ian Institution.

The biggest collection of war souve-
Mrs which has reached this country ar
rived yesterday on the transport Santa
Rosa, which locked at Hoboken yester-

almost 1000 tons and is to be sent to
the Smithsonian institution in Washing
ton.
Besides specimens OF French, British
and German tanks and two captured
German motorcycles, mounting machine
guns and capable Of speed Of 100
miles an hour. the Santa Rosa's cargo
included a field kitchen used at one
time by tho Kaiser and the German
Crown Prince and his STAFF, a wireless
plant which must have brought the one
time heir to the German throne a good
deal OF bad news and a large collection
of German and Austrian war medals
and decorations, some of which were
also the property OF young Mr.. William

ELECTRIC MARVELS
TO BE SEEN TO-DAY
Exhibition Will Open This At
ternoOn at Grand Cen
trail Palace.

There Is a twofold interest in the OPEN
ing this afternoon in Grand Central Pal
ace of the annual Electrical Exposition,
as the event marks the return Of New
York's big Industrial exhibition building
to its original purpose, after serving as
a gigantic army hospital during the war.
Then. again, a great American Industry,
which stands second to none In its contri-
button to the winning OF the war. exhib-
It's all that is worth while in the art and
science Of electricity. including new de-
velopments and inventions, many of them
adaptations to peace time uses of ma
chimes and devices originated for mill
tary purposes.
The Electrical Exposition serves to
visualize the many and varied uses OF
electricity in every sphere of human ac-
tivity, in the home, the Office the store
the factory. on the farm in hospitals and
in all classes Of public places. 1t serves
further to give an idea of the size and
scope Of the electrical industry Of this
country.
There is now generated annually In
the United States more than II, 900, 000.-
600 kilowatt hours of electricity. The
industry includes the manufacture of the
generating machinery producing this
great wattage, the wires, cables and
SNiISA uAS1l IbuNliB dBtllClSst anu lne ma
chinery, devices and apparatus used to
convert 1t into light, heat or power for
the varied service OF mankind. The
production Of electric lamps in the
United States now approximates $780,
100000 annually, or more than one for
every inhnbitant OF this country.
The Electric Exposition itself requires
100000 kilowatt hours Of current in or
der that as far as practical all ma
chinery, devices and apparatus exhibited
may be shown in action and. their accom-
plishments actually demonstrated. One
feature of special interest under existing
conditions In the average household Is
the model apartment, full sized and thor
oughly modern In that II Is equipped
with electrical machines and devices
which perform or tighten every house.
hold labor, with the possible exception Of
making beds. Because these mechanical
servants are largely controlled by means
of ordinary electric push buttons, this
exhibit has been given the name, push
button apartment"
1t is but one OF n score OF special
features at the Electrical Show, which
literally discloses a thousand and one
uses OF electricity, some of them highly
suggestive Of the tabled accomplishments
OF Aladdins lamp. The exposition will be
open until October 4, morning. afternoon

COLLEGE BRED MEN
BIG FORCE IN WAR
Dr.. Hibben Tells Undergrad
yates of Courtrys Needs.

PRINCETON, N. J.. Sept 2s.-Dr. John
Grier Hibben, president OF Princeton
University, in an address to the under
graduates at the opening Of the fall term
to-day said that in many ways the war
had displayed surprisingly the value Of
college bred men, educators and scien-
lists
I'VE learned that our university men
with their trained minds and bodies.
their high character and spirit, furnished
the nation its first line of defence in the
great emergency" he said Their keen
perception of facts, their obedience and
service. made them natural leaders In
all activities, and their enthusiasm was
Immediately turned TO patriotism and
devotion. They were efficient officers
and daring aviators. They were dill
gent in research and ingenious In inven-
ton in all the preparations behind the
lines
THE war also revealed that our great
stan of educators are not tho theorists
that some would picture them. but are
practical men OF hard sense. useful In
every capacity. The developing indus
tries of our country are turning TO them
to I'LL important positions in their ex-
panding organizations"
DR.. Hibben notified the freshmen that
Princeton will offer courses In political
and economic conditions of all the ma
lions that were at war. He said the
situation Is such now that I'VE dare not
limit our range Of studies by a narrowly
clrcumscribed geography" The course
will include study Of the new nations
formed as a result of the war.
There is need to-day as never before
OF men with richly stored minds, who
can think clearly and who cannot be
deceived by sophistries and shame" said
DR.. Hfbben. Our country is calling for
men of this stamp. We need men whose
convictions are grounded In those i'm
mutable principles which are the security
Of our national life. We must have men
who come to their tasks In the world
with an enlightened mind and an awak-
| ened conscience"
Early reports OF the registration
showed $50 freshmen enrolled, record
class, and total enrolment at the uni
yersity of 1900.

WOMEN PHYSICIANS
URGE CHILD CULTURE
Parents Should Be More Care
full, Speakers Declare.

