YOU SHOULD RESPECT HER
Dear Miss Libbey:

Dear MISS Llbbey:-
 I am a young fellow nineteen years old. I took a girl home from a party. It was the first time. Would it be right to ask her if I could put my arm around her? Your answer will be prized.
 C. H. Because you took a girl from a par ty, that is nosreason you should forget that it would be decidedly ungentIe- manly and uncaIled for to put your arm around her. Young people should respect and honor each other.

machinery Of elaborate living.
 There are a lot of colleges today where 8 young man has got to be economical to get through on less than $500 to $1.000 a year. The cost is not ip tuition or board, but in. fra ternity bills and social and athletic expenses. The rich students feel 1t necessary to run all their organiza- tions and enterprises on a scale of elaborate expenditure. The poor poor mans son is made to feel an out cast if he does note hip in.
 College spirit is democratic, and the poor by is rarely dropped inten- tionally. He is simply ignored. He can't play the game. If he is a win ner in athletics. or if he makes a high mark in scholarship, he will be taken care Of. If he is just an ordi- nary boy, he is lost in the shuffle. This is not the spirit in which the colleges were founded. and through which they have exercised their pro- found influence on American life.

ENCOURAGES SOLDIERS
In the Three Hottest Engagements
the English Have Been in, Cen
eraI French Was
There

fBr William Phillip Simms. United
Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS. April Shy mail to New
York. l-A mud-caked surgeon told nae
this story about General Sir John
French. the English commander. with
whom General Joffre, head OF the
French forces shares. half and half,
the responsibility for the welfare Of
the allies in France.
II saw General French IN the battle
OF Neuye Chapeile,- said the surgeon.
The town was being mercilessiy
shelled- but he was running around
everywhere. talking TO his men, pri-
Yates and officers He might have
been killed by shell any minute.
1T vas a critical time. The village
SQUARE was filed with wounded. We
didn't know whether we could get our
ambuIances up TO the place or not
Its getting pretty hot I heard an
officer say to General French.
~Oh, not very. replied General
French We're only feeling a little
pressure
1On a curb stone continued the
surgeon, "a colonel sat. with his head
in his hands. Knotted in groups pear
him we're about go detected English
men, the remnants OF what had been
a crack English regiment only few
hours before. Three out of every four
o. them lad been killed that 6ay.
Please get your men together
said General French. to the colonel
then ordered his little handful OF
men to fall in
II was astonished," said the sur
geon- ito see General French climb
into an automobile. The minute the
soldiers. who had been through he'll
IRE. recognized him they cheered
family. The general stood up in the
car. raised his hand and began a little
speech
-T need you boys said General
French. Things are going beautifully
and we iced just little bit more
fighting Well soon have the Ger
mans back where we want them
The men we're electrified less By
the words than By the fact that Gen
erai French was personally in the
midst OF the fighting with them. They
gave a terrific cheer. The colonel
who had seemed broken man only a
few moments before, cheered too. In
little while the handful Of men were
back IN the thick Of the battle again
and General French was talking new
courage into another little group OF

fighting, and the fact that he does SO

It's against all the rules OF TarlAH

every success that this marvellous
English general has attained. SO far
in the great war. has been when ne
was breaking rules.
There can be no question that pub
lie opinion In France is inclined 10
think that the English have not given
until this spring the assistance on
continental territory that she might
have given and there is also sort
OF popular misgiving here that the
future wiz not see the situation RENE
died TO any great extent.
That the Germans are taking fuii
advantage Of this situation, and have
taken advantage OF it since the out
set of the war. there can likewise be
no doubt. Germany's remarks about
Great Britains despicable little army
SO statesmen say here, was intended
merely for its effect on France, to
cause the French to feel that they
have been left to do all the fighting
that the English are using the French
to win a war largely brought on by
England to gain English ends.
But French officials are taking
steps to stamp out any such impress
sion here and the visit Of Minister OF
War Alexander Millerand to England
was undoubtedly for the purpose OF
getting first hand information az to
the exact situation, mflitarily speak
ing. of the island ally. II is said that
he came back thoroughly satisfied and
even astonished. 1t is also reported
BIZ neutrals who have recently been
