CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
I*i'oparntloii For Rebates
The English department has an
nounced the subject that has been
decided upon for the Teangle de
bates, and has issued U call for stu
dents to try out for the school teams.
The subject decided upon by the
three high schools in the league is
Resolved, That .Military Training
Should Bfe Adopted in the United
States. This subject •was not sub
mitted by Central, and is one that
has been debated on time and time
again by schools and debating so
cieties all over the state. Central
submitted ai\ up-to-date subject on
the government control of railroads,
but the former one seemed to appeal
to the other two schools. Although
this latter subject is an old one, Cen
.tral will strain every effort to pro
duce a winning team. Whether or
not there will be inter-sectional and
interclass debates to select the best
students for the team to represent
the school, has not been announced.
This method has been used in pre
vious years, and has produced won
derful results.
Ijimbcrton Contest Soon
A second important step was
taken by the English department
when the coming contest
was announced yesterday. The sub
ject chosen this year is "The Life of
Daniel Hoone." Orations must be
written by, every boy in the senior
class on this' subject, and the best
will be selected to be given at a spe
cial session of chapel. The prizes
are awarded for the best oratory,
so that all papens submitted on this
subject must be oratorical in con
struction. Special books have been
k-eserved at the libraries for the use
of the seniors, and a large number
of boys have already started to get
their material together for this con
test. •

The Bolshevik artillery is still

showed signs of activity in the Kad

The American and allied forces

The forces which retired from
Shegovarsk, which is about sixty-five
miles north of Ust Padenga, which
was the allied position furthest south
a week ago, to-day halted their
march northward and established
new positions at the villages Vislarka
and ITst Sama, on opposite banks of
the Vaga river, at a strategic bend
in the stream about ten miles north
of Shegovarsk. The new positions
are protected by forests through

German Officers in the
Uniform of Frenchmen
Spied in "Y" Huts
Under shell fire and gas foV three
weeks, the buildings in which he
ran his canteen hit six times, and
finally knocked out by a shell which
killed four men, wounded thirty and
put him in a hospital for two
months. Guy A. Willis, a Grand
Rapids lumberman, has returned on
crutches from France with some
evidence of the zeal with which Y.
M. C. A. canteen men worked with
the troops in the St. Mihiel and
Argonne drives.
Willis was attached to 355 th Regi
ment, 89th Division. In the Toul
semtor which the division Held until
the St. Mihiel drive began, Willis'
Y. M. C. A. outfit had a canteen
near Mont Sec. at Beaumont, and
one of his pleasantjobs was to drive
almost daily around* the famous
Dead Man's Curve on trips to get
supplies for his canteen. Willis en
tered Benny, in the St. Mihiel d.rive,
three hours after the Germans had
been thrown out of it.
In a shell-wrecked building he
found a German kitchen with three
big cauldons. For several nights
he made cocoa-—hundreds of gallons
a night—which was rushed in cans,
shell cases, pails and whatever else
came handy, out to the boys. Three
times shells crashed through what
was left of the roof of the building
in which the Y. M. C. A. had set up
shop, but they kept on at their work
and ran the canteen there for three
weeks, until they were shifted to the
Argonne.
While at Benny, Willies was busy
in the canteen one night when two
officers entered. They wore uni
forms of the 50th French Artillery.
The canteen was full of doughboys
getting cigarettes and chocolate,
and the Frenchmen, who seemed in
a great hurry, picked up several
pieces of chocolate and started to go
out. Then they hesitated and turned
back toward the counter. As they
did so a doughboy heard one of
them say to the other, "Wie viel?"
(How much?)
A group of eight or ten dough
boys en.tcred at that moment, and
in the crowding and'jostling and dim
light the soldier who had heard the
remark lost sight of the officers for
a moment. When he looked for
them again they had vanished.
Headquarters, was telephoned that
spies had been in the canteen, but
the pair hiade good their escape in
the darkness.
In the Argonne drive Willis was
at work in a first *ud station when
Capt. Baker was wounded in the
barrage. Willis went back through
the barrage, serving as a litter bear
er, and helped carry wounded down
through the mud for four kilometres
to the ambulances.
Two days before the Ipst drive in
the Argonne; Willis went back into
the village of Romagne to get sup
plies for a first afU station. As' he
entered the town, the Germans
opened up on it with a battery of
88s, and the second shell sent over
landed in the street within twenty
five l'eet of him. The shell killed
two soldiers on a truck, setting fire
to the gasoline tank and cremating
one of the men. Two others were
killed and thirty wounded. One of
whom was Willis, a piece of steel
being driven through his foot.
The field hospital to which lie
was taken lihd been shelled ten min
utes before he arrived, and four
hospital attendants and several en
gineers had wounded. A few
minutes later some German airmen
came over and bombed the place,
one of the bombs ripping a piece of
cloth from under the head of a
doughboy two stretchers away from
the Y. M. C. A. man. The dough
boy was not even scratched.
Willis spent two months on a cot
in the big hospital at Mosvcs, then
wasshipped home.
