...third phase of the war began on July 1, when, with the armies of France, the finest troops in the world, the British went over their parapets on the 16-mile Some front. When the winter hardens the water-covered fields of northern France, we will undoubtedly hear some more news from that front, when the 'big push' starts again and restores Belgium and the northern provinces to their rightful owners...
Captain Beith was just under the maximum age limit for enlistment at the outbreak of the war and immediately enrolled in the Tenth Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, which went into training at Aldershot in the fall of 1914. The regiment remained in training for six months and were finally sent to the front in the spring of 1915 as members of the first detachment of England's volunteer army. Captain Beith's ability and courage soon won him a commission and he rose rapidly to the rank of captain. He has recently been granted a furlough by the British...

...gift of these American mothers, whose heart thus goes to France, is an amazing thing. France is not their country. As the world goes, they are not compelled to make a sacrifice for her. But they make it, for very much the same reason that Richard Hall went to France because they "want the reassurance" of having met a world-crisis, a mighty and commanding test of right and wrong, even with the fullest sacrifice, if necessary, that a mother could offer. As Christmas comes on, we fancy that many a fire will be lighted in many an American fireplace...
...programs at 50 cents apiece were sold with a profit to one man of $30 and a profit to no man of less than $5. The entire editing and distribution of the programs were in the hands of students and none of the money from the sale of them went out of the undergraduate body except that which was paid to the printer and the engraver. Many students took advantage of the commission offered on the sale of Pictorials and Tigers. The Princeton Athletic Association has helped the Bureau greatly by employing students for ticket-takers and ushers...
