...battalion from the service. All of which would seem to lead to the conclusion that our negro soldiers are a disgrace to the service. Nothing is farther from the truth. The work of the colored troops in the last, Mexican affair was nothing short of marvelous; they bore the brunt of the fighting and acquitted themselves gloriously. The negro cavalry is equal to the best we have in the Army, and the War College cavalrymen stationed at Plattsburg during the summer of 1916 were a source of admiration to every student. A captain in this same 24th Infantry told...
Kerensky's announcement that Russia was worn out by the strain of war and had resolved to leave the brunt of the fighting to her Allies came as a thunderbolt yesterday morning. And although by the afternoon it appeared that Russia was not making a separate peace, yet so unfounded and unjust were most of the charges made against France and England as to cast grave doubts upon Kerensky's sincerity and loyalty.

...date show that it will be somewhat unbalanced; stronger in the track than in the field events. In the short sprints there will be Captain E. A. Teschner '17, who has won first place against Yale in both dashes the last two dual meets. He will bear the brunt of the work, but will be helped out by W. Moore '18 and H. C. Flower '19, who won the 100 and 220-yard events in the 1919 meet with Yale...
