BUILDING FUND INCREASES
Movement for New G. w. U. Law
School Nets $4,000.

The campaign for the raising OF
100000 for the erection of a law
school building for George Washing
ton University has netted so far $34.-
100, according to announcement by
Prof. William Van Week, secretary
of the law school and one of the lead
ers in the movement.
In the law school lobby in New
Masonic Temple are thirteen ther-
mometers on which are recorded the
subscriptions obtained from day to
day. The trustees thermometer, which
has a boiling point of $4,000, now
stands at $5.S25. The faculty's Their
mometer. which has a high mark OF
$4,000, now is at $685.. The class
thermometers, which have a boiling
point of $1,000 each, show the fol-
lowing progress: Glass of II, $500;

lines run within fourteen miles. The
intervening space lacks natural de-
lenses. Metz commands the way to
Alsace, by the northern ingress,
around the extremity of the Vosges
barrier. 1t also protects the flank of
the Germans in northern France. Its
loss would probably give the French
the two provinces they lost in 1870.
It might force a withdrawal of all
German forces in France west of the
Mouse. Under these conditions the
continual efforts of the crown prince
to better his position before the su-
premely important fortress are
readily understood. Undoubtedly a
strong party in the German councils
would even rather renew the often
sive against Verdun in an effort to
reduce the place and check the allies
in the west before attempting
against, Russia, Saloniki, or Italy the
blow that Verdun's menace renders
hazardous. The one certainty is
that, however other fronts may face,
an offensive of early date is appre-
hended, if not contemplated, by either
side.

MADE DETROIT APPRAISER
Senate Confirms Appointment of

Robert H. Clancy, secretary to As
sistant Secretary OF Commercs Ed
win F. Sweet, was confirmed by the
Senate last night for the position of
appraiser at Detroit. He will leave

days. His successor has not yet been

Congressman Doremus and being pro-
NOTED after two years to the position
in the Commerce Department He won
many friends among Congressman,
newspaper men and Commerce De-
partment officials and employees. In
Detroit he Is looked upon as one OF
the successful young men OF that
city.
The day after election, when Il was
apparent that President Wilson was
reelected, Clancy started a boom for
CONGRESSMAN Doremus for the Presi-
Dental nomination in 1920, a fayorite
son candidacy that took well in Michi-
gan, and has made quiet progress
in other quarters. Doremus was the
only national Democrat to be elected
in Michigan, and Is very popular in
Congress-, being chairman OF the
House and Senate Congressional cam
paign committee. and the recipient OF
other indications Of trust by his col
leagues.

Behind a very dignified department,
the president really hides a very
smiling face. He is fond OF good COM
partnership, he likes good stories, he
writes good limericks, he sings q
good tenor, he is a very human sort
OF man, and when he is out cam
paigning with his friends about him
his human side with all its charming
good fellowship shines out at its
best One OF the correspondents who
was with him IN his first campaign
Tor President said yesterday that "the
governor" kept his eyes wide open,
and was very much Interested in q

OF the great newspapers in its rep

a handy reporter at his side: that's
how Johanssen looks" The next

watching Of q game OF setback, or

The Complete Crouch.

When I consider all the ways
Noise can assail the ear
In early moSp, or holidays.
When sleep Is doubly DEAR
I marvel deaf men are inclined
To think that Fate has been unkind,
When / consider all the sights
One pair OF eyes must see
In journeying through the days and
nights
OF half a century,
Blind people, then, I pity not:
But envy them their happy lot
When I consider baby's nose.
And think what It must bear
As down lifs's corridors It goes,
Shifting the odors there,
I wonder that the Darwin plan
Has not evolved the noseless man.
But when / think what ills malign
Might come to all alive,
Had nature given us senses nine
Instead Of only five,
Oh. then almost content I grow
To live another week or so.

