her, related several of his interviews
with men who had seen service over
seas. Brief talks were given, also, by
the members of the team, Coach
Batesole and c. S. Schneider, the
cheering was led by Miss Theresa
Nequette and Douglas Prehn. In
Coach Batesole's talk he spoke of a
very fine basket maker on the Wit
tenberg had a superior basket maker
deal OF unnecessary anxiety on the
part of the student body, for if Wit
tenberg had a superior baske maker
he didn't accompany the team, Wit
tenberg losing by a score of 2S-7
The boys spent the greater part of the
first half in getting into the game and
not until after Ruehlman made the
first basket did the game liven up. 1t

the local team, for all the boys put up
a good fight but Bronstadt and Ker-
stein starred for the visitors.

FRENCH DEVOTED TO. HOMES
To Greater Degree Than Perhaps
Any Other People They Love
Their Native Places.

In counting the sorrows that have
fallen upon France one must remember
that her people, for the most part,
have no wandering instinct in their
blood; various causes, temperamental,
economic, have made of them race
that roots stubbornly. A race that
plans forward, that builds and saves
and stints; that has little careless
trust in the future, in the haphaZard
turn of events; that holds to what
1t has and improves it unadventurous-
ly but steadily; race, in the prov
inces especially, of small owners, small
landholders, small ShOpkeepers. With
such the roots are driven deep into the
soil, are entwined about the house they
seldom move from; for which reason
the towns in which they and their
fathers have dwelt have lasting indi-
viduality unknown with more emigrant
races. And for the same reason, L
make no doubt that when they are
driven forth by the chances of war
their suffering is greater than that or
Il PCODlc
ourselves. To the Frenchman, home
is In very truth an abiding place, and
the unknown and unsettled future
greater dread than with us. Always
shall remember the dulled, tight-lipped
faces OF the older women of the town;
of one, in particular, who stared
through the splintered windows of the
little shop that was her home, not
seeming to hear while 1 stumbled
out my sympathy, resentful and ST.
lent In her hopelessness. The little
shop and the rooms behind 1t had been

husband for years. >. None of them

SAMPLE OF RED CROSS WORK
Wounded English Soldiers Mother
Made Glad by News of Son in
American Hospital.

He sat little apart from the other
men who crowded the receiving sta

his mouth and a peaceful smile on his
face that brought the American Red
Cross searchers to his side with a
query.
you look as If you're glad to be
here; are you really?" she asked. The
wounded man grinned joyously.
you're jolly well right, miss, I've
only Just come from back of the Ger

His name was G. Tully, and he be
lOnged to the British Royal Field ar

had been taken prisoner by the Ger

the lines to work on the railroads and
ammunition trains.
When the Americans started their
offensive near Fismes, he and two
other comrades made a dash for the
American lines. The TommieS with
him fell, mortally wounded by bullets
that were meant for BOches. Tully
escaped with only slight wound in
the wrist and was sent back 70 the
base with a trainload Of American
wounded.
The Red Cross searcher at once sent
word to the wounded mans mother. in
England. that he was safe in an Amer
lean hospital. and q short time aft
erward this acknowledgment came
back from the British Red Cross:
I'VE have today forwarded your kind
information re Gunner G. Tully
to his mother, who had inquired about
him Of US for three months without
success. We cannot say how CRATE
full we are to you for having taken
so much trouble in his case and for be-

2 Senator C. B. Bird has introduced
a bill to authorize Incorporation Of
community centers. This is designed
to provide for social recreational and
educational activities. The senator
suggests a community house to be
built by the corporation and dedicated
to the memory of soldiers and sailors.
Senator Bird argues and rightly, too,
that under conditions which are short
ly to exist there should be some CEN
trail place for the gathering of the

President Wilson sailed for the
United States aboard the liner, George
Washington, at 11:15 o'clock, Satur-
day morning.
His party is much smaller than that
which accompanied him on the trip
over, due to the fact that large por-
ton of the staff of technical experts
and assistants are remaining in Paris
to assist in peace preparations. The
liner is also bringing back the 300
American soldiers who formed a guard
at the Murat palace.
President Wilson will arrive at Bos-

that Tumulty had received a cable
from the president in which he an
