move France from the list Of the
great nations Of the world, and IN
- far as calculated brutality and
unrestrained destruction could ac-
complish this it has been done. To
make peace now, save on terms that
will close the northern entrance to
France. restore the populations torn
from France in the last struggle,
free the next generation Of French
men from the perils Of the present
this would be for most French men
ard women alike TO sign the death
warrant of their country.
/ know no way of describing this
present mood Of France 10 an Ameri-
can audience, so removed from the
facts OF the war as it affects France.
After q year, returning TO France |
found a change that is beyond words,
the change that one more year Of
disappointment, of suffering, had
brought. No one can be in France
now and not feel the strain.
And yet it is not sentiment for
peace that one feels; it is not a
weakening of resolution or determi-
nation. / should say that in that
wonderful way in which the whole
people of France seize upon the main
fact there had been a grasping Of the
true meaning Of the war for France.
You feel in that country, whether in
Paris or out of it, the sense Of a
great nation and a great people at
grips with the cruellest and most
terrible destiny that any generation
of any nation has had to face; you
feel that almost subconsciously these
French men and French women are
dealing with what may be the ques-
ton of ultimate extinction.

Prices Bring Increases
In Columbia Budget

The annual budget for the maintenance
and operation of Columbia University
was adopted at the meeting of the board
Of trustees yesterday. 1t calls for an
expenditure Of S3.S49,4Sb for the fiscal
wear beginning July /, 1917, and end
ing June 80, 1918. Separate appropria-
tons of sl56,449 for Barnard College,
SS7s.975 for Teachers College and s46,-
6ls for the College Of Pharmacy were
also made.
Donations Of s2l,77j were reported.
The East River Homes Foundation
gave $4,000 for work in tuberculosis
at the Vanderbilt Clinic.
The budget contains special pro-
visions for certain necessary improve
ments in physical equipment, partly in
the various research laboratories and
at the medical school. The appropria-
ton for the care ana maintenance OF
the buildings and grounds of the uni
yersity shows a large increase, due to
the advance in wages and in the cost
Of supplies. Wages have been advanced
from - TO % per cent, and the cost Of
supplies has gone up from IA TO as high
as III per cent.
The annual deficiency for the year
ending June 80. 1918. is estimated at

French Want to Live,
But Prussianism Must Die

| wish | had the power to make
comprehensive this French state Of
mind. 1t is not one of anger. it is
not one Of passion. The impressive
thing one feels on all sides is the
calm, stoical manner in which all
French men and French women are
facing their fate A million OF dead
has been the casualty list; the ruin
in France extends with each swing
of the trench war back and forth;
youth has been swept away, middle
age is fighting with extreme youth;
not that men are lacking; there are
still sufficient men, for the French
loss is not as great proportionately
as the German, but the agony of the
war is beyond words, whether one
sees only the faces of the people in
Paris or goes out into the provinces.
or 20 out into the provinces.
But long before President Wilson
experimental with peace, before the
Germans made their derisory gest-
IRE, the French, like the British. had
taken account of stock; they had
made the great decision which our
own fathers made in 1864 and ex-
pressed in the reelection Of Lincoln.
Their decision was based on a single
thing: the belief, the conviction, that
no peace could endure so long as
Germany held to her policies and
purposes as proclaimed by her states
men and practised by her soldiers.
No one can say too much on the
subject Of the hatred of war as il
exists among those who are fighting.
They loathe it with all the loathing
that men can have for something
that is ineffably loathsome and in
expressibly stupid, a thing without
one single circumstance OF beauty or
of charm, save as it leads to the
disclosure Of the wonderful things
within man, which shine forth only
il hours Of supreme sacrifice.

lin the working model of. new
Machine gun, George H. Garrison of
seattle, formerly of Olympia, leaves
lere in few days for the east,
where he will at once embody his
plans in a gun using regulation army
ammunition. He has worked out his
plans on .25 caliber gun. Garrison
who has been in Olympia for the
last three months finishing his mo-
del, already has several patents on
gun devices which pay him SUBJ
stantial royalties. His new gun is
protected by patents.
None of the principles used in
other machine guns are employed
by Garrison. The details of the
Garrison Gun are now military sec

Automobile owners who fail to fam

last legislature may find themselves
in sad predicament after June g.,
when the laws which did not carry
an emergency, go into effect. Two
laws, in particular, which carry a

House bill No. 211 is the act which
makes it misdemeanor to deface,
