OBERLIN COLLEGE.

The founder of the town and college of OberIin, Ohio, was Rev. John J. Shipherd, who was born IA yeards ago today, March 28, 1902. He joined with Philo P. Stewart in founding the famous educational Institution, which was established in 1884 as Oberlin Collegiate, and charated in 1850 as Oberlin College. The institution was named Oberlin as a mem orial to Rev. J. F. Oberlin, a Protestant pastor of WaIdbach, in A1sace, who was born in 1740 and died in 1926. During the decade prior to the Civil War Oberlin College became known as a center of the abolition movement and as a t'sta- ton" on the underground railway 8 popular designation of the secret means by which runaway slaves were permitted to escape into Canada. In 1858 Prof. Henry B. Peck of the Ober- lin faculty, and others were arrested, under the fugitive slave law, for res- cuing the negro Little John," who had been taken from Oberlin by a United States deputy marshal. Ober- lin College now has a faculty of 175 and about 1,7OO students. and is one of the most hourishtng of the smaller American educational institutions.

Premier Briand 54 Today.

M. Aristide Briand. the Premier of France, and as such the real political head of the republic, was born at Nantes 54 years ago today, March 28,t F1862. His career has been spectacular and sensati onal. Time and again he has been politically dead and buried, only to rise from his f.grave' and drive his enemies from power In the greatest crisis in French history, when the Viviani ministry of which he was a member failed to satisfy the people, Briand was called upon to take the helm and guide the ship of state. This is not his first experience as Prime Minister, and the has brought to the task the ripened Judgment of years of public life.
 Briand entered politics as a socialist. and.siae is still to some extent a dis cipIe of that economic creed, although he no longer associates with the ex- tremists of the French party. Tn his youth he studied law. but >devoted most of his young manhood to jour- naHstic- pursuits, on the staffs of such sociaIistic and radical publications as Petite Republique, La Ianterne and L'Hufnanite- It was his work in con- nection with the church and state separation bill that brought him into prominence. He reported that meas ure in the Chamber of Deputies, and was it's most eloquent defender. Ten years ago, as a reward for this work, he entered the ministry with the portfolio of Public Instruction and Worship. Formerly a revolutionary socialist, he became the vigorous op- ponent of the extremists headed by Jean Jaures and Gustave Herve. He attained a tremendous personal fol- lowing and in 1909 .he was made Prime Minister for thef first time. HAs his responsibilities increased he grew more moderate and conservative, and was expelled from the socialist party. The final break came when the great railroad strike of 1910 left France com pletely at the mercy of the strik- CTS. Briand handled the situation with hrmn ess, calling the strikers to the co1ors for three weeks training and assigning them to protect the rail- ways. Thus the strikers were actually compelled to become their own strike breakers. In 1911 the Briand min fstry fell, and his political enemies re- joiced, asserting that he would never be heard of again. They were nts- taken, for in 1913 M. Briand again became Prime Minister. but his reign was brief. He then formed new party, called the Briandists, and gain ed 9. large following. At the outbreak of the war he entered the Viviani min istry, and last autumn he succeeded Viviani as Prime Minister.

MADAGASCAR.

