Slavs rose against these foreign masters

themselves. and conditions become SC

To verify this historical note refer to
the invaluable Encyclopedia Britannica y
The Savs Of the linen forests were tho
ancestors OF the Slavs who now inhabit
that part of Russia. It Is an impressive
fact that today we see these descendants

belief on my part, but hold it very
strongly, that the United States and
ourselves two great cousin nations, are
even by themselves in position to

the pledges that we have given"
This was one OF the assertions made
by Sir Edward Carson. minister with
out portfolio in the British war cabinet
at meeting here for the purpose Of
launching a society to promote closer
relations with Rumania. Although
speaking under the shadow OF the news
Of an armistice on the Rumanian front,
Sir Edward declared that the entente
allies would continue in their determi-
nation to carry out their duty toward
Rumania. q
II know of no end to this war that Is
possible without maintaining the rights
Of Rumania and Serbia just as much
as the rights of Great Britain and her
empire" said Sir Edward II repeat the
determination of his majesty's govern
ment that we will go on to the end with
unity until we have attained the OBJ

war. With our help Serbia. Rumania

prospect OF the establishment Of univer-

pressure would be brought to bear upon

DR.. Sanford took occasion to rap the

alleged intellectual pursuits as an excuse
for avoiding the responsibilities of work.
Americas entrance in the world conflict
Is regarded by the college presidents as
significant OF a more highly standardized
college course.
After the war our colleges wih have
to conform to tho standard Of the best

ford. "'lhe graduates Of American cool

Physicians, Deaths.

AS an example of how malicious and
seemingly innocent is German propa-
ganda in the United States may be
cited the rumors and the actual facts
about mortality among the allied
physicians at the western front
Recently the actual statistics We're
produced, which showed that the bat
tie risks of a physician are scarcely
more than those of civil life. Between
the beginning of the war and June 25,
1917, only 1915 French and English doc
tors have been killed, 7O7 wounded and
62 cut down by disease.
