roo PROUD TO FIGHT

Since the controversy of the United
States with Germany over submarine
warfare we frequently hear vigorous
demands by our red-blooded citizens
for war with the Teutons. Moreover,
these patriots desire that we should
take the first step toward war
one of the latest requests for quar-
rel was voiced by Josiah Royce, pro-
f.ssor of philosophy al Harvard. at a
mass meeting in Boston. The follow
ing sentence shows the bitterness oi
his demand: Let us do what We can
10 bring about "A rupture of all diplo-
matte relations between our own re
uublic and those foes OF mankind. and
let us fearlessly await whatever dan
ger This, our duty as Americans. may
entail upon our land and upon our
prosperity
Although strong pro-ally feeling was
displayed at the meeting by vigorous
demands and fiery protests, neverthe-
less, the resolution that was finally
adopted was a mere generality COM
pared with the professors specific de-
mand.
The country is nOJ united in sympa-
thy for the belligerents. But the mo-
ment a specific casus belli is passion
ately urged by a defender of inter
national rights, the voice of the Ameri-
can people is reflected. We are tired
of the European blOOdshed. and do
not deem il wise. at the present time,
To yindicate our neutral rights by
more blOOdshed.
The patriotic sign of The times in
America is: We are too proud to
fight.

General Sporting Notes.

According to past performances SYRIA
cuse and Dartmouth are the only col
lege teams with ghost of a chance Of
beating Cornell in the intercollegiate
cross country run. Cornell beat Harvard,
which beat Yale. which beat Princeton,
Syracuse and Dartmouth ran close
race, both winning over Pennsylvania.
This accounts for about all of them ex-
cept NJ. /. T.
Benny Kauff did not put all his time
in at swinging at bad balls last season.
He drew SO bases on balls throughout
the year, which is very remarkable
record for any one with the reputation
that Kauff had for swinging at the poor
ones.
A good deal of arguing is going on in
some of the college football camps just
now, as to whether or not the multiple
kick can be used in football. There is
a marked difference of opinion, as few
of the most prominent coaches in col.
lege circles to-day are not in favor of
the play, while Walter Camp, the Yale
football strstegist, is very much in ia
vor of the method Haughton, Rush and
Sharpe say that it takes away the spir-
it of the game, while Camp says that he
cannot see why it should in any way.
The first time that it was used in any
prominent contest was between Brown
and Rutgers Rutgers originating the
kick. The ball is snapped to the quar-
terback, who snaps it to the two half
backs, who hold it few inches from
the ground for the fullback to kick.

Common Clay is the widely heralded
American drama by Cloves Kinkead. Its

in the direst poverty She rebels at the
sordidness and misery Of her surround
ings As a servant she comes into a
home OF wealth. Here she comes into
conflict with circumstance as menacing
as poverty. How life betrayed her and
how in a sudden and amazing turn her

THE PRESIDENT
DESIGNATES NOV. 80
AS THANKSGIVING
Nations Head Issues Formal Proclama-
ton for the Holiday, at Wash
ingtOn.

Washington, Nov. lS,-President Will
son yesterday formally by proclamation
designated Thursday, Nov. 80, as Thanks
giving day.
Here follows the presidents proclama-
ton:
at has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn Of
the year in praise and Thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many blessings
and merces to us and the nation The
year that has elapsed since we last OBJ
served our day Of thanksgiving has been
rich in blessings to us, as a people, but
the whole world has been darkened by
war In the midst OF our peace and
happiness, our thoughts dwelt with pain
full disquiet upon the struggles and suf-
terngs of the nations at war and of the
peoples upon whom war has brought dis
astcr without choice or possibility OF
escape on their part. We cannot think
of our own happiness without thinking
of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of Amer
lea, do appoint Thursday, the 30th of
November, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer, and urge and advise
the people to resort to their several
places OF worship on that day TO render
thanks to Almighty God for the blessings
of peace and unbroken prosperity which
He has bestowed upon our beloved coun-
try in such unstinted measure.
"And | also urge and suggest our duty
in this our day of peace and abundance,
to think in deep sympathy of the strick
en- peoples of the world upon whom the
curse and terror OF war has so pitilessly
fallen and to contribute out of our album
dant means to the relief OF their suffer
ings
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than by
out of their abundance to
the relief OF the suffering which war has
brought in its train.
"In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
nth day of November. in the year of our
Lord 1916 and of the independence of the
United States the l4lst.

