Prince of Wales
Given Freedom
OF London

LONDON, May 31.-United
Press. with all the ancient cere-
monials, the price of Wales was yes
terday admitted to the Freedom of
the City of London" Members of
the royal house can claim the free
dom as a right, but it is never done,
and the bestowal of this, the City's
highest civic honor, is far less COM
mon in the case of royalty than of
distinguished "commoners."
The ceremony was made the occa-
sion for an imposing military and civ
ic show, the Prince driving, escourt-
ed by cavalry, to the Guildhall, where
he was received in state by Lord Sir
Horace Marshall. A guard of honor
of the Honorable Artillery Company
(the City's pet "Guards") rendered
royal salutes, and the City trumpet
ers, in scarlet and gold, sounded a
fanfare.
The price arrived punctually at
1890 P. NJ, and was conducted by
the lord mayor, the city chamber
lain, the city marshal, and other dig.
nataries to the council chamber
where the members of the council
and the court of aldermen were as.
sembled. The parchment certificate
of freedom was in a handsome gilt
frame.

Girls Fight
In Polish Army

WARSAW, March 80 (By Mail)-
The defense of Lemberg is one of the
most striking events of the war. Civ
ilized Europe can have no idea of the
horrors that unfortunate town has
enruded. They remind one of the
times when Boland was the barrier
TO Europe and held back hordes of
Tartars.
The Ukranians obser~)i no con-
ventions; they have no pity for wo-
men and children, even if the former
are Red Cross nurses. Recently six
Polish nurses were found dead; they
were murdered by Ukranian soldiers
and empaled Whenever the Polish
soldier advance, they find the corpes
of murdered and tortured comrades.
Polish society has been moved by
the terrible death of the son of we'll
known professor of the Krakow Uni
versity, Lieut., Stanilos Los. He was
taken prisoner and some time after
his soldiers found his body; but in
what condition! 1T was full of cruel
wounds, proving long torture. Close
examination shows that he was proba-
bly, buried alive.
No Bread, Milk, Water, Light.
No wonder the population Ct Lem
berg is fighting desperately. Even
women are heroiclly helping the ar
my. Every one is struck by the
sight of these young girls, with ri
fes slung on their back. They do
their duties wonderfully. The sol
der birls are thought highly of in
the town, and even in the trenches
where they do the work of regular
soldiers. know of three girls who
were in the trenches for thirty-siX
hours at stretch. They carried out
their duties to yhe end, but were com.
pletely exhausted when relieved.
The town of Lemberg is in a de-
plorable condition. 1t has no wa
ter nor light. The sources are in the
hands of the Ukranians. The popu.
lation is famished. There is no breed
and no milk. 1t is with difficulty thai
one can get potatoes.
AS the fighting is very close, shells
fell often in the town, but the popu
lation has become accustomed to it,
and no one minds them very much
The only thing that the people fea
is that Lemberg may be taken, The!
know that the Ukranians show no
pity, and the massacre would be hor-
rible.

u. President
Highly Endorsed

BRISTOL, Tenn, June 2.-"The
very best possible CHOICE" said for
mer Superintendent of Public In
struction for Tennessee, s. H.
Thompson, today upon his return
from long business trip, wien ask
ed his opinion about the new presi-
dent of the University of Tennessee.
Mr.. Thompson said further, while |
do not like to say i told you So |
do wish to remind you that while in
Nashville soon after the death of
DR.. Brown Ayres, Banner report
er asked me for statement then
and ! said | thought the people of
the state with one accord would like
to have DR.. H. A. Morgan. Now My
very. particular reasons for PREFER
ing Dr. Morgan, is that think he will
make it more of peoples Universe
ty than it has ever been. In my
humble opinion the most practical
and useful university in the United
States, wholly public institution, is
the University of Wisconsin. This
has been made so because for almost
half century that great university
has builded itself along the lines of
what the farmer, the banker, the
professional man, the day laborer and
every other man needed In so
doing it has in nowise neglected what
many educators like to call the clas-
steal lines. You may not be aware
that in recent years more than 1000
pure bred cattle have been shipped
South for breeding purposes and that
most of them have come from the
state of Wisconsin through its uni
versity. Every other activity OF life
has been touched in the same way by
this institution. If you want to edu-
cate people, it has to be done by in
terpreting whatever educational
ideas leaders may have in terms of
human life. Dean Morgan can do
this in the very finest way. Then
another thing He is popular with all
classes, and to do big job you want
the rarest thing in the world-a COM
bination of efficiency and populari-
ty. H. A. Morgan has this combina-
ton in the highest degree. Just
watch the University of Tennessee
grow and spread herself as she never
has before.
From what the newspapers say, all
interested are agreed with what Mr..
Thompson has said and certainly nc
man in being selected could have
been more pleasing to this section.
