Perhaps old Mark Anthony, who di- rected several successful campaigns against the Huns near the beginning of the Christian era, will lend his namesake, Mare Anthony,-a private in the Fourth battalion of the Depot brigade, his knowledge of military tactics which proved so successful in ancient times. This modern Marc Anthony hails from St. Louis, and while he does not claim to be an orator, he does admit that he intends ito do a bjt of fighting when he gets ths opportunity, Patrick Henry is here, too. He is a private from Lyons, Kas., and is in accompany in the 353rd_ infantry. , Patrick hasn’t made any, “give-me- liberty-or-give-me-death” speeches, but he’s willing to fight for the prin- | ciples that occasioned that famous ut- | terance.

Early Count Shows 800 to War From / MU. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 21.—About 800 names of graduates and former students of the University of Missou- ri have already been gathered in the war census conducted by the Missouri Union. This list includes only those who are now in some branch of act- ive war service. The 59 students who were excused from the Univer- sity last spring to help raise war crops are not counted in the list, though they are given a place on the Forty among those in active service. The list shows that a considerable number of M. U. men are already in France. All ranks from that of pri- vate to judge advocate general, the highest legal position in the U. S. Army, held by E. H. Crowder, are represented on the University _ list. Such widely different branches of ser- vice as the training corps and the government censorship are shown and the list gets longer daily.
