gree OF doctor OF medicine would be
granted but this would not confer the
right to practice medicine In France.
Courses for foreign students al
ready had been largely developed by
the faculty OF letters and DR.. Appel
said the university would make doc,
tors degrees accessible to foreign
students without lowering the stan
dards OF its requirements which
were. he said, much higher than
those Of any German university. He
also indicated that the Pasteur Bio
logical institute. the Radium insti-
tute and the Institute OF Radiothera-
peutics and probably the recently es-
tablished Institute OF Optics would
cooperate in offering opportunities
for American students to study in
Paris.

American students are to have an

nouncement has just been made by
DR.. Paul Appel, who has become
rector OF the great French educa-
tional institution, in succession to the
late Henri Poincare.
DR.. Appel has just told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that
classrooms, Laboratories and libra
ries of Paris are to be opened to
young Americans. The city Of Paris

stating that these were indispens-
able for the culture of the people.

Or. Appel states, that, owing to the
heavy war burdens imposed upon
France, she would be gratified II
America would cooperate with, her
in a practical way in the creation Of
the proposed American institute.
Unbounded admiration for the
spirit of the American nation was ex-
pressed by DR.. Appel in an interview
granted to the correspondent at the
Sorbonne. He declared that he de-
sired intensely to promote opportun-
tiles for young Americans to pursue
perfect their studies in France.
DR.. Appel said that the law faculty
OF the University OF Paris whose fame
is worldwide was considering ar
rangements for receiving foreign stu
dents who until now had been en-
titled only to attend special courses.

PRESS COMMENT.
Discomfort.

The United States was settled by people
who we're discontented and who faced the
privations Of the wilderness in the belief
that they were going to better themselves.
The Declaration of Independence was
signed by men who were disseminated.
The Revolutionary War was fought by
people who were discontented.
The Constitution of the United States
was framed and adopted by mcn who were
discontented.
For centuries discomfort has been right
" regarded as one OF the chief Characters
tics Of the American people, and it is
through discomfort that they spread from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Many of their manifestations of dis
content have been foolish and futile, but
in the long run their inherent common
sense has always saved them, and it al
ways must save them il they are TO be
saved
Why should there be SO much anxiety
over the discomfort that is now in evidence!
Merely because some of 1t is directed
against the institution Of private property
Most Americans have private property
in one form or another. Some have more
than others and some have lesS, but private
property is the rule and not the exception
in this country, and il is certain To remain
the rule
The discomfort that appeals tn violence
is not discomfort in any accepted sense OF
the word. II il crime and is to be dealt
with as crime Whenever municipal and
State governments will make that dis
tinction clear and act upon II with vIgor
and intelligence most OF the causes OF
public apprehension in regard 10 dis
content will disappear New York World.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING

A Case Of "Hogg ing"

The Levy Court very property granted
the request of Recorder OF Deeds Furman
G. Cole for moro clerks for his Office, in
order to attend to work that has long been
p;ling up on his present short-handed
force, but it does not propose to allow
him the privilege of selecting them. The
RapubIjcan members of the court will
attend to that business and make all the
selections.
From 3 business point of view, this is
unfortunate. The recorder is responsible
for the official results of his subordinates
and should have tho authority to select
them at will That he would have made
capable selections is not doubted.
Also, in the matter Of selecting these
twenty additional clerks, the five Re
publican members Of the levy Court have

They will make all the selections, each
member taking four The two Democratic
members will not be gwen o slngio ap-
