PROF. KILPATRICK TELLS OF RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE (Continued from Page One) The girl, whom Professor Kilpatrick refers to as having unusual capabilities. advised that they fall upon the order of fire and play dead. But Professor Kilpatrick thought this too dangerous, and instead, demanded his rights as an American citizen; telling of the danger of executing an Amer'can without trial. After some consideration he and his companions were spared and car ried on. They were given little food and less comforts. Tiring of having B.V.).'s as his only suit, the speaker said that he managed to scrape up a pair of trousers that were so much too large for him that he put his arms through the pockets and made a complete suit out of them. They were kept near the front and saw many battles, as well as the life of the troops. Finally, they were carried to head quarters. and first interviewed by a woman general, who advised sending the prisoners back. Next the three were taken in to the commanding generals (two generals were in charge of every army). Boudiny, (now head of all Bol shevist forces), and Voroschioly. '1'he% were invited to supper with the con manders, and there the three pris oners had the pleasure of the first square meal since capture. Professor Kilpatrick says, they then had a long and interesting talk, in which the pris oners asked as many questions as th, others. Neither commander could read or write with any facility. Both gen erals gave their reasons for success, one being that they often took part in the actual fighting themselves. They They were much influenced by "Stone wall' Jackson, and followed his tactics. The prisoners were then ordered t) Moscow, and started on the long jour ney by auto. The route lay through battlefields which. said the speaker, were the worst sights he ever saw. Miles after miles of dead men and horses unburied lying on the snow be cause the frozen ground could not be broken. A train was boarded in a once rich and prosperous city, but at that time, desolate and poor. All leaders met were anxious for a Bolshevist rev olution in the United State, and said, that it would conic. Here the girl was separated from them, and sent to another prison, from which she later escaped and walked hundreds of miles d'sguised as a boy soldier to Tiflis in Georgia. Finally she escaped from the country. l'rofessor Kilpatrick and his com panion were put in prison in Moscow; one of the most beautiful cities he had ever seen, said the speaker. After a trial, without jury, they were sentenced to death. Continously protesting the sentence, he declared that lie was an American citizen, guilty of no crime against Bolshevism. He was transfer red to a better and larger prison in which was confined the King of Khiva, and others of royal1 blood or high posi t.on. A\gain the prisoner was tried, and his senttenice changed to 20 years hard la-. bor, which lie said. w as sture (deathi. When lie claimed A\mierican citizenship, he was informed that his captors re cognized none but the law of the Bol shevist. Here he gave the Russian of ficial figures of the numbers executed by the B3olshevist government. A m'l lion and a half have p)aid the dleath penalty for plolit ical reasons. Again the prisoner was mlov'ed; this timie to a p)risoni hiospitalh. He toldl his audience of some interesting incidents wvhich occurred there. He miade friends w'th another Americani and a Russian pIrofessor who hadl been conidemned to dleathi by a girl judge eighteen years old. Blut the o11ld)rofessor was too clever, and escaped death. Finally Professor Kilpatrick was al owed to leave the country along w'th many other Aniericani captives when IHoover, dlemtand(ed release of all A\mer ican prisoners in Russia before he would permit food to be senit from Anmerica to famine -stricken Russia. Members of the club asked Profes sor Kilpatrick many (juest'ons of Rus sia. and lie added niany dletails to his talk. One of the most interesting, was the statement that only 500~0 wer( among the exclusive Bolshevists class, among the exclusive lshevist claiss, to believe in God. All business being disposed of, all partook of refreshments anid later rince(r. Dr. Baker Goes to Mississippi Meet Convention of Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges Acting President L. T. Baker and Professor J. A. Stoddard attended the thirty-first convention of the Associa tion of secondary schools and colleges of the South, which met in Jackson, Mississippi, this week. Dr. Baker, who was at one time, president of the Association, was placed upon the executive committee. Profe. sor Stoddard was placed on the con inittee of secondary schools for South Carolina. One of the chief problems which confronted the convention, and should be of great interest to all southern schools, was the advisibility of request ing the colleges to standardize 12 units instead of 16 for college entrance. these 12 to based upon the last three years of high school. - U.S.C. - Rowe Addresses Society The L,eConte Scientific society held its regular monthly meeting Friday night.

Arcaerl Building WAUCHOPE REPRESENTS ALPHA CHAPTER AT W.& M. (Continued from Page One) dedicatory address was made by Presi dent Thwing, of Western Reserve Uni versity. Several others spoke. The orator of the day was Dr. Van Dyke, whose address was surchanged with sparkling wit as well as eloquent wisdom. Working h's way through the maze and varying fortunes of frater nities from their genesis down to the present, he said: "Those colleges which abolish frat ernities are short-sighted. They sini ply close their windows to the warm zephyrs and sunlight of friendsh'p, which is equally as character-bailding and educational, as scholarship." During the afternoon, the delegates made a pilgrimage to various places of historic and literary importance. Dr. Wauchope told the interviewer that these relics of the past made one a better American, for he realized as never before that he tread on holy ground. and stood in the very cradle of the Republic. Dr. Wauchope was awarded a mem bership in Phi Beta Kappa in 1912, at Washington and Lee. He was largely responsible for the society's introduc tion in South Carolina, and is the presi dent of the local chapter. Why don't they have women engin eers?

This is the first championship battle under the class system inaugurated this year. For the past two years Columbia has won the cup, and was runner-up the year before. Iast year Gaffney was runner-up, and is out for revenge of that defeat. Odds, however, favor the Capitals. It is fitting that the University's athlet'c field should be the scene of the battle. Some years ago the Univer sity l'xtension Department began the system which later became the high school league. Under the auspices of that department, the championship con tests were inaugurated. Melton field is considered neutral territory and all final games are to be played on it. The Columbia team is coached by a former Carolina star, Harry Lightsey. Students can secure tickets at reg ular student rates at the canteen. It has been requested that Carol'na stu dents from the up state sit on the Gaffney side and lend their cheers to that team, while the down-staters do the same for Columbia. aster B 1erica LOCAL 294 J his Sign in her Shop e and Protection!
