costing to the President and Fellows
Of Harvard college that Prof. Muens-
terberg's views and affiliations were
inconsistent with the obligations Of
teacher of American youth. One Of
the signers Of this resolution was
Prof. William Roscoe Thayer Of Har-
ward Law School.
. Prof. Muensterberg gave his first
public lecture since the war about two
months ago, before an international
society at Harvard and at that time
he predicted that unless the United
States could arrange for peace, Ger
many and Russia would surely make
a separate peace.
Successful at Hypnotism.
AS a psychologist he was firm be-
lever in the laboratory method. He
was one Of the first to study hypo-
tism and his success in this field gave
him a sort of uncanny notoriety.
He had presided over the first uni
versity course in hypnotism given
anywhere, and from that time on he
never ceased to work psychothera-
POLITICALLY in the psychological labor
atory.
Prof. Muensterberg was opposed to
every 'ism' which claimed to use
spiritual methods or claims in the
cure of physical or mental diseases.
DR.. Muensterberg had high esti-
nation of the mental powers of wo-
men generally, but while he claimed
that they could think as rapidly as
could men, he asserted they were un :
fitted for jury work because OF psy-
Geological reasons. They do not

proved by repeated experiments, he
asserted.
He was absolutely opposed to Pres
ident Eliot on the alcohol question,
and gave his opinion that total abstin-
ence and prohibition are not only I'M
necessary but useless, and in a de-
gree harmful.
Prof. Muensterberg was a prolific
writer, both in English and German.
His chief works in the former Ian
guage were: PSYCHOLOGY and Life"
published in 1899; american Traits"
"The Americans" "Principles of Art
and Education External Life" "Sci-
ence and Idealism,' con the Witness
Stand" Psychology and the Teach
err" besides many others
He was much interested in unusual
court trials, and was sometimes
sought as a witness He had written
copiously on such a variety of topics
relating to human action that his
works were often quoted in court. At
a recent trial of a street railway case
in Boston counsel for the plaintiff
quoted Prof. Muensterberg on the
psychology of motorman's mental
processes, and at the Albert Roper
murder trial in East Cambridge last
summer he was frequent attendant
and his opinions about it were quot

THE NEWSPAPERS
AND PAPER STOCK

The recent hearings before the Fed
eral Trade Commission on the price
of print paper hit vital issue. Pa
per producers and representatives of
the Publishers Associations are now
trying to work out some plan for a
more equitable distribution Of the
supply.
The high price Of paper has been
condition vitality affecting one of the
most important industries. Many of
the smaller papers have had to sus-
pend. Still more are using a grade
Of stock they would have been asham-
ed to put in few years ago.
The producers Of paper should not
kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. They should not stick on higher
prices than are necessary. If they do
they will hurt their own industries.
Many publishers who have been run
ming now on very cheap grades Of pa
per will quite likely continue to use
these grades after the exigency has
passed.
They will argue that the public has
become used to cheap paper, that it Is
satisfied if it gets the news, and is not
fussy about the kind of material 1t
is printed on. If, as seems likely, this
results in a permanent use of cheap
err grades of stock in thousands Of
offices, the manufacturers will suf-
fer more than anyone else. 1t Is the
usual rule in all processes that the
cheaper the stock the less profit in it.
The suspension Of a large number
of the smaller papers is a loss to
great many localities. These little
sheets did their work as opponents
and leaders of community life. The
fact that they had been able to exist
on a basis of moderate paper prices
showed that they performed a SER
vice and filled a/need. Public sem
timent should sustain them. In SO
far as the public authorities have any
control over the paper trade, they
can be sure that public sentiment will
demand the most liberal treatment
possible for the publishers, and will
feel that high paper prices are a tax
on popular education and civic better
ment

