a very interesting photoplay today.
It is ealled "Other Men's Daughters"

the story, which has to do with the
indignant attitude of a father when
the affections of his daughter are be-

Di velopments point to a belief that
army recruiting officers considered
the colleges as recruiting ground for
the various services, and the admin-
istration that could whisk away stu-
dents after two days to a week of
"study" at the college where they reg-
istered into a division of the army, is
testimony as to the- light in which

Committee, colleges and faculties
worked like beavers during the heat
of August and September, and the
members of the committee spent their
time in sweltering Washington in sol-
ving their manifold problems.
The best thought and effort of the
bc-l educators in the land was bent
to the task, and this without remun-
eration, and curriculums were recast,
intensified and some of their essential
features cut out to make room for
war studies and exercises that were
demanded.
College corporations out of
their too slender reserves spent their
thousands or tens of thousands on
units, for the temporary structures
to house the units, for the army found
itself unable to supply even the fur-
niture, to say nothing of the barracks
themselves.
