native city completely, which aroused
hope that they would end quickly the
period of panic and disorder at the

have been lost.

evacuation of foreigners from homes
outside the international barriers to
the north was proceeding as rapidly
as possible
"Some foreigners are isolated, in

tempts are being made to reach them
without military force"
The message, dated today, said one
British Indian soldier had been killed
and several British troopers wounded,
due to firing at the barriers by
armed agitators In reporting move

north area of the native city, where
nearly al lof the disorders of the
last two days have taken place, Gauss
said: ut is hoped that they will
quiet the situation there"
Pending restoration of order at
Shanghai, there is no possibility of
working out a formulae for the fu-
ture relations of the international
city with Chinese authorities. 1t is
still expected at the state depart

pletely control the situation beyond

the possibility that the three-year rule

As the writer apprehends the Army
attitude. the question of playing col

foot ball elevens as to the fact that
the college element among the cadets
comprises about 81 per cent of the
student body, A great majority OF
these collegian-cadets do not play foot

puzzled to find a good reason why A

in for varsity foot ball if they have
the ability and want to do so.
So far as high and preparatory
school material is concerned, the
writer suspects that the Navy appeals
more strongly than the Army to the
youthful imagination However this
may be, it is a fact that when il
comes to drawing qualified secondary
school foot ball material West Point

is an open question whether or not
West Point could have had any
elevens worthy of serious considera

not been for the college element in
the corps of cadets. And since this
element has always been so large, pro

West Point see no reason why it has
