PROFESSOR RETIRED
FROM PENNSYLVANIA
FOR BEING PACIFIST

Philadelphia, Pa, April 6.-Dr 81
mon n Patton, professor ~ political
economy at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, and a noted contributor TO the
literature of economics today announc-
ed receipt of a notification that his re
lations with the university are to
cease at the end of the fiscal year.
Dr. Patten declares he was served
with the notice after he had presided
at a Pacifist meeting last Friday and
had permitted his name to be reprinted
as one Of number of speakers at a
similar meeting scheduled for last
Sunday and which was forbidden by
the police authorities.
The reason advanced in the notice
of enforced retirement is that DIR. Pat
ten has attained the age of 65 years -
although the professor points out that
his original contract with the. univer.
sity, dated April T. 1891, declares that
'he is now confirmed in the said pro.
fessorship without limitation of time. "
DR.. Patten in a statement said the
notification given him RAISES anew
the question of free speech and is akin
to the case of DR.. Scott Nearing, who
virtually was forced out of the Whar.
ton School Of the University of Penn.

GERMANY INDIFFERENT

Berlin, April G.-Via London, $50
a. m.-Although most Of the Berlin
papers continue today their unfrienl-

Wilson's speech, the German govern
ment has so far taken no official no.

that a reply to certain historical feat
ures of his address will come later
especially if, as reported, Washington
sends copies to the neutral govern
ments.
The Berlin public still maintains its
attitude of indifference to the crisis
and similar apathy is reported from
other cities In no instance as far as
is known have Americans been the
subject Of unpleasant incidents.
The foreign office declares no
change is contemplated in the attitude
of the government toward Americans
or American property. Citizens of
the United States will be treated as
neutrals, although even the state of
war resolution is passed by congress
and will have every freedom to either

the remainder being women and chill.
dron Moreover the number has been
steadily decreasing as many Ameri.

There are probably several thousand
Americans still in Germany, but many
Of these have been here so long that
they are more German than American

WAR TAX MEASURES
UNDER CONSIDERATION
AT WASHINGTON

Washington, April 6-Formuation
of tax measures for the war has not
reached definite stage, but there are
indications that the treasury will en-
deayor to raise by one bond issue as
much of the S3,4OO,OO0,O0C asked for
the army and navy as cannot be OBJ
tanned by new and increased taxation.
Unofficial estimates to federal re-
serve board officials indicate that there
would be no great difficulty in raising
$1,000, 100000 by a bond issue at 3ia
per cent.
Governors Of the banks now In ses-
sion here favored a rate of 3E per
cent The general opinion was that
the first issue should bear the same
interest rate as contemplated for sub
sequent issues.
Through present internal revenue
taxes, the government will obtain APP
proXimately S750,0O0,OO0 this year.
Suggested increases in the Inheritance
tax rate, II is estimated. would in
crease the returns from that source
alone to S50O,0O0,0O0.
The income tax, under existing
rates, will yield approximately S325,-
100000 this year. Lowering of the eX-
cmption to $1,000 and increasing the
rate on large incomes, one of the
proposals under consideration, would
swell the sum 10 vast figures II was
thought that a lowering OF the eXemp-
tion to $1,000 would increase the
revenue at least Sl0O,000,O00 annually
at the present rate.
Increased tax on distilled liquors,
beer and tobacco also are under con
sideration.

Of Agriculture Mr. Lubin is here to
report the facts TO President Wilson
through Ambassador Page and IS urg-
ing the imperative necessity of a
mobilization of American agricultural
resources. TO a correspondent of the
Associated Press Mr.. Lubin said:
For the first time I'm many years
there exists a deficit in the supply ol
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, es-
timated at a total of 10000 bushels
less than the normal requirements for
countries open to trade. The situation
is worse than was expected last Oc-
tOber.
The institutes reports indicated
then surplus more than enough to
feed the world until August Of this
year when the new crops begin to come
in.
I'VE must profit by Europe's eX-
perience before meal tickets become
necessary. We can avoid high prices
by eliminating waste, by growing more
food and by effective organization Of
our food supply, which is more i'm
portant than getting men for the
army

DIDN'T LIKE PICKET DUTY.

There is at least one Boy Scout
,encamped with the other members
of his troop in Palisades park who
has been disillusioned regarding the
glories Of camp life, according to a
New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. He may later
become a soldier, but it won't be be-
cause Of the glamour surrounding
tented life in the wilderness. The
Scouts dad is a newspaper man and
he detailed his son to take careful
note of the activities of the troop
and write it up for publication. He
iobeyed his instructions so carefully
that when the first installment ar
rived at the newspaper office it was
mistaken for summer resort news,
so voluminous was the text. But
everything was there, including even
the authors own deeds and mis-
deeds. 81 like everything but picket
duty" he finished, Severy time we
have a chicken to roast, I am de-
tailed to pick it."

CATTLE GET BEST OF GRAIN
Grandparents of Present Generation
Were Strong Because They Ate
Whole Wheat Bread.

That there is a campaign among
the millers of wheat and interests
allied to them to discredit efforts to
persuade people to prefer whole
wheat bread to white bread is as
serted by DR.. Charles E. Banks,
senior surgeon of the United States
public health service.
He says that present methods OF
milling utilize rs per cent of the
grain, and this is almost exclusively
the starchy part; the other rs per
cent, containing the phosphorus,
mineral salts, vitamines, etc., is sold
:by the millers as feed for hogs and
cattle. These grow fat on it, for they
are getting the best part of the
wheat.
Doctor Banks says the diet of
white bread is responsible for Amer
Jeans of today being pale and anemic
in youth and fat and fabby at forty,
whereas their grandparents, who ate
whole wheat bread, were strong and
athletic.

MAN NOT DESCENDANT or APE
Scientist Points Out Differences Be
tween TWO Which lie Defies h
DRY of Evolution to Explain.

DR.. Nation M. Curtis, professor
of philosophy in Western Reserve
university, protests in a letter to
Science against the assertion, still
common in current scientific litera-
ture, that man is a descendant OF
the anthropoid apes. He quotes Pro-
fessor Duckworth, the leading au-
thority in this field, who wrote in his
"Morphology and Anthrcpology:"
eve must conclude that the exist
ing anthropoid apes, constituted as
they now are, did not figure in the
ancestry of man."
And he points out some of the
fundamental differences between
man and the apes, differences which
defy any theory Of evolution to ex-
plain. Among these differences are
those in the form of the skulls, the
shape of the most ancient skulls that
have been found being substantially
the same as the shape of the skulls
of today.
Professor Curtis pleads that sound
science and sound education be based
upon actual facts and such theories
as grow out of them, rather than
upon mere speculations.
