Special trains from east and west, motor cars, excursion boats, steam yachts and sailing craft, all contributed their share, and long before the starting time of the junior eights races the prir- cipal streets, railroad stations and water fronts presented a confusion of color and clamor. Alumni and under oclassmen fromp the rival universities guided par- tles . pretty girls, matrons and children to points of vantage from which to watoh the contest The colors of the rival colleges were evident on every hand in form of flags, arm bands, feathers, balloons, confett! and paper streamers. Ticket speculators stood ready to supply observation car seats at prices ranging from 310 to 30 each, and did a lively business. \ Wilson Arrives at His Summer Home CORNISH, N, H.

MANY BRITISH -0FFICERS DEAD LONDON, June 25 -—Something of a lull in the fighting as compared to the feverish activity of the last fortnight is enabling military observ- ers on both sides to take stock and forecast future operations. Petrograd claims’ that the Russian defensive positions are so secure that the Austro-Germans will not be able to withdraw many troops for use against the allles of Russia. The Russians assert, further, that their present line before Warsaw is as strong as it ever was and that their armies on the river Dniester will fall back only if the eastward drives of the Austro-Germans from Lemberg threatens to cut them off. The authorities of the central empires are less communicative concerning their future intentions and movements, but it s believed that Warsaw again is their oblective. In England the campaign for muni- tions {s in full swing with the possibility of national registration to ascertain the “man power" of the nation.
