Sandy Smith's opinion of the possibility ot sending team Bait ih early October. He ted that while he did not believe Impossible to field a team so early ... the term, it would nevertheless hdve to exclude first year Arts and second year Science men. Still such an arrangement wottld solve the present financial difficulty. Dr. Shrum suggested accepting a guarantee of 11400, with the arrangement that Whatever Was token in, over and above that amount, be split between the two universities. Council now passed a motion that the old "risk" clause for $300 be rescinded. It was moved and passed that the "Delegate to the W.I.C.A.U. be instructed that Council ot U.B.C. will endorse a guarantee to any of the three prairie Universities which would not entail a greater risk than 9500, if after the investigation of the delegate, he feels that there would be a flfty-flfty break as to the $500 loss." With regard to tlie Inter-Collegiate series in baaketball, Schultz moved that the delegate to the W.I.C.A.U. be instructed to guarantee (500 to the prairie winner, for the Inter-colleglate basketball final, next year. This year the dates for the Musical Society and Players' Club performances clash wi'.h the probable dates of theae games. However It is hoped suitable arrangements may be made for the series next year. MSTORUUISINVESTWATE WftWAUOHFIRENCES Tbe development and work of the Imperial Conferences up to the close of the War was the basis of a discussion led by Mr. Percy Henderson at the Historical Club Meeting held at the home of Miss Helen Trites on Monday. Though suoh eminent colonial reformers as Gibbon, Wakefield and Durham failed to accomplish the establishment of a position for Canada in international affairs yet tbelr work served as a foundation for the building up of a national consciousness. This resulted ln demands tor a voice In Imperial affairs and In the final establishment of Imperial Conferences. Miss Helen Bonhilier took as her subject "Post-War Conferences," which she showed had dealt with such Important matters as the Japanese Alliance, the establishment of a foreign minister at Washington, Naval Disarmament and Immigration. In these Canada's contribution has been of the utmost Importance, and the work of Sir Wilfred Laurier in particular was outstanding. The position attained by Canada was due not only to persistent struggle but alto to her war sacrifice. Arts Undergrad Votes In Favor Of Track Meet That the A.M.U.8. should hold an* other function this term whieh should take the form of a novelty track meet In the gymnasium, was decided by a poorly attended meeting of that society held In Arts 100 at noon yesterday. D. Pollock, president A.M.U.8.. outlined the previous functions under* en oy the society during the year and suggested tentative forms and dates for another event. A mutton by Brlggs that a further function should be ae id was passed by a large majority of those present, but some difference opinion was expressed as to the form It should take. The president suggested that there Were three alternatives, another smoker, a banquet or a track meet in ihe gymnasium. He went on to indicate the advantage, disadvantages and probable costs of the various plans. A motion by Brakes, seconded by Gibson, that the A.M.U.S. hold a novelty track meet In the gymnasium, date and details to be deolded, was passed by a nil majority. After an announcement that Arts pennants were to be had from the curator at $1.25 each, the meeting adjourned. RUGGERS TO OPPOSE UNCONQUEREO TEAM Varsity sbnior ruggers clash with the fleet Ex-King's squad In an Important Tisdall Cup game at Brockton ?oint, Saturday. This game ie of prime importance to U. B. C, Tho West End team has yot to suffer defeat. Varsity, with one loss, must win to stay In the running. A Win for Varsity would place the team In the most favorable poaltlon to cop the Tlsdall silverware. Coach Jack Tyrwhltt Is still busy Whipping the team Into shape. Three or four practices are held every week with competition for places becoming keener at each turnout. Although the team to meet the King Georges has not been definitely selected yet, It will be cho_en from the following: Cleveland will probably fill the full back berth. Oaul, Estabrook, P. Barratt, Mercer, Bright, Cotterell and Norman nre the candidates for the three-quarter line. Captain Bill Locke will be in his old place at. seven-eights, whllo Bertie Bar- rail will command tho scrum. The forward line will be picked from: Mason, Murray, Aylwin, Nixon, Led- inghairt. Martin, Rogers, McConnochle, Robins, Burns and Wood. Theuo men have all shown tl- sir worth In past battles and tho coach will huve a formidable task in picking the best seven. Plans are being laid for the big game on March the first with Victoria Rep. A special paper, "The Rugbyssey," will come out on Thursday next, and a snappy revue will be given on Friday ln the Auditorium. The big game will be preceded by a giant parade, and followed by a tea dance. : ADDRESS "The lite and work of the Forest Engineers," will be the subject of the next noon-hour talk on choosing a profession.

