INDIANS READY FOR
RICHMOND COLLEGE


williamsburg. Va. November To-
With Just enough GOODNESS In the air to
make a warrior eager to take the war
path, the Indians closed one of the
most successful weeks OF practice this
year. In Wednesdays scrimmage the
scrubs" were no more than a paper
wall against the rapid-ire plays OF the
varsity. Coach Young has worked his
men harder this week than In any
other this year, for he realizes that the
game with the spiders at Williamsburg
is the game of the ear.
The Indian management has secured
n ffteen-piece band to enliyen the con-
test. ust before the game the Will
liam and Mary battalion. led by the
hand. will parade from the upper end
OF Duke Of Gloucester" street to
Carey field. the scene of the battle.
Coach Young's probable lineup:

WAR SERVICE is NOT
EQUIVALENT TO EDUCATION
SAYS PRESIDENT LOWELL

President A. Lawrance Lowell, -of
Harvard. does not faver the granting
OF college credit to men in the ervice.
lie believes that "a college. degree liz a
certihcate of a certain noun of edu-
cation h q has been tasted and at
tanned 1t is g. requirement for ad-
mission to higher graduate and pro-
fessional schools. 1t is not a certif-
cate OF good conduct or Tn any way a
correct recognition OF military ser
vice"
IT the A. 3. degree is a certificate
or good conduct" DR.. Lowells says in
the Yale Daily News, a sort of decora-
tlon given 10 students. then doubtless
credit ought to be given toward II for
service in the army. II. on the other
hand. IL is a certificate of a certain
a amount OF education. then It ought
not 10 be given unless that education
has been attained and tested. Take
the case OF the other university de-
grees. Would 1t be proper to count a
year in the trenches toward a medi-
cal education as an equivalent of or
substitute FOR a knowledge of bacteri-
oiogy. physiological chemistry and
other subjects? Obviously not.
AT the present time the A. Il. de-
gree is an educational requirement
FOR admission to many graduate and
schoo!a OF the universities, for ex-
ample, and some law schools and
medical schools. Can any of these
schools consider that two years OF
study In college and two years of SER
vice In the trenches fits a man edu-
cationally for the advanced work OF
the school, or not? II so, then the
educational requirement OF those
schools means little, If not. a degree
granted in of credit for
work in the trenches cannot be &C
cepted ny those schools as equivalent
to a degree of A. b. earned by study.
Let me present another difficulty.
Whe g shall the line he drawn? /
know a young man who passed his
entrance examinations TO college this
last spring, II Immediately left on
the ambulance service Suppose the
war continues four years. nd he then
comes back again, shan his four years
of service in the ambulance-or, let
us suppose, In trenchcs-be counted
AS equivalent to our years in a coll
lege, and has he a claim to a degree
from p college that he has never at
tended2 And. If so. has he a claim
on any Of the colleges which his ex-
a~mination entitled him to enter?
YOU will observe that the attempt
to treat nationai service as equivalent
to education leads to endless perrlexl-
ties, because 1t Is in itself Illogical.
and AN attempt TO reward patriotic
service in I'm inappropriate way. Is
there not some other way In which
colleges can recognize the military
: service of their students? Could they
not. for example, point In their cats-
logues of graduates. after the list of
the members of each class who have
obtained their degrees, a list Of those
members who did not graduate on ac-
count of military service in which they
lost their lives? Illis could be done
In the case of all university degrees"

EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le- Queux, who here chronicles for his friend, Count Ernst von Heltxendorn, the latter's revelations of the inner life of the imperial German court, has long been recognized throughout Eu- rope the possessor of it's innermost secrets.
 The English "Who's Who" says of hint "He has intimate knowledge of the secret service of Continental coun- tries and is considered by the govern ment (of Great Britain) an authority on such matters" Another authocfty sayss deFew people have been more closely as- sociated with or know more of the astounding inner machinery of Ger many than he.
 LeQueux probably has more sources of secret information at his command than any contemporary in civil life, and for the last six years the British Gov ernment has made valuable use of his vast store of secret information through . specially organized department with which LeQueux works as a voluntary assistant.
 Count von HeItzendorn became an i'm to the outbreak of the war; he has been living in retirement in France since August, 1914, and it was there that Le- Queux received from the crown princess late personal adjutant permission to make public these revelations of the Inner life of the Hohenzollerns-that the demOcracies of the world might come to know the real, but heretofore hidden, personalities of the two domf- nant members of the autOcracy they are now arrayed against.

