Nineteen hundred and thirteen's second wartime reunion comes next May or June, depending on what develops to be the best time for the Administration.

Our Fifth in 1918 was attended by twelve in the class and Delia Ward with Sherm made the thirteenth. Some were in uniform and on furlough.

Now we are at war again—and our Thir- tieth comes up. What is the best policy for reunion? Your scribe has wondered and listened and attended the reunions last May to see what war reunions could be like. What does Dartmouth need of us? Doesn't the college need the Alumni sup- port and enthusiasm more than ever? We'll have the reunion and let's everyone make the effort to be in Hanover if possible. "Keep it simple, but by all means let's go."

Next month we'll be able to give you the thoughts of the Alumni Council and the Administration's plans.

In September the American Red Cross headquarters announced the arrival of the Red Cross ship Mount Everest with a mil- lion-dollar cargo of milk and food for the children of unoccupied France. It slipped quietly into the harbor at Marseilles. The relief ship hoisted the Red Cross flag in honor of an official visit by S. Pinkney Tuck, United States charge d'affaires in Vichy.

On September 30th Kippy Tuck saw Chief of Government Pierre Laval and asked informally for information about the arrest of some 1400 Americans in occupied France. It was said that a short time after seeing Tuck, Laval conferred with Krug von Nidda, German Counsul General in Vichy. The American Embassy said it did not have a list of the Americans arrested.

Early in September the Secretary had dinner with Chuck and Ruth Stone at their 1500 acre farm in Andover, N. H. Jane was at home, having received her master's de- gree at Michigan in June. Barbara and Ruth Ann are both in college now. Chuck has the start of a marvelous herd of Here- ford cattle.

Phil Sauer writes that young Phil is working in Minneapolis, married and the father of two children, a boy and a girl. Phil, Senior, has a date next June at Den- ison University for David's commencement; David is in the Navy V-7. Phil then plans on our Thirtieth at Hanover.

CASUALTY

Brig Knight is in the Keene, N. H., hos- pital following an accident at Fitzwilliam. August 14th in "My Day" was spent at the Statler trying to decode priority regulation. Then on his way to Marlboro, N. H., they ran into a washout between Fitzwilliam and Troy. The seat in front of him pulled a "Joe Louis" on his chin and he was "out like a light." "The car had tipped over and I was laid out in the baggage rack on the other side of the car." Dr. MacAusland from Boston strapped up some broken ribs and he is now on a fracture board. "I shall be on hand for the 30th of next May, how- ever."

Lt. "Mose" Linscott is now at Fort On- tario, N. Y., following his training course at Oglethrop this past summer.

A class dinner at the Parker House pre- ceeds the "reunions" at the University Club on October 16, the night before the Harvard game.
