S. A. r. c. IS STUDIED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Studies are being made of the situation in which the ending of the war leaves the students army training corps Secretary of War Baker said today in order that measures may be adopt ed to allow the release of such of its members as desire an immediate re turn to civil life, or who wish to con tinue in school but in purely academic courses.
 Mir Baker said that the colleges concerned would be assisted in re turning to their normal work, and that whenever they had student body sufficiently large to resume function ing on a pre-war basis, their obliga' tion towards the war department would be cancelled. Whenever it is found that a schools resources and students had been turned over to the government plan so far that the change cannot be made, he said, the present arrangement would be con tinued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-To aid in avoiding unemployment during the pc ried of demobilization, the war labor board today announced a plan where by a special secretary will be attach ed to the community labor boards in the chief employment centers. The duty of the secretaries will be to promote the work of the great labor boards. to forward policies to the United States employment service and to keep the war industries board and war department continually in formed of labor conditions, the abil- ity of plants to absorb more man power, or the possibility of loss of work by those already employed

The Quarantine

This day will prove whether or not there is virtue in the influenza quarantine, was remark made several times Monday in various languages Events did come for ward to offer proof and by reason of the alarming increase in the number of cases of influenza and pneumonia, with the ad- ditional feature of the diseases having at- tackled women and children with more ire quency than had been the case before the celebration, 1t was shown conclusively that the danger of more terrible epidemic than has been experienced was present.
 The public of the Warren district must be circumspect in its goings and comings, it must safeguard itself in every way, else 1t must suffer.
 Mondays spontaneous celebration ot peace was something no quarantine regula- ton could have affected. A regiment of police would have had difficulty in restrain ing the exuberance of the people. Even had they been so disposed, the few officers here could have done nothing. But the in- discretion must be paid for, it seems.
 At meeting of physicians with the board of directors of the Warren District Commercial club Friday night, decision was reached for continuance of the quar- antine for ten days, with the possibility of further extension unless very decided inn provement is observable in the situation.
 Figures which were well calculated to frighten any sane individual into the ex- ercise of care, were quoted by the doctors Dr. Bledsoe said that according to the ratio observable elsewhere, 40 per cent of the population was subject to contracting the disease upon exposure to it. There had been but 2500 cases here, so if this ratio was retained in the Warren district, more than five thousand persons face the dan ger. Ycu or 1 may be one of that five thousand, you know.
 One outstanding feature of the meeting was that the doctors agreed that the sov- ereign preventatives were plenty of fresh air and exercise, though it also was we'll to be irnmunized by vaccination.
 The moral is plain. Let your lungs drink in the fresh air and stimulate your system by plenty of exercise of the right kind. Be sure tc keep your window open at night. It will help keep the flu germs away.

united war work campaign: Tt is i'm pOrtant for us to remember that the great campaign in which we are all to unite and which calls for the sacri- ficial devotion of each one of us in a campaign not in the interest of any one organization, or of any seven or ganizations, but of our own boys and of the other boys associated with them in the American army and navy It is we'll that we thus humanize and per sonaliZe the whole undertakings Let each one fix his mind on some par ticular one of the millions of service flags and remind himself of the boy represented by that symbol and all that that boys means to the father and mother and the younger brothers and sisters and to us personally. as well as to the church and the nation. and the campaign then takes on an in- innate. personal significance and ev- cry compulsion of mind, heart and conscience calls upon us to be true to these boys and their best interests, and therefore, to leave nothing undOne which wholehearted service and gen uine sacrifice can do to insure the largest success of the campaign from association men.

HOLD YOUR BONDS

The money invested in Liberty bonds if kept so invested until peace is established will be worth much more than now.
 Every provident man and woman in the United States who holds his or her Liberty Bonds may find the money so invested worth twice as much in purchasing power after the war as now. How sure and safe an investment it is and how profitable an investment, to keep your money invested in Liberty bonds until its purchasing power becomes greater than at present. It IS a better investment than wildcat stock. It is better use and a wiser use of your mon ey than speculating with it.
 It is duty to your country and to your selves and to your children to hold your Liberty bonds.

ALBERT FOLK FEEL
 VIRGIN BROUGHT BAD
 LUCK FOR GERMANS
POPULAR FANCY WAS THAT so LONG AS STATUE STOOD HUNS WOULD WIN; IT FELL JUST AT TURNING POINT OF GREAT WAR AND HUN LOST

Correspondence Associated PresSl
 LONDON, Nov. 2-PeOple of Al bert, France. are convinced that their prophecy has been fulfilled. that when the famous statue of the Madonna at Albert fell the war would end in a victory for France and her allies fact that the statue was dislodged by German shell fire from its perch on the tower of the church at Albert, dur ing the first mad rush of the Hun through France in 1914 The base of the statue was SO shattered that it hung over the main road from Amiens to Bapaume which passed the walls of the church.
 The statue remained in that strange pOise after the Huns had been rolled back by the battle of the Marne An effort was made to brace the statue in its recumbent position SO that it could not fall until the tower itself gave way.
 When the British line was driven back 'in March last. the Hun again entered Albert and when the Germans retired at the beginning of the allied offensive the tower with its statue had fallen. This. curiOsly, marked the high tide Of German invasion. From that day on the Hun hOrdes were pushed back. The people of Albert believe luck of the Germans deserted them when the Virgin of A. bert fell

FREAKS STILL SURVIVE

In day when battle and blood have tainted the atmosphere with awful tones of drab grayness, anything that amuses us is doubly welcome. That it is non-essen- tial and piffling does not matter, The smiles the great thing after all.
 A gentleman in Boston, who evidently has lots of time to think of freakish things suggests as follows:
 30 Temple St., Boston, Mass. My Dear Sir
 Will you kindly ''try out" this sugges- ton in an article or two in your next issue and forward us a marked copy of the same. We are snding this out as a test If it takes well (and we believe that it wilD we have something further to add:-
 Use CIV for gu (cwick, frecwent) This was old English usage before the Norman invasion (l066); was classical Greek us- age; and is Spanish usage of today-Oc- CUTS once to about 400 words. Use cs for (mics necst). This was old Latin usage of the days of Cicero, and with us the x-sound IS served more often by cs, cks, ks, cts, (politics, stacks, books acts) than by itself-Occurs once to about 400 words See dictionary on q and X.
 Now, the point is this q and are worth less letters" ecscwisit' (exquisite); they have no vital associations clinging to them; they are barbarisms forced into English through invasion and it is rather disgrace for an intelligent people, now in the fore front of world affairs to be so backward and barbarious in its photography. Lets do little house cleaning If you will just try this out and give us chance we will show you something good to come out of 1t.
 Yours in good hopes.
 P. S.-Just O. K this idea and turn the matter over to the proof-reader, who will make the changes in the proof-reading- CIV for gu (cwick, frecwent); c, only, for que-final (picturesc ;-e-insert in anteic) Cs for (mics. necst); S, only, for Kin plural (bureaus) for x-initial.
 We would inform the gentleman. what ever or whenever he represents that The Review, like most other publications, is stung with a lot of qs and X which must be used in some manner Such spelling as he suggests might take well in some part of the world where Noah Webster and Ben Johnson never had penetrated.
 In our view, the English language has been able to stagger along fairly well for almost one thousand years, even though burdened with an occasional q and less frequent X. Those simplified spelling boys did few things to the written language several years agone. If any one wants to burden his readers by spelling frequent ''frecwent" that's their privilege. As for us we class this with other non-essentials in day of great things. Therefore we smile and pass on to other and more inn portant matters.