A colored man, working near the outskirts of the city, went to a nearby grocery at the noon hour and bought 5 cents worth of crackers for his lunch. As he started to leave the store he no- ticed some neat looking boxes that contained samples of axle grease. "Say, mister" he called to the grocer. "what's these little boxes of cheese worth" "Oh," says the grocer, "those are Aust advertising samples. Help yourself to one if you like" The next day he appeared at the store again and was asked by the groceryman how he liked his lunch of yesterday. Scratching his head dubiously he said: "Well, mister, your crackers was a-all right, but, sa-a-ay, boss, that cheese was sure ransom = Indianapolis News.

the Marble palace at Potsdam.
 I, as his imperial highness' personal adjutant, had been travelling all day with him from Cologne to Berlin. We had done a tour of military inspec- tions in Westphalia, and, as usual, ''Willie's" conduct had not been exact ly exemplary.
 On the night in question much had happened. The emperor had, a month before, returned from visit to Eng land, where he had been engaged by speeches and handshakes, public and private, blowing narcotic dust in the nostrils of your dear but too conf1ding nation.
 "Heltzendorff !" exclaimed the crown prince, as he suddenly entered the room where was busy attending to pile of papers. "Do get through all those letters and things. Burn them all if you can. What do they mat ter?"
 Many of them are matters of grave importance. Here, for instance, is report of the chief of military intel hgence in Washington"
 "Oh, old Friesch! Tear it upI He is but an old fossil at best. And yet, Heltzendorff, he is designed to be of considerable use," he added. His majesty told me tonight that after his visit to England he has conceived the idea to establish an official movement for the improvement of better rela- tions between Britain and Germany. The dear British are always ready to receive such movements with open arms. At Carlton House terrace they strongly indorse the emperor's ideas, and he tells me that the movement should first arise in commercial and shipping circles. Herr Ballin will gen. crate the idea in his offices in London and the various British ports, while his majesty has Von Gessler, the ex- ambassador at Washington, in view as the man to bring forth the sugges- ton publicly. Indeed, tonight from the Wilhelmstrasse there has been sent a message to his schloss on the Mosel commanding him to consult with his majesty. Won Bernstorff took his place at Washington few months ago."
 "But Won Gessler is an inveterate enemy of Britain" exclaimed in sur prise, still seated at my table.
 ''The world does not know that. The whole scheme is based upon Britain's ignorance of our intentions. We bring Won Gessler forward as the dear, good, Anglophile friend with his hand out stretched from the Wilhelmstrasse. Oh, Heltzendorff p' he laughed. "It is really intensely amusing. is it not?'
 was silent. I knew that the deep- ly laid plot against Great Britain was proceeding apace.
 Get through all that-tonight if you can, Heltzendorff," the crown princess leaves for Treseburg, in the Harz, tomorrow, and in the evening we go to Nice"
 '"To Nice !' exclaimed.
 "Yes," he said. "I have a friend there."
 friend therel reflected. I could only suppose thst the attraction in Nice was of the feminine gender.
 'Then the lady is in Nice!" I re- marked, for sometimes I was permit ted, on account of my long service with the emperor, to speak familiarly
 Lady, mol" he retorted. 'It is a man. And I want to get to Nice at the earliest moment. So get through those internal documents. Burn them all They are better out of the way" he laughed.

RAILROADS ARE
 TRANSPORTING MANY TROOPS
(By Associated t'ress1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The part Ahnerica's railroads have played in preparing the nation for war was re- lated to congress in the annual re- port of the Interstate Commerce com mission. While struggling under un- usual commercial demands, the com mission explained, the railroads were forced suddsa to transport great numbers of troops and quantities of cantonment materials. The giant task was acc6nlplished successfully, but only by cooperation of the roads among themselves and with the Com merce commission.
 The commission gave no specific words of praise for the railroads, but commendation was implied.
 Looking ahead, the commission sees that it is necessary to develop to a greater extent the principle of priority for transportation of com modities essential to the conduct of the war. and predicts broader action of this sort in the near future"
 No hint is given of the commis sion's attitude toward the eastern and western railroads pending applica, tion for increased freight rates to meet extraordinary expenses.
