CURRENT COMMENT
Fundamentals of a Great Bargain.

The idea of the frankfurter Zeitung
that the standpoints OF both parties 20
the great struggle In Europe "are already
partly identical as 10 the general funda'
mental aims OF the war; and that there.
fore they can work together. at least up
10 a certain point, in peace negotiations,
may surprise some people very much,
but IL nevertheless has ground The Ger.
man people believe that they were at.
tackled, and that the war is with them
one OF defense The British and French
people believe exactly the same thing,
No matter what the fact may be as TO
the aggressions actually designed and
inaugurated by the German government,
the conviction Is general and sincere IN
Germany that the country is fighting a
defensive war. That is certainly the ear
nest conviction of the French govern
ment and people, and Of the British
government and people. This being the
case, both sides are deeply concerned in
reaching such an agreement or such a
condition after the war that such aggres'
sions, such attacks whoever may wish
10 commit them-will be impossible.
Even supposing that the German govern
ment, or the house of Hohenzollern, de.
liberately planned and made the war, II
may be said to have had so much OF II
by this time as 10 be equally willing with
the British and the French to be as
sured by general European agreement
against future infraetions Of the peace.
II is not necessary to acquit the German
government of an absolutely bellicose in
tention through the years preceding the
fatal July of 1914 in order TO admit that
il may now be thoroughly desTous OF
Just such general assurance as the en-
tente powers undoubtedly wish to have
brought about. To this extent, there.
fore, peace conference representing all
the belligerent powers would be, Tor
time, on common ground
But the great and vital difficulty would
come when specific points of the great
bargain came up for settlement. Two
men may be quite willing TO trade, but
their IDEAS of prices may be so far apart
that they cannot possibly negotiate. I'm
fortunately governments never conduct
their relations with one another on abb
straet principles. Within their own do
mains they may be as abstract, as broad
ly benevolent as ii is possible for the
mind OF man to conceive, but il has thus
far been impossible to carry this basis
OF action into international proceedings.

as II someone had spoken them. He
sat up in his cot, trembling with fear

drew his head down to a warm breast.

STRICT RULES FOR STUDENTS
Sabbath Observance at Harvard Cen
turtles Ago Was Severe, According
to the Modern Idea.

In "The Story of Harvard" Mr.. Ar
thur Stanwood Pier gives an account
of the strict regulations formerly set
down for the guidance Of the Harvard
undergraduates by the president and
the fellows of the corporation. The
old laws, intended to enforce upon the
undergraduates q more religious and
studious life, would be considered re-
pressive and tyrannical today.
"All the scholars shall. at sunset in
the evening preceding the Lords day,
retire to their chambers and not I'M
necessarily leave them; and all dis
order on said evening shall be pun
ished as violations of the Sabbath are
And whatsoever shall profane
said day-the Sabbath-by unneces-
sary business or visiting, walking in
the commons or in the streets or fields,
in the town of Cambridge, or by any
sort OF diversion before sunset, or
that in the evening of the Lords day
shall behave himself disorderly, or in
any way unbecoming the season, shall
be fined not exceeding ten shillings.
THAT students may furnish them
selves with useful learning, they shall
keep in their respective chambers, and
diligently follow their studies, except
half an hour at breakfast; at dinner
for from twelve to two; and after eve.
ming prayers till after nine of the
clock. To that end the tutors shall fire..
quently visit their chambers after nine
o'clock in the evening and at other
studying times, to quicken them to
their business"
It does not seem that under such q
system OF vigilance and visitation the
students could fall into very dissolute
ways. But a few years later George
Whitefield, the famous evangelist who
so stirred up New England, visited
Harvard college, and expressed his dis.
pleasure at the dissipated habits OF
the young men. He declared conditions
at Oxford were no worse-a charge Sc

incensed the college authorities
