faculty committee with large discre-
tonary powers has, in connection
with President w. H. P. Faunce and
the board of fellows, been working
out reorganization policy for the
period of the war in order to bring
the curriculum to the highest point
Of efficiency. The recommendation
of the committee are to go into effect
in September of this year. The pith
Of the report is contained in the
phrase, "Aggressive adoption, not
passive retrenchment."
Hereafter in place Of a two-terIn
system with q long summer vacation,
the college year will have three terms
Of sixteen weeks each, so as to enable
its undergraduates to complete the
four years work within three years,
if they so desire. Especial stress
will be placed on training officers for
the army and navy. This fall, with
the approval Of the navy department,
IL naval unit will be organized with
Rear Admiral John r. Edwards as
commandment, and courses will be
given that will prepare for ensign's
examinations. This is one Of the verv
few college naval units in the United
States. Every freshman, physically

much excitement when it was ascer-
tanned that there was q British subma-

crew could hear the enemy submarine,
and the Germans feared she was going
to attack us. We submerged and
eventually lodged the British vessel.

In line with the same policy the
usual courses in the curriculum have
been carefully revised, so as to rem

of fitting him for some branch or
other or national service, ard at the

POWER APASSION
STILL in PRUSSIA
Captured Officer Yet Convinced
Kaiser Will Be Victorious

London, Aug. 2, (Correspondence
Of The Associated Press) despite
their four years of fighting, some of
the German prisoners Of war still
are obsessed by the German idea of
conquering the world. That unadul-
terated Prussianism still exists in the
German ranks is the conclusion of
one British officer who has inter-
viewed a number of the German pris-
oners. One of them he describes as
IAN intelligent university man." The
British officer quotes their conversa-
ton as follows:
I do not wish to insult you" said
the German, but you English are

govern the fools; the fools govern
you"
"Your principles are sweeping"
replied the Briton ITO come down

THAT is hardly your official view"
THE official view is for the fools.''
But you believe in tho Prussian
purpose behind all this?" asked the
British officer.
81 do, as in nothing else" replied
the German. 1.-THE Prussian purpose
is God. There is no other. Russia
will rend the veil of the temple but
she will destroy to create. Against
Prussian might the world as it exists
today will fall in ruins, but Prussia
will build a better and more virile
world in its place. Strength only will
survive. The life of men is naturally
a fight. The strongest in force and
cunning will live"

But the man was genuine in his be-

Arizona republican., 1918-09-09

The twilight of the campaign is upon us, and the setting sun finds Fred T. Colter unshaken from the impregnable position of honor and endearment that he has occupied in the hearts of his native people. While others have snarled and clutched at him in their vain at- tacks upon his enviable place in the gubernatorial race, Senator Colter has refused to be deterred or misled from the course he charted for himself long before the first gun was fired in the present race for governor.
 While others have sought to be- cloud the real issue at hand-while they have tried to hide their own purposes by taking refuge behind protestations of lone hundred per cent Americanism" - while they have tried to ward off embarass- ing questions by setting up futile wolf" cries of l. w. w. and kin dred ''isms," Senator Colter has steadfastly hewn to the line of a greater Arizona through the eman- cipation of our state government from selfish interests of Whatso- ever nature.
 This, and this alone, has been the theme of his campaign. It is this, and this alone, that has motivated his record in those public offices he has so creditably held in his native state. And 1t is this great

principle that impells him to come before you as candidate for gov- ernor of Arizona.
 While his opponents have been merely skimming along. the sur face, Senator Colter has gone down to bed rock in building his foundation for a legislative and administrative structure upon which a greater Arizona can be built.
 Recall, if you will, the claims of each of the democratic candidates for governor. Compare those of his opponents with those of MT. Colter. The elimination of 1. w. W.-ism and the development of acid-test Americanism are but part of MT. Golfers political creed. And III thls most important re- spect he has far out-stripped his opponents. They have use@ these issues merely to camouflage tfeir underlying purposes.
 They have made the mistake of confusing puny details with great essentials.

Recruiting District, at the farewell
banquet rendered the men in Mime

The Governor thanked Major Yost and
his force on behalf Of the state for the
manner in which they brought Mime

Recruiting Districts of the nation.
Practically all members of the de-
tachment were called on by Major
Yost for short talks. During the
course of the evening Major Yost was
presented with silver loving cup by
the men of his command, and Lieut..
Da Costa, Assistant Recruiting Of
fcer, was presented with a silver
mounted riding crop, both gifts being
suitably engraved. Major Yost shared
the honors which have been heaped on
the Minnesota District with the men
who have aided him in, his work, and
paid high tribute to the NEWSPAPERS of
the state when he said: -"the founda-
ton Of our success in this state is the

Civilian Recruiting Committees
were also given due credit for the
work they have done, by Major Yost.

the work in the state.
