many temptations will be presented to

youngsters, especially on the farms,

his attitude toward the reichsta2's
peace resolution, before the introduc-

I tluouS the declaration was read The
mischief was thus done and the out
side world received the impression that
another crisis had come. For this the
mismanaEfment OF the censorship over

Over the boiling cauldron there pre-

record as a capable official and organ

p The Opposing Faction.
Opposing the rcichStag majority is
the numerically small but powerful
conservative and pan-German faction

re shape political and parliamentary
institutions. These reactlonary forces
for the most part represent the nations

II the chancellor today feels hat the
wind temporarily is being tempered to
the shorn lamb, It is due to his convic-

No Hasty Reorganization.

No Aioo'y
The session gave the impression that
advocates of parliamentary reforms are
inclined TO support the chancellor in
his opinion and that reorganization
cannot be undertaken hastily. 1t is
1lain at this date, however, that the
coalition which has bees augmented
immeasurably by the adhesion Of the
national liberals, now constitutes an in
"inc,hle reicbStag majority with which
the chancellor must reckon, which will
enter the new session next month with
a definitely outlined program,
While a slip of the tongue by the
chancellor and a bungled report Of
Wednesdays session were directly re-
Sponsible for the tension OF the past
week, the existence OF much combust-
lble material Of a political and parlia-
mentary nature is likely to call forth
other flare-ups on account OF the
present mood and temper Of the reich
stag majority's growing appetite for
increased authority and responsibility
and further conflicts in the attempt to
appease that appetite are hardly avoid
able.

Greater Possibilities.
"Thc field of higher education also
offers greater possibilities to the ind
vldual now than ever before. The end
OF this war will find a large part OF
the trained men OF Europe gone from
their offices and laboratories, not 10
return. The work OF rebuilding the
commerce OF the world will fall large
ly upon American trained men and
women. The demand for them will be
greater than IT has been before. And
the nation will benefit in proportion to
the degree in which IT it able to fur

Few sacrifices are too great for pa

before the senate SO that IL will be

authority TO permit the use of food /

Martin the majority leader and Sena-
tor Gerry
President Wilson, according TO Sen
ator Phelan of California with whom
he conferred regarding prohibition
legislation, desires that he have au-
thority to stop the manufacture of
malt and vinous liquors in case OF
emergency. but does not believe imme-
diate prohibition Of their manufacture
is necessary or desirable.

deIstood to feel that the insistence OF
some senator's on bone dry legislation
endangered the early passage OF the
food bill which he is anxious To see
become law as soon as possible.

Administration leaders were said
also to feel that sGch legislation would
be disturbing factor in the economic
life of the country and might lead to
serious discomfort among the workers
