the new regulatoins, howveer.

Tile President says that every manshould be put in that position whichlie is lnost capable of filling, and forthis purpose the the Selection Boardsare wvorlkin-. These Boards lawve ren-dlered a1 Ilout paraisew-orthy service tothe eomiltry,. their wvorks has gone ontinder the pressure of immiediate neces-sitv andl ivith. nilanv sacrifices. Butthe thlin-s thee have done is bult one-tnlthl of wxhat remains to be done, toealrry thrloulgh the classification swviftlyrandl aeculratel-.v.

Tile PIresi(Ient sprites as follows:I-The task of mlobilizing the first con-tin;,ent, of the N~ational Army nearscompletion. Tile swiftnless ill assenil-1blingr tile macllilery for its execution,llowever, left roomn for improvemlentIandi adjUStl2enlt. Tilere is ]10 change in the essential obligation of the mensubject to selection under the new reg-uelations, though, and the first draftstands unaffected b)X tile new provi-sions. i i

' Tlle tihne has come for a more per-fect organization of our man power.Wile must make a complete inventoryof the qualifications of all registrantsin order to determine the place inwvhielh the experience and training ofthe individual may best serve the com-mnon good. This project invrolves aninquiry by the Selectioll Boards intothe qualifications of somne ten millionIlen..

''Members of these boards Slave ren-dered a conspicuotis service. Yet theserviees of men trained. by the ex-perienees of the first draft must ofnecessity be retained and the Selec-tiOnl Boards must prov-ide the direct-ill"' Diehanlisml for the llew^ classifica-tiOII. The thing they have done is ofscarcely one-tenth -#e--magnitude sof-the thing that remains t o be done. Itis of great importance to our militaryand economic interests that the classi-fication be carried swviftly and accur-ately to a conluetsion. An estimate ofthe tilne 1lecessary leads to the conclu-sion that it can be accomplished insixty (lays; but only if this greatmlarshaling of men is recgarded by allas a national wvar undertaking of suchsianificance as to compel the assistanceand attention of ev ervr American.

"I call UpoII all citizens, therefore,to assist Local and District Boards byproffering such service and such inate-rial convelliences as they can offer andbyr appearing before thle Boards to givesuch information as whill be useful inclassifying eregments. Finally, I askthat in the thnle specified as markingthe sixte day period of classification,all citizens give attention to the taskin hand in order that. the process mayp oceed~ to a conclusion with swiftnessanl v-et wvithl even and considerate jus-tice to all."

THE CRAM COURSES

T HE action which the Faculty has taken to enable the men ofthe Sophomore and Junior classes to finish their Unork in ad-vance. of the scheduled time gives the mnen an opportunitv

which they shotlld appreciate. There is no doubt that if this actionhad not been taken, many of the members of the two classes inquestion would have to leave the Institute before obtaining theirdegrees. The proposed plan will in no way materially reduce theaniount of work to be done, it will merely shorten the time at whichthe students will be awRayr from their books.

The Faculty has opened a lane for the conscientiotls worker tocomplete his work, but it has not made it possible for the studentkvh~o simply drifts along to -et through with the others. If any aregoiii- about with a deluded idea that the cram courses will mean theprocuring of a deg~ree with less effort than usual, they wtill sooner orlater come to a realization of the fact that on the contrary, the newcourses will mean harder wtork, and lots of it. It is advisable for allwhto contemplate taking the courses to beg-in with a realization ofthe facts and weaste no time in gettin'g settled. Now is the time tostart working so that swolen action is ultimately taken, there will beno delay because of present wxorkQ which has not been completed.'Those men who hlave conditions to remove will do well to buckledowen and have as many as possible removed by the end of the firstterm.

WVe are all wrorkin-, under stress. but that should be an incentiveto harder work. W\ith the end of the first term only four wreeks off,the mid-year examinations be-in to loom up before us. There stillprobably be little time for the cramming, usually attendant at thistimne, and a little cramming nowv will obviate the necessity of muchworry and work just before the examinations.

FRESHMAN HOCKEY

x ARSITY hockey has been discontinued for the ensuing seasonvby the Advisory Coulncil on Athletics, after a consideration of

the existing conditions. It is hoped, h1ownever. that Tech-nology will be represented in hockey by a freshman team. It isalmost unnecessary to say that such a plan wrill be a failure unlessit has the' whole-hearted support of the utnderg~raduate body, butespecially that of the first ycar class. There is a wtealth -of materialat the Institute from which an excellent freshman hockey team canbe formed. The first wear men are not in the' position of the tipper-classmen. They havre the time, which many of the upperclassmenwxould be at a loss to find, to devote to hockey. Here is an excellentopportunity for the freshmen to keep Illstitute athletic activitiesfrom backsliding entirely. A good freshman hockey team -%vill be acause of gratification to the majority of undergraduates.

