and in this connection they pointed
to the fact that the German merchant

not go under until after she passed

(By Associated Press.)

Having failed .disastrously in their
recent effort to drive the French from
commanding positions on the Chemin-
des-Dames on the Aisne front, the
Germans are now turning their at
tention to the Champagne, apparent
ly with a similar purpose.
Attacks were made by, the crown
princes troops last night on the
French lines west of. Mont Carnillet
and southeast Of !Tahure. The drives
evidently were not Of such intensity
as that earlier in the week along the
Aisne. and the Paris official report
says they were easily repulsed.
Vigorous Artillery Work.
The artillery lighting is proceeding
in these and other sectors of the
Champagne. In the Verdun. region al
SO the French guns are active. With
the evident effort of making the Ger
man trenches west and north Of Hill

prince has none too secure a hold on
such ground here as his troops were
able to seize in their sudden rush a
few days ago.

drawn into this unfortunate mael-
strom, for your sake and that Of the
college. 1 stand alone with no one
else involved. There has never been
a more loyal and devoted faculty than
that Of the Agricultural college dur
ing the past year Harmony has pre-
vailed; your support came to every
undertaking and place you, without
fear Of contradiction, as the equal Of
any faculty Of any other college Of
the same rank and type. Stand for
your work, be loyal to the college,
stay with 1t, be honest in your ef-
forts and discuss, not even among
yourselves. this unfortunate affair;
for by your efforts and with the sup
port Of the student body, the educa-
tional standard has been, in the past
year, much improved and do not let
1t be set back.
Il am but an incident in the up
building of the college and as the
curtain may be forced down, I say to
you, 1t will surely rise again and as
you have served, SO may you be re-
warded in its future greatness. We
all come short Of what we would like
to do. If at times have seemed un-
sympathetic, you may now catch a
glimpse Of the trials that have made
it necessary.
What I am here forced to say is
with no feeling Of i'll Will towards any
one, and shall regret If any one is
forced to feel otherwise towards me,
but petty politics can never be made
to mix with the spirit Of true educa-
ton and research. My work and its
results I am willing to leave to the
will Of the common people whom
have endeavored to serve during these
years.