It lo expected that there will be 100% attendance from the classes of '81. A class meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 20th, in Arts 100, at 18.15 sharp. The Valedictory Gift and Clate Budget are to be voted upon. To settle these matters satisfactorily, tveryont mutt be pretent, and on time. Aggies Crush Frosh In Class Debate OverJAC's nam itnutim tuemai IT IWCtUflt TEW "That Christmas expulsion is ln the best interests of the students," was debated by Arts '88 and Agriculture on Tuesday noon, in Art. 100. Mills Wlnram and Whlnster of Agriculture successfully upheld the negative against Milt Owen and Lad- ner of Arts '88. The judges awarding tho unanimous deoislon were Miss M, MUlrhead, C. Brasier, and P. Henderson. . Owen, opening the debate for tbe affirmative, dealt with the benefits of Christmas expulsion derived by the students of the University and by the government. He believed that the high standard of a university is lowered by the presence of common room loungers, as these pepople are far from being an incentive to other students. Moreover, the practice of Xmas "graduation" alleviates public opinion. In conclusion Owen declared that "the University authorities have been working on the question for years, and they must know what is best." Wlnram, speaking for the negative, opposed the resolution ln the first place because of the bad season of the year for obtaining employment when the college failures are thrown on the market. Again, students, especially those with nervous tendencies, cannot be judged fairly by one examination. He suggested as a remedy, an entrance examination based on high school records. Refuting Wlnram, the Arts '33 representative, Ladner, contended that students are likely to be even more nervous at the Spring examinations than at Christmas. He thought that Christmas examinations constituted the only method to eliminate academic misfits. In closing he again reminded his audience that Senate's decision to expel must be for the best. Whlmster began his line of argument by saying that "ln a university where individual treatment ls not used, the dumb students do not retard the rest." He went on to prove that overcrowding has had no influence on the standards of the university, as we are the products of still more crowded quarters. The students need a certain amount, of time lo heroine acclimatized and many of those expelled feel that thoy have not hail Mine to do themselves justice Such a person receives the Impression either that he Is Inferior or that some- one has a spite against him, and he then develops "that most terrible of all things — an inferiority complex." The fe.dlng of an animal for sale is very similar to the cramming system of examinations, thought the Aggie. Finally, bouncing is unconstitutional, aa lt does not give everyone a chance to receive an education in a country where theoretically education ls supposed to be open to all. This debate wae the first of the second series, the first having been completed a week ago. Pawn Pushers Crown Winner The Handicap Chess Tournament came to an end on Wednesday, when W. Hennlger lost to R. A. Pllkington In the flnul round. Hennlger received the odds of a knight and having the black pieces, declined the Evans Gambit. White developed a pawn attack on the queen's side and on the fourteenth move black was compelled to sacrifice a bishop. Two moves later he lost a knight and was finally mated with a pawn on the twenty-ninth move, his king having been driven to his king's rook's fifth. J, Clayton, pretldont of the Chess Club, announces that a match between a "('" and "D" olass team from the Club and the Anglican College will take place shortly. A similar match against Union College Is also being arranged, The Varsity team of five will probably be chosen from the fol lowing: Olund, Freeman, McCulloeh, Palmer, Parker, Motlllet. and Mc- Hattie. * Friend Hannah9 MahesHerDebut Before Critics "You are now looking at an old Bnglish garden In the year 1780; kindly admire the hollyhocks," the director of the Spring play admonished the Interested members of the Players' Club at an exclusive "Trial Performance" on Wednesday in the Auditorium. The first act ot "Friend Hannah" was then run off, to the accompaniment of titters and crack* ling of papers from the two rows of audience, The members were asked to write down any criticism of the play, good or bad, that they could think of, for the delectation of the actors and directors later. "Trying it out on the dog," as lt was put. "And If you feel like laughing, laugh, please," they were besought. "We like it." Consequently the empty theatre rang gleefully as shy Cousin Isaao attempted to propose to Hannah, as the disguised prince feigned illness to stay in the pretty Quaker's garden a little longer, and as Hannah was caught by her staid mother and uncle, "home from protracted meeting," singing a Say hunting-song with the three noble untsmen. The performance was highly appreciated by its audience of critics, who, it the comments read aright, feel that the whole play will be a great success If lt "goes over" an well as did Its first act on Weduesday. CITY ARTISTS FURNISH ITEMS FOR CONCERT Mrs. Stuart MoDiarmid, A.T.C.M., and Mr. Alfredo Mounter, well-known City pianist, were heard In a recital presented by tne Musical Soctety on Thursday noon. The Choral Sooiety and orchestra appeared for the first time since the holiday. The opening numbers "Invlctus," Huhn, and "Cherry Ripe," Land, with full orchestral accompaniment were well rendered by the Choral Society. The possessor of a rich contralto voice, Mrs. Stuart MoDiarmid, A.T. CM., charmed her hearers with "Caro Mio Ben," Giordan!, and "An Irish Love Song," Lang. Jean Mc- Dlarmld, Arts '3,1, was a sympathetic accompanist. Mr. Alfredo Meunler, brilliant Portuguese Pianist, was particularly happy in his choice of selectious. Played with a depth ot feeling, the haunting melody of Chopin's, "Nocturne in P Sharp," held the audience spellbound, while "Valse Brlllanto," Moakowsky, displayed to advantage Mr. Mounter's Interpretative ability. Mr. William Dovey, a Musical Society artist who will have a leading role lu the coming productiion, "In the Garden of the Shah," generously contributed "At Dawning" and "In the Garden of My Heart," in the unavoidable absence of Ploro Orsati, and was well received. Miss Jean Fisher accompanied in her usual able manner. Two numbers by the Musical Society concluded the program: "Kerry Dance," O'Hare, and "Full Fathom Five." This latter lacked somewhat the finish which was apparent in the other numbers.