Announcement is made tllat informal dances will be laeld at theWlalker Memorial on Saturday evenings tinder the auspices of theInstitute Committee. This procedure will undoubtedly meet withthe approval of the undergraduates and a series of successful socialgatherings may lbe expected. The recent Dormitory Dance wlas anexample of how successft1l Stlch informal dances may be. The thanksof the student bodvs will -o to the Institute Committee for in-a~ll-urating a plan ws Rich will provide this Satutrday evening diversion.

The Tech takes pleasttre in announcing the election of A. D.H-arvrey '21 as First Assistant ANdvertisin-b '-,anaqer, and R. IP.

AVindischl '20 as First 'Assistant Tr-eastorer. 'None of the SecondAr-;i~stant Adlvertisin-: 'Vaina-ers were droppeds.

East Thur-day a meetingl was heldof freshinan interested in the forma-tionl of a hockey team. V'arsity hockeyhas been discontinued this year at theInstitute by order of the Advisory Com-nlittce. However, the formation of afreshman team has been approved onthe condlition that it be supportedwholly by the class of 1921.

If the team materializes, a scheduleof five or six tames may be arranged.A - ani wvith Exeter is certain, whilenFames ivithl the Tufts, Harvard, andIDIartimilth freshman can be arranged.There is no lacke of material for aIgood teami and if the freshmen willstand backi of them financially, thereis no reason wVhl\ the llock~ey teals willnot liave, a siieeessftil season. It willrequlire abouti one llundredl and fiftydollars to lout the season tllrougll.

TECHNOLOGY'S- DONATIONS1 TO THE FIGHTIING FORCES

There are probably few who realizethat the Institute is represented inevery branch of the Government warservice by more than thirty-two hun-dred of its former students, all skilled.engineers, many of them in most im-portant positions. Of this numberabout twelve hundred are in khaki,while the rest are en-aged in industrialwork connected with the war.

Commissions have come quite rapidlyto the Teclmology graduates, and a

|number of the heads of departmentsandl members of the instructing staff

]have thus been distinguished. One ofthe latest of these is Professor S. C.

|Prescott, of the Department of Biology|andl Public Healthl, who holds a com-| mission as major in the food division|at the Armyr Sanitary Corps. IL W.|Hamilton 7I, who has been an assist-IanIt in the salve department at the In-|stitutc, has also been commissioned allieultelant in the Armyl Sanitary Corps.

A recent appointment, and one that}lhas bteen given to only one other col-l ete professor in the land, has comue to|\Villiaml H. \Aralker, Professor of Chem-ical Eno-ineerin-t and Director of theiSchool of Engineering Practice, who is1 nowX coulmissiolled lieutenant-colonel in|the Chlemical Corps, U.

has--been given the dommission-Of moor~iin the Signal Corps. -He is now onleave from the Institute. ProfessorRiley is one of the beat informed ofexperts on internal combustion engines.

A demand has been made by the Gov-

ernment on another department ofTechonology and A. S. Smith, Superin-tendent of Buildings ana Power, al-ready commissioned as captain in the

Reserve Engineer Corps, has been called

to duty. He will be attached to theNortheastern Division, with headquar-ters at present in Boston. His duties

|wlill wsill be carried on by his assistant,M 3r. F. G. Hartwell.

ADVANCE BATTALION

(Continued from pate 1)in recent attacks, the rapidity has beenlo\vered to thirty yards per minute.Tile only communication between theattacking troops and the artillery isby means of airplanes. These planestransmit signals from the assaultingtroops to the batteries in the rear, tell-ing when and wliere the fire is needed.

''WThen the first-line Germnan positionshave been taken, another phase of thefiqllting be-ins. While the main bodyof troops continues its advance, specialletaelluents of men, called by the Brit-ish 'moppers-up,' proceed to 'clean' thetlenches, killing or capturing all of theenemv who reuain. This 'cleaning' ofcaptured trenches is necessary, in orderto prevent the Germans who -%ere notkilled or captured in the first assaultfrom firing on the advancing Frenchfronm tle rear. The killing of two orthiree nien by firing from the rear willlower thle morale of the attackers morethan the leaviest losses caused by fir-ing from the front.

.'After the assault and the 'cleaning'of file captured positions, comes thelast phlalse of the attack-the organiza.]tion of suIpplies and the evacuation ofthe wvoundled.''l
