I will sing you i song, a jolly good

Of the college days going by;
With its beautiful girls with eyes of

Or gray, or black and a sigh.
Chorus: (Repeat last two lines of
each verse). .
And we'll not forget those great big
boys,
With hearts so brave and true,
Who are so nice and lovely, too,
But who wait and never say boo.
Cho.
And when to the ball gi.mc they do
go,
To win 'mid smoke and flame:
There those hautiful girls with eyes
so true "
. Will all be there the same.
Cho.
And they shriek and yell like a
Comanche,
Till the air is fairly blue;
And when they go home the boys will
say. .
Why, my dear, I do love you.
Then we'll sing hurrah for the college
days,
Hurrah for the orange and hlacK;
And then go home to our dear mamas
And end it alt with a smack.

Keep Out of Their
Way-
DECLARED A THIRD

Around Verdun Germans Ad
vanced at One Point and
Repulsed at Others.
(By United Press)
London, June 13. So rapid was the'
advance of the Russians near Lutsk
that the Austrians in several instances
did not have time to fire the guns
they loaded, said a Petrograd dis
patch today. The Russians turned the
guns right about and used them. Dip
lomatic circles reported the prospect
of Roumania joining the allies grow
ing daily with the advance of the
Russians into Bukowina.
It is estimated that more than a
third of the Austrian army on the
eastern front were killed, wounded
or captured since the offensive began.
Approximately one hundred twenty
thousand Tvere captured. The new
Russian line makes a deep U into the
Kovel region. Every mile of Austrians
driven back makes- the German posi
tions toward Riga less tentable.
Paris, June 13. The night attacks
of the Germans penetrated the ad
vanced French trenches east of Hill
321, said the communique. All other
points of attack were repulsed. In
fantry charges were made along the
tntire sector west of Thiaumont.
Petrograd. June - 43. .V thousand
more Austrians were captured and
compatriots are retreating rapidly
along the entire front, it is officially
announced tonight.
