new W.S.C.MAN

SEATTLE, Oct. 22-Dr. Ernest
o. Holland, who has been chosen
president of Washington State
college at Pullman, as an execu-
tive is one of the ablest young
men in the United States, In the
opinion of President Suzzallo, of
the University of Washington,
who has known him personally
for many years.
"He is man who will go
through a fight without losing a
friend and without making a new
enemy" said President Suzzallo
yesterday. He does his own
thinking; he is polite, but never
political. Dr. Holland is pos
sessed of the greatest firmness
when principle is involved, and
always knows how to present his
case so that opposition is reduced
to a minimum. He has cul-
tured outlook on life. To me he
Is practical idealist."

the saving over what the county
expected to concede, amounting to
$4,000, will more than pay the
expenses of the trial.

Fall, Silent Snow!

Fall, silent snow, from out the plying sky,
And hide our guilty world! Cover them all
The corpses that in reeking trenches lie
The Belgian, the Briton and the Gaul,
Teuton and Slav. Fall softly, then, and deep
On ruined home and blasted field and wood;
To thy cold pillow let the wounded creep,
TILL death at last brings peace-and brotherhood!
o couldst thou hide despair. Couldst thou but stay
The pangs Of famine! Couldst thou still the cry
OF desolate mothers, coufdst thou but allay
The widows grief and hush the maidens sigh
Ger broken hopes! How many a winters snow
Must fall ere time shall heal this universal woe?