Tenth Annual Relay To Test Ability Of Runners .un w sun norm mm ti mm ran ur The biggest and most important track event of the college year, the Arts '20 Relay Race, will be run on Wednesday next, starting from the old Fairview buildings and finishing at the north end of the Mall. The course is in all nearly eight miles and 1* divided up Into eight laps, of varying length; the longest being a mile and three-quarters, the* shortest half a mile, President Klinck will start the race at 8.46 p.m. on Twelfth avenue, from the old home of Varsity.' l ■ ■ a' -A1/.' a Every class on the campus it enter* ing a team: Four Arts teems; fow, Science, and a representative toam from Agriculture. The ihterett in the race will be heightened by the faot that the first six men to finish lu the recent cross-country are all on differ* ent teams. Oansner, Arts '31; Oereyr Science 32; punn, Arts '30; Hammett, Arts '88; Selby, Sclenoe 801 Allen, Arts »88. These m?a will all run the third lap—the longest of the course, It was tn that mite and three-quarters that science '80, the winner lost yeato made its big gain- Selby taking the baton at sixth place tore Up the road to finish inches behind the leader, Terry of Arts '81, and crossed the line second. Class eliminations are being held dally, and the enthusiastic showing of all the aspirants proves that the race will be this year the most exciting since its inauguration ten years ago. The race will probably be a lap by lap duel between Science '30 and Science '32, both who have exceptionally strong teams. Science '30'b team Is almost the same as last year, and unless there Is a dark horte among the other classes lt seems an almost certain winner. Science '82 with Carey and Dirom as its key men, has been training for two months. Thetr superior condition will be a great asset in the grueling fight with Sclenoe '30. The freshman class is the dark horse, with Allen and Hodges as its best men. They are working faithfully at their training and are very apt to upset the calculation of the "wise ones." The senior class In Arts, with Ddnn as Its pilot will be honored by the services of Doug. Pollock, "the traditionalist," who, In the recent crosscountry race, established a new fashion and tradition of running crosscountry races without protection for some of his feet. Arts '81, which is lucky enough to have Oansner, the winner of the race n week ago, will sadly miss two of its last year's men—Terry and Chappell. However, the influx from Victoria College has given the Juniors a wealth Of new material. Arts '32, the trailers of last year's (Continued on Page 4) SECOND CONTEST INDICATES IMPROVEHHOOTIN. Consistent shooting placed Sgt. T. D. Oroves, last week's runner-up, ahead ot Cadet G. Ward to win the aecond spoon shoot of C.O.T.C, fired Wednesday evening at Beatty Street Armouries. Oroves and Ward obtained 57 out of a possible 66, but the former's grouping practice decided the issue. Shooting was of a higher standard this week although the top scores were slightly lower. Eleven of the twenty- two competitors obtained fifty points and over, and the average for the night was 44.2. Cadet Roberts, last week's winner, totalled 43 points. The best, scores were: flgt. T. D.

Freeman Proof Reader.: j, McDIarmld, Dorothea l.uudell A MARTYR TO THE MUSE Of all the thankless jobs that abound ln this hot-house of culture, that of Literary Bdltor combines the maximum of work and the minimum of oredit. In this edition there appears the second Literary Supplement published this season. Few of Its readers will realize the weeks ♦of work that have gone into Its making—not so muoh In the writing of the articles but in the weary task of soliciting contributions from coy composers. This Is the most disheartening part of the Literary Editor's duties. He inevitably collects a bumper crop of promises but it would tat the skill of a spiritualist to materialize most of them. There are other hours of toll in editing, proof-reading and page-setting, but these are nothing to the work of trying to unearth signs of culture In an educational institution. The truth of the matter Is that every Literary Supplement produced so far has been the work of about half a dozen students. The rest of the student body is too engrossed in the "comic strips" and the sport pages of the dallies. sm Iii WM NOVEL FEATURED BY WOMEN'S SALON Forming the topic of the day, "All Quiet on the Western Front" was reviewed by Frances Milllgan at a meeting of the Scrap Book Club ln Arts 106, Wednesday noon. Jean Telford led the open dlsousslon which followed. This book, the members ■ agreed, is a bit of realism written to show war In its true colors and to divest it of its halo of glory and romance. The startling force and simplicity ot the diction, they thought, ls the necessary medium by means of which the author brings his picture ot horror before the eyes of tho reader. Much discussion arose Over the question of whether the final death of the hero was not a touch of romanticism out of keeping with the rest of the story. ' In electing representative, to see and review some of the current plays, the members chose Marjorie McKay to attend "Seven Days' Leave," adapted from Sir James Barrle's play, "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals," and Dorothy Fraser to attend "Elizabeth Sleeps Out." lt. was decided to change the date of tiro Club's tea to Saturday, March 15. The program for the next meeting of the Club is a debate on the question, "Is Modern Realism Justified?" ThOBe taking part are Betty Alien, Donalda McRae, Grace Adams, and Dorothy Fraser.

