the Naval Aviation as barracks.
The present occupants of the dor-
mitory rooms are being notifiedd
that they must be out by Satur-
day, September 21st, at twelve
o'clock. These changes are necessi-
tated by the fact that the Navy
will not occupy the Civil Engineer-
in' building. The Army Aviation
flights have been using building one,
but are getting through this week.
It is the intention of the faculty
to have the S. A. T. C. use the Civil
Engineering building for classroomis
and drafting rooms...

NEEDS FUNDS FOR MATERIALS
After supplying the needs of Tech-
nology men in service, the M.II.T. War
Service Auxiliary has some time and
energy which it would be glad to devote
to the making of hospital garments and
bandages for the Allies. For the pur-
chase of the materials, hlowever, special
funds must be provided, since its princi-
pal w ork is maintained by designated
g oifts from Techlnolog -men for their
brothers-in-arms'. The workroom -is in
full and regular operation; there are no,
overhead charges for rent, light, hleat,
or salaries, and money received for this
purpose wrill be spent solely for materi-
als for hospital garments, as indicated
above. No surgical gauze dressings are
mlade. Donations of hospital garments
front unrestricted gifts. such as are now
-'reatlv desired, amounting in value to
mor e than $82000. have already been
Imade to the Britisll and the Italian
war relief.An appeal is hereby+ made by
the
elaihan irsa. Edwrs.Ew d C,>nnininchha
and the director, -Nlrs. Wl . T. Sedgx wick,
for a fund of $5000 for the purpose
, stated. Contribultions, large or small,

To Help Press Associations
There wvill be a dlelav oi froml three
to five dlays in the p)1l blic anlnounce-
ments of casualties in the daily press.
Tllis -was made necessary whlen the sev-
eral press associations of the country
notified the WVar Depatrtmenlt that the
transmission by themi of the recently en-
larn-ed casualty lists so interfered with
the transmission of other wvar newvs that
tbere Wvas danger of seriously deferrint,
either one or the other, and the Com-
mittee on Public Infor-mation wvas re-
qluested to devise a means of inde-
pendent delivery to flhe lpress. To meet
the emergency, the Postmaster General
accepted, tne responsibility of translnit-
ting th'e complete lists daily by tele-
graph across the Contillent.
Three Distribution Zones
Tlle country w^as divided into three
zones, centerin- at Washington, Chicago.
and S~an Francisco. At these points the
complete casualty lists are nowv being
duplicated and mailed to every daily
newvspaper. To prevent unequal press
competition, the lists are-sent subject to
release dates. 'The newspapers are un-
der pledge to make no use of the'-infor-
,mation contained in these lists prior to
the release notice dates.

exereises today.The Teehlmology that wvill open
its,

respects a v ery different institution froinl
that which it. has been in the past.
There -%will be the regular courses a-s ill
past years. the Student Army Training,

the school for Radio engineers, and the
sehool for Deck Officers and that for

to include all able-bodied students, andt
these, being, in the army, wvill be subh
ject to call for service if necessary, oi
may be transferred to other schools Xit
the War Department wvishes to do tL-,.
The regular courses will be taken af-
those l!ot sib~ject to the draft, which
zvill include probably a couple of hull
dred nlen from foreign countries, whle
the other schools wrill be carried on in
much the same wany as now.s There is.,
likely to be another group of intensives
courses for neural architects. In addi-

TRANSFERRED TO SIGNAL CORE'S
A commtunication from the Chief Sifr

Institute seeks to secure material avail.
able for the Signal Corps. Its text is to
the effect that, if prev ious to this in-
formation any of the Technology Anu
dents who are qualified in their trallm-
ina, for service in the Signal Corps are
ordered to -report for military service by
their local draft boards, it is renolootwp
that steps be taken to ascertain their
military addresses immediately on their
arrival at clamp, and the information
sent forward to the Ghief Signal Officer
in order that their transfer to the Sig-
nal Corps may be requested._
Everyone should ask himself, What lb

191D POT'ASH SUPPLY SHORTH
Experts believe that there is nochance for the United States to get theamount of potasla needed to meet de-mands next year. Estimates for 1918show that there should be 150,000 tonsK20, or from 4100,000 fo 500.000 tonsof potash salts. This is only about haltof the normal imports before the war.C'ommercial fertilizer concerns iniist·bear the brunt of the shortage. In 191-6there was a domestic, production of9.720 tons, and this increased in 1917 to126,577 tons. This output for 1917 wagabout twelve per cent of the normalsupply.

To those who were privLet-ed toknow him intimately the death of ArloBates brin-s an indescribable sense ofdesolation and loneliness. The w-ithdraw--al of that vital and many-sided per-sonalitv leaves a void that cannot eas-ilv be filled. The wide ran-e of his ex-t~rnal interests, and the serene ifsomewhat sombre philosophy of Iris in-ner life, were alike rare and note-w-orthv.

