CARLISLE GAME CANCELLED
Indians Quarantined For Smallpox EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
SECURE SUBSTITUTE GAME The inevitable has happened: Car- lisle has cancelled. It was to have been the great game of the season, on next Friday, in Hornell. The whole student body was going; it was to have been a municipal holiday in the city;
all of Western New York was to have furnished interested spectators at the contest. Then the Indians took to smallpox and the law quarantined them for nineteen days. It is not probable that Alfred will have another opportunity to play them this year, and most naturally Alfred is keenly disappointed. However, there are other good teams to win from, and Alfred does not mope over the inevit- able.
CLASS OF I
9I8 ESTAB- LISH NEW RECORD
Buy $wo Liberty Bond For University With Kanakadea Profit Evidently the days of heavy Kan- akadea assessments are over. Clesson O. Poole, the business manager of last year's Kanakadea has demonstrated the possibility of not only breaking even, but of making money on the memory book. And in a most absurd time, too, for printing is excessively high. It is an altgether new thing in Alfred.
The class has decided to buy a Liberty Bond for the University, a most opportune and a most unique way of serving both the Government and the school.
Mr. Poole doesn't attempt to explain the unexpected result except to at- tribute it partly to a fortunate choice of printer, and to the "Junior Follies"
vaudeville which the class so success- fully produced last year. But you can't expect a good business manager to discuss his own good qualities.
WHITE, PHOTOGRAPHER FOR KANAKADEA HERE TOMORROW
Once again nobbily arrayed Junior men will pose for the picture man, and the ladies will conjure up their most bewitching of smiles as permanent records of their loveliness. For to- morrow the White Studio photographer will be here from New York. And he will ferret out all the societies and all the interesting places of, Alfred, and make pictures of them for the Juniors to publish in their year book. The schedule for the pictures will be posted on the bulletin boards.
The other classes have chosen their representatives, the Kanakadea board is finally .complete. The representa- tives are:
Senior—Phyllis Palmer Sophomore—Marian Roos Freshmen—Emma Dinsmore.
Light Alfred Eleven Scores Against Visiting Team On Wet, Slippery Field
DRENCHED STUDENTS CHEER FROM SIDELINES
It had rained considerably before the game. It didn't bother to stop all through it. Spectators on the side- lines, drenched fore and aft, and utter- ly oblivious to the down pour howled themselves hoarse; and breathless be- tween times, watched two unrecogniz- able teams battle up and down through the liquid chocolate glue that consti-
against Alfred; there is no question but that Alfred outplayed the visitors in nearly every part of the game.
The Fiat is printing a picture of the whole game for its readers. The heavy lines represent Alfred's plays, the lighter ones those of Grove City.

tuted the football field. Notwith- standing the student's faith in the Coach and in Coach Sweetland's team, Grove City's heavier eleven appeared to create very uneven odds on the sort of a gridiron Friday's storm had cre- ated. Quite unexpectedly the lighter Alfred eleven not only held the heavier Grove City team, but in spite of the appalling slipperiness of the field, made their downs again and again through the line. It was a battle principally of line plays (Grove City alone attempted to pass) and it was a long series of fumbles as well. There is no question but that the odds were

"CO-OPERATION AS A MEANS TOWARD A NEW WORLD
ORDER"
Dean Main Addresses Students In Chapel
With all the cumulative worth of long, grand experience, Dean Main addressed the student assembly last Wednesday morning on "Co-operation as a Means Toward a New World Order." He related the ideas he ex- pressed to the great Federal Council of Churches which met recently in convention in Pitsburgh and to which Dean Main was a delegate.
"My supreme desire," he said, "in this address, is to move you to feel and think, speak and act, in ever ex- panding terms, ideas, ideals, and effort as you pass in thought, interest, and loyalty, from the smallest community of which you may be members on to world-wide concerns. That was the great central idea of the congress. We face conditions that can be met; prob- lems that can be solved; tasks that can be performed,—but only by our working together. It is too late in the world's history for any centralized power to interfere with human liberty.
And the principle of federal union, federation in the realm of the spirit, of thought of ideals, of all human ac- tivities, constantly spreading, will not l"w it." So the Dean reasoned for federation, federation in the rural com- munities, in the cities; he visualized the one great church that is and the great United States of the world that will be.
We have entered the war for three principles: a league of nations, Democ- racy, and human interests. The war will be a tremendous failure unless it shall be followed by a new and better world. Americans, Englishmen, the