'32, wish it to be known that we, not Arts '32, are the winners of the Cross Country Race, by virtue of the fact that the entry placing tenth In the event Is a member of Arts '83, not of Arts '82 as stated. He Is registered In Arts '83 and we understand he ls to run for the last named class in the coming "Arts '20 relay race." Mad the point won by him been credited to his own class, the score would have shown Sc. '32 at the top with 11 points, as against 10Vs points for Arts '32 and 10 point, for Art. '33. We await the decision of the Track Club. Yours truly, SC. '32. Editor, 'Ubyssey." Dear Sir: It was with a feeling of regret that I think most of us read the "Sport- oiial" In last Tuesday's "Ubyssey." Aa I do not know who Is tho author of that column, I feel quite free lo venture a criticism. I cannot remember ever seeing apace in your paper more beautifully wasted. Certainly it was one of tbe weakest attempts at a defence that I have yet seen. Allowing that the writer of Tuesday's letter was possibly over-ardent, the general opinion was that his letter was rather meritorious and a little bit justified. Ignoring the men's game, how can any justification be attempted for the utterly inadequate write-up that the girls received on winning the Senior "A" championship? Their game was one t*f the hardest fought battles that has been seen In women's baaketball. And yet I believe that half of the College does not yet realise that our girls are champions of the city. I might suggest that, after Tuesday's "hysterical effusion," possibly an "approving nod" through the degraded medium of th. sportorlal column will not be appreciated by the Senior "A" girls. In closing, do yon not think, Mr. Editor, that It would have been far more commendable and praiseworthy, If a brief apology to the student body, and an acknowledgment of the deficiencies of at least one of the write- ups had appeared last Tuesday, instead of the above-mentioned "sport- orlal"? Sincerely yours, TOMMY BERTO. of U.B.C. The award will be made on evidence submitted by the candidates and full particulars may be had at the Registrar's Office. Applications must be sent to the Matter, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, ln time to reach him not later than June 30. The Studentship has a maximum annual value of £150.

Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1029. ************ flp ls hearty a miracle. An epic poem, running to nearly two hundred pagee of uarhymed verse, ls breaking best- s*ulng«ecoras the reading world over. It is the work of a man ot/nany days; his triumphant message to the world. It Ts called "The Testament of Beauty/' and it was written by Robert Bridges. We of the new generation had been Inclined to shrug our .boulders a little about Robert Bridges. Oh yes ... . "Ode on the Tercentennial of Shakespeare'. Death" .... The damning Criticism—"Old stuff." Why didn't they make Kipling Laureate anyway? And now we are left breathless by this living epic of a long life spent in search of beauty. " 'Twas late in my long Journey, when I had clomb to where the path was narrowing and the company tew," begins the poet musingly. It Is a kind of glorified blank verse that he has formulated, elastic and colorful, savoring of the BUsa- bethia or the extreme modern ln diction and spelling. This adaptable crucible will hold any wine of the poet's desire. In It the most delicate fantasy—ouch as the simile "As if in a museum the foesils oa their shelves Should come to life suddenly, or a winter rose-bod lurst into crowded holiday of scent aad bloom," io combined with the most magnificent pletorisatlon .... "Follow the path of those fair warriors, the tall Clothe, from the day when they led their olue-eyed faallite off Vistula's oold pasture-lands, their murky home hy tbe amber-strewn foreshore of the Baltic sea, and in the incontaminat vigor ot manliness feeling their rumour'd way to an unknown promised land, tore at the ravel'd fringes ot the purple power, and trampling Its wide skirts, defeating Its armies, slaying its Emperor, and burning hia cities, tack'd Athens and Rome; until! supplanting Caesar tbey ruled the world where Romans reign'd before." It Is not an easy passage for ns spoilt moderns, used to tho light and poignant verse ot Bdna St. Vincent Millay and her contemporaries. None ot It Is easy to get hold of mentally, some parts are well-nigh Incomprehensible. Such lines as " 'Tls true ther Is no balance to weigh theae goods and ills nor any measur of them, like as of colour and heat in their degrees; they are Incommensurable In kind," are, to me, aa obscure and engrossing at the night tky wtth Ita wilderness ot stars. But In reading, the mind seems perceptibly to stretch, to open out on Infinitely wider vistas; not only new ones, but old ones strangely lovelier, as in the picture of the stormy sky, "highspredd in fine diaper of silver and motherof pearl freaking the Interne asure; Now scurrying close o'erhead, wild Ink-hued random racers that fling sheeted rain gustily, and with garish bows laughing o'erarch the land." Aad oan It not be said that this ls the true aim In and delight of reading poetry? Dr. Bridges hat given the world a maaterpiece In this little volume of Ivory and gold. It Is the real stuff of epics—the work of a bright spirit, seasoned by life. It is alive, It quickens the mind of him who reads. And it Is the product of To-day. —F.M.L.

