With the French War Mission. May 9.-The voice of the middle west, united as never before, has spoken to Frances war mission, a message of defiance to Germany and her allies. It was unanimous message of the great industrial, agricultural and fi- nancial millions of the vast Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio valleys that their entire resources stand behind Pres ident Wilson and the nation in the fight for liberty, freedom and human ity as the ally of Americas sister re- public, France, and her companion nations in the world war.
 Even in the cities where the Ger mans and Austrians are a large part or the inhabitants, and especially in St. Louis. where half the population IS Of German descent or German born, the earnestness of the pledges givep was revelation.
 Having thus received, to carry back to France, the middle vests message. the French commissioners today are speeding toward Philadelphia. New York and Boston where they will be given the message of the great indus trial east and it's vast munitions and other works.
 Representatives of Frances gov crnnent. army and navy, Rene .vivi- ami. vice president of the council of ministers: General Joffre, marshal of France; Vive-Admiral Chocheprat of the navy, Marquis de Chambrun. great grandson of LaFayette; and Emil Hovelaque, inspector general of pub lie education, have paid homage to the great Americans.

 M. viviani said of the trip:
 "We have been surprised and de- lighted at our generous welcome in the middle west. We realize that the west and middle west is the gran ary. not only of the United Sites but of the whole world. almost. Tho un- limited part that territory could play iEt the pianting of larxer crops might win the war. After seeing the splen- did men, women and children of the middle west we feel no uneasiness about what they willSdo in this war;
 Marshal Joffre said:
 "T'he absolutely unanimous en- tkusiasm manifested everywhere shows that the people of the United States fully realize the immensity of the task that lies before them and that they are preparing for it in the same great and earnest spirit that. early in the war. the citizens and peasants of France did.
 ''On my return to France I shall bear away not only the p1easantest of most encouraging sights but an assurance for my soldiers and the allies that cannot but raise their spirits. They shall know from me that not only are the inn n,ense resources of America pledged to the cause of civilization. but that Americans are with them in spirit as we'll.
 Similar sentiment were expressed by vice-Admiral Chocheprat, MT. and the Marquis de Cham brun.

of this college, to which his heart was
 bound by rare devotion, was all too
 brief. But what clearer proof of his educational genius could be given the life of the college. attained within the brief span of two years. From many quarters the suggestion is made that there shall be reared on this campus a memorial to it's first presi- dent. This would be most fitting. But his memorial has been esta bIished: in the spirit of the institution. in the ideals for which Connecticut college stands pledged, and in the fine and generous temper which marks the mu- tual relations of its members.
 The sorrow that fills our hearts to- day is deep and sincere and finds fit ting expression in this service. But the most worthy tribute we can pay to the memory of Dr. Sykes will be a devotion to Connecticut college re- newed and deepened. It is the high privilege of you who knew him and felt the touch of his rare spirit to be unswervingly true to the ideals he cherished and to transmit them undim- med through the years to the classes which shall succeed you.
 For his special work as a teacher of literature Dr. Sykes possessed ex- ceptional equipment. to be seen not only in his wide and accurate know ledge of books but in the insight he.

DELIVERED MEMORIAL
 ADDRESS AT COLLEGE.
Rev. Joseph H. SeIden Pays Tribute to
 Memory of Frederick H. Sykes.

A memorial service was held at Connecticut college Wednesday after noon for pr. Frederick H. Sykes, first president of the college, who died re-
 gently in Cambridge, Mass. The me- morial service at the college was held at the same hour as the funeral which took place in Toronto, Canada. The service was conducted by President Marshall, and Rev. Joseph H. Selden, D. D., of this city delivered the me morial address. pr. Selden spoke as follows:
 Some few years ago I met a friend on the streets of New York After word of greeting he asked, somewhat abruptly. What are they doing at have a campus, an endowment, a board of trustees and president. I could understand the keen interest of my friend in this enterprise. for he has one of the New England colleges for women. wonder. he continued, if pr. Sykes appreciates the opportunity which has come to him? If he Is wise he will avail himself of our experi- ence, avoiding the serious errors into which we have been betrayed. The right man can make Connecticut col lege one of the most valuable schools for the training of young women to be found in America.
  campus were completed, the college opened its doors and the class of 1919 was enrolled. Very soon it ~1as my good fortune to make the acquaiptance of Dr. Sykes. The words of my friend were recalled as he spoke of his ideals and the hopes he entertained for this institution. I found him keenly aware of its significance and high possfbili- ties. I was deeply impressed, as all must have been impressed who fol- lowed the unfolding life of the. college, with the sanity and breadth of his out look. He was in no sense of the word was no break with. the past nor were radical methods followed in organizing the courses of instruction. The presi- dent determined that a high standard should be set as regards the accuracy and careful discrimination which are the mark of scholarship. At the same time he sought to make the work of college practical; not in the'narrower sense of that word, not by an insistent on the immediate application of knowledge here gained to the bread trades. He saw truth for him. self and he strove to bring every | member of the student body to see truth in its relation to life.
 Notwithstanding the practical bent i of his mind, Dr. Sykes impressed all l who knew him as essentially an ideal l st. Truth be loved, and honor and l above all he >exemplif1ed in himself as lie sought to impress upon the life of | inc college that sympathetic insight | nto the moods and motives of others | which is one of the distinguishing | marks of a true democracy.
