something which no gentleman should
think of doing?
The psychology OF the splitter is pc
culiar. | have repeatedly seen men
standing on the edge of the pavement
take the trouble to deliberately turn
and spit ON the pavement instead of
into the going out of their
way, as it were, to do a dirty and dis
gusting thing which Injuries their
neighbors.
If the esthetic aspect were the only
one to consider-and surely this
should be enougf-there might be no
excuse for this letter, but if one thing
has been demonstrated more clearly
than another by scientific studies, it is
that many diseases are spread by the
secretions of the mouth, nose and
throat. Therefore, splitting is a dan
gerous habit and is responsible for the
spread of many diseases, particularly
those of the lungs and upper respira-
tory passages.
1t seems that the new library build
ing must be disfigured by signs re-
questing students not to spit on the
floor and radiators. Is it not a shame
that this beautiful building should be
marred by such signs, and a greater
shame that We are compelled by the
filthy habits of some students to de-
face it by putting up such signs?
| saw the following sign a short time
ago: 'If you spit on the floor of your
own house, spit on the floor here. We
want you to feel perfectly at home"
Will not the students take the lesson
in this to heart?
Will not each student constitute
himself a committee of one to keep the
library and other buildings free from
such uses? Will they not socially
ostracize other students who persist
in this filthy habit?

MAYBE THEY DON'T SERVE
PASTRY IN THE TRENCHES

Life in the trenches is anything but
pleasant, but think what joy it must
be after spending eight months some
where in France" lodging German
shells and gas bombs to spend four
days resting and eating-eating fancy
pastry.
That's the way the life of the Euro
pean soldier appeals to Thomas Cars
ley Price, a soldier in the English
army, who writes to his aunt, Mrs. A.
w. Taylor of Columbia, who is now in
a Des Moines. Ia, hospital. At the
time the letter was written this Tom
my Atkins was a corporal, but since
then he has been promoted-promoted
TO lieutenant, for keeping communi-
cation trench alive under fire Septem-
Der -, 1915, and for a brave deed done
in a battle near Verdun."
Lieutenant Price says he has a
good post open for him after the
war, but he has strong inclination
to see other countries. So he expects to
visit Columbia after the belligerent
nations lay down their arms. How
ever. he doesn't know when this will
be.
Il am quite well at present. writes

Lieutenant Price. 81 have been out
here about eight months now and
have been in the army eighteen
months; so you can bet | will be jolly
glad to get back to civil life once more
"We are not in the trenches now
came out last Sunday after having a
very hard time of it, for it commence
ed to snow the last few days we were
in and it is bad enough when the
weather is fine We had a hail storm
this afternoon while marching to an
other camp near the firing line, where
we are now. We can see the flashes
from the guns quite plainly now and
in few more days we shall be back
on the firing line. Worst luck, eh?
"The last four days have been the
jolliest | have had in France. Since
came out on this last rest myself
and a few friends have done nothing
but eat and eat. We very nearly made
ourselves i'll this morning eating fancy
pastry. The heavy march we took
didn't improve matters at all"

A CALL FOR SPANISH

That Spanish should be taught in
our schools is the new demand that
has emerged on account of the war
While the European nations are eX-
pending most of their resources in this
struggle for existence, the United
States is producing vast amounts of
the necessities of life. The South
American republics reluctantly send
to us for their wants, which before the
war they bought from Europe Such
shifting of trade centers naturally
brought Us closer to the feelings ana
ideals Of our neighbors. To keep and
increase our trade with those repub-
lies, several designs have been dis
cussed
But an elementary knowledge OF
Spanish, their chief language, seems to
be necessary if the United States ex-
poets to hold the new trade and un-
derstand the South American people.
The men interested in this union with
our neighbors think that our children
ought to be taught Spanish in school.
This would tend To mako our schoo,
system more practical for the one who
enters the business world.

THE PASSING OF THE ATTIC

With the approach of the building
season, many families are beginning to
draw plans and consult architects fol
the consummation of their dreams of
a new house. They scheme to utilize
every square inch of space. They equip
it with all the modern inconyeniences-
And when they hav- cleared up r.c
mess which the contractor left, it
seems perfect.
But there is something wrong with
these modern homes. You feel 1t,
rather than realize it. But just wait
until you start to put away that old
trunk or stow the blankets away for
the summer. Then you know what's
the matter. The attic is missing. In
place of the musty old garnet you
find a well-lighted roOm-maybe two
finished in white. Its dark mysteries
have vanished before the planterer's art
The builder has done his worst. You
look around in despair for place to
drop your load. a low doorway
greets you. You open it. Success!
Here is something unsmirched by the
progress of civilization.
All that remains of the glorious at
tic of old is a little space far back
under the rafters.
University and college men have
been accused of being ''lowbrows" and
all sorts of equally bad things. But
there is one thing you must give them
credit for. You seldom hear them
call Father. "the old man." and never
Mother, "the old woman"

Observation-Disclosures

You may obtain" says Ruskin, "a
more truthful idea of the nature of
Greek religion and legend from the
poems of Keats than from frigid schol-
arship, however extensive. Not that
the poets impressions or renderings
of things are wholly true, but their
truths are vital, not formal"
Writers who scorn to write in popu-
lar style should think long about this
statement of the English scholar. The
"highbrow" who condemns the manner
journalistic should bear it in mind.
Those who strain after the letter and
sacrifice the spirit may crafty their
own love of erudition, but they'll never
write masterpiece or reach tho needy
through the channels of best seller.
The dean of a great agricultural
college in the North recently admitted

Better Savitar Methods.

