Atkinson pitched a. fair game, con-

woe earned, although they gained
seven hits. All these hits were singles
with on ' exception, a double by Falk.
Atkinson was the man who touched his
opponent fol- the only hit gathered off
Ciiiett's delivery. Atkinson was relieved
;n ihe eighth by Duffy, who pitched the
remaining two frames in good style,
getting a pair of strike-outs and allow-
ing no hits and no runs.
In addition to holding the Owls to a
single hit, Ciiiett made eleven batsmen

Front the Daily Texan.
A special contributor, who is a mem-
ber of the University facuity, sent a
contribution some time in December di-
rectty to the American Red Cross in
France. In February he received an
answer from Homer Folks, director of
Civii Affairs Department, Red Cross, in-
forming him that his money had been
received, and relating to him the story
of the two boys it had gone to iteip.
These boys were taken in t harge by the
department in care of French children
when they were sent to the Red Cross
by General Lambert in November, 1914,
after the Germans had taken Ostend,
where the Mulier boys iived with their
father, a hostelier. The children, one
15 and one 12, were piled into a Ger-
man prison train and taken to a prison
camp at Darmstat, up the Rhine, just
across from Schaffhouse, Switzerland.
Here they were at hard labor for three
years. Their daily fare consisted of dog
meat and potatoes. They had no bread.
They could hear nothing from their pa-
rents, not from the French. In Octo-
ber, If) 17, the younger brother, Georges,
because he was under weight and un-
der age, was*^ent back by the Germans.
Then in January Maurice, with a frtend,
escaped from the prison camp and made
his way at midnigfht to the banks of the
Rhine. He floated for an hour in the
swift curreni before he could reach the
Swiss shore at Schaffhouse. There he
was fdund by the Swiss officers who
sent him on the French border at Evian.
Upon his return he was taken in charge
by the American Red Ctoas. He was
quite sick after his long swim and is
stili weak. He was in a hospital for a
month before he came to Paris. There
his brother joined hint and they spent
their ilrst night in comfort found for
them by the Red Cross; they had a
first-class meal for the first time in
months, and they smoked American
cigarettes from American Red Cross
stores. A Red Cross representative is
helping find work and permanent quar-
ters.
The money sent by the special con-
tributor front the University of Texas
went to aid these two victims of the
war.
Two weeks after the letter thanking
this contributor and enclosing the story
of how the money was spent reached
Austin the same information was print-
ed in the newspapers as dispatches
from special war correspondents in
France. There is no doubt that the
money given to the Red Cross is used
directly to aid in this war. It fills a
definite need and the contributor tnay
rest, assured that his money is perform-
ing the acts that he would perform wers
he on the scene.
