GEORGETOWN COLLEGE LOSES
TWO PROFESSORS TO WAR.

After the Commencement exer-
cises in June, Georgetown College
will lose two of its ablest professors,
who will both go into Y. M. G. A.
war work. Prof. d. E. Fogle, head
of the modern languages department,

week as an educational secretary at
Camp Zachary Taylor, and Prof.
Robt. T. Hinton, formerly of Paris,
hopes to begin overseas work June
1, as a recreation secretary in the
Y. M. c. A. army work. The
Georgetown News says of Prof. Hin
ton, whose brother, Mr.. c. o. Hin
ton, is now Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
at Camp Zachary Taylor:
Prof. Hinton's loss to the Col
lege will be a serious one, as in ad-
dition to being head of the biology
department here, he is the director
of athletics, and one of the most Sue
cessful coaches in the State The Y.
NJ. c. A. has made numerous offers
to both men, but neither thought
best to leave the College until the
present term is over
Coach Hinton's place as coach will
be taken, in foot ball, by Clayton
Thomasson, who has been assistant
coach for a number of seasons"

CAN YOU WONDER NOW AT
COST?

Many people wonder why the
printer should make what they con-
slider an exorbitant charge for get
ting out printed matter. Yet it is
not extortion, but a mere matter of
Self-preServation that compeIs the
printer to advance his charges to a
point where he can make a reasona-
BILE profit.
The following card received from
one of the largest paper manufac-
turing concerns in the world, partly
explains the matter:
Cincinnati, O., May /, 1918.
Owing to the very unusual condi-
lions at the present time, all paper
manufacturers have withdrawn
prices on account of the increased
cost of production. Consequently we
are forced to withdraw all prices.
I'VE will require several days to
revise prices, based on to-day's cost,
and until this is accomplished, we
of necessity are obliged to ask you to
request Quotations on your require
mentS.
Assuring you of our appreciation
of past favors and hoping for your
continued confidence and co-opera-
ton, we remain" etc.

RED CROSS SECOND WAR FUND
a CAMPAIGN, {

Shortly after Americans entrance
into the world conflict the American
Red Cross, through it's War Council
appointed by the President, asked of
the American people one hundred
million dollars as their first contri-
button to the War Fund. That War
Fund had been decided upon as nee
essary to carry through the broad
plans of European and American
War Relief on the scale that their
need justified.
The money contributed at that
time will have been all expended by
early this summer and the account
ing of this expenditure, audited by
the Government,~has been given the
widest publicity.
In order that this tremendous
work of humanity may be carried on
the President has designated the
week of May 20, 1918, as Red Cross
week, during which the public will
be appealed to for another hundred
million dollar contribution.
Every means will be taken during
that week to inspire and stimulate
the public to give and give gener-
ously to this great need. 1t is as
much a matter of patriotism as the
support of our navy and army. The
local Chapters in every community
will seek to canvass each individual.
There will be the usual display and
distribution of posters and informa
tive literature. An advertising cam
paign for newspapers has been pre-
pared and will be placed in the hands
of all Chapters for underwriting in
the local papers by the business in
tereStS of each locality.

Save and Lend.

The very best friend that you own
Is coming to-day or tomorrow,
To ask for bit of a loan
Of all you can gather and borrow.
You know what he's wanting it for;
You aren't too fond of the Kaiser;
You know he'll repay it and more
So lend it, and don't be miser.
Your friend is your Uncle Sam,
Who saves you from being a
martyr;
You know he's as mild as a lamb,
But when he must fight, he's a
Tartar.
There's billions that have to be
spent
To make him a two-fisted hitter;
You know he'll return every cent
Then aid him, and don't be a
quitteri
Oh, buy every stamp that you can,
Don't question and haggle and
patter!
Your Uncle Sans a generous man,
And safe as the Rock of Gilbralter!
He's asking no more than his due;
He needs every soul for his hacker;
He's working and fighting for you
Then help him and don't be a
slackeri

Other Mems Views

The Manitoba Free Press:
The United States plans to celebrate the
Fourth Of July In very useful and highiy
suitable fashion by launching ships on scale
that wifi spread Joy to every Allied capital and
deepen the gloom which has settled down anew
upon Berlin after the transitory triumphs of the
Western front.
When the idea Of Identifying the national
holiday with the completion Of ships was launch
ed some three weeks ago 1t was estimated that
by speeding up work, it might be possible to
launch As ships. But by the enthusiastic CO.
operation of everybody the job, along the
whole scale Of labor from the humblest boy to
the executive heads the number has risen until
the announcement Is now made that on July
4th SO ships aggregating 439,8S6 tons lightweight,
will pass over the shipways and be added to the
available Allied shipping. Nor does this include
ships that are being purpoBely held back from
launching; it Is understood that the June out
put is not to be restricted in order to make
a showing on the Fourth Of July.
The estimated total does not include destroyers
and other warships although there are to be
launchings Of vessels Of this character in honor
Of the occasion. The 439,S86 tons to be added
to the totals Of shipping all additions to
the mercantile marine. The ships alone will
twice replace the sinkings of the submarines for
that the United States shipyards getting
into their stride. It also reveals what marvels
can be done when there Is complete unity Of pur-
pose among all those engaged in a great task
This is the spirit that will beat the Hun; with
out it the will go on Unfortunately and end
finally in the morass Of an inconclusive peace.

