sth Of January, last, and in subse-
auent addresses and that its object In
entering into discussion would be only
to agree upon the practical details of
their application?
The president feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion Of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation OF arms
to the governments with which the gov
ernment Of the United States is asso-
ciated against the Central powers so
long as the armies OF those powers are
upon their soil. The good faith of any
discussion would manifestly depend
upon the consent Of the Central pow
ers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded ter
ritory.
1.-The president also feels that he Is
justified In asking whether the impe-
rial chancellor Is speaking freely for
the constituted authorities OF the en-
pire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer TO these
questions vital from every point Of
view
Accept, sir, the renewed assurances
of my high consideration.

WEPT FOR THE ARMY
But Rumanian's Queen Promised to
Fight Again.

Fight Again.
Queen Marie. Rumania's heroic SOL
dier queen" wept when the gallant
Rumanian army was demobilized by
order of the Germans; but she declar-
ed that it would not be for long, that
Rumania would fight again.
The disbanding Of the army OF soo.-
900 soldiers was one Of the stern meas
ures forced upon Rumania by the
terms of Germany's humlliating and
uncompromising peace treaty. Empe-
ror William of Germany gave King
Ferdinand OF Rumania just one month
in which to strip his army of all its
power.
In a great open stretch of land at
the foot Of the Carpathian noun
tains, not far from the Austrian from
tier, the queen. accompanied by the
king and the royal family, reviewed
the regiments of officers and soldiers
who had fought so bravely during the
eighteen months that Rumania faced
the four formidable foes that sur
rounded her.
AS each division passed along the
line of march. there were repeated
demonstrations, shouts Of acclaim, and
many marks of affection on the part
of the troops for their beloved queen.
whom they revere with q devotion al
most as fervid as that shown by the
French soldier for the memory of Joan
of Arc.
On the way to the review every in
habitant Of the villages through which
the queen passed gave her a demon
stration so overwhelming that she her
self acknowledged that it was the
greatest single tribute she had receiv-
ed at the hands Of the people since the
beginning Of the war. There could
be no doubt, even in the mind Of the
firmest pacifist. that Rumanias fight
ing queen had the whole hearted sup
port of the entire population in her
struggle to stave OF a humillating
peace with Germany.
As the men who had fought on the
sanguinary field Of Marasesti, which Is
the Gettysburg Of Rumania, marched
by, each bearing on his breast the
coveted Michael the Brave" medal
for gallantry. the queen broke into
tears and. turning to the king, who
stood beside her, said in a voice that
betrayed deep emotion:
What a tragedy that this magnifi-
cent army must lay down its arms!
But. please God. 1t shall not be for
long. l repeat 1t It shall not be for
long! Germany by her might and
brutishness may subdue, but she can
never crush the spirit and will of my
soldiers. With Gods help. we will
fight again. and pray that the day
Is not far of. Ny soul will never rest
until the honor of the country is vim
dicated before the eyes Of our Allies"

The Value Of a College Educ ation.-

The Value Of College Education
The present is not the first time, as
some have said, that the government
OF the United States. has given recog-
milton to the importance OF college
training in the midst OF the war. II
was in 1852. in the midst OF the Civil
war. that President Lincoln signed
the Morale act. to which most Of the
agricultural and medical colleges OF
the country owe their foundations.
The recognition given to the colleges
now, however, Is even more direct.
Special provision is made for them to
instruct men while war Is in progress.
About $4,000 drafted men are con-
stantly receiving instruction In me-
chanical subjects In educational insti-
tutions. This number will shortly be
increased. The students army train
ing corps provides an opportunity for
any man Of draft age, good physique.
and high school education to go to
college at the expense Of the federal
government. While he Is in college.
he receives. in addition, the wages Of
a soldier. What further proof could
be given to the value attached to COL
lege training as a preparation for
serving the nation In time Of war?
II Is certain that the value Of col
lege training will not be lost sight OF
when peace comes. Various propos-
ais have been made In congress to
give returning soldiers special oppor-
tunites to receive college training.
Whether any such plan Is adopted or
not, college education will occupy an
unprecedented place In the conscious
ness Of the nation.-Kansas Indus

TO prescribe and may be dangerous TO

II the patient is so situated that he

must also look after others In the fam
lily. II is advisable that such attendant
wear 4 wrapper. apron, or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while in the
sick room. and slip this off when leav-
ing to look after the others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in danger
Gus disease germs by wearing simple
fold of sauze or mask while near the
patient.
VIII a person who has had influenza
before catch the disease again?
II is well known that an attack Of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not to be true Of Spanish in
fucnza." According to newspaper re-
ports the king of Spain suffered an
attack of influenza during the epi-
demic thirty years ago. and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak In
Spain.
How can one guard against influ-
enza?
In guarding against disease OF all
kinds, it is important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav-
ing a proper proportion of work, play.
and rest. by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient
wholesome and properly selected food.
In connection with diet. It is well to
remember that milk is one Of the best
all-around foods obtainable for adults
as we'll as children. So far as a dis
ease like influenza is concerned health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between its spread
and overcrowed homes. While 1t Is
not always possible, especially in times
like the present, TO avoid such over
crowding. people should consider the
health danger and make every effort to
reduce the home overcrowding to
minimum. The value of fresh air
through open windows can not be
over emphasized.
Where crowding Is unavoidable, as
in street cars. care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to in
hale directly the air breathed out by
another person.
1t is especially important to beware
of the person who coughs or sneeZes
without covering his mouth and nose.
II also follows that one should keep
out of crowds and stuffy places as
much as possible. keep homes. offices,
and workshops well aired. spend some
time out OF doors each day. walk to
work If at all practicable-in short
make every possible effort to breathe
as much pure air as possible.
Cover up each cough and sneeze.
