BeIsium, Germany and the U. $.

Belgium, Germany and the U. q.
LITCHFIELD, Neb., Dec A-To the
Editor OF The Bee; Will you kindly let
me answer Mr.. weybrights question,
that instead OF the Belgium relief fund
why not ask Germany to feed the people
that they have robbed? The sympathies
OF the American people are gradually
turning TO the German cause.
Why Americans should feel friendly
toward England is beyond my compre-
hension, The menace to American in
terests lies In England's alliance with
Japan and now that japan demands to
be taken into the triple entente" the
menace assumes gigantic proportions
Would England hesitate to join with
Japan to crush us should We build up a
competitive merchant marine? Does Eng
land stop at anything to gain its greed
desires? Has England not allied itself
with Japs. Hindus, Indians and the scum
OF the earth IN order to destroy one OF
the most wonderful nations In the world.
Germany? Engiand's policy Is one Of
oppression. Remember the winter OF
Valley Forge IL you will Recall the
Boer struggle for freedom. Recall Ene-
lands atrocities in Peru, Recall its his
tory in Ondia. England's cry to beware
Of German 'militRrism" is like the purse
snateher's cry OF stop thief IN order
to detract attention from himself. Eng
lands navyism Is the real menace TO
liberty and must be destroyed before we
can have universal peace. What has
America to fear from German militarism.
II there be such a thing. The few Eng
lish sympathizers In America are mostly
British subjects. They tire you out talk
ing about Hold Hinsland" and apeiuE
the mOnOcled lords. They would rather
be a British subject than a citizen OF
America. where every man IL a SOW
ereign. but where no one dares 10 wear a
crown" Once an Bngllshman. always
an Engiishman. The German. Russian.
Swede, Austrian and Dane become good
American citizens. The Stars and Stripes
are good enough for them 20 fight for and
they are ready TO die for the country OF
their adoption as proved at Vera Cruz.

SENIOR CLASS GIFT

The last united chapel of the year
was marked by the presentation OF
a memorial to the College, by the
class of 1914. A new precedent was
set by making the gift not only
beautiful and enduring but also dis
tinctively useful. The College Hos
pital has long been in need OF a
wheel stretcher, to be used in the
rooms and halls of the hospital, par
ticularly after operations. The class
has as its motto, II will be of SER
vice" and its members considered
that they could in no way carry out
this idea of service, in their class
memorial than to present the Col
lege, with the needed carriage.
During the chapel service the en-
tire senior class sat in the front
seats of the citizens section, ar
rayed in caps and gowns. Waldo
b. Dawson made the presentation in
behalf o. me class in short but
appropriate speech.
DR.. Mossman in receiving the gift
for the College, commended the "un-
obtrusive generosity" of the class

COMMEN CEMENT DAY

This years Commencement was
marked by the most ideal condi-
tions. The heavy rains Monday had
settled the dust and Wednesday
morning dawned clear and cool The
Academic procession was a great
success and the new department
banners made it much more dis
tinctive than ever before.
The order among the large crowds
on the campus was splendid and
only three arrests were made, one
for gun carrying and two for drunk
enness.
The exercises in the Tabernacle
were of exceptionally high order
and the various exhibits aroused in
terest.
The farewell social at night was
very we'll attended and the last ex-
ercise of the year will be long re-
membered by the students as one OF
the most precious events Of their
lives.

VISIT TO ISAAC HACKERS

BY faculty appointment IL fell TO
my lot TO make the Commencement
address at the Buena Vista High
School in Garrard County. The
drive through Paint Lick, Lancaster,
and from thence by motor TO Buena
Vista was through kentucky's rich
est blue grass section, land produc-
ing thirty TO thirty-flve bushels OF
wheat to the acre without fertilizer.
The new Consolidated High School
Of which Mr.. Hacker is principal, is
built on high bluff at the intersec-
ton Of three school districts. Mrs.
Hacker and four others assist in the
teaching force. Six buses gather
up the children for distance Of five
miles. The busses cost one hundred
and seventy dollars each, are owned
by the School and driven by neigh
boring men for SIZE a day, who fur
nish horses and harness.
Each bus holds about thirty chill
dren and the two trips a day con-
sumo only about four hours. This
insures a much higher average at
tendance and is proving a great sue
cess.
The school building is a fine large
brick structure, steam heated, gas
oline gas lighted, has instrumental
music studio, fine basement which
will house manual training next
year. is equipped with green boards
instead Of black, draper window
shades, etc. The two largest class
rooms thrown together make a fine
auditorium.
Miss Bowersox and Mrs. Taylor
accompanied me, Miss Bowersox
making a fine address in the morn
ing. The closing examinations
proved most interesting and showed
very thorough work on the part OF
teachers.
Just beyond the school is the deep
gorge Of the Dix River and the
white limestone cliffs rising almost
perpendicular at height Of 378 feet
are beautiful beyond description.
We were most cordially entertain
cd at the home of Mrs. Ralph Scott
and altogether, the day was delight
full.
Berea may well be proud OF Mr..
and Mrs. Hacker who are thus iden-
titled with one Of the most repre-
sentative Kentucky schools and who
attribute their success TO Berea
training. The school has about four
acres Of grounds where experiment
al gardening will be vigorously
pushed next year.
Surely the Consolidated Central
High School for Rural districts is
the solution OF the states hereto
fore difficult problem.

But that night she and Professor
John N. Peck, also a teacher in the
Academy, we're united in marriage
Mt the home Of the brides mother,
Mrs. Sinclair. The wedding was
very quiet and informal. President
Frost officiating. No one outside
Of the small wedding circle knew OF
the event until Professor Matheny
announced IL in the Academy dining
room Commencement morning, and
by that time they we're far away,
as they had taken the midnight
train TO the South. They returned
Saturday morning. They will be
here this summer in charge Of the
summer school.
II would be hard to say which
of the two is more beloved by
their pupils, as the whole Academy
"Swore' by Mrs. Holderman and
Professor Peck. Mr.. Peck has been
a teacher Of mathematics and
sciences in the Academy since 1910
and has been one Of the most pop
ular professors in the whole school.
Mrs. Holderman has been Academy
professor Of History since 1912 and
has done much 10 mother the girls
and boys Of her department.
But il is certain that the love and
best wishes Of all Berea and Of
the host Of their pupils from away
are extended to Professor and Mrs.