MOORHEAD'S EXAMPLE.

When the investigation of the recent in
crease in gas and electric light charges is
begun, the investigators need not go any
further than Moorhead for their informa-
ton on the electric light end Of it at least.
Moorhead with a municipal electric
light plant, has been selling electric hight
at lower scale than has prevailed IN
Fargo and has been making money at 1t
during period of 20 years or more.
If private plant in Fargo, with much
greater market for its products, and with
facilities for using by-products such as its
dead steam, which the Moorhead plant
lacks, cannot compete with a publicly
owned plant across the Red river, it is time
the citizens of Fargo knew it and knew
why.
Let us not waste energy in abusing the
company, but let us proceed at once to get
our facts and act rather than talk, if the
figures Justify action.

Don't Pet a Rat
by Henry oyen Of The ViqiIantee


1t took a to show US what a fine lot
of rats we have been petting in this country.
For some unfathomable reason we have created
for our own self -deusion national myth which
we have called The Melting Pot" 1t was a
beautiful thing: We talked about it. we believed
in it. We said-and actually believed we
were talking like reasoning beings: Drop a
rat in The Melting Pot and it comes out an
American
So we dropped them in-the rats along with
the stock that makes good Americans. And the
rats came out rats. They are showing their
rats nibble at his heels Therefore, we have
one course to adopt toward them:
DON'T PET A RAT: TRAP IT
The rats are Of various types. Let us label
The pro-German Rat: The one from Ger
many itself He is the most obvious of all.
Americans Of German antecedents are good Am
orleans. The rat is still a German Before
the he marched boldly around the country,
shifting at our national institutions, sneering
consistently, and preaching the superiority OF
German efficiency. He is still with us, but since
we entered the war he has, being a rat, run for
cover. He tries to align himself with the loyal
Americans Of German descent. But he is still
a rat, still a pro German In the event Of a
German vitor he would he ont IN droI1as {eerinr
our defeat He buys Liberty bonds, but the only
reason he does it is to make us think he is
not rat. 1t Is the particular duty and privi-
lege Of all loyal Americans Of German breeding
to help put him out Of business.
The I. w. W. Rat Darker and thinner than
his pro-German brother but of the same spe-
cies. More active. Having been allowed to run
wild he has exaggerated ideas Of his own i'm
portance His idea of Liberty is License. He
squirms piteously when trapped, and he is being
trapped in considerable numbers
The Foreign Agitator Rat: A fuzzy sort of
rat Trotzky is his ideal; American ideals his
favorite target. He comes to America only to
sheer and to try to wreck. His strongest char
acteristic is a contempt for the true Amer
lean. For the present his soap box is in storage
until after the war.
The Intellectual Rat: In this species the sexes
are about equally divided. OF many nationali-
ties, sometimes even American. At college they
learned SO much that they've never been good
for anything since. They smile pityingly when
anyone displays emotion so common as patri-
ottsm, talk much Of Internationalism and are
really dangerous because clever enough to fool a
lot Of people.
The Pacifst Rat: A rare species Willing
to take everything and give nothing. product
Of congenital and racial causes. Must be watch
ed closely when it comes time to talk peace
At the bottom of the list because he is the
most ptiable; but not to be petted any more
than the others
There are other rats than these, but for an
example this will suffice. We must stop petting
them We must remember our boys in France
-mete out to them wartime treatment
DON'T PET A RAT: TRAP IT!

Those Drafties Are Wonders
William t. Ellis in The Saturday Evening Post

William T. Ellis in The Saturday Evening Post.
Those drafties wonders" said a Massa-
chusetts soldier in the Lorraine sector. you've
gotta hand it to them. Not one OF them was
scared.
Then amid laughter and counter tale and
comment a group of these child veterans, enjoy
ing a breathing space after five days in intense
action, told me about the draft recruits who had
been sent to the regiment replacement men.
They'd do anything-carry ammunition or
the wounded fight any old way. One guy
didn't know that you had to take the top off the
grenades to make them explode; and he thought
they go off when they hit. So he threw them
like baseballs and saw him catch a Fritz in the
middle of the stomach with one.
Yes, and there was drafty in our company
who went over the top twice the other day and
got three boches with his bayonet"
Some Of them'-this to the music Of reminis-
cent Iaughter-"didn't even know what company
they belonged to. But they certainly were all
right"l
The bandmaster, who became a stretcher
bearer in action, worked to the point of exhaus-
ton and his staggering caught his superiors
eye; but when the bandmaster found that the
surgeon was going to send him to the rear for
a rest he hid in a dugout until the doctor was
gone.
Another boy. in the medical corps, was to be
sent home as mentally deficient, and the papers
were all made out. When his unit was about to
60 forward he appeared before the captain and,
saIutEng with oomical dignity, said, Private
NJ reports FOR duty, sir. Then he pleaded
TO be allowed to SO, and worked under fire like q
young denfgod.