memory and he has disciplined it so
thoroughly throughout his life that
he admittedly has the finest memory
of any business man in the country.
Though working twelve hours a
day as a laborer in a wire mill he
studied Systematically every evening,
and in IA months became a mechanic,
rising to be foreman in charge of the
800 men in the works before he was
10.
Having made several voyages with
his seafaring father when school
boy, he became interested in foreign
lands and to-day he is as familiar
with every foreign country as he Is
with Pittsburgh or New York-he
has been called "a walking gazetteer
of the world"
His knowledge of shipping, Of
steamship lines and lanes, of how best
to, transport merchandise from one
point of the globe to any other point
is 50 far beyond that of any other
human being that he has won the
nickname of "the American Lloyds'
Register''-he can tell the location
any day of hundreds of vessels plying
all over the seven seas.
Twenty years before the average
American realized the importance OF
foreign outlets for domestic products,
Mr.. Farrell, in face of obstacles which
would have driven others to despair,
inaugurated, single handedly, a cam
paign for the conquest of oversee
markets for American steel products
and built up an export business be-
fore the war Of almost 100000, 900
a year, a record not approached by
any other individual. Since then the
annual total has been more than
doubled.
To- day, as president Of the Foreign
Trade Council, he is rendering invalu-
able service to American manufac-
turers in aiding them to overcome
obstacles in entering foreign markets.
In nine days Examination during
the governments suit against the
Steel Corporation, Mr.. Farrell as
founded everybody by answering
thousands upon thousands of ques-
tons of every conceivable variety
without having to refer to, single
scrap of paper The replies in many
maximum, minimum and percentage
cures involving decimal points, yet
the witness recited them from me-
mOry as easily as If he had records
in front of his eyes.
He can enter the f,.1lls and mines of
the company and greet hundreds of
co-workers by their first names even
though, as occasionally happens, he
runs across a workman he may not
have seen since the days when they
sat together as common 1aborers or
artisans on the cinder pile.
With it all with all his amazing
knowledge, his unique standing in his
field and his power as president of an
organization employing 100000 men,

Said War Was FORCED on Germany
In his book 1.-THE War and Amer
ica,v published in the fall of 1914, he
claimed that the war was really be-
tween Russia and Germany and was
forced upon the latter. England and
France came in because they saw an
opportunity to gain land and trade at
Germany's expense. He also justified
the attacks on Belgium.

These are busy days at the govern

United States sub-treasury in New
York city. More than $G00,000,090 in
gold bars have passed through the pro-

most of which come from France and

In one of the French trenches the

to high perfection, for a parquet hoor'

ute to avoid the puffbals of shrapnel
that appear in punches at the spot
where they have just left. In the
hardy way one has of talking at the
front you hear it constantly spoken
of as a "shOw"-and it is all that,
Nothing that could touch it was ever

The Somme Battlefield.
The appearance of the battlefield Is
most remarkable. l have already
cabled description in which l COM
pared it to cubist painting; nor
did that description strain the effect.
Just as picture it is in itself a
strained effect. In way it reminds
one of some of the drawings made
of the battlefelds of the American
Civil war, in which the artist tried
to show the mass Of men on the bat
tlefield, but in the mass they are not
like ordinary men. They appear in
their very massing to have created
something new.
Beside ne is james Fl. Hare, the
war photographer, suffering for lack
of the camera which he was forbid
den in this most intensely interesting
spot photographer could hope to
find. But, great photographer as he
is, doubt that his instrument could
record that peculiar modern effect Of
the battlefield Of the Somme.
At this stage of the war the morale
of the men holds ones interest as
much as the fight they are making.
All about is this new British army.
men who had only vague notions Of
war two years ago and, until this
war broke out, never expected to have
Il hand in one. Yet here they are as
soldierly n lot as you will find In any
army. They look like old soldiers
and in the intensive forcing of new
troops this war has caused, they are
veterans.
The Australians and Canadians one
hears the most about, and, as saw
the Australians and New Zealanders
last winter in Egypt just as they came
back bored with Gallipoli and eager
to get at the Germans, l expected to
write in particular about them. But
now am here all the troops are so
soldierly it would be unfair to dis
tinguish. 1t is wonderful what has
been done with some of the regiments
of the most insular and narrow of
British wOrkmen from the Midlands,
coal miners and plOw boys. l cannot
tell the regiments of Kent from those
of Ulster.
Ulster and Dublin.
War as a leveler, however, has had
its supreme test here. Some Of the
Ulster regiments here found them
selves short of officers, I have been
told, and it was necessary to supply
them with officers from the south of
Ireland. There was no objection
raised either and the combination has
worked wonderfully well. Surely there
could be no greater proof of the dead
seriousness of this business than the
willingness of Ulster and Dublin men
to fight and die together; and when II
comes to Ulster men permitting them
selves to be led by those from Dublin.
the story of the French and British
commanders who went over the para.
pets together is as nothing for dra-
matte force.
