He is not shocked by these things.
 He has been taught that it is busi- ness to perform them, his duty to sup port them, and his religion to justi- fly them. They are, and for a long time past they have been, as Iegitf- mate in his eyes as the ballot in ours. This, remember, was as true of the German in 1914 as it is now.
 People who have been brought up to make organized evil in every form their supreme good because they be- lieve that evil will pay them and are not going to change their belief till ]! is proved that evi, does not pay.
 So far, the Hun believes that evil has paid him in the past. and will pay him better in the future.
 He has had good start.
 Like the thug, the Hun knew exact ly what he meant to do before he opened his campaign against man. kind. As we have proof now, his pois- oned sweetmeats and his knotted tow els were prepared years beforehand, and his spies had given him the full est information about all the people he intended to attack. So he is do- ing what is right in his own eyes. He thought out the hell he wished to create; he built it up seriously and scientifically with his best hands and brains; he breathed into it his own spirit that it might grow with his needs; and at the hour that he judged best, he let it loose on a world thai till then had believed there were linn it's beyond which men born of women dared not sin.
 Unpublished Crimes
 Nine-tenths of the atrocities Ger many has committed have not been made public.
 I think this a mistake.
 But one gets hint of them here and there-Folkstone has had more thar hint. For instance, we were told the other day that more than 14,OOC English non-combatants men, womer

shown incapable of maintaining itself against the Hun. It will die; and it will die discredited, together with ev- cry belief and practice that is based on it.
 The Hun ideal. the Huns root mo- tions of life will take it's place throughout the world. Under that dis pensation man will become once more the natural prey, body and goods, of his better-armed neighbor. Women will be the mere instrument for con- tinuing the breed; the vassal of mans lust, and mans cruelty; and labor will become a thing to be knocked on the head if it dares to give trouble, and worked to death if it does not.
 And from this order of life there will be no appeal, no possibility of any escape. This is what the Hun means when he says he intends to impose

German Ku1tur-which is the German religion-upon the world.
 This is precisely what the world had banded itself together to resist.
 It will take every ounce in US; it will try us out4to the naked soul Our trial will not be. made less by the earnest advice and suggestions that we should accept some sort of com promise, which means defeat, put for ward by Hun agents and confeder- ates among us.
 They are busy in that direction al- ready. But be sure of this
 Nothing-nothtng we may have to endure now will weigh one fGGther- weight compared with what we shall most certainly have to suffer if for any cause we fail of victory. (By The International News Bureau, Inc, Bos. ton, Mass.)

They then stripped the corpse of all valuables, threw it down a well or buried 1t, and went on to the next job.
 At last things got so bad that the government of India had to interfere. Like all governments it created a de- partment-the Department of Thugee ito deal with the situation.
 Unlike most departments, this one worked well, and after many years of tracking down and hanging up the actual murderere. and imprisoning their spies and confederates, who in- cluded all ranks of society, it put an end to the whole business of Thuggee
 The Up-to-Date Thug
 The world has progressed since that day. By present standards of crime those thugs were ineffective amatuers.
 They did not mutilate or defile the bodies of the dead; they did not tor ture e rape. or enslave people; they did not kill children for fun, and they did not burn villages
 They merely killed and robbed in an unobstructive way, as a matter of education, duty and religion, under the patronage of their Goddess, Kali the Destroyer. Very good.
 At the present moment all the pow CTS of the world that have not been bullied or brtbed to keep out of it have been forced to join in one inter- national Department to make an end of German international Thuggee for the reason that if 1t is not ended life on this planet becomes insuppNrtable for human beings.
 Even now there are people in Eng land who find it hard to realize that the Hun has been educated by the state from his birth to look upon as- sassisation and robbery, eInbellished with every treachery and abomination that the mind of man can laboriously think out, as a perfectly legitimate means to the national ends of his country.

for looking at tho future with calm and confidence. A man who has vast ed or muddled all his pay at the end of the week is the servant of the whole world for his next weeks pay. The man who has his bit in hand is independent of the world as far as that bit goes, and that knowledge at the back of one's head must make life a different affair to every think ing man or woman. Savings repre- sent much more than their mere money value. They are proof that the saver is worth something in him. self. Any fool can waste. Any fool can muddle, but it takes something of man to save, and the more he , saves the more of a man does it make him. Waste and extravaganza unset tie a mans mind for every crisis; thrift. which means some form of self-restraint and confluence, stead ies it. And we need steady minds just now.
 No Obstacles to Saving
 Remember, too, that everything we waste in the way of manufactured goods, from a match upwards, as well as everything we buy that isn't abso- lutely necessary to get on with, means diverting some man or woman's time and energy from doing work connect l ed with the war. And war work, which means supplies, food. intuition, ships, is the only thing that is of the least importance now. Everything out side that necessity is danger and waste. So you see we are all in a splendid position to invest Not only is there more money going about and fewer things to buy with it, but it is also wrong to spend money on what there is available. The road has been cleared of all obstacles to saving. The {, interest on what we save helps tc
 make us personally independent; the
 money we lend to the government helps to set our land and our world free. Our security for our loan is
 not only the whole of the British em-
 pire, but also the whole of civiliza-
 ton, which has pooled it's resources
 in men money and material to car ry on this war to victory. Nothins else under Heaven matters today ex-

WOULD ABOLISH ATHLETICS
Cornell President Says Military Should
Takes IL Place.

