Cheyenne high school cadets were having a competition. They were, of course, all male. "Pretty Cheyenne High School Girls" had been chosen to sponsor the teams. This would probably spark some sort of protest today. Whose times are more honest?
On the same day, those cadets and their female sponsors could read that the Germans had gotten the best of fresh American infantry once again in a trench raid. The Germans were testing American troops. . .but also giving American troops who survived the test combat experience.
The sinking of the Tuscania remained in the news. Revolution in Russia continued to grab headlines. Ukraine had bowed out of the war as an independent state, freed of Moscow, and had stepped into what was to be the first of two German "protectorates" of the 20th Century for that country.
And Theodore Roosevelt was ill.
At least the weather looked good for autoing.
