Due 10 many uncxcuscd absences
from drill. the members of the Rich
mond College battalion are now sub
jcct to formal sentence by court
martial for such delnqucncies.
When military was introduced as part
OF the college curriculum each student
was allowed his own liberty in de-
Gliding whether or not he would take
the class. There was at first no speci-
fed punishment for offenders. except a
report to the officers in charge. The
first general order was posted in Oc-
tobcr, and required that delinqucnts
should walk one hour OF penalty tour
on Saturday afternoon for each days
drill missed during the week. 1t
seems to be uncertain as to whether or
not this form of punishment will still
be exercised.
In spite Of the pcnalty-tour rcgula-
tons, absences became so regular on
the part of some Of the students who
had signed for the class that il became
81 question with the battalion officers
whether military would be strictly en-
forced or whether there would be no
class at all. The matter was taken
up with the college authorities. il is

Of trustees for consideration.

POWER OF. GOVERNMENTAL
WILD BE AIADI, ADSOLIrI,E

The president was out of the city
yesterday, but on his return Will sum-
Marie the decision of the board Of
trustees and will have them posted as
a general order on Thursday.
Major J. Randolph Tucker. command
ant OF the battalion. said yesterday
that, III his opinion. this action will
not transform Richmond College into
an orthodox military school In spite
Of this fact, the power invested in the
court, MA rt:a board seems TO be an
soiu;e. The first test case tried show ed
that the board had the power to en-
force compulsory drill upon every man
in college, except those who have be-
come physically unfit after their first
medical examination and those who
have secured previous excuses from
TIE president.
while it is not fact at present
that Il dismissa! from the battalion
Will be a practical dismissal from COL

to say that this Will be the case next

DR.. Parsons gave n very humorous
description OF the appearance Of some
500 girls In 4 college where he had re-
Gently lectured. the utter lack Of art In
their clothes and the expression OF
imbeility given to the face by some OF
the modern fashions In hair dressing.
Not because it's hair" he said. but
because 1t spoils the head. Nothing is
more interesting, of all things oh earth,
than an intelligent face. and 1t is really
an outrage to spoil the art Of it by n
mode of hair dressing"
DISCUSSES LAWS HANDED
DOWN FOR GENERATIONS
Art is a state of mind built by living
In it and associating with 1t. There is
an art in making pictures and an art
in doing dishpans. Some people just
don't understand. like those who dress
for the theater in the morning, they
seem quite unconscious that they are
not properly Gowned for another oc-
casion.
DIR. Parsons concluded his address
with four decorative laws of Leonardo
ID incl, winch nave Dccn in use by the
| Italians since the Renaissance. First,
decoration can only go whore the space
! iato which It is going Is calling loudly
for it: second. 10 decoration must be
| placed where it can interfere with use;
third decoration must follow structure
and make the thing stronger. and last.
! decorative materials must be consistent
with what they decorate.
Education Is adjusting people to the

! When the wcr is over we will furnish
the world with things. We've been
getting them from Europe. but they

of creating things worthy of the great
nation we are.

NOT A PLAUSIBLE LIAR.

"An eminent Swedish journalist" who has just re-
turned to Sweden from Germany says Germany is far
from starving. He then tells what he was able to get
on a dining car on his way out of the country, the meal
costing him in the equivalent of our money, IS cents.
Among the things he mentions is y abundance of white
bread. 1t is apparent this eminent Swedish Journalist"
was told befor che left Germany what to say along this
line, and was in addition perhaps well paid for saying it.
The Prussian is a generous liar, remarkably prolific in
subterfuge, but is woefully lacking in realism. He is def
Gent in the artistic temperament necessary to make a
successful and plausible liar. Had the eminent Swedish
supposedly neutral, but financially influenced
to pro-Germanism, left out that part of the story about
an abundance of white bread, some might have taken his
story as partly true. He Over-lied and gave his yarn
away for the German leaders admit there is scarcity of
bread of any kind. The riots in Austria were caused by
bread shortage, and the failure to have the situation bet
tered as promised after the treaty with Ukraine, and the
taking over of the wheat stocks in Rumania. The album
dance of white bread was an after-thought Of the "emin-
ent Swedish journalist, calculated to emphasize the album
dance of food stuffs in Germany. The story is for allied
consumption and would not be accepted as the truth in
Germany. The story there would go no further than the
white bread which so impressed the eminent Swedish
journalist" But why should the Associated Press dis
siminate such German propaganda, through papers like
the Oregonian? Is somebody getting paid for it, and if
so, who?