SWEATED CITRUS FRUIT.
How Unripe Fruit is Made to Appear as
If Ripe.

The officials in charge of the enforce
ment of the food and drug act state
they will be guided by the position of
the department, previously announced,
to the effect that the shipment in inter
state commerce of immature oranges and
grapefruit which are sweatcd either be-
fore shipment or en- route is u violation
of the act when the sweating conceals
inferiority by making unripe fruit APP
pear TO be ripe. The sweating process
turns the green color Of the unripe fruit
TO yellow, and fruit SO treated has the
appearance of being ripe. However, ex-
tensive Investigations by the depart
ment have shown that the sweating pro.
cess does not ripen the immature fruit.
One of the tests to determine whether
or not an orange is mature is the So
called eight to-one test. This test is
based on the ratio OF the soluble solids
to the acid contained in the juice of the
orange. The soluble solids increase as
the oranges ripen, while the acid de-
creases. The oranges are considered inn
mature until the juice contains soluble
solids equal to, or in excess of, eight
parts to each of acid contained in the
Juice. The amount of soluble solids in
orange juice is about equivalent TO the
amount of sugar it contains. The ratio
Of the sugar TO the acid in the Juice de-
termines the sweetness of the orange. In
the case of grapefruit, maturity is in
dicated by ratio of seven parts of solu.
BILE solids in the juice to one part of
acid.

GERMANS NEED FOOD.
Uncensored Letter Tells of Sorry Condi-
lions in Dresden.

Pictures of the most deplorable con
ditions in Germany, describing state
of affairs where the populace is fairly
struggling for enough to east, have been
received by Mrs. Hiram Walker of Bur
lington from her sister, who is the moth
err OF an American official at Dresden.
The sister resides in Dresden with her
son, and by reason of their official posi-
ton their mail must come through I'M
censored. According to the contents of
the letter, conditions, heretofore unmag
ined generally i'll America, owing to the
strict censorship, are here truly repre-
scented, and tell sorry tale that lends
substance to the many peace rumors.
"The only subject discussed here is the
great trouble in getting food--the war
lis secondary consideration" declares
the letter. Hotels and restaurants are
flled-by the wealthy, for only they
can afford to live, and even then not at
home, because of the scarcity of food,
and the great difficulty in getting it. In
Berlin when one walks down Inter den
Linden, there is to be seen no more of
that gaiety, which was formerly equalled
only in the Champs Elyses of Paris. In
stead, the faces one sees are those of
gaunt, i'll fed, half-starved persons, with
hunger crying looks. Street urchins and
gamins are seen begging everywhere, for
whatf Food, Food, Food Baker carts
rarely go out after dark for fear OF be-
ing plundered. Here and there small
restaurants and cafes have temporarily
closed, because foods can not be OBJ
tanned. Little thought is taken OF the
war. Everywhere is the cry for bread.
The letter, in partf is as follows:
"If you kept house here in Dresden
you would have different cards for differ
ent thing, and these things are to be
bought on certain days The following is
what each one gets with each ones
card;
Meat and chicken, one fourth pound a
week.
Butter, one-eighth pound every two
weeks.
Margarine, ne-eighth pound every two
weeks.
Bread, oil and flour, with cards.
Eggs, one week.
Coffee, one half pound month and
none to be had.
Tea, one-half pound month
Sugar onehalf pound month.
"No marmalade or vegetables sold in
jars or cans, and no more canned meat. |
Hotels and restaurants are serving pref /
ty good meals Many families with plen-
" of money can not buy enough food,
20 they take their meals at hotels and 7
restaurants. There are plenty OF apples,
,ream and cheese, the latter coming from
Denmark. When you were here we had T
10 passports and now we cannot go out I

One on the Lawyer.

There are some legal questions that a
witness cannot answer by simple YES or
no. and a brow beating lawyer will some
times take advantage of this fact One
of this class was once demanding that
witness answer TO certain question either
in the negative or affirmative.
81 cannot do it, said the witness
"There are some questions that cannot
be answered by yes or mo- as any
one knows"
Il defy you to give an example to the
court" Numbered the lawyer.
The retort came in a flash; Are you
still beating your wife =
A siekly grin spread over the lawyers
face and he sat down.