The Island of Madagascar has been the scene of the latest attempt of Ger man agents to foment\ insurrection,
 according to Paris papers which have
 just reached this side. Remote as is
 this large French island from the seat Of war, it has not been overlooked by the propa gandists of the Kaiser. Ao-
 cording to the French reports, a mum
 Der of native chiefs were given large sums of money and encouraged in every way to rise against their French masters. A wholesale massacre of white officers, soldiers, officials aud co1onists was plotted, but the conspir
 acy was discovered, and over 200 ar rests were made by the French author itfes. According to the Paris reports, the native so1diery and the great bulk of the population remain unaffected by the propaganda. The Germans have long coveted the rich island of Mada- gascar, the northern end of which lies off the southern end of German East Africa. The Berlin government sought to gain the ascendancy in the island. long ago, but their efforts were out stripped by the French. In 1885 the French established a French resident general at the capital of the despotic gingdon Antananarivo, and assumed control of the islands foreign rela- ton. Great Britain recognized the French protectorate in 1890, but there was much trouble between the natives and the French before the occupation was made complete. In 1895 Queen Ranava1ona signed a treaty accept ing the protectorate, and the following year the island was made a French colony, with the native monarch a hgurehead. Madagascra, which lies in the Indian ocean off the east coast of Africa, has an area of 228, 800 square miles. The great majority of the inhabitants are not negroes, but belong to the MaIayo-Polynesian stock and. speak a MaIayan language.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1894-Jimmy Barry knocked out Casper Leon in 18th round at La mont, III. It was in this battle with the clever little Italian that Barry won the bantamweight title, which he held until 1899, when he retired unde- feated. Barry was a native of Chica- go and was twenty-four when he an- nexed the championship. Standing $ feet inches in height and weighing from 105 to no pounds, Jimmy was a little dynamo chock full of fight. If heavyweight had ss much punch, power and fighting sl-rit in propor-
 ton to size as Barry had, he would
 become the pugilistic wonder of all time, and could knock any opponent into the middle of next week. Barry received his boxing education at a Chicago resort where two-ounce gloves, were used and in an arena with a hardwood floor and unpadded stakes. In this rough-and-ready school Barry won his neckname of Little Tiger" After a few regular fights in Chicago, and his defeat of Jimmy German in New Orleans, Bar ryl claimed the bantam title. The only man good enough to dispute his claim was Casper Leon, a native of Sicily. The bout was hard fought

fslatien passed by Congress caused the strike to be called off.
 'If the word desperation seems too strong, Nit must be remembered that, besides the New Mexico, there were under construction five other battleships, ten destroyers, four aux1- liary vessels and 31 submarines. Work on every one of these would have to stop if a strike should last two weeks. More than that, Congress had just ap- propriated nearly s315,0 100000 with which to build something like sixty additional vessels for the navy, and not one of these could be begun. And in addition to all the rest, when the threat of a strike became acute the navy had only a two weeks supply of coal on hand. By having everything within reach a sufficient supply was secured for ten days or two weeks more, But if a strike should last month, every ship in the navy, except the very few that use oil for fuel would have to tie up to the dock and lie there as helpless as a painted ship upon a palnted ocean,
 Because 1t leads out from one of the greatest coal fields and from the greatest steel manufacturing center
  definitely dependable Ohio river would, in case of such strike as has just been temporarily averted, be worth more to the navy alone than its improvement will cost. If the coal and steel that it could carry should save us from attack by an enemy when our navy was helpless, 1t would be worth more to the Nation than all | that ever has been or ever will be spent on all the waterways of the l United States. Yet the filibusters conducted by former Senator Burton have seriously delayed the work upon the Ohio-a9d on every other water way and harbor in the land-and the Senator who led the fi1ibuster against the River and Harbor bill of 1916 tried to cut out the whole appropriation 1 for the Ohio and stop the work en- | tirely.
 | Recent dispatches from Germany state that although the railways are given over almost entirely to military use, a althriving commerce is being carried on with Switzerland. Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden over the network of waterways which reaches every part of the empire. Be- cause we have failed to develop and use our waterways the people of the United States have, within the past few weeks, been brought face to face with the portentous fact that, just as long as we depend solely on one meth cd of transportation, our co o.nmercial prosperity, our national existence, our very lives may be imperilIed by dis pute over wages, hours. and condition of employment
 ''No lesson is more clearly taught by the anxious days of the recent past than that the work of improving our natural waterways and joining them into great, connected system should be pushed with all possible speed and it should be made sure beyond all Lperadventure that the needed appro- Ipriations/ can neither be Burton-ized nor Carter-ated."
