Huns MaIieIousness Proved.


Some additional light Is shed on the
German destruction Of the magnificent
edifice that has been described as
"frozen music" in an interview that
Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Reims,
granted the editor of EverybOdy's,
Howard Wheeler, who reports 1t in the
September number. "As you know"
the archbishop told Mr.. Wheeler, "the
Germans have stated that the French
army had been using the towers Of
the cathedral for observation purposes
and that guns had been concealed
there. The fact is that the French
leaders, fearing that harm would come
to the cathedral, refrained at all times
from using it for any military pur-
poses whatever. When the lombard
ments were commenced Immediately
wrote a letter to the pope, in which ]
solemnly swore, on my honor as a
man and as a prelate Of the church,
that never had I abandoned my ca
thedral since the beginning Of the war,
and that never at any time had it been
used for military purposes. All to no
avail. The bombardment still contin-
ues and at regular intervals my old
cathedral is battered piecemeal-and
it breaks my heart"

HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS
FOR THE ARMY BOYS

The University of Idaho and other
institutions of similar grade in re-
ceiving s. A. T. G. students for army
training, accepted candidates with
thirteen units or twenty-six credits.
It thus happened that persons who
had not completed high school work
were admitted for the training. All
s. A. T. G. students are now being
discharged from the army and many
will desire to return to high school
for graduation.
The department of education
stronly recommends to high school
faculties that these cases be treated
with the greatest consideration. The
case of boys in regular camps and
who have had no academic work pre-
sents a more difficult problem.
Nevertheless, in view of the large
education value of the environment,
discipline, experiences, and world
vision, the department of education
advises that these returning students
be treated with the greatest liberality
and that as great credit be allowed
IS is compatible with sound educa-
lion.

WILSON TAKES u
RUSSIAN PROBLEMS
EFFORTS TO DETERMINE Def.
MITE POLICY FOR UNITED
STATES AND HER ALLIES.
Attitude to Be Adopted by Victorious
Nations Thought to Be One
Of the Most Serious
Items.

WashingtOn.-The Russian problem
already has been taken up by Presl-
dent Wilson with French statesmen,
1t was learned here Tuesday, and the
determination of definite policy on
which all the allied countries and the
United States may agree will be one
of the first things undertaken at the
preliminary meetings which are to
precede the peace conference.
Russia's plight and the attitude to
be adopted by the victorious associated
nations is recognized as one Of the
most serious problems of the confer
ence. Every proposed solution So far
is said to have been blocked by the
unanswered question of who is quail
fed to speak for the Russian people.
The government at Omsk, of which
the United States and other govern
ments4 expected much, is now in the
hands Of a dictator and split into fac
lions. The entente nations have not
given up hope that the Omsk authori-
ties may yet evolve stable form Of
government for Russia, but this has
not been accomplished now and none
Of the allied governments has recog-
nized the Omsk regime officially, al
though all Of them are dealing with
Russian representatives who are in
close touch with Admiral Kolchak and
his government.
Prince Lvoff, who was premier in
the Kerensky cabinet and who has de-
voted most of his life to the develop
ment Of the zemstvo system in Russia,
and Boris Bahkmetieff, Russian am
bassador in Washington, appointed by
Kerensky, as well as Professor Paul
Milukoff, Kerensky's minister of for
eign affairs, are on their way to Paris
or already there with other prominent
Russians to do whatever they can to
aid the allies in the solution of the
Russian, problem. But whether they
represent the people Of Russia at this
time is a question which it privately Is
admitted can not be answered here.

The end of the great war has come
and must say, much sooner than |
expected. came over here not
knowing when, or whether ever, |
would get back, so you might know
! that we are overjoyed at the bright
ening prospects of an early return.
You just can't imagine how happy
will be when l can go where l want
to, and without getting a pass. And
am getting tired of these khaki
clothes too. Civilians will never
know how tired one gets of wearing
the same old things all the time.
Have any of the boys from home
been killed? hope not, but l don't
have any chance of finding out only
thru you people at home.
l am glad l did not stay at Fort
Douglas when l had the chance.
wouldn't have gotten nearly so much
out of my army life as l have.
am not home yet but hope to be
soon, and | won't shed any tears,
either. 1t is certainly good to know
that you are all well at home and
rhat you got through with the "flu"
alright. ! think you can thank your
lucky stars. We had it over here but
there were many of us who didn't
get through.
1t is nearly Thanksgiving time. I
think / will have more to thank
God for this year than last. l can
thank Him for my life, and for the
great victory he has blessed us with.
[ feel that we all have more to be
thankful for than ever before in our
lives.
Well, | have told you about all l
can this time, so will close.
Your loving son,
LAURENCE.
