and which now threatens similar de-
struction in these waters. according Ia

PASSING OF CITADEL,
CRADLE OF HEROES
Famous Military School at
Charleston. s. c., About
to Be Abandoned.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 6.-Charles- g.
ems historic Citadel. which produced
many of the heroes of the Confederacy
il the civil war, Is about to be aban-
Goned as a military school. The city and
he State have provided new quarters
for the college at a cost OF more than
81. 600, 900.
About the buildings which have be-
come known as the Citadel much history
has been wrought. The main building
was used prior TO 1890 as tobacco in
spection warehouse and into 1t rolled
great hogsheads drawn by mule, horse
and oxen from interior farms. Upper
stories were added from time to time
until to-day the building is stalwart
structure four stories high, with accom-
nodations for 325 cadets.
After service as n tobacco inspection
warehouse the Citadel was used for
guards who patrolled the city's maga-
zine on the outskirts of Charleston and
Il was during this period that the name
Citadel came into common use in de-
scribing the building. The guards were
called Citadel Guards.
In 1S42 the State decided TO convert
the Citadel into military college. and
on December 20 of that year the South
Carolina Military College had its gen.
esis, the Arsenal" then at Columbia
being used as a preparatory school.
With the outbreak of the war between
the States Citadel cadets Joined the
Confederate army and some Of the
South's most famous soldiers developed
from among them. Citadel men are
said to have fired the first shot OF
the war when the steamer Star Of the
West endeavored to bring supplies to
beleaguered Fort Sumter. A piece OF
wood from the Star of the Vests hull
was fashioned into a star and for up
ward of thirty years replica has
adorned gold medal awarded at the
school for efficiency at drill
The Citadel was occupied by Federal
troops during reconstruction days, but
was returned to the State and reopened
as military college in 1882. 1t is To-
Gated on Marion Square in the heart

sS5,25s PAID TO AID
PRINCETON HELP
Students in Autumn Term
Working Their Way Get
Considerable Sum.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD,
PRINCETON, May 6.-Surprise and as
tonishment were widespread among the
alumni and undergraduates of Princeton
University when the Bureau Of Ap-
pointments and Student Employment Of
ficially announced that during the
autumn term, undergraduates received
through its offices the large sum of $751;
253.1S. This total Is more than six
times as the amount handled by the
self-help organization lastlyear. in the
same period, and represents practically
all of the earnings on the campus.
1t is Prnceton's boast, that her men
form the most democratic group OF col
lege students in the country, and that
no discrimination of any kind is made
against those, who honorably attempt
to earn their way through their four
year course. This boast seems TO be
well substantiated. when ii is learned
that there are now 36S students or Is
per cent. of the entire University en-
rollment registered on the records Of the
Bureau. Such large proportion Of
men could hardly escape exerting a
very considerable influence on the gen
eral tone of the University as whole,
and men who work together hard for
a purpose never have time to be any
thing but democratic.

in the university mining halls, various

With its new enlargement the bureau
has been able TO find many lucrative po-

matter over to our army and navy to
bring about a satisfactory peace.
After the Revolutionary war our
forefathers firmly decided that we should
have no fighting. To this end they junked
our navy and most of our army. Almost
before the ships were scrapped we were
building new ones to protect our trade
in the Mediterranean.
Jefferson decided that we did not need
a great navy only a few gunboats TO
protect our coasts. His folly was amply
paid for by the nation in the war OF
1912. Then again did we forget our de-
fcnses.
When the civil war came upon us II
was months before we were able q
get proper army in the field. and years
before our navy was again efficient. The
result was that In the absence OF a
powerful naval force the South was able
to get munitions from abroad almost
faster than could we, and because OF our
lack of troops to stop the mobilization OF
the Confederates they built up an army
in the same time that we did,
Had our forces been adequate and
ready for action. we would not have
had less than a hundred men at Fort
Sumter. The rebellion would have been
crushed at its very beginning.
Our army and navy were again reduced
to almost nothing. And, as a result we
were drawn into terrible war because
Of our lack of armament. Had We
possessed a proper army and navy In
1915 Germany would never have dared
to murder American men. women and
children on the high seas, and had Ger
many not supplied the cause for a
declaration of war to our Congress we
would never have fought. We would not
be head over heels in debt and with too
many graves in France
But even with all these examples for
precedent. Congress has started to cut
the army and navy, to pieces. Arma-
ments are not for the making OF war,
but for bringing to a successful close a
struggle declared to exist by our govern
ing body. Disarmament would not give
us peace. because armaments do. not
make war.

TO fly with tapping wings across a sand
