Plans of the Federal government to
combat social diseases as health and
not police problem were generally
approved at the meeting yesterday Of

ended a three-day session at the Ma
tlonal Young Women's Christian AS
sociation headquarters, 600 Lexington
Avenue.
Seventy-fve women physicians from
every part of the country, in addition
TO deans OF women's colleges and lead
ers OF other groups, attended the con-
terence. The doctors are among the
lecturers who have been speaking un-
der the direction of the social morality
committee of the National Y. W. C. A.
1T was disclosed yesterday, in connec-
tion with the Federal programme for
fighting vice, that three months cam
palgn OF education in social standards

vital movement had received absolutely
no publicity.
During March, April and Nav 200
LECTURES have been deliverctk in high
schools, libraries and social centres by
twenty-five local women physicians. un-
der the direction of DR.. Josephine Ken
yon: The talks were given to three
groups-young girls from fifteen to
twenty-one years old, to mothers and
older women, and to leaders of clubs,

earnestpess with which the sons of
Nassau had met the war. Instead of
the usual senior class of three hundred
or more only seventyfour remained
eligible for diplomas, and of these only
fifty-two were able to be present to re-
ceive them.
Five hundred 'war certificates" were
awarded to former students who had
left college to go to war. These GER
tificates were composed by Dean An
drew T. West of the graduate college,
and set forth that the recipient gave up
a college course for his country's SER
vice, and it is believed that he would
have obtained degree had he remained
ut college.
Of alumni and undergraduates
Princeton has sent 1888 to war. The
number of undergraduates was so dim
the usual campus activities in connec-
tion with commencement. DR.. John
Grer Hibben, president of the uni
versity. expressed something of the
sober realization of transformation
that pervaded the exercises when he
said in his closing address,:
II have been accustomed to look out
of our prospect windows from the
south and have seen the rim of the
horizon knowing that just beyond that
is the Atlantic Ocean which was the
eastern boundary of the United States
Now | think of America not as ending
just beyond that reach of fifty miles OF
land for l think of the eastern bound
ary of the United States as being the
Hindenburg line in France"
The degree Of Doctor of Laws was
conferred also upon Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the War Council of the
American Red Cross, and on Benjamin
Strong, governor Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York and chairman
of the Liberty Loan Committee of that
district. The degree of Doctor of Let
ters was conferred upon Booth Tarking-
ton, who was graduated from Princeton
in 1898.

Burn German Textbooks

TARRYTOWN. N. Y, June 15.-The
German language and German text
books have been eliminated from the
North Tarrytown High School.
At meeting of the Board of Educa-
tion recently a motion was passed that
teaching of the German language be
discontinued and that the question of
disposng of the German textbooks be
left with the finance committee. Last
night, at the close Of the Flag Day ex-
ercises, Winfield J.. Morse, chairman,
announced that the committee had de-
cided to burn them. They were carried
to the lawn, soaked with oil and g
torch was applied
AS the flame shot in the air the
crowd that had gathered gave a cheer.
The North Tarrytown High School is
the first in the county to take such
action.
The Tarrytown Board of Education
has voted to take similar action to
make the Tarrytowns 100 per cent
American. German newspapers have
been barred.

Re-enfer Parliament
tBu The Assocsated Pressl

DUBLIN, June 15.-The members of
the Irish Nationalist party have decided
to return to Parliament the week after
next.
The Irish Nationalists temporarily
withdrew from attendance in Parlia-
ment as a protest against the govern
ment's proposal to apply conscription
to ireland. 1t has been indicated re-
Gently that the Irish party's represen-
tatives would return to the House of
Commons to take part in the debates,
particularly on the question of the
Sim Fein arrests. The situation that
induced the Irish members to with
draw has been modified by the govern
ment's proclamation calling for volun-
tary recruits in Ireland.

FOretOn preeo P,~o,,

There has recently been a strike in
the munition factories of France that
was with difficulty settled by the gov
ernment and the men persuaded to 90
back to work. The reason for the
strike lies in the sinister rumors
spread through the country by Ger
man agents that Americas part in the
war was to be to send workmen to
France to fill the French factories,
while the French workmcn were to be
sent to the army. The final result, it
was said, would be that such French
workmen as lived through the war
would come home to find their places

friends, instead of interfering. had left
them to the lighter punishment of in
ternment.
The immediate purpose of the gov
ernment is to make success of the re-
ecrulting campaign. They are handing
1t over entirely to civilians drawn from
an the political parties. Most notable
among these workers is Sir Horace
piunkett. chairman of the recent Irish
Home Rule convention at Dublin. Local
committees will be formed on this prin-
clple in every district.
Pro-Ally propaganda, hitherto en-
tirely neglected in Ireland, will be un-
dertaken.
