...letter received from George H. Nettleton. Secretary of the American University Union in Europe, word has come that within three weeks of the opening, men from 84 different American colleges have registered at the Union. The quarters secured at the Royal Palace Hotel are already over-crowded and additional lodgings are being provided elsewhere at an adjacent hotel. The central location and excellent facilities offered have already proved very attractive to college men in active service when on furlough in Paris or passing through the city...

But will the average New Yorker recognize his most famous thoroughfare again after such a sudden transformation by elimination of the mining-camp excavations, the derricks and littered side-walks?

Can you imagine anything more wonderful than coming in, after being out in the enchase for days, perhaps, cold, wet, and hungry, and being given a nice hot cup of cocoa with a word of greeting? I cannot tell you what an impression this sight made on me, but it surely made my heart ache. Having seen the battle from the start, I could not help comparing it with the evolution of a football game. All preparations were made for the start...
