Cites Tales of Hun Treachery; Bombing- of Hospital Recounted. Intimate glimpses of the British army as a fighting organization and as a mass of men whose senses and feelings have been so outraged by7 German atrocities and cruelties that they will not make peace until they have been thoroughly avenged and the Hun adequately pun ished, were given by Dr. Harold Bean ’12 who served as a lieutenant in the U. S. medical corps assigned to the British army, and who was honorably discharged because of serious injuries. "The Tnglish soldier.” said Dr. Bean, "is determined not to quit fighting until the right kind of peace is made. He will fight to a finish in the face of all ob stacles. During all the time 1 was in France, I never heard a complaint from the British Tommies about the hard ships they have to bear. They are deter mined to win.” Dr. Dean told how an orderly in the corps received a telegram from England saying that the orderly’s mother had been killed and his two sisters severely wounded in the bombing of London. Will Fight to Last Man. “The orderly,” said Dr. Bean, “turned to me and said, ‘Now, you can understand why we will not talk peace with the Ger mans,’ and I realize,d then that the English will fight to the lust man.” The speaker told how the Germans bombed a field hospital, killing a nurse and four men besides wounding several. “It is impossible,” he said, “to be lieve that the lluns did not know that it was a hospital, for the bombs were thrown at 9:30 p. m. in bright moon light and the hospital was identify:J by a Bed Gross with arms 6 feet across, set on a grass plot and outlined by two rows of white boulders. It is qst.mat'l that the sign could be seen 5,000 feet in the air. Those who witnessed the bombing testify that the planes were go close that the Iron Cross pr uteri on the machine could be distinguished.” German Treachery Cited. IIow several Germans cried “Karne rad” and then threw hand grenades at the members of an ArygU company wa> described by Dr. Bean. “r helped to dress the wounds of those bcuahmea who will be disfigured for life,' he said, “and I know that it was not an ae blent ’’ The treatment of German prisoners by the British was praised by tb ■ speaker. “I was in a prison camp for Giioe weeks treating the wounded,” said he. “The Germans are treated with the same con sideration as an Englishman. They re ceive the same rations, and are not re quired to work if physically unfit. Heavy penalties are placed on anyone .who mic’ treats prisoners. “The prisoners,” he continued, “are (Continued on page two) Will Pilot Baseball Men For 1918 Season. Prospects Good if Old Men and This Year’s Frosh Return. Dorris Medley, commonly known as “Dot,” will captain the lemon-yellow baseball men uext year. The choosing of “Dot” was a tribute to the enviable reputation he has made on Oregon baseball teams. The prospects for a winning aggre gation next year are good. Captain Sheehy, Walter Grebe and Arthur Run quist will not be back, but with a nu cleus of Medley, Lind, Dunton, Morri son, Berg and Campbell around which to build a team, a winner seems in line. Bill Steers’ return next year is yet questionable as he is considering en listing. And then there are a few fresh men who deserve looking over, among them Gamble, Finnerau, Jacobberger, Houston, Durno, Moore and Young. With most of these certain of returning to school, the rough edges will be smoothed over. This year’s baseball season is consid ered successful. The team was a win ner. and the finances turned out much better than exneeted. SORORITY TO HELP STACK BELGIAN MILE OF DIMES | Delta Gamma Will Give Benefit Dance to Kaise the Campus Allotment.

May Repeal Freshman Ruling; Letter-Men to Elect Captain. Football enthusiasts of the Univer sity will hold a banquet at the Osborn Hotel on next Tuesday evening if plans worked out by Coach Dean Walker and the Order of the “O” materialize. The object of the meeting will be to deter mine how many of last year’s varsity and frosh teams will answer the call in October.

I WHS Delta Tau Delta Defeated in Finals by Score of 11 to 3: Durno Is Star. Ed Ward Gets Three Hits; Brown and McCoy Injured by Collision. The Phi Delta Theta baseball team won the championship of the doughnut league Tuesday afternoon when they beat the Delta Tau Delta representa tives 11 to .‘i. Ed Durno, pitching for the Phi Delta, was the star of the af ternoon, getting a three base hit be sides fanning 13 of the Delt batters in the seven innings. In the second and sixth innings, Dur.no struck out the three men who faced him in order. The defeat of the Delta Tau Delta team by such an overwhelming score was a surprise to the followers of doughnut baseball as they were con sidered about the best, balanced team on the campus. In practice games they had defeated the Betas with Hank Fos ter in the box. and had beaten the Eu gene High school. Medley's Pitching Wild. Houston Medley, the Delt t wirier, was wild and made the mistake of pass ing the weak hitters of the Phi Delts and then allowing one of the heavy stickers to m-a^k out a hit. Ed Ward led the Phi i >elt sluggers, getting three safe ones out of the four trips to the plate and scoring two runs. Kennedy was a close second to Ward for out of font times up ho was hit twice, fanned once and got. a home run. Errors behind Medley contributed, to a groat extent, to his downfall. The first; three innings went along like a regular game and it. looked as if the l uii.t would be close. At this point the score stood 2 to 1 in the Delta’ favor. In the fourth frame, however, after Ward had singled, Margnson was safe on a fielder’s choice, which Woodruff gum med, and Phipps had been given free transportation, Kennedy cracked out his home run, resulting in four runs and (Continued on page three) HIGH SCHOOL STUDEMTS URGED TO ATTEND U.

Hunt Vistiing Oregon Sigma Nu Chapter. Northern Football Mentor Fa vors Abolition of Freshman Rule During War. C. J. Ilnnt, coach of the University of Washington football and basketball teams, is a visitor on the Oregon cam pus, having arrived from Seattle last, evening. Mr. Hunt is division inspector of the Sigma Nu fraternity and here on fra ternity business. Coach Hunt expects to be able to put a football team into the field this fall although it will be, for the most part, made up of green material. The draft has played havoc with athletics in the north ern institution. The track squad was al most completely wiped out by the last draft and left no men to send to Oregon for the meet, although Coach Hunt de clares he would have sent a team if it had to be made up of cripples if Manager Tiffany had thought it best. Coach Hunt is heartily in favor of abolishing the freshmen rule for the du ration of the war, as he believes that it would interest high school students in college, and would result in a greater number entering this fall. The establish ment of a four year naval training course at Washington Coach Hunt, hopes will serve to keep some of the men in school. Washington has only two of her last year’s football team to start with next fall. They are Dailey and Theison, around whom Hunt will try to build a winning combination. The University of Washing ton has games scheduled with Cull man, Idaho, <). A. ('., Whitman and the University of California. At the pres ent time Washington has no game sched uled with Oregon, but if a meeting of the Northwest conference is held this spring Coach Hunt hopes to lie able to revise the schedule so that a game may he worked out. “Oregon is Washington’s logical opponent and I would like to see the teams get together this fall,” said Coach Hunt today.

The measure was finally pass ed with the provision that the girls would give the money to the nurses' hut, but that if something better was suggested by next year, that the money might be used for another purpose.

The committee desire to have us much of the pledge money as pos sible paid by June 0, or at least before the girls leave college, but since many of them are planning to earn the money this summer, the girls were requested to place on their pledge cards the dato on which they could pay it.
