vASsAR COMPLAINS OF EATS.
Girls Send Petition of Protest to
Trustees.

PoUGHKEEpsIE, Feb. l6.-Vassar Col
lege girls are all excited about the chow
they are getting. and in "a petition
signed by more than three hundred OF
them and presented to the trustees they
say that the eats are awful, although
of course they couch their protest In
more classic words than that-the
petition hurls at the trustees suSh
alliterative grenades as "concealing
cry sauce" and per s'etent parsnips"
They don't like the ''semi-he bdomadal
fish dinner" either. whatever that is.
The girls respectfully suggest TO the
trustees that the college should have
a trained detitian, which is college stuff
for mess sergeant. who can put some
thing on the menu besides fancy Ian
guage. They complain bitterly OF the
lack of variety in their food and de-
clare their ration lacks balance, being
entirely too heavy on the little end,
They beseech the trustees to name a
commission or something to meet with
them for n talk about chow but theri
leaders said to-day that they would re-
ject the idea of a Congressional inves-
tigating committee, because they want
to get the thing settled some time
during the present century,
The tuition fee at Vassar has been
advanced $3.50 a year. and In view OF
that fact the girls think they ought
to be entitled to two or three more
potatoes and an additional half dozen
beans.

formed. stopped the circulation and are
preparing for trouble when the mills

"Ravished Armenia" a moving pic

the attacks on women. and all the other
denominations OF which the Sick Man

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

From Paris President Wilson
has sent the American people
the following message:
For two anxious years the
American people have striven to
fulfill the task of saving our
civilization. BY the exertion of
unmeasured power they have
quickly won the victory without
which they would have re-
manned in the field until the
last resource had been exhaust
ed. Bringing to the contest
strength of spirit made doubly
strong by the Righteousness Of
their cause, they devoted them
selves unswervingly to the pros
ecution of their undertaking in
the full knowledge that no con
quest lay in their path except
ing the conquest of right.
Today the world stands freed
from the threat of militarism
which has so long weighed up
on the spirit and the labor of
peaceful nations.
But as yet we stand only on
the Threshold of happier times.
To enter we must fulfill to the
utmost the engagements we
have made. The Victory Liber-
ty loan is the indispensable
means. Two years ago we
pledged our lives and fortunes
to the cause for which we have
fought. Sixty thousand of our
strongest sons have redeemed |
for us that pledge of blood. To

i the government could, Il it saw
tit, increase those taxes TO such
a point that they would become
burdensome upon the American
people. Taxes are not pleasant
things, but without a bond issue
or some similar plan, heavier
taxation would bdcome neces-
sary.
You are not giving money to
the GoyNnment. You are loaning
it on the best security in the
world.
This is the last call to rally
the wealth of the government to
pay the government bills. They
must be paid or this nation will
lose the prestige among nations
which our boys won on the bat
tlefieils Of France. They are
your bills and our bills, because
we al are integral parts of the
government.
In his announcement Of the
Victory Liberty loan, Secretary
Glass says:
In fixing the terms of the
issue, the treasury has been
guided largely by the desire to
devise a security which will not
only prove attractive to the peo-
pc Of the country in the first
instance, but the terms Of which
snould insure a good market for
the notes after the campaign is
over and identical prices for the
two series, and should not af-
feet lniuriously the market for
the existing bonds of the Liber-
ty loans.
This viii be the last Liberty
loan. Although as the remain
ing war bills are presented, fur
ther borrowing must be done,
anticipate that the requirements |
of the government, in excess Of I
the amount of taxes and other
income can, in view Of the de-
credsing scale of expenditure,
be readily financed by the issue
OF treasury certificates from time
to time as heretofore, which may
be ultimately refunded by the
issue of notes or bonds without
the aid of another great popular
campaign such as has character
ized the Liberty loans.
81 am sure that the people of
America will subscribe to this
Victory loan in the same spirit
Df patriotism which they have
shown in the past, to the end
hat the notes may be as widely
distributed as possible, and that

THE LAST APPEAL.

The United States government

the people for assistance.

it will devise some other means
