SCIENCE AT WAR

Never before in history have sci
entists and educators gone to the
lengths of cutting off intercourse with
fellow scientists and educators In en-
envy countries as they have In this
war. The conflict had not gone on
for many weeks before the. French
Academy took steps to expel Its Ger
man members English institutions
took a similar course and now, two
weeks ago, the Germans were barred
from Rhodes scholarships by an act
of parliament. This step would have
been taken long ago had not legal
complications prevented. These have
been set aside by parliament. Under
Cecil Rhodes will five Germans were
appointed by the Kaiser to the bene-
fits Of the scholarships. The South
African statesman was an admirer OF
the German Emperor and sought to
strengthen the relations between Ger
many and England.

PATRICK HENRY

Tn the thick of national crises the
ability to persuade others is the
strongest. power an individual can
WELD Such a power was Patrick
Henry,s. His words burned home
and made the hearts of his auditors
blaze with the emotions upon which
he called. It is interesting to note
that the country with which we are
now allied and in close friendship was
the one against which he poured out
his wrath: Or rather it was against
the German King of that country,
england, that he directed his memoir
able speech.
From the earlier disagreements
with the mother country his influ-
ence was all for the preservation and
extension of colonial liberties. He
was born May 9, 1886. In 1853, a
youns man not yet thirty, he became
a member of the Virginia House OF
Burgesses. The stamp act had ex-
cited the people. Young Henry, with
a presumption which angered many
of his maturer colleagues, offered re-
solutions setting forth the rights OF
the colonies In the debate he sud
denly uttered the words Caesar hae
| his Brutus, Charles the First hi:
Cromwell, and George the Third =

"A clamor arose, and cries Of Urea

continued:

Thus began the public life of a
man whose youth had been most I'M
promising in its slovenliness and lazi-
ness, who had failed at farming and
at business, and who had succeeded at
law only after dubious beginning
which was turned into triumph by a
quite un1ooked-for burst of elo-
quence. His services to his country
continued until his voluntary retire
ment from public life in 1884,, at the
age of fifty-five. subsequently
Washington and Adams offered him
high offices, but Henry declined suc-
eessively to be United States Sena-
tor, Secretary of State, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court or Minister to
France In 1879. urged by Washing
| ton, he consented to be elected to the
Virginia legislature, but died June g.
before taking his seat.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
OF THE CROWN JEWELS

This day, in the year 1911, witness |
tempts at robbery recorded in the
annals of crime. The principal char
acter was Thomas Blood, whose father
was a wealthy iron master under the
reign of Charles the First. Blood
attempted to steal the crown jewels
of England. When the Civil war
broke out Blood .espoused the cause
of Parliament and rose to the rank
of colonel. At the restoration he was
penniless. He bore a bitter grudge
against the Duke of Ormond, lord
lieutenant of Ireland. In 1868 he
formed a plot to surprise Dublin Cas-
| tie and seize the duke. This plot was
discovered before 1t could be carried
out He roamed about for several
years and finally established himself
\ in London where he posed as ply
sician. In 1870 he made an attempt
on the life of the Duke of Ormond
The Duke was held up at night by
six masked men, headed by Blood, but
managed to escape. A reward of a
thousand pounds was put on Bloods
! head but in vain. A few months later
Blood formed the design upon the
Crown Jewels. They were at the time
in care of an aged keeper named Tai
bot Edwards. Blood made his ac-
quaintance by visiting the Tower,
where the jewels were kept, in the
guise of q parson, and with a woman,
who posed as his wife. The woman,
while inspecting tho regalia with
Blood, pretended to be taken i'll and
was treated with great kindness by
Edwards and his wife, who lived on
the premises. A few days later
Blood returned with a present for the
keeper Of the Tower. Thus began an
| intimate friendship. It was not Ions
after that Blood brought two COM
panions to the Tower to view the
Jewels. All of them carried conceal
ed weapons The keeper was over
powered and Blood concealed the
crown under his cloak while his com
panions took the orb and sceptre. The
