brands sold for five or six francs q
quart--and then it seemed more
festive than anything else. More
over, champagne was easy to get.
In one of the port towns there were
stores which sold alarm clocks and
champagne. calico and champagne,
cakes and champagne, groceries and
champagne, candy and. champagne
and shoes and champagne 1t
seemed to be the universal after
thought of every storekeeper. 1t
was not a good army drink, of
course. Not only we're the imme-
diate effects bad, but they were
somewhat prolonged, and soon the
army undertook to put champagne
on the forbidden list. This seems
to have been done successfully, and,
moreover, most Of the older troops
have outgrown the habit.
One factor which aided the con-
sumption of champagne was the ir-
regularity with which our men were
paid. Many units drew no money
until they came to France, and then
suddenly received three months pay
or four months pay in a lump. 1t
was hard to ask men who suddenly
found SO much money in their
pockets not to waste it in the worst
way possible. More regular pay

Germans Establish
University Behind
Lines in France
Four Hundred Students
From Trenches at Insti-
tuition in Journal
The Ncv Yoric Tribune
ForCiun Press Blre0N

FOfCtUE Press bureau
The German government recently has
established universities not far from
the firing line for soldiers at the front.
One Of these universities is in Journal,
about thirty miles from the front line,
according to the Berlin "Vossische Zci-
tung,' This university is said to have
nearly 400 students, and among the
professors there are men like Jastrow,
Gutenberg, Zittclmann. Sombart, Stier-
Smolo and others who are very promi
nent in various fields
The "Vossische Zcitung' dcvotcs al
most an entire page to the description
of the newly established German uni
versity at the front in Tournai. 1t
says:
"Thc idea of founding universities in
an enemy country, among a population
that speaks foreign tongue, has a
deeper meaning. The fatherland is
coming into contact with those fighting
outside by means Of sending out it's
representatives Of science to them in
the universities behind the front. 1t
was in the section OF the Sixth Army,
which consists of Bavarans, that this
idea was first realized, even before any
stimulus came from the authorities to
make a general practice of it, 1t is
planned to include all courses in the
curriculum. AS beginning, studies in
law and political science have been in
troduced. The participators from the
Sixth Army were given two weeks
leave. The idea was received with en-
thusiasm. The applications were so
numerous that distinction had to be
made. In this manner 400 people soon
joined the tield-gray university in
Tournai
"1he spacious clothers' hall in
Tournai now bears the name of a r1u-
scum of fine arts. In this way there
sprang up here a university that is
TO less peculiar on account of its au-
dience than on account of the selec-
ton and type Of the lecturers. The
most prominent representatives of
various fields have been invited: Som
bart, Jastrow, Gutenberg for the So
cal sciences; Zittclmann, Stier-Smolo,
Fehr, Hedemann. Gerlach for jurispru-
dencc; In addition there arc executive
officials and instructors in history, lit
erature and art.
"Thc curriculum presents as great a
variety of courses as any university.
All the results Of scientific investiga-
| tion are presented to the students in
| the modern manner. Among the sub
! iccts are: Principles and charactcris-
ties of legal activity (zittelmann), the
fundamentals of civil rights (Hede-
mannl, fundamentals OF criminal law
| (Gerlach), legal problems of the world
war (Hedemann), the change in the
conception of law (Stier-S Smolo), the
evolution of the modern state (Fchr),
the political ideas of the world war
jOhmann), principles Of national econ
omy (Sombart), commercial politics
! (Jastrow) war finances (Sombart),
war and capitalism (Eulenberg), bank
organization (Schatz). communal war
economy and settlements (Chief MAYOR
/ of Jarnes and Lucken), lectures on
Bismarck professor KunzeD, Wagner
! Professor Wolbach).' Nietzschc and
many other subjects.

chine and armored tank on the Capitol
Grounds yesterday.
Senator Thomas, of the Military AZ

several other members of both Houses.

the demonstration.
Mr.. Logon at least was well satisfied
with the outcome OF the demonstra-

heartily when the little tank, propelled
by two husky privates, pushed its way
through the ENHANCEMENT, swapping
the wires as though they were gossa-
mer threads. Mr.. Logan has offered
his invention to the government.

when the boys and girls Of today viii

"As the twig 10 bent. the tree Is

The work Of the Patriotic Daily
Vacation Bible School is the natural
extension Of the ministry Of the
church into the summer months when
most city churches discontinue many
of their activities. It involves the
trifold education Of the hand, mind
and heart of the child. For over
two months in summer. school super
vision is withdrawn from eighteen
million children. For many OF these.
vacation is q happy time, but for
more it II time Of Decentralization
and danger.
The wage Garner busy all day can
not give his children needed care.
This is especially true in the large
cities Of our country. In these, after
existing agencies for child welfare
have done their best, there are still
upwards of 100000 boys and girls
who spend sixty-three vacation days
on the street untouched by any Or
ganized philanthrophy.

schools Is to promote the social well
fare Of the children by giving them
competent leaders and teachers, suit
able and happy occupations. a syste-
matte oversight OF games. good songs.
| and to combine with this religious
training and practical Bible teaching,
a supreme need Of childhood. The
popularity Of the schools among the
children themselves is the truest in
! dication that they are meeting q real
need.
1t is well worth while to take the
children OF the streets for six weeks.
Their lives are safer, their habits are
better and their parents are freer

kept busy, patriotism is instilled and
to help in the making Of good future
citizens is worth while.

On the eighth OF July a, Patriotic
Daily Vacation Bible School was

children who will come. and is free.
Under competent leadership, there is

Falling in line with the work for

churches in the city are planning to
take up this work.

Answer-The man does not lose his

the property returned to the creditor
after all prior installments have been

stay of proceedings. But the soldier.
