The Appelmann Case.

With the approach of a reopening Of
the college year, the case of Prof. Appel
mann OF the University of Vermont will
attract new attention. 1t is at an acute
stage now in Vermont Redfeld Proctor
recently resigned as trustee of the uni
versity, but declined to state, so far as
we have seen, whether his resignation
had any connection with the Appelmann
case
Prof. Appelmann is said to be popular
with the undergraduates. We are in
formed that he is of an agreeable per-
sonality. Nevertheless, we believe that
in such national situation as now eX-
lists his retention on the faculty of the
Vermont institution is injurious and I'M
fortunate. Prof. Appelmann, bending to
Of his continuance in the uni
versity's service, some time ago resigned.
At meeting of the trustees, from which
there were absences, his resignation was
and he remains on the faculty.
Prof. Appelmann has been closely CON
nected with German interests. He is an
exchange professor from Germany. His
sympathies are strongly German, of

course. Before the outbreak of the war,
he was intimately connected with the
pro-German propaganda. Documentary
evidence as to this has been presented.
We understand that Prof. Appelmann
has the strong support of the president
of the university. If this is so, we sug-
gest that the president resign at once.
1t is glaringly unfit that German, iden
titled with a proGerman propaganda of
malodorous description and which worked
VIGOROUSLY against the interests of the
United States, should now remain in
position of authority or influence over
young men of college age. We believe
his service and his influence in the Uni
versity of Vermont have greatly injured
the prestige of that institution, and that
the whole course of the state of Yer
mon, and the lukewarmness towards the
war shown on several occasions in that
state, is closely connected with the re-
tention of a German on the faculty of
the university. He should go at once.
If there are in authority at the univer-
sity influences determined upon his re-
tention, they should go, too, and imme-
diately.-Boston Record.

CURRENT COMMENT
sour War"

At no time in the past three years
has our country been foreign to this
war. Germany would long since have
bombarded our eastern cities had not the
British navy stood in her way.
She set out not for European con-
quest only, but for world conquest, and
she began at once to show her contempt
for our national rights and later to muir
der our citizens on the high seas and to
sink our ships.
She looks to us, as the richest of the
nations, to fill her Golfers. A German
professor has estimated that twenty bill
lions of dollars is to be the amount of
our contribution Certain it is that she
would heap indignity and humiliation
upon us to the limit if she should win
for she covets our wealth now as much
as she hates the English.
And if Germany wins, Great Britain
loses, and then the German navy is at
our doors. And, moreover, if she wins,
she will control our neighbors, Canada
and Mexico.
1t is certainly high time to awaken
to the fact that this is our war, and that
we are fighting in self defense. Mime

Also, for the Parker House ROLL

A cry goes up from Boston, Mace.
DOMAIN cry. The Parker House roll is
no more 1t has been sacrificed to the
exigencies of war time. The "wheatless
week" did it. Parker House rolls will
doubtless continue to be made for time
in various parts of the land; they have
not yet vanished from Philadelphia
breakfast tables. But how can they last
long, now that they have been repudiat-
ed in the place of their origin? There
are those who contend that they never
really fourished anywhere else. Like
the fshball, they suffered by Transplant
tation. That, however, seems to be
merely the argument of local pride. Bos-
tonians like to think that none else can
have what is theirs. Travellers will
admit that the Parker House roll did
not always live up to its name even in
Boston. Only deft hand can mix and
bake it properly. 1t must be light,
faky; above all it must be eaten hot
with plenty of butter. In geld state
it is apt to be soggy.
Were the original Parker House rolls
made at the Parker house, or were they
simply named from that celebrated hos
telry as guarantee of excellence? The
hard Vienna bread has superseded them
in most places of public resort. Perhaps
they have not been served on School
street for years. The Parker house
fourishes, but it is greatly changed from
the days of Harvey Parker. 1t is no
longer the exclusive annex to Harvard
college that it once was; there are more
hotels in Boston now, and patronage is
divided. Are the ancients and honor
ibles still faithful TO the traditions of
is well-appointed bar? Do they still
capture the long trench on every field
lay? It is not on record that they were
,ver much concerned about the Parker
House roll, though perhaps not unfa-
niliar with the Parker house reel. A

The action of Secretary Baker of the
war department concerning the issuing
of news pertaining to happenings to the
American expeditionary force now in
France will be welcomed everywhere in
the country. Secretary Baker pledges
himself to publish disasters to American
troops as promptly and fully as news
of more cheerful character. That is as
it should be. OF late the voluntary
censorship of the press has caused too
cautious suppression of news relating
to army movements and happenings.