In the seventh place, the student body is too large to have the feeling of a community of Interests, the spirit of unity in purpose, that a smaller one might have; and It ls not large enough for the percentage of those who, under any clrcumttauces, are Intellectually alive snd active to be sufficiently great to control and support all worth-while spheres of student life. In the eighth place, the University is financially poor, its budget trimmed down as much ae possible by the Government, Its needs ignored by the City ot Vancouver, und the wealthy cltlsens of the province. Many students are not able to afford to enjoy all the opportunities for development of culture and intellect that present themselves. These, reasons are not strong enough to fully explain the question, however. A state of Intellectual activity and oultural development In a university cannot be brought about by artificial means, but only by tbe will ot a large ..umber of students.

In aH. or on the stage. Then there would bo no difficulty In producing Literary Supplements. • • • • • There are a few remarks to be made about this Literary Supplement. An Inhotation is the abandonment of the convention of capitalising the flrst letter ot eaoh line ot poetry. This is done by many moderns, the Foot Laureate among them. What would have been good poetry with the capitals will still be quite as good without them. An unusual amount of verse was reoelttd and what le printed is* we venture to say, very oreditabie work. Some bad to be rejected—and that is tery satisfactory, becauae tt ensured a higher standard by giving scope for selection, and unsuccessful contributors will be spurred on to further efforts. "All Quiet on the Western Front" was briefly reviewed in the last Issue, but as It Is still a best seller and much dlsoutsed, the fuller and more technical treatment given in the** pages is not untimely. 1 When we escaped from Pharaoh's hand those forty years ago and more, straight we foresaw the promised land, when we escaped from Pharaoh's hand.

Gnarled, sun-baked roots along the beach down toward the sea blue shadows reach as with their twisted arms they pray the benediction of the spray. The bold brown cliff behind them rears with red arbutus, pines like spears, and tiny moss-plants, "hen-and-chtokens" that huddle where the rock moss thickens. -B.M, "All Quiet On The Western Front" (Brioh Maria Remarque, London: 0. P. Putnam's Sons, 1019.) IN the introduction to Shaw's play, "Arms and the Man," there occurs this sentence: "The only men who heve no illusions about war are those who bave recently been there, and of course Mr. Shaw, who has no illusions about anything." "All Quiet on the Western Front" is a striking ox- ample of the first part of this statement. It is a book which holds between lfs covers the harrowing experiences of a German youth rudely thrust into the World War at eighteen and subjected to terrible disillusionment, It ii a book which, despite its revolting nature, does not fall to hold the reader to its last page. It is a book, therefore, whioh hat gone through edition after edition, and its popularity is not hard to understand. On the one hind, we are living in an age when men and women are eager to learn what war really entails, and etnee thlt book purports to give a realistic picture of It, the book hat been popular. On the Other hand, however, mUOb of ita popularity Is undoubtedly due to the novelty ot both its subjeot matter and treatment, A book which treats ot the unspeakable as commonplace cannot1 help but cause a sensation. But it is hardly hecessary to point out that the popularity accorded a book is no criterion of Its artistic merit, A book may be useful as a mine of information regarding war, ot which the average person who hae not ex* perlenced It knows nothing; Ond at the eame time be written In the guise of a story to which ertiatjo and literary standards muat be applied. I bite found it necessary, therefore, to apply two standards to the book throughout—truth of content, which le a scientific, I utilitarian, not an aesthetic standard, and adequacy of ex* preauion—the Croclan atandard of artistic merit. t it is presumption tor one who haa hoi been through the war to mss Judgment upon the truth of the facta presented by Remarque, but it is to be hoped ho has left nothing to the imagination, in many instances he hae recounted events, one after the other, in reporter's style, rather than given his emotional reaction to them. This method has tie virtues when factual content ls all that the writer Is seeking to convey, but as a method o. communlcatlng emotional content,His decidedly inadequate. Often, incidents of ruin, suffering and horror are stated as ao many facta, und are left un purified by pity, for they arouse no other emotions in the reader than loathing and revulsion. But there are times when the author submits to his higher artistic Instincts and write not as a reporter but at an artist. In such a way does he write ot his friend Kemmerich's death, and the reader willingly sits by the bedside and Uvea over with Remarque the latt hours of his friend. It Is the following comment when all is over which purifies the sordid picture, and makes one feel after all that Kemmerich waa worth more to his friends than hla coveted gold watch and his high Bnglish boots. "Thero he lies now, but why? The whole world ought to pass by thla bed and Say: 'That is Fran* Kemmerioh, nineteen and a half years old, he does not want to die. Let him not die'." But auch passages occur all too eel* dom to relieve the appalling realism of the greater part of the book- It has been said that Remarque intended to set forth In his book the war, the fate of a generation, and true comradeship. He succeeds, in his own way, in depicting war, the flrst of these, not from a narrow, biased, German viewpoint, but from an International, oommonseuse viewpoint. It is not merely the ruin of German hopea and German youth which he paints in primary colors, but the world's hopes and tbe world's youth, One sees In his picture how conventionality and formality are swept away tn the face of sheer necessity, aad mau reduced to the brute, phy- teal man, his higher and finer Instincts orushed out by the exigencies of the situations ln which he ls placed, He has shown, without moralising and without sentimentality, through the natural conversations of his friends, that war is more than button* polishing end drum-beating—that It is no less than hell Itself on earth. He has shown how stupid mm recognised it to be, and yet how helplett they were, individually and collectively, when caught lu ita tolls, ln one Installs Kropp Ts talking, and seems to Voice the opinions of the group he ts addressing, when he says: "It's queer, when one thinks about it—we are here to protect our fatherland. And tht Prpnoh are oyer there to protect their fatherland, Not, who's in the rlkht?" ' With such an attitude ot mind, these young men naturally toothed the Whole rotten buslnesa, How did they manage to fight, theh? Remarque shots that the War made them ''hard, tuipicioue, pitiless, vicious and tough." It turned thsm into beasts who fought to defend themselves from annihilation. In one passage ho says: "If We were not automata at that moment, we wbtild continue lying there, exhautted and without wtll~we will kill, for they are still our, mortal one* miss, and if we don't destroy them. tWwiU*deiift>yto.,> The fate of their generation Rem* arque and his oomrades blamed on their .schoolmasters, who deceived them into believing in a totally unreal world. He says: "We hod to recognise that their, generation wai no more to be trusted than ours. They turpatted us only in phraoeo and in cleverness, The first bombardment Showed ue our mistake, end under lt the world as they hid taught it to us broke tn pieces," He shows how devastating an effect the war had On him, his friends, and all young men forced into lt. "We had as yet taken no root. The war swept us aWay. For the others, the older; men, it was but B_ha_KWi%Lnl been tripped by it, and do not know what the end may,be.(We know only that ln some striate and melancholy way, we hate become a white land . to-day we would pass through the totnet ot our youth like travellers. We are burnt op by hard tacts. We are no longer untroubled, we are Indifferent. We are forelorn, like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial—I believe we are lost" Of himself he says: "I am young, I am twenty years old, yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over un abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and In silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently, slay one another." It ls through the writer's comradeship with TJaden, Kemmerich, Mullet*, Detering, Kropp and Katoslni'ky, that he baa shown what war is, and Its effect upon his generation. The utter disillusionment with which the writer compote* hie story gives dreadful weight to the rapid Are of his swift, short sentences with their deliberately gross words. There Is obviously no attempt to substitute rhetoric for trtte feeling, no funereal eloquence to express the tragic emotion, so hard to put Into words. The simple, direct, tense, hard-bitten and decidedly dramatic style ot some ot the passages makes one Wish the whole book could hate been written thus.

