Possibly. Such aeSituation is more

WHY ITALY ASKED FOR FIUME.

DR.. Triple, a Methodist leader sta
toned in Rome. spoke at Des Moines a
few evenings ago and gave the rea-
sons that Italy asked for Fiume. He
declared that the Italian people had
great confidence in America and held
the American people in the highest re-
spect. The people and government
were anxious for a league of nations
hoping it would preserve peace, but
when they saw the demands Of France,
Great Britain and this country, they
lost some Of their faith in the league
and wondered if they had not placed
too much reliance in it. The doctor
said. among other things:
America should remember how Italy
sma shed the Austrian line, bringing
the war to close from six to eight
months earlier than it probably would

WAR MOST HELLIsH.

Men. there is nothing glorious about
war. 1t is the most hellish-the most
damnable thing ever invented for ma
| tons to settle their differences by
mangling and destroying the bodies of
their sons"
In an address which touched upon
the experiences of the One Hundred
lSixty.eighth infantry, from the death
Of Captain McHenry to the time when,
as part of the army of occupation, q
Des Moines machine gun company
took possession of the castle Of Won
Bethman- Hollweg. Chaplain w. p.
Robb drew this as his conclusion be-
fore the Advertising club. at the Cham
Der of Commerce today.--Des Moines
Capital.
Nobody will argue against the con.
tention that war is hellish and dam
nable thing. 1t is cruel, hard and con-
Stunning. 1t lays tribute upon every
thing people possess IN d material
and physical way. But, and there is a
big but, war is preferable to submit
ting to the invasion of ones country
and the loss of ones liberty. The
Freeman-Jo believes with the late
Theodore Roosevelt that 1t is glorious
to die for ones country in righteous
cause and that the man who is unwiil-
| ing to risk his life for freedom and
liberty is not worthy to possess tlfem.
The nation that is the aggressor-the
people who start warfare the bar
barians that should be pounded into
the earth. That nation that defends
itself from 2unproyoked assaults is the
nation that deserves to be perpetuated
and the men and women of that nation
who offer their all for their country s
sake do glorious and almost divine
| act.
While we admit that war isshel, we
must admit there are things worse
Where would France be today, where
would Belgium be, where would Great
Britain be had the people of those
countries refused to meet the German
challenge? Yes, and who would have
any respect for the tinted States now
| if the people of this country had quiet
| ly submitted to the outrages commit
| ted against its honor and its citizens
| by the soldiers and sailors of Germany!
This country was forcdh into the war
and it's sons who met the steel and
shells of the enemy did NEST glorious
thing and their accomplishments will
go down i'm the pages of history to the
Everlasting honor and credit of their
country and to themselves. While we
are denouncing war. let us not forget
that war is sometimes absolutely neces-
sary and that It is the only remedy
that can he resorted to under certain
circumstances.

Senator Watson says everybody is
complaining of the; high cost Of living.
Perhaps they are, but nobody is re-
ducing the price of the things he has to
sell, from labor to capital. Just how
the high cost of living can be reduced
without reducing the selling price OF
any commodity is problem that the
seller would like to see solved.

The Dearborn independent says that
ninety per cent of the French people
who till the soil own their farms. That
is a good record. The United States
ought TO strive to equal 1t. Perhaps
this fact is entitled to lot of credit
for the way the French fought when
their country was invaded.

HUGE GIFT TO AID
COLLEGES IN SOUTH
Rockefeller Present of $780,.
100000 Will Go Largely
to Salaries of Professors.

NEW YORK, Dec. c5.--HaIf of \
800. 900 900. made to the world by
John d. Rockefeller today, will 60 to
increasing the salaries of college pro-
fessors. particularly those in the
South, where salaries have been below
even the prevailing low scale for in
structors in higher education.
The other half will go to the
Rockefeller Foundation to aid in war
fare against disease through improve
ments In medical educat tion and re-
tion.
The terms Of the gift were Explained
by DIR. George E. Vincent. president of
the Rockefeller Foundation. He
stated that $4,000, 900 of the sum
would be set aside for Canadian medi-
cal schools, and that officers of the
general educational board would start
on a trip South to inspect colleges
and universities which already have
applied for assistance. Trevor Ar
nett, trustee Of the University Of Chi
cago. has been elected an additional
secretary Of the board and will make
, the trip. A policy for the distribution
of the fund will probably be adopted
at meeting February 20.
RsekefeIIer's statemeat.
In transmitting his gift to the
board Mr.. Rockefeller said:
The attention of the American pub
lie has recently been drawn to the
urgent and Immediate necessity O,
providing more adequate salaries 70
members of the teaching profession.
1t is of the highest Importance that
those entrusted with the education
of youth and the increase of KNOW
edge should not be led to aba andot
their calling to- reason Of financial
pressure or to cling to IL amid dis
couragements due to financial limita
tions. II is of equal Importance &c
our future welfare and progress tina,
able and aspiring young men and
women should not for similar reasons
be deferred from devoting their lives
to teaching.
Grave Emergency Recognized.
While this gift is made for TIE
general corporate purposes OF the
board I should cordially indorse Y
decision 10 use the principal as well
as the income as promptly and largely
as may seem wise for the purpose OF
cooperating with the higher institu-
tions Of learning in raising sums sre
officially devoted to- the increase of
teachers salaries"
In commenting on the gift. DR..
The Washington times., 1919-12-25

Wallace Buttrick. president OF the
board, said that since the end OF the
war it had received from colleges and
universities application for aid which
would practically exhaust the work
ing capital of the board" He addei
that Mr. Rockefeller had recognized
the emergency which exists.
In transmitting his gift to the
Rockefeller foundation ito promofs
the well being OF mankind through
out the world" Mr.. Rockefeller fnr
posed no restrictions. although h'
expressed especial interest in tn
work being done throughout the
world in combating disease in the %
provement OF medical education.
Abiding to a gift OF $4,000, 900 for
this purpose which he made to the
general education board this year he
said:
MY attention has been directed tc
the needs of some OF the medical
sch ools in Canada, but as the activi'
ties of the general education board
are by it's charter limited to the
United States, l understand that the
gift may not be used for Canadian
sch ools.
The Canadian people are our near
neignDOES. lney are CLOSELY VOuHu 70
US by ties of race, language, and in
tcrnational friendship, and they have
without stint sacrificed themselves,
their youth, and their resources to the
end that democracy might be saved
and extended. For these reasons ii
your board should see ft to use any
part of this new gift in promoting
medical education in Canada, such ac-
tion would meet with my cordial ap-
prevail"
In asserting $4,000, 900 would be set
aside for Canadian schools, DR.. Vim
cent said:
From this sum appropriations will
be made by the foundation to medical
schools on condition that they raise
additional funds from other sources.
II is hoped that $4,000, 900 thus en-
ployed by the foundation at this time
will give a distinct impetus to the de-
veIopment of medical education in
Canada.
The new gift will also enable the
foundation to extend work already in
progress in medical education and
public health in many parts of the
world"
