others were not deprived Of that
Isame freedom Of action.
But along comes that memoir
able sixth day of April, 1917
with the declaration Whereas,
The Imperial German Govern
ment has committed repeated
acts of war against the govern
ment and the people of the Unit
ed States of America: Therefore,
be it resolved, by. the Senate
and the House Of Representa-
tiYes of the United States Of
America, in congress assembled,
that THE state Of war between the
United States and the Imperial
German Government, which has
thus been thrust upon the United
States, is hereby formally declar-
ed. And, by this declaration
"duty" automatically superced-
ed privilege" From that day,
until the war shall have come to
an end, the question, to be ask
ed by the American people IS
mot: (Which are our priv
leges2'' but: (which are our du-
ties2 What can | do to help
bring the war to a victorious end
for the allied arms?"
We hear some answer to that
Question almost daily. We hear
that it is the duty of many Of
our young men to 60 to the front
to fight their country's battles.
Many Of the young men, who
at some time have been students
lat this institution, have heard
the call to perform hat duty, as
the many stars on the service
flag tell us. That is a very seri-
Gus duty. We know, and they
know, that they will not all re-
turn home again. Some of them
will be called upon to sacrifice
their lives for their country. We
hope that it may not be many,
but we do not know.
But that was not the only rea-
son why | said it is a serious
duty. | read not long ago a
statement, reported to have been
made by an American soldier at
the front. He was reported to
have said that to kill Germans
is the greatest sport of all, it
is even greater sport than to play
baseball. But to kill Germans is
not sport, even though they be
our enemies. 1t is not sport to
kill human beings. 1t may be-
come a duty. But let rs not for
get that it is a very serious du-
ty. And let US not talk lightly
about it.
Another answer, we hear given,
is that We must be saving. We
must save some money and we
must save food. That is Also true.
II costs money to carry on the
war. 1t costs so much that most
ordinary people cant even I'M
derstand il. We hear and read
about millions and billions Of
dollars. But what those large
figures represent we can t grasp.
But we can understand that we
must save in order that those
large sums can be raised.
And we must save food. Our
soldiers, both at home and abroad,
must have food. They cant fight
if they are starving. And our al
lies must have food, and we
must send If TO them

the duty of the American people
to keep the schools, the colleges,

In olden times war was TO a
large extent a test of physical
strength. But those days are
long past. War is now, not only
a test of physical strength, but
equally as much, and perhaps
more; a test Of intellectual de-
velopment. Therefore we must
keep opr schools open.
But there are also other rea-
sons why we must not close our
institutions of learning. Learned
men and women are indispensable
in times of peace. But they are
much more SO in times OF war.
Physicians and surgeons are need
ed at home, perhaps more now
than in times Of peace. But they
are also needed among the sol
diers. Engineers are needed both
at home and in the theater Of
war. But if we close our insti-

Now rs eottomless Pie.

When is pie not a pie? Is. a ques-
ton which will tax the wits of some
wartime Solomon to solve in squarely
facing the issue Of "bottomless pies"
as measure of war saving Of food
stuffs in the latest Hooverized innova-
ton ofrbaking for the nation. The
movement to remove the bottom crust
from pies is being taken hold of by
housewives and bakers generally, and
is gaining wide support. New York is
a pie-eating city. 1t is estimated that
an entire pie is eaten between Is per-
soQs daily, or total consumption Of
100000 pies each day in the metrop0li-
tan district. In one year the collective
stomachs Of New York's pie-eaters abb
sorb 100000 Of the dainties. Some
one with penchant for large figures
has gone so far even to state that the
bottom crust Of those pieces, if rolled
out with large rolling pin across a
4O-acre lot. would in week cover the
surface of the field and lap over the
fence posts. On the basis of 100000
pies eaten by the entire nation each
day, at the end Of the year the bottom
crust of the pies would form a strip
Of crust nine yards wide and long
enough to encircle the globe at the
equator. Some crust.

SHARK FIT FOR HUMAN FOOD
Flesh Of Man.Eater Tastes Like shad
Skin Makes Leather and
Liver Furnishes OIL.

Russell J. Coles of Danville, Va. who.
is cooperating with the department OF
fishes Of the American Museum of MT.
ural History in popularizing unutilized
food fishes, has established at Cape
Lookout, N. c., plant for fringing
sharks to food, leather and oil. q
- Mr.. Coles is a well-known hunter OF
big fish. He has hunted devilfish with
Colonel Roosevelt, and caught the
splendid specimen Of devilflsh from
which was cast the life-size model now
to be seen in the American museum.
He has Just sent to the museum an in.
teresting report Of his work In the
shark industry in North Carolina: x
"You are delaying a surprising treat
by not soaking the salt out Of that
whipray and eating 1t. I have found
'whip-tail shark one Of the best that
I have eaten, and monklish excellent.
"But the very finest shark, or In fact

fast of monkfish and porpoise milk, as
had just caught cow porpoise with
a very small calf. Porpoise milk may
be all right for those who like it, but
did not much care for it."
In describing the flesh Of the man.
eating shark on which he dined as
noted above, Mr.. Coles said:
"In color the flesh was a distinct
rich light pink salmon. There was an
almost round strip of nearly black
extending along in the pink flesh on
each side Of the back. l ate both the
pink and black flesh and found both
excellent. -.
Il got the shark from the net while
itrwas still alive. A native fisherman
and his mate reported to me that as
they hauled up their sink net while
was taking the sharks from my big
shark net near them, and about the
moment that the young one was
caught, they brought up a monstrous
shark having similar tail, which was
as long as their 25-foot launch, and
that it fought so violently that they
quickly cut loose large piece of their
net in which 1t was ,entangled and let
1t escape.
although these two fishermen are
men Of good standing and well known
to me, 1 hesitate to accept statement
Of this kind, which involve the size Of
"A fighting shark, from any but a few, OF
the best-trained observers. st4
Il have: prepared the meat of the
man-eater for smoking, its hide for the
tanner and have made oil Of its liver."
Although at first shark meat for food
was viewed with prejudice by the gen.
eral public, It has sold In no small
quantities, even in New York city,
where the price short time ago wal
IA cents per pound. As leather, shark
has been fairly tested, and found to be
satisfactory in all points. and especial

We want to see the allied troops

in front of the kaiser's palace, erect
there gallows fifty cubits high. With
appropriate ceremonies we wish to
see the gibbet properly and fantas-
tically decorated with Kaiser Will
helm, and Won Tirpitz, these two.
with liberal garnishing here and
there, up and down the sides, of the
field generals of the German army
who permitted their soldiers to rape
helpless French and Belgian girls.
thousands of whom, under 3 years
of age, are now inmates of matcrnaT
homes on the borders of the deva3tat-
ed districts. When this is done we are
willing to admit that good job has
been finished. Bloodthirsty, is it? Not
by any means. Less than a month ago
an American soldier of Pershing's
force attacked and raped a French
woman. A court martial immediate
ly sat upon his case and he was sum-
marily executed by an American FIR
ing squad. Shall we ask less for the
beasts of the German army?-Jeffer-
