The men who have been sent to the
Sorbonne are college graduates, save
IN few cases where work equal to
college degree has been done in the
subject chosen. The work is essentially
postgraduate work. For many of the
men-perhaps for all of them-the op-

S. O. S. units. These, besides offering
academic courses Of high school grade,
utilize the mechanical equipment of
the army in large number Of trades

For men who are qualified to do
freshman and sophomore college work,
an A. E. F. University has been
established ut the little village of
Beaune. In seventeen days this univer-
sity, which can accommodate 10000
men, was created. During the war one
of the largest of the American base
hospitals was at Beaune. The hos
pitfalls have been converted into labora-
tories, lecture halls, class rooms, IL
braries and dormitories. The faculty
comprises such men as William f.

Their crimes against each other are

Between the late lamented Sam
at one extreme and the frightened
lad Kenneth at the other lie the
great bulk of cases over which the
state troopers have jurisdiction.
Last year they arrested and
convicted men of sixty-five va
rieties Of lawbreaking. Besides vio-
lations of the penal code, the riders
act as the agents Of the Department
OF Education, the Prison Depart
ment, the Department of Health,

Revenue Department, the Military
Intelligence Department and the
Automobile Bureau.
1t is young mems work, this rid

life of which the small boy dreams.
and there must be much of that
same small boy still in the men of
the service, for there has never
been man who has left or been
discharged from the troopers who
did not make desperate efforts to
get back again.
The city rarely hears of them and
still more rarely sees them, for their
work is solely for the country folk.
And in the eighteen months of their
existence the country folk have
grown to look for them, these
friendly riders, much as men of
medieval times watched for the
coming of the knight Grant. On
these broad shoulders they are
learning to lay their temporal
troubles. as people of an earlier time
we're wont to turn for spiritual guild
ance and comfort to another less
militant order of gray brethren.

One Man They
Had to Kill

There is big scrapbook on the
table in the Longing room at G
Troops barracks. On one page is
pasted such a broadside as sheriffs
and police chiefs issue for missing
criminals. This one offers a reward,
dead or alive, for Alvin (Sam)
Pasco, who killed Orlie Eldridge at
Thurman, N. Y, on April 10, 1918.
Above is the lean, hard-jawed, thin
Tipped face of Pasco, taken just be-
fore he served his term in Dame
mora. Above that, at the top of the
page, is written "Gone, but not for
gotten" That is G Troops tribute
to the one man they have had to kill
to get.
"Sam" Pasco never drank a drop,
nor did he touch tobacco, but he was
bad-bad from the soles of his feet
to his coarse-haired scalp 6 feet
5 inches above them. He was a bad
man of a bad family and the last
of the male line. "Dick," his uncle,
whose Christian name was Charles,
died while robbing a hen roost. He
passed away ingloriously. He knew
that the owner of the hens had set
a spring gun in the coop which would
go off when the door swung open.
Dick, after much bordering, decided
that if he crept on hand and knees
to the door and opened it, the load
Of buckshot would pass harmlessly
over his back. He guessed wrong,
for the man who set the gun had
aimed it where he imagined the
prospective thief's shins would be-
When it went off that's where Dicks
head was.
Leander, father of Sam, died few

years later, following a quarrel with
his son and his son-in-law, Calvin
Wood. Sam and Calvin withdrew
from the argument and debated on
how best to settle it. They cut cards
to see who would shoot the old man.
Calvin won, and did-shot him from
the bushes as he was coming into
town. Later Calvin was electrocuted
and Sam alone remained.
In double distilled evildoing Sam
upheld the reputation of the Pasco
family. He lived an easy, pleasant
life, taking what he wanted from his
neighbors' gardens and barnyards. If
the neighbor protested, Sam an
swered his objections by burning
down his barn or cutting the
tongues out of his cattle and horses.
Eventually no one ever dreamed of
protesting, and Sam ruled supreme
in Thurman, until one evil day he
was indicted for grand larceny and
sent to Dannemora.
He got out in the spring of 1918,
only to find that cousin, Orlie Ell
bridge, was living on the Pasco farm
that had belonged to Sans father.
Rather than have strangers profane
the dear old home of his sainted
parent, Sam drove them out at the
point of his Winchester, without
which he never went anywhere ex-
cept to Jail. Eldridge told his troubles
to Troopers Herrick and Kelly, who
sought out Pasco and attempted to
bring about reconciliation. Sam,
with his repeater cooked under his
arm, said he was willing to talk
things over.
Accordingly they sought out Ell
bridge, who seeing Pasco approach
ing between the two troopers,
thought that he had been arrested.

exclaimed as Sam approached, "they

in addition large class of readers
who are not Scientists and who re-
fuse to regard the newspaper in the
light of an organ Of the Church, and
who would never think of reading
"The Christian Science Journal or

that now and again some Scientist
writes in one of the Church publ
cations regarding "The Monitor"
wholly in it's relation to Science, to
the general public the paper has
gradually lost this significance and
has come to be associated with the

projects, "The Monitor" would
have to depend upon it's excellence
for the outside subscribers. 1t was
not the intention of the Church to
finance the paper, though no ex-
pense in the matter of equipment
had been spared. However the
looks of the place belied it, the staff
were made to hustle in the early
days in order to put the newspaper
on business footing. Undoubtedly
this desire for a successful bust
ness proposition modified the char
acter Of the paper. Its sectarian
character had to be masked. It
must accept contributions outside
the Church and cater to an audience
outside the Scientists if it were to

the result is an anomaly. Sooner
or later under such a course the
moment is likely to come when the
Church directors will take a definite
stand and demand to know whether
"The Monitor" is fulfilling it's pur-
pose or not. 1t may be that the i'm

very efficient business organization
in London which took care of all

is more impressed with the foreign
than with the domestic news in "The

news is based on the fact that only
small proportion of it's readers are
local readers.

due to her belief that the aims of

the two associations were too close
to permit of dispute. 1t may, again,
have been final attempt to tie the
Publication Society irrevocably to
the Church. There is plenty of evil
dence in the later writings of Mrs.
Eddy that she did attempt to pro-

this is the local pronunciation of
the family name Slater, from which
root many Of the mountaineers have
sprung. The gray riders, following
dim trails, have come upon weather

ments and the organization of war to
help meet the needs of peace.
This is story of only one phase of
the educational programme, but it
might be just as we'll to outline the
whole structure.
BY general army orders every group
OF 500 men has post school," d.
rected by an army officer appointed for
that purpose, and these schools are
taught by qualified officers and enlisted
men. Approximately 10000 men are
now attending these schools, which are
supervised by field representatives of
the Army Educational Commission.
Attendance is compulsory for illiter-
ates and voluntary for others. Hence,
the courses range from the "three
RS up to work Of high school and col
lege grade. These schools are in the
camps or in villages where troops are
billeted. Village cafes, halls, store
rooms; the end of barracks building
any available place that affords
shelter from the cold winds of North
ern France and Germany is likely to
be school room these days. Tar paper
makes fair blackboard Candles give
fair light. There may be but one text
to forty men. Nevertheless, the post
schools are booming. The unexpected
coming of the armistice has deprived
the army of the months of preparation
required to provide adequate facilities
for such a vast programme, but the
eagerness of the men for education,
coupled with the energy of the army
officers and of the commission, is put
ting the programme across in spite Of
difficulties.
