superior to our down the river rivals as predicted in the brown and white last week the game was won by the team receiving the most benefit from the breaks which largely went lafayette's way miller

the team from yale on taylor field yale is not a member of the southern di vision of the intercollegiate la crosse league so it will not bear upon the championship the lehigh lacrosse team has shown

later in an extra period game showed fine form by trimming perm 5-1 lehigh has played yale in the last few years and has beaten them several times yale fell before her last contestant stevens with a 5-2 score but they played a hard peppy game so lehigh can expect a good fight after this game there is left johns hopkins to play this game which will be played at johns hop kins will decide the

week the committee professor f p mckibben of the civil engineering department who has been lecturing at nearly all of the important colleges and uni versities all over the united states for the united states shipping board emergency fleet corpora tion has decided not to lecture here as he had formerly planned his complete lecture however will be printed here for the benefit of all those interested during his travels prof mckibben has persuaded and enrolled 2700 men to work in the various ship yards and construction plants in this country an applica tion blank for this purpose will be found elsewhere in this issue the lecture as presented to colleges and universities of america is as fol lows : do you want your brother or son to fight the central powers on european soil unless he be properly supplied with the many essentials necessary to do his share in the world war for america to win we must be amply equipped in three important departments — first production of supplies here in america ; second transportation across the seas and to the battle front in europe and third a well trained army which when it wants a field gun or a high explosive shell locomotive or a tooth brush an aero plane or a loaf of bread will have these things at the place and at the time they are wanted we have the production here in america well in hand i see at the various canton ments in our own beloved country 500,000 to 1,000,000 young men in training to do their part in this vast undertaking we have therefore two of the important links in the chain — production and the army but where is the third link — ships constituting the element of trans portation ? our army is not yet in france it is commonly supposed that america's air fleet will be the final and decisive instrument ap plied to overcome the central powers in germany in 1913 i heard similar remarks concerning germany's zeppehn squadron in connection with an attack on eng land and although germany has aggravated england by zeppelin raids she has had the same prob lem which we will have when our aeroplane service is ready in either case the seas must be crossed a^id our aeroplanes must cross in s^ips for they cannot fly across the atlantic it is clear then that ships sftps and more ships constitute one of the three essentials to under rate the importance of any one of these three divisions of our organi zation will prove fatal when the great drive comes over there until recently the need of pro ducing our merchant ships in time has been all but overlooked ' ' how many merchant ships are needed to supply our army of one million men on french soil as suming that each day every man re quires 150 pounds of supplies to maintain him and his lines of com munication 75,000 tons of supplies must be sent to france daily at the rate of speed at which ships can be unloaded in france the equiva lent of 70 ships will be in french ports all the time also 70 in ameri can ports loading and 420 on the high seas eastbound to europe laden with supplies and the same number westbound to america un loaded ; a total of 980 ships allow ing six ships lost each week throughout the year we obtain a total of 1300 ships to maintain an army of one million men why do we need to send an army to france ? because we love | france because we are firmly con jvinced that liberty is the sweetest thing in the world and because we know that our liberty hangs in the balance if the pan-german plot succeeds the pan-german plot ' ' what is pan-germanism ? it is the foreign policy promoted by the ruling power in germany backed by millions of her inhabitants the pan-german plot laid as early p 1895 has steadily grown until the pan-german party aims at nothing less than the domination of the en tire world pan-germanism has been clearly set forth in a book by otto richard tannenberg pub lished in leipsig in 1911 under the title the greater germany the work of the 20th century the backbone of the scheme lies in the accomplishment of the hamburg to the persian gulf project — that is the control of all teritory from hamburg on the north sea to the continued on third page on a rain-soaked diamond and before one of the smallest crowds of the year lehigh was shut out by swarthmore wednesday after noon on taylor field by a score of 3-0 the game was fast and well played in spite of the adverse wea ther conditions i the pitching of ogden was the deciding factor in the game as he held the brown and white hitters to three scattered hits and always tightened up with men on bases mould was in the box for lehigh and also pitched a good game donovan was indisposed and did not play saxman taking his place at short-stop pfeiffer was saved for saturday's contest with lafayette swarthmore got off to a two run lead in the opening inning on two hits and a sacrifice fly one out white singled to center took se cond on a passed ball and scored on carris hit to center after cornog had walked the play at the plate on white was close but keady called the runner safe cornogtook third on the hit and scored on carer's long sacrifice fly to mathag mould then held the visitors safe until the seventh when ogden scored all the way from first on ejatzenbach s drive to center field saxman handled the relay poorly allowing the run to score outside these two innings mould had little trouble in retiring the visitors,but his team-mates could do little with the pitching of ogden lehigh had good chances 1 to score in the first and second innings savaria opened the first with a single to center saxman walked and mathag advanced the runners a base ogden then fanned beck and dorkin with men on second and third in the second wysocki singled back of second with one out and herrington drew a pass but ogden again
