Governor Gardner to Lead
Grand March at the Event
Here.

Through the chief of ordnance of
the army the executive committee Of
the Military Ball has secured a large
pyrotechnical display to be used the
night of March 5. This display will
be held on the field south of the Rol-
lins Field bleachers. 1t will begin
at $3.50 p. m. and last until 8 o'clock
and give the people of Columbia and
University students. an opportunity to
see how the battlefields of France
looked at night.
1t is the desire of the military de-
partment to produce an effect which
will coincide as nearly as possible to
a night on a real battlefield. TO do
this all equipment will be of the same
type as used in the late war. CAL
cium light rockets, caterpillar rockets
and Bengal lights, will produce a
multi-colored lighting effect. At the
same time the artillery, consisting OF
three-inch field pieces and machine
guns, will go into action behind the
bleachers and lay down barrages in
Guiding the rolling, creeping, station
airy and box barrages.
The entire exhibition is to be given
as an introduction to the Military Ball,
beginning at O'Clock. At that time
the barrage will lift and the crowd
will 60 over the top with Rothwell
Gymnasium as the first objective. The
dance will start with the grand march
led by Governor Frederick d. Gardner
and the honorary colonel.

II Washington Is Defeated'
Missouri meets Washington Univer-

win one game, Missouri. according to
its athletic director, will be in a posi-
ton to claim an undisputed Valley
basketball championship.
Director Meanwell's statement came
Immediately after the second Kansas
defeat and was somewhat. of a sur
prise to Tiger rooters who consider
fourteen victories, no defeats and four
games to go, enough for any school to
claim a championship on. Not so with
the coach. Washington has lost one
game to Oklahoma but, if,-and its
a most improbable if this time.-the
Pikers should win two and Missouri
lose all four, the Tigers would have
a right to claim the title.
The second valley title, If it comes
to Missouri next Saturday, will not

olics do not show sufficient interest
in higher education. This is indicated
first, because Catholics who have
wealth do not select Catholic colleges
as the object of their beneficence.
Secular and Protestant colleges are
endowed and receive countless be-
quests, but Catholics of means seem
to lack the public spirit and the prac-
teal Catholicity which should arouse
them to do something for the Catholic
seats of learning. Whether this is due
to the lack of social prestige that goes
with a gift to Catholic, in preference
to secular institution, is not the
question, but it is certain that if it
was not for the fact that many of our
professors serve without compensation
and work solely for the greater glory
of God, our high schools and colleges
would not be able to struggle along
on the inadequate tuition fees they
receive. Surely it is the time oppor-
tune for laundering forth the doctrine
of stewardship to those who seem to
think that they have a divine commits
sion to gather and keep that which
the moral law says they are only the
custodians of. In the second place,
lack of Catholic interest in higher
education is shown by the great num-
Der of Catholic parents who do not in
sist that their children receive a high
school and college training. Our few
Catholic high schools and colleges
are by no means crowded because we
do not insist that our youths remain
at school. Children of fifteen and

election on March 30. Charles Turrill,
who claims to have been elected modera-

and Lawrence Wellinges. who claims to
have been elected town clerk, is named
as bringing the action against Peet.
1t is claimed by the contestants that
the selectmen of the town revised the
check list which was used at the cleo
ton when they lad no authority to do
so. They claim this was within the province
of the board of civil authority which
consists OF five justices, the town clerk
and the three selectmen The division
was sharp between the two factions. the
justices being arraigned on one side and
the town clerk with the three selectmen
on the other.
The Hinsdale faction won out at cleo

that there We're three names on the list
which were not admitted when the list
was revised by the board of civil au-

name which the board OF civil authority
did not admit. They claim that this

He did not confine his forecasting
alone to the weather. He upheld his
reputation by his success in guessing
on greater events that later proved

COUNTRY TO-DAY IS
I PRACTICALLY PAGAN
Rector of st. Paul's Church Says
That United States Must Be

Civil War Veterans Saved II
from Destruction

1T Is not destruction that this country
must be saved from to-day" said the
Rev. S. Halstead Watkins at the memorial
service at st. PauIs Church Sunday
lit is corruption There are many forces
working to-day against the good Of the
country. There is that element that is
trying to overthrow all government then
there Is that element that is trying to
make money out of the suferings of the
rest of the people. Then there is a lack
of Goodness. All of these are working to
the detriment of the whole.
II am enough of an economist to know
that period of abnormal conditions
must follow the war and that prices can
not be normal during a period which is
not normal, but the people who are max
ing a, big profit and charging it to
abnormal times are doing a great wrong
to the country Every business man
knows that everything in business de-
ponds on confidence. Without confidence
nothing can be done, and panics and such
now that there is no confidence any
where among men. But deeper than
confidence is Goodness. Everyone knows
that the civilization of any country that
is without religion soon rots. This coun-
try was founded by men with a deep
religious sense and now it is practically
pagan. Unless we do something about
this our civilization will rot.
THE men of my age can do little except
to prepare for those who are to follow.
for it is upon the men and women who
are to live and work during the next
twenty-five to forty years that this task
devolves. You men here have saved the
country from destruction and you have
done nobly. Now it rests with the rest OF
us to save it from corruption
