BRITISH TO FIGHT OI«
UNTIL FINAL VICTOR'!
Desire for Vengeance Great,
Says Drc Bean, Back
from French
Front.
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

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.
A benefit dance, to assist each mem
ber of the campus chapter of Delta
Gamma to raise two feet of dimes as
her part of the national Delta Gamma
campaign for a mile of dimes for Bel
gian war relief, will be given tomorrow
night in the women's open-air gymna
sium.
1 he first three dances on the pro
gram will be free of charge; after these,
five cents a dance will be the rule, or
fifty cents for the evening.
Approximately each girl's quota is
£•'.40 and the total to he contributed by
all the chapters in the universities of
the United States is .$10,000.
Dean Louise Ehrmann, Miss Mabel
Cummings, Mrs. B. S. Bailey, Mrs. An
na Dunn, Mrs. Louise Bean and Miss
Amy Dunn will act as patronesses.

their quota.” she said, ‘‘because they
feel that it will give every one a chance
to contribute to the relief fuud.”
ID TALK IIP FOOTBALL
Gridiron Enthusiasts to Size up
Situation at Banquet.
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.
The first thing that will be done will
be the election of captain for next year
by the letter men of last year. The man
elected will take charge of the meeting
and determine upon whom he can de
pend in the fall.
Advisability of repealing the fresh
man ruling will be discussed. This mat
ter has been talked of ever since the
war began, and it will undoubtedly come
to a vote sometime during the summer.
The feed of the evening will not be
in the form of a banquet meal. Each
man present will be charged oO cents
for which he will receive the regular
dinner meal. The main idea of the af
fair is to get the candidates for next
season’s gridiron aggregation together
for a conference.
Six o’clock is set as the time for the
meeting and all men who are interested
are asked to be present. Coach Walker
as well as a number of football letter
men will address the assemblage.

OLD DEBATE CLUB REVIVED
Philologians Meet for First Time in
Eight Years; to Convene June 5.
For the first time since 1009 the Phil
ologian debating society met last even
ing at eight o’clock in Johnson hall. The

promote the men’s interest in debate
work and to develop a larger amount of
material for varsity oratorical and de
bate teams.
The program of the evening consisted
of a talk by Professor Robert W.
Prescott and a speech given by Walter
Myers on “The Adaptability of Public
Speakers and Varieties of Speaking,”
which was lively and filled with inter
est.
The Philologians will continue their
meetings until the end of the term and
will convene again June fifth.
The University of Illinois is planning
the establishment of a University club
for women, similar to the present men’s
University club, which will have a club
house with library and ro' ms for social
gatherings.

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

Greater Oregon Committee to Send 500
Personal Letters to Grad
uating Classes.
To bring more students to the Uni
versity next fall is the purpose of a
personnl letter which K. W. Onthank,
secretary to the president, has recently
advised that the Greater Oregon com
mittee send out to the young men nnd
women who are graduating from the
high schools throughout the state.
“These letters,” says James Shoehy,
president of the student body, “are to
he direct and straight-forward appeals
to the high school students telling them
just why it is every man’s patriotic duty
to eontintie his education.” The com
mittee hopes that this will emphasize
in a very personal way how necessary
it is that every young man and woman
in the country should come to college.
About 500 of these letters will he
sent out next Wednesday.
At the same time, Mr. Onthank will
send out from the office mimeographed
copies of the new regulations, recently
issued by the secretary of state, con
cerning the organization of cadet corps
in the universities and colleges of this
country.

II. OF W. COACH HERE
C. J. 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.

Defeats Roberta Schuebel in
Race for President; Ruby
Bogue Given Vice
Presidency.
Eva Hansen Secretary, Reba
Macklin Treasurer, Stella
Sullivan, Editor.
Dorothy Flegel whs elected president
of the Women’s league for next year by
a majority of 111 over Roberta Schuebel
at a mass meeting of 251 of the 500 Uni
versity women yesterday afternoon in
Villard hull. The final fount was 181
to 70.
Eva Hansen won over flraee Ham
marstrom ft*r the secretaryship by 42
votes, the count being 140 to 104. Reba
Maeklin received 200 votes for treasurer
as opposed to Ethel McOilchrist's 47.
Stella Sullivan was chosen editor by
a majority of 70 over Eve Hutchison,
the vote being 153 to 83.
Two Nominees Unopposed.
Ruby Rogue for vice-president and
Amy Hague for sergennt-nt-arnis were
unopposed. No nominations were made
from the floor and the nominating com
mittee's report, was accepted as given
by Corn Hosford, chairman.
llefore the election the girls decided
to raise $2500 for a nurses’ hut in
France, the money to be raised as soon
as possible. The motion was carried
after considerable discussion over the
relative advantages establishing a can
teen or a nurses’ hut, the objection to
the canteen being that it would lie tem
porary. 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.
Fledge cards for the “University of Or
egon Women’s War Fund1’ were distrib
uted and $100 was subscribed. This
makes a total of $372 pledged to date
by 88 girls.
To Make Special Drive.
The committee on raising the money,
with Roberta Schuebel as chairman, is
planning a drive to get the necessary
funds. 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.

Five More Men Will Be Sent
To Camp Lewis By Saturday
Five more men will lie sent to Camp
Lewis by Saturday at the latest. Major
Fric W. Allen received word from the
war department this morning to send in
the names of five additional men to
Washington for recommendation to the
Officers’ Training Camp which has just
started at Camp Lewis.
Major Allen hopes to have the names
in by tonight and will wire them in as
soon as possible to the Capitol. Author
izations are expected immediately so
thut the moii may leave by Saturday in
order that they may not miss any more
of the training than they cun help.
Kight names may be sent in with the
qualifications of the men so that the
war department may choose those whom
it thinks are best fitted. It is possible
some of the men sent may be alumni
already iu the service. As Colonel John
Leader is out of town on a lecture tour
Major Allen and the faculty captains
will probably do the choosing.
