DR.. Cornelius Patton, of Boston, son OF
DIR. William Patton, former president OF
Howard University, closed the semi
centennial exercises with a sermon al
the Sunday vespers yesterday.
His subject was Inspiration and Con.
secration," and he referred to the group
of men and women who had made great
sacrifices in the early history Of the uni.
versity.

prayer meeting by three generals of the
civil war, Howard, Whittlesey and Bal.

''They believed that education depends
upon character and that the chief element
of character is God"

ments of the world were the results OF
wars and that Howard University was
the direct result of the civil war. He
concluded with the hope that the present

way from the Lone Star State to see that
President Wilson Is inaugurated properly
and peacefully. He arrived Saturday
night and Is stopping at the Bellebue Ho-

You don't know BILL" the fellow who.
according to q statement Of his friend,
President Wilson. has worn Q brace OF
forty y-hves 30 long that the front Of his
abdomen has shaped itself into sort OF
pockets into which the artillery readily
slips?
"Bilr' is. just plain BILL" ready for
all comers. and so handy with his guns
that he was selected to guard President
Wilson from the time Of his election un-
til the time that he was inaugurated the
last time.

at large. although he regards the Lone
Star State as the only place where q
man can get good breath of air In his
lungs. He Is marshal of North Texas,
and ts the man who Is hailed as leader OF
the famous Texas Rangers.

of police. last night over the telephons

vite him to come to the roll can of "cop-
pers this morning In the board room of
the District Building.
Sure I will be there" said Bill.
And he will be here" said Maj. Pull
man.
That Bill has an aversion to being
killed in an accident IS born out by a
little story that President Wilson tells
on his friend.
According to the Chief Executive one
day while his party were riding through
the country. they came to a rough spot
In the road, 'and every one bounced SO
high In the seat that the heads struck
the top Of the conveyance. Bill was hit
right hard" according to his statement
and was rubbing his face when he re-
marked:
'I don't like this much. II would be
H to be killed in an accident"
Bill will be on duty where he plesses
and when he pleases. and the place that
he will choose will be as close to the
President as he can get

Look back at your childhood days. Re-
member the dose mother insisted on
castor oil, calomel, cathartics? How you
hated them: how you fought against
taking them!
With your children it's different. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of physic
simply don't realize what they do. The
children's revolt is well founded. Their
tender little ''insides'' are injured by
them.
If your child's stomach, liver, and bow
els need clea nsing, give only delicious
California Syrup of Figs" Its action
Is positive. but gentle. Millions Of moth
ers keep this harmless fruit laxative
handy. They know children love to take
It; that 1t never fails to clean the liver
and bowels and sweeten- the stomach
and that teaspoonful given today saves
a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 5o-cent bottle
Of California Syrup OF Figs" which has
Iun directions for babies, children Of all
ages. and for grown-ups plainly on each
bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold

The first battle OF this war was moi
fought on the Belgian front: not In
Alsace-Lorraine, but in Palestine.
1t was bloodless battle, but 1t reg.
istered the first defeat for Germany
in its campaign to Teutonize the
world. Seemingly 1t was merely a
contest for supremacy between two
languages-German or Hebrew-in
Palestine, and those who fought the
fight for Hebrew were not aware OF
the imperial ambitions that led to the
conflict.
Nor did the Jews of the world, who
looked on and marveled at the .devo-
ton of the colonists of the Holy Land
their children, and the devoted teach
ers who preferred starvation to the
substitution of German for the holy
language understand that in this
| fight was involved the great plan for
which Germany had been preparing
for over 40 years.
The chief representative In Pales-
tine Of German .Jewry was the Hilfs-
verein der Deutschen Juden, which
has established numerous education
al institutions in Palestine. The
Hilfsverein is not Zionist body, but
a philanthropic association OF Ger
man Jews. Cnder the influence OF
Zionist suggestion and of the atmos-
pl.ere OF Jewish life in Palestine, the
Hllfsverein was induced, for a time.
to cultivate Thoroughly Jewish type
Of education in its palestine schools.

