The appearance Of HENRY FosD

The appearance of HENRY FoBD in
Washington in the role Of the Giant
Junk Man gives new twist to the
Biblical phrase about the transfer
nation of swords into ploughshares.
1t is fleets into fiivvers" now. If
the other nations will agree to the
Hughes programme HENRY will back
his wagon up to Uncle SANS door
and take away the scrap heap.
Armor plate which yearned to
match its strength with shells will
find itself in axles that bear peaceful
folk to picnics. Steel which hoped
to vibrate to the letha1 music Of the
fighting tops will find itself in a four
inch cylinder, subject to the caprices
Of a smutty spark plug. Metal which
longed to feel the tap Of an Admiral's
heel will be beaten into thin plates
for hoods. Tinkle, tinkle!
1t would be more dramatic to take
the condemned ships out to sea and
drop them into the caves of Neptune
But the world has had plenty Of the
atricals these last seven years. HENRY
FORD is not dramatic when it comes
to shop management. If he says he
can take a battleship down and make
money out of the metal he means It..
And If he can make something use
full out Of something wasteful and
pay money to the Government for
the privilege, so much the better for
the national bankroll.

He finds that in many of the uni
versities such as Johns Hopkins and
Clark at Worcester, Massachusetts,
local demand for teaching univer.
sity has in a measure interfered with
the research work to which these in
stitutions were originally devoted
He finds too that the work of the
American professors and lecturers is
in general heavy; they are expected
to instruct their pupils more mi
nutely than in England and their
work time is heightened by the in
creasing demand for summer schools
He was particularly struck with the
fact that Amherst collected in its
festival year $3,350,000. He attrib
utes this to the class system. which
keeps men of each year closely In
touch throughout life. I'm this OF
some similar system Oxford and Cam
bridge might find rich and almost
unworked vein of liberality." The
wealthy men Of the United States, he
says. certainly set an example to the
remainder of the world in generosity
to the cause Of education.
For American universities there
is. az Professor ROSE suggests, no
one system. They are developed In
accord with the needs Of the people,
and many Of them to-day are "grap.
pling with the greatest and perhaps
most complex educational problem
of all time"--that of striving to weld
very diverse racial elements into a
compact nation. American univer.
stiles have defects, that is undeni.
able, but at the same time there is
that wonderful power for remedying
them which Professor Rose sums up
as the enthusiasm Of young and
growing nation for the universities
which are aiding so nobly in its
development.

The submarine that is worth a
continental for defence will sooner
or later send some Lusitania to the
bottom of the ocean.
The submarine that cannot send
some Lusitania to the bottom of the
ocean is toy, and no nation will
ever trust itself to the protection Of
a fleet of toy submarines.
Every nation that has submarines
will have murderous submarines
They will be quite as murderous
within their cruising range, as those
that wrought unspeakable horrors in
the war.
The only possible excuse for the
retention OF the submarine is that
it costs less than honest ships for
national defence.
But can great nations, or any ma.
tions as to that matter. justify them.
selves in the retention Of the sub.
marine on the sordid ground that it
costs less money?
Does civilized warfare count for
nothing, so long as we must still
have wars? Does humanity count

Concerning Jersey Snakes.

At the coming meeting in Newark
of the Reptile Study Society of
America it is understood that ASA
PITTMAN, the distinguished herpetol-
ogist and rattlesnake hunter of the
Jersey pines, will present interesting
data relative to the snake resources
of our neighbor across the Hudson.
1t is Mr.. PITTMAN's opinion that New
Jersey has as many and as bad snakes
as are to be found anywhere in this
Eastern end Of the country.
In proof Of this he will be person
ally accompanied at the meeting by a
number of Jersey rattlesnakes, which,
he ventures to assert, he will match

thing the continent can produce.

November Rain.

The rain Is dripping from the trees,
And running from the caves.
And splashing on the open road
Bestrewn with sodden leaves,
And every bush and leafless twig
And withered plant appears
Impearled with countless tiny drops
Like melancholy tears.
For all the radiant floral band
That made the autumn gay,
The asters and the goldcnrod,
Alas have passed away,
And DER her flower children dead
Upon their woodland bier.

