Assumed Names in the Armv.

The House OF Representatives has
passed a bin which. on first impression.
seems TO be q peculiar form of legisla-
tive relief" 1t being that which author
ICES the Secretary Of War and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to issue certificates
of discharge in the true names of persons
who enlisted or served under assumed
names during the civil war and the war
with Spain. 1t Is disclosed that there are
many people who served in these two
wars In the military and naval forces
with entire credit to themselves. and
who rendered such service under names
which they adopted. On the face Of IT.
this situation seems to be explained only
or the ground that a man who adopts
an assumed name must do so for rea-
sons which are not entirely to his credit
It appears, however, that a considerable
number Of those IN this class were OF
foreign birth and had names difficult Of
pronunciation, and they feared their
birth or descent was likely to cause
feelings of prejudice or resentment
among their comrades. It has been
stated to the House that the number Of
people who served under these circum-
stances reaches into thousands''-aIto-
gether a surprising state OF affairs. By
the enactment Of this legislation it viii
become unnecessary to Introduce special
bills in Individual cases.
1t would seem that If there is any
necessity for this form Of relief there
could very well be legislation which con-
fers the authority upon the Secretary Of
War and the Secretary Of the Navy. with
the provision, Of course that these on
Gals may issue the discharges upon proof
Of identity and after knowledge OF the
innocence in the assumption OF fictitious
names. The legislation places the re-
sponsibility where It may very well be
intrusted. and the more SO IL these men

States have invested some $500. 900 in

auto as a luxury and thinks that such
rampant and vulgar prodigality cannot
fail to have serious consequences upon
our national character.
Surely this IS short-sighted view for
the head Of a great university. One
might as we'll argue that the luxury OF
travel made possible by invention would
render the nation effete; or that because
we use the telephone to expedite busI-

Surely Chancellor Day must recognize
that the automobile Is something more

As a matter Of fact, this adage has been
handed down 20 US from the seven

eccentricities Of one Tobias Hobson.
This worthy was a carrier OF Cambridge

From the New York Tribune.
Styles IN soda fountain drinks change
as do those in clothes and etiquette.
There was a time when one asked either
for a soda or a phosphate. but now these
things have been relegated TO the back
ground and have been replaced by the
''sundae,' the 'frappe," the 'pouffe, -
the coupe" or the "parfait."
II one doesn't know the one from the
other. or imagines for an instant that
the last may be had for the price OF
the first, one is far behind the times.
The differences may seem slight, but
they must be mastered lest one incur
the scorn Of the soda clerk.

Howe determined TO charge with the

was now an unequal one. but with

The victory won at Bunker Hill was a

them by the hundred. Instead. to his
