GRAIN SORGHUMS

WASHINGTON. d. c., March g
Although the protein of the grain
sorghums has been shown by diete-
tic experiments OF the office of home
economics of the United States de-
partment of agriculture TO be less
digestible than that of corn or

kaoliang furnish a fairly good
source of protein and practically as
good a source of carbohydrates as
the two grains in most general use.

Presidents Of Clubs in Philadel-
phia Association to Discuss
Suggestion This Week
S G H E D ULES HELD UP
Clubhouses May Be Used for Hospitals
and Homes for Con-
valescents
SCHEDULES HELD UP

Whether the clubhouses and hundreds Of
acres of turf held by the thirty golf clubs
In the Golf Association Of Philadelphia will
be turned over TO the Government for drill
grounds and ri enranges will be. discussed
on Wednesday at a meeting Of the presi-
dents of all clubs in the association. Pend
ing a decision on the plan the Golf Asso-
citation has withheld confirmation Of the
schedules of inter-club tournaments to be
played this summer.
The suggestion Is understood to have
originated with Robert W. Lesley, presi-
dent of the association. The United states
Golf Association, made up Of virtually every
golf club in the country. Is said to be in
terested in the plan, also many OF the
clubs in the Philadelphia Association have
been sounded on the proposition. but thus
far, officially, there has not been gathered
sufficient information to base forecast
on the success of the suggestion. Though
many club presidents are said to favor the
idea. others believe there Is not yet neces-
sity for offering the golf courses for mill
tary training grounds II was also the
idea to give up the clubhouses for hos
pitfalls and convalescent homes.
The golf association membership includes
clubs in territory In and about Philadel-
hia and South Jersey as far east as At
lantic City. Presidents of the clubs will hear
the plan in detail at the meeting in the
Racquet Club Wednesday at 80. and will
then refer it to their memberships for ac-
tion. Having received their instruction
from the individual clubs they will meet
later and take final action,

LAUDS RULE OF BELGIUM
Germans Strictly Observe Articles of
War, Prof. Liszt Declares

CoinCident with the renewal of charges
in the allied and neutral press that the
German authorities in the occupied districts
Of France and Belgium are continually
violating the rules of international law by
their forcible removal of Thousands of the
civilians in that territory. In some cases to
Germany, to compel them to work in fac
tories and on the land comes Professor
Franz Won Liszt, of the University Of Berlin,
with a long article in the Frankfurter
Zetung headed, How Germany Builds Up
International Law in War"
Professor Liszt, who Is a member of
the Reichstag and the author of many
works on international law and kindred
subjects. tells those who maintain that this
war is bringing about the collapse Of all
International rights that they have only to
visit the enemy territory occupied by Ger
many and there to investigate the spirit
animating the German Administration. They
will see International law held in the highest
esteem they will see the civil and military
authorities observing with meticulous care
every provision of the Articles of War.
Professor Liszt was recently In Brussels
to attend a legal conference, and never in
his long experience. he declares has he
seen international law so high In repute or
so dominating the public conduct of an
administration. After a lengthy panegyric
on the lofty spirit animating the German
administrators in Belgium, Professor Liszt,
quoted in the London Daily Chronicle,
goes on to say:
German military power In the occupied
territory has two souls within its breast.
In the first place, the administration is
German, representative Of the German i'm
perium, and therefore, In the first place,
responsible for the military interests of Ger
many. This responsibility must be enforced
in all directions. and even when necessary
it must be enforced ruthlessly against the
inhabitants Of Belgium. But 1t is also at
the same time the power of the Belgian
State, even though exercised by the occupy
ing army 1t has been the German aim TO
create new institutions whose influence will
reach beyond the period Of occupation"
Admitting that this is a very difficult
task the Professor declares that the Ger
man object has been to preserve as much
as possible the interests of the Belgian
people by establishing just administration.
But the difficulty of constructing a system
which unites all these objects is immense
In all their efforts, however, the German
Administration. according to the writer has
never been arbitrary, and has always been
inspired by the spirit Of justice Professor
Liszt says he is convinced that a time will
come when the German work in Belgium
will be appreciated and when it's quiet un-
sefishness will receive the gratitude of the
world

The Vast Literature of athematics

A recent address by Prof. T. E. Mason
called attention to the immense amount of
mathematical research that is going on in
the world, as evidenced by the growth of
mathematical literature. The mathematical
subject index of the Royal Society Cata-
logue Of Scientific Papers" which covers the
literature of the nineteenth century alone,
contains ss,74s entries. G. Valentin, of Ber-
lin, has collected list Of 10000 titles of
books and articles published before the be-
ginning of the twentieth century. The
Jahrbuch uber die Fortschritte der Mathe.
metik constitutes a yearly volume of about
1000 pages. containing very brief reviews
of books and papers published In about 200
serials. A very conservative estimate would
place the number of contributions TO mathe-
matics published each year at about 1000,
not including works that contain no new
matter. 1t is estimated that during the first
fifteen years of the present century the
published results of mathematical research
amount to about ons-afth as much as dur
ing all time before ,..
