COLLEGE NOTES

1t was announced at Bowdoin coll
lege Saturday that Daniel Stanwood,
formerly of Augusta who has been
studying for several years at oxford
University, will give a course of lee
lures on international law in connec-
ton with the student army training
course. The study of international
law is considered to be of unusual
importance and interest in the train
ing Of Army officers.
The trustees of the University Of
Maine practically decided Saturday
to take over the fraternity houses for
dormitories and use the gymnasium
for a mess hall to accommodate the
big entering class expected to num-
Der about 500. 1t will more than
double the normal registration, due to
the new military ruling and will tax

modations unless some such action is

H.ustria's "Peaee" Sham

Austria, the monkey Of Prussian-
ism, is made to step forward and at
tempt to pull peace chestnuts from
the fire of world indignation.
The Central allies know the terms
of the Entente allies. These terms,
made plain by the American Presi-
dent, acquiesced in by Great Britain,
France and Italy, and approved by all
the world, were treated with high
and mighty contempt by the war
lor.s and with sneers by some who
epoke for Prussianism.
The terms presented by America
ant the Entente allies were called
form by Teuton peace" talk when
Germany was banking on the
strength OF her victories in Rus
STA and in Italy. The people Of the
Central countries were then conf
dent Of food. fuel. war material and
man power from conquered territory.
On the misrepresentation of the war
masters the masses were arrogant
and intolerant Today they are wiser
in many ways. They are beginning
to understand. They have seen the
rosy dreams Of a year ago fade into
bitter and degrading realities.
In September. 1917. peace hopes
were high in Europe where the du-
plicity G the Kaiser and his gang
were not understood. In 1918, in the
ninth month, enlightenment has come,
even unto darkest Germany. The
food promised from the great Rus
sian fields failed to materialize. The
plains Of Venetia are still under Ital-
ian cultivation. The U-boats have
not starved England, nor have they
prevented the movement of a mighty
American army to Europe. The
sweep to Paris and the Channel ports,
so freely promised in mid winter, has
proved a heart-breaking failure. Ev-
cry hour the food problem is more
acute. every hour the spread of dis
ease and death because of lack Of
nourishment is greater. The casual
ty lists Of six months are terrifying
in the homes and morale paralyzing
in the army. Young boys have been
snatched from their parents and sent
to the front lines.

taken. The absence of practically all
the upper class men will make the
fraternity houses available for new
students.
There will be no intercollegiate
football at the University Of Maine
this fall. it was announced Saturday.
The college will be on war basis,
with much military work. Nearly all
of the seasons schedule has heen

OUR BOYS
Our CoUNTRY'S SERVICE

Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Penniman OF
Winthrop have received an interest
ing letter from their son Earl Fen
niman who is serving his country IN
France He says, in part:
Dear Mother and Father:
At last we are doing our bit at the
front but believe me it is no job for
a nervous man, entailing lots of hard
work and hardship. We have the
Huns on the jump and as you al
ready know by the papers the Z. >.
boys are certainly wonders in close
fighting, capturing everything IN
sight, making q haul of 1900 prs
oners in one drive and some 200 ma
chine guns. We found German IN
and women tied to the guns so that
they could not run away, so by this
you can judge what we are up
against. OF course | cannot tell you
Just where we are but there are
ruins all around us showing the smell
fire of the boche. Here the French
people have fed to the cities and
towns. We have some Of the Won
derful French guns and are doing
most of the barrage fire for the In
fantry. We can sec nothing but VIC
tory and hope for a speedy end to the
war. l am taking up the ammunl-
ton end and hope to make good, al
! though there is lot to it for it
places the responsibility on us to fur
nish the goods at the opportune time.
So YOU see it behoOveS battery & to
do it's best. Yesterday l had a swim
in tn, river Somme which is very
narrow and very deep and certainly
enjoyed it after a hard days work.
The farmers are going to have large
crops and the country looks very
prosperous considering the hard
times they have had. | am feeling
fine and with good luck ! hope to be
with you all soon for although we
have the Germans on the move
think they will make one more stand
and finish. We are all feeling fun of
spirit and good spirit is half Of the
battle. Imagine my surprise in hear
ing some one say Hello Earl" At
first I paid no attention as Earl is
so foreign to me, but on looking
around / beheld Fred Benson and
| HeWett boy from East Winthrop. 1t
seems they had been transferred to
Battery d, 55th and they are along
with us as and D are the second
Battalion and move and work togeth-
er. We have many good talks to-
gether about Winthrop and its people.
He tells me Clyde is End lieutenant
in a Portland company. We have
been having good grub and good
quarters, the best Uncle Sam could
furnish uS. But now it is different
as we are on the move most of the
time and heavy artillery isn't the
easiest thing in the world to shift
about through fields, forests and riy-
ers. So believe me, when REST is
called we are about all in. We have
been ha ing lots of rain and the roads
are in bad condition but we figure
that the harder we work the sooner
we will be home and so are on the
jump when called upon.

Year Has Not Softened Terms

Peace arranged one year ago on
the basis offered by President Wilson
would have saved millions Of lives,
and treasure beyond calculation.
Germany alone has sacrificed L.
100000 men in killed, injured
and captured since March last-and
today the terms offered then by AM
erica and her allies have not been sof-
tened. Indeed the status of anti
Prussian conviction now is that if the
central empires can hold out" month
after month for the insane purpose Of
militarism. they can suffer privation
awhile in the payment Of indemnities
for the destruction they have caused.
Continued "frightfuness" in the
war methods of the Huns has not
softcned the Christian worlds heart
or weakened its determination. To-
day ali she rest Of the world hates
Hun brutality, Hun hypocrisy and
tIln rule. All must be wiped out be-
fore the war can be stopped. Peace
pretcnses only excite indignation and
contempt.
No peace car be made with Ho-
henzollern or a Hapsburg. Both
damnab.o dynasties must 90. The
people Of Germany must learn that
fact and act accordingly. If they
prefer to go on to determination for
the sake of saving for a little while
longer the necks of these degenerates,
so be it. but they may as we'll cease
their peace offensives.
Austria invites secret conclave
for "confd cutial and non binding dis
cussions." The allies have no pa
thence with secret proceedings. The
world Is interested and the world
must know. for 1t is the worlds busi-
ness.

1t will be recalled that some time
ago an Ohio State official, of Demo-
cratic persuasion, raised an awful fog
because his requisition for lead pen
ellis was filled by consignment of
pencils made in Germany. He de-
clined to use them, and his superiors
approved his stand. This was cited
by Democrats as a high example of
patriotism. They wanted to distract
attention from the fact that it was
Democratic tariff law which had load
ed our market with those German
pencils. Now the China Pencil Co,
capitalized by English and Chinese,
has commenced operations with a
factory in Shanghai, and the manu-
facturers have their eyes on the
United States as big market under
the present tariff law. They will not
be German pencils, but we will get
