F., commandant of the Dartmouth Battalion, and author of the British war novel "Crumps," when interviewed by a CRIMSON reporter recently. "If the country relies upon each person doing his bit, we will lose the war. It is necessary for every man, woman and child in the Allied nations to do his and her utmost--and then some, if we are to be victorious...
Unlike a first-class flivver, speed is to be the prime requisite, for to catch the elusive U-boat one must be able to sail circles around it.

Horween tried at drop kick from the 35-yard mark, but the kick was short...
...Catastrophe is the catch word in Russia at the present time," said Dr. R. H. Lord '06, at the meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club in Phillips Brooks House last evening, as he was describing the impressions he gained of the Russian situation during his stay there last summer. "The country was on the very verge of political ruin and economic collapse. The army wouldn't fight, the workmen wouldn't work, and the government couldn't govern.