In his annual report to the trustees
Of Cornell University, President Jacol
Gould Schurman makes the recon
mendation that intercollegiate ath
letics be displaced by a system of mill
tary training and intramural and in
tercollegiate sports. DR.. Schurmar
condemns intercollegiate sports. His
statement came as a surprise to per.
sons interested in college athletics
here, particularly in view of the fact
that before the war Cornell took pride
in development of the most compre-
hensive system of intercollegiate
sports in the East. DR.. Schurman's
statement follows:
Military training ought to be COM
bined with athletic activity in way
to. utilize and exploit the young mans
natural interest in the games and
sports and the completed system of
military and athletic training should
take the place of the unhealthy in
tercollegiate atheleticism which has
usurped so large a place in life of
our colleges and universities and
which not only seriously interiors
with their real work, but tends to
pervert their essential objects and to
misinterpret them like to the general
public and themselves.
Doctor Schurman advocates five
hours a week military training and
athletic training for all students,
with intramural competition between
class and class, college and college
and other existing units" The whole
considered it is believed, he says, be
organized and conducted in way that
would crafty the natural impulses
of young men awaken and sustain
their interests and displace the vast
anomaly of organized intercollegiate
athletics with its handful of highly
trained players, its show games, its
elaborate and costly agencies and par
aphernalia, its gate receipts, its Sc
rious interference with the work of
students, its betting and gambling
and its conspicuous misrepresentation
of the proper function and service of
the universities in the life of the ma
ton and humanity.

SUFFRAGE TO BE SUBMuTTEDi
Senator Harris Says Amendment May
Come Before LEGISLATURE.

There has been no definite an
nouncement as yet of what will be
taken up at the coming session of the
legislature which begins January 8;
but Senator Frank G. Harris outlined
this morning few of the things which
will probably be considered.
at is quite likely" said Senator
Harris, that an amendment in favor
of woman suffrage will be submitted"
For the last four sessions Of the
legislature there has been a clamor
on the part Of organized labor for a
workmen's compensation act. At the
last session there were some codes
passed concerning the care of chill
dren, especially delinQuents. These
will be liable to come up again.
There will probably be no trouble
about the University appropriation"
said Senator Harris, lowing to the
fact that the attendance has been good
this year in spite of war times. and
also because the war has established
the habit of liberal giving in the last
two years"
The bar association may recommend
the adoption of a code of laws revis-
ing the civil code, according to Senator
Harris. Certain lawyers over the
state are in favor of adopting a plan
whereby the judge of the Supreme
Court may make rules applying to the
court in the place of the legislature
making them.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 3.-Although
somewhat subsidized after the Thanks

S. A. 7. {. ENGINEERS
MAP RIFLE RANGES
Students Survey Two Sites
for Target Practice South
of City.
TRENCHES ARE DUG
Maximum Distance Would
Have Been 900 Yards
Minimum 100.

The S. A. T. c. has not only given
its members practical military ex-
perience but has provided abundant
material for practical classwork. This
| is especially true of the students in
civil engineering who are members
of the Fourth Company of the colleg-
late section of the S. A. T. c.
Civil engineering students have sur
veyed the ground for two rife ranges
and have made contour maps of their
surveys. The two ranges surveyed
| are located south of town, one a
fourth of a mile west of Providence
road near Round Hole. the other east
of Providence road and Just south of
Balance Rock.
The main party of student survey

p. Owens. d. d. Moss, X. X. King, W.
G. Fowler, r. J. Renick, E. F. Ed
wards, H. c. Doolin and W. X. Merri-
dith, surveyed places for the various
trenches for prone firing. kneeling
firing and standing firing; also places
for the targets.
Protected Against Accident.
The maximum range would have
been 900 yards. with firing trenches
at distances of 100, 200, 300, 500 and
600 yards from the targets. The tar
gets would have been located at the
base of bluff so stray bullets would
not have menaced chance travellers.
The target trenches would have
been constructed with stone masonry
protection for the marker, They were
to be s feet deep with thickness of
IL feet There was also to be thick
parapet. The targets were to be 6
feet square and made of sheet steel.
They were to be fixed similarly to a
window. so that one pane could be
pulled down for repainting and the
other one pushed up. They were TO
have been coated with a sort of white
wash. The size of the target would
have varied with the length CT the
range.
Barracks Are Drawn.
The majority of the firing trenches
would have been for the prone posi-
ton. with a few for the kneeling and
standing. The prone would have been
~ feet deep; the kneeiing 3 feet
deep and the standing 5 feet deep.
After these various trenches were
surveyed the members of the party
made a contour map for each pro-
posed range. On these maps were
shown the elevations above sea level
to a foot, and all benchmarks On

of each tree was shown. with its posi-
tons.
In addition to surveying for the
proposed rife ranges. the same party
in one day made drawings of each
barracks in use, showing the dimen-
SONS in cubic feet and how many
might be quartered in a room. The
mess hall and study hall dimensions
we're also reproduced on maps.