free from foreign influence. There
fore the Hilfsverein early emphasiz-
ed the necessity of using Hebrew as
much as possible in the schools, MAX
ing 1t the children's mother tongue.
But gradually a change came. The
directors-chief among whom. was
DR. Paul Nathan, since decorated by
the kaiser-were slowly undermining
the position of the Hebrew. irtroduc.
ing German as the language of in
struction, and giving what the Jew
ish settlers had come to Palestine to
avoid; a non-Jewish view of life and
trend of thought.
The first criticisms of the new ten
dency of the Hilfs*erein date from
August, 1912. when general meet
Ing of teachers from all parts of Pal
estine was held. That meeting adopt
ed the following resolutions:
This meeting considers it the.duty

Dissatisfaction with the Hilfsve-
rein's methods thus was obvious long
before the open breach occurred;
caused by the opening Of the tech
nical school at Haifa. to be the nu-
cleus Of Jewish Technical Uniyer-
|sity.
Money for this institution had
come from all parts of the world,
chiefly from Russia and America. The
chief executive power happened to
be vested in the Helfverein in Berlin.
The Executive Committee had
come to no conclusion as to whether
German or Hebrew should BIO the
language Of instruction. The ques-
ton was definitely raised on Oct. 26,
1913, when three advocates OF the
Hebrew revival resigned from the
committee owing to their inability to
endorse the program of technical in
struction in German.
The news OF the reason for the sec,
ession Of the three members spread
like wildfire in Fhlestine. Every
where, in large centers like Haifa.
Jaffa and Jerusalem, as well as in
the small Jewish colonies, meetings
were held to protest against the pro.
ceedtngs OF the committee. From
Haifa resolution was sent to the
committee in Berlin, stating: "(1) We
the inhabitants of Palestine. are of
opinion that both from national and
from a practical point of view, only
a school in which Hebrew is the chief
language can claim to have any raj.

In Jerusalem the pupils of the Hill

School, boys near enough to manhood
to understand what was happening.
sent a statement Of their ideas and
demands, written in Hebrew, to the
directors Of the schools. The follow.
ing demands were made:
I'D The German language shall be
freed from its connection with gen.

harm to both. German to be taught
as a European language.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Austro.
Hungarian subjects in the United
States. most of-the million or more Of
whom are laborers and are loyal to the
Allied war cause. will suffer few re-
strictions as a result OF war between
the lands OF their birth and adoption.
In . proclamation declaring state
Of war with Austria. Hungary in &C
scordance with the act of Congress,
President Wilson specified that unnat-
uraiied Austro-H ungarians unlike the
Germans IN this country. should be free
to live and travel anywhere, except
that they may not enter or leave the
United States without permission. and
those suspected OF enemy activity may
be interned They need not register

Germans will be required to do short

yard zones about piers, docks and ware
houses closed to Germans. and are not
required to leave the District of Co.
lumbia.
The Presidents motive In drawing
distinctions between Germans and
Austrians was described as two fold.
First, It was realized that the SYM
patty Of Hungarians, Rumanians,
Poles, Serbians, Czechs, Slovacs and
ether immigrants from the Austro-
Hungarian empire. generally is not
with the mother country in the war
and they have not been guilty Of the
mult.form campaign of violence prac-
, ticed under the German war system.
Secondly, such o proportion Of laborers

that 1T was found practically impossible
to administer against them the rigid
regulations imposed on tho Germans,
who are half as numerous and more
indiyidualistic.
The department of justice even aban.
dcned its former plans to register Aus
TRANS along with Germans because Of
the immensely Of the task and the ad.
ministration's determination to mini.
mize embarrassment to Austrians.
Thousands of whom have demonstrated
their loyalty to this country by enlist

AS an Indication of the Presidents
difference in feeling toward subjects
Of the. dual monarchy 1t was pointed
out that nowhere In the proclamation
did he use the phrase "alien enemies"
