The gorgeous, exquisitely tinted, au- tumn leaves were falling down from the noble oaks what stood guarding the grand old college at Lake Forest. Down a winding path came our heroine. She seemed to be riding the gentle zephyrs so lightly did she bound o'er the earth. Suddenly she she stopped and peered ahead. Then danced onward-more gayly than be- fore. Coming down the walk toward her was a man-a tall dark handsome man with a Charlie Chaplin mustache and a brilliant green sweater. Grace- fully he swaggered onward never no- ticing our dainty heroine. He sees me not, quoth our hero- in, but never mind-yet a few min- utes.and he shall know me well. Then softly she sighed a dainty sigh and stepped up beside him. She touched his hand--she snuggled against his shoulder. Very, very, gently, then she touched his cheek. He stopped and looked about him. Abashed he bowed his curly head. Then he yielded to her gentle plead- ings and tenderly leaned toward her. Cach-0-o-o-ol he quoth Ca-cho-o- o! It's the vampire Flu-I knew she'd get me.

Hope you haven't been worrying about my disappearance. This is the first chance I've had of writing you. Am quite all right and enjoying life as well as a prisoner could, though its very hard to resign oneself to idleness after having such a splen- did time in the air. It was a real exciting time, but I guess there were too many German airmen for my short experience. There were holes in almost everything but myselff I landed 'qugite a few miles on the wrong side of the linesl I was taken immediately by the infantry and then by some airmen who made me spend the night at their aerodrome and were real good sports and quite con- cealed their satisfaction over having shot me down. Several of our aviators have had their machines shot down without being killed so I have all kinds of company and we're living under quite pleasant conditions. Don't worry about me, for I'm very Well and will see you all after the war. A letter from Major V. A. H. Rob- ison, received at the same time as the above, states that Lieutenant Beauchamp's machine had been found, indicating that since his fall the Germans had been driven back beyond the point where he was cap- tured.

THE STENTOR 5 Faculty News Many of the alumni already know that Professor Halsey had a partial stroke of paralysis early in August and is at present out of commis- sion . No doubt his illness was brought on by his unremitting effort in the last year or two in imparting through public addresses his own wide and accurate knowledge and something of his enthusiasm to many and widely scattered audiences. His services, freely given, were in great demand, at the Great Lakes Station, for example, he had spoken weekly to large audiences for a long time. It is a matter of great regret that he could not have gone on in the same fashion, with the inspiration of the hopeful events of recent months. One can readily imagine how greatly he would have been in his element in giving' a course like that on War Issues and Aims in the S.A.T.C. For the last month or more, Dr. Hal- sey has been at the North Shore Sani- tarium at Winnetka, removing there from Alice Home when the influenza was at its height here. For a long time his improvement was hardly ap- preciable, but we are glad to say that there has been a marked turn for the better in the last fortnightg his phy- sician expresses himself as quite hopeful about him. He expresses, in this indirect way, his appreciation of a number of letters received from alumni, and we need hardly suggest that he should hear from others also. Professor and Mrs. Burnap are still at their summer camp near Sutton's Bay, Mich., where they have found October delightful with its Autumn hues and abundance, though the ther- mometer often gets down to a crisp 30 degrees in the morning. Their present plan is to spend a short time here in November and to winter in California. Professor St. John, professor of Physics for 1917-18, resigned in Aug- ust to accept a position in the experi- mental department of a carbon com- pany in Cleveland. Charles C. Mather, late instructor in English and able exponent and pro- moter of the histrionic art, is waiting his turn at the camp aeroplane at Camp Dick, Dallas, Texas, and in his somewhat enforced leisure, project- ing a. new dramatic thriller , 1...- . Margarite Martin visited her sister Josephine. Margaret Horton entertained her mother at Lois Durand Hall on Tuesday. Beth Thayer spent the week-end at her home in Chicago. National Service Following are some items which have come in during the summer from those in some form of National Service. The Commencement Sten- tor of last June contained a list of those engaged so far as we could gather it up to that time. Word has some from a good many, both in the United States and abroad, of the in- terest they had in that list. We wish it might be expanded and corrected, but this'is only possible through the cooperation of all concerned. No doubt there are constantly many changes both in ranking and in lo- cation and other names should have been added to the list if we had had the information about them. We have still a number of copies of that issue of the Stentor and they will be sent on request to any who ask for them. --Q-Q With the installation here of the S. A. T. C., there is new reason for building up and verifying that list and in a few months it may be much augmented through the names of graduates from the S. A. T. C. Any information from any reader con- cerning those who are in service in any capacity will be gratefully re- ceived. Roll of Honor Previously reported: 1917. Corp. Earl C. Adams, 138th Infantry. Died at Fort Sill, Dec. 30, 1917. 1914. Earl D. Milroy, B. A. Marine. Died 1918. 1918. Sergt. Walter Willert. Died about Aug. 1 of wounds received in the second Marne battle. 1893. Rev. John A. Linn, reported killed by shell fire Oct. 8, has been in Y. M. C. A. service in France for six months or more, and evidently did not shrink from duty which took him near the front. After graduation here, Mr. Linn studied for the Epis- copal ministry, and later was an ac- tive clergyman of that church until about 1912. Subsequently, he taught in the Howe School, Indiana, and at the time he entered national service was a master in the Trinity School, New York City. He was one of the ablest men in- tellectually in a class whose average was high, and active in all college enterprises, one of the outstanding at Camp Quantico, February, men of his time here. His father, Rev. John M. Linn, lives in Chicago 'tt 7731 N. Marshfield Ave. Profes- sor J. W. Linn of Chicago University is a brother and Miss Jane Addams of Hull House is his aunt. 1917. First Lieutenant Edward Orr, accidentally killed in France on Sept. 14, was a student here in 1913-14, well liked among the men and a mem- ber of the basket-ball team. He transferred to Chicago U., where he was graduated in 1917. As to his service, the best comment is the ci- tation which follows in connection with the award to him of the Distin- guished Service Cross by the Presi- dent on recommendation of General Pershing. First Lieut. Edward Orr, Deceas- ed, pilot, U. S. A. S., Twelfth aero squadron, for extraordinary heroism in the Toul sector, France, Aug. 28, 1918. Lieut. Orr, flying with Lieut. Phil A. Henderson, infantry observer, on an unprotected reconnaissance mission, encountered a patrol of eight enemy pursuit planes near the Amer- ican balloon line. The patrol was sighted just as one of them dived on the b all o o n with the intention of destroying it. Without hesitat- ing, Lieut. Orr attacked this plane and followed it to within fifty meters, firing his single front gun against the double guns with which the German plane was equipped. In the mean- time, Lieut. Henderson engaged the other eight planes, which attacked from the rear. After a violent com- bat all of the enemy planes were driven off. An Sept. 14, Lieut. Orr was accidentally killed. Next of kin, E. K. Orr, father, 5331 Woodlawn Avenue, Chicago, Ill. 1392. REG. Murdoch McLeod has just closed a four-months service as pastor at Camp Lewis, Washington. 1905. W. H, Ferguson has been commissioned as first Lieutenant of the Chemical Warfare Service, Sta- tioned at Edgewood Arsenal, Balti- more, Md. His address is 311 West Monument St., Baltimore. 1906. Reverend Carroll D. Erskine who joined the Y. M. C. A. forces last spring has received an appointment as chaplain and assigned to Group 1, comprising the 1st and 2nd Battalion, 175th Depot Brigade, Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. 1909. William B. Marquis who was in Lake Forest for a short time on September 25th, has had work in connection with the cantonments all over the country since he took up that service at Washington last Feb- ruary.
