manager of the campaign. The wom
en's committees have done especially
well, he said.
The counting of the cash and pledge

More Hoover Pledges Here In Pro
portion to Population.
,. jV, F. Saunders, who is In Im
" mediate charge of the family enroll
ment campaign under Food Adminis
trator, t ti Mumford. reported
yesterday that Missouri had 700.000
signers to the pledge instead oi o&u.
000, as was given out Friday night.
These figures put Missouri ahead of
all other states in the proportion of
signers to the number of citizens.
The increase in the official returns
over the estimates of Friday is due
to the unexpected heavy enrollment
in the country districts and In St.
Louis. The Council of Defense in St.
Louist aided the campaign by dis
tributing blank pledge cards to the
policemen, who handed them out to
the persons who otherwise would not
have had the opportunity to sign.
Thus 138,000 additional pledges were
obtained, bringing the total enroll
ment for the city up to 268,000.
Approximately 4,200 persons in Co
lumbia pledged. -Not all the returns
from over the state- are in.

ZOELLNERS IN CONCERT HERE
Playing Pleased n Good-Sized Audi
ence Last Night.
The Zoellner String Quartet pre
sented the second 1917-18 Phi Mu Al
pha program last night to an audience
thai practically filled the University
Vuditorium. The quartet is composed
of Joseph Zoellner, Sr., his daughter,
Antoinette, and two sons, Amandus
and Joseph, Jr.
Comments from musical critics re
garding the ensemble of the Zoellner
players were borne out. Numbers
written by composers of the twelfth
century were interwoven with classics
produced by modern writers.
"Bringing the best music of the
ages to the popular American au
dience in a way in which the pieces
are appreciated," was the way one
of those who attended characterized
the concert.
"Though we are of German de
scent," said Mr. Zoellner after the
program, "we are heart and soul for
our native country America. We
have lived in Germany at various
times and have fond recollections of
many things German, but their inter
est and affection to us have been al
most wholly lost because of the ap
parent disregard for the works of art
as manifested in the cathedrals they
have destroyed."
Contrary to the experiences which
Mr. Kreisler, the noted Austrian vio
linist, is having In the obtaining of
permission to appear in several east
ern cities, the Zoellner Quartet is
welcomed both here and in Canada,
according to Mr. Zcellner.
The third program of the series will
be given by Theodore Spiering, a
noted violinist, December 3.

from all over my body. I started to
crawl and it seemed ages before my
face hit the mud in the bottom of the
trench. The same thing happened
again a minute later.
"Then I picked myself up and start
ed in another direction. A corporal
and two men Joined me. . A shell
burst, a few feet from us on the para
pet and I lost consciousness. When
I came to all was black, and grenades
were flying In all directions. I had
lost my helmet, but. feeling around
with my hands, 1 found one by the
head of a man who was lying near
tne. I put it on and started away,
staggering from the exhaustion that
had overcome me.
"I went on and soon found a cor
poral and other men. As a matter of
fact. I found out later that the raid
was over and that the grenades we
saw were being thrown by the re
treating Germans."

Hovtard Halley Writes of Experience
on West Front.
Howard W. Halley of the American
Field Service in France, formerly in
structor in advertising in, the School
of Journalism, tells in a letter of be
ing under shell fire "Somewhere In
France," and of losing two of his
friends in the attack.
.Fifteen cars were sent to a point
very near the front the night of the
attack. Mr. Halley was in the staff
car in front of which a shell exploded,
wounding two men. The cars were
under fire for two hours, but the work
of unloading materials for trench con
struction went on just the same. The
flare of star shells was the only light.
When the shells began to come
rapidly the men hid in a dugout. After
the cars were unloaded, they were
turned around in a very narrow road,
and sent back with the two wounded
men.
Mr. Hailey says that the wounded
men probably will receive medals and
the rest of the group a military
citation for bravery under fire.

WAR OFFICE WANTS RIFLES
Captain Cralgie Says Springfield
Jlodels 3iay Be Used for Army.
The military department of the Uni
versity received an order yesterday
from the War Department calling for
the rifles which the Cadet Corps is
now using. These rifles are the
Springfield 1903 model which were
awarded to the Cadet Corps last year
as one of the ten ranking Cadet Corps
located at state universities.
The corps will be equipped with the
old Krag-Jorgensen 1896 model
rifles which were used here last year.
"The Krag-Jorgensen rifle is an up
to date rifle, though not quite so
modern as the Springfield," said
Captain Wallace Cralgie, the com
mandant. "It is of the same caliber as the
Springfield and of course the same
ammunition will be used. The change
will not affect our work and we shall
go on with target practice in the
spring. No doubt all universities have
been called on for rifles, and this will
mean several thousand of them. The
W"ar Department Is in great need of
rifles, and it is my opinion that they
will be used for the United States
army that will go to France."

son of the original owner of that
hotel, who was a guest at the tavern
yesterday, expressed himself as high
ly pleased with Boone Tavern. Mr.

H. Harkless, came to Columbia to at
tend the wedding of Miss Cyrene
Shepard and James Harkless. Jr.
Mr. Dean congratulated Columbia
on having F. W. Leonard as the man
ager of the new hotel. "I have known
Mr. Leonard in business in Kansas
City for a number of years," Mr.
Dean said. ''And I'm sure he will have
the success here that he so thoroughly
deserves."
Mr. Dean said that It was unusual to
see such a hotel as the tavern In a
town the size of Columbia.
