ing have gradually been lowered I'M
til the final examination has been
pushed back fully two classes. All
these conditions have influenced our
students and have weakened their
persistence, since they see that they
can attain scholastic standing
without effort that formerly demand
ed the severest application.
Young people follow the law of
their nature. They are guided by
the impressions of the moment and
they cannot permanently resist them
In addition, as time went on, espe-
cially in case of the students of
higher institutions, and particularly
in the towns, the hardship of made
quate nourishment appeared. 1t is
the unanimous judgment of medical
specialists that the children of the
middle classes suffered most in this
respect. General attention was at
tracted to the fact that the children
were less sensitive to reproof, that
they paid no more attention to threat
because the school authorities had
directed that they should be treated
with every leniency, and since pro-
motions no longer represented any
definite standard Of accomplishment.
This special consideration for the
children was most obvious in the
schools of the large cities. Was not
harvest work and the country vaca-
ton necessary to maintain the health
of the coming generation, and was it
not necessary for a great many to be
set back in their studies so that they
required repeated concessions to
maintain their rank and thereby con-
tinually lower scholastic standards of

THE spirit Of voluntary service
| which at the beginning of the war
revealed itself in it's fairest aspect
| has now disappeared. Everywhere
we hear lamentations over the in
creasing distaste shown for military
! service. Pupils collect articles now
| for the reward, not from patriotism
and the older pupils have their strug
! giles. Shall they take advantage OF
/ the opportunity to leave school with
| a half-completed education, or shall
| they avoid placing themselves in a
+! position where they will have to en-
list for their country? What an
unhappy indecision even for the best
| of them, those who really think about
| the matter.
Furthermore, in these ranks OF
| society which are less Influenced by
/ tradition, discipline, and education,
we find increasing violations of the
law. At the first this manifested it
self merely in an increase of theft.
| More recently it has taken decided
turn toward personal assaults. 1t is
true, the latter are still negligible in
proportion to the total number Of
juvenile offences, but they are in
ereasing every year. Already the
number OF Violent CRIMES committed
by youths in the city of Berlin is
more than three times the number
reported in 1914.
Every disciplinary influence, every
effort of the still fundamentally
sound German nation must be eXer-
ted to oppose this tendency, and to
lead the children back to the path OF
rectitude "

Effect OF The War On

In response to requests for infor-

translations from an article by DR..
Paul Hildebrandt, in the Vossische

After reciting the early enthusiasm
of German youth for the war, and
their activities in behalf of war mea-
sures, the article continues:

MILLION MI: TRlFTED
BY LAW JUST SIGNED
President Approves Bill to
Register June 5.

Washington, May 21.-President
Wilson signed the bill and proclama-
ton which calls 100000 men, who
have reached the age of twenty-one
since last June 5, to register for mill
tary duty on June next.
The president made the bill law
at 11.30 o'clock and within few min
had set in motion the machinery which
will place approximately 100000 more
men in the uniform of the United
States army.
OF the 100000 men made available
for service, it is estimated that 300,-
600 will be exempted for physical or
Industrial reasons.
The registration will be similar in
every way to that conducted last year,
except that it will be made by the
local registration boards instead of the
civic election boards All records of
the latter will be used
Army officials decline to predict how
soon the new registrants will be call
ed to training camps After they have
been registered they will be asked to
ill out the QUESTIONABLE which, in
effect, will be the basis for decisions
reached by exemptions boards.
Under the new law the men will be
placed at the bottom of the list Of
men who are now listed in class /. In
other words, they will not be called
for service until the 100000 or more
Ai - t4ls--aa eeerted have been eelled-
the environments and completed train
ing.
From progress made in training
troops in the past it would appear that
the 100000 men now in class l will
not be ready to leave for France be-
fore the close of this year. Many Off
Gals believe that the new men will
not be called to the training camps
before January.

U-39 DAMAGED IN FIGHT
Submarine That Sank Lusitania and

Submarine That Sank Lusitania and
Attacked PetroIite in Spanish Port.
Madrid. May 21.-The German sub
marine U-39, says an official despatch
from Cartagena, entered the port.
The U-39 is seriously damaged as
the result of battle Another subma-
rine accompanied the U-boat to the
entrance of the port, then disappeared.
The U-39 is 900 feet long 1t carries
a crew of thirty. The crew has been
forbidden by the authorities to com
municate with sore. The submarine
is being guarded by the Spanish cruis-
er, Estramadura.
The U-39, according to German ad-
vices, is the submarine that torpedo
ed the Lusitania off Kinsale, May Z,
1915. March II, 1916, it was reported
in Washington it was the U-39 which
attacked the American tanker Petro-
lite off the coast of Egypt in Deem
Der, 1915. 1t is possible the old U-39
may be out of service by this time
and her number taken by new boat.

4 GARY TALE
AMONG THE LIONS.
| s. hAM GA leR

Great roars came from the lions.
First King Leo started and then Queen
Leoline followed with her deep, ter
prince lions and the two princess lions
| rOared. Later still the cubs joined in
They were still quite gentle, for lions
as they were only four months old.
Come to safety. come to safety"
was what King Leo was trying to
say, And the queen was answering
him: "Come from the storm. A great
and frightful storm is approaching.
Come, all the lions. Everyone come
where it is safe"
Now the people in the zoo all
focked to the dens of the lions, for
they wondered what all the noise was
about. They had never heard such
roaring and they did not know whether
the lions thought they had beautiful
voices and were giving a concert or
whether jungle fight was about to
take place.
The lions hate storm, and the sky
was getting dark, while the air felt
heavy. If lions could talk they would
be the worst weather grumblerS in
the world, for they hate bad weather.
II can't feed Them" said the keeper.
''They must eat only one meal day,
and on Sunday they cannot have a
bite Of food. for if they did they
would get ill and not eat all the
week. They are fed beef and they
must rest sometimes, for when they
do eat they have such enormous
meals. In the morning they roar for
their food, but it is afternoon and I
can't stop their roaring now. Only
the storm king could do that and old
King Thunder"
The thunder was clapping, the light
ming was flashing and the lions were
roaring. An early spring storm the
grown-ups called it, but the lions were
saying: Danger, danger, a storm is
here"
Now it is very strange that the
lions should call to each other when
they know a storm is coming. And
at night In the zoo they roar and call
always they answer. They do 1t in
the jungle or the zoo. But in the zoo
they are not so friendly. Two of the
king lions or two of the prince lions
could not be kept together. They
would kill each other. And so would
two of the queen lions. Sometimes the
king and queen or prince and prin-
cess will be friendly, but they do not
like their own kind In the zoo. The
males hate the males, the females
other females. This is the zoo way.
Out in the jungles they are too busy
hunting for food to be SO warlike
with each other.
But still they call to each other at
night in the zoo just as they would
out in the jungle. And when a storm
comes they warn each other Of dam
ger. If they could be put together
even at such a time, however, they
would fight to the death.
1t was the following morning and
the storm had passed. Princess Lion
was looking at the cubs in the next
cage. She sat there with her paws
crossed and her big eyes looking very
fierce. The cubs were playing with
their breakfast Of meat bones and fine
red meat. "Oh," thought the prfn-
cess, "if I could get my paws on one
Of those cubs and tear him to pieces"
Il hate my children anyway" said
Prince Lion the first, who was pacing
up and down In the cage at the other
