Declares America
Must Not Be Lowered
to European Standard

New York, March 21.-The stand
ard of the League of Nations must
be raised to Americas plane" and
the world coVanant should be
modified so that there will be no
question about the protection of
American institutions against for
eign intrigue" asserted Governor
Walter f. Edge. of New Jersey,
United States Senator-elect, in an
address here last night.
Speaking at the dinner of the As
sociated Manufacturers of Electrical
Supplies, Governor Edge declared
that the standard of America must
not be lowered to the average of the
nations of Europe and Asia which
he said would naturally control the
league. He said that if the league
constitution involves no impairment
of the Monroe doctrine and would
not result in entangling alliances,
sit ought to say so in plain lam
guage."

Who Will Spread 1t
to Homes

Philadelphia. March 21.- Through
the government savings director of
the Twelve Federal Reserve Dis
tricts, the savings division of the
! United States Treasury department

and presidents of all normal schools,
colleges, universities and public

happy habit.
Donald JR Cowling, president of
the merican Council on Education.

the presidents of various institutions
of higher learning to appoint local

movement.
AS a result of an appeal from the
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Glass,
to the National Educational Conven-
tion, held in Chicago on February
20. that thrift be made a part of the
school curriculum. the association
evolved a plan whereby the savings
division and the Council of Educa-
tion will create thrift organizations
in each of the normal schools. col
leges, universities and public roads.
The basic principals of Intelligent
saving-wise buying. sane spending,
safe investment and the avoidance
of waste will be taught Thrift
Stamps and w. 5. S. Stamps will be
featured as the ideal investment for
small savings.
The following have already accent
ed the task of promoting the move
ment of War Savings in their insti-
tutions of the year 1919:

, mote thrift by wise spending and

To encourage students of the University of

corps issued a statement today pointing out
the advantage of the corps
In the first place" he said "thc object OF
the corps is to qualify students for the conf
missioned grades OF the different branches
or the army and the primary advantage of
the training thus received is the students
ability TO fight his way through the world
either in the army or in civil life
The habit of attention is best learned
from military training. 1t cannot be formed
as result of one years training nor as a
result of three years training. but when
acquired 1t equps the individual with re-
markable powers of concentration, gives him
a strong memory and the ability to estimate
properly the situation confronting him.
Obedience Habit Valuable Asset
"'rhe obedience learned through military
training equips the individual with the power
of so controlling himself as to execute cor
rectly even to the mlnutest details the in
structions given by those in ax hority over
him. The scholastic advantages of joining

The poem, "Alsace." was written shortly

printed here for the first time:
ALSACE,
Stern Watcher by the lofty Strasburg gate,
Spirit incarnate of Alsace whose fate
Was hidden through tho sodden years
OF serfdom bleak with rage and tears,
Beneath thy gallant. stricken wings
Rouse thee! Aloft thy cymbals fling!
The foeman crushed thy dreams to earth,
Thy dauntless pride but stirred his mirth,
What rocked he of thy souls new birth?
Thine eyes were haunted pools of pain
When far across the mist -drenched plain
Rose cries of grief from sad Lorraine.
But still thou waited silent. still. elate,
Fair Alsace by thy Strasburg gate
(Though all thy robes were tattered, frayed
That once thy regal form arrayed).
For this great Day. when God should toll
the hour,
To fling the brutal foeman from thy tower
ope wide thy gate! Behold thy fleeing
Master,
Alone, fear-haunted. prone in fell disaster,
While all the nations weep with frenzied
laughter!
Let now thy wondrous Minister bell
Fair Alsace peal his funeral knell
Deck out thy arches, coonnades.
Roar forth thy Joy in cannonades;
With Foch and all his Knights of Liberty!
Back TO thy hearts beoved-France
Back with untarnshed name and lance
Thou and thy comrades from the bleeding
West.
Creep as tired children to thy mothers
breast