COMMUNITY CHORUS TO PRESENT "THE
BO'S'N'S BRIDE"
The chorus has chosen an operetta as the "bit" they are to do this year.
The Bo's'ns Bride is its title. It is a nautical yarn by Rhys Herbert and promises some delightful solo work beside the customary chorus. And, additional delight, it is to be a costume affair. Undoubtedly the chorus has j never had so splendid an opportunity j to win itself fame; and possibly there j have been few times when the chorus has been so in need of more voices to win it with. Director Wingate is ask- ing for more singers.
GERMANS TORPEDO FIRST EDITOR OF

HALLOWE'EN MASQUERADE Madame Bogie Invites Whole Uni-
versity to Masked Party
Robert Garwood Tells Thrilling Tale To Alfred Students
When the "Verdi," merchant trans- port ship, was torpedoed a few weeks ago, one of the survivors was Robert Garwood, class of '14, and the first edi- tor of the Fiat Lux. After three days- in a thirty foot life boat during whicli time the occupants passed through the most thrilling experiences and several times narrowly escaped being over- turned in the trough of the high run- ning seas, Garwood reached the coast of Ireland and later returned to America. On Monday, a week ago, he addressed Alfred students and towns- people, relating in some detail, the experiences through which he passed.
The Fiat is indebted to the Alfred Sun for the story:
The Verdi left New York on Aug.
12, and fine weather prevailed for the first few days, but on the sixth day out the Verdi encountered storms in mid-ocean. The ship was passing through the danger zone on the tenth day, steaming swiftly through a heavy sea and a blinding rain. Mr. Gar- wood had just left the deck about 1:30 in the afternoon and was passing down the narrow hallway which led to the "pantry" when the inevitable happened—the ship was tor- pedoed. All the ship's lights were extinguished, and the sides of the boat seemed to veritably "cave in." Gar- wood was momentarily stunned, but he finally emerged from the hallway and reached the forecastle. A poison- ous, brown gas was in his nostrils, and he was weak from its effect, but he could see that the "Verdi" was bad- ly shattered, and that she was sink- ing rapidly. He met his partner on the deck; and he seemed calm and in- different, making some casual remark about taking to. the boats.
•The boats were at last manned, and crowded with stewards and engineers
—those that go in the first boats—•
some of them were lowered into the ocean. Some few lives were lost, however, in so doing. The seas were very heavy and it was a delicate job handling the boats.
There were heart-rendering screams from the engine) room where men were trapped by the closing of bulk- head doors, and beyond hope of any human aid. The cries of these poor unfortunates were terrible to hear.
Garwood, as a member of the crew, remained on board to the very last,

Glad Rumors of Incipient Rag Now Madame Bogie, herself, invites'
the whole University to a Hallowe'en party on the evening of October thirty- first. There will be spooks and witches and fairies and a very great many other characters just as awe- some and just as odd, for it is a mas- querade party. The old Academy Chapel will contain the hollow voiced roisterers.
The College Womens' Organization is the guiding spirit of the evening, | and they have invited, beside the col- lege students, the agricultural stu- j dents, through the Country Life Club.
No one knows just exactly what it's going to- be; no one is expecetd to know. Whether the Juniors in gauzy folds will flit through all the gracious bravery of a Greek di'ama, or whether they will gallop through all the lusci- ous frivolity of a musical comedy en- tertainmnt is still a mystery, even to the Fiat. The Fiat doesn't know.
But it bets on the musical comedy.
Without a doubt it is still a good way off, probably even the selection hasn't been made. But it's coming, some- thing deliciously lowbrow, and the Juniors are responsible.