And now he had little less than two hours to live. In the gloom of death cell Jerry smiled grimly. It would soon bo time to go .... . At four o'clock they changed the guards outeide his cell; The death watch waa followed by a priest. Jerry had put up auch a determined resistance to a priest's communion during the last night that be succeeded in remaining alone. But he let it be known that one would be welcome an hour beforo he died. Here he watt. Jerry, near the door, watched with veiled eyes tlie heavily robed and bearded figure standing between the guards swing Into action, From beneath the flowing cloak a short black thing, heavily tipped and sinuous, leaped upward. Without a pause it thudded viciously just above the ear of the guard on the right. Before he could crumple soundlessly to the floor, the jimmy had described a swift arc and crashed upon the nape of the other guard's neck. "Good work, Raldy." Jerry breathed. Together they lifted the limp forms into the cell, removed their uniforms and put them on themselves. They encountered no difficulty In gaining the open air and freedom—that is, hardly any. it's true the warden in charge looked up from his desk enquiringly when they trod confidently into hie office. More, he eten started to demand who in so-and-eo they were. He fumbled tor hie gun, but before he eter touched It Jerry had knocked htm unconscious. From the hooks around the walla the two selected an overcoat eaoh and a hat. They unlocked the doors and went outside.'Crotelng the prison yard to the only gate, tbelr voices raised ln hearty converse, they were challenged by the gate-keeper. Stepping close, still talking, Jerry* swung the Jimmy once more. s A minute later they were picked up by a powerful automobile. Once in the city the car made directly tor Jerry's old haunts. There, he was contlnoed, lay the most logical hiding place. The automobile drew up to the ourb. Jerry, alighting, glanced Interestedly up tbe street. Suddenly, from around the corner nearby, a big car careened and skidded. Instinctitely Jerry drew back. Tbe police? No, he muttered, just some damn fool getting home from a boose party. Then hie blood Arose. Not five paces from him and directly In the path of the speeding automobile a ragged, filthy little urchin was dashing madly across the street, Baldy, evidently, had just signalled for a paper. Something snapped ln Jerry's brain. Without thinking—there was no time for thinking-he lunged at the child, like a footballer picking up a loose ball. With the squeal of brakes and a frightened moan from the driver, there came the sickening, padded thud ot Jerry's body, ♦ ♦ • The policeman waa taking notes. "Sure," said the emaciated little street waif, "I know that fella. He'e the guy what sh . . . He looked down at the broken, shape Una thing before him. Though ho couldn't have put into words Just why he stopped, he knew that anything he said wouldn't matter anyway. "Sure," he began again, "he's the guy what shoved me out of the way." Jerry opened his eyes and scanned the ring of faces above bim. He looked Into the wide eyes of the urchin. Recognition filled his own. Then an Illuminated disk on a tall building caught the fancy of those gigging eyes. He stared at it stupidly for a long moment. Suddenly his lips twitched. It was almost five o'clock. —R.A.J.

