PARIS. France. October l2-Con-
meating on the speech of the German
minister of foreign affairs. Richard Won
kuehimann. relative to Alsace-Lor-
raine. all the French newspapers de-
nounce it as n hypocritical German
narrower to convince the allies that
French Chauvinism was responsible for
the war.
The Paris lie Matin reitera:es the
declarations made by the allies, and
notably by the British statesmen. AS
auith. Churchill and Balfour and af-
firrneG by the King of Italy. that the
restitution of Alsacc-Iorraine was one
of their conditions of peace.
president WILSON, adds the paper,
has lost no opportunity to declare
either in public or in private that the
liberation of Alsace-Lorraine formed
a part of the plan for a new Europe as
he conceived it."
Another Paris daily. LIE Petit Parisien
calls attention to the gradually in
creasing disorder in Germany and says
that Won Kuehlmann's position is pre-
carious. French opinion is in nowise
alarmed by the decisive tone of the
German minister. but manifests more
confidence than ever. This confidence is
admirably expressed by Gustave Herye
in his paper. La Victoire. as follows:
In. 1870 Jules Favre eloquently de-
clared Not one inch Of our territory
not one stone of our fortresses will we
cede. Yet several months later. after
the treaty OF Frankfort. we coded more
than one inch Of territory and one stone
Of our fortresses. Won Kuehlmann will
also change his tune before long"

NEW YORK, October l2.-Trustees and

Der of the faculty at a meeting OF 100
underclassmen of the college today.
In rendering his resignation last Mon
day Prof Beard said It was because the
university is really under the control
of small and active group of trustees
who have no standing in the world of
education. who are reactionary and vi
sionless in politics, narrow and medieval
in religion"
The resolutions adopted today ex-
press regret that the professor felt it
necessary to resign" and that Sin the
interest of the good name and scho-
lastic reputation of Columbia, we con-
fidently expect the trustees and faculty
to adopt whatever measures may be
necessary to bring about q desira BILE

CULTIVATE HUMOR.
BY 81. ADDINGToN BRUCE.
Copyright, 1910

Few people really appreciate the i'm
portance of cultivating a sense OF hu-
NOR.
In these grim days to be able to smile
Is particularly desirable. But 1t Is al
ways desirable. And it is something
still better to be able to laugh.
Laughter, I have long ago insisted,
is one of the great safety valves OIL
struggling humanity.
1t eases nervous tension. 1t gives the
mind momentary holiday. Physioios-
ically it has the excellent effect of
strengthening the muscles of the lungs.
chest and abdomen. and of stimulating
the circulation.
There Is the additional and most I'M
portant reason that cultivation OF the
sense of humor saves one from taxing
him self too seriously.
When a man can really see the funny
side of things he is not likely to be a
bore. a pedant. a prig. or other sort OF
social nuisance.
He VIII intuitively avoid making him
self ridiculous in any of these ways.
Or If he chances to get into ridlcu-
lous situation he will not be over
whelmed by chagrin and injured self
esteem. but will join good-naturedly in
the general laOPN at MS eApei'oe.
Life will thus become easier for him
and for those who have to deal with
him. II he is an employer his own eff
c.ency viii he increased and the effi-
cheney of his employees.
If-like presidents and kings-he is in
a position of uncommon authority, his
sense of humor will be a blessing truly

Witness the depths of misery to which
the Hohenzollerns of Germany have
dragged the world.
For years the Hohenzollerns have
plumed and preened themselves alb

They have taken themselves SO seri

they imagine themselves the sole Gus

Naturally the world has not accepted
this insane claim to semidivin!ty. And
the HohenZollerns wonder at the
worlds stupidity and willfulness They
cannot understand the obstinacy of the
world. for they have no sense Of hu-
NOR.
For their lack of n sense of humor
and the evils which have flowed there

rest certain.
Just as We may also rest certain that

OPEN UPTOWN BRANCH
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The Home Savings Bank has leased
premises ia 14th street northwest. at
the south end of the Bond building. i'm
mediately adjoining the Union Savings
Bank. and will shortly open a brancn
bank there.
In announcing the opening B. F. Saul,
president of the Home Savings Bank.
expressed the opinion that the uptown,
or 14th street branch, as the new off,
ces will be known. would prove a great
convenience to the customers of the
bank in that and other sections of the
city, through the large number of bust
ness men and others having frequent
business in the neighborhood.
The Home Savings Bank has capital
of 100000, Il surplus of 100000 and
undivided profits of $4,000. with de-
posts Of S5.796,0o0. Its depositors are
numbered by the thousands.
The Liberty Savings Bank recently
opened for business in the northwest
corner of the main floor of the Bond
building. and the Home Savings Bank
branch, to be known as the Fourteenth
Street branch, is in the southeast cor
ner. so that government officials in the
Communicated Bond building Will have
no trouble in depositing their surplus
funds.
