The boys are Harold Car- penter, Philip Luther, Earl Schlave, Frank Lamb, J. Eugene Aver and C. Albert . Beckwith. President Jones called we ~cthur C. Norton, who delivered =n_interesting address ‘'on Why Germany Is Losing the War. Mr. Norton showed in a scholarly way how the man power of Germanyv which 4s the backbone of i the central powers, is slowly fading !away. The man-power of Germany, hé ‘said, may be compared to a ci tern in which the outlet pipe is larger than the inlet and just as tne cistern iis in time almost emptied so will Ger- many’s-man power in time be exhaust- fed. "Mr. Norton said that aithough i Germanv had 9.500,000 mén in 1914, by 1918 her casualties will have amounted i to 5.000,000 swhils the forces of the al- les are being continually strenzihened with new armies Robert Johnson was then called up- on and he spoke as follows: Of course we all know that the United States has entered into the greatest war that the world Tas ever Known. Now if we are oing to win the war and we must, we need the help of evedy red blooded American and we must have it in more than one wa First we need the soidiers.’the sail- ors. and the: money, of all the needs and necessities these come first. Al- though these three come first, they are surely not all.

He enumerated some of the opportunities which wera avdilable just at present. nch the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. work. _ Mr. Hill sald that service was a wonderful thinz and that the boys should use their leaZue to furth- er their opportunities to do services for atbers. Followinz Mr. Hill's address there was a general discussion of wavs and means to increase the membership ot the class, ¥t was decided to hold a debate at the nexi meetlng and it was sueessted that the league organ> ize a debatine team and compets with some of the neighborine high. sehool Plans are heing mada for a social to which the voung lady friends of the raembers can be invited. .