Strenuous competition Could be arranged Between teams Of coins-tossing and penny-pitching experts. An lnter-class lecture-skipping tourney Woutd attract Talent from all years. Table-hogging In the Caf Has been developed To a high degree ot perfection And could protlde Thrilling struggles, Though this Should be an Inter-sorority Rather than lnter-olass competition. A "passing the buck" league Could be Inaugurated Between class executives, The Students' Counoil Being debarred As seml-professlonals. The fields of contest Are endless.

GARDEN of EDEN? No, the SHAH. Redshirts Squelch Frosh Footballers The lnter-class soccer series got away to a good start on Wednesday afternoon when "Science '33 United" fumbled its way to a 4-2 victory over the ten-man aggregation fleldod by the Frosh. The game provided plenty of amusement for a small crowd of onlookers who evinced their Interest ln the proceeding by frequent 'sky-rockets' for laudable plays, and _uch wholesome advice as "kick him In the shins," "trip htm," etc. Nicholson opened the scoring after fifteen minutes play when he gathered a centre from Curry to beat the aes- thets' custodian with a low shot and put the Engineers one up. About this time the Arts team was augmented (in weight at least) by the arrival in an anolent car, of Perdue who proceeded to lend his self-confidence to the back division, allowing White to join the attacking line. Realizing that the 'Red Shirts' required practice in kicking corners the Frosh obliged with tie odd half-dozen, two of which McConnoly succeeded in placing ln front of the bar. These however, were cleared through the efforts ot Smith and 8toble whose yeoman service tor Arts prevented further adverse score In the first half, A determined offensive by Science marked the opening of the second period, a shot from McConnolly struck the bar, the ball rebounding into play only to be swung across the field to Curry who placed It between the posts for the Engineer's second tally. From tho ensuing kick- off Verdlel took the ball up to wing on an Individual effort and centered to Praesoloskl who beat Vandervoort with a hot shot. Next Verdlel ettayed a long shot which failed to arouse much Interest in the Red Shirts' custodian until tt trickled between his legs and over the line. A brilliant Individual run by Curry resulted in the Bngineert taking the lead once more. Perdue went in goal and anxious to add custodian's laurels to his brow, the genial heavyweight rushed out to the first ball to punch lt clear. Smith, who was about to head the sphere, be- Valentine Contest Won By Phil Gelin Phil CJelln Submitting the most acceptable and only entry for the great Muck-a-muck Page Valentine Coloring Competition, inaugurated in the "Ubyssey" last week In connection with the special Muck-a-muck Valentine, for the pur* pose of promoting, encouraging and cherishing aesthetic and artistic endeavor Within the precincts ot this institution detoted to the propagation ot higher education, Phil Oelin, So. '33%, wins the endorsed complimentary copy of the 1928-89 Handbook presented by the Feature staff. Amid the cheers of thousands ot admirers, Mr. Oelin was presented wltb the coteted first prise by the Feature Editor who in a tew well- chosen phrases expressed the commendation of the Muck-a-muck Staff. "My boy, we're proud of vou," exclaimed the President ot the Art Club to the newly-crowned Michael Angelo. Questioned as to his future, Mr. Oelin stated that he intended to found a new school of art, called Etaolsm, The subjects and methods of the school would stand in relation to ordinary art as Muck-a-muck stands to everyday literature. The School of Seven Is already effete and antiquated," quoth Mr. Oelin. "My new school Neo-lnflnltlsm or Etaolsm wtll be the most advanced ln the world. Classes will be held ln the Lower Common Room on Saturday afternoons." What People Are Saying Dr. Spencer: We all like chickens Now, boys, I didn't mean that. Dr. Don Watson: We'll represent this dlagrammatlcally. Dr. Walker: A skilful representation of terrific profanity and general blueness of atmosphere—that's what I call light humor! Esme Thompson: Just say "Es- mi- Thompson" and you can get anything. Mac McCooky: None of the best people do tnat. Russ Munn:—I never aay "darn." May Chrlttlton:—What can I say to be intelligent?

