But the wise man Of the Belasco The

There are some other indications in
this play Of Mr.. Belasco's confidence
in good acting. The comedy Of John

other proof His passages with the

for Friends colleges taking the atti-

the beginning Of the socity, more than
two hundred and fifty years ago, II
has maintained a consistent testimony
with reference to these things. run

II Is fortunate that this true, Tor ,he

even been merely a philosophy, put
has been a powerful, moral lmpera-
tive.
Our colleges have been founded,

who believe in the fundamental fr'n-
ciples of Ouakerism, which fundamcn
tai principles are opposed to partici-
patton in military affairs Conse
ouently, 1t would be breach or trus,

the fact that those from whom we
have in the past received support and
those from whom we may expect IN
the future to receive support, would
be alienated if military training had
been adopted. it is easily seen that
even on the economic basis the right
course has been pursued. Again, 1t
is permitted one to conclude that Dy

leges will be very similar as to the
matter of attendance of men. 1t IS
ma nifestly the intention of the War

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--Secretary
OF War Newton D. Baker has arrived

announced Sunday night. He was ac-
companied by party OF war depart
ment officials.
The secretary's trip, the second ne
has made to Europe this year, was
made aboard transport which car
ried the usual number OF United
States troops.
Before Secretary Baker left for Eu'
rope he stated informally that when
the personnel Of his party became
known the Importance OF the trip
would be disclosed automatically The
object is acceleration and high power
expansion in war munitions and men.
II was known that Mr. Edward X.
Stettinius, former assistant secretary
OF war; and recently relieved OF his
duties In order to give his entire
time to army work, in France, had pre-
coded Secretary Baker abroad. Mr..
Ctettinius is vested with extraordl-
nary powers over supplies an dgeneral

In response to a petition to the un-

asking for military training, the fol-
low reply was made:
Your petition, asking that the

careful consideration. Your eager

hour of its dire necessity has our deep
sympathy.

| Though not strictly a sectarian in

| for more than ESQ years, has consist
entity testified against war as meth

disputes. Its campus, every building
upon it, and quite three-fourths of its
endowment of 100000, have been
contributed by those in sympathy with
that testimony. In view of these
facts the board feels that the intro
duction OF course in military training
would constitute a breach Of trust. Il
+, further feels that it would be unwise
now for this institution to depart from
fundamental principles of this society

believes the thought of the civilized

that Swarthmore can best serve on

All these considerations point t
the fact that Friends colleges hav
taken the only possible course. Their
is one further reason, however, whic
although important, seems unworth
to be mentioned in the presence c
the reasons which have been sc
forth, namely, the economic. At frs
thought it would be supposed tina
!, Friends colleges would lose niue
more by failing to adopt militar
training than to do so, but in view c

ment, is an additional proof that the
military training will, to say the
least, not be neglected. Young men
between the ages of is and Il. es-
pecially the 10 and 20 year old men,
may not expect to go very much fur-
Their in their education until this war
is over.
However, in the face OF these facts,
the thing for every young man to DO
is to get into college. 1t is better to
meet these things in the straight line
of duty than to try to side-step. The
War Department is DESTROYS that men
should enter college, apd it is the
patriotic duty for every young man
to do so.
Realizing that the reasons under
lying the action which Friends col
leges have taken are, some OF then
more or less elusive and difficult te
understand, and yet trusting that oul
friends will have charitable minc
toward US, and again affirming our be
lief that we have done the only pat
