colleges and universities should be
nurseries of patriotism" said Mr.. FOs-
ter. In Germany college students arc
forced to serve a term in the army
after their graduation. We do not
want this done here. but we do expect
the colleges and the universities of
America to send forth men and women
who will do everything in their power
for the betterment of their fellows.

Senate to see the schools in the District

.CUMMINS TO AMEND
RECIPROCITY BILL
Free Trade for Taxed Prod
ucts Planned.

Senator A B. Cummins, of Iowa, who
had a long conference with the Presi-
dent yesterday, will offer amendments
to the Canadian reciprocity. bill when it
appears in the Senate, giving nonrecip-
rocal free trade in lumber. coal, iron,
ore. manufactures of iron and steel, ag-
ricultural implements, flour, meat. cot
ton and woolen cloths, and cotton and
woolen clothing. cereal foods, and prob
ably few other articles that are sup
posed to figure as necessaries in the
daily life of the farmer.
In proposing these amendments. Senator
Cummins does not want to be understood
as offering them to obstruct or defeat
reciprocity with Canada. His friends ex-
plain that the Senator believes in reci-
procity, but that he insists that if the
American farmer is to be rcqMred to
compete with the Canadian farmer in
what each produces then the American
farmer should be placed as nearly as DOS
sible on an equal footing with his Ca
madam competitor as to the things neces-
sary to his existence and SUCCESS in the
industry.
The Iowa Senator would enlarge the
free list proposed for Canadian imports
list covered by the amendments he will
propose. While actually conceding to
Canada more than Canada has asked in
the reciprocal trade agreement, the Sena-
tor explains that he does so to protect the
American farmer from an unequal COM
petition
1t is understood that Senator Cummins
does not agree with the objection urged
by some Of the advoca ties of the Canad dian
trade agreement IN its present form. that
it would violate the spirit of existing
treaties with other nations as to the ia
vored nation clause. But II necessary t6
meet such an objection the Senator from
Iowa says he is willing to open the ports
fo- the free entry into the United States
of the articles included in his amend
mentS, no matter from what country
they may come But Senator Cummins is
unwilling TO concede that the addition
to the free list of the articles he pro-
posed would be violative of either the let
ter or spirit of treaty relations with
countries other than Canada.

She will wait month, by advice of her
doctor. before singing in Paris. She de-
nies she has taken divorce proceedings

Chanter. She said in regard to her do
meStic affairs:
Everything is in the same situation
as existed six months ago. 1t is true that
on the other side they are doing their
utmost to reach an agreement, and l
hope they will succeed, as 1 do not want
to undertake a lawsuit. I am leaving
everything to my alwyers, But / know
there is difficulty on some important
points on which neither side is willing
TO yield.
Your correspondent asked Mile. Cava-
ieierie what she intended to do If an
agreement was reached. Her reply was:
Why certainly a divorce. cannot re-
main married to a man who is no longer
my husband"

On April l. many years ago,

an uncle, who always liked to
tease me because | had a hot

pile of lumber to hunt for
hens nests.
The lumber pile was near the
barn. 1t seemed a likely place
for hens nests. There were
hundreds OF hens on the farm
and they had a habit of laying
eggs wherever they pleased.

nests, SO | crawled under the
lumber pile: l did not find anv.
When | came out, my uncle
laughed and said: APRIL

COST OF PEACE

A French statistician has
prepared figures showing that tn G
maintenance of Europe on n peace
footing for the past 25 years has
cost approximately 500, OOO. 600 and
has constantly excluded from
productive insdustry195, 900 officers
and $500, 900 men. With all
Europe groaning under a peace
debt" there is no apparent reason
for questioning the accuracy of
these enormous figures. There is
another side to the picture, how
ever and we may expect some war
like friend of the system, to come
back with another set of figures.
These will probably show that had
the expenditure of this vast sum of
money and the maintenance of the
millions of armed men there would
have been enough wars to have
