What They TRhintk of

The War Time TechParis, Aug. 15.

My dear Mr. Leonard:-Inasmuich-as theraid:,:,es-vs ofemein

in service over here are constantlyshifting, it will be necessry to havethe copies of The Tech intended forthem sent directly to the club, asyou have been doing in the past, andI think therefore, that you hadbetter keep the club on your mail-ing list f or about 40 copies. Themen all read The Tech with greatinterest; for example, one of theboys wrote me as follows:

"Say it was good to get thatTech, I read every word of itforward and backward."Personally I feel that The Tech

is an inspiration to all of us whoare trying to do our bit in the greatstruggle, and it is especially help-ful because it co-ordinates all ofthe work beng done by alumni,students, 'he Faculty and the Insti-tute itself, and one appreciates thefact that everybody is carryingtheir share of the load, which makesit all the easier for all.

perhaps find it best in the obvious factthat technical schools ought to be ableto meet technicalities. To drop thepun promptly, it is plain that an en-i-neering sehool is under special advan-tage when it comes to filling those warreqluirements which directly involvemany problems of engineering and sci-enee. But it is good that Technologyshould be so well meeting this rightexpectation.

OUR RAILWAY MEN IN FRANCE

(From the Syracuse Post-Standard)The United States Government has

sent railway regiments to France, thecolonels of military training. the othercommissioned officers engineers chosenfrom civil life, the remainder railroadwork-men. How many men we have inthe railway service in France has notbeen disclosed, but there is reason tobelieve that the maintenance and repairand construction of French railways arenow largely in American hands.

We do knoa that the department hasplaced orders for 9000 cars for Amieri-can railroads in France in one week andeill contract for 8000 more. that it hasordered 75,000 kegs of spikes. 150,000tons of 8-pound steel rails and that itis seeking 2,000 tons of lighter rails forportable tracks.

WAR IS TERRIBLE!

THE passing of the chicken-wire offices in the basement ofin- one whicl housed Technology's student activitiesstrenuous year marks the end of an interesting epoch in

build-for aInsti-

lute life.To the activities the intimate contact and lack of privacy which

resulted froin the use of these temporary structures ceased to be in--conveniences and helped to breed a feeling of good-fellowship and co-Operation among the occupants, and the year I9I6-19I7 ended a suc-cessful one.

For the coming year the life of the undergraduates will be a diffi--cult one, with so much military preparation demanding the extra timeof the students and all the available room in the Institute buildings.The Walker Mlemorial will be filled to capacity with naval students,zand the space used last year must now be used for machinery of war.The activities which will continue during the war must be housedsomewhere; so the little wooden building on Massachusetts Avenue,formerly used by Stone and Webster, has been pressed into service.Mere The Tech will have its new home on the first floor. Room fortwo other offices is available in this building, but it is a problem-whether any activities will come forward to claim it.

V\ ar heas stimulated industry, engineering, and the turning out of-new engineers by technical schools. Whill war stimulate the under-graduate activities or will it have a deadening influence? It will beinteresting to see the production which will be turned out by under-,graduates during the first year of hostilities.

who have established employmentagencies for this purpose say that thereis an abundance of men to work, butthat the farmers are showing no co-operation. They will not agree to hirenien. they will not quote daily wagesto be paid; in fact they do not evenanswer letters. This causes the agentsto wonder if the farmers have beenbluffiing about their inability to securehelp and if it was not a game to securea flood of workers thereby loweringthe wages to be paid.

ARMY-NAVY GAME UNLIKELY

Cadets at West Point Engaged in VeryIntensive Military Training

WVASHINGDlONT, Aug. 30.-There islittle chance that the Army-Navy foot-ball game wvill be played this year.Newton D. Baker, Seeretary of Wmar,declares that be is opposed to bavingthe contest played even for the purposeof raising a war fund. There is somelikelihood that N~r. Baker Nvill allow thI Army to plav with teams other tlh;.wthat of the Navy. He will take up thequestion at West Point.

Mir Baker explained that the Army-Navy game bad been discussed by himw ith Secretary Daniels and ColonelPalmer Pierce, U. S. A., head of theNational Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion. The decision reached was that sofar- as West Point and Annapolis whereconcerned every ounce of energy oughtto be employed toward the prosecutionof the war, even at the telnporary sac -rifice of athletics.

At West Point, Secretary :Bakrer ex-plained, a system of very intensive mili-tary training has been initiated, whilearranaements are being, rushed to grad-uate two classes ahead. Mr. Baker alsopointed out that the feeling, betweenWest Point and Annapolis wvas natur-ally such that playing of the footballm~atch would involve much training andpreparation. He does not think thatthis energy should be devoted at thistimne, even for the advantage of raising awar fund.

ferlnidable in Europe- What have beenthe nation!s war losses cannot be esti-nated. Froll an army of nearly 500,.000 at the beginning of the war, overl,0.000 men are estimated to have beentiken prisoners from malnutrition inprison camps. Many thousands werelost in the retreat through Albania. Oftiie arms of 100,000 now on the Salon-ica front, about 60,000 are actual fight-ilg inen.

z~' mily Simmonds, -raduate ofEoosevelt Hospital, New York, who en-listedl in the Serbian Red -Cross in 1914.mliss qimmonds uTrges the dispatch of

f;l.clothing, bandages, blankets,seeds agricultural tools as wvell as ofdoctors and nurses. In her informalreport to the Red Cross she said

* There were only 400 doctors in allSSerbia at the beginning of the war, andtile, death rate has been hiigh. Six~tv(lied of typhus alone in January andFebruiary, 1915. There are 116 doctors,row)v in the army,. but only one dentist.Weomen doctors a-re especially neededfor maternity work in the villages. One:doctor in a small car could furnishnledieal supervision for several vil-hio-es. A& system of soup kitchens inthe villages is an absolute necessity, iffainine is not to make good its threatsthlis, winter."

ARMY TAEES OVER AMBULANCEAED TRANSPORT CORPS AT FRONT

PARIS, Aug. 28.-The Ameriean fieldservice, with 1,100 men in the ambu-lsnee branch and 800 in the transportbranch, is to be taken over by theAmerican army, the ambulance branchgoing under control of the medical ser-vice and the transport under that ofthe quartermaster. general.

The chief of the hospitalIposted the order after he. too, ha(lfailed to identify the culprits.

4.30 o'clock in the morning the flyersare up and at it, and flying continues }until 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon. Most lof the aviators are college men, whobefore coming, here take a six to eightweeks' course in theory at sonle scientific Ischool such as "Boston Tech;" then Icome here for the practical application.
