In traveling through France, he writes
that among former Nebraska men he
has met, are Captains Silas Bryan and
Archer L. Burnham. He also had the
privilege of seeing Miss Alice Howell,
university instructor now engaged in
Red Cross work, who treated him the
Ice cream and doughnuts. He writes
in part:
At present I am enrolled in the four
month's course In the University of
Grenoble. There are about 400 other
American soldiers here, this being
one of the French schools which has
opened its doors to the members of
the A. E. F. I was fortunate enough
to have been detailed to attend, so at
present I am hard at work with the
others in the first month of French.
After the first month, courses In law
and science are opened for us. The

Accompanied by their piano, twenty
Sig Alph vocalists piled into the big
rest truck procurable and proceeded to
make the rounds of all fraternity and
sorority houses. To the strains of the
piano they sang old-time college ana

for "Good night, ladies."

very Interesting. I have a room in a
home near the university and I pride
myself in believing that I am getting
along with my French.
On my trip to Grenoble I stopped
at Dijon where I met Captain Silas
Bryan. He is attending the univer
sity at that place. Captain Archer
Burnham Is an Instructor at the Amer
ican university at Beaune, near Dijon.
The only Nebraskan I have met here
thus far Is Herman Yost. SI Bryan
told me that Professor Robblns Is here
but as yet I have not met him.
A short time ago I was treated to
doughnuts and ice cream by Miss
Alice Howell at Naufchateau. She is
with the Red Cross there and Is known
by all In that sector. All the patients
at the big hospital center are greatly
in love with her and her ice cream
and doughnuts. She has done a great
deal of fine work for them all.
Grenoble is a very beautiful place
as you perhaps know. The sight of
the Alps from one's window is quite
wonderful.
I presume that many students have
returned for the second semester's
work. They are very fortunate In be
ing mustered out of the service so
quickly. Many of us must count on
many months more of service. My
division, the eighty-eighth, is not
scheduled to sail until after July 1.
I sincerely hope that the school
soon goes back to a pre-war basis and
that this letter finds you In good
health. Hoping to hear from you
soon, I am.
Sincerely yours,

Former Member of Base Hospital
Unit 49 Describes German
Capital.
At least one university man has had
the pleasure of dining ln Berlin.
Paul Connor, '18, a former member
of Nebraska base hospital unit -49,
writes to a friend In the university of
his experiences In the German capitol.
His letter follows:
"Our detachment arrived here the
15th in charge of convoy of twenty
six cars of Red Cross supplies. I
guess you know that Redelfs, George
Driver and I transferred to the Red
Cross Commission to Germany when.
Base 49 prepared to return home.
The new unit is composed of forty
fellows practically all Uni men. We
were stationed in Paris for a month
and then started for Berlin the 12th.
Had a splendid trip through the old
front, Belgium, and across Germany.
Stopped at many of the larger towns
along the way.
"We are now quartered In a dandy
hotel here waiting assignment to our
special duties. Berlin is quite a city
and in keeping with everything else
German, It Is laid out on a very care
ful plan. As a permanent stopping
place it does not compare with Paris
for It lacks the life and gaiety and
variety of the latter place. For the
present it Is especially interesting,
however, because so many eventful
occurrences are taking place here and
all eyes are turned toward it to see
what will happen next
'Things have not been altogether
tranquil since the signing of " the
armistice in the German capitol. The
11th of November is known here as
the revolution. On the 24th of Decem
ber a second revolution occurred and
hundreds of people were killed in
street fighting. The kaiser's palace,
the university, and many other public
buildings bear the marks of that little
6pat. Ever since then there have been
clashes between government soldiers
and Spartacists or other discontented
revolutionists for control of the city.
"The last big "free for all" took place
last week. The government decided
it must end and an order was issued
to shoot all persons carrying firearms
without proper authority. All to
gether over a thousand men and wo
men suffered the penalty. The 13th
two hundred and twenty captives were
lined up and machine guns were turn
ed upon them. That was sufficient to
scare all other "would be" revolution
ists and marauders into submission
at least for the present. Machine gun
fire can be heard several times a day
In the outskirts of the city but it
doesn't last long. The government
troops have the balance of power so
much on their side that good order Is
maintained.

the people stare at us whenever we

Track Meet.
Since the first set of tryouts yester
day for the Drake Relays, Coach
Stewart has almost reached the de
cision to send a quartet of milers with
the 220 men. Tryouts will continue
today and tomorrow and the final
selections will announced Friday.
McMahon, Gibbs and Ed. Smith
have already been picked for the 880
yard relay and either Stephens, Bryans
or Fuchs will be the fourth man. The
track was too sticky yesterday for a
reliable test and the heats today and
tomorrow will decide the Issue.
Competition among the milers for
position on the four mile relay is
speeding up. The distance men who
have been showing up best are: Gil
lllan, Newman, Egan, Ted Smith,
Troendly and Campbell. The best
time yesterday was made by Troendly
and Egan. Egan Is going good and is
almost sure of a berth by virtue of
his performance In the tournament
last Saturday when he won first In
both the one and two mile.
Distance Men Handicapped
Cornhusker distance men are at a
disadvantage when they compete with
other valley cinder stars due to the
fact that practically every other uni
versity In the valley possesses a large
modern gym with an Indoor track
where the long distance runners can
build up endurance all through the
winter. 'Ames for example has a gym
containing both dirt and cork tracks
and when the spring season opens
the team is already In trim.
In spite of this handicap Nebraska
has been putting out some of the
best track teams in the valley. In the
past two years she has suffered defeat
only at the hands of Missouri among
valley conference teams. Last year
with Harold McMahOn, Mike Finney,
Graf, Grau, Gerhart, Townsend, B. Mc
Mahon and Hubka, Coach Stewart had
a combination of athletes that would
have made a showing anywhere.
Pennsylvania Relays
Coach Stewart has definitely de
cided that Nebraska will have no
representation In the largest national
