...sure, above the turbulent noises of war some fortunate countries heard the voice of a master. With the British armies reduced to the most extreme danger from lack of shells. England, appalled at the vastness of the problem baulked at the undertaking till she found, in her recently rejected Premier a breadth of vision and a driving force to inspire her disunited industrialism and in turn her thousand cities into one munitions factory. And later, when the Allies, disappointed of victory, by every other expedient, turned to that of unified command, by the will of the gods, they found...

With almost 750 of the country's premier track and field athletes entered in the intercollegiate track meet at the Stadium on Friday and Saturday of this week, it is impossible to predict with any certainty the outcome, that is the individual apportionment, of the 15 points in each of the 15 events. So many star performers are entered and so many of these stars have turned in results which point to them as possible point-winners that it is certain only that the competition will be as keen as last year and that the points will be as well...
