In your government to accept rumors too easily. "The English accuse us of having suggested partition with Holland in exchange of her neutrality. Such charges are beneath contempt and demonstrate the righteousness of our cause and the wickedness of our enemies. "you Germans also are spreading rumors of victories and defeats such as the German occupation of Belfort and the destruction of French regiments wholesale. "Everything will be published at the proper time and we have given our word that nothing shall be exaggerated and nothing minimized. "Few except those who are experienced in warfare can know of or show with what difficulties victories are -won."

This advance was made by American wholesale dealors, showing hat advantages arc taken In a crisis of this kind.

Professor Fred Donaghy is making a survey of the sanitary conditions of Vincennes, especially in* regard to the water supply and drainage. Recently he was appointed to this position by the state department of health and has since that time been commended highly for his efficient service. Mr. Donaghy, together with. Harvey Stork, won fellowships at Indiana university, where they will take up their work this fall as candidates for the higher degrees.

One of the recent features of the State Normal schbol is the college course which has had a remarkable and steady growth s!nce its inauguratlon rome five or six years ago. In last year's graduating class there were some thirty graduates from this course and next year's class will nearly double this, according to calculations. The time seems to be near at hand when this course v/ill be the' most popular of all the courses offered by the school. Many former Normal coursc graduates have re-entered Normal in order tO take advantage of this course, as its degree is considered equivalent to that offered by most of the colleges in the middle west and is especially adapted to the teaching profession.

Professor Charraan, of the educational department, has for the past three summer terms offered a course !n school problems which may-be taken by graduating seniors who have had experience, instead of practice .II which has proved very popular.- As a feature of this course the students are asked to write, as a thesis, an educational creed, and some of these are being read in class.

Professor Westphal says that he has his varsity team in all readiness for the contest with the Walk-Overs this afternoon. This game will likely be the last game of this kind played on Parsons field this summer and a large crowd of Nortnalites is expected to atteld. Other games will be played, however, between teams comprising the Summer league, beginning next week.

The iinnual catalogle and bulletin of announcements fcr Normal was distributed yesterday. The catalogue shows that a number of new courses have been added to the curriculum, especially to meet the needs of vocational students. The announcements shew that the terms next year will begin one week later than this year, which will make it better for those teachers who will re-enter next spring after a year's teaching.