Smith redeemed hit reputation a tew minutes later when he stopped Muirhead from scoring an almost certain goal and the final whistle blew with the score at 4-2 for Science. A notable feature of the encounter was that every shot on the goal resulted In a score. Presumably to avoid a Mutt and Jeff situation arising on the field, Science placed Its tallest man between the sticks while the Frosh selected their most diminutive representative to guard the fort and The Vanishing A.M.S. Meeting Another time honored institution of thla University has been allowed to languish and fade and to finally disappear altogether. I allude to the Alma Mater meetings which were for* merly held In this University. In those anolent days great quan* titles of cherublofaoed students assembled to bask In the dignity and smiles ot a Benevolent Council. And the orators of those days were mighty men. Even when there was nothing to talk about, these doughty upholders of liberty, truth, Justice, policies! freedom, morality and even the honor tyttem, wouiu arise and saw the air right luttlly with arms and tongue. And the great sombre-looking curtains that hang at the baok of the ttage rippled and trembled in the breeie (for warm air always rises). Then at other times something of Importance would arise for discussion. On such occasions the speakers would strike their most rhetorical attitudes and words would flow from them without Interruption except for the stamping of feet and the maudlin hoots of Sclencemen, Great men arose and stood on their hind legs to champion the cause or to hurl lt headlong downward into oblivion. There was that dougfhty warrior Whitely, who fought right nobly for tho cause of peace at any price and demagogical democracy. There was that other orator, the mighty Pauldenia Murphy, whose voice was as the voice of two men. But alas those happy days are gone! The great Council of Nine no longer smiles down in a happy manner upon the upturned faces of a Trusting Multitude. Now all this is changed, for the word of the Mighty MunnsOllnl Is law and he rules with iron hand and wooden head. And tho Elected Ones who agree to assist the Mighty One In his weighty cogitations: they who had platforms with planks to numerous as to form a lumber-yard, what do thoy think of the passing of the Alma Mater meeting? Two well-known Councillors were approached in an attempt to determine If possible their feelings ln the matter. The first one raised aloft bis hand and eyes ln holy horror to think that anyone would question the Policy of the Oreat Council of Nine. The second one was more encouraging, however. He bad, it seems, purchased a gown for the price of six dollars and forty-five cents. Now he was in danger ot graduating without ever being able to wear the worthy article of clothing. He longed for a meeting so that he would have a chance to wear it. However, pressing problems do not pass unnoticed. The Debates Union now discusses these weighty matters before great multitudes of people who no longer have to listen to the bellow- Ings and mouthlngs of the Great Council. And the Debates Manager gloats and gloats, for his frenzied orators wax rich iu fame and prestige while the glory of the Great Council of Nine fades and die. away. GARDEN of EDEN? No, the 8HAH.

Margaret Stoble. the defending fullback, cleared tlio ball easily every time.

ANGLICAN COLLEGE PROFESSORS WHITEWASH STUDENT GHESSISTS A fighting teum of student chess fanatics went down to a 7-1 defeat at. tho hands of the professors ln the Anglican College student-faculty chess match Thursday afternoon. Starring for the faculty was Rev. W. T. Keeling who mated hla opponents rapidly iu both his games. J, Hammett, playing top board for the students, had a miraculous escape from defeat in his game against H. R.

Yokels Best Clergy In Basketball Tilt Hard-cheoking and superior shooting gave the Aggies their victory Of 19-10 over the Theologs in an Inter- Class Basketball game on Wednesday noon in the gym. The farmers Bhowed unusual ability ln passing the ball to their opponents, but they usually got lt back In time to prevent a soore. In the flrst half the Theologs started off with a rush, Paulding scoring on a basket and a free shot. But, strengthened by Peden, the Aggies be* gan to attack, until at half-time they were leading 8*5. In the second half the hayseeds camped under the Theologs' basket, but poor shooting prevented them from amassing a huge score. Occasionally the opposing quintette reached the other end ot the floor with the ball, but they wero only able to add five more points to their soore, Strachan, Pedwu uud Norman were the pick of the winning Aggie team, while Pnuldlng wns the most valuable player for the Theologs.

JUNIOR CANUCK GRIDDERS PMCTISEOKSUMY OVAL Any one passing along the University Boulevard at the weird and un* holy hour of 7:80 any morning this week could hate seen the Junior Canadian Rugby gridders wallowing enthusiastically in the morasses of the Varsity Oval with their playmates the Intermediates, The team has faithfully turned out en masse every morning and is Improving rapidly. The practices have been particularly well attended lately as the next game is scheduled with the Aces who are rumored to be good. The Juniors have plenty of good material to choose from as the Freshman and Second Intermediate English Rugby teams have broken up and most of their members have turned their attention to the Canadian Brand. A few alterations may be made in the line-up. Burgess, who has a nice turn of speed will probably be changed from front to back half. Thomson, the centre, who has suffered from an Injured shoulder, will recover in time for Saturday's game. The team Is lucky In not having to go far afield, all ita games being scheduled for the Varsity Oval.
