SAYS CANADIAN OFFICER
CAN ADIAN LIEUTENANT DESCRIB-
ES (RONT LINE TRENCH LIFE
IN TETTER TO STUDENT
Accurate descriptions of living- con-
ditions in the front line of trenches
are given in a letter to a University
student\ from a Canadianized Sammie
who has been fighting in France ever
since war was declared.
The letter, which was somewhat
delayed by censorship, and incorrect
address, follows:
France, Sept. 10, 1917.
My Dear Cousin:-At present we
are in the front line trenches. I have
been out two months now on my sec-
ond tour and I certainly like it, and
intend to stick to it for the duration
of the war.
Patrols Active On Canadian Front
Patrolling has been rather active
on our front lately, but we get the
best of it. The Germans will not fight
when in close 'quarters. A chap who
was on our right tells a good tale of
a patrol. His battalion had sent a
strong patrol out recently to meet a
Boche patrol. Our patrol let Fritz come
right in, then got behind him-and
here is what the "chap in the front line
trench told me that he heard: "Throw
up your hands you-." The answer
was, "Kameraad! Kameraad!" The
The result was that the bunch were
all taken prisoners.
The Canadian patrol was expect-
ing a chase patrol from Fritz, so
they waited, and succeeded in captur-
ing them also.
Americans Too Careless
I have seen some of your home
unit. They are magnificient physi-
cally, but I cannot say any more. I
imagine they'll be like us after a few
trips in the line. They'll adapt them-
selves wonderfully and after one trip
'over the top"'they will pay more
heed to the principles of warfare and
not be so careless like so many; es-
pecially on the first trip over the
bags.
I am going out tonight with a party
to fix up some damaged trenches and
we will get soaked as it will be -rain-
ing. I will be out until 3 o'clock in
the morning and return unable to re-
move anything except my coat. The
only thing to do is to cover myself
with sandbags and go to sleep.
Sandbags are a wonderful institu-
tion. They are made of hemp and
are used to build dugouts, but they
have a thousapd and one other uses
and I will tell you of a few.
Sandbags Used For Many Things
First, when one is cold, a number
of them used as a cover are the warm-1
est coverings one ever slept under. If
your feet get wet, pull two or more
bags over each foot and lie down for
a few hours. Your feet soon become
warm and dry. As a towel for the
hands, it is unequalled. When your
steel hel-met shines, owing to flares a
sandbag covering solves the difficulty.

HOUSE HEADS DECLARE FOR
INFORMAL J-HOP OR NONEt
All-Campus Rules For Women Say
10:00 o'clock Closing Hour
During Week
Either an informal Junior hop or,
none'at all was the resolution passed
by the judiciary council of the Wom-
en's league and the house heads at a
joint meeting yesterday.-
Universal house rules for girls
were considered at the meeting, and
it was decided that every women's
house should have a scholarship com-
mittee, a house sanitarium, and a
method of registering week-end and,
out-of-town engagements. The 10 o'-1
clock closing hour is now a law with
the exception of Friday and Saturday,
nights when the closing hour will be
10:30 o'clock.
A complete set of rules to be drawn
up by a committee will be presented1
before the next joint meeting, which2
is to form the all-campus house rules
for women.

"Shall fraternities at Brown be per-
mitted to have dining rooms in their
own quarters," is the subject on
which undergraduates of Brown uni-
versity will debate for the 1880 contest
this year.
Ohio State university has 890 stu-
dents less than last year. The agricul-
tural and engineering departments
suffered the greatest loss.
Student directories at Ohio State are
selling for ten cents a copy.
Ohio State university aviators are to
have the best equipped barracks in
the United States. Plaster-board on
the walls and linoleum on the floors
are two of the luxuries. The quarters
are being built with a view to turn-
ing them into freshmen dormitories
after the war.
Five girls of Ohio State university
have organized- an orchestra to play
for dances, the proceeds of which will
go to the Y. W. C. A.
Girls of Arizona university cook-
ing classes will endeavor to serve
breakfast for ten cents a person as ai
experiment in food economy. Each stu-
dent is to serve her own breakfast
one day of the week. Later the al-
lowance will be raised a little week-
ly.
Sixty men reported for basketball
at Cornell's first practice. Nine are
last year's veterans.
The Minnesota Daily was asked re-
cently to secure a woman correspond-
ent to supply campus news to a form-
er student with the troops in Texas.
Many of the women students are doing
their bit by cheering the Sammies in
this way.
Professors and students of the Uni-
versity of Kansas have petitioned the
student council to convert part of the
campus valley into a golf course. This
recreation would serve as a possible
substitute for gymnasium work.
Ohio State university will have an
informal junior prom this year as the
result of a decision reached by the
students and faculty in an attempt
to economize. Fraternities have con-
sented to abolish early semester danc-
es. The proceeds of the prom will be
given to the "Y" war fund.
Harvard students who wish to join
the army or navy may take their mid-
year examinations early in January
instead of in February. This decision
will enable seniors who enlist to grad--
uate.
Co-eds of Oregon university have r-
fused to leave their campus beaux for
members of the marine corps. A
recruiting advertiser asked the girls
to act for the movies by deserting
their student admirers for passing
marines. Everything went as sched-
uled but the women kept walking
with the students rather than leave
them for the navy men. So the film did
not materialize.
Parties and dinners at Kansas uni-
versity have been limited in number
and extent this year. Students have
voluntarily adopted wartime meas-
ures.
Purdue faculty .men will speak at.
fraternity and sorority meetings .dur-
ing. the year. Illustrated talks and
lectures are to be parts o1 the pro-.
grams.
Illinois university has reached ttie
quota set in its Y. M. C. A. campaign
two days before the time set. The
sum expected was $20,000 but $30,000'
will probably be obtained..
The annual Army-Navy game will
not be played this year, according to-
the Daily Illini. No reason has been
given.
Eyesore, a building which for some
time has been a blotch on the land-
scape to the students of Oberlin, re-'
cently burned down while the male
population of the school looked on ap .

The Literary Critic.Says
THE VISION SPLENDID, by John Ox-
enham. George H. Doran Co., N. Y.
"Here-or hereafter-you shall see it
ended,
This mighty work to which your souls
are set;
If from beyond, then with the vision
splendid
You shall look back, and never know
regret."
It is rather wonderful in these days
to stumble on someone who regards
the war as an honor -which we should
thank God it is our privilege to share,
but such is the spirit of John Oxen-
ham's book of war- poems, "The Vision
Splendid." He considers the war nec-
essary to make us see that we are
helpless if we forget to count on
God. "The wheels of life," he says in
his introduction, "were skidding on
the greasy ways of our wealth and
ease. We were leaving God out"
Now our opportunity is here, and it
is for us to prove that our prosperity
has not been our demoralization. He
reminds us that the greatest world,
tragedy of all-the crucification-end-
ed in what seemed to be an absolute
failure, but what has become life's
greatest gain.
It is doubtful whether John Oxen-
ham's name will go down through the
ages with those of the great poets.
There are many who will never hear
of him, or who, if they chance to pick
up a volume of his verses, will find
much to criticise, and little of merit.
But there will always be many who
will take his writings for what they
are-the sincerest utterances of a
man who believes in the victorious
Cross, who sees beyond the -horrible
carnage of the present, knowing that
for anything worth having there is al-
ways a price,-that the fact that the
price we are paying is so enormous is.

turn.
