Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.-George
Washington, after a century and
soquarter still remains the pole star of
arAmerican foreign policy, declared
&sJacob Gould Schurman, president OF
saCOrnelI university, today in an adj
ndress before the University Of Penn
sylvania, which suspended its regular
q. academic functions for exercises in
celebration Of Washington's birthday.
So Dr. Schurman recalled how WASH
ington attended commencement at the
University of Pennsylvania in May
known as the College OF
Philadelphia-in company with the
= other members of the Second Con-
stinental congress. Toward the con-
clusion Of his address, DR.. Schurman,
after having discussed Washington's
pre- eminence as a soldier and states
man, his Americanism and his in
sistence on American rights, said:
How inspiriting is the example OF
washington to Americans today! Once

suit, we must be able to repel it; if
we desire to secure peace, one of the
most powerful instruments of our ris-
ing prosperity it must be known that
we are at all times ready for war;
I'm this passage you have Wash
ington's whole philosophy of peace,
war, and preparedness. Nothing
truer or wiser has ever been written,
and Washington's words are as true
and wise and applicable today as they
were when he uttered them in 1898.
Undoubtedly there have been many
changes in the century and a quarter
that has since elapsed. Communtca-
tons by sea and land have greatly
Improved, intercourse with foreign
countries has increased, international
relations have been multiplied. But
human nature is substantially un-
changed and national ambitions and
rivalries, stimulated by greater prizes,
are more intense and perhaps more
explosive than ever before. Whatever
be the future prospects of the human
race, we have not yet reached that
stage of rational and moral develop
ment in which Justice, righteousness,
and public law can dispense with the
sanctions OF physical force.
ut is painful situation for Amer
lea, dedicated as she is to peaceful
industry, democratic government, and
the promotion Of the general welfare.
War is contradiction of these high.
aims. Yet there is no gainsaying the
truth of Washington's words: II we
want to secure peace we must be at
all times ready for war; Indeed the
saying is truer now than ever before.
For war today is conducted on such a
colossal scale, and makes use Of such
a vast and multiform organization of

the number of Americans seeking to

Officials estimate that at least one

long negotiations, have granted both

BITES ARE VERY SERIOUS

William and James Haney, aged IL

lost two chunks of flesh from their
left arms, their mother was badly
frightened and neighbors found it
necessary to stay within doors for

said the dog bites were the most Sc

suit the two lads will be inoculated
with anti-hydophobia serum. With
the assistance OF a neighbor he also
killed the dog and will have the ami

Sem hospital
According to the boys mother the
bulldog had been gentle and playful
and never showed a vicious temper
until just before he attacked the boys.
The dog was playing with a pet kit
ten when it suddenly became mad and
bit the cat. Then It attacked James,
the youngest OF the boys. Mrs.
Haney and William, who were near
by, grabbed the dog and beat it to
make il release its grip on James
arm. The enraged animal then at
tackled William and bit a piece out of
his left arm.

Finally the dog was chased out OF

and caused them to seek shelter. DR..

Farm Life Might
Reform Bad Boys
Whom City Spells

Judge Leslie of the juvenile court
would put some of the city's boys
boys who are living in homes where
the influences and environs are not
Of the best--on farms. He believes
that there are hundreds Of farmers in
Nebraska willing to take lads Of this
type and given them some kind Of
work to do that will pay for their
board and room and possibly some
thing on the side.
There are many lads, who If taken
away from the street life of the city
at the right time, would become use
full citizens if they got touch of
farm life. Many Of these boys who
get into trouble because OF bad COM
panions and poor conditions at home
would make themselves useful on
farms, where they would be away
from the gang life Of the city. The
juvenile court knows of many such
lads and am confident that there
are scores of farmers who could make
good use of them and provide homes
of the right kind"
