new PRESIDENT FOR
ARKANSAS COLLEGE
Board Also Starts Campaign to
Raise Endowment Fund of
100000

At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of Arkansas College
of Batesville, held in Little
Rock Tuesday afternoon, Dr..
w. S. Lacey, d. d., was elected
president; Dr.. E. R. Long was
elected to the chair of English
Bible and Political Science, and
a campaign to raise an endoW-
ment fund Of 100000 was de-
cided upon by the board.
The college now has an en-
dowment Of $4,000, but it is
the desire of the board to in
crease this amount. The raising
of the 100000 is conditional
upon Batesville raising $25, 900
additional. DR.. Lacey, the new
president, formerly was finance
agent for the college, and now
is connected with the Peace In
stitute at Raleigh, N. c.
If DR.. Lacey accepts the
presidency he will have active
charge Of the endowment fund
and will be relieved of teaching
during the time he is on the
campaign. DR.. Lacey was re-
sponsible for the raising ofmost
of the present endowment. He
is native Of Union county and
received his education at the
college. DR.. Lacey has Just end
ed successfully 100000 cam
paign for Union Theological
Seminary, in Virginia.
DR.. Eugene r. Long is a son
ofthe found n of Arkansas Col
lege, and was president until
two years go,when heresigned
Ilege, Sherman, Tex. Both the
legt, Sherman, Tex. Both the
ELECTION of DR.. Lacey and DIR.
Long were unanimous. The
board expressed the hope both
would accept the offers and as
sumo their duties on June l.
The Rev. j. H. Morrison was
instructed by the board to con-
Itinue his efforts to raise cash
for the institution. The canvass
being made by the Rev. Mr..
Morrison is separate from the
endowment fund plan.

He also pointed out theory that will strike
many Americans as most interesting IN the
statement that "the German Americans would
never 90 to war against the United States.
though they might against the usurpcrs OF
power in the United States who had forced the
country into an unjust war for their selfish in
terests'
On the other hand, F. F. Schrader. former
associate editor Of "Fatherland," steers almost
a middle course between Ridder and Dorl He
lays stress on the actions OF the German
Americans in past wars.
But let them speak for themselves;
The Germans in America. answered Mr..
Rdder, in the event OF war with Germany,
on no matter what excuse, and no matter how
trifling or inconsequential the excuse for the
war against the Fatherland might seem to
them to be- would do they have always done
all over the world. They would fight for the
United States against Germany, OF course.
They would do just what the Germans who
were living in Russia at the outbreak of the
present European war did-hght tor their
adopted country. There has never been any
real question about that. They would be as
patriotic as any class OF citizens we have,
and probably more patriotic than some. The
Germans have always been fighters. Proba-
bly, when the call for volunteers sounded 1t
would be found that much larger percentage
of Germans had enlisted. even to fight against
Germany. than the percentage OF those who
are now yelping for war against the Father
land. 1t is not always those who cry most
loudly for war that enlist
But. oh, what an excuse for war! | can
no, sec how any enthusiasm could be devel-
opcd in war growing out OF such causes as
are now discussed. What fine battle cry we
would have!
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-03-12

w THAT will the German Americans do
w in the event OF a war between Ger
many and the United States? What
xru they do should the United States. for
causes which they are now declaring so vocit-
.rously are hmsy, should ally herself with the
Allies, and join England, France. Russia and
Italy in their effort to crush the Central Powers?
These questions were put squarely up to
several different types of German American
editors by The Tribune, and the answers are
most interesting. In the last few days Ger
man editors from all over the country have
been in Washington, some OF them, including
Bernard H. Ridder, OF the New Yorker Stats
Zei,ung" to see President Wilson and explain
70 him the German side of the present con-
,roversy as viewed by German Americans.
Others went for the purpose OF lending what
aid they could to the move in Congress TO tie
the Presidents hands. hoping thus to enable
the Fatherland TO obtain better terms from the
United States in determining the conditions
under which submarjn warfare may be waged.
One OF the questions which has aroused
some trepidation among patriotic Americans
since the surprising development OF the by
nhenate has been whether, if the United States
should 60 to war with Germany. this country
would be confronted by a condition OF civil
war; war in which our tiny standing army
might be confronted by well trained, even II
not perfectly armed, army OF German reserv-
lists who have not been able to get back to
hght the enemies OF the Fatherland in France,
Russia or the Balkans.
To this question in particular the answers
OF the German editors are interesting. but
different. The more general view is typihed
bv the positive declaration by Mr.. Ridder that
me Germans. regretfu as they might be and
lacking in enthusiasm as they would be, should
