 Professor Hart described his ac- quaintance with pro-Germans and declared he had not shared their views at any time. He said he re- fused to join the German University Alliance at the invitation of Otto Merkel of New York, because he did not wish to become identified with such an organization. If he were properly classed as a German he declared, his associates in Harvard and elsewhere could properly class hirn as a hypocrite and he cited many articles written by him and publish ed in New York newspapers and else where in which he condemned the violation of Belgium.

 The Soldiers and Workmen's Coun- cil of Cologne is cooperating quietly with the old city government after the stormy days of 9 month ago.
 The first flare of the revolution in Cologne came on November ' when 60 marines arrived here fresh from the mutiny in KieI and started trouble for the authorities. The way already had been. well paved by Russian Bolshev- iti who appear to have taken advan- tage of the hard conditions resulting form the war to stir the people to dis content.
 The coming of the revolutionist ma r1nes was heralded in advance but although there were 10000 German troops in the city, no effort was made to prevent the delegation from car Tying on it's work. The marines quickly secured followers and on the night of the day Of their arrival raid ed the jeSl, liberating between 4,00O and 1000 criminals.
 | German troops holding the city were disarmed by the revolutbonists and the officers were stripped of their ep- aulets without much resistance. ] That night was one of terror. The 1 liberated criminals made the most of their freedom and a considerable number of people were killed. How many died never will be known be- cause the bodies were thrown into the Rhine. As the governor of the dis trict showed no inclination to take a hand in the matter, the burgomaster decided to straighten out affairs him. Leo Workmen's Council to the city hall The revolutionary council proved req sonable and the burgomaster succeed ed finally in getting the upper hand over the mobs. At present the coun- Gil is composed half of moderates and half of independents who are a close approach to anarchists. There is nc trouble at the moment, although the political situation is cloudy.
 According to Burgomaster Adnauer the rising was due to the inability O the poor to obtain food and clothing owing to the scarcity of these neces sities. He thought there was littI reason to doubt, however, that thu trouble also was due in part to thu freshly inculcated Bolshevik idet

 ..Wc know Germany can be whipped. but the sooner America sends all her rc- sources the sooner the job will be finished. It is not going to be finished until that is dome; aud every day lost, every man with hcld is merely causing unnecessary sac rircs

Astounding as the announcement of a jcrmau-supportcd plot for an uprising in rclaud may seem on the surface, it is not
 cause to marvel at if one can get the Sim 'cucr's point of view. This faction is de- otcd to the belief that Ireland is not a artucr in the United Kingdom, but a cap i've; that it was not consulted about the .ar and that the first business of it's pco- 1lc is to obtain their own freedom Less han this does not enter into the Sim Fem program.

One of the strangest stories coming from France is that of the Soldiers Univcr- ;itv" planned by the American govern ncut for the benefit of our cXpcditionary 'orccs. The life of Sammy abroad is by no means 10 be all fighting There are to be 300 class rooms extending along the rear If the Amcrcan lines, in the Y. M. C. A. 5uildmg. And there will be teachers avail ,blc for almost any sort of instruction that he soldiers desire, says am exchange.
 College men who interrupted their curses to join the army will be enabled carry on their studies, under competent ncn. and will be given certificates for com Dlctcd work which will receive credit at American educational institutions on their return. Men desiring technical instruction am obtain that Those wanting to learn French will be supplied with native teach IFS. Men whose educational advantages were limited at home can take work in the three R's.'
 Along with all this there will be a sort If educational propaganda, calculated to miliarizc our soldiers with the mstitu- ions, customs, ideals and genius of Amer ca, France, England and the other allied 'atious, and along with them the present ay ideals of Germany, so that Sammy will understand clearly the issues at stake and he cause he is fighting for
 This is am admirable extension of army raining. The war in itself is almost lib- ral cducatou. Through these schools cv- ny man will be enabled to get the best out ,f that bitter but fascinating school of con 'ict..