ALFRED CERAMIC GUILD COM- PLETES ORGANIZATION TO
ENTERTAIN CERAMIC EN- GINEERS
With all the charm and interests of a Medieval Craft Guild, t h e Ceramic Guild of Alfred is organized to pro- duce beautiful pottery to market under its own seal. The Fiat has already noted that Miss Robison is president of the governing council. Since then Miss Elsie Binns has been elected manager, and Miss Ruth Canfield as- sistant manager. Two new members have been elected to serve on the jury which passes on th merit of the guild ware. They are Mrs. Crandall of Al- fred, and Miss Alice Cranston.
-The Guild is made up of art students.

WHAT THE ASSOCIATIONS ARE DOING
Y. W. OCTOBER 21
The meetig was in charge of Enid White, whose topic was "Japan Inside Out." Contrary to the usual rule, Japan inside out shows the inate charm of the country. The ancestral worship has retarded her growth not a little. Enid told about the Y. W.
secretary in Japan, Miss Baker, who was with us last spring. Remember how pretty Celia looked in the lovely Japanese kimona? Enid told of Miss Baker's work, which is much like that in our cities; sometimes they purchase slave girls and take care of them.
Then, too, there is an interesting side- line; namely: the training of Japanese girls for Japanese men in the United States, who send back home for wives.
The last part of the meeting was taken up in pleas for contributions, Y. W. dues, missions and conference.
Chain-teas or coffees at the most ap- propriate hour are going to be the thing among the girls. Warning: Be prepared!
WHY NOT ATTEND Y. M.?
Why the small attendance a t Y. M.
last Sunday evening? Was the night air too favorable ? At a time when there is such a large opportunity for constructive efforts, for personal bene- fit, for real service, even though i t be small to the community and to the nation, it is surprising that more do not take advantage of it.
" T h e facts brought back regarding the six or more million young men and boys in the prison camps of Europe and Siberia have already deeply stirred the college men and women of America.
Hundreds of thousands of these men are our own fellow students. Dr. John R. Mott has said that last year's gifts from American students saved the lives of thousands of prisoners. The con- ditions in the prison camps during the coming winter will inevitably be worse than ever before. Hundreds of our own men are already in the prison camps, and, by the inescapable for- tunes of war, many hundreds of thou- sands will soon follow t h e m . "
At the meeting, for those who are anxious really to do their bit in the great task of caring for the spiritual and physical welfare of the men at the front and especially those men of other nations in the prison camps, it was suggested that contributions be made to the " S t u d e n t s ' Friendship War F u n d " by individual members who would sacrifice some specific luxury or indulgence for its benefit.
This contribution would not mean added expense to the student, but rather a diversion of a certain sum of money into a more useful channel.
What is YOUR opinion in regard to this matter. Are YOU willing to get into the game? LET THE Y. M. HELP YOU TO HELP.
Professor W. A. Titsworth will ad- dress the Y. M. C. A. next Sunday evening.
DR. NELSON NORWOOD REPRESENTATIVE
OF LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE
Professor J. Nelson Norwood of Al- fred University has been invited to take part in the direction of the unique Liberty Loan campaign undertaken, at the request of Secretary of the Treas- ury McAdoo, by the League to En- force Peace. This campaign in New York has been placed in the hands of 177 prominent men representing every city and every important town in the State. Similar organization has been effected throughout the country by the
her, the art guild is going to entertain the Ceramic Society. Prof. Binns will lecture on Greek Pottery, and the rest is a secret. Miss Fosdick, Miss Can- field and Miss Hunting are the com- mittee responsible.
Under the leadership of its presi- dent, William H. Taft, the Legaue has been conducting an active Bond cam- paign based upon the conviction that it is able to reach citizens that are not moved by the stock selling arguments.
It has enlisted more than 1,000 public
speakers and many prominent men in pushing the sale of Bonds with the slogan that the Loan is the price of Permanent Peace.

