army, expecting to be sent to France.
But many of them will return and it

President Lindley issued the follow

voices the sentiments which the
people of Moscow and the faculty
members hold President Lindley's
address follows:
The Students Army Training Corps
was organized to equip choice men for
high service in the American Army.
With the abrupt advent of peace, the
chief reason for its existence disap-
peared 1t was brilliant and daring

difficult problems of adjustment for in

the character and the patriotism of fac

as2far above the average in its military,
medical and academic departments. For
this excellent record highest praise is
due the commanding officer and his

DIR. N. F. ANGEL
IS COMPL|MENTED
DIRECTOR OF S. A. T. C.. WORK
WINS PRAISE OF GOVERN
MENT INSPECTORS

A high compliment has been paid to
Dr. NJ. F. Angel, who has had charge
of the S. A. T. c. work in the Uni
versity of dIaho as director of the
course of study and has also had charge
OF the construction of barracks, mess
halls and other buildings for the men.
Major Frank Shepherd, who is in gem
eral charge of the S. A. t. c. work in
the west, where he represents the de-
partment of education of the national
army, announced when the barracks
we're completed on North Main street
that a new record for amount OF work
done in a given time had been made
here. President E. H. Lindley, of the
University, said today:
Director Angel, who had charge of
the vocational training work of both
branches, A and B, of the S. A. T. c.,
has been highly complimented for his
excellent work Major Shepherd and
Wr Hobson who were here recently on
a tour of inspection said that Director
Angell's services have not been excelled
by any man in their entire district"
DR.. Angel has probably had as much
work and responsibility as any man con-
nected with the S. A. T. c. and has
done it in a quiet, unostentatlous way
and has won the praise of all OF those
who are conversant with his work here

the prospect of returning to his home.

which was II days after the armistice
had been signed and fighting had
ceased. This is the first letter his rel
atives had had from him for some time
and they were very uneasy. Mr.. Fox
is we'll known in Moscow, being a
brother of Mrs. E. J. Armbruster. He
went over on the Tuscania, the only
transport torpedoed and sunk by the
Germans when loaded with troops. He
writes that he has not naet single per-
son in France whom he knew in the

GERMANS GET TASTE
OF MARTIAL Law
ABITANTS OF COLOGNE
LAUGHED AT BRITISH REGU-
LATIONS-ARE FINED

COLOGNE. = (By the Associated
Press)-Last night and the night be-
fore the Germans experimental with
mild defiance of martial law as insti-
tuted by the British troops of occupation.
When the British issued their edict
that the civilians, with certain excep-
tions, must be off the streets at 7
O'Clock in the evening, and then,
thinking this too severe, altered the
hour to 9 o'clock, many persons de-
cided the order was mere formallty
and meant nothing.
Saturday night was the first time that
the rule was rigidly enforced At that
time some 200 civilians who were pa
rading the streets were rounded up by
the military police. Yesterday these per-
sons were tried and each was fined 10
marks.
Last night the performance was re-
newed. At 9 o'clock large numbers of
persons were promenading about the
streets Some tardy ones undoubtedly
were unwittingly breaking the law, but
many of them made the infraction quite
apparent These persons even looked
at the street clocks and laughed.
They soon found out. however, that
business was intended. A Gordon of
military police was thrown out and
every person was compelled to show a
pass or give their names or answer to
a summons for today. Several hundred
men and women will be tried today.

To save from starvation fully
100000 Armenians, Syrians and
Greeks, a campaign to raise $50 ,000,-
900, or about 80 cents per capita
throughout the United States will be
made the week of January IL to 19,
1919. So interested was President
Woodrow Wilson in the cause of these
suffering peoples that preparatory to
sailing for Europe, on his peace mis-
sion, he issued proclamation, calling
on the people of this country for
funds, which he signed and left for
release at this time. The proclama-
tion issued at the White House fol-
lows:
"Fore more than three years Am
erican philanthropy has been large
factor in keeping alive Armenian,
Syrian, Greek and other .exiles and
refugees of western Asia.
"On two former occasions have
appealed to the American people in
behalf of these homeless sufferers,
whom the vicissitudes of war and
massacres had brought to the ex
tremest need.
'The response has been most gen.
erous, but now the period of rehabili
tation is at hand. Vastly larger sums
prosperous, but now impoverished,
refugees to their former homes than
were required merely to sustain life
in their desert exile.
cit is estimated that about 100000
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other
war sufferers in the near east will
require outside help to sustain them
through the winter. Many of them
are now hundreds of miles from their
homeland. The vast majority of them
are helpless women and children, in
cluding 100000 orphans.
"The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is appealing for
a minimum of $3O,000,000 to be sub
scribed January 1919, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
"I, therefore again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months

own, have been left in starving,

establish these ancient and sorely op-
pressed people in their former homes

HOLLAND IN DANGER
OF D|SMEMBERMENT
DUTCH COUNTRY WHICH is
HARBORING FORMER KAISER
MAY LOSE TERRITORY

Somewhat disturbing because in
line with things that have gone be-
fore is the hint from London that
Holland may be dismembered The
excuse suggested is that Holland vio-
lated international law by allowing
German troops to cross Dutch terri
tory in retiring from Belgium under
the terms of the armistice.
What the law of the matter may be
is little hard to say, seeing that
the armistice itself is so unusual as
to be almost unprecedented, but In
any case it is not clear how the move
ment Of German troops across Dutch
territory after fighting had stopped
harmed the allies. But throughout
the last two years of the war Hol-
land has been not little exercised
by a propaganda for bigger Bel
gium, which was to be created in part
at Hollands expense, and by a par
allel demand in England for giving
to Belgium the left bank of the
Scheldt with view to keeping that
river open to British ships Of war as
far as Antwerp.
The position of Holland has been
very difficult indeed, and it's feud
with Great Britain was perhaps more
serious than is realized in this coun-
try, especially after the British cut
off it's communication with it's col
onies and the stubborn Netherlanders
retorted by using German wireless
for communication with the East
Indies. Holland may have not little
reason for anxiety till the peace con-
ference is Springfield Repub-
lican.

CLYDE MARSH TELLS
INTERESTING STORY
OSCOW BOY HAS SEE N
STRANGE SIGHT WHILE SERV-
ING IN FRANCE

Clyde Marsh is home visiting his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Marsh. He
has been in the service since the first
of the year. He belongs to the naval
aviation force and left Philadelphia
in March He assisted in the patrol
of the French coast and has taken
four flights IN an aeroplane. Clyde
says the men in his branch of the
service are changed from one division
to another more often than the men
of the army At different times he
has seen Wm.- Robbins, Leon Owings,
Charles Gray, Arvid Anderson and
Mr. Carlson, and other Moscow boys.
It is odd he says, to see the French
plodding along with oxen and doing
nearly all forms of work by hand in
stead of using machinery. But contact
of the French with the Americans
and other allies is giving them a
broader outlook and they are advanc-
ing in methods and ideas in the last
few years and have made more pro
gress than would have been accom-
plished in many years had the war
not brought the different nations to-
gether in such intimate relations.
The French are rapidly taking up the
American quick way of accomplishing
results.
Clyde left Brest, France, November
1st, and landed at Newport News
November II. The boys are not al
lowed to tell US everything yet, as
the censorship is not entirely removed.
Clyde must report January lst for
service if his furlough is not extended.
