...recall and the name of a Turkish or Bulgaria or even an Austrian general? Of the German field commanders who are generals by professional attainment rather than because of birth, we remember hardly as many as half a dozen. There was von Kluck, for instance, who lost at the Marne, and there are von Buelow in Italy and Mackensen. Do you readily think of any more? Among the French such names as Foch and de Castelnau occur, but when recently the command of the French forces in Italy was assigned, presumably to an officer of merit, the name was entirely...

...have made plans. This is an era of camouflage. These sagacious upperclassmen will walk into Smith Halls Common Room tonight in the guise of Freshmen. They are powerful men, so we should like to give a word of advice to the Freshmen. If you wish a seat or even a place at Copey's reading tonight, be there early. Otherwise your big brothers will be in your appointed places...

...already a large number of standardized sister ships are in various stages of completion.

...they drive from our minds the trenches in Italy. In the attempt to create an allied general staff we see an endeavor for more efficient co-operation. While labor tends to eliminate its striking habits, and the new draftees, their awkwardness, we perceive the United States getting ever stronger. Even the most energetic pessimist, lately at the height of his powers, suffers a serious repulse. His old standby, the submarine campaign, will soon be useless. His discomfort and lack of subjects prevent our hearing how bad conditions are. Although the warnings of a true pessimist may spur...

...proud of their team. They plodded along day after day with scant encouragement, and when Snow and Church left they kept on without them. On Saturday they met their crucial test and did better than anyone expected. These men are not getting insignia, they are now dropping out of even the scant limelight focused on them. Yet as they go the CRIMSON wants to congratulate them: they never had the chance to meet Yale before a crowd of 50,000, but when the next. Yale game comes we only hope that the eleven men representing the University are built...
