NO CONCERN OF AMERICA
If German People Maintain Their Hohen-

The following abstract of President
Benton's opening address was read by
Acting President Perkins at the formal
opening OF the University Of Vermont at
Burlington on Wednesday, Oct. 10, Presi-
dent Benton being now engaged in war
work in France:
These should be days of personal and
national humiliation. The man who four
years ago thought himself able to inter-
pref the spirit of the age. if honest with
himself, sill admit that his understand
ing was darkened Those who declared
wars to be relics of barbarism which
would never be restored are humbed in
the presence of the greatest world cata-
clysm known to the records Of time.
That which seemed to be the wisdom Of
yesterday in the light of to-day appears
to have been most unwarrantable ego
tism. Those whom we thought to be
sages and prophets seem now to have
been only astrologers and soothsayers.
The governments that we thought i'm
pregnable have fallen easy prey to at
lacking armies; those we thought honor
able have shown themselves dishonor-
able; those we thought weak have chal-
lenged our admiration by their manifes-
tations of strength.
The effort to make intelligent inter-
probation of the times in which we live
is commendabe but, after all, the SUI

BABY HIDDEN
nv STAIRCASE
Child of ]. Holland Keet, Missouri Bank
er, Was Put in Cistern After
Being Starved.

Marshfeld, Mo-, Oct. ll.--Evidenee Civ
en- here in the trial of Claude j. Piersol
charged with kidnapping the infant son
of J. Holland Keet, banker, told of a
circular staircase in the middle of the
old Crenshaw mansion, used as hiding
place for the child.
For several days following the theft
of the baby from its crib on the night
of May 80, it was related, the child was
kept in this staircase, which is three
stories in height and built from attic to
cellaf of the old house. Clothing of the
baby was found at the bottom of the
staircase.
From this hiding place, it is assumed,
the child was taken when it was hurled
into the cistern on the Crenshaw place,
where its dead body was found. A
Springfield physician, testifying regard
ing the cause of the babys death, said
it must have been a victim of exposure
starvation or violence, because of the
fact there was no water in the child's
lungs when it was found,
Mrs. keet, mother of the dead baby,
in identifying the clothing taken from
the mysterious staircase in which the
child was kept before its death, nearly
collapsed. She was allowed to leave the
stand temporarily.
George Walker, chauffeur, yesterday
told of a conversation he had with Cletus
Adams, who is under arrest for com
plicity in the kidnapping plot. He said
he asked Adams if he had heard anything

German people wish to continue the
