Yale Celebrates Its Alumni Day With War Time Seriousness By Associated I'ress New Haven, Conn., June 19. — | Alumni day at Yale University was j without time-honored festivities. ' There were no class groupings in costume about the campus, no bonds playing, no parade to Yale field for the ball game, and no class dinners. The many hundreds of graduates; back for their reunions took the i simple program seriously. Presi- i dent Arthur T. Hadley addressing them in Battel Chapel, said: "And in God's good providence i we are going to emerge from the war a better place of education than we were at the beginning; not mere ly better because the coming gene ration of students will be more seri ous, but better because the coming generations of professors and in structors \yill be more practical. They will have had a lesson in adapting means to ends. 1 venture to hope that when we readjust our ! courses after the war's experience i we shall know how to make our courses more useful to the country I in the best and fullest sense of the word useful."

Twenty-five hundred persons were at the station to bid them farewell. Women threw flowers before the evangelist and his wifo, as they made their way with difficulty through the long lines of people gathered in the station. The crowd sang ."Brighten the Corner," and as the train was pull ing out they sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." While the evangelist was far from being "all in," heplainly showed, during his short stop here, the ef fects of his strenuous New York campaign, in which he addressed 1,- 250,000 persons, got personal pledg es to reform from 93.000 "trail hitters," card-indexed 65,000 of the penitents and raised $114,000 for ihe Red Cross. For his greatest cam -1 paign he received nothing himself. The expenses, $175,000, were un derwritten by New York men. From his home at Winona Lake "Billy" will go to his apple ranch in Oregon in about a week. His next campaign will begin at Los Angeles on September 4, and he will spend the summer in getting back into condition. He said yesterday: "I wish T had strength to go away with the boys. I'd like to go to the front, and I'd also like to do work in the concentration camps, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm afraid mv strength won't stand it. It's going to take some months to get back in to shape." "He's got to rest," "Ma" Sunday announced, decisively, and as the train began to move "Billy" admit ted, "Ma's right." P. 0. Department Ready to Deliver Store Parcels New York. June 19. The Post Office Department of the United States is ready and willing to take over the delivery service of ail the retail dry goods stores in New York and every other city in the United States, according to E. L. Howe, exe cutive secretary of the National Dry Goods Association, who said the an nouncement was based on state ments tftade to him in Washington last week by Postmaster General Burleson. The proposal of the Postmaster General, he said, was that the re tail dry goods stores surrender their delivery equipment to' the govern ment for at least the duration of the war. and then mall their pack ages according to parcel post rates, special arrangements for handling the business being made by the Post Office Department. Mr. Howe add ed that the department had been experimenting in the retail delivery service in several cities with suffi cient success to demonstrate the practicability of the undertaking. He was not at liberty to name the cities where the experiments had been made. The plan, which has Mr. Howe's strong endorsement as a war meas ure. will be submitted to the retail trade, the merchants in anv locality being free to decide for themselves whether they adopt it. The attitude of New York merchants is still in doubt, as few of them, apparently, have heard enough of the details of the plan or studied It long enough to come to final decisions. Big Crops Expected Next Fall, Says Expert Chicago, June 19. 'The prospects for a record-breaking food vield are such that I can see no justification for abnormal prices." said C. .1. Blanch ard. chief statistician of the Federal reclamation service, who has com pleted a survey of crops on reclama tion projects, and stopped in Chicago yesterday. , "It is going to he a whale of a crop," said Mr. Rlanchard, "hut the problem remains to get labor on to these great tracts for the harvest." Projects In Colorado, New Mexico. Texas. I'tah, Idaho. Nebraska and South Dakota were stirveyed He es timated that while gross returns were S3B an acre last year, they would he S4O this year If properly harvested. Blanchard found that farmers had extended themselves to Increase pro duction and that hankers and merchants had patriotically assisted by granting credits often without se curity. A less satisfactorv discovery Wi.s that England's mistake In enlist ing skilled farmers had been repeated on many of the projects. Their places will have to be taken hv Inex perienced help, and that Mr. Blanch ard said, is a serious handicap.

Each rei ment will be "skeletoned," that Is the trained men divided into other regi ments and their places taken by rookies who will have the advantage of the older men's training.

Of the total number of men sent to the regular army training • camps at Columbus, Ohio. Saturday and Sunday the Harrisburg district recruited 50 per cent. Unless the other sections of the State reach their quota and bring the entire State up to its required number, men will be drafted to fill the deficit. Recruiting yesterday in this dis trict was again strong, Marysville coming to the fore with three enlist ments. The honor roll for yesterdny is: Burt Rinehart, Marysville; John A. Rinehart, 104 Lincoln street, and Reid H. Fortenbaugh, 211 Maple avenue, medical department; Ray mond V. Martin, Chestnut street, Newville; Paul K.

The vote was 28 in favor of the resolution for recall and 125 against it. The resolution orlslnated in the Senate last night and it was stated that the bill was to be recalled for amendment. Charges were made on the floor of the House this morning that it was a scheme to kill the bill. When the resolution came up Mr. Wallace, raised the point that the bill had not yet reached the Governor, but the Speaker said thai it was out of the custody of the House. Mr. Wallace criticised the Senate action and Speaker Baldwin said that he preferred that members of one branch should not attack the other body of the Legislature. Mr. Milliron, Armstrong, raised the point that the dlscuosion was out of order, but was not sustained. Mr. Wallace then declared that the bill had passed the House when there was a large attendance and that to recall meant the death of the bill. Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, contended that to recall the bill would be sim ply fair play for the Senate, which asked it. Mr. Sarig, Berks, asserted in a speech that "the same trick" was tried on the same bill two years ago. and Mr. Campbell, Butler, said that the resolution was open to suspicion. Mr. Black, Dauphin, said Harris burg favored the bill and urged that the recall plan be defeated, while Mr. Stltes. Montgomery, said that if the bill was ever recalled it would be Riven "a hypodermic injection" in a Senate committee and never be heard of more. GEORGE BOWER DIES George F.
