...Army Quartermaster Corps found its rationing problems simplified. General Knisgern, Zone Supply Officer, stationed at Chicago, was especially pleased, placed his contracts intelligently, cautiously. He wanted a steady supply of food for the armies, wanted high quality (had his own corps of inspectors to make doubly sure), wanted it packed according to military needs and specifications...
...river, the water seemed yesterday to be clear enough for the appearance of the shells. Coach Stevens and Coach Haines, however, expressed themselves as uncertain last night as to whether the regular crews would be able to go cut.

Mr. Mowbray as the cynic who tries to "Scotch the snake" of life has excellent moments, due perhaps to his possessing the nicest lines of the play. Yet he fails to maintain the consistency of Prior's character by ranting at times...
