III we turn to Germany we find that
more than eighty-one per cent. Of the
6'" native male students are in the
military service. Figures are not at
hand to indicate the number Of Ger
man students who have been killed dur
ing the war. but It goes without saying
that the colleges of the Fatherland have
contributed their full quota TO the num-
her of slain.
Manifesty, the hgures OF Cambridge
applied TO all the other universities and
coueges in the various countries engaged
IN the present European conflict on one
side or the other indicate terrible
sacrifice of the very flower OF European
manhood in the path Of the juggernaut
OF war. to say nothing Of the still
greater host Of youth outside Of college
halls, who have given all for their coun-
try. Verify, this war is forcing youth
TO pay fearful penalty at the uitin,at g
cost OF the whole human race.

She went undraped without single fear

Twas only when she'd eaten Of the arple
That she became inclined to he n prude,
And found that evermore she'd have to

With the much debated problem of the

Thereafter she devoted her attention.
Her time and all her money to her

And that was the beginning Of Conven-

We do not believe Vermont will send
delegates who are avowedly for Weeks

republican situation demand the nomina

Justice Hughes. You can not conceive
OF the same set Of republicans support

take in helping to shape the destinies
OF the party Alright in 1915. as in 1883
and 1896, men who are named for a
place on the delegation should say where
they stand
Various leading Vermont republicans
who have been discussed as possible
delegates TO the republican national con-
venton have already told where they
stood, not as candidates for place on the

/ Ex-Governor g. II. Prouty sets a good
example by stating that he is for Justice

A ROOSEVELT MOVEMENT IN MAS
SACHUSE1vCs

Like European war BONN from a
chusetts, both at home and in Washing
ton came the announcement Saturday
that right on the heels of Colonel Roose-
velts departure for the West Indies four
Of the leading citizens Of the Bay State
had announced their candidacy for the
position OF delegates AT large to the re-
publican national convention as advocates
Of Roosevelts nomination for the presi-
dency.
This movement was incubated in WASH
ington, or at least the chicken broke
from the shell in the national capital.
The candidates are Congressman Angus
tus p. Gardner. former Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Grafton d. Cushing, Charles Sum-
ner Bird, former progressive candidate
for governor. and State Senator Robert
NJ. Washburn, and the announcement
| followed conferences between the first
two parties of the first part The

didates is brief and to the point. They
! say:
1--WE are candidates for delegates-at-
large from Massa chusetts to the repub-
lican national convention
I'VE are tired OF vague statements and
beating about the bush.
We propose TO go straight to the
point and give everyone chance to
know for what he is voting IN the pri-
maries.
I'VE do not want to go unpledged.
We do not want convention set up for
dark horses
I'VE want Roosevelt for President"
Senator Washburn says: 81 do no.
