Ut may be of interest to you to know how the students from Sayre college have been doing at our state university, for we are all human and crave a reasonable amount of encour- agement.
 May l venture, therefore, to remind you that for years it has been my priv- ilege to supervise some of the under graduate and graduate studies of the young men and women who come to Us frem the leading preparatory institu- tons of our commonwealth? So thor oughly trained have been the Sayre college graduates that all of them have received advanced standing from our entrance committee. Not only so, bu. the essentials of d liberal educa- ton had been so mastered that these young women easily ranked among the best students at this university
 Some womens colleges are a good deal more pretentious in regard to the details of their curriculum, and some may boast of greater numbers but in refinement and true culture Sayre col lege is unsurpassed by any southern institution of it's kind within my knowledge.
 Tn my Judgment, Sayre is doing work that has no precise duplicate anywhere. With the proper monetary support feel sure that it would speed fly acquire national reputation fer training young women in self-control, in contempt for humbug, in lasting discipline of mind and heart and spirit If you will pardon me for saying s9, since you and Dr. Spencer have taken

"wOMEN WANTED"

 ~ company. publishers, New York city
 The great war has won new place in the world for women In industry, in commerce, in the professions, in government they have arrived. Will they go home again with the coming of peace?
 Mabel Potter Daggett has recently rcftlrneti from Europe, where she went to make a study of the new position of woman. In her new book she pre- scnts the astounding record of the world made over to open every door of opportunity that the woman move rlent of yesterday crusaded in vain to reach.
 "Women Wanted" by Mabel Potter pasgett is a book that no woman liv- ing in these remarkable times can af- ford to miss
 The dramatic story of what Mrs Iaggett saw in England and France, where for the women in industry fac tories have been rebuilt and equipped for ther comfort, reads like fairy tale Her account of the complete equalization of the professions tells of victory for women as great IS tlsat at Verdun or the Marne. To eco- ncmic independence, citizenship now Is 2dded Even the gates of govern ment Mrs. Daggett shows swinging wide before the triumphant brigadas of the new woman movement whose ultimate aim is new world for new race. The whole prodigious situation confronting women today the author elucidates rather through the spiritual interpretation of the meaning of events than through the mere compilation of facts.

Says u. S. Opposes
Private Canal Lines
Board of Trade Official Insists
Tomlinson Statement Isn't
Borne Out by Facts

Captain Marcus II. Tracy. chairman
Of the canal committee Of the New
York Board of Trade and Transporta-
tion, issued statement yesterday as
serting that the alleged statement of
G. A. Tomlinson, of the inland water
ministration, that the government was
encouraging privat. use of the Barge
Canal was hard to reconcile with exist
ing conditions and with other state
ments of the administration committee.
Captain Tracy's statement, in part, fol-
lows:
II hear that Mr.. c. l.. Tomlinson de-
clares that the Federal government is
in sympathy with and desires to en-
courage private operation on the Barge
Canal. The government, or the rail
road administration, several weeks ago
formally determined upon the policy
that the operation of independent lines
would not be permitted upon the Barge
Canal.
"Mr. Tomlinson is reported as say
ing that several fleets other than the
one operated by the Federal govern
ment are conducting business on the
canal. He refers to five steamships of
the Barge Canal Transit Corporation.
These five steamships are little power
packets Of only 150 tons each. They
are SO small as to be useless to the
railroad administration.
Enquiries made at Mr.. Tomlinson' s
Office, so Church Street, this city, as
late as last Tuesday elected the in
formation that rail and canal rates are
the same"

Socialists Joining
American Alliance

Movement in Minneapolis
Already Lined Up for the
War, Asserts Maisel

eve have captured the socialist
movement in Minneapolis and lined it
up for the war; within month we will
have the Socialists of Milwaukee in
line, and then we will proceed to line
up Detroit" said Robert Maisel, di-
rector Of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, Of which Samuel
Gompers is the head. on his return to
New York yesterday from the conven-
tion of the American Federation of
Labor in St. Paul.
"One year ago; when the alliance
held Its conference in Minneapolis,
Mayor Thomas Van Lear, who insisted
on standing on the anti-war platform
adopted by the Socialists in St. Louis,
took no part in the meetings." said Mr..
Maisel. Last week he Joined the alli-
ance, thereby repudiating the St. Louis
platform; took part in extending a
special welcome to the members of the
labor mission to France and England,
whose report the socialist delegates to
the American Federation of Labor ~on-
vention refused to approve, and aided
in organizing a branch of the alliance,
More than that, the Central Trades
and Labor Assembly. which has been
socIalistic and anti-war and a.year ago
declined to take part in the labor 10y
atty movement, Is solidly behind the
Minneapolis branch of the alliance, and
X. D: Cramer, editor of The Advocate, ,
the local organ of the socialists, has
come into line.
AT bottom the labor movement in
Minneapolis was sound at all times, but
bad leadership and a failure to really
understand the situation were RESPONSE
Die Tor Its being stronghold Of paci-
fism and all that that implies. Now
that Its leaders have seen the light and
the, rank and file educated up to a
realization that this is labor's war,
there will be no more trouble with
pacifism. It is knockout blow for the
Bergers and Hillquits.
What is more than that, Berger's
own town, Milwaukee, will, so far as
labor is concerned, repudiate the So
cialist anti-war doctrines which have
to great extent controlled tho move
ment there. Within The month we will
have Milwaukee in line. Berger is on
the run there now.
"That will leave but one stronghold
Detroit-and that Is rapidly getting
into line.
"The outstanding feature of the Min
neapolis situation is that the socialist
movement there is an American move

and bred. Furthermore, it lined up
with the loyal labor men and pro-war
Socialists without any solicitation on
