EFFECT ON COLLEGES.

Many things have been thrown out of joint as the result of the signing Of the armistice and the apparent ending of the war. War contracts are being rescinded, factories are being forced to curtail their output of guns and ammunition and in all industrial lines there is a movement to bring about the great readjustment which has got to be made in turning from war to peace.
 In this connection it is not impossi- bie to overlook the situation in which tbe colleges and universities of the country are placed. They lost severe ly by the large number wh0 went into fhe government service in enc eapac- ity or another. It was a hard strug- @le to make ends meet with the small number enrolled and with the opening of the institutions in the fall the task was imposed upon them of taking care of the Students Army Training corps. This included the young men Of IS to 9 for different periods of training which wore expected to put them in a position to get commissions ir the army, the periods of training varying in accord with their ages.
 The plans had of course been made for full year. Some in ihe colleges had already been called to training camps after three months schooling but the government has now given no tice that these training courses are tC end and the work of demobiliging the corps will commence this week. Som will remain in college for such course as can be provided for then hut many will not, and the result is 50 ing to leave the colleges in a decid edly uncertain state of affairs. Regu lating their plans to suit the govern ment and now to have them upset af ter three months is bound to caus | serious confusion and loss. while tn educational work is bound to be bad | ly upset.

THE PEACE DELEGATES.

Tn naming the members of the dele gation which will represent this coun- try at the peace conference two or three surprises are to be noted The first is the announcement that Presi- dent Wilson is to head the delegation and the surprise in this connection is not that he is to occupy that position, as long as he is to go as a member of the delegation. but that he is to be a member of the delegation. since it had teen intimated that his work in con- nection with the arrangement of peace vas to be preliminary to the confer ence and that he would be in Europe only a few weeks.
 Another surprise is the inclusion of General Tasker Bliss as a member and this only because there had been nc suggestion made that there be a mili- tsry representative in the delegation IL is. however, q selection which vii give the American representatives tur benefit of his counsel as member ol the supreme war council which has been sitting at Versailles. There has also been no little surprise manifest cd at the choice of Henry White a! the one who is to be regarded as tht republican member of the delegation to the exclusion of others who ar, much more representative of the par ty
 In the choice of Messrs. White Lansing and House, however, tn, presidents action was in keeping witt what had been predicted in advance Of the announcement. and it means O course a delegation which is thor oughly in harmony with the presi dents ideas.

MUST FEED THE VANISHED.

H-Nobiy have the people of this coun- try responded to the demands which have been made upon them in meet ing the food conditions. They have met the restrictions which it was nee essary to impose and they have cur tailed their consumption by careful conservation that the best use might be made of the resources of the United States in supplying the army in the 'ieid and our allies and alleviating the suffering elsewhere.
 But Mir Hoover tells us in the mes sage which he released on Sunday that while other food supplies have been made available as the result of the var situation, the demands upon this country have not decreased but in creased, for we must not only take care Of our pledges but like civil izcd nation must rise to the need oi taking care of those people in the hitherto occupied territories and sec that they are kept from starvation. | fs no small responsibility when wc stop in think that it involves Bel gium, northern France, Serbia, Ru, aE'r. Montenegro, Poland Russia anC Armenia with something like 100000, 100 people. These countries have beer SO torn by the war that they are no able to care for themselves and the, will need all the assistance they cal get to keep them from falling into an aFchistic hands,
 Mr. Hoover declares that the Aneri can people in this most critical periot of their history. have the opportunit, to demonstrate not only their abilit, 10 assist in the establishing of peac on earth, but also their consecratior by self denial, to the cause of sufferinl humanity" There ought to be n question as to where the people of thi country stand in regard to such a mat ter and there is every reason to be Aeve that they will gladly and gener Nusly do their part through conserva uon to meet the great need.

 Whether or not any action is taken upon the suggested commission Po- land should realize the importance of taking such action in regard to the pogrom charges that it can not only protect itself against them but show disposition to prevent those whom it charges with it from continuing such frightfulness. It must realize that violence against humanity is bound to prejudice the cause of any country and that it cannot come with too clean hands to the peace confer ence, and this is of course true whether Poland or any other portion of Europe is concerned.

 The Connecticut Defense Council sought the cooperation Of the states retat interests with regard to Christ mas shopping restrictions at the in stance of the council of national de- fenss, following an agreement by the latter with retail interests.

 From the outside the place was so inconspicuous, standing about two hundred yards from the road that ninety nine out Of a hundred motor ists would have driven by without seeing it at all.

HINTS FOR PIE BAKERS.

The next time you bake pies, espe- cialiy juicy pies, try adding little cornstarch to the crust One teaspoon to a pie will prevent the under crust from being heavy.
 Try mixing the sugar and flour and adding it to the fruit before putting your pie together. The pie will be more evenly sweetened and you vii not bite into any Jumps of flour.
 Do not stretch the top crust tight In pressing the edges together, push the top crust toward the center of pie This allows plenty of room for the fruit to cook and prevents the crust from bursting open and the juice es. capinA Save an ounce of juice or ar ounce of meat or potato.
