DEGREE OF SCIENCE CON-
FERRED ON ALPINE CHASSEUR
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Aug. 9-For the first time
In its history, the old university Of
Paris, the Searbonne, has just con-
ferred the degree of bachelor of
sciences upon an Alpine Chasseur in
campaign uniform, on crutches and
with one eye only free from head
bandages.
The soldier candidate was George
Habert, scarcely more than a gamin
OF Paris, who interrupted his stud
les to enlist at the age of seventeen.
With the 18th battalion of Alpine
Chasseurs he participated in the as
saults upon Hartmannsweilerko
and helped carry the German trench
es at the point of the bayonet.
Grievously wounded in the head, he
fell into a German trench and was
captive for quarter of an hour;
his comrades, determined not to
leave him in the enemy's hands.
won the trench by a supreme effort.
Trepanning saved Herbert. who
went back to his books during his
convalescent leave and passed his
examination brilliantly.
Commencement exercises and
prize distributions everywhere in
France were the occasions of patri-
otic manifestations. At the Ecole
Alsacienne the ceremony was pre-
sided over by General Malleterre,
who lost his leg in the Argonpe dur
ing the battle of the Marne.
Among the successful candidates
for the baccalaureate at the Uni
versity of Nancy was Marcel Her.
rette, sergeant in the French in
fantry at II years of age. Wound
ed at the Eparges, he rejoined his
regiment and fought until two days
before the examinations. He re-
turned to the front after gradual
ing, two days before his leave ex-
pired and was killed while leading
charge the first day.
The youngest bachelor Of the
year is, no doubt, Leonce re Castel-
nau, the youngest son Of General
Curieres de Castelnau. He grad
uates at Toulouse University at the
age of 15 by special dispensation,
being under the prescribed age.
In many of the lyceums and COL
leges the roll of honor, comprising
the names of all former students
that have been killed or wounded or
have distinguished themselves. was
read. Perhaps the record belongs to
the Janson de Sally Lyceum. with
1870 dead. 1870 prisoners. $40 wound
ed. 2 crosses and % chevaliers of the
legion Of honor.

CHURCH TAX IS
STILL PAYABLE BY THOSE
AT THE FRONT
(By Associated Press. J

Berlin, Aug. 9-Fighting for the
Fatherland does not exempt one
from paying the universal church
tax, according to a ruling by the
highest authorities who have been
deliberating on countless appeals
for an opinion on tits question.
The "chief church council of the
evangelical church decides that a
man does not sever his connection
with his church by going to the
front. and that If he worships at a
field church he does so free Of
charge, SO that his responsibility to
his regular congregation does not
cease--financially at least.
Only minor proposition of Ger
mans are members of a church, or
attend services of any character
(because of the tax 1t has been
claimed) but they are nevertheless
not immune unless they can prove
beyond a shadow of doubt that
they hold no religion whatsoever or
have no religious connections
such as wife who attends church,
or such as having been married by
a minister. The great bulk of the
soldiers at the front thus are affect
ed by the ruling.

DISSENTION IN POLITICAL
RANKS ACCOUNT OF WAR
(By Associated Press. !

Berlin, Aug. 9-Indications con-
tinue to multiply that the issues
raised by the war have brought a
good deal Of dissension into the
ranks of the Social Democratic
party. Not only have adherents Of
the already existing wigs of the
party changed their allegiance in
numerous cases, but new groupings
have formed themselves within the
party. The Breslau volkswaght, a
Socialist paper. classifies -four
easilu distinguishable factions"
The leading group, however, the
paper says, is still "the bloc of Aug
ust 4th." including the majority of
the Reichstag fraction, of the gov
erning committee of the party, Of
the party committee and of the
press.
THE majority of the party" it
continues, docs not deny the i'm
perialists character of the war; it
desires to do everything to make an
early peace possible, but it sees as
the only way to this end the exist
ence of a similar feeling in the hos
tile countries and the seeking of i'm
perialistic tendencies not only in
Germany. but also to some degree
elsewhere, for example. in England
and Russia. The majority will also
oppose plans of conquest, but not
only in Germany, and considers i'm
possible any peace which is desired
solely by Germany and not by the
other countries. In the moment in
which advocates of peace raise their
voices abroad the party will recog-
nize its duty, and the same can be
said of the moment when it shall no
longer be necessary to battle for the
safety of the Fatherland."
OF fraction termed the Annex
ionists," the volkswacht says that
they are merely suspected of being
such by their political opponents.
They themselves do not admit It,,
but let 1t be seen that in their opin-
ion, the boundaries of todav are not
established for all eternity, that
such a convulsion as this world
war cannot pass over without GER
tain corrections being made. and
that the time will come when one
must be reconciled to these correc-
tions."
Another faction described as the
"Irreconcilables." 'reproaches the
party with having abandoned it's
principles and committed treason
against its whole past"
