Out Of the Shame Of China.

The Day of National Shame"
That is the way the Chinese have
named May seventh, 1915, when great
China bowed her submission to tiny
Japan.
You remember the details-how
young Japan sent an ultimatum to
be answered on or before May
seventh. China looked at her re-
sources; she had no fit army. no
wealth, no strong industries. no edu-
cation. none Of the things with which
inflated and helpless, she accepted
the ultimatum.
After the day Of acceptance. China
was bowed to the dust. "Self-Con-
scious Disgrace Societies" were or
yanized here and there throughout
China. Prominent Chinese agreed to
set the custom of lowering the rain

The Day Of National Shame"
Millions upon millions Of placards
and circulars. printed by all sorts Of

Late issues just received of one of
the Journals exchanges. the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin. beginning with that Of
Aug. 81, contain some fine illustra-
tons of the Inflated submarine F-4,
which was sunk about five months
ago in Honolulu harbor and which has
just been raised. They consist Of diff
ferent views of the craft, surrounded
by the immense pontoons by which
she was raised, all lying in the gigan-
tic floating dock. The craft is on her
side. almost upside down and shows
but little trace Of the tragedy through
which she had passed. with the loss
of every soul on board. The Star
Bulletin also from day to day con-
tanned graphic accounts Of the work
Of penetrating to the interior Of the
F-4 and the recovery of the remains
of her crew. The cuts and the stories
are each a credit to the paper.

G., Alleys Personal Advice.

In an address TO the student body
Thursday, President Robert j. Alley OF
the University of Maine, pointed out
the problems of university life. and
urged that the great opportunities 1t
offers should be grasped by all. He
also offered the new students his per-
sonaI advice in part as follows:
Master by hard work the les
sons in the various courses you
pursue.
Avoid all forms Of dissipation.
Cultivate and practice the
a-aees Of refined people.
Young men. see to it that your
sttitude toward women remains
that Of brother to sister or son to
mother.
Young women. see to il that you
cultivate only those graees that
prompts in the men Of your &C
auaintance the highest and best
forms Of ealIantry.
Have a coed measure Of whole
sore and sane recreation.
Il the young men and women of
American colleges would keep these
maxims always before them and
earnestly endeavor TO live up to them,
what a marvellous progress the next
generation would show. But how
many really heard what President
Alley was saying or deemed this faith
erly personal appeal as more than
few kind words offered to every class
no 70
ouslyo
Far too many of our youth mistake
the splendid opportunities of today as
an extension of play time in which
they are 10 have leisure to perfect
themselves in attractive words and
bearing for the opposite SEX while
awaiting the soft snap" that the
prestige of college man. or college
woman is to land for them. Good
advice makes no impression upon
them because that is meant only for
others and they will not need it.
How many young college men have
the same respect for the purity of
other girls that they would maintain
for their sisterso How many young
women are careful to cultivate only
those sraces that command the entire
respect of other young women's
brothers,
II every college man were imbued
20
the purity and full self respect of
every young woman of his acquaint
snce. and every college woman re-
fused to associate with or recognize
a man whose attitude was ever dis
respectful toward woman. what a
blessed moral advance would be made
for the next generation.
We are optimistic enough to believe
that these things are true in larger de-
gree than ever before. and we also
find proof that the horrors of war and
the awakening to the prevalence of
other evils which are gnaWing a the
vitals OF civilization, have caused a
period of deeper thinking, a recogni-
ton of the sure results of the I'M
halted tendency, a desire for better
conditions now and for vastly better
aims and desires for our children.
Let other college men and women
and the youth of our fitting schools as
WELL study we'll the meaning of DR..
Alley and remember his words of
guidance. The degree of actual liv-
ing up to those precepts will largely
determine the degree of their worth
while success.

Ralph Young and Clyde Riley,
while playing in a tree on Walker
street, had an experience last week
which threw the neighborhood into
Juror of excitement and which prob
ably taught them a lesson which they
will remember for the remainder of
the season at least, says the Bridgton
News. The Young boy in climbing
the tree took hold of one of the live
wires of the electric company. There
was only small voltage, to be sure,
but the result was a yell which could
be heard all over the neighborhood.
People came running from all direc
tions. Let go of it" was the uni
versal advice. Il haven't got hold of
it. it's got hold of me" yelled Ralph.
and try as hard as he would he could
not drop it. Women shrieked. dogs
barked and there was a general COM
motion. Wade Brigham came to the
rescue, however and when it was ap-
parent that the wire was holding the
youngster. he telephoned down to the
power house and the power was shut
off. When the wire became dead the
trouble was over and the kid climbed
down out of the tree a very chastened
youngster. His hand is burned some
what but other than that little damage
was done.

"Somewhere in France"

Somewhere in France the fevered day is
ending;
Belated wild birds in their homeward
flight
Circle and dip, the while, with sweet in
sistence,
the night.
Somewhere in France the warm green Of
her meadows
Cleans red and dank beneath the
brooding stars;
But what to her are blossom time and
harvest
Whose fields are sown and garnered by
red Marso
Somewhere in France the sodden
trenches cover
Dreams of warm vineyards basking in
the sun,
OF little children calling through the tWi-
light,
OF love and peace and home when day
is done.
Somewhere in France the sullen night is
Bringing no dreams to those who would
forget;
But what are dreams to him who knows
no waking,
For whom the sun shall no more rise
and set?
