Roosevelt will visit Harvard Uni

special alumni ceremonies symbolic
ing the unity of Great Britain and

addresses to the Alumni Association
in the afternoon, together with
DR.. James B. Conant, president of

The Monitor said Lord Halifax
would receive an honorary degree.
Harvard policy is to keep secret

until the day they are presented.
President Roosevelt received an
honorary degree from Harvard in
1929 on the 25th reunion of his
Harvard class. He was Governor
of New York at the time. Several

porting an unofficial suggestion
at Camp Hunter to use real
bullets in the proportion of l to

This remarkable proposal
recalls the blind assaults which
American troops made in their
first engagements in the World
War" the paper observed in
commenting on the purpose of
the proposal-to make the
American soldier scramble for
cover even in sham battle.
United States Army officers
at Camp Hunter, Liggett, Calf,
were disclosed yesterday to be
discussing unofficially the pos
sibility of using "a little live
ammunition" in mock war to
train soldiers to use utmost
caution in protecting them
selves. A proportion of ! to
10000 was suggested.

portions of the historic Charterhouse
were burned out in recent German
air raids.
Two fire-watchers were killed
when a bomb fell on the Duchy of
Cornwall Offices just across the road
from the palace.
Bombs falling in the palace yard
uprooted a tree and blasted out the
windows of the court postofflce and
other rooms on the south side, all
of which had been repaired after
previous damage.
The Charterhouse great hall, con-
sidered one Of the finest Elizabethan
rooms in existence, was damaged
badly by fire.
Only smoked and cracked walls
remain of the tapestry room, in
which Queen Elizabeth and James I
had resided as visitors. The Char
terhouse cloiSter lies in water soaked
ruin. Amid the rubble, almost I'M
damaged, are tablets to John WeS-
ley and Roger Williams, who were
once among the students of the
