FOUNDERS DAY

The University of North Dakota, celebrating today
its annual Founders Day, has much to be grateful for
when it looks back over the thirty-five years that soon
will have elapsed. since its portals swung open for the
first time; and the people of North Dakota have even
more to be thankful for when considering the significance
of the work of this institution.
James Russell Lowell (whose centenary is celebrated
today has once defined a university as an institution
where nothing useful is taught. He evidently did not ex-
staunch adherent of the rigorous discipline of knowledge:
what he did mean, was probably that stress should be
laid on some of the useless forms of knowledge, those
which appeal more to the imagination of youth than to
its intellectual faculties. Each has its place and it's value.
1t has been the good fortune of the University OF
North Dakota to be favored with appreciation bv all those
people in the state who realize the worth of knowledge
scientifically taught, nor yet drly nor spiritlessly instilled
into the hearts and minds Of the students. And as for
the sterling worth of those who have attended the uni
versity, it will be sufficient to look at the list of North
Dakota soldiers who fought in Europe or trained in Amer
lean camps-North Dakota soldiers who had studied al
the university and who honored their alma mater in war;
lous signal ways.
The founders day this year is of particular i'm
portance because in another six months the university
will be able to celebrate its thirty-fifth anniversary; it
was on september ., 1884, that it began its mission in the
state, and although there have been all kinds Of vexations
and difficulties in the years gone by-for instance the
vetoeing Of the biennial appropriation, in 1ss5-the mil
versity has maintained its progress patiently and consist
emily gaining new territory each year, adding more lustre
to the name Of the state as the years go by, and contrib
uting valuable details to the general world Of science
through the work Of the faculty members.
It can be by no mere accident that the sprtncina,
founders days addresses to be delivered here TO-DAY con-
Germ George Washington and James Russell Lowell. for
the university combines a high degree Of Americanism
with excellent and refined scholarship, ana its motto
lux ct lex"-light and law-cana be truthfully applied
to all the activities which have developed on the camubs
and from there extended far and wide over the state and
the northwest.

BROUGHT TOGETHER BY FATE
How Two Brothers in the British
Service, Long Parted, Met Each
Other on Hospital Dock

The part which fate played in the
reunion of two long-separated BROTH
ers Is told from an embarkation
port in the south of England. Two
hospital ships were berthed at the
same time alongside the landing
stage. One was from France and the
other from the near East.
For the most part the cases removed
from one ship saw nothing of
those disembarked from the other, but
it happened by chance that one of the
first Stretcher cases from the near
East was laid down in the shed along
side one of the last stretcher cases
from the French ship. But the two
men did not see each other, as their
heads were turned in opposite direc-
lions.
An orderly walking between the
stretchers offered newspaper to one
of the men, and as he spoke both
turned their heads and saw and recog-
nized each other. They were broth
ers. Both had been serving since the
autumn of 1914, and neither had the
remotest idea of what had become of
the other.

WHY:
Prince Eitel Is Execrated in
France

y Here is how Newell Dwight Hills,
In his book entitled German Atroci-
ties" tells of the crime for which
Prince Eitel, son of the kaiser, now
\ stands under Indictment in France, the
sacking and ruin of a beautiful cha
steau:
Zone of the historic chateaux is that
sof Avricourt, rich in noble associa-
lions of history. 1t was one of the
class of buildings covered by a clause
4 in the international agreements be-
tween Germany, France and the Unit
ed States and all the civilized nations,
safeguarding historic buildings. For
many months it was the home of
Prince Eitel, second son of the kaiser.
When judge and jury held inquiry
at the ruins of the chateau the aged
French servant, who understood the
electric lighting and had charge of the
gas plant during Eitel's occupancy,
stated that he heard the German off
GERS telling Eitel Frederick that he
NVuAu lIC lHC NVIllIu1 IL lie
destroyed building that had no re-
lation to war, that could be of no aid
or comfort to the French army, and
that he would make his name and that
of his family name of shame and con-
tempt, of obloquy and scorn. But the
man would not yield. He brought in
his auto trucks and carried to the
freight cars every historic object in the
splendid chateau. Having pledged
himself to leave the building unin-
Jured, the prince stopped his car at the
gates of the exit, ran back to the his
toric house, lighted his firebrand,
spread the flames upon the halls, wait
ed until the flames were well in prog
ress and then ordered his men to light
the fuse of dynamite bombs. A few days
later inquiry was held and testimony of
aged servants and little children was
taken. The degeneracy of the German
prince as then revealed has not been
equaled since the first chapter of Ro-
mans catalogued the unnatural crimes
OF the men of the ancient world"

victory CAMPAIGN
STARTS WITH BOOM:
new LOAN POPULAR
Interest At 424%o Per Cent And Four
Year Term Pleases The
Public

