Now, one OF the points OF attack
upon the coach is just this: In order

he sees that he gets these goods. In

evil OF which college sport is guilty,
y"u can Immediately and without
much research attribute IL TO the

The coach Is always to be blamed
for that. II he puts the burden Of

The legend" with which Germany
has cloaked the atrocities Of Belgium
has been torn aside and the unfor-
sivable truth revealed in all its
tragic starkness. Each tale advanced
to mitigate crimes against women,
children. old men. priests. churches and
homes of an innocent country has been
traced to it's false foundation by the
author, who has based his facts on
authentic German documents and con-
Quoted his research in accordance with

whose preface cites fearful women
passing as pale ghosts before the
girs waving Ehssy
flags of vengeance in the faces of
dauntless heroes of the Brandenburger
regiments-babies crying in the win
dows with the intent to unnerve the
mortars-even the poor carrier pigeans
bearing the brass numbers of an inno-
cent sport giving evidence of the COM
plicity of entire villages in the crime
of leze majesty--these are the reasons
given to the world and accepted by the
Germans for the destruction of Lou
vain. with its library and historical
university: for the shelling for days of
priceless architectural monuments: for
the assassination OF hundreds Of inno-
cent men and women in q day; for all
the fearful show of bloody crimes
which make one faint to read and sick

Fate Of Cameroons.
from the London Tablet.

From the London Tablet
Among the problems to be decided at
the close of the war will be one con-
cerning the fate of the Cameroons.
1t is interesting, therefore. to recall
that in 1882 this territory was offered
to Great Britain in a letter addressed
by its two kings to Mr.. Gladstone in
the following terms:
Dear Sir: We both your servants
have meet this afternoon to write to
you these few lines of writing, trusting
it may find you in a|good state of life.
as 1t leaves us at present. AS we heard
here that you are the chief man in the
house Of commons. SO we write to you
to tell you that we want to be under

as you can. With kind regards. we are,

Lord Kimberley. who was then at the
colonial office, refused the gift. We
learn from the biography of Sir Charles
Dixie that he did his best to get this
decision reconsidered. The sequel may
be told in his own words:

eroons having been renewed later, and

wiser for her to look upon other models
with more approval.
There are short coats that hang
straight from the shoulders to finger
length below the waist and are slightly
belted in such a manner that the waist
line is casually defined.
Because of its limitations this short
jacket cannot be the ruling fashion.
None know that better than the French
artists. so they have sent over loose
coats of silk poplin, and the American
designers have turned out new cape
which reaches to the hips. is slim in
outline. and fastens at the neck with
a high rolling collar.
The poplin coats, as well as those
made of satin, shantung and other silks.
are often sleeveless, after the manner
of the twelfth century tunics, and the
waistcoat blouse that is worn beneath
ls an exact copy of the medieval gar
ment for men. 1t wrinkles loosely over
the figure from the chin or collar bone
to the hips: it is fastened on a straight
line with unimportant buttons. and its
long, slightly wrinkled sleeves flare
out over the knuckles of the hand
The designers do not find it neces-
sary to match these medieval corslets
to the rest of the costume. They often
make a brilliant contrast in both fab
ric and color. Matelasse is an admirable
material for them when the rest of the
suit is of plain. sober stuff.

to the personality of the domino tin g

men conspicuous for sobriety of

of Ireland. The high point of the mat

marked by sturdy good sense. by a
thoroughgoing brand Of patriotism, by
a fearlessness of support and a no less
fearless criticism of certain Irish meth

whole gives the reader an outlook upon
the Irish situation from the standpoint
of those who are best calculated to
