FREE SPEECH HAS
 ITS LIMITATIONS
(The Outlook)

Freedom of speech, whether in col leSe, pulpit, press or street, is subject to the same fundamental limitations as freedom of activity A man has no more right to use his tongue to the injury of his neighbor or his coun- try than he has to use his fist to their injury. The right of speech does not mean Irresponsible speech. The right of free press does not mean irresponsi- ble printing. The right of free press and free speech does not mean that the soap box orator has right to lampoon his fellow citizens of a different race political opinion or religious faith, and incite to mob violence; it does not mean that the press has a right to lampoon the government and incite readers to resist the law of the land and give aid and comfort to the en- emy; it does not mean that d college professor has a right to take advantage of his position to conduct 8 propagan- da against the efficient conduct of the war and use the name of the col lese in doing so The doctrine that speech and press should be uncensored still leaves the government unimpaired authority to punish the speech or the article if 1t violates or incites others to violate the laws of the land.

MESA bOYS WIN IN BASKETBALL CAME
 WITH PHOENIX M

In what was the fastest game played thus far this season the basketball team of the Mesa High school defeated the local high school team by the close score of 2S to 21. The Phoenix High saved the reputation of their school by defeating it's opponents, the Mesa girls, by the score of to 4.
 Immediately following the game an enjoyable dance was held. both schools entering into the spirit of the thing as If no rivalry had ever existed between them. The Phoenix boys left for home at an unseemly hour for athletes. but with the friendly determination to play a little harder in the next game with Mesa
 The game with Mesa marks the mid de of this years basketball season, and the most expert mathematicians would have to sit far into the night If he were to try. to figure out just which school has the best chance to- ward winning the state basketball championship. At any rate Mesa is in the running and P. H. s. will have to get down to cases if she is to win the cup.
 The next game to be played by the local high school team is one with Miami High school. It will take place tonight at the Y. M. C. A. and should prove to be one of the most exciting i games of basketball that will be played 1 on a local court. Athletic association

 Arras is situated on the Scarpe and the main line of the French Northern railway between Paris and Brussels being 137 miles from Paris and 97 from Brussels. Many Americans have passed through the city, though it is not a place at which many have stopped to visit It lies in the fertile plain with Vimy ridge six miles to the north.
 Its history dates back beyond the Christian era, it being the capital of Gallic tribe of the Arebates before the Roman conquest. Saint Jerome mentions it in the fourth century as being a city then well known for its rich tapestries. The gospel was first preached there also in that century by a Greek priest named Diogenes. who was martyred there. The place was so completely destroyed by the l Nandals later that only faint traces now remain of the Roman period. It | quickly revived, however, and became a great center of tapestry weaving. "Arras'' today, in England and Amer ica, is synonym for richly figured hangings. The finest tapestries of | l the cathedrals and palaces of Europe, ! the finest being in Constantinople. Arras boasted of a charter as early l as 11S0, but in spite of the freedom supposed to be granted with this char
 ter the city was ravaged successively by many hostile armies, the walls finally raZed, the people deported, and
 the city's name changed to Franchise Charles VIII restored the place to its
 people and once more permitted the
 name of Arras.
 The city was sold during the French
 revolution and its magnificent cathe-
 dral torn down, this outrage being
 committed by a native of the city. Joseph Lehon. who later organized and
 directed the Reign of Terror" Two
 other natives of the city were Maxi
 milien and Augustin Robespierre, also
 famed for their inhuman cruelty. An
 interesting incident in the life of the older brother is that as a young man
 he resigned his office as criminal judge in Arras rather than sentence guilty man to death; yet later. as a member ; of the Commune and of the committee of public safety in Paris, he was re- sponsible for converting the streets , into rivers of blood, fed by the guillo- 5 tines.

St. Quentin is south of Lens and Of the famous Vimy ridge p miles. It is in the department of hisne, France. on the right bank of the Somme, at the juncture of two canals. one join ing the Somme with the Scheldt and the other with the Disc.
 In ancient times it stood at the meet ing place of five military roads and was a walled town. It is named for Galus Quintinus, who came from Italy as a preacher of Christianity to the Gauls and was one of the first martyrs of the church. His tomb and that of his fellow martyrs, Victorious and Genatius, are in the crypt of the Collegiate church of St. Quentin and for centuries have been a place of pill grimage This church, one of the finest Gothic buildings of northern France, was begun in the twelfth cen- tury and finished in the fifteenth. It resembles the beautiful Rheims cathe- dral that has been shattered so badly; in size it is 436 feet in length, with a nave that is PA feet in height. The Hotel de Vile is another splendid Gothic building, decorated with sculp- ture and surmounted by three pointed gables; it dates from the fourteenth century.

 The Germans ruthlessly took pos session of this collection of paintings when they captured St. Quentin three years ago and the pictures are now in Munich, a Munich paper stating:

 One notices how few white pique skirts are worn by women this year in comparison to gaberdine and other materials. The reason is that previous to the war St. Quentin manufactured pique for all the world along with win dow curtains, white embroideries, cre- tonnes and tulle.
