COURTESY

Courtesy is a rare jewel. which
enriches its possessor far beyond
the power Of many TO realize. The
very act of doing a refined deed,
of showing kindness and Difference,
makes one strnoger and nobler.
There is a sharp contrast to be
drawn between courtesy and hon.
age. or course we are polite and
courteous in our dealings with our
superiors, and perhaps with our
equals; but do we show that spirit
OF gentleness and respect, which
should, to a reasonable extent, ac-
company the relations between us
and our interiors? Laying aside
and enforced courtesy.
we come to that highest and most
form of it, which
truly shows our character, and the
mold Of our innermost thoughts.
That is the courtesy which springs
spontaneously from the human
heart.

STICK

From the numerous remarks that
have been heard on the campus, the
Academy Department fears the loss
Of a large number Of its students as
soon as this quarantine. is lifted.
There isn't any use locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen.
Neither is there any use in leaving
school after the trouble has passed.
II any carriers Of the germ are
found. they will be taken care Of
and will be separated from the
others as goats from sheep. Then
those who do not happen to be Sc
unlucky will be just as immune
here If not much more so than az
their own home.
The second half Of the year has
just started. Many of our students,
especially those who will be called
into services for Uncle Sam, would
regret the loss of four months of
much needed education. Be like
the postage stamp; stick to the end.
then, if there is any cause for alarm,
there will be time enough to leave
before another quarantine is made.

THE QUESTION


am sure we all agree with what
Miss Grace Gordon said in last
weeks Citizen regarding an educa-
ton. However, many Of us don'l
think of IL in terms Of the bayonet
bullet or bursting grenade. In my
estimation, an education in the ranks
of a nations army means more thai
anywhere else when the critical
time comes. Yes. The educated
soldier is the most efficient. II i:
evident that a large per cent Of the
enlisted personnel Of the German
and Austrian armies do not know
why they are fighting. ! don't mean
that they are uneducated. | mean
to say that they have not been edu
Gated in the affairs Of their govern
ment, and they have been deprived
of freedom Of thought.
My point of view is that we need
something TO invite our attention
TO the fact that we have room for
Improvement in our own ranks. We
have the best army in existence, but
we are seeing where an improve
ment could be made.
As a sergeant, have had an oppor-
tunity to assist in the instruction of
the recruits from two counties and
have had an opportunity to learn
something about each individual.
was much surprised to know SO
many could not write their name.
They were well-developed men and
will be a credit TO the nation. They
are good men. Now, these men are
not to be critisized under any cir
cumstances. Many have been de-
prived the opportunity of an educa-
ton, while others let the golden
moments go by. II is sad to hear a
man say that he let the moment slip
past. They are red-blooded Ameri-
cans and will do their part in the
great war game, but when they re-
turn and the reconstruction period
begins. when they build homes, and
have families of their own. things
will be different. They know what
it means without an education.
So my advice is. if you can't go 10
the trenches, go to school. You will
want to make a success in life. And
there will be a great opportunity
when this terrible war is over. Be
ready to play the game with firm
footing. Get all you can while you
can. Mr.. Wilson tells us that the
first duty of Marine is obedience,
the second is obedience, and the third
is obedience. Now your duty is to
prepare yourself for life and, if nee
essary, for the battlefield.

NEW YORK HAS
 |TS FIRST REAL
 R|OT OVER GOAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Jan. '1.-With another day of bitter cold and intense suffer- ing from the general fuel shortage New York had today it's first real coal riot. The disorder began when several hundred men, women and children who had lined up outside a large coal yard at 18th street and the East river, dis covered several loaded trucks leaving the yard after announcement had been made that there was no coal for sale.
 Some of those who had been waiting patiently with pails, bags, small wag- ons and baby carriages, at once began to stone the office windows. Others followed the trucks. unlocked the rear chutes and seized the coal that streamed into the street. Police re- serves were called and succeeded in restoring order when a representative of the coal company announced that coal would be sold in small lots after certain hospitals had been served.
 Early relief from the fuel shortage is expected to result from an order is. sued late today by William c. Me- Adoo, director general or railroads, per. hitting the Pennsylvania Railroad company's tunnel under the Hudson river heretofore devoted to passenger traffic to be used by incoming coal trains.
 Navigation from New Jersey termin- als across the Hudson to Manhattan Island is greatly impeded by ice floes and the Harlem river and Brooklyns water approaches are in the same con- dition. In addition to the handicap of ice there is a shortage of labor owing to the rigorous weather.
 The temperature today ranged from zero to six above at 10 o'clock tonight and a slowly rising temperature wal predicted by the weather bureau.

SUGAR SUPPLY sOON
 ID BECOME NORMAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wir.7

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA return to a normal sugar supply for the nation is not likely to be long deferred, the food administration announced tonight in outlining plans under which an in- creased allotment of sugar Will be made to confectioners and manufac- turers of on-essential food products containing sugar.
 The fifty per cent allotment to which confectioners were limited when the sugar shortage became acute in Octo- Der, will be increased to eighty per cent when the supply again becomes normal 1t was announced, but continuance of this ration will depend upon the ef- forts of manufacturers to reduce the sugar content of confectionery and soft drinks by substituting other sweetening materials.
 Through a misunderstanding, food administration officials in New York last week announced that refiners all ready had been instructed to increase the allotment to confectioners to so per cent and that the full pre-war al- loWance would be made when condi- tions had returned to normal. It was explained tonight that the maximum allotment would be so per cent of nor nal and that all manufacturers would be required to reduce the sugar content of their products as far as possible.

FEAR ANTARCTIC
 STEAMSHIP LOST
Republican A. 9. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Jan. 2-The Daily Mail says it is feared that the Antarrtic ship Aurora which took part in the Shackleton expedition has been lost with all hands whils returning to En- gland. It is understood the vessel sailed from Wellington, N. Z., in June with crew of about 22, and nothing has been heard from it since. Vessels sent out to search for it found only a life buoy marked Aurora" and some wreckage. Lloyds recently posted the Aurora as being considerably overdue.
 The Aurora, formerly a Newfound land sealing steamer. carried the Nav son Antarctic expedition to Adelie land in 1913 and rescued the expedition later in the same year. While going to the assistance of the Shackleton ex- petition early in 1Sl6, the Aurora was damaged and returned to New Zealand, after leaving some of its crew at Ross Barrier Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to rescue the members of the Aurora's crew in December, 1916. He found seven of them alive, but three others had perished.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.--In a New Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, calls upon representatives and organizers to make plain to their fellows the issues involved in the war and the obligation that devolves upon all citizens. He also emphasizes the importance of seeing to it that the spirit and methods of democracy are maintained at home while the country is -:gnting to estab- lish them in international relations.
 War means victory for our cause or danger to the very existence of our nation" says the address. With our nation at stake, individuals cannot in- terpose opposition to the war-a war declared by the will of the nations representatives. Under the exigencies of war, opposition to the war declared by constituted authority becomes treason.
 While this is true, there is even more than ordinary need for the main- tenance of the rights of men and women for careful scrutiny and the fullest discussion of policies and meth- ods before their adoption. The time for labor to interpose it's needs and contentious is while policies are in the making.
 "The fighting and the concrete is sues of the war are so far removed from the people of our country that not all of our citizens have a full un- dsrstanding of the issues involved. An understanding of the principles oi autocratic force. which the central powers desire to substitute for the real principles of freedom. makes clear to all citizens of this republic the ef-
