has often been clear. The soul of the
proletariat in both countries is a peasant,
envious, gloomy soul. The Russian got
his socialism from the German; and it
suited both equally, because it was
socialism of fear, hatred and revenge.
The German, like the Russian, submitted
to a million tyrannies in helpless de-
spair, sublimated his grievances by faith
in the divine right of kings, believing it
less and less, and went stolidly on with
an existence of terrific repressions.
Now suddenly Danish all the "verbo-
ten" signs, lift the private and social
and political restraints, give control of
Germany to the Bolshevist proletariat of
Berlin-and what will happen?
Nobody knows.
The Socialists now taking charge of
government may become anathema to the
radicals in very short time. Ebert
may be Germany's Kerensky. The high
est bidders for machine guns on motor
lorries may for time be the rulers Of
Germany-the Lenines and Trotzkys, of
whom there are many.
Fancy turning upon the Junkers and the
bourgeoisie Of Germany heart-hardened
army trained in the theory and technique
of frightfulness!
This may be where God intends to
take up the work Of the Allies and begin
to punish the Hun.

Reason in Beetles
tFron, The Westminster Gazette


The psychological value of NJ. Fabre's
work and testimony is great, quite apart
from its passing interest for him who runs
as he reads. Once for all he must surely
have exploded the myth that instinct is
reason in little, or that reason grows out
of instinct. Quite obviously they are plants
Of a different species. He quotes Lacor
daire in his "Introduction to Entomology. u
referring to the burying beetles, as a glar-
ing instance of an advocate of the reason
ex-instinct myth: "'The following case, he
(that is, Lacordaire) continues, recorded
by Gledditsch, has also every indication Of
the intervention of reason. One of his
friends, wishing 20 desiccate frog, placed
it on the top of stick thrust into the
ground, in order to make sure that tho
Necrophori (burying beeties) should not
come and carry it off. But this precaution
was of no effect; the insects, being unable
to reach the frog. dug under the stick, and
having caused it to fall, buried it as we'll

At a meeting Of the board Of managefs
Of Haverford College held November /,
1918, the following recommendation of the
committee appointed to consider the resig
nation Of Professor Henry J. Cadbury was
approved and adopted:
THAT Professor Cadbury be given leave O.
absence for the rest of this academic year. and
that action upon his resignation be deferred
for consideration Mt meeting Of the board, 10
be held not later than next Third month.
The precious privilege of free judgment ard
utterance. where conscience is truly concerned
Haverford College respects and maintains. But
the habit of temperate judgment and consider

has associated ones self should always charac-

upon matters touching the public conscience

In addition to these men there are GER

40 AUSTRIAN DIVISIONS
ADDED ON ITALIAN FRONT
Allies Decide Not to Withdraw
Forces From Defense Of Line, An
ticipating Drive There.

Forty new Austrian divisions have
been distributed along the italian front,
the italian embassy was advised by ca
BILE from Rome, and this activity has
convinced Italian military men that
the battle in France will not prevent
an offensive against Italy. This view
also is shared by the allied leaders, the
cable said.
That the battle in France will not
prevent the Austrian offensive against
Italy," said the message, is the found
ed opinion of competent military men
of Italy. The allies also are of this
opinion, so much SO that not one single
man, Of the Franco British forces in
Italy has been withdrawn. This state
ment disposes of the assertions of the
German communique that the British
forces in Italy had been brought to the
French front.
I'm connection with the expected drive
against Italy it Is stated that at least
forty new Austrian divisions have been
distributed along the Italian front. All
available artillery has also been trans
ferred from the Russian and Rumanian
fronts to the Italian front. Italy must
therefore be prepared for the coming
blow. which the situation in France
may have postponed. but which must be
met in very near future"

Examination of Physical Ability
Made, But Medical Board Has Not

Great interest is manifested in the
result of the medical examination of
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. as it will de-
termine whether he Is physically fit to
command troops in the field or whether
he Is physically able to perform only
the duties Of non-combatant.
The examination has been in prog
ress in this city. but the report Of the
medical board has not yet been sub
mitted to the War Department. His
friends declare that Gen. Wood is sound
organical1y and that his arm has not
been injured permanently by the wound
he received in a French trench last
January. The only doubt in his case
is as to whether his general health
has been affected by the injury to his
head, sustained many years ago. which
caused a partial paralysis Of his left
leg, causing him to walk with a slight
limp Pending action on his case. Gen.
Wood probably will resume command
