has re-
fused to function on the French coast"
An Encouraging Proportion
T>HE ineffectiveness of the U-boat cam.
paign has also been emphasized in
the American press in connection with the
loss last week of fifty-six American SOL
diers on the British ship Moldavia, which
was believed to have been sunk by SUBJ
marine. "The Washington Star" calcu-
lates that this makes a total of 339
men lost from our fighting forces in
transport to France, and it adds this
pregnant passage:
Had the United States reckoned upon /
per cent of casualties from this source at
the outset of the campaign the figures would
probably have been deemed too low. In point
of fact, up to date it has been less than
one-tenth of l per cent and if this fact
ever gets squarely before the German people
they will realize the stupidity and futility
of the submarine campaign, which brought
the United States into the war and has
completely failed to keep it from becoming
an effective factor.

lean and Italian achievements have had
the effect of stimulating the morale of

NOV down their assailants."
So the feeling of general optimism may
be traced all through the editorial COL
umns during these first days of the new
drive. There is encountered no express
sion of regret over Germany's having
delayed the stroke no longer. The near
est approach to such expression is to be
found in "The Washington Post" which
reckons that another month of inaction
would have furthered the effectiveness of
Allied preparations. But it does not

Providence fights on Germany's side?"
That was the day before the drive.
The next day everything had changed.
The new drive was on, after four weeks
of lull, dating from the repulse of Won
Arnim northwest of Ypres on April 30
The American press has responded to

Powerful and still resourceful. We
know, too, that the yielding up of much

If the outlook is encouraging, it must
not be lost sight CT, as "The Montreal

The minister further said that the AL

methods of repairing damaged ships that
during the first four months of the wear
more than half million tons was re-

1t is interesting here to recall a pas

Geddes, the First Lord Of the Admiralty,
showing how the submarines have practi-
cally been driven off the high seas and
compelled to hug the shore. He said:
Zone result of the convoy system has been
