"The college man is fresh from his
studies Of the great principles Of ethics
and philosophy which thus far have
guided the world in its march toward

sage. "As he knows the mainsprings
Of human greed and avarice, so is he
familiar with the sources OF human
right, Justice and liberty which have
preserved and protected mankind. He
should understand and recognize the
forces which make for the destruction
Of these principles, however they may
be disguised. To him the alleged be-
nificent elements Of Prussianism are
the thinnest veneer over hideous prfn-

IRISH UNREST
CAUSES ALARM
FOR BRITISH
Sim Feiners Organizing and
Gathering Munitions for
Threatened Struggle.

London. Feb. 8.-Nobody knows
what the next day viii bring forth in
Ireland, but everyone Is hoping there
will be no -Sepetition of the bloody
scenes Of Easter Week nearly two
years ago.
The fact that the government has
established martial law in County
Clare. where the Sinn Feiners have
committed repeated acts of lawless-
ness is proof OF the seriousness of
the situation.
Secret Military Trainlng.
For months the Sim Feiners have
been organising. seizing rifles from
constables, stealing guns from private
houses. and taking possession Of farm
lands and dividing It among them
selves like 50 many Bolsheviki, and
military drills and lectures on military
tactics have been held secretly. No
large outbreak occurred, the lawless-
ness consisting largely of petty Of
fenses, each more reckless than the
last. ..-
In Dublin the Sim Feiners estab-
lished what practically amounts 10 a
provisional government. They have
interfered with the shipments Of food
to England and ignored the war reg
ulations.
Little Hurt by War.
Meanwhile the sessions of the Irish
convention are being held and the
government has kept its hands on
Ireland. Here IL a country which
suffers probably less from the war
than any bit Of Europe, but contains
all the elements Of unrest In their
most acute form.
ireland is Indefinitely better OF
economically than England, 1t has lost
fewer men by the war, 1t has prac-
tically none of England's exasperat-
ing but necessary war regulations
Behind the pressure Of war ex-
igencIes back the Sim Feiners are
trying to make Q republic out of Ire
land and. falling that, such complete
severance from British rule as is en-
joyed by practically a separate state.
A crisis in Irish affairs Is rapidly ap-
preaching. but there is still hope for
compromise.

There's q Reas0n.

Although Bernie Jeffries wouldn't
tell the court why he threw a rock
through the window of the house
where Pauline Winston lived, it
was easy to see why he did it..
Last Wednesday afternoon Ber-
ME got OF from work. He went
straight to Pauline's house for a
little social call.
When he got to the front door
he saw Pauline and a young man
sitting in the parlor talking.
Hurrying over to a tree box he
picked up a nice little rock and
let loose with it, narrowly missing
the man who was seated on the
same sofa with Pauline.
Pauline's mother had him arrest
ed. She didn't like him. anyhow, it
seemed. Neither did Bernie like
her.
He refused to talk about his of
fense. He admitted throwing the
rock and was ready to take his
medicine.
Pauline could give no explanation,
either, although she hinted that
Bernie might have been a little
jealous.
Fifteen dollars fine for him.

OUR MILITARY CAMP

The military instruction camp at
the college. is in full motion and is
accomplishing wonderful results al
ready. Not only is the technical in
struction being carried on with steady
progress, but the military instruction
is also getting the men in shape very
fast. After only five days in the
camp the men were brought out by
the officers on Friday evening at the
ambulance entertainment and made
a wonderfully fine appearance. No
one could have believed that these
men Lad been strangers to military
drill and marching only five days be-
fore.
Guard has been established and
men are posted around the campus
every evening at six and remain on
duty until six in the morning. This
is for the purpose OF keeping unau-
thorized people out Of the camp and
buildings and Is a military necessity
in operation at all camps. Those per-
sons who have business on the
grounds or in the buildings between
these hours are supplied with passes
to enable them to pass the guard.
Prof. H. B. Mathews, head of the in
struction, and Capt. r. w. Hotchkiss,
the commandant. issue these passes
and only grant them to persons hav-
ing actual business within the lines
in the hours named. Autos contain
ing persons without pass will not be
allowed on the grounds. Medary av-
enue is a public t~horoughfare and
there is no intention to restrict traf.
fc or travel, but it Is expected that
all autos and persons, using the pub
lie highway, will not loiter along but
keep moving about their business.
The Register is authorized to make
this explanation to the public by the
commandant, and the residents OF
Brookings are not an exception to
any rule, but rather this is the gen.
eral procedure at all military posts
and camps.
