minority reports of the University OF
Vermont Alumni committee on the
investigation of charges of un Amer
icanism preferred against Prof. Anton
Appelmann, professor of German and
German literature at the university,

tees OF the university. The majority
report finds that the charges prefer
red against Prof. Appelmann were
not sustained but the minority report
which is signed by Henry B. Shaw,
chairman of the investigating COM
mittee, finds that the accused was
guilty of un-Americanism in seeking
advice from Berlin as to how to con
duct himself while a citizen of the
United States.

break between the United States and

matter taken up.
The case against Prof. Appelmann
was based largely on correspondence
which passed between him and Dr..
Rohrback, who was head of the infor-
nation bureau OF the German navy at
New York, the complainants charging
that heBurlington man received in

the service of Germany and that he
was really under the orders of the
German government.

that DR., Rohrback was not authorized
by the German government to give in
structions to the accused and that
Prof. Appelmann should not be held
guilty of the charges. The majority

The Scottish Regiments

True to the old traditions,
Proud of the right to die,
They we're the first to answer
The stricken Empires cry.
From Berwick to the Orkneys,
Dumbarton to the Tweed,
They rose like old clan leaders
In the hour of Englands need.
Brave as the border chieftains,
Strong as their Highland glens,
Untamed and free as winds that blow
Ger heathered hills and fens.
Last to abandon the trenches,
First to heed the advance;
They fought and bled in Flanders,
Then fought and died in France.
The Black Watch and the Gordons
Contested each precious mile,
Side by side with the youngsters
From Sutherland and Argyll.
Seaforths charged like the Ghurkas,
Camerons, stood like the Guards,
The London Scottish paid the price
To gain q hundred yards.
Until the bagpipes cease to play
And the days OF strife are DER
Their names will live by lochs and
braes
From Dumfries to Ben Mhor.

trum most of the evening, the seats
and galleries being packed with spec

Mrs. b. r. Demeritt of Waterbury,
Miss Jennie Valentine of Bennington.
Mrs. A. b. Buell. of Burlington and

Mrs. Lawrence told the committee
that there were 100 women taxpay-

school matters. but only 274 register
