UNITED STATES AND SCIENCE
Activities Of Entire World centered
on This Country and Interest
Expected to Continue.

every few people realize that the
scientific activities of the world are
centering in the United States, and
that they will doubtless continue to
do so If material means be given to
keep up the work." said Father Charles
B. Moulinier, regent of the Marquette
university school of medicine, in re-
cent interview in the Marquette Trib-
une.
South America, for instance. is now
looking to us for scientific leadership.
China and Japan are once more turn
ing TO us. Great attention is being
paid to medicine in South America,
Buenos Aires alone having a medical
school with 5000 students.
"The Wistar institute of anatomy, in
Philadelphia, is one of the most de-
cisive factors in turning the attention
of the scientific world to the United
States. This institute has an endow-
ment which makes it possible TO give
large service to mankind. Just now 1t
is printing copious translated extracts
from the medical journals published
and sending them to China and Japan.
Duplicates of the journals are also
sent to South America.
"a great deal of research work is
being done by this school in the direc-
tion of discovering dyes. Certain
chemical dyes, formerly produced only
by Gruebler of Germany, are required
in technical work. Wistar is now pro-
Gucing dyes the equal of Gruebler's.
ut may be interesting to know that
much of this research work has been
done by young Philadelphian who
delved Into chemistry for his own
pleasure and experimental in his pri-
vate laboratory. Wistar hearing of
some remarkable discoveries made by
him Immediately called him to the in
stitute, placing Its facilities at his dis
posal for this important work.

"She Stoops to Conquer" grew out
of an incident that occurred In Gold

wag directed him to gentlemnns $
private residence. There he went, or
Iered out his horse. demanded the best

ally gave himself airs. He did not
discover his mistake until the next
morning when he was about to pay

TO shift Blame
Hun Had His Alibi Working in
Advance of Note.
Claims Allies Are to Blame for
His Atrocities.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Apparently
anticipating President Wilson's ex-
preston of amazement and horror at
the destruction being practieed by
withdrawing German armies in occu-
pied territories, the German spokes-
men are now trying frantically to shift
the blame for this upon their enemies
in the field.
broadcast Monday and picked up here
quotes Foreign Secretary SoIf in an
interview as saying:
Especially hateful is the ever-re-
peated charge that we are laying
waste as we withdraw intentionally
and systematically. the occupied
French territory.
TT is untrue that German troops
have slaughtered the wounded, inten-
tionally blown up hospitals and
schools, robbed churches and commit
ted other crimes against enemy pris-
oners and population of the occupied
districts"
He then says the destruction is ''un-
avoidable" solely to prevent points of
considerable military value" going to
the enemy. He registers deep feeling
at the great sacrifice in food, etc, Ger.
man garrisons must make to aid refu-
gees. fleeing from the rain of allied
shells. -t - :
The wireless tells in another part of
"the greatness of the part which Eng
land is playing (by grenades and
guns) in laying waste to France and
Belgium"
The wanton German destruction of
Cambria is laid entirely to the allies
by the German wireless. 49,

Have No Flu Cases.
At the present time there are some
spare beds in the Washburn S. A. IT.
C. hospital. There are no flu cases at
all, and but two infectious cases,
mumps. One or two of the patients
are gridiron heroes who have felt the
weight of a mans boot and are in a
slightly bruised up condition. All of
the others are merely bad colds.
Doctor Jeffrey and Captain Shaw
take no chances on sick men. When
a man feels the slightest bit sick he is
ordered to report for sick call. If the
case is a cold he is promptly sent to
the hospital and measures are taken TO
cure him. The idea is that if the cold
is incipient flu that the prompt relief
will stave off the disease.
AS far as the only civilian who has
been thru the Washburn college S. A.

have any fear that the boys at the
college Elm any danger of not get
ting the proper care.

Sawcd-On Shotgun Brings Terror to
Hun Heart
BY PETER P. CARNEY.

d PETER r Carmel.
Germany has CURLY informed the
United States that any American taken
prisoner who has a shotgun or shot
gun ammunition on his person will
forfeit his life.
This is just the same as informing
the United States government that
they do not like the trench guns
TheSe Americans learned to use shot
guns at the gun club and were pro-
ficient In scattering the shot before
joining the colors.
The trench gun does an irrepara BILE
amount of damage to the German
cause. We might insert at this point
that the German cause is not a wholly
popular one in the United States.
German kultur gloated over the in
vention of poison gas, the cutting off
of hands and arms of children, ETC.,
but when the Americans bring into the
war nice little ubduer in the trench
shotgun the Germans cry "barbarians'
at US. This brings to mind that old
and true remark. there is no account
ing for tastes" etc.
Kaiser Bill, Won Hindy ct al, didn't
figure that the United States would
cut much of a figure in this war They
were assured of this by Won Tirpitz.
But when the Americans opened gaps
in the German lines at Seicheprey, in
April. with shotguns. and have been
doing II ever since. the German gen.
eral staff now pays us due attention.
The boys-speaking by and large
are delivering the goods as per sched-
/ ule. Uncle Sam is the best messenger
in the world.
This editorial. from the Philadelphia
Inquirer of September %. voices
Americas sentiments:
above everything else. it Is said,
our short-barreled shotguns hurt the
Huns feelings the worst, but at that
we didn't issue those cute little lead
sprayers to amuse him, and while their
use may not be gentlemanly, this war,
owing to the manner in which it has
been conducted by the 'boches.' is not
q gentleman's game. and we have an
the best they can under the circum-
stances"