Editor the Missourian: The Univer-
sity of Missouri annual, The Savitar,
is going to be issued under better
management in the future. The plan
of the book now requires that no one
may be elected to position on the
staff who has not worked voluntarily
on the annual in his freshman and So
phomore years.
The result will be that the editor and
his followers, chosen from the junior
class, will be men who know what the
work is and how to go about it. This
plan will eliminate the political aspect.
Only the students who have shown
their willingness to work will be eligi

DETACHMENT of the Library Building.

Editor the MiSsourian: Will you not
the students of the University the
danger of the dirty and disgusting hab-
it of promiscuous splitting? / have to-
ady made an inspection of the new Ii
brary, beautiful building given by the
state for the use of the students pri-
marily and the citizens generally. /
was astonished and disgusted to find
the new marble staircase marred and
stained by daubs of spit on every
single step, particularly at the wall
ends. | believe that there was not one
single step from the basement to the
first floor on either side of the build
ing which was not so disfgured. The
radiators in this part of the building
seem to be the special object of the
spitter's spite or generosity, as they
have been literally bathed. In the
toilets where sinks are readily avail
able for splitting | found the same dis
gusting condition. Around the wash
basins, the radiators and the wall gen.
orally were liberal doses of spit,
oftentimes colored with tobacco.
That such a state of things could ex-
ist was an astonishment to me. How
any person can bring himself to deface
a new building finished in a beautiful
manner passes comprehension.
Splitting is not pleasant subject TO
talk about, but the sanitarian finds it
a necessary task.
One can not go into a public con-
veyance or public building Of any sort
in the United States without being
greeted with some sign or other, re-
questing men not to spit on the floor.
Why should We ask men not to do

DESTRUCTION OF NAVAL
 ARSENAL IN LISBON
ForetoId in Warning Letter Sent to
 the Government.


 Lisbon, Portugal, June 2.-Although the origin of the fire which destroyed the Naval Arsenal in Lisbon on April 19 is still undetermined, it is said that the fire was foretold several weeks be- fore it occurred in warning letter to the government, supposedly from Ger mans, threatening a long series of re- prisals if Portugal persisted in par ticipation in the war. It is also re- ported that the minister of war, Major Norton de Mattos, has been threat ened with death if he persisted in the inquiry as to the origin of the Arsenal fire or any similar disasters.
 The burning of the Arsenal was coincident with the sinking of the Norwegian steamship Terie Vixen as was briefly reported by cable. The vessel had had on board 65 900 tons of wheat from America. Her sinking in Cascae Bay, fifteen miles west of Lis bon, is the first indication of German submarine activity along the Portu- guese coast Advices had been re- eeived previously from London that a German submarine attack against the Portuguese coast might at attempted and Captain Leotin do Rego. com mander of the Portuguese Naval D9- vision anchored in the Tagus, re- gently learned of the presence Of two German submarines which are sup posed to have scattered mines in the neighborhOod of the Bar.

URGED RECONCILIATION
 OF CHINESE FACTIONS
Chinese Minister in London Working
 to Prevent Foreign Intervention.

Picking, June 22.-Alfred Sze, the Chinese minister in London, has wired to the foreign office urging that the north and south reconcile their diff ferences as soon as possible, in order to prevent foreign intervention. He advised the foreign office that the Jap aneSe ambassador in London is con- stantly seeking to get the British gov ernment to grant Japan a free hand in China, and that England has not given a formal answer, but will probably be i influenced by the conduct of the vari- sous factions in China.
 Liu Ching jen, the Chinese minis- ter to Russia, has wired to the for eign office regarding the conclusion of ] the reported Russo Japanese treaty the most important section of which is declared to relate to Chinese affairs.
 The minister says this treaty proba- ply will be signed in Petrograd in a short time. Although the terms of the treaty were not available in Petro- grad when the minister wired the pub l licatfon of the alleged text in Toldo
 has caused much uneasiness in China. The Japanese legation in Picking has iemphatically denied the Tolxio report l to the effect that Russia has agreed to give Japan a clear hand in maintain i ing peace In China, thus recognizing Japan's special privilege in China. l However, the Chinese press very gem Ierally credits the reports printed in l the Japanese newspapers, and mOmen- I tarily expects an announcement of the
 conclusion of the Russo-Japanese treaty.
 Chinese newspapers express the I opinion that Russia has been able to force other members of the Entente into an agreement to recognize Japan'e
 special position as director of F'aI
