Definite concentrations.

The section makes the following
definite recommendations:
/. That each college induce its
students to continue college at
least until the age OF consumption,
and beyond this age until drawn
for active service.
9. The college should as far as
possible make ARRANGEMENTS ON
their own initiative for military
drill for all physically able stu
dents. 1t Is hoped that a way may
be found later for formal recogni-
ton OF this training by the war
department.
g. They should establish courses
in military science and tactics
with credit as a part OF the cur
riculum.
1t is the feeling that it will he
wholesome to continue inter collegia t.
athletics, insofar as they do not inter
fere with preparation for national serv-
ice.
It is possible that a few men ma,
be obtained from Canada to aid If

should he dissuaded from enlisting.
Important extension work is now being
done by the universities in this regard.
They are also doing important service
in re-educating the wounded men re-
turned from the front. The Canadian
universities have gained the complete
confidence and respect of legislative
and administrative officials by doing
the best work in training and making
themselves the chief centers of pa
triotic life in the country. but the uni
versities themselves took the initiative
in this matter. They have been en-
rhasizing the spiritual and ideal values
OF the war. Even the school children
are learning to identify the flag with
sacrifice and service. News letters
from the universities to their men who
are in active service have been found
most useful. College men have been
found of far more value in artillery and
engineer corps and in aviation than in
the infantry.

TT is with regard to these same

months ago were filled with the news
of large governmental purchases of

the government was able to secure

The BarOns Are All On
Hand Settling Things In
Interest of the BarOnS

The racket in official circles az Wash
ington over coal strongly indicates that
there's something fundamentally wrong
in the war management
Fuel is quite as important a matter
as food and it is imperative that the
policy of handling coal should be set
tied at the earliest possible moment.
Yet we have the president. Secretary
Baker and the federal trade commission
united on one policy and hotly opposed
by Secretary Lane and the nice bunch
of coal operators who make up the ma
jority of the coal committee OF the ad-
visory council Of national defense. the
latter backed by the railroad bankers
and the steel trust crowd.
1t is beautiful to contemplate that, in
the hour Of national peril, coal barons
have rushed to Washington to gratui-
tously serve as coal advisors, and lum-
Der barons to serve as lumber advisors
and railroad magnates to serve ss trans
portation advisors, and steel trusts TO do
likewise by steel, and copper kings to do
likewise by copper, and so on thru the
whole list of things that the government
has got to buy, but popular suspicion
that private interests will finally taint
the advice rendered is bound to arise.
