Lieut Col Q. G. Woodwark. of the British army, speaking at .the city auditorium last night, said the wlao thing Just now would bo (or "Eng land and America to have a fleet suf flciently largo o guarantee the free dom of the seas." Discussing the league of nations, Colonel Woodwark said that the "best league of nations would be closer union of the allies." The British officer during his ad dress reviewed the record made by the British during the war, and also' hlffhly complimented the Americana. "When the American divisions were ' ordered into battle at Chateau-Thler ; ry,". said he, "their orders were to how the British and' French what the Americana could do. They were not to take prisoners, nor were they to-be taken prisoners. And they gave the boche such a start that he never stopped until ;. he had crossed . the , Rhine." This, brought tremendous ap plause., " , , . r Colonel Woodwark and Commander Blackwood delighted the audience. They spoke entertainingly and in formingly of affairs during the recent . .:;. war emergency and the present peace making situation.) - - , Colonel Woodwark referred to an article in a Charleston "paper which asked: "What will England do?" in ft a rather scornful manner. 'Eng- v land," said the officer, "will accept anything from President . Wilson or anybody else - that will t prevent an other such catastrophe as she has Just experienced." Extract from his ad 4rdreas follow: ... ."' "Some claim that England wants v 'atl the credit for. winning the' war. . . We do not say England won the war. We nay that France won the war with the assistance of the allies. England 1 just did all she could to beat " the ' , Boche. Germany now has been' beat en and she must be made to feel she has been beaten. The dirty dogs ap- . plause) pleaded for America to feed them. ' Yes, we'll feed them when everybody else has been fed." .' Referring to the Americans, Col onel Woodwark made the following remarks: "An English soldier asked his American cousin how he liked France. 'It's worse than hell. re- - plied the American. , 'Gee.' said hla English cousin in surprise, ' You Americans sure do travel a loL' An Englishman asked a marine once if he were an American: Naw,' was the reply. 'I'm a marine.' " 'Colonel Woodwark in reciting the ' occupation by the British of points in other countries than, France spoke of ; ' mOIIKST QUALITY, v ' . ?

The association also expressed favor of following this policy in selecting an athletic director for the institution. - -- lengthy consideration was given to conditions at the university which whiah hava arisen aa the result of demobilization of : the student army training corps, with ,the loss to the 1 school of, a large number of its 1918 1 students. New officers of the county) association also were elected. H. S. Hall, president, was the pre- siding officer, .and explained the ob-) i Ject of the gathering. He urged the ! . alumni to rally to the support of the , , institution during what he declared. is! a critical period, when it is changing from the status given It by the etu- dent army training corps to its pre war status, '.an a aiso Because 01 me recent, loes of its executive head.

A resolution was ottered by W. T. Shore, and unanimously adopted, in ' which it was stated the Mecklenburg alumni "wore shocked beyond expres sion' over the death of Dr. Graham.