A WASHINGTON MEMORIAL

With 6 site already donated by
Congress and $300,O00 raised toward
the erection of a George Washing
ton Memorial Building in the Capt.
tai, Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, president
of the George Washington Memorial
Association, has launched a cam
paign to raise 100000 more by
February %. This will give the
association an even million dollars
to start work upon the structure.
1t is recalled that George Wash
ington left, in his will, a sum of
5000 as a cornerstone for a fund
for such a building. That fact not
only is of sentimental interest in
connection with the sort of a mem
orial he would have wished, but it is
of special interest to Washington
ians as exhibiting his rare faith in
the future of city he was set down
in a wilderness and swamp to build,
without a cent of appropriations to-
ward the making of a National
Capital
Though the project now fostered
by the memorial association is es-
sentially a national affair, this city
has a peculiar interest in il. One
feature, the auditorium seating 5000
or 10000 persons. is designed to full
fill an urgent need of the Capital.
Such an auditorium would mean
much, in the artistic development of
Washington, and even more in de-
veloping it as an ideal convention

"REAcE WITHOUT VICTORY"

Germany began the war in high
handed fashion, with no explana-
tons or apologies to offer, and, boil
stored by a perverted philosophy Of
might as the index finger of right,
set out ruthlessly to find her place
under the sun.
When she awoke to the surprise
, that other nations were willing to
fight for principles, and back up
treaty obligations with shrapnel, and
she sustained the shock of an inter
rupted progress toward her Christ
mas dinner in Paris, she developed
principles which her vbtaries in other
lands, with curious inconsistencies
and Emergencies, endea vored to ex-
plain to a skeptical world.
President Wilson's suggestion OF
peace received from Great Britain
the reply that was to be expected,
on the basis of the principles by
which she and her allies have firmly
stood since the outset of the war. His
proposal of a peace without VIC
tory" is to be supinely accepted by
Germany and her allied powers, re-
ports from Berlin state, just as any
suggestion to stop the war seems
now to find a willing ear.
What has become of Germany's
divine right to find her solar breath
ing space? What has become of the
principles she later professed? Can't
kultur and ideals together prompt
her.to fight to finish if she really
believes what she processes?

BLASPHEMY AGAINST KULTUR

A tragic story comes from Berlin
Of the food swindling enterprise and
success of one Frau Kupfer, who
arrived in Berlin from Leipsic early
in the war with 400 marks in her
treasury. She bought a little arti-
fetal honey and sold it at a large
profit; kept on making money until
she had 10000 marks with which she
regularly went into the provision
business. She is said to have had
beguiling personality, and she was
able to organize a ten-million-mark
concern, which paid unbelievable
dividends, and thus kept its stock
holders contented and happy.
The capable (if wicked) Frau Kup-
fer forged contracts for army food,
according to the correspondent, and
as her business grew she set up
smuggling concern; her headquarters
in Berlin were always filled with
food which she disposed of at fantas-
tic prices to rich Berliners, who liked
to spend their money with Frau
Kupfer as well as. some rich New
Workers like to spend their money in
the flash restaurants of that town.
Within a few weeks the lady be-
gan to try to capitalize some of her
great resources, and when it came to
accommodating real money the police
caught her; she is said to have swim
died "Berlin's first citizens" to the
tune of millions of marks. 1t is also
interesting to note that in her cap
ture by the police the government
gets its hands on alfthe actual ready
cash she possessed. This process
has been going on among all classes
in Germany for a long time, until
row the government is in possession
of whatever gold can be kept in the
country, while the Kaiser's subjects,
citizens, supermen, or whatever the
right word may be, get along nicely
on government paper for all their
daily transactions.
But a bdS these filthy economic de-
tails; let as regard with horror such
an ethical sin, such blasphemy

West Virginia, even IL she will not
pay her debts when the Supreme
Court says she ought to, has been
leading in reformatory measures.
Two years ago she adopted State
wide prohibition, and the official re-
ports show that she paid over $1,000
900 last year in internal revenue
taxes, and occasional visitors from
that state say that there is no scar
city OF intoxicating beverages. A
bill has been introduced in the State
legislature prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes under heavy penalties: but

own in defiance OF the law. Next
