A Story of q Scholar.

Theodor Memmsen, the famous his
~torian, had not only the appearance.
but the manner, of a scholar. Once
during the half hours drive from Ber-
lin to Charlottenburg the car in which
the professor rode went badly off the
track. The rest of the passengers
alighted, the horses were removed, and
the stranded car was left until help
could be found. Mommsen remained,
reading his book. An hour passed, and
the sound of levers and jacks and the
plunging of horses hoofs aroused him
from his reverie. With no sign of dis
composure he arose from his seat and
went to the door. "Ah," said he, 1--WE
seem to have come to a standstill."

The Word "RuhaivatU

The word "Rubaiyat" is the plural of
"rubai," meaning quatrain, and the
quatrains. The form has a verse
scheme of its own and is the distinc-
tive and most ancient Persian meter.
1t is said To have been invented by
Rudagi, the earliest of the great Per-
sian poets. Nearly all the Persian
poets include Rubaiyat among their
works. Edward FITZGERALD made it an
English form.

oRANDMA's SUN STORY.

0UNNOWAo oON SlONY.
Tell me q story. Grandma, can't
go to Sleep" begged little Bess.
Grandma drew her rocker up be-
side the bed and wiped her glasses,
and told this story:
Once upon q time in Fairyland there
lived an old man. The Fairies had
found him wandering among the
clouds one day and had taken him to
Fairyland with them.
Fairy Queen had never seen an
Earth Being before. 30 she asked his
name and where he came from.
II have no name. My homo Is in the
great world below" replied the old
man. my people are restless and un-
happy because they have no light and
have come in search of help"
The Fairies thought this very
strange, SO they sailed down to earth
The old man had spoken truly and
they planned to help him all they
could.
Gather all the iron, the copper and
the silver you can find and bring it to
me-" the old man begged.
When the Fairies did as he asked
them to the old man put the meta
into a big kettle and placed them over
a. fairy fire until they melted and ran
together. This'he made into a golden
ball and hung It up in the sky so its
rays shot down upon the earth below

IT snail Be Iheir sum-"
This will make my people happy,
for 1t shall be their sum-" laughed the
old man, and he decided to go back to
earth and see IL they really were hap
Ply.
SO one day band Of Fairies sailed
with him to the meadows, but the
Earth Beings were still restless.
III the Fairies can give us light by
day, why can't they tighten our
nights?" complained the Earth Beings.
So the old man returned once more
to Fairyland.
They want more" he laughed.
Il can help you." replied Fairy
Queen. If you're willing to give up
your life with the Earth Beings and
live always with U.S."
The old man thought about this q
short time. but he agreed.
Then Fairy Queen told him he must
turn the golden ball until the spark
flew into the air.
The old man took his place at the
golden ball and turned and turned I'M
til the sparks flew from the sun and
| fastened their points into the fairy
cloud curtains and shed their tiny rays
| down upon the earth. These the ole
man called stars. But still the Fartf
Beings weren't happy.
But one day. after the old man hat
been turning the golden ball many
years, a piece larger than the other
sparks flew into the clouds and hum
there like a tiny sickle in the sky
Fairy Queen gave it to the Fairies ant
they hung 1t among the darkest cloud.
and the old man called 1t the Moon.
Should you ever visit Fairyland 20,
will still see the old man turning tn,
golden ball of fire. SO the children o.
the earth may enjoy the light of tn,
sun, the moon and the stars.
Who was the old man, Grandma p
asked Bess drowsily.
"Old Father Time" replied Grand
ma, tucking the covers under Bess''
| chin.
What beautiful man he must hav'
been to give up his life to help
Bess's voice trailed off into whisper
Grandma turned out the light Bes

lings may think too strong, but which
those who know the situation will
recognize as justified: .
Americans are to be congratulated
on their efforts to induce Germans
in this country to be loyal, but there
are still many under the protection
of the American flag who are snakes
in the grass. The time has come,
however, when they must say wheth-
er they are for or against America.
We should "hog-tie" every dis.
loyal German-American, feed every
pacifist raw meat and hang every
traitor to a lamppost to insure sue
cess in this war. And our traitors
are not all COMMUNICATIONS, but
some men high in public life are
aiding the Prussian cause. There
is no dirtier chapter in American
politics than the crusade of these
men, whose names you know.

stating overnight travel and have
been moved in tourist or standard
sleepers furnished by the Pullman
company.
On one of the long hauls, 5000
men were moved from q training
camp on the western coast to a
point on the eastern coast, a dis
tance of 3,7OO miles in a little less
than a week. The men travelled in
sixteen sections, each section COM
prising IL tourist cars and 2 bag
gage cars.
In order to centralize the fur
nishing of sleeping cars at points
most convenient to the government
and to utilize these cars to the best
advantage, the Pullman company
changed the supervision of the sup
ply and movement of these cars
from the headquarters of the COM
pany at Chicago to Washington,
where they stationed G. W. Henry,
assistant to the superintendent of
car service. Mr.. Henry, in his head
quarters at the offices of the rail-
roads war board, has been in daily
touch with the office of the quarter
master general, and on receipt of
requests from military authorities
for sleeping car equipment has seen
that the cars were rushed at once
to the points needed.
AS a result of this cooperation
between the government, the rail-
roads, and the Pullman company,
half a million soldiers have been
spared the discomforts of making
long trips in day coaches.
To assure the safety of the men
in transit, the railroads have adopt
ed an average speed of rs miles an
hour for all troop trains except
when freight cars needed for the
Transportation of equipment are in
cluded in the trains. The speed is
then reduced to 20 miles an hour.

