the latest outburst of the German press

onicials here consider that this latest
German contention brings 10 the surface
the real fault in the German reasoning
in regard TO submarine attacks, namely,
that the Germans hold that because one
British ship may have rammed a Ger

neutral flag. It is proper for them 70
assume that all British ships will ram
submarines and that all vessels flying
neutral flags are British vessels.

PROFESSORS UNION

DISMISSAL rs CONDEMNED
College Officials Wait to Hear
Other Side of Case-COm-
mcnt Withheld.

The widespreading feeling among uni
versity professors and educators gen
orally over the dismissal Of DR.. Scott
Nearing by the trustees OF the Cniver-
sity OF Pennsylvania brought 10 light
yesterday the existence OF an organiza-
ton which Is. In fact and theory. a pro-
fessors' union. formed for the express
purpose OF securing 10 university and
college professors freedom OF speech
and OF protecting them against injustice
al the hands Of unsympathetic boards OF
trustees.
This association. or union. bears the
name The American Association u
University Professors" 1t was organ
lied at the beginning OF this year in
order to counteract what seemed to be
a dangerous growing tendency toward
ultra conservatism on the part OF bodies
controlling the financial dest.nies OF uni
versities and colleges and powerfully In
fiuential in directing their policies. The
Scott Nearing case in the University OF
Pennsylvania, an exact example o: what
the association is bound to fight will
give the organization an opportunity TO
display its mettle and test its influence.
1t was admitted yesterday by Column
bia University professors connected with
the association that an investigation OF
the Scott Nearing case cannot be avoided
10y the association. Its president Is
rrof. John Dewey @: Columbia. who has
under him an advisory council OF thirty
professors. Prof Dewey said yester-
day that he was not sufficiently Informed
as to the details u the differences be-
tween Dr. Nearing and the trustees OF
the University of Pennsylvania to enable
him to say whether the dismissal of DR..
Nearing from the teaching stan of the
Wharton school would positively be
taken as challenge by the American
Association OF University Professors. but
he had little doubt that such an inves-
tlsation would be called for.
