The War of the Languages.

.ot1 e1e SP1HSne1u HePuDlIcan.
Perfect neutrality can hardly be ex-
pected in the school and college de-
partments of mouern languages, and
that they should get on with SO little
friction as has been reported is highly
creditable-the storm center seems
rather to lie in the field of philosophy.
Yet the teacher of languages must find
it a little hard to avoid taking sides.
unless, indeed, his linguistic interests
happen to be evenly divided between
the contending alliances; neutrality
may be more easily conserved in the
small faculties where teacher has
more than one string to his bow. 1t Is
not to be expected from representatives
of the warning nations, who do their
full duty wnen they avoid being pro-
vocatlve, and are we'll within their
rights in defending their own nation
if lney do not strive to create i'll feel
ing toward others.

our being directly dependent on the
sun. The last great maximum was to
occur, according to my calculations,

which enabled me, in 1902, TO predict
the rainy period which has persisted
over almost the whole surface Of the
globe and which brought US the great
foods Of 1910.
THE rainy maximum which I had
announced for 1913 has just ceased

he said he purchased downstairs in

him what Greek grocery. and he said
the one right under US, in Holpos

and knew nobody of that name. and
to satisfy our curiosity we went down
stairs TO have a look.
Sure enough, there was what did
look like "Holpos" on the end of the
awning, at least there were the let

that it is an abbreviation used by
