But just as the burgeoning Of the
buds and the fronded little leaves hap
pens only at the cost OF travail and
pain of birth to the mother plant, so
liberty and freedom for mankind the
world over can be won only through
mans pain and suffering. He must go
through the ordeal of battle, through
fire and horror to make a place OF
peace and security for posterity.
The divine succession, the cruel
fixion and resurrection, is again being
acted out. After death canes vic

Son of man betrayed-and then burst
ing upon the sordid world the sudden
glory of Christ's Ascension to Heaven.
So in the end will the great white
light of right enthroned, of peace on

war-ridden world after the enemy has
been crushed to earth never to raise
his voice in discord again. NJ. c.

DIR EASTERTIDE

ours is a dark Eastertide and Woe
full Spring.
But high up at Heavens gates all the
Saints sing,
Glad of the great companies return
ing to their King
The spiritual regeneration wrought
in the souls of the men in Flanders
fields brings a joyful Easter-a re-
birth-to the world. They are men
from the workshop and the field. from
the cafes of Broadway and the desks
of the university. There may be
found the plodder and the scholar, the
hypocrite and the agnostic.
But the great war is proving bath
of fire not only to the body but to the
spirit. Men are lifted out CT them
selves and their previous quiescence
to a simple, childlike faith in a su-
preme God and the worth of brother
hood. Gone are doubt, fear and ques-
tioning. Theology is forgotten in the
injunction, LAS He died to make men
holy, let us live to make men free"
The men of the world are going
through the struggle of birth and are
emerging triumphant.

FINALLY GETS INTO THE ARMY
Former Student Accepted for Service
by Draft Board.

Captain Fayette c. Ewing, Medical
Officers Reserve Corps. Base Hospi-
tai, Camp Beauregard, Louisiana
writes that his son, Donald NJ, for
mer student in the School Of Journal
ism of the University, had ordered his
passports to go to London for the AS
ISOLATED Press when he was ordered
to report by the draft board. The New
Orleans Item of March "a says regard
ing Ewing's attempts to get into ma
tional service:
ITO be rejected by three different
branches of the army service and
finally accepted by local exemption
board has been the experience OF Don
aid NJ. Ewing, a Chicago newspaper
man. Ewing first tried to enlist in the
National Guard when war broke out,
but was turned down.
Then he tried the regulars. Again
he was rejected. Next he tried the
Navy, but no use, they couldn't see
him. But Ewing not daunted, applied
to the Red Cross for ambulance work
but in vain. AS last resort he buck
ed the Navy. The same story, rejected
because of an injury to his knee re-
ceived in a football game
He went through with colors flying
when called by the local exemption
board"

Once upon time young man, who
had recently found himself in a pair
of long trousers, stood before a mir
ror carefully brushing his hair. His
hair was perfectly straight, hut he
continued to brush on. Bye and bye
he laid down the brush III began
carefully to readust his tie. That
before the mirror that he might see
to smooth the wrinkles out Then
he gave his hair pat and rub with
both hands, twisted his tie into finn
position, put on his hat, examined
himself critically in the glass in turn
ing one way and then the other and
found himself dressed satisfactorily
in the new conservation style.
That young man was not more
careful of his dress than are many
men. Indeed, all have the habit at
some time or other of appearing Just
as well as they can. One sees in the
spring and fall young men gaze long
ingly and wistfully into clothiers' and
tailors' windows, just as groups Of
young women gather in front Of mil
liners windows before Easter and
gaze into them.
1t seems to be a strong habit. In
the country and in small towns. the
masculine population has Sunday
suits" That suit does for all occa-
sions. One may go to church, 10 din
ner. to a wedding or funeral and not
feel at all out of place But not so
with the richer in the cities. They
dress for all occasions and are quick
to note breaches in style. The coat
is of the wrong cut, the lining is not
faced to the edge" the waist coat
has one too many buttons.
But this year the request of the
Council of National Defense has al
tered styles. True, we will still
dress much as we please, but mill
tary plainness will be the predominant

almost too close for comfort, and the
trousers will be as tight as ever. The

Dress clothes will change little. The
coat will be silk-lined and faced to

dress coat, the dinner jacket and also
the frock coat. The Prince Albert
will be faced to the buttonhole.
The cloth this year may suffer some

in order that wool may be saved
There is also a tendency to use re-
worked wool. The cloth will be
striped, checked, hair lined or in 4
novelty or solid color. The number
of styles will be limited.
Light tan and black low-cut shoes
will be popular this summer. Hose
will be of the usual colors with a
tendency towards the khaki. The
hat will be narrower brimmed, and
shirts and collars may be Of colors
to match. The soft and stiff collars
will be of nearly equal proportion.
There will be plenty of styles to
pick from even though plainess is en-
phasized. The careful dresser can
exercise just as much care in select
ing his clothes as the young man did
in grooming himself the first night,
and as the others were learning to
do when they stared into the show
windows.

FEW MLITERATES AT FUNSTON
Survey Shows High Percentage of
Educated Men.

LuuCdttu hChs
BY Associated Press
CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Mar. 30
An educational survey recently com
pleted by G. C. DOtzour, educational
secretary at Camp Funston, national
Army cantonment, throws light on
the intelligence of the National Army
men now undergoing training here.
The survey shows that only 30 per
cent of the men failed to go beyond
the sixth grade. Only 2.6 per cent
of the men never attended school,
while most of these were able to read
and write, so could not be classed as
illiterates.
The survey brings out the fact that
1927 per cent of the men attended
high school, that 1875 per cent were
graduated from high school, that SIS
per cent attended a college or uni
versity and that "a per cent were
graduated from an institution of COL
legiate standing. Three per cent at
tended trade and professional schools,
most of the men of this class being
those who did not complete high
school course.

WHEAT GROWERS WANT.
HIGHER PRICE FIXED.
Appeal To President To Fix
Price At $2.46 A Bushel
In Future.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The National
Wheat Growers association in its ap-
peal to President Wilson for s2.46
wheat, contends that even this price
will not permit the wheat growers to
reap the profit now being made by the
grower of corn and cotton.
In its brief to the president the as
soeiation declares that on the basis
of the ration Of the price fixtures be-
tween crops the price Of wheat would
be over So, as the pre-war price of cot
ton was about III cents and is now 80
to 40 cents pound. Corn also brings
nearly three times the pre-war pric-
es. -
The growers also maintain that the
increases in the price asked~for wheat
is not as much proportionately as the
increases in the wages that most labor
is receiving over pre-war wages. y
In fixing the price at $2.46, the as
sociation points out that the president
would only be adopting "the recon-
mendation Of the agricultural advis-
'ory committee selected by the secre-
tary of agriculture, Houston and Food
Director Hoover.''
