Poteat leaves for China on August 16 to become a medical missionary there. lie opened his address with some figures on the enormous wastage in the preset t war, and called attention to the fact that the struggle was having an enor mous influence upon the religious side of humanity. "There has been a break in Mohammedanism such as never occurred before," he said, "so that the world is everywhere ripe for Christian in fluence." He urged his audience to realize that they should take a part in the christianizing and enlightening of the world. UNIVERSITY HOST TO TRAAINING CONFERENCE Representatives Attend From Twglve Colleges The State Y. M. C. A. Train ing Conference was held at the University March 24 26th.

C. in four stanzas, "To the Dreamers of Dreams." It is in the vein of Longfel'low's moral izing verse, and issimpleand un affected in language. 'fho lines have a gentle grace, tho they lack force. The story, ''Cross Questions and Crooked Answers," by M. K. McA., is an amusing sketch, i with good movement and some flavor of college life. "To 'Me Pal' represents Anon ymous as a sincere admirer of a girl he ought to call Miss Myrtle Gay. I)anner's "On the Altar of an Ideal," a story of patriotism, con tains a plot worth more careful working out than it has received. Jeter contribates a poem which shows him at home at last. As always, Jeter is musical and limpid and rather pale and love lorn. Andre George's "His Lady Love," the best piece of prose in the number, is a comedy of baf fled love written with a light touch. The declamatory essay, "De termination, " is an example of a style which a student with any ambition should unlearn as soon as possible. It shows many of the evil results of declamation contests. A ll is swollen language with very little content. The writer should read Calhoun and practice the eloquence of clear thought. In his poem, "The Start," T. L. Bailey has employed an un usual rine-order. The first stan za is beter than the other two, which change from poetry in to morality alone. R. C. Thorpson's Heinrick von Cowheid talks the German of the comic supplenment. HIs spelling is funny. "Twilight and You" is a senti mental poem, correct in meter and conventional in language. The story, "Edith Blair, " has more promise than performance. It has a touch of reality in its immaturity. The proof-reading is execrable as usual. L. P. (. Chemical Society Meets The Chemical Society at a busi ness meeting Thursday adopted the cons.titiution prepared by the committee with a few minor changes. The society will meet in Flinn Hall on the first and third Friday nights of each month. The program for the next meeting will be given out later. J. W. Weeks, a Citadel alum nus who also was on the border, has entered C'arolina to take his M. A. degrree. EXCURSION FARES VIA SOUTHERN R. R. SYSTEM From COLUMBIA, S. C.
