RECORDS HINT THAT
 WILSON QUIBBLED
Did He or Did He Not Promise
 Aid to Europe?

Washington, Oct. |. - President Wilson's branding of Senator Spencer 1MoD as being guilty of talsehood in stating that the President promised 10 send military aid to the Serbs and Rumanians under the League of Ma tions plan, has proved a boomerang that is source of pain and grief to the Administration and to support CTS of the Wilson league everywhere.
 The rapid fire of statement and de nial kept up between SSnator Spen- cer and the White House came to a sudden halt after the Senator pro duced the record of Mir. Wilson's own words on which his charge was based and the President contented himself with a telegraphic answer far wide of the real issue. The President did not attempt 10 deny the records the Sen ator produced. All he could say was: ''I am perfectly content to leave it to the voters of Missouri to determine which of us is telling the truth"
 Makes No Denial
 Senator Spencer sought 10 lead the President into an even deeper en- tanglement. His last telegram to the White House quoted the President. with Senator Reed (MoD. Democrat, as sponsor for the correctness of the Presidents words as telling the Rumanian Premier. Bratiano. that if there was trouble there the United States would send armies and ships to help out. Senator Spencer specif- ically asked in this wire that the President tell whether this was said bx, him. The President did not deny it today.

 Preceding today's developments the situation was this: Senator Spencer charged publicly that the president had made such promise while abroad. Secretary Tumulty denied il

Where the Schools Fail

Lord Haldane, in the Yale Review.
 It Is true that nothing can fill the place in the preparation for life that instruc- tion during youth provides. But. after all. this schooling of youth is but means to an end. It's aim is not so much to provide items of knowledge, to be treasured up and specifically applied in later years, as to initiate process of emancipation from the bonds of the ig- ncrant incapacity which prevent develop ment, and so to render possible an ad- vance through later life toward real freedom of the spirit The things learned are, in other words, not ends in them selves. but the mlestones which mark pI ogress toward liberation. What ought always to be aimed at is the develop ment of capacity to take larger views. and so to attain to a wide outlook Now. school learning helps toWards thss m SC far as it prepares for entry into the re- zion where the larger outlook can be at tained But school learning taken by itself. although under exceprIona. each CTS it may be made to suggest more, Is of necessity fraught with defects. This is because in a great mass of schools in which good average result has to be tined at, the principle followed has to be appropriate to period of life in
 N hich discipline of mind and body needs
 to be enforced and not left to be spon-
 taneously sought. What is taught at
 such a stage is taught as truth that
 may not be questioned. It is what is put
 forward as final truth, and not this
 search after truth, which is almost or necessity inculcated in the school. The teaching is therefore apt to seem ex- ternal. and to lack the living interest which later and fuller experience of life first makes possible.

A Mystery Ship Indeed

Admiral Sims. in Worlds Work, relates a personal experience which illustrates the effective disguise of the mystery ships:
 I can personally testify to the diff culty of identifying a mystery ship. One day Admiral Bayly suggested that we go out in the harbor at Queenstown and visit one of these strange vessels lying there preparatory to sailing on cruise. Several merchantmen were lying In the harbor We steamed close around one in the admiral's barge and examined her very carefully through our glasses rom a short distance Concluding that this was not the vessel we were seeking we went to another merchantmen. rms did not show any signs of being mys- tery ship we therefore hailed the sklp- per, who told us the one which we hau first visited was the mystery ship. We went back, boarded her, and began eX- amining her appliances. The crew was dressed in the ordinary sloppy clothes or a merchantman's deckhands; the officers wore the usual merchant ship uniform and everything was as unmilitary as
 merchant ship usually is The vessel had quite long deck house, bullt or light steel. The captain told us that two guns were concealed within this struc- ture; he suggested that we walk at
 around it and see if we could point out from close lSpecioH tile ioeoeioh VI WY
 guns. We searched carefully, but were
 uatterly unable to discover where the
 guns were The captain then sent the
 crew to quarters and told us to stand
 clear At the word of command one
 of the plates of the perpendicular ssce
 of the deckhouse slid out Of the way
 as quickly as flash. The rail at the ships side in front of the gun feli down and boat davit swung out and rlreo a primer to indicate how quickly they could have fired real shot.
