Points Out Difficulties
IN Exchange of American
Students and Professors

speaking today on "The Organization
ana Development of a Plan for the
systematic Exchange of University Stu
oents and Professors Between Several
american Republics" before the dele
gates to the congress primarily inter-
ested In educational problems, Prof
John Bassett Moore of Columbia Uni
Versity pointed out certain practical
difficulties which have not heretofore
been considered in discussions of this
important development of the activities
part: III
The fact must be admitted that lit
tie or no account has ever been taken
either OF experience or of the inherent
dimculties of the subject OF exchanye
certainly the time has come when. in
steao OF making vague assumptions,
we shouio examine the problem at
stand it,"
Results Not Uniform.
Dealing with the question as one of
systematic exchange. I hazard nothing
in saying that the results of such an
exchange OF professors, where it has
actually been tried. have not by any
means been uniform. While in some
valuable. their value has in other cases
been less appreciable"
III l correstly apprehend the under
lying purpose Of the systematic exchange
OF professors. 1t is the Interpretation. in a
broad sense. Of the history, institutions
and ideals Of one people to another peo-
pie. to the end that they may know
each other better. and. profiting by each
others experience and achievements,
learn TO work together in sympathy and
- ondt
humanity"
1nadeqnate Means Suggested.
Such being the object to be at.
tanned. may we not ask whether in es-
saying to reach it by the mere ex-
change OF professors We are not pro-
posing means inadequate to the ac-
complishment Of the end in view?
TT may regularly happen that a pro-
iessor who, by reason of his excep-
tional fitness and prestige is specially
desired. may be engaged in important
work which he cannot be fairly asked
personal situation may be such that he
is unable to absent himself from his
home. 'e
Indeed. do we transcend the bounds
OF admissible conjecture II we permit
ourselves to suppose that by reason OF
a continuation of circumstances the
services he is at the moment rendering
at home be Of greater value than any
he could just then perform tlsewhere?
Age Of Students q Factor,
"As to the exchange Of students little
need be said on the present occasion.
There is one point which it would be
well to bear in mind. and that is the
question Of the age of the students to
be exchanged.
Not long ago in presenting this oues-
tion to number of foreign students
of different nationalities, 1 was struck
with the fact that they seemed ali to
concur in the opinion that 1t was un-
desirable to send youths away from
home at such an eardly age that. re-
ceiving their formative Impressions
abroad. they would return to their ma
tive land as strangers in a strange en-
vironment. with the result that they
would be unable to work in harmony
and cooperation with their own peo-
pie and would even find their ability
to make living seriously impaired"

President Is Determined
Submarine Question Shall
Be Brought to a Showdown

President Wilson is returning to Wash
ington ahead of his schedule in mood
Of determination, 1t was learned today. to
bring to an issue the question of sub
marine slaughter. which has been made
more acute than ever during the past
two or three days by the sinking Of the
Persia, with Consul McNeely on board.
1t was stated today that the Presi-
dent will endeavor, Immediately upon
his return, to ascertain the facts in this
latest case and will act promptly as
soon as they have been reported. A
special meeting of the cabinet is not
at all unlikely, as soon as the reports
have been received. giving the pas's
fer action by this government.
The gravity of the situation Is to be
seen in the fact that the President has
hastened his return form Hot Springs
by two days. having been IN close COM
since the receipt OF the news OF the
Persia disaster.
1t is, of course. not known at the
White House or at the state Depart
ment that the Persia was sunk oy an
Austrian submarine. or that she actual
ly falls within the category Of the ves-
sells for which this government has de-
manded at least the right OF warning
before being sunk, with ample oppor-
tunity for an escape of all on board.
May End Relations Abruptly.
But it became plain today that II this
;s the case, and the Persia was sunk
as was the Lusitania and the Arabic.
without warning or resistance, Austria.
If a vessel bearing her flag was the
agent of destruction, will be called to
terms in the sharpest language yet
used in a note bearing on the sub
marine question.
II is even hinted that there is in some
minds a peremptory dismissal from
washington of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of the offending power. II
the facts are as now believed.
It furthermore developed today that the
President does not intend to yield In
this matter any degree OF responsloihty
or initiative to Congress. put tnat ne
proposes to continue TO hanole tne
Question Enthusiastically. without ref
erence to the actual warmaklns power
of the government.
Conversational visitors to the White
House today. who went there IN order
to learn the latest news on the sttua-
tion. indicated that there is no disposi-
tion to relieve the President OF any OF
the responsibility in this matter. but
that there is a willingness on the part
to deal with the questions without be-
ing hampered by suggestions ana ad-
vice. .
The Presidents oeteImlnation 70
bring the submarine question to a hnal
showdown, it was learned today. Is In
spired by his appreciation of the fact
that the destruction of the Ancona and
the Persia have aroused public feeling
in this country to an even greater de-
gree than was manifest in the case of
the Lusitania, and that there Is q ma
tional demand for positive action that
will clearly define the American con-
demnation of the practice OF murder by
submarine.