Atlanta, Ga.-The Victory Loan
/ campaign has got off to flying start,
to judge from the kilograms pouring in
5upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive That
! the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results, though
1 it will require the cooperation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms Of
the Victory Loan did a great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from business standpoint as
well as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay A 3/49o, the highest interest
J Of any Of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date This high interest
and the short term makes them GER
tain to remain at a high figure, finan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc-
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. It will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more deliberately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the Ely
ing circus" of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May /.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected.
Our people have not lost their pa
triotism,' they report. "There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use In
subscribing to more bonds. But we
were wrong. The American-citym man,
town man, farmer,-is willing to pay
his share Of the war bill, and he is
proving it,"
That is the patriotic side of the mat
ter. On the business side, the short
term bonds or notes appear to strike
the public eye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for lnnA
er period, and the fact that the nbve
eminent promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if period
Of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,-
100000. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribing its share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt
ed by many counties helped to carry
them over the top on volunteer
Days." the first two days Of the cam
paign. In the Third Loan campaign
every county in the district went over
and an effort is being made to repeat
this performance this time.

MR.. AUSTIN'S CAREER
ONE OF ACHIEVEMENT
Rise From an Humble Home In Ala
bama to High Station in
Public Life.

Ex- Congressman Richard Wilson
Austin, was born in Decatur, Ala,
4 August 26, 1857 thus making, hin
A 62 years of age at the time of his
death. He was the son Of John H. anG
Mary E. Austin and came of pioneer
stock in America, mixed with Scotch
blood. In early years he was sent
by his parents to the Loudon high
school. where he received his funda-
mental education under the late Je-
rome Templeton, then a young school
teacher and later a lawyer in Knox
vile. Later he attended the Univer-
sitv Of Tennessee, where he did cred
liable work as an earnest student and
impressed his professors with his de-
termination to achieve success in af-
ter life.
Leaving the university, Mr.. Aus
tin located in Knoxville and at once
manifested an interest in politics. He
was given an appointment to the
Iclerkship in the Knoxville postoffice.
and this was his first political posi-
ton. He was supporter and friend
of Judge l., G. Houk who when he be-
'came congressman, counted youno
Austin as one of his best friends and
advocates and took him into the par
ty councils in the district.
In the early eighties, due to his
political experience and his education
al achievements as well as his bust
ness capabilities, Mr.. Austin was cho-
sen by republicans interested in the
Knoxville Chronicle, a republican
newspaper, to direct it's affairs. He
was business manager of the Chron-
|icle, and later was one of it's editors.
An overcrowded field, and the fact
that it was a partisan political or
gan, forced the Chronicle into a re I
|ceivership in 1885, after which time
Mr.. Austin turned his attention to
the law and to practical politics.
Having been aggressive in his sup
port of Judge Houk's congressional
aspirations Mr.. Austin was invited
to accept the private secretaryship|
to Congressman Houk, which he did
This position he filled with remark
able efficiency, and he was one of the|
best and most trusted Of Congress-
man Houk's associates and advisers.
His ability as an astute politician was
recognized not only by the second dis
trict congressman but by national pol
litical leaders, and he won their con-
finderlce and esteem which he re-
tanned throughout future years.
Congressional Doorkeeper.
In the fifty-seventh congress which
convened in December, 1883, Mr.. Aus-|
tin was appointed assistant doorkeep-|
er of the house. This official POSI-
ton widened his opportunities for del
velopment of political acquaintances|
and experiences. He increased his|
number of friends as he augmented
his acquaintance and the uniform|
courtesy and affability which was al
chief asset to him throughout lifel
served to splendid advantage and. de-
veloped in his work as doorkeeper of
the house.
