PRODUCTIVE WORK
FOR COLLEGE FELLOWS

The old days when college students spent the summer
batting tennis balls rigging in white flannel suits and
frockng with the girls have gone by This year you
will find them wearing overalls pitching hay, getting
hard hands and tanned faces. Still they will probably
know what in the way of femnimty exist IN
their neighborhood.
The colleges have made splendid response to the de-
mands for war service Applications for 10000 enroll
cards for work have already been made to
the United States employment service. In one college,
Dartmouth only eight students had not enrolled for war
work. The University of Wisconsin has asked for 800
cards. and is urging every to get out and help Only
10 per cent of the students of the University of Kansas
are unpaced
And so it goes all the country The business of
the college not merely to teach dead learning but ct
zenshp The colleges that send practically solid body of
students to FARMS shpyards, and munton plants will
show that they have comprehended the fundamental
pose for which they exist.
An educated young should have no feeling that
it is beneath him to do the most aborous service In the
trenches the of educated and wealthy doing the
rough things the of toll The hard
things need doing just much the tasks of brain work
and there is equal credit in them.
These students will not know much about farming and
other things they take up. But if education amounts to
anything, it will enable them to take in ideas quickly
The student will bring enthusiasm to his task and before
the summer is over he will do heap of work.

heard gunshot from within and the
wood splintered outward almost into

though 1t was hard work. Men were
fighting all around and below him,
meanwhile, and he wondered vaguely
what made them kill one another when
he and his negroes were all dead or
dying. 1t seemed very strange-of a
piece with the general unreality of
things-and 1t troubled him not lit

bleeding, too, from more than one
wound, but he could walk, after a

He was inclined to stay and finish
the fight, but he recollected that Rosa
would be waiting for him and that he
must go to her, and so he set out
across the fields, staggering through
the charred cane stubble. The night
was not so black as 1t had been, and
this puzzled him until he saw that the

were belching from its windows, cast.

WILSON'S LONDON
TRIP SIGNIFICANT
The Guardian, a British Newspaper,
Indicates That -Momentous At
fairs Are in Balance-Hoov-
er and Food Situation.

Manchester England, Dec. 49,
In commenting editorially upon
President Wilson's visit to London,
now in immediate prospect, the Guar
dian today regards it as signifying
that the president means business
which the leisurely arrangements
previously contemplated hardly
seemed to imply"
at is unnecessary to speculate .
continues the newspaper, upon the
precise causes of this sudden change
of plans, but obviously the circum-
stances Of the moment are not such
as brook delay. The newspapers
from Germany show that two things
are essential if order is to be kept
and stable government maintained
the population must be fed and the
industries started by the returning
soldiers and munition workers
thrown out of employment, and yet
hear of nothing effective being done.
"Mr. Hoover has been here nearly
a fortnight. He has q vast task to
perform. Has he all the resources
and all the authority he needs. He
has immense experience and energy,
but no man can make bricks without
straw, and we are not so sure about
the straw"
Before he left America, says the
Guardian, "Mr. Hoover said he favor
ed the raising of the blockade, but
his statement to this effect, it says
was not allowed to appear in Eng
land, the opposite impression being
conveyed instead.
"Has Mr. Hoover changed his
mind? Has he been overruled, or is
the decision pending? The newspaper
inquiries.
The Guardian refers to the impos-
sibility of an indefinite stay by Pres
ident Wilson, who had come with def
mite principles and policy, it says
which the allies had formally and
definitely accepted but the president
could not have been long in Paris, it
adds, without discovering what it
calls the strange discrepancies be-
tween "this professed acceptance and
the sectional and purely nationalistic
demand put forward by various coun-
tries, not excluding our own"
The Guardian believes that Pre-
mier Lloyd George desires to act with
President Wilson, but that explana-
tons and the reaching of definite
agreement are needed. No step in adj
vance can be taken until this is done,
it declares.
