SPIRIT
of Democracy Not Strong with
Colleges as Long as ACad-
enlies Are .AutoGratiC.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Mar. o.
American colleges are not as demo-
cratic as is the won't of coIlegians 10
boast, according to DR. Edwin p.
Slosson, OF the Columbia School OF
Journalism, a speaker at the meeting
of the convention OF the Religions
Education Association here today.
Almost very colleg:an, he said,
boasts of the unique democratic
spirit" OF his alma mater But ne
is only comparing conditions with
these Of aristccracy in the outside
world. based on money and family
entirely forgetfuI of the collegiate
aristocracy that has besn substituted
by drawing the line between sopho-
rrores and freshmen, Greeks and
Barbarians, classical and SCIENTIFIC
Students"
Who indeed, the speaker asked,
'twouId suspect that the universtt ~
had any intention to incnacate spir-
it OF democracy when he sees the
academic procession file through the
Gothic hall ro;5sd in the costume OF
the medieval student guild and ar
ranged in hierarchical order in strict
accordance with system of tradl-
tIonal, art lacial and. in large part,
fictitious honorific distinctions.

Moore prepared to take up his work
for the Carnegie endowment for IN
ternatfonaI peace and later to re-
sumo his place as head of the depart
ment of international law at Column
lbia University.
While 1t was admitted that Mr..
AIoore's views on the recognition OF
the Huerta government and the adj
1ns n Istration's course in other foreign
sffafrs differed from those of his
chiefs, all ofHc ais took pains to sag
FIAT the ~counselIor had carried out
administration policies when once
aefeed upon. One phase of the res
jenatfeh being widely. discussed was
that Moore, at the end of his admin
ftiErztsfon, found ht-rsah performfne
duties usually assigned to offictals
FAR Below the rank of counsellor
and at times learned much OF the
administration policies from news
despatches. One of such instances
being referred to- today was when
Mr. Moore first heard OF the sending
Of John Lind to Mexico through
newspapers.
The office of solicitor of the de
partment also IS vacant, no successor
having been chosen to succeed Jos

INVASION
OF Mexico by the United States
is Thought Inevitable by
General Elliott.

Adjutant General c. D. Elliott ar
rived here this morning on his way to
Buckhannon for the purpose of being
present at the organization of q new
company of national guard to be
known as Company G.. of the First In
fantry. While in the city General FL
liott discussed matters concerning the
guard during which he stated that the
organization was being recruited up
TO It's full limit in. view of the proba-
Bile invasion of Mexico by the United
States.
He stated that in his opinion there
was little or no question but that the
United States will sooner or later be
compelled TO send an armed force in
to the southern republic. Although
ii would be very bad to have to sac
rifce any lives of American soldiers
in Quelling the situation that exists
in Mexico, and the administration at
Washington is doing everything 1t
can TO avoid forced intervention, Cen
eraI Elliott gave it as his opinion that
the Monroe doctrine has this country
in such a grip that it will hardly be
able to avoid invading that country.

safety MATCH
Use is Urged by the State Fire
Marshal in a Late Off
ciaI Bulletin.

state Fire Marshal Chas. A. Eli
son. in the monthly bulletin issued By
the Office of the auditor of the state,
strongly advises the use of safety
matches as a means of lessening the
fire hazard which.is expressed as fol-
lows:
sover 90 per cent of the matches
used IN the United States and Canada
are of domestic make. These match
es. each and every one, constitute a
fire hazard from the moment il is
m manufactured until 1t has been ulti-
IN ateIy disposed of. A match in itself
is apparently insignificant. and IS
usually so regarded: but t!7e poten-
| tfaI danger as 4 fire hazard should be
obvious to any thoughtful person;
/ and having regard to the enormous
daily consumption of matches, the
actual record of fire losses directly at
| tr.ibuted to matches aggregates to-
tai not only startling, but appalling
The average number of matches used
per capita in this country is about a
dozen daily, or the enormous total of
over one thousand million matches 4
lday, or three hundred and sixty-five
Thousand million matches year.
This requires the use of about 500,-
loco feet OF clear lumber daily.
THE use OF the safety match is the
best policy. While It, may not be
quite so convenient, your old cast
away clothes with a match OF this
| kind in the pocket is not half so dan
gerous as where the slightest friction
or excessive summer heat in the attic
or closet will menace your home.
Get in the habit OF using the safe
/ ty match"
