FREE SPEECH in COLLEGE.

= =
Quite number Of college professors
have lately lost their jobs owing to thei,
prot German proclivities. Most of these
men complain bitterly and rant about
':free-speech'' and '.liberty'' being the
born privilege Of an American citizen.
It is strange that intelligent, educated
men like these cannot see that what
they call "iFee speech" makes them un-
fit to keep their Jobs. Suppose that
their arguments are correct. that does
not alter the situation Ct all. They are
still persons ''nou grata." They don't

THE Y. M. C. A. ARMY WORK.

The first real effort to assauge the
horrors of the battle field, by the care
of the wounded by women nurses was
begun by Florence Nightingale during
the Crimean war back in the sos. In
later wars there were more or less organ.
lied efforts to care for the soldiers. but
we think that in the Civil War did
these efforts became really general, ma
tional and effective.
With the American genius for organ
izatlon the general desire to assist the
soldiers in the camps hospitals and fields
was resolved into national organizations,
Broadly defined one of these cared for
bodily needs of the soldiers and
sailors and was called "The Sanitary
Commission" while the other organiza-
tion looked after the special mental and
moral wants aud was called The Chris
tain"
Thus, at the very beginning it was
found by experience that it was better
that this natural division be recognized
and thus administered. While the two
bodies were entirely distinct in organiza-
ton and work, yet they worked in har-
mony and connection with each other.
What these great societies did for the
soldiers of the Civil War is to some ex-
tent matter Of general history, but
the story was engraven on the hearts
of the veterans of that war.
From the Sanitary Commission, in
particular, has grown up that great in.
stitution which is known as the Rad
Cross. We need not here try to tell
what che Red Cross is or what it means.
1t is household word and household
work in these days and for these terrible
days. That practically every individual
it interested in this work Is not only true
but it is patriotic duty SO to be.
The Christian Commission of the
Civil War also has it's successor. That
great organization of the Young Mems
Christian Association has taken up the
work. With its splendid organisation
md administrative ability, with it's CO.
relative purposes in pence times, it only
meant IN extension Of their work ON |
practically the same lines TO adapt and
sxtsad their work to the camps and
ships.

TIE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

In northern France the Canadians
with the British troops made an im-
portant gain on Monday by taking a
commanding ridge which dominates the
plain between it and the city of Rou sers
five miles distant and which city is a
very important railway center. Near
Laon the Germans voluntarily retired
for considerable distant in front of the
French. On the Eastern part of this
line an outpost of Americans were sur.
prised and outnumbered by German
patrol three Americans were killed, five
wounded and twelve taken prisoners.
This was the first American caualty list
OF the war.
An American patrol boat with seven
officers and eighty five men was torpe-
doed at place not named but in Euro
pean waters, aud twenty five men we're
lost
The Russian situation is still cloudy
with doubtful future.
The Italian armies are still retreating
but are holding the Germans back to
some extent. However, the Germans
would almost certainly lind it necessary
to advance more slowly in order to bring
forward their big guns and supplies over
difficult mountainous roads. About the
only hope for the Italian situation is the
bringing in of reinforcelnents from Brit.
ain and France.
The military question Of the day has
resolved into "how soon can and how
much will the United States help to fill
the vacancies made b. Russia and Italy
IN the ranks of the entente allies?"
Only twelve British ships lost by the
work, Of U-boats this week, the smallest
number for long period.
There are indications of active opera.
tions by the entente allies along the Bel.
.gian sea coast at Ostend and Zeebrugge
now held by Germans.

While the teacher has right to his
opinions just the same as any Other
citizen, yet from the very nature of his
occupation, under the laws and customs
of this country, he may not take advan
tage of his position to proselyte. That
matter was threshed out three-quarters
of century ago when the question OF
religious instruction in common schools
became for time partisan, political
issue. It ended by the tacit agreement
between all parties that in conglomer.
ate population like ours, composed OF
all sorts OF people of all kinds of religious
'or nom religious opinions, that the only
possible way of making the common
schools s'common" was to leave out the
religious instruction from the schools
and that part of the child's education to
be given at home or in the Sunday
schools.
In the state supported, higher institu-
tions of f,learning the same rule applies.
and when it comes to patriotism the
man who is being paid by the state, if
he has not the grace to appreciate that
fact. and by teaching sedition under
