NEW ENGINEERS FOR
 EARLY WAR SERVICE

Troy, N. Y, Feb. Tine Rensse- laer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest American engineering school, has talk en the initiative among the technical colleges of the country to provide ad- ditional trained engineers for war service advancing the graduation of this years class to May and, through continuous summer session, prepare the 1919 class for graduation January next, six months ahead of the time ordinarily required to complete the course.
 The members of the faculty have volunteered for all-year-round in struction and the Board of Trustees has placed the Institute upon a strict ly war basis. This change will af- feet about 300 upper-class students. More than 500 graduates and students are already in war service in this country and France, or more than twenty per cent. of the living gradu- ates and undergraduates.
 l Furthermore, in compliance with the request sent to the engineering l and technical schools of the country, President Palmer c. Ricketts has no tified the Federal War Board for Vo- 1 cational Education that the Rensse- laer Polytechnic offers to provide spe- cial summer courses of from three to five months of technical training for
 400 to 500 soldiers to be selected al various Armly cantonments. It was originally purposed to give this special training at the Army camps, but it was found that it would cost the gov
 ernment at least $100,O00,000 for ap-
 paratus alone, therefore the Board fol
 Vocational Training decided to take
 advantage of the facilities already provided in the leading technical schools. While primarily engag ged in teaching science and engineering, the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute is
 willing to help the government by adapting it's facilities to special train ing of soldiers as radio operators, ga.
 engine men, chauffeurs, telegraphers switchboard men, cable splicers, pat tern makers and the like, in addition to the various branches of civil, me-
 chanical and electrical engineering
 draughting and chemistry.

SEES WELFARE OF THE WORLD
 FACING TRIAL


 Farm Loan Commissioner)
 Where should we go to trial in a case in which our most sacred inter ests are at stake? In one place only. We should appear in the court where the great issue is on trial.
 The welfare of the whole world is on trial in France today. Germany has set out to make herself mistress of the world, just as Napoleon did in his day. Germany must be fought where there is a chance of defeating her, just as Napoleon had to be fought hundred years ago. When the na- tions gathered at Leipsic to give him his first defeat, that was the proper place to fight Napoleon. When they came together again to give him his final overthrow at Waterloo, that was the exact place to meet the great Cor sican.
 It was a home fright for every na- tion arrayed in arms against him. If any one of them had said, "We will wait until Napoleon comes to our gates or our shores; when he comes we will fight him; until then it is not our fight,'' that nation would have been contributing to the enslavement of the world by Napoleon, and soon- CT or later he would have appeared at their gates, and not even the gates l of hell could have prevailed against | him.
 Germany must be fought where he1 armies are found.
 She must not win foot of territory 1 in this war.
 1 If she does she will be able to point to the war as victory, and the Ger man people will believe her. After the war there is only one hope for the future of the world. That hope lies in the German people. In a de feated Germany, the people will soon CT or later unseat the Hohenzollern: and the Junkers and take from tht hands of that insufferable crew O egomaniacs and murderers the sword with which they threaten the whole world. A victorious Hohenzoller1 dynasty will hold the German peoplt in the thraldom of the triumphs they will claim to have won. The German people are sleepwa1kers ravaging thu world under the hynotic suggestion of the mightiest mesmerist that eve
 made the subject the human mind They are mad with mob psychology hcmicidal mania. The French unde Napoleon needed defeat, and receiv ed it. Otherwise they would hav bighted the whole earth. The Ger mans need defeat, and they must ge ; it, otherwise they will press down ol
 the brow of humanity crown o thorns more agonizing than that o Atilla the Hun.
 Germany must be defeated now il France, and not after she appears a our doors swollen with the pride o victory and with our present allie flogged into her ranks as her allies The great cause is on trial now. A any other time it will be too late. Tn
 place is France. Germany is reelin! down to defeat If we add the migh , of our blows to those of our allies she will fall. Unless she falls W l meet her next, and we may have t meet her alone.
 5 The man who argues that we shoul
 await her coming to our shores t
 attack us has not thought about it, ol if he has thought about it, he eithe l is a fool or he wishes Germany t win. Let us cease listening to the un thinking, to fools, and to traitors. Le us fight this out in France alongsid
 our allies.

Whenever there is 5-to-4 decision
by the Supreme court it means
that the question is settled for the
time being, but subject to reversal
when the court changes, or when, as
sometimes happens, change in the
constitution follows. We may now
look forward to an effort to amend the
constitution so as to give greater con-
troll over interstate commerce by the
national government which will make
plain the power of the government to
prohibit the transportation of goods
made by child labor. The child labor
law being declared unconstitutional by
a 5-to-4 decision means that a new
campaign will be started so as to Sc
cure the results which have been so
long sought for by the proponents of
this legislation.
Probably few people recall the dra-
matte features attached to the enact
ment of the child labor law which has
just been declared unconstitutional.
Congress was about to adjourn in 1916
and the Democrats of the senate had
decided that they would not pass the
child labor law. In fact, quite COM
pact organization had been formed to
talk the bill to death. Then word
came from the White House that Pres
ident Wilson wanted that child labor
law enacted before congress adjourned,
and with considerable grumbling the
Democratic leaders took up the burden
and put it through.