served to relieve and illuminate theperplexities of a troublous lifti. Everysu-aestion of fun. every delicate nuanceInof liumor in life or in literature, calledfrom him an instant and whole-hearted response. He loved the littlethin-s, the modest qualities, the unas-S11111111" virtues in literature, as well asthe ,reat canvas crowded with flaures.
Aside from the main path of his ac-tivitv lie found relaxation and pleasurein a very unusual acquaintance with thebotanv �f -Neiv En-land, and a diversionwhich deepened into serious interest inthe Indian sbell-licaps and kitchen mid-dens, of the Atlantic coast. His collec-tion of Indian ii-riplements. fruits andpottery was probably as fine in quality,and as, complete as any private collec-tion in '_Kew Enalaud.
But the joy of his workinc, life wasfound in the study of literature. Tothis everything was made to contribute.And few teachers of literature. andstill feiver writers were so inibued aslie with the sl)iritual riches of the nobleliterature embodied in our En-lishton-ue. -No Tech students sat throualihis lectures listless and inattentive.Epi-rain and illustration and applica-tion and paradox clothed the subjectwith a new interest and meanina in hisWcture room: litera-11-ure was trans-formed froin a polite recreation into avital working influence. Every manfelt it. and his students have carriedthat influence with them beyond thehour and beyond their student days intothe problems and experiences of life.
Mr. Bates's own literary Nvork in thefiehl of fiction and of poetry has beenconsidered elsewhere, but it may prop-erly be said here that if one wishes to,-et at the core of his ethical systeiii,the central principle from which devel-oped the austere but ardent philosophybv which his own life was -shaped, heshould turn to the remarkable poem,"The Torch Bearer," read bv '.,N[r. Batesat the centennial anniversary of theincorporation of Bowdoin College, hisalina mater, in 1894. In its nobility ofspirit, its splendid loyalty to ideals, itworthily represents the writer and theman %vbose death is so widely and sotruly mourned.
OVERSEAS CAP WILL NOTSUPERSEDE CAMPAIGN HAT
Everv now and then somebody pub-
lislies a statement that tM overseas capis likely to supersede the campaign hatthroughout the Army. While the valueand adaptability of the overseas cap forthe service for which. it is now theauthorized headgear is reco
r, gnized thereis no possibility that the Campaign hatwill be abandoned at present. The cam.paign hat with its wide brim was adopt-ed after long 11 years of study and experi-ence as the best available hat for Army
-iise Generally in the United States andin the Islandg. It is unnecessary to re.mind anyone of the untitness of theoverseas cap for use by our men in thehotter climates of & United Statesespecially in the desert country of theSouthwe�st, where a very large part ofour Armv now in tliis country is likelyto remain for some time to come. Dis-cussion of the Army bead-car questionhas brought out a few advocates of theadoption of a, helmet somewhat similarin t-ype to that worn by British troopsin tropical countries. Tt will be re-called that some extensive experimentsivere made ivith. b(Imets during theearlier TeaTS of American occupation inthe Philippine-, but the consensus ofopinion was filially a-ainst. the use otthe helmet and the campaign hat wasretained. There is every reason to be-lieve that the overseas cap which ishe-1 ig rnacle in quantitics for usle InFrance by the A. E. F. will. be retainedfor that service, and it may be issuedto troops immediately destined forvice abroad; but the, old familiar amluseful campaign hat is likely to remainwith us in most sections of the UnitedStates as a part of the American soi,dier's uniform for a great many years,to coine, or until something that will,prove a material iniprovenient, upon itjis f ound.
Overseas Cap f or MarinesThe U. S. Marines in France are wear,
ing the overseas cap as is issued to themby the Army. It is not intended atthis thne to adopt the overseas cap forhome or tropical use. The cap used inFrance is being furnished in the forestryor winter field service cloth and in thekhaki material. There is a possibilitythat the overseas cap may be adopte�-(tfor use of Marines on ships. Sampleshave been made, it being proposed toprovide a blue cap for cold weather an%a white one for warm weather.
ARMY BANAS TO BE AUGMENTED
The recently announced decision of thewar department to increase army bandsto forty-nine men and to grant conimis-sions to their leaders is most gratifyingr_1to all who realize what an inspirationngood band music is to the soldier.

Coniiin, as hle did throucrh a Iona lineof Encylish and New- En-land ancestry,he inherited the Puritan intensity ofspirit but without the Puritan limita-toils of outlook. He had emancipatedhiimself from. the theological formulasof Iiis eatrly years, but lie could notenianeipat'"e himiself frooil tie Puritanloyalty· of spirit, the absolute fidelit?-to convictions. the contemptuous scornof sliam. and pretense in wlintever folrmthey might appear. Genuinenecss, sinccerityof thiou-lit and purpose counted forinorle than au-lit else in his apprlaisalof character.
It was sometimes said of hini thathis attitude tow-ard life and his fellow--inen was tinged with cynicisnl. In themakeup of his intellectual and mnoralnature there was the de'-ree of cvnicismuthat a cliciist in a phlrsical analy~sismay- report Jas a "~trace."t But iMr.B,,&sS was in no sense a evnie. Higis in-terests were too broad. his appreciatioiistoo instinctive, his sympathies too gen-lcrous to alllow- the seed of evnicism tofake root.
He dearly loved an epigrain.. Thewringed phrase that sped st~raighlt to itsmark seemed to hinl as legitimate asthe cumbrous, qualified announcementof a trutli-and more effective. He wasa remarkable conversationalist, not in-frequently becoming in his talk as auto-Icratic as Dr. Johnson himself, but bealwavs gave bis listener a chance inthe end. And often these declarationswere given thqir dogmatic form. notbecause tbey -represented his maturedconvictions, but because he thus clari-fled the subject for his own mind.
