THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Pr1TIE appearance in this city tomorrow of
L So well known man a. Sir Auckland
Geddes. the British Ambassador, to make
the principal address at the dedication Of
the J. William White Surgical Pavilion Of
the University IIosnita will attract wide
attention TO the occasion.
1t also will serve to remind those already
familiar with the facts that the University
Hosrital is one of the greatest institutions
Of the kind in the world and renew their
pride in It.

medical education in the country. hut the

the low rank they once occupied. II We stood
still hrre the city would be surpassed by
New York or Boston or Chicago in the
course of time.
But we are not standing still. The trus-
tees of the University are alert 10 tn" needs
of the city. While they are not seeking 10
rival any other institution as center OF
medical education, they are devoting them
selves TO the task OF keeping the University
abreast of the times. They are doing this
not because they want to surpass anybody,
but because they want 70 make the greatest
contribution possible to the advance OF medl-
cal knowledge for the general good.
Sir Auckland was awar" Of the dstin-
ruishcd history Of tho University Hospital
and Medical School when he accepted the
invitation 10 make the dcdicatory address,

Lloyd George was his chief foreign an

But the British Government now in effect
declares that if 1t cannot be n partner It

to assume belligerent attitudes In the face
OF conciliation and good will.
During the adjournment period the French
will be enabled to consider seriously the con-
sequences of invading the Ruhr, but the
Government cannot count on bitter words
from Bonar Law as a goad. There IL
chance that desperate ventures may lose
their attraction now that the authority of
France to do what she pleases has been
automatically admitted
Good feeling is also said to have been
established by agreement upon the intimate
relation of rcparations and the inter -aHfed
European debts. Whether or not the United
States can be drawn into future discussion,
and in spite Of the fact that the chances are
still strongly against our participation,
gain in common sense and In n grasp of in
tcrnational polty is TO be registered. Debts
and the German indemnitieS are indeed
'cognate questions md the European
Irelniers cannot escape from fog until their
financial program comprehends the connec-
tlon between two monumental subjects.
II is true in a sense that the disrupted

that era of feeble conferences which marked
the aftermath of the Napolconic wars, sug-
gests q run to cover Mt the first glimpse OF
realities. But the poise of the snvoys and
the absence of an atmosphere of panic must
not be discounted. There is still an oppor-
tunity to build upon this progress. slight
though It be, and for eleventh hour rc1cc-
tions before the sessions are resumed In

any rational end. Yet the objections raised
in these columns during the last ten days
to secret and persistent abuses Of the ad-
ministrativc system AZ IIolmesburg Prison

and stupidity of the prison management

cruelty always was and always will be a

thrust out physically broken, unfit for labor,
desperate, hopeless, penniless after long
periods Of confinement hewl'dcrcd with
hatred and distrust of society and with
