against use Of the submarine in the
unrestricted manner employed by
Germany during the world war.
2. Formal rejection OF Britain's
plea for the abolition OF the subma-

for 10000 tons for Great Britain

will pay a moderate sum for his own inconvenience, S2 for instance. This done, he goes to find another cab and works the same plan again. Sometimes he is in league with the drivers of itinerant cabs.
 I feel somewhat like brand new just-turned-twenty-one voter out to do something large and definite Tn the world as one finds it. For l have been rushing up O Poughkeepsle for a whole week of morning sessions of the Vassar Alumnae conference. They were serious affairs, too. The cartoonists who draw pretty pictures of college gatherings would have sat back and slept sweetly. And l felt quite aged at the new things being done in college since 1 stepped out of it's doors. Consequently 1 have to talk about it-event here. The Vassar alumnae, impelled with the realization that a big college group ought to take a definite part in threshing out some of the problems of it's generation, sat down and threshed with might and main. What ought college t do for it's students? !? What does it do? Wha can it do furher? All of those things were taken up along with such general subjects as growth of greater democ- racy, cooperation, freedom, responsi- bility, and other details which this country as whole is getting down to doing some hard thinking about. And after sitting in at those discus sions I shall never again feel vague and uncertain when some one asks me suddenly What does college do for women anyhow?" Why, have not heard so much public spirit and so much sanity in ages. I certainly am being proud of my alma mater!

We'll, Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer,, descendant of som eof those who established Manhattan's laws and precedents, has come for ward with the answer. At least, she gives us the original meaning, but admits that times have changed, and that she'd like to know for herself what the modern phrase is all about. In the days of her remote ancestors, says Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, the free dom of the city amounted in effect to peddler's license, which gave the holder freedom to push his cart and sell his wares in the city streets. She has a copy of one of the ancient documents. And she is interested in knowing whether the Aldermen stick to the old form and grant just that
 the city's honored guess. If it means something else she thinks the
