better. Death is thought to have been

feeling nervous and tired for several
days, neither members of his family nor

and was loved and respected by the
members Of the student body, other
members of the faculty and citizens
generally. In addition to his duties as
instructor, he taught classes in Latin
and German, also giving religious IN
struction
Members of the college faculty recog-
| nized Prof. Eickmann as hard-wOrking
| and CONSCIENTIOUS gentleman. He was
ever faithful and earnest in the perfOr-
nance of his duties and was highly es-
timated by all who enjoyed an acquaint-
aDce with him.
Prof Eickmann was fty-iiye years of
age. He was born in the province of
Brandenberg, Germany. September q,

the allied nations, adding to a question
that the war would end in sixty days II
the United States would refuse to al
low the shipment of any more arms and
ammunition to Europe. He branded as
false the stories of the English regard
ing German cruelty to the Belgians The
Belgians were under a miscOncept1On,
declared the general, adding that Sc
cret treaty with England had violated
their neutrality in 1906, and that the
Belgians, particularly in Louvain, were
under a further misconceptiOn when
they believed that English forces had
landed and that French soldiers were
near, SO they fired on the German sol
diers, and as result many were killed
and the city burned.
La speaking Of the Lusitania affair
and in reply to question, the general
said that if the English continued to
send floating arsenals" to sea, and this
government allowed them to sail with
passengers on board, he hoped they
would sink all of them.
The general defended the German mil
itary system from the charge OF mill
tarism, declaring that it is only German
defense, and that German discipline is
only organized German courage. A high
tribute was paid to the excellence Of the
German military system. AS an example
he declared that $4,000 trains bearing
100000 soldiers and al their equip
ment were pushed across one bridge on
the Belgian line in the first nineteen
days of the war.
