knees ready to beg mercy there
was one place THAT was not con
quered by the Germans and thai
place was Verdun. Three times the
German army thundered against the
citadel but Verdun valiantly held
her own.
In their mad dream of world EN-
pire that seemed ITO seize the Ger
mans in the world war they thought
that the disgrace caused by not cap
turing Verdun in the war of 1870
should be erased by razing her to
the ground. AS in 1870, Verdun
raised arms against the enemy and
said you shall not pass Army after
army and multiplied after multiplied
thousands were sacrifised in an at.
tempt to capture Verdun. Millions of
men were lost before America enter
ed the war, and now Verdun has
built around itself wall of bones
that Germany will look at long be-
fore Size attacks France again.
In speaking of the trips of the
first American troops to cross to
France, the major continued: when
it was decided that America should
enter the war, | was stationed on
the Mexican frontier. Within a very
shorit time after war was declared
we We're marching down the gang
plank at Hoboken, preparatory to
embarking for France, the first di-
vision of artillery to go. Day after
day of that journey across the sea
was spent lodging submarines. The
Germans knew that there were three
regiments on that transport and if
she could sink the boat she could |
at one swoop destroy one half of
the artillery of the United States
army"
Arrived Safely.
A picture Of what took place at the
landing Of the first division In
France was painted by the speaker.
"As our proud ships moved up t.
the dock, we were surrounded by
multitude of French women and chill
tA-,- and old men, for che young
men were then on the battle fronts.
They did not wave a welcome and
we did not wave at them. But with
beating hearts we read i'll the faces
OF that throng of people the story
of the sufferings of France. Wild
owed mothers were there, old, old
were there, wivs were there,
aged fathers were there, and sweet
hearts were there silently Watching

The First American Shot.

after short training at Valde-
hon my regiment marched on the
line down THE gauntlet and fired the
first shot full and fair into the face
OF the naughty Hun who would dom
mate the world. This shot was
heard all along the western frone
from the English channel to heroic
Delfor. on lthe Swiss frontier, from
the cannon's mouth our nation said,
Now you must fight America. That
gave morale to all the western front
for they knew that America had
taken its stand for democracy in the
world.

could not be confirmed.

Improved Backheld Play for

BY JACK NHE.

Mr.. Bryan Morse. the enthusiastic
and resourceful gridiron expert who
has assumed the healthy task of
putting George Washington back on
the football map after several bleak
and desolate seasons. will trot his
men out for inspection this after
noon at the American League Park,
Here they are. boys. Look 'em
over and see If we aren't coming
along" is the brief mental address
Mr.. Morse will make to the spec
tators.
There should be quite a gather
ing on hand when the whistle
sounds TO send the Hatchetites into
action against Villanoya.
One circumstance that should
swell the attendance is the fact that
Mr. Morse and his boys have the
field to themselves in the District,
as far as collegiate football is con-
cerned.
The rest Of the cleated heroes are
playing on hostile fields.
Morse Had Hard Job.
Starting the season with a bunch
of youthful and inexperienced men,
most of whom were fresh from prep
schools, Coach Morse had to start
from the ground up in the deYel-
opmsnt Of a team. 1t was neces-
sariIy slow work, but he was not
looking alone to the results of this
season. but to next year and pos
sibly the next
some Of these boys have great
- possibilities" he said when he first
-
they get the necessary experience
they ought to give a good account
of themselves"
And so he started to work.
Even in the early games the
Hatchetites have shown more
strength than was expected: They
opened by holding Western Mary
land to a 7-and-7 tie, and the visi-
tors were older and more expe-
rienced in the game. The next setto
was with Delaware College, which
had shown signs of strength by de-
feating Ursinus, a team which had
trimmed Rutgers.
Delaware's heavier eleven got
away with the long end of the
score, but not by any notable mar
gin. A count of IA to I indicates
that the teams were fairly evnly
