liean he was never unfriendly in his attitude toward the south as many of his party associates were. He was too broad and high-minded a man and too good an American to indulge in petty politics or for a display of mar row prejudices.
 Mir. White had been connected with several institutions of learning, in- cluding Tulane. In 1867 he was elected Cornell's first president, serving in that capacity until 1885. He con- tributed $300,0O0 and his library of 10000 volumes to Cornell, and his heart was in the work of that famous university to the last. "
 As an author MT. White was as in dustrious as he was luminous. His bent was along the line of history, but he wrote on political science, statecraft and religion. His publi- cations number more than twenty volumes. His last contribution to the literature of history was in 1911, and was entitled "The Work of Benjamin Hale."
 A man of lofty ideals and towering Andrew D Whites fame is secure, and in the world of education his memory will long be cherished.

F E' Publishing Business Hard Hit By the War

U7HHERE has been little or no criti- U cism of newspapers for raising their subscription prices, yet if pub- fishers had to justify themselves they could easily do so by pointing to "cas- aalties" among newspapers throughout the country.
 The latest figures at hand show that no other business has suffered as much approximately as the news papers since 1914. High price of pa ner. the rising cost of materials and the labor scarcity with correspond ing increase in wages, caused the sus- pension of $50 newspapers and the consolidation of 250 daily papers with others, making total of HOO publi- cations forced out of business. Be- cause of the difficulty of obtaining ac- curate data, it is probable that these figures are too low.
 Numerous small publications, par ticularly weeklies on shaky footing to begin with, soon went under when the cost of materials scared skyward. For most of those which have con- tinued in existence, it has been hard, bitter struggle. The country editor, once esteemed man whose lot was cast for the most part in pleasant places, long ago conceded that Sher- mans definition of war was correct.

War Work Drive
 To Be Intensive

6NHERE must be no lack of enthu- ll siasm in the united war work campaign which begins November II. Preparations have been made for a great drive and it is believed that the goal will be reached within the week set aside for the canvass.
 The seven organizations for which the money is to be raised-the Young Mems Christian association, the Young Women's Christian association, the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare board, the War Camp Com munity service, the American Library association and the Salvation Army are doing valuable work, and with the new fund will do even greater work.
 Secretary of War Baker, in his ad- dress at mass meeting in New York Sunday made up of Protestants, Cath olics and Jews, stressed the import ance of the drive. T do not know" he said, "when the war against the Ger man empire will come to an end, but I know this: that the war for the sal vation of young American manhood has just begun and it is going to keep up."
 Furthermore, if the war should come to an early end, it will, as Mir. Baker pointed out, take long time to get the boys home. They will have to be put in demobilization camps in the United States and gradually fill tered back into the industry and life of America"

Great Educator and
 Author Passes Away

"A NDREW D. WHITE, who died GA at his home in Ithaca, N. r., yesterday at the age of eighty six, was, like President Woodrow Wilson and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, a brilliant example of the scholar in politics.
 He was first of all an educator, but he had distinguished himself in the diplomatic service. He was an at tache of the United States legation at St. Petersburg during the Crimean war. In 1S79-81 he was minister to Germany; to Russia 1S92-4, and am- bassador to Germany 1897-1902. He had represented the United States in Berlin greater number of years than any other American diplomat. He was a member of the Venezuela commits Slon Tn lo9o-i ana member of the peace commission at The Hague in 1899.
 While Mir. White was not commonly classed as politician, he was a mem Der of the state senate of New York in the sixties and later presided over the republican state convention. He was delegate to the. republican na- tional conventions in 1872 and 1884 and filled other political positions of honor.

 | The American boys were mingled with the British. Canadians and Australians and there was a fellow feeling and 1 sporting instinct which amazed me no shouting nor horse play-but ap- preciation of the best points gained by the boxers. Some of it was hard fight ing-six-round bouts-but no sugges- tion of boisterous conduct. It was real sport.
 And today our party was given real insight into tanks. On the testing field at Cricklewood we were taken in the tanks over muddy fields and trenches and shown what tank warfare is.

 Formerly a tank was good for only one or two hundred miles. Now they test out to a thousand miles of hard usage. They are made of the best and toughest, steel. Some of them are made to pick up big guns and carry them from place to place. And others carry steel bridge spans to be thrown over canals in order that troops may pass over.
