...government has embarked upon a new policy of securing officers for our army. The system of irregular training schools held only when conditions demanded has been replaced by a plan involving a series of camps, which will begin every month and which will largely depend, for enrolment, upon members of the S. A. T. C. The problem of officering our rapidly increasing military forces has long been a grave one; the extension of the draft ages has made it all the more serious. The new system offers a definite method of solving the problem, and as such deserves the strong...
Since the last of June, I have been in this sector, and while I cannot tell you exactly where I am, I can at least tell you that immediately north of me the Boches have been running like hell for three weeks. About midnight on the 14th of last month, the Germans started this drive in our sector, and never have I heard such a barrage.

Yale, with an advantage of 15 pounds per man, came out the winner, but only by half a length...
...order of the University crew will be the same as a month ago in the race with Princeton on Lake Carnegie, but several important shifts have been made in the list of Yale rowers. Price, who pulled No. 6 in the race with Pennsylvania, has been succeeded by Austin of the second crew, while Vail, No. 7, and Mead, No. 3, have exchanged seats...
