England has no better soldiers than
these, her university men. A leJtef
which one OF them addressed 20 ms
mother, and which | have been PRIV.
LEGGED to read, will show the spirit OF
these men. It reads:
"You must not be anxious about my
not coming back. The chances are
about ten to one that ! shall. But u
should not, you must be proud, like the
Spartan mothers, and feel 1t Is Jour
contribution to the triumph o. ne
cause whose justice you feel so keenly.
Everybody should take part IN thus
struggle, which is to have so decisive
an effect not only on the nations IN
gagged, but on all humanity. Ihera
should be no neutra.s. Every one
should bear some part Of the burden.
If so large a part should fall TO your
share, YOU should be in so far superior
to every woman, and should be CORE
spondngly proud. There should be
nothing 10 regret, for / could rot have
done otherwise than what | did, and |
think | could not have done better.
Death is nothing terrible. after all. II
NAV mean something even more Won
derful than life. II cannot mean any
thing worse to the good soldier"
The man who wrote these words was
An American from Harvard, the author
of the poem 81 Have Rendezvoug
With Death" Just before ne fell
Rupert Brooke wrote:
II should die. think only this Of
NE:
That there's some corner Of for
eign field
That is forever England. There
shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust
concealed.
Harold Tennyson also left letter
to his parents which contains some
noble sentiments:
81 have only done my duty as man
is bound to do and | have died with a
joyful spirit. Ny last thoughts were
how pleased you would be TO know
that in no other way could have bet
ter upheld the name o. Tennyson.'
Il is in such expressions as these
that we see the nobler side Of war,
it has a nobler side, because it has n
nobler element in its soldiery. Its
awfuness is made little less severe
because Of the light cast upon it BY
such men as these, who have gone
from the great universities into the
front line trenches.

Germany's Collapse

The collapse of the authority Of Ger.
many i'm the world of theoretica.
scholarship must have a tremendous
effect upon the educational status Of
the world. The average man, who has
not been especially interested in theo-
logical and philosophical matters, can
net understand what that authority
has been in the past. But scholars
have been looked up to BY virtue OF
the fact that they were German;
have long thought that the German
name secured far more respect in the
scholastic world than the logic Of a
mans position could ever secure, and

T ONION, Aug. 20.-In these days
l. educational centres Of Europe
present strange appearance, and one
who can see beneath the surface will
understand that matters of farreach-
ing importance are happening. ] have
been visiting the great universities
studying their towns, interviewing
their professors and trying to appre-
ciate the general situation as it con-
Germs their activity now and in the I'M
mediate future.
OF course, they are all practically
closed; very few lectures are beng
given and TIE number of students IN
residence IS almost negligible. Since
the outbreak of hostilities their stu
dents have been rushing 20 the co!ors,
and since the adoption OF conscription
the exodus from classic halls has been
all but universal.
One gets an interesting impression
as he wanders through the streets OF
oxford or Cambridge. The soldiers
are everywhere; one cannot escape
them; the courts, rooms and corridors
Of the great university buildings are
devoted to the use of the cadets, and
now they resemble garrisons or forts
more than colleges. The professors
have either gone away or they wander
about as if they were dazed.
Altogether the work of higher educa-
ton has been demorslized while the
nations are engaged in war. At the
Divinity School in Cambridge | was
told by the Regius Professor in Divini-
~ that when the last lectures were
given the attendance was four or five,
whereas the former attendance was
about 200. The situation here, if it be
remembered that the divinity students
should be the last TO volunteer, will
indicate something Of the prevailing
condition.

Kennedy glanced over at the de

at what they would think if they
could hear O'Connor's uncultured
opinion.

everything seems to be going as we'll
as we can expect. Don't forget to tell
Burke I'm here"

Kennedy waited impatiently. He
wanted to finish his job on the safe

and stopped it, yet there was always
a chance that Burke might turn up
something.

forehead, for it was real work direct

It was getting late and the service
was slackening up. / had some
trouble in getting a good connection

was overjoyed to hear O'Connor's
bluff, Irish voice bloom back at me-
Hello, Jameson" he called. Where
on earth are you? I've been trying
to get hold of Kennedy for couple OF
hours. Rockledge? Well, is Ken
nedy there? Put him on, will you?
called Craig and, as l did so, my
curiosity got the better of me and
sought out an extension of the wire
in a den across the hall from the
library, where l could listen in on
what was said.
Hello, O'Connor," answered Craig
Anything from Burke YETI"

II think he has clue. We found

OF course we don't know what the
message was, but anyhow she went
out to meet some one right after
that. The time corresponds with

ITO some it may seem 'hard-hearted
and unsympathetic' that hungry children
should not be given free lunches at school.
It is not denied that some children come
hungry and m-nourished to the White.
water and other schools Of the city. It is
true, however, that free lunches at school
would not reach the cause of this condition
which lies in the home, but would only
serve to aggravate it. Charitable giving
is, perhaps, necessary, but it Is plain that
it should be given through the home and
not to children 1t school. This IS entirely
feasible, under the conditions named
above, and is in accord with the experience
of Philadelphia and other cities where
such lunches have been served."-Supt. of