WHIPPLE OUSTED
BY COLLEGE BOARD
Professor at University of Virginia
Accused of Unpatriotic and Dis
loyal Utterances

Charlottesville, Va, Nov. 27.-
Leonidas R. Whipple, adjunct profess
sor of journeliam at the University Of
Virginia, today was dismissed from
the faculty by unanimous vote of the
board of visitors for "unpatriotic
and disloyal, if not seditious, utter
ances," made in an address at Sweet
Briar College last week. Action by
the board was taken at special
meeting held to consider charges Of
disloyalty made by the alumni and
persons prominent in Virginia affairs.
President Edwin Alderman, Of the
university, in asking the board to dis
miss Whipple, declared it was Whip
ple's deliberate purpose to conduct
far-reaching campaign for the pro-
mitigation of sentiments similar to
those expressed in his address.
Whipple was quoted as saying demo-
cracy was not safe in America and
that he subscribed to the campaign
fund of Morris Hillquit, Socialist
candidate for mayor of New York;
rather than buy liberty bonds.
The board found Whipple guilty
of "unpatriotic and disloyal, if not
seditious, utterances, at a time
when the United States is defend
ing it's people in the most devastat-
ing war of all history" His offense
was held to be aggravated by his
sending advance copies of the ad-
dress to the newspapers and by the
fact that "his utterances received
special significance because they
emanated from one of the faculty
of the university"
The board asserted that although
it was committed to the theory and
practice of freedom of academic
thoug hit and expression, it regarded
Whipple's utterances as "a gross
abuse of the freedom of speech"

FORMER AMBASSADOR GER
ARD STATES SOME FACTS
PLAINLY AND TRUTHFULLY
The Manufacturers Record.

The Manufacturers Record.
Former Ambassador James W.
Gerard, who represented this coun-
try at Berlin for some years, prob
ably knows the Germans and the
German situation better than any
other public man in America. He
was on the inside with the oppor-
tunity of studying conditions in
Germany and the meaning of the
war, and he had there, and he has
also in this country, the opportuni-
ty to see what the pro-German ac-
tivities in this country mean. And
so Mr.. Gerard has something of a
right, as an American citizen and
the former Ambassador to Ger
many, to call the nation to realiza-
tion of the situation as he sees it.
In an address in Pittsburgh last
week Mr.. Gerard said that the time
for repentance of disloyal American
and pro-Germans sympathers has
passed, and the day is at hand when
every person must decide whether
he is for or against America. And
to this he added vigorous, red
blooded statement, which some weak

AMERICANS GET
FRENCH HONORS
Men Told to Keep Medals in Posses
sion But Not to Wear Them.

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 26.-The French war
cross has been conferred on the Is
American officers and men who
were cited with their company by
the French general commanding the
sector in which the Americans were
stationed at the time of the first
German raid in the night of Novem-
Der 2-3. The men were decorated
today and were informed that they
must keep the medals in their pos
session, but must not wear them un-
til congress gives its authorization.
The ceremony was an impressive
one.
An American major general pre-
sented the decorations and cita-
tions, giving the regimental colonel
those for the men who were killed.
They will be sent to their next of
kin.
In referring to the action of this
American company, the French
general said:

u. S. MAY BE ABLE TO
SETTLE RUSSIAN TROUBLE
President Wilson Has Gathered
Some Facts as to Situation and
May Act Without Delay.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Word re-
ceived by the state department lndl-
Gates that the United States may
vet bear a vital part in the settle
ment of Russia's troubles. The fol
lowing facts were learned:
First: The Russian northern arm
les are threatened with starvation
and this may cause new revolt.
Second: The Lenine-Trotzky
government is in wireless communl-
cation with Berlin.
Third: The new socialist gov
ernment raised banners at some
point near Petrograd, threatening
to overthrow Bolsheviki.
Fourth: Notice of Trotzky ask
ing for an armistice is before Presl-
dent Wilson. 1t may afford an op-
portunity for the president to
arouse Russia to the German peril
through such ringing messages as ne
sent to the Moscow conference and
may afford an opportunity for the
overthrow of Lenine and Trotzky
through a pointed ignoring of sug-
eestions by the United States and
the allies.
