difference of opinion" said the father,
who was giving advice to his newly
married son, land you are unable to
persuade her that you are right you
must compromise. To illustrate my

And how did you compromise,

 On the train which was fitted with vestibUle gates each division was en-
 trained in two cars, under the lead ership of selected man. Some of the men in their exhuberance at seeing friends rushed from the plat forms. They were soon hauled back by force and placed in the cars. The sight of the American flag, carried by the Fourth division brought three cheers from the east platform and the train when it made an appearance.
 Joseph Thackery, employed in a Fairfield avenue cigar store, appeared at the train with 1000 cigars which he distributed among the men. A Grand Army delegation consist ing of Comrades Sanger, Skerritt. Purdy. Hale, Curtis and Waite went through the train bidding god-speed and good luck to all the men. They had difficulty in extricating them steps when the cars were put in mo- ton.
 Many men forced themselves
 through the ropes to give lunches to
 those hands in whom they were in-
 terested. A parade of nearly 50 wo- men marched down Water street and stormed the station entrance where it's
 ranks were broken up by the police.
 much to the disgust and chagrin of
 the women. They eventually found
 means of access to the platform a1- though in separated groups.
 In the struggle to get last glimpse Eof their beloved ones. the farewell shouts and cries of various sorts were almost drowned in the general noise.
 Goodbye Jim'', Were For America '' "On to Berlin q Want to see my
 Wife, Officer,'' Where Is my suit
 case, mother?" Were for the army
 and not for the navy" America for all; all for America,'' and similar shouts and cries mingled into one
 great roar as the train shot out of sight upon the main track. A man forced between the vestibule of the eighth and ninth cars and held by the hands of dozen embryo sol diers was rescued by two policemen who managed to pull him clear of the wheels.
 The second division carried a fox terrier mascot. olive drab in color, marked with white. He was well harnessed with the division armlet and leash of red, white and blue rib bon.
 The division, which was led by the exemeption board members, was en- trained under the direction of San ford Stoddard, who used a megaphone to good effect in directing the march es of the various contingents as they arrived below the station platform Uniforms of the navy, the army and the home guard were seen freely amidst the crowd of enthusiastic we'll lwishers who came to the trains. These men were placed in charge of the men from the various divisions in accordance with government regu- lation and will be responsible to the war department for delivery of the men at Camp Devans:

We do not happen to be advised
what is the speciality of Prof. Williams
Of the university Of North Carolina,
but certainly the remarks quoted from
him in an editorial reproduced in Mon
days Rohesonian from the States
vile Landmark do neither his learn
ing nor his patriotism credit. II he
sees in the entrance Of the United
States into the war only "that same
principle which actuates one boy to
strike another when one, has stepped
upon the others toe" it would seem
to be advisable for the university
aside from calling him down for un-
patriotic talk, to prod him into using
his supposed learning to better pur-
pose than making ridiculous remarks
like that. In his quoted remarks he
talks like a man who thinks he has
lifted himself by his bootstraps to a
calm eminence where he can view and
comment upon the antics Of a naughty
world with condescension, much as q
grown man might philosophise upon 9
| game of marbles which naughty boys
had broken up in a row. The proper
punishment for him would be for his
mama to take him across her knee anc
use slipper on him; and the univer
sity, whether his alma mater or not
is responsible for him as foster par
ent, and ought to administer the prop
er dose, even at this late day.
