WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16,—
Admiral William V. Pratt, chief of

fleet to be placed in reserve com

ed to 77,000 men. Ships will be
placed in reserve commission for
a period of six months.

than $5,000,000. It takes 18 months

and concentrations.

FRINGIS LESLIE IN
HOLE OF “MIT
COLLEGE THEOTRICKL
Here is what the University of
Washington college paper had to
say about a young Seward student
who recently took a leading part
[ in a theatrical:
“First honors must go to the
boys of Sigma Chi. . . We hope Mr.
Les Leslie (son of Mr. and Mrs. F.
E. Leslie of Seward, Alaska) ....
who, attired in a leopard skin, will
give a Tarzan yell expected to lift
the audience right out of their
seats during the third act. ....
won’t become confused when he
sees the grinning faces of the bro
thers.
“Les Leslie, the fun-loving Rol
lo, has a bit where he lifts Vic
Dobrin, the smallest of the Rollos,
out of the way just as he is about
to kiss Doris (Pesty) Manington.
Herbert will make the trio do the
bit over and over again until he’s
sure it will bring the laughs. The
practice isn’t hard on husky Les
lie, who gets to kiss the lass, but
it’s tough on Half-Pint Manington
who has to hold that pose so long
while the two Rollos battle it out.”
