Many Changes
Follow Early
Rowing Season
Seating Of College Fights
Still Undecided; Dropping
of Sedgwick a Surprise

By Heywood Broun

ne season is still little early for
rowing predictions, particularly from,
an observer who has watched only one
OF the crews in action. Nor was a sight
or the Princeton crew at work particu-
larly informing, since the eight was
seen in motion picture news weekly
at theatre whore the operator was I'M
patent. He had the Orange and Black
eight using stroke of 174 to the min
ute, which seems excessive, although il
must be admitted that, no matter how
last the film tore along, the crew held
IT'S form. 1t was always ready to meet
the stroke set by the man at the crank
AS matter Of fact. the best time for
any crew prediction is Immediately
,upsets the dope little more frequent
~ than any other. Indeed, old rowing
experts are generally inclined to take
this perversity into account. and in.
variably pin their faith on the crew
which has made the slowest time trial.
10 be sure, the fundamental weakness
OF time trials lies in the difficulty OF
getting approximately the same rowing
conditions. Once the similarity of the
rival crews there might be foundation
for prediction.
Tigers Look Good
Less expe rimenting is going on at
Princeton, where Spaeth has made no
change IN his first crew since the
Easter recess, but conditions are not
yet sati sfactory. since the second crew
has been consistent in beating the first
crew. Leh, stroke of the B combina-
ton, seems to get more out of his
men than his rival, who happens to be
Captain Creswell of the varsity, and he
is likely to win promotion before long.
In this event Creswell will not be
dropped from his boat, but will prob
ably go back to NO. 6.
Yale and Cornell have also profited
by the. early spring, and the coaches
throughout the East ought to have
terial and get their minds up we'll in
advance Of the big races. The year
promises a number Of well-rounded
and well-seasoned Fights by the time
the tests come.

OF THE DRIVE HERE
They Have Named Committee
Covering the County and Will
Canvass for Donations.

When an organization with the re.
cord of the Salvation Army appeals
for aid, it is duty and it may be
termed privilege to contribute to it
The Salvation Army relieves every
form of suffering and distress. Nc
form of misery or want appeals to il
IN vain. They feed the hungry; they
clothe the naked; they welcome the
stranger; they minister to the sick;
and they visit those in prison. The
practical charity of the Salvation
Army reaches places and people that
no other charitable organization can
reach,
For many years the Salvation Army
raised its money by soliciting the pub
lie continually. The girl with the
tambourine became the symbol of APP
peal for money. That form of rails
ing money was found to be very ex-
pensive, it consumed large part of
the time of the Salvation Army's
workers. So about three years ago
it was abolished and the present meth
cd of raising funds was adopted. Now
the years expenses of the Army are
raised in weeks campaign.
In Winneshiek county the Decorah
Lodge of Elks was asked TO direct the
appeal for funds and it accepted the
invitation as duty and privilege.
The Elks have named committee
covering the entire county and con-
sisting Of Methodists, Quakers, Cath
|olics, Jews, Eutherans and others, not

MAJOR CALDWELL DENIED TRIP
War Department Writes That Ii
Cannot Pay Expenses to
Washington.

Major l.. l.. Caldwell received a
letter last Saturday from the war
department, that knocked his con-
templated trip to Washington as a
guest of the war department into a
cooked hat. A short time ago he
was rendered an invitation to come
to Washington as a guest OF the
nation to participate in the cere-
monies pertaining to the burial of
an unknown American who was a
member of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces and lost his life dur
ing the world war. The burial is
to take place on Nov. II in Arlington
cemetery.
Now comes a letter from the Adj
iutant General of the Army to Mr..
Caldwell stating that owing to un-
forseen limitation in the money APP
propriated for these ceremonies it
will not be possible to pay his
travelling expenses to Washington as
originally contemplated. The letter
stated that the funds finally made
available for this purpose by sub
sequent congressional act are ia,
less than the amount estimated by
the war department, and reductions
in several items of expense therefore
became imperative, and among
others the expense of bringing all
Medal of Honor men to the cere-
monies had to be curtailed.
to be curtailed.
The letter also stated that "while
it is fully realized by the war de-
partment that no body of men in
our country is more deserving of ey-
cry consideration on an occasion OF
this nature than the Medal of Honor
holders, it has been found necessary
in so far as Medal of Honor mer
are concerned, to limit the invitation
to attend these ceremonies at gov.
ernment expense to those who earn
ed their medals in the world war;
OF course, under the circum
stances, Major Caldwell will not at
tend the ceremonies. 1t is a dis
appointment to him, and to tht
others, of course, and it looks TO VI
as if the department should have
found some way out of it to keel
the original invitation intact.

Moines for the "Growing" of the
Largest Flag Ever Seen
In Iowa.

When the Holding of the National
Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic
Takes Place.

The holding Of the national en-.
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic in Des Moines next Septem.
ber has already aroused much inter.
est. The custodian of the state
house and grounds has a force OF
men arranging the ground for the
growing" of the largest flag even
seen i'm Iowa. II will be on the north
west corner Of the grounds and will
be an immense affair. The forty
eight stars representing the number
of states will be of blue, and red
and white flowers will make the
stripes, the ground where the flag
will be planted to flowers in the
spring slopes toward the street and
will be in plain view of the passing
throng.
Gen. j. z. Benson, assistant adju-
tant general, in charge of the Grand
Army quarters i'm the state house,
says that Iowa had the largest rep
resentation of any state at the re-
cent national encampment at Ind
annapolis. There were 500 men in
line from Iowa, each using a corn
stalk walking cane and having ears
of corn suspended as shield over
each shoulder.
The roster of the Iowa member
ship in the Grand Army shows ASS
deaths The past year. There are liv-
ing eighteen comrades who have
served the department of Iowa as
commanders. The portraits of all of
the men who have served in this cap
acity are displayed on the walls of
the Grand Army quarters in the
state house.
