MATHEWS TO GIVE FIRST LECTURES DR. FINLEY IS THE WEIL SPEAKER The McNair and the Weil lec tures to . be delivered here this spring promise much in the way of depth of interest and power of appeal.

I ill. l V"' U WW struggle for a higher plane of hu manity. But whether we win the war or whether we have another struggle depends upon the way in which those back of the line do their duty, said Dr. Ward. The task of the soldier is limited; the utmost that he can do is to defend. The constructive force must fall upon those who have been spared energy. The present need of the world demands all that we as men can offer. Our customs, our society, our homes, our institutions have proven inadequate. There must be a fundamental change. The ago ny of the world calls for new or ganization, based not on hate and greed, but on love and unselfish ness.' 'The only way to get a stable and ensuring world is to ' have a single code of morals for states as well as for individuals. Minstrels Are At Work The Carolina Minstrel kings are hard at work under Director Jordan on a new and clever pro duction.

The editor-in-chief said, just before he left, that he and the editors were very enthusiastic about the book and believed that; this year's Yackety Yack, despite the adverse circumstances of the war, would be one of the best in recent years. He said with the military features predominating the book would appeal to a larger number of students than heretofore. CO. A AGAIN AWARDED THE BATALLION COLORS HOLDING'S MEN WIN COMPETI TIVE DRILL MR. HILL GIVES FLAGS DONORSPEAKS AT PRESENTATION Delivers Patriotic Talk Praising the Two Nations Whose Flags He Added to the Collection Interesting Field Maneuvers Are Staged . Having won the colors in com petetive drill for the second time, Co. A was presented with the American, British, French, and North Carolina flags at a ceremo nial parade Monday afternoon. Mr. John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, presented the colors to the guard. The French and British flags were presented as gifts from Mr. Hill. A slow drizzle fell during the entire ceremony but it didn't seem to dampen the ardor of the battal ion, which passed in review, with a snappy swing, before Capt. Al len, President Graham, Mr. Hill, Lieut Leonard and Lieutenant Whitfield. " . In presenting the flags Mr. Hill spoke of the nations represented by the flags. In the presentation of the English colors he said Eng land had greatly aided us in the past. They materially assisted us in the Louisiana purchase in 1803, in the Holy Alliance in 1822, in the Monroe Doctrine in 1824, and in our war with Spain in 1898. And now in 1918 with England as our ally in the great cause of freedom for all peoples, unfound ed prejudice of some Americans toward England should be forgot ten and sympathy and co-operation should take its place. Presenting the flag of France Mr. Hill said that the opportunity of meeting our debt to France and Lafayette had come and that the debt was being paid by the Ameri can soldiers in the trenches of France and Flanders. He spoke of this war as 'a war of great ideals with America on the side of chival ry, honor, love of justice, liberty, humanity and arrayed against the German ideals of fear, lust, force, brutality, conquest, blood and iron. After the color guard had marched to the winning company the battalion passed the reviewing party in platoon formation, com pany front, and column of com panies. Wednesday afternoon, a success ful field maneuver was staged on the Hillsboro road. With Co. D and the half of Co. C as defenders, the remaining companies attacked the bridge on the Hillsboro road. Being greatly outnumbered the defenders slowly withdrew and in trenched themselves on the high hill just beyond the creek. It was there that the final charge was made. Yesterday afternoon another route march was made down the Durham road. The band preceded Co. A which was followed by the color guard and the other three companies. From the number of men going out for horse shoe pitchinf it looks as though there is going to be a hard time deciding to whom the "N. C," Monogram will be awarded. I 1 '3 HA 9 IS0 r? I hi I .,fe p.
