CHEATING IN COLLEGE

A sophomore and freshman have been sus-
pended from Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, ac-
cused of practicing dishonesty in class work The
one was dropped from the institution for period
of three weeks for horsing'' at an examination:
that is for sneaking text books or perhaps some
helpful notes into the examination hall and using
the same in answering the test questions The other
was suspended for the rest of the school year be-
cause he submitted English themes not of his own
composition and repeatedly denied that he was
practicing the deception
1t appears that the English professor who brought
about the suspensions,-a new man on the faculty
of the coege,-haS his own ideas about dishonesty
in class work and has had the backbone TO take nee
essary action in this matter even at the risk of
becoming unpopular with the student body. The
other members of the faculty have thus far stood
by him, according to accounts
The students to have been greatly agtaed
by the suspensions. Do they not have student gov
ernment, and do they not have the honor system?
Why should the faculty presume far as to take
into its own hands the Furnishing of the offending
young men? The student body granted that the
two men were guilty, but that they were the only
ones punished among many who have been guilty
of similar offenses.''
Ihat was an unfortunate admission to make. If
dishonesty is prevalent at the college, it is about
time that some of the guilty ones be punished, as
examples. The law never reaches all violators but
those whom it does catch it Furnishes for the effect
it will have on uncaught offenders.
The interesting thing about the entire affair is
that the students in their indignation meeting pro-
tested loudly against alleged injustice to two of their
fellows, but said nothing. apparently, against the
practice of cheating which started the trouble If
the students wanted to take any action following
the suspensions, they should have got together and
declared in one voice against the practice of 'hors
ing, thus uphodng the faculty in its just action
That would have been the manly thing to do.

from the Executive Mansion to the

The censorship curtain was closely
drawn today over the great battle raging
along the Vistula River, where more than
100000 Austro-German and Russian
troops were believed to be engaged in
one Of the most bloody conflicts of the
worlds history. The war office merely
stated that fighting had developed along
the entire front, which 10 understood to

200 miles from the vicinity Of Warsaw
to Dneister River. in Galicia.
The rapid approach OF winter has added
a new horror to the fighting in Russian
Poland.
At one point the searchers in the for
est around Sulwah found a Uhlan who
had been treed by a pack of wolves.
He had stood them of until his ammuni-
tion was exhausted and then had man.
He said that helpless comrade had been
devoured by the ravenous beasts.

This brought a reply from Gov. Hunt

Capetown, South Africa, Oct. 1.-THE
government Is receiving numerous pledges
Of support from Boer leaders In the
crisis caused by the rebellion of the

II Is learned that many Beers whose
loyalty to England has been suspected
in the past have disappeared from their

towns Of the Union.
It 10 believed these men have gone to
Join the forces of Col. MaritE. While the
number OF troops led by him are not
definitely known. It is understood he has
at least 1900 men fully equipped. He has
thrown into prison all the officers who
refused to join in the revolt and these
are said TO have been replaced by Ger
man officers from German Southwest
Africa.
Despite this attitude OF many Boer
leaders. who declare that Maritz is a
traitor not only to England but also to
the Beers. the government fears the
rebel officer will gain many recruits out
