prise to find a sumptuous dinner

PRESIDENT FAUNcE A BERBA VS.

President Faunce OF Brown Uni
versity, r. l., spent from Friday aft
ernoon until Sunday visiting Presi-
dent Frost and the College. Friday
night he addressed the Convocation
in the Faculty Room on Education
as a Contagion." This was thought
full and instructive address much ap-
preciated by all who heard IL. He
spoke from the experience OF wide
Unknown educator and world stud
ent. Saturday morning the regular
chapel exercises were discontinued
and President Faunce spoke TO the
entire student body in Main Chapel.
Here he delivered an address on
What Should a Student Get From
College Life" He insisted that the
three fundamental things are: (D
The power Of concentration and
analytical investigation Of hard
problems; (2) the appreciation Of
the good and beautiful in Nature, in
art, and in conduct: and (3) a keen
realization Of the honor Of honest
craftsmanship. This was a deep
analysis Of the things which a
course in Berea can give one and
was greatly appreciated by all pres
ent. President Faunce spent the re-
mainder Of his time in Berea visiting
with President Frost and seeing the
various points Of interest around the
campus.

In behalf Of the College and its
guests I wish 10 express sincere
thanks to the kind and public-spirit-

The chorus OF one hundred and

support.

A GREAT SERVICE AND A NEED
You Can Help the Woman's Indus
trial to Help Many

The Woman's Industrial renders a
social service Of high and valued
order TO the women who come in
nearly one hundred and fifty strong
each Monday afternoon from the
hills and valleys about Berea. They
sew, they visit; quilting, mending,
hat-trimming, stocking darning, all
go on at the same time in the great
room of the Parish House.
After opening devotional exercis-
cises for the remainder of three
hours the women are busy refitting,
repairing, making over clothing sent
in or they make up new garments
from new materials contributed by
individuals, societies, firms or fac
tories.
Many homes are made happy,
many children kept warm, many an
old father or mother made comforta-
BILE by these donations thus remade.
IL has grown so large that the sup
ply Of materials sent in is not suf-
flcient. The directors would gladly
send for any clothing that the read
ers OF this notice may wish to con-
tribute to the cause. Shoes and
stockings for women and children
are in special demand. Speak or
write either to Miss Burgess or Mrs.
b. II. Roberts if you have any dona-
tions for this work by either indivi-
duals, Sunday schools, clubs, or
church societies, many OF whom
East and West have aided so splend-
idly in the past.

CHOIR DINNER

Last Wednesday night the menu
bers Of the Union Church choir were
entertained at a dinner given TO
them at Boone Tavern by the Union
Church. The dining room was beau
tifully decorated and the dinner was
served in a most charming manner.
Thirty-two members Of the choir
including their leader, Professor
Rigby, were present. After the dish

their service.

THE ACADEMY DEPARTMENT AND
THE MOUNTAINS
Delivered at the Corner Stone Exer-
cises, December 8

Isolation, remoteness, poor means
of communication and travel; these
have caused the mountain people to
stand still for the last century while
the outside world has been swiftly
advancing. In the most remote dis
tricts Of the mountains can be found
the habits and customs Of pioneer
America. We know, we realize, that
we are more than one hundred
years behind the outside world;
poor roads, schools unworthy of the
name have kept us back. You,
friends who are visiting Berea today
do not really know the condition Of
my people unless you have made a
study Of them. But on the other
hand influenced as you are by the
books of the novel writer, too many
have formed the opinion that the
mountaineers do nothing but fight
and "moOnshine" whiskey. That
opinion is absolutely false, for in
the mountain people can be found
many Of the noblest characteristics
of man. They are true patriots, they
are honest, they are bold, energetic.
and courageous; and here as no.
where else in our land perhaps can
be found the highest type of relig-
ious earnestness and spiritual power.
Why then have we not produced
more well-known writers, great |
evangelists. renowned statesmen? II
is because we have not had the ,
chance. We have not even had the
vision OF progress. Who can say
that the mountain boy in that far
of valley might not become a Riley,
a Moody, a Webster, il given his Wis
ion and his chance?
The greatest need Of Appalachian
America today is leadership, inspir-
I'd leadership-mountain men who
have seen the vision.
At present fifty per cent OF the
Academy graduates Of the past ten
years are back in their home COM
back among their kinsmen,
back in their loved mountain homes;
md in the sections where we find
hese Academy leaders we find bet
er roads, better schools, better
churches, a higher moral standard.
This is the work OF the Academy

Washington, March 15.-Count j.
H. Won Bernstorff, German ambassa,
dor, in discussing with state depart
ment officials the sinking of the Amer.
ican ship William P. Frye, defended
the action of Captain Thierichens, Of
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, contending that he act
ed under the declaration of London.
which was the only guide he had as to
disposition of prizes.
The ambassador before going to the
state department conferred with Cap.
tain Boy-El, naval attache Of the EN-.
bassy, who returned from Newport
News, where he went to hear the story
Of the sinking of the American vessel
from the commander of the Prinz
Eitel.
Germany Sends No Instructions.
Count Bernstorn did not present any
note to the state department and said
he had received no instructions from
his government. He said he called to
discuss the question informally and to
learn what was the view of the United
States.
In defending the action of Comman.
der Thierichens, the ambassador con.
tended that when the officer left Using.
tau at the outbreak of the war last
August, he had nothing to follow but
the declaration of London in deciding
what to do with vessels he might SEIZE
For that reason the ambassador ar.
gued, he had a right to sink the Frye
as its cargo Of wheat was consigned
ito order" and destined to fortified
port of the enemy. So long as there
was no port in which he could take
his prize, he had right, the ambas.
sador contended, to destroy not only
the cargo, but the vessel itself.
Regards judicial Nieeties.
Furthermore, the ambassador argued
that the commander of the Prinz Ethel,
when he sank the Frye, did not know
that a German prize court on Aug. 3
udu ue1u IudL Tue mere TACT That q
merchant ship was bound for an en-.
envy port was not sufficient proof that
its cargo was destined for the enemy.
The case Of the Frye, however, the
ambassador said, would have to be set
tied in accordance with international
law because of the present status of
the declaration Of London.
1--WE do not intend" he said, "to
disregard any of the judicial niceties
in the case"

sailing ship William P. Frye was sunk