TO SHORTEN THE WAR
A Government Editorial
The effect in shortening the war of a heavy oversubscription to the Sec- ond Issue of Liberty Loan Bonds can liardly be overestimated.
However brave a front Germany may endeavor to present to the outside World and to her own people, the truth
;ls that she is facing fearful odds and Is in dire straits. The embargo placed by President Wilson on American ship- ments to neutrals struck Germany a body blow, arid shipments to her from South American countries are going to be stopped or greatly curtailed through our influence and our control over coal fmpplies needed by their navies and Industries. Germany's efforts for peace are dictated largely by fear of America and America's power. The German people are crying for peace, and the time has come or is shortly coming
Ivlien the German Imperial Govern- ment must needs listen to the German people. They are being fed now on hopes of victory and stories of dissen- sions among the American people and a lack of support of our Government
by our people.No more convincing argument could be made to the people of Germany of the hopelessness of victory being ob- tained by continued fighting than a great oversubscription to the Liberty Loan, demonstrating not only the tre- Inendous power of America but the fact that the American people are whole-heartedly in favor of prosecut- ing the war with vigor and willing to finance our Government to the limit.
Every purchase of a Liberty Loan Bond not only supplies the sinews of War but it shoots a fact into the Ger- man mind—the fact that the American
people are behind the American Army and behind the American President, and that there is no end to this war except the achievement of the ends that America is fighting for. Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan Band does Something to end the war, does some- thing to shorten the war.
When you shorten the war you shorten the terms of our soldiers who serve in France; you save many from death and sufferingand privation. You save others
from the dangerous voyage across sub- marined seas and the dangers of ser- vice in Europe. The success of the Liberty Loan will be a shortening of the war and a saving of American lives. We have given our sons to bat- tle, we must lend our dollars to back them up, to make them powerful and effective, and as safe and as secure as may be.
Our unconquerable determination to fight to the end, to fight to the last man and the last dollar must be mani- fested between October 1 and October 27, 1917, and bring to the German people the hopelessness of their strug- gle in behalf of the German Imperial Government against liberty, right, and justice and the American people.

Floor of Livery Barn Carries Bill Bar- ber and a Horse and Several Tons
of Cement With it to Basement
The cement for the construction of the heating plant has been stored in the farther end of the livery barn to keep it dry. Last week a load was drawn in to be piled up there. The floor gave way and dropped the cement into the basement. In the evening came "Bill" Barber to cover the hole with planks, when the aperture was partially concealed Bill, in a thought- less mood, stepped out onto the end of a loose board and commenced to teeter. Bill is no equilibrist so very gracefully he abandoned the idea of a double somersault and slid quietly in- to the basement. The floor at the other end of the barn grew envious of the fun, and when Mr. Sheldon had gone to lunch it yawned sufficiently to let a horse and several tons of cement through.
OROPHILIANS
At their first meeting Saturday, the Orophilians elected the fallowing officers:
President, John W. Clark Vice President, Paul R. DeMott Secretary and Treasurer, LeRoy Fess
Critic, Prof. J. N. Norwood Teller, G. Adolph Vossler
Mr. W. Errington Clarke was the only new member voted in, but as there are a number of proposals for membership the Oros expect a full list and anticipate some rousing meet- ings.
Mr. Crofoot and Dr. Main spoke of the old Oro spirit and training, show- ing that a man cannot afford to do without the valuable training he gets by taking active part in the Oro work.
Next meeting will be on Saturday, Nov. 3d, and there will be an excellent program.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Pres. Davis is very busy these days.
Last Thursday he attended the New York State Association of College presi- dents at Albany. This week he is to be in New York in attendance on. the New York Country Church Commis- sion, which is a part of the Federal Council of Christ in America. Dr.
Jones and Dr. Paul E. Titsworth were in Whitesville, N. Y., in the interest of the Improvement Campaign.
Dr. Norwood has given a series of three talks before the Federation Clubs.
Mrs. Sweetland has returned. Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Maure of Fulton have been visiting in town. Alexander Kenyon ex-'19, stopped over on his way to Milton College, and A. J. Snell ex- '19, was here for a short time. So was Miss Mable Hood.
Mrs. S. D. /-tz has been to New York recently to visit her husband, David Atz, who has been granted a short fur- lough.
Miss Alice Cranston was home over the week-end, Paul Nichols was in Al- fred. Miss Mary Elizabeth Wilson was
called home this week.

