What interests us is the fact that Germany will now be able to import raw materials of every kind and that she will shift at least a million men from Russia to the other fronts. This means a tremendous addition in power to the offensive which is bound to come this spring,--it means that the German pressure on all fronts will be greater than it has been since 1914. Our answer must be immediate; we must do more than balance the Kaiser's hordes. The less we think and sigh about poor Russia, the sooner will be brought about...
...informals would be without the services of R. E. Gross '19 in the game this evening. Supplanting him at right centre will be H. F. Gibbs '20, who has been substituting at the position during the absence of the captain and acting coach. An eleventh-hour decision may shift A. H. Bright '19 from right wing to strengthen the left of the forward line, in which case either E. Van R. Stires '20 or J. S. Higgins '20 will occupy the place left vacant by the change...

Primarily, of course, it will economize coal; the eventual result will be for all undergraduates to get up and go to bed an hour earlier, and thereby to substitute an hour of inexpensive sunlight for expensive kilowatts and calories. Then, too, if Mr. Storrow's program is followed there will be fewer reasons for late hours than formerly--and "early to bed and late to rise" would surely be an ill advised principle, although the fuel administration may seem to advocate...
...Boston sailors yesterday had the usual light workout following a game. No new players reported, but it is probable that there will be shifts in the make-up of the team before the end of the week. Butler is likely to shift from centre to end, thereby allowing Coach Leary to use A. Horween '20 in the line at centre...
John T. Murray, the star gazer, didn't over-play, in spite of a temptation. And the really lively role of the show was that of John Harwood. He was the green grocer last year in "Getting Married," and the shift from Shavianism to Shubertism did not curb his artfulness. If the librettist, Cosmo Hamilton, will work as hard at revision as Harwood did at the premiere, "The Star Gazer" may discover an orbit for itself on Broadway...