Lessons From Olympic Games.

A book which will be cherished
and much thumbed by owners who
are enthusiastic about athletics, and
it will fall into the hands of few
who are not, Is the five hundred page
report of the seventh Olympic games
held in Antwerp last year.
TO Americans 1t will be agreeable
to read the details Of the winning Of
points by our amateur athletes in
swimming, wrestling, boxing, trap
shooting, rowing; Of the unexpected
success Of our Rugby football team.
our fencers, skaters: of the victory in
the track and field division Of the
American competitors by the wide
margin Of 2001s points to 121 Is
points over their nearest rivals, the
representatives Of Sweden.
But, very wisely, the American
writer's deal modestly with our tri-
umphs, and lay emphasis on the
value Of this Quadrennial world
athletic competition. Through these
meetings, says an American writer,
"some have learned that you can
compete without hate, lose and yet
smile, win and still be gracious: !:
that to cheer for the other team is
better sportsmanship than to cheer
for your own, and that to hiss or boo
your opponent is to be held up to
ridicule in the eyes of sportsmen."
Upon turning over many pages one
finds an apt illustration to corrobo-
rate this implied lesson in good
sportsmanship, picture of RICHARD
LANDoN, the American jumper, car
ried on the shoulders Of smiling com
petitors he has Just defeated in the
high jump by his new Olympic rec
ord of feet 1-5 inches.
Boxing came into good repute at
the seventh set OF games after long
struggle for recognition as respect
able sport. Writing on this subject
Baron PIERRE DE CoUBERToN, presi.
dent Of the international committee,
says: "This time the public agreed
with 1t. Its champions proved them
selves worthy Of public esteem. In
general their spirit Of being good
sports was very pleasing. Here were
found working in harmony physical
strength and courtesy, scorn of blows
and prudence, opposite virtues which
make for true manliness."

Governor To Call Special Session
Revision OF German Reparations
Payments Heralded By Visits OF
SHINES And Rathenau To London
Issuance of Loan, With Allied Assistance Strengthen
Germanys Financial Position Is Being Considered;
British Hope For Plan to Stem Flood of Marks

Arrival of the German agents to-
day was due to supreme anxiety IN
financial circles, where Germany's
ability to meet the reparations install
ment has been a foremost topic dur
ing recent weeks.
WHAT is believed to be the desire of
the British government to bring
about a new discussion of reparations
le generally regarded as being due as
much to domestic trade consideration
as to a realization of the precarious
position Germany would have to con-
front should the stipulated payments
to the allies be exacted.
Pressure, it is understood, has been
exerted on the government from in
fluential quarters where the belief is
held that the only way to insure
eventual adjustment of Germany's OBJ
legations is to stabilize her finances,
the first part of this plan being the
stemming of the flood of paper
marks.
The plan probably will entail de-
ferment of Ger!pany's payments and
there are reports that the British
member of the reparat:ons commits
sion has placed before the British
government proposal for a two-year
or a three-year moratorium
Issuance of loan with allied as:
sistapce to make Germany's finan-
cial position more secure is another
rart of the plan which is said to be
receiving Official attention here.
The British government is closely
considering every aspect of the Ger
man rerarations question. Although
il is said Dr. Rathenau holds no Off
cial position, lie probably will have
an interview with the chancellor of
the excheQuer and it is believed his
visit is not unconnected with the sub
mission of proposals similar to those
he entered into with France for the
rehabilitation of devastated France,
for the consideration Of the British
government.
Dr. Rathenau AID DR.. Simon had a
busy day in London, having two in
terviews with Sir Robert Kindersley,
director of the Bank of England.
In Whitehall, there were numerous
conferences between the cabinet min
istersa nd Sir John S. Bradbury, prin-
cipal British representative on the re-
parations commission, and Baron
d'Abernon. British ambassador to Ger

lieved to be connected with the mis-
sion of the Germans.
