mite. Vincent Nicholson, elder son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Nicholson, and
former executive secretary Of the
American Friends Service committee
in this county, is now on the field
in France. He is at present making
portable houses at Dole, but as this
work is to be closed up by the first Of
June, it is probable that the two bro
theirs will work together in the Verdun
district, which has been taken over
by the Friends.

Biblical department of Earlham col
lege. who returned yesterday from an
extensive trip to various Friends col
leges, said this morning that in eadh