London Papers Ask if Cup
Of Teutonic Enormity Is
Full Enough for America

AOA>s SdAudTy S-Ine LONDON
morning papers, in editorials on the
sinking of the steamer Persia, de-
nounce the act in scathing terms and
ask whether the cup OF Teutonic enor-
nifty. as far as America is concerned, is
yet full.
The Daily Mail says: The cowardly
SINKING OF the Persia will steel the
hearts OF all Britons and prompt them
not to mere denunciation, but to ac-
ton and will convince the waverers by
thousands that the hour has come to
enlist"
The Daily Express says:
These submarine murders will not
De dfsregarded in America. American
citisens have been murdered before;
now United States Official has been
Killed Germany has clearly shown
that she is Indifferent to the world s
opinion"
The Standard says: "If President
wilson thinks it worth while to con-
tinue haggling with the German and
crimes continue and while the note
promising redress for the Ancona-
with the tongue, of course, in the
cheek-on Its way to him that is his
forts to hasten the day of victory The
effect Of the latest outrage will be to
assist in passing the compulsory serv-
Ice bill and stimulate recruiting"
No Room for Explanation.
The Times, assuming that it was the
Austrians. though it may possibly
have been German or a Turkish SUBJ
marine. says: Whatever flag is STAIN
ed by this fresh outrage there is no
room for hollow, cynical explanations
by which Vienna sought to amuse
Washington. 1t cannot be pretended
that the Persia was torpedoed in such
a gentle fashion that the passengers
ought to have been saved but for the
culpable negligence of the crew. which
Is the cowardly defense of the Aus
trians in the Ancona case. Even Aus
trian impudence and cynicism cannot
plead that fve minutes is long enough
to save hundreds of passengers"
The Times considers that the central
powers will find 1t dangerous to flout
American opinion, and says that "the
lea, but when 1t Is full it overflows
with disconcerting suddenness."
Shows Value Of Assurances.
The Chronicle says: I'm the light of
this appalling crime President Wilson
can measure the value of the assur-
ances received from Germany and Aus
tria The former never apologized for
sinking the Lusitania and Austria has
sent to Washington a tardy apology for
sinking the Ancona. it's utter insincer-
ity being shown by the almost simulta-
neous sinking of the Yasaka Maru the
Vile de la Ciotat and Persia. The CEN
trail powers could scarcely be more
open in their contempt for the Ameri-
can government, and one wonders how
much longer the American government
and people will continue to tolerate
their attitude"
PRESUMABLY Americas action will be
determined by the fate Of the few
American passengers aboard the Per-
sia," says the Daily News. I'VE should
like to believe for the sake of her good
name. as much as in the interest of any
victims of the future, that it would not,
but whatever the Presidents decision,
his right to choose his course without
complaint or criticism from this side is
unqualified and unquestioned."

OVERS APPLE ORCHARD
PROMISES BIG YIELD

Bert Dyer's big apple orchard
presents sight hard to describe. He
has over 1000 trees in bearing and
they are now in full bloom and each
tree is a bower of beauty. Never
have they been so full and If a
tenth of the blooms set the apples
will have to be thinned The trees
are of fine shape, the branches
growing to the ground, sheltering
the trunk from the suns hot rays
and affording easy picking. Mr..
Dyer planted the orchard nineteen
years ago and since it has been in
bearing only two total failures are
recorded. Last year he picked sew
eral thousand bushels. He will erect
a cold storage building on the farm
this summer and install his own re-
plant. A. d. Colby is
aiding Mr. Dyer in the orchard
work and is proving an expert in
that line of work.

scientious in his work, and though
he realized he was afflicted with
appendicitis he kept postponing an
operation until Sunday when a most
violent attack occurred OF big ply
sique and previously without a sick
day, his demise is especially dis
tressing."
