Cadets not wearing uniforms at the
drills must submit an excuse to their
top sergeant, according to.a statement
issued yesterday by the military au-
thorities. This does not prohibit the
men from drilling, but is merely the

which were issued several days ago.
Cadets are advised by the authorities
to comply to paragraph one of the or-
ders.
Several dozen standard hand gre-
nades were received by Dr. George
A. May yesterday afternoon. They are
similar to those used at the different

work. Dr. May is also considering
the possibility of a number of grenade
throwing contests, which will cover
every phase of the art.

PROF. MEADER SAYS RUSSIA
IS NOT YET OUT OF THE WAR
Declaring that Russia is not yet
out of the war by any means, Prof.
Clarence L. Meader of the literary cel-
lege, explained to the freshman engin-
ers at their assembly yesterday, how
Russia's armies are still fighting on
one front, and continue to be an im-
portant factor in the Dar as an aid to
the Allies.
"People forget, in times like these,
the great aid that Russia rendered in
the early part of the war," said Pro-
.fessor Meader, "her armies contri-
buted more than half toward the'sav-
ing of Paris when the Germans were
within 20 miles of its gates. Had it
not been for the withdrawal of the
German forces, made necessary by
Russia's great drive in the east, there
is no doubt that the Huns would have
gone straight through to Paris."
"It was the collapse of the Russian
army that caused the revolution, not
the revolution that caused the collapse
of the army. The men fought on in
spite of treachery, among officers and'
even among court officials. The Czar
himself was 99 per cent Geramn and
married to a German, while his min-
ister of war was a pronounced sym-
pathizer.
"It was this condition of affairs that,
finally brought about the collapse of
the army's fighting power, and, after-
ward, the revolution."

"Even if the war continues for
years, the enrollment of women in the
University will never be more than
one quarter of the whole enrollment,
or in other words, there will always
be three men for every woman in.the
collegestsaid Registrar Arthur G.
Hall yesterday.
"In the literary college the men are
still in the majority, but if the war
continues the enrollment of the two
sexes will, within a few years, be

brings the enrollment of men up every
year, as most of the newcomers are
under draft age."
