SERIES OF CONFERENCES
UNITED Press Leased Wire..

WASHINGTON, D. c., April II.
"A series of war conference"
will be held from time to time be-
tween the United States govern
ment and representatives of the
entente allies, both in this coun-
try and abroad, 1t was learned to-
day. These will have to do with
initial cooperation between Eng
land, France and the United States
toward safeguarding shipments of
foodstuffs and other supplies to
entente ports.
AS the war proceeds the con-
ferences will take an even broader
scope, providing means of physi-
cal cooperation on a large scale,
1t is believed.

1t is not within the province of free
or fair discussion for this scribe to
often prediction ais to what the Board
OF Control may or may not do for the
veal or woe Of advanced education
IN this state. Three of it's members
are OF such recent appointment that
they have had no chance to show their
quality. Who can tell what men
WILL do by what they HAVE done?
Observe the tanner of the armies Of
the United States in the Civil War,
and the cobbler leading the victorious
divisions of Napoleon! But it is en-
tirely pertinent and admissible for
amy one, be he ever so humble, to air
his notions on what the Board of

that this is the time for The Post

therefore now give thanks that the

too much learning nor fettered by
customs and tradition, but. by can
tact with their fellows able to see
things IS they are, with minds open
to amy leaven that may Tighten the
loaf they are called on to prepare.
Thee is one thing that the Board
of Control COULD do, which would
be all it need EVER do, for after the
start was made for it would simply
be a question of keeping on to bring
the University, the College end the
Negro Industrial School to their great
est usefulness. Let the Board extend

now oDclating in Agriculture, to all

Simple, isn't it? But, like most sim
