WASHINGTON, oct. ia West
ende, the little Belgian coast town
where the long German line in the
west TANKS upon the North Sea and
which has frequently been under;
bormbardment by English Et!nb6ats
during the last several weeks, forms
the subject Of the war primer issued
today by the National Geographic
Society. The small resort, figuring
SO often in the press dispat ches, is
described as follows:
While the first line German
trenches run through Newport, a
couple OF miles beyond Westende the
latter town has been subjected to
fnnumerab1e attacks from the sea,
as a base immed iatefy behind the
trenches. Two lines Of coastal RAN
way from 0stend, one built along
the seashore and the other parallel
ing 1t less than a mile inland, meet
at Westende, whence they bend away
from the sea, to the south Of Nteu-
port, crossing the User river, into
the allies country as a trunklfne.
During the bathingl season in peace
times. electric cars were run on,
short time schedules over these lines
Carrying happy vacation crowds from
osten to Newport, Ostend to Dinkffki
and back again. The Germans have
endeavored under hail 81 shells
to keep the lines open as ways for
the transport of supplies TO the
front.
The stretch Of North sea coast,
from Ostend to French Dunkirk, Isl
dotted thick with summer resorts.
which have enjoyed d wide interna-
tional popularity. Along the cleo
trio railway from Ostend, are Maria
kerke baths, Middlekerke baths.
Westende baths, Lombartzyde baths
and Newport baths. and the way to
lWestende is little more than seven
miles. The baths at Westende We'd
with Ostend in the matters Of wealth
and Importance Of their guests, for
this little knot Of modern villas back
from the seashore was one OF the
most fashionable resorts along the
coast.
The broad field of hill high sand
dunes begins just below Westende
and sweeps down the coast far be-
hind the lines of the allies. These
Belgian sand piles have become
known everywhere for the frightful
carriage which has taken place among
them. In this same field OF dunes
which extends southwest to the
French frontier, was fought, In
1900, the battle Of the Dunes, wher
each sand hillock between Westendc

'PUBLIC BE DAMNED" ATTITUDE OF SCHOOL
TRUSTEES MUST BE STOPPED
~ HARRY p. BURTON

BY HARRY P. BURTON
New York, July 14.-"The public
be-damned' attitude of the trustees of
our American colleges has got to go!
I'VE have got to make them realize
that our professors are not hired
men but men of consciences, who
cannot be fired just because they dare
to think, in the way by which Prof
Scott Nearing has just been fired
fired from the University of Pennsyl-
vania-becaUse he allowed his mind
to work in a way obnoxious to CAPT
taIism!
eve have got to make them know
that a college, state or private, is
public prOpeTty-prOperty as public
as the postOfiice, since it deals in
men, and our young men belong, not
to any particular economic group,
but to our coUntry!"
The most famous professor in the
United States, "the greatest thinker
in America since the death of William
James" Prof. John Dewey of Column
bia University, today threw this bomb
into the ranks of those American mil
ionaires who are attempting to con-
troll the education Of our youths
through wealthy boards of college
trustees, by dropping radical pro-
fessoTs from teaching rosters and
substituting safe and sane" ones.
