INSISTS UNITED STATES
SHOULD FIGHT GERMANY
Princeton University President Sees
Lack of International Conscience"
in Failure to Join Allies.

NEW YORK. February 26.-John
Grier Hibben. president of Princeton
University. speaking in a church here
last night. criticised the United States
for what he termed it's lack of "interna-
tionai conscience" in failing to join the
entente allies against Germany, and
declared Americas entrance into the
war was solemn obligation
I'VE dismissed our German ambassa-
dor and we stand at the present time in
readiness to war with Germany, yet,
we, as a nation, are not prepared to go
to war with any country. European or
Asiatic, except perhaps one-China-
I'VE could make fair showing
against China. Why are we SO brave
now? Let us be. frank. There is only
one reason, and that is because We
know the great British fleet stands be-
tween us and Germany at the present
time.
Il am free to confess that America
as a nation has not risen to the appre-
citation of the obligation resting upon
it. What have we done for Belgium?
We have grown rich out of the misery
of that country. We have not the first
vestige of international conscience.
Il do not wish to see Germany
crushed, but I do wish that over this
ambition of a world empire which Ger
many has had for the past forty years
there should be written one word, and
that word is-failure!

SAYS AMERICAN SOLDIERS
VIOLATE CIVILIZED LAWS
Representative Galloway, Opposing
War at Boston Mass Meeting, Urges
Public to "Stand by Ourselves"

J BOSTON, February 26.-Opposing a
declaration of war against Germany.
Representative oscar Galloway of
Texas. at a mass meeting yesterday,
criticised the American soldier as a
violator of civilized laws.
THE army never acts in accordance
with law" he said. do you remember
Sherman's march to the sea when he
burned Atlanta and violated every law
of civilization? His answer to critics
was War is hell.'
IF we go into war now our soldiers
will act as they always have acted ever
since there were any soldiers. soldiers
are trained to Kill people.
Declaration of war against Germany,
he said. would be like a hanging
where every one in the mob wants TO
get a whack at the victim. or course,
he continued, "an injury has been DONE
but why not be as big nationally as m
dividually2"
Had we not better stand by our
selves than stand by the President?
the speaker asked. after stating that
the citizens would pay the costs OF war
in taxes president Wilson has reached
the end of his tether. and it is now up
to Congress to act. Let US give them
our opinion to help their decision.

Generosity Appreciated.

THE generosity of our friends in
Washington touches US. not only for
the comfort it brings to our wounded
men. but also as a mark of their deep
sympathy for France and the cause
she defends in this gigantic duel of
nations.
TT is consolng to see that the length
of the war has in no way dulled the
liberality of our friends.
We are very grateful to our bene-
factors in both worlds, but were it pos
sible to make a difference between our
generous friends in France and those
who are separated from us by the great
barrier of the ocean, our preference
would go 10 the latter. who, having
seen nothing of our sufferings, and
having only heard of our needs, have
sent us help. May they know that
their help and sympathy are very
precious to France in this hour OF
struggle for right and justice. a cause
that she will defend to the end. The
liberality and sympathy of our Amer
lean friends are bringing still closer
together-;he old ties of friendship that
for so long have united the French anG
merican hearts.
I'VE thank them again in our owr
names, in the name of our wounded
soldiers and in the name of France"

ed by our men who, in some cases. will

in their lives.
Are you preparing your children to take
their chances among these millions7 Are
you giving your boy or girl the educational

School training is not sufficient. Life's
problems are not worked out through abstract
theories, but through broad knowledge
plus the ability to think and reason and do.
Give your children chance to acquire prac-
teal information on subjects connected with
real life.
Give them an opportunity to find out for
themselves what they are ambitious to do.
Remember, a childs natural inclination is a big
determining factor in successful career.
Therefore, you should own the new Encyclo-
paedia Britannica for the good your children
will derive from it. Nothing you may do for
them will go so far to keep them out Of the
"just ordinary" class of men and women
because Britannica training is insurance
against ignorance. 1t means knowledge, which
is the source of success in life.
Don't make the mistake Of thinking that the
Britannica isn't for children" It is-which
is further proof of the many-sidedness of this
marvellous library Of facts and information.
The Britannica is not ''Iuvenile'' litera-
ture, but 1t appeals to the interest and
imagination Of sctive-minded boys and
girls. 1t not only gratifies their curiosity
and answers their multitude Of questions.

If your children 60 to college, they will need
the Britannica. If you cannot send them to
college, then the Britannica will afford the
means of self-education at less than 1 /25 the
cost of a college education. It is doing this
very thing now for thousands.
Dr. Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard,