The gradual disappearance of chill
dren in American families and the con-
sequent importance of taking proper
care of the specimens now extant was
the topic at yesterdays morning session
Of the international conference of women
physicians at the "Y" building. 600
Lexington avenue. DR.. Henry L. X
Shaw of Albany gave the principal ad-
dress.
Parents should have children IN
spected and examined frequently" he
said. Merchants take stock, banks
balance their books regularly; why
isn't child entitled to a regular In
vsntory and balance OF its physical
capital? II this practice had been pur-
sued twenty years ago we would have
been spared the unfortunate experience
Of finding S3 per cent. of the men ex-
amined in the draft for the war unfit
for service, 10 per cent. OF them unfit
because of defects that could have been
cured in their childhood.
Prenatal precautions are Just as
imperative. Yet how they are neg
lected No one buys an automobile
without finding out all about It before
hand. but how many mothers read man
uals on the care Of baby before baby
arrives?'
DR.. Shaw and w. A. Mccall, Phi. D.,
OF Teachers College had an argument
on fresh air and its connection with
mental efficiency. Mr.. Mccall asserted
that public school children are slightly
less efficient and make slightly less i'm
provement when under strictly fresh
air than under air that is only semi
fresh" DR.. Shaw considered fresh air
of the highest Importance. Into the dis
cussion DIR, Celia Lollino, one of the
delegates from Italy projected herself
with a food Of her native language.
Americans have no air in their
rooms" she complained. Everywhere I
go in this country I find so little air.
I have just completed a letter home,
telling my friends how strange It Is
thai in this great country the people are
willing TO breathe stagnant air in their
homes and meeting nlaces"

Ever since the beginning Of the worid

| from so to rs per cent Of the clerical
positions The record Of the last eight

When The Civil Service Commission
was established. in 1888, the act creating it
provided that women may, m the dis
cretion Of the head Of any department, be
appointed TO clerkshirs therein authorized
by law, upon the Same requisites and con
ditions and with the sanle compensation
IS prescribed for men" This clause open-
81 doors each year to more and more gov-

positions that precedent and special tram
ing OF experience have always assi icncd to

The duty Of the United States Civil
Service Commission is 10 certify 10 ap-
pointments and moi to mako them For
this reason it has hitherto complied with
the special requests from various depart
nents whenever vacancies occurred by
advertising an examination for men, if il
vas signiicd that male employees verc dc-
sired. In the same way many examinations
have been limited to women. It is Gus
tomary for beads Of departments, Or di-
visions Of departments TO cal
fer male registers OF femae
registers, according to preference. This
removes from the commission all re-
sponsibility and prevents possible dis
elimination. In conforming to the old
usage it was believed that whenever a de-
partment requested male employees il was
unfair to encourage women to compete in
an examination that offered no hope Of
actual employment
Notwithstanding this long followed plan
the commission decided 10 waive previous
rules OF procedure and to open ali ez-
aminations to both men and women Thus

PRESS COMMENT.
AN INCAPABLE SENATE.

Fully admitting the validity Of the
criticism that Senators have directed
against the statement issued from the
" hite House IN respect TO the Presidents
attitude toward a compromise, what docs
the Senate itself intend to do about the
ratification of the Treaty Of Peaccf
That is the ucstion that counts.
The White House statement WINS
rejoindcr to Senator Lodges speech
of Saturday when he sneered at the
proposal for committee on Cancellation
and said that ''if the President desires
to present any notifications or con-
cessions from his position to the Senate
it is open TO him to do 1T. !" The White
House promptly and acidly replied that
the President "has no compromise or
concession Of any knd in mind, but
intends, so far as he is concerned, that
the Republican leaders of the Senate
shall continue to bear the undivided
responsibility for the fate of the Treaty"
But entirely apart from the wisdom
of the White House statement, the
Senate is confronted with responsibilities
of it's own, which cannot bc shirked on the
ground that the President has used un-
sympathetic language IN reply to Henry
Cabot Lodge
The Constitution provides that the
President shall have power, by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to make treaties, provided two
thi dis of the Senator'S present concur
The President sent the Treaty of Peace
to the Senate more than five months ago,
and two-thirds Of the Senators have not
gwen their afvicc and consent to eny-
thing.
The Senate has refused to ratify the
Treaty AS the President, submitted 1T,
and rs all the other belllgcrents have
ratified it, II has refused to ratify

Why They Indorsed Wilson.

The action of the Democrats Of South
Dakota IN lndorsing President VI son f1r
denomination was a sIrprisc to the coun-
try, although il was announced At the
time that this act would nor mean his
formal presentation To the Natiorol Dem
ocratIc Convention by the delegates from
that State. It was regarded as a st-ng to
bind them together until the assembling
of the convention when they could sur
vey the fed and take such action as
vvou d seem TO them most desirable
But there was something more behind
this acton. according to letter sent hy
". r. Green Of Sioux Falls to the Phila-
delphia Record Il vas for the purpose Of
giving unresTved approval To the man
who has done SO much for the country
and for the world and as . rebuke for
those partisans who have done their best
to dlscredit him and belittIc bis accom-
pIshments
Democrats Of other States VIII take
snnilar action, although in different forms,
and there is no doubt the Democratic
National Convention Of next year, in
selecting a candidate to succeed him, viii
give a large measure Of praise to President
Wilson
