FIRST  FRENCH  ORAL  PA88ES ONLY
50'/,  OF SENIOR8
B.  M.  WINS  FIRST VAR8ITY  GAME
Takes Offensive and Shoots Six Goals
HADDONFIELD  FAIL8  TO   SCORE
Haddonneld failed to score against the
Bryn Mawr Varsity last Saturday. The
Bryn Mawr forward line, backed by a
good defense, played a strong offensive
game, running up a score of six goals.
The visitors' forward line was consis-
tently weak, while the Varsity's chief
fault was that the players got out of
position and ran into one another.
First  Half Gets Three Goals
P. Turle '18, left wing, at once rushed
the ball down Into Haddonneld territory
where, after a corner and a good hit
from V. Litchfleld '17, M. Willard '17,
shot the first goal.   The second goal was

PHILANTHROPIC  PARTY  IN  GYM
Candy, Cones and Dancing
Dr. W. Xesbilt Chambers, a missionary
for the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at Adana, spoke on the present sit-
uation in Turkey last Wednesday evening
in Taylor. He first read President Wil-
son's proclamation in regard to the ob-
servance of Armenian Relief Days.
The Armenians and Syrians themselves,
said Dr. Chambers, as well as the Ameri-
can officials and missionaries in Turkey,
expect aid from the United States be-
cause they have been taught to expect it.
They had no hospitals and schools until
American and English missionaries es-
tablished them, and after the massacre in
1905 $60,000 was given to feed the desti-
tute. The Armenians, Dr. Chambers con-
tinued, are a brave and Intellectual peo-
ple and must be saved from extermina-
tion by the Turks.
One Dying Every Minute
At the close of his talk. Dr. Chambers
touched briefly on the suffering which he
said was too horrible to dwell upon. He
described the roads lined with dead bod-
ies, the thousands of children who have
no Idea where their parents are, and the
market places where girls are sold for a
dollar. In this desolate country, he said,
people are dying at the rate of one a min-
ute from hunger and exposure and the
suffering will be doubled during the com-
ing winter unless relief comes.

palm to the affirmative.    M.  Martin de-

sible.

at Wellesley, and an ardent sympathiser
in the struggles of the Socialist and Labor
parties, is to address the open meeting of
the College Settlement Association in
Taylor Hall, Saturday night. President
Thomas will give the address of welcome.
Miss Scudder was ono of the Important
factors in adjusting the recent strike at
Lawrence. She has been closely associated
with the College Settlement Association
since its beginning and was one of its
earliest presidents. Her work in the
C. S. A. has been especially connected
with Denlson HouBe, Boston.
Delegates  from   Other  Colleges
The officers of the C. S. A., several of
the workers, and delegates from the un-
dergraduate chapters of Smith, Vassar,
Wellesley, Barnard and other colleges,
are coming to Bryn Mawr for the meet-
ing, which is part of the regular fall con-
ference to be held this year in Philadel-
phia. They will arrive at five o'clock
and be shown around the campus by a
committee from the undergraduate chap-
ter. They have been invited by Presi-
dent Thomas to dine at the Deanery be-
fore the evening meeting in Taylor.
A reception in Rockefeller will follow
the meeting to which the undergraduate
chapter has invited the faculty, and the
members of the College Settlement Asso-
ciation.
The Bryn Mawr Undergraduate Chap-
ter of the C. S. A. has been reorganized
this year after two years of passive ex-
istence. The chapter will offer work of

Plans are being made by the "Bosses"
of the Republican and Democratic par-
ties on the campus to have a rousing
rally, speeches by the faculty and under-
graduates, and a torchlight procession.
This will be on Monday night, November.
6th, preceding the straw vote on Tuesday.
There will be a meeting before the
rally, at which outside speakers will dis-
cuss the merits of the Republican, Demo-
cratic,  Socialist   and  Prohibition  parties.
"It was considered best to have two
meetings", said Miss Shipley, president
of the Undergraduate Association, "in
spite of the wish of some, as it would be
impossible to have the desired costuming
and heckling at a meeting with outside
speakers present. The more formal meet-
ing will take place some days previous to
the rally on Monday".
No one may vote In the straw vote on
Tuesday who has not registered on the
30th. Registration will take place at the
ballot boxes in Taylor.
The plans of the different party leaders
have not yet been announced. The party
eaders are: for the Democrats, P. Turle
'18, chairman; for the Republicans, E.
Marquand '19, chairman.
The other parties have not organized
as yet.
