...surely as favoritism can never be the basis of military organization, partisanship has no place in the war councils of any nation. In recognizing this fact, England and France have established their coalition cabinets and have made merit the determining factor in all appointments to office. Since a year ago last April, the question of politics in our national Government has been foremost in the public mind. Leaders of Congress and the press have not been slow to lay charges of partisanship at the administration's door. It is under such conditions that the events of the last weeks have...
...brought with it great burdens and has increased everyone's activity. Men in College today are busier than they were a year ago; they are taking more courses and military training, and are indulging in far more outside work. It is for this very reason, perhaps, that they found the war so convenient a means evading and half-heartedly accomplishing tasks which they are called upon to perform.

Human nature is far from infallible...

The latter pitched excellent ball against the Portland Naval Reserve a week ago, holding his opponents to four hits, and had it not been for poor support, might have scored a shut-out. With this change, the lineup today will be the same which met the Navy Yard last week...