It came from the co-eds, a brand new song to the tune of "Oh! Johnny."
And everybody sang it at the mass meeting last Thursday evening. There was a mass meeting Thursday night, to prepare for Grove City. Now there is a sign on the score board, Alfred 2
—Grove City 0. The mass meeting isn't all to blame, but it helped.
Here is the new song:
Oh! Alfred, Oh! Alfred, How you can play- Ob! Alfred, Olh! Alfred,
Let's win the day.
Now that you see How we can roar, Why don't you rush
And make a score And touchdown.
For its Oh! Alfred, Oh! Alfred Let's hold them down, Then we'll paint the town.
You're not heavy, that's true, But when we look at you
Then it's Oh! Alfred, Oh! Alfred, Oh!
INITIATION
The Eta Phis have initiated their new members, the K.

That is a terrifying word when we consider how the Eta Phis entertained in the wee sma' hours, and how the K. K's.

and after practically all the boats had been manned and put to sea, he found himself alone on the upper deck. He hastily descended to the lower deck, and found that but one boat was left, that being a small boat that was al- ready filled to its utmost capacity with sailors and officers, the last ones ; to leave the ship. There were, all told, 113 men on the "Verdi."
Garwood saw that his chances getting into that boat were very poor and without wasting further time, he dived from the side of the ship. It was a forlorn hope, and his chances of life seemed small, but luck, or provi- dence was with him, and he was seized by a burly "bos'n" and dragged Into one of the boats. Here was res- pite for a few moments at least, but as the boat had been launched with- out the plug being driven into the bottom, the situation was a precarious one. A stream of water constantly flowing in rendered the situation very dangerous in those huge seas.
The boat was at length swamped, and some were washed astern while others clung to the ropes. Another life boat came to their aid, and they were res- cued. It was a thrilling experience.
Then for the first time the German undersea monster was seen; not seen In its literal sense, but the periscope was observed above the angry waves.
It came within twenty feet of the boat Garwood was in and looked over all the boats with that eagle eye—the
EDI-1 periscope. Then the submarine turn- j ed and passing around the sinking

Sails were raised on the life boat, and it was propelled as far away

At length the submarine appeared on top of the water, and men ran out upon the deck with a huge gun. The boat was from 350 to 450 feet in length and resembled a huge cigar in shape. The gun adjusted on deck, thirty-one Germans appeared, and shells were driven into the wreck o£
the "Verdi." The shots were aimed at the water line, and most of them took effect. The ship's magazine was exploded and the poor fellows left on the ship must have perished almost instantly. After eight or ten shots had been fired the ship began to sink more rapidly than before, and soon the bow arose at an angle of 60 de- degrees out of the water. About two hundred feet of the bow was tilted up- ward, stern down, the "Verdi" sank, and as with one last thrust she dis- appeared below the surface, the little party on Garwood's life boat were were silent and meditative.

High up on the top of a rugged cliff the survivors of the "Verdi" saw a man waving at them and making mo- tions toward a certain spot where there was a small aperture between the rocks. The bay was crossed at length and the boat swung into the aperture. Just as she passed through a huge swell rose

From Garwood's life boat other struggling boats could be seen, but soon they were out of sight and the little party of eighteen men were left quite alone on the vast expanse of the ocean waste. There was no suffer- ing for the first few hours, as the men were too excited, but as time wore on hunger overtook the members of the crew, and they partook of a repast con- sisting of two biscuits apiece of hard- tack and two sips of water,

again, but at last, strange as it may seem, the whole eighteen reached the land; the terra firma that they had felt under their feet nearly two weeks before, only this time on the coast of Ireland.
When they had revived and were able to walk, the Irishman who had gesticulated to them from the shore, escorted them to his hut—a fisher- man's abode, which consisted of but three rooms. Here the sailors were given buttermilk to drink and things when a to eat. The people were typically steamer was discovered about ten

One of the men put his hand in the aperture and held out the water while his partner located the plug. "The kid that held the dike in Holland had nothing on me," said the man whim- sically.
The rain fell at frequent intervals and as most of the men were hatless and coatless the exposure was very trying. At last morning came and the sun appeared, drying out the wet clothes and creating a pleasanter at- mosphere generally.
