PHONE 2446-J DHMOIVIIVI IUU bR LLUMJ 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. Lieut. J. J. Cavanaugh, 24 Canadians B. E. F., France. 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. for Lum- Interior ires, and' "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 . preciatively.

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. but God's promise of a greater re- turn.
