Review of Up Stream Giuen

name for Madison, Wis. His refer
ences to the university and various
members of it's facility are particular
ly interesting to anyone familiar with
ire institution. After year at Wis
consin the instructor in German &C
cepts an offer of similar position at
another university in a middle West
years. Here the war overtakes him,
and he relates in an intimate manner
the heartbreaking, soul trying exper-
fence through which he passed in his
position as a member of the univer-
sity faculty This led to his reSigna-
ion and return to the East, where he
laugh for time in a private school
for boys, but finally he devotes him
self entirely to literature, and appar-

also, let us hope, more deserved
recognition. Throughout the exper-
fences of his mature life there runs d
wistful vein, a sense of disappoint
ment it'll the realities in his beloved
and perhaps over idealized America,
and relays bare what seem to him the
faults of our life and our attitude. The
fact that his book has been so widely
read among us indicates that Ameri-
cans are willing to listen to criticism.
It is always useful to ''see ourselves
as others see u.s., and Up Stream
should certainly lead to a broader
outlook, and prove profitable as well
as entertaining.
AT the close of the meeting at the
request of the federation of womens

Housekeeping magazine a straw vote
was taken for President.

tened to Mrs Runge's review of up

books of the past year, an unusual
book by an unususal author, seems
to be an effort to tell the plain, naked
truth, as the author sees it, regard
less of consequences to himself or
others. In beautiful and vigorous
English the story is told from the
earliest childhood of the sensitive,
visionary and rather solitary lad in
the middle class German home in
Berlin, the interesting environment

REV. HARRIS
ON COOPERATING

ShouI.' Work Together for the
Advancement Of the Race

Rev. Henry Harris, pastor af the
local Congregational church, declared
that he is alarmed at the present stu
alton in Europe, speaking before the
KiwaHis club at the Warren house
on Wednesday. He asserted the av-
erage citizen was apathetic but those
who had returned from studying the
situation abroad were afraid of an
other conflict. and that at no distan
day
The last war cost not only the IL
100000 men who were listed in the cas-
uaties but more who have died as an
indire It re:uf5 of EXP osuIe at the frCnt
He cited the case of Edward LEM
who passed away few days ago from
heart failure, no doubt due to serv-
ing at the battle front.
The speaker feared there was q
breaking down at the present time
Of the democratic spirit There was
much said about the breaking down
VI ZIG MOI dtC OuI luS ChS wal anu
Rev. Harris feared there was a
weakening of the spirit for peace at
the present time.
The politicians must settle the diff
faculties if war is to be averted. AS
Frank Crane has sutd, 'Do not fid-
die while Rome is burning"
Rev. Harris did not like the attitude
of some Of the yellow journals" and
feared that at any time some OF the
nations might lose their heads. He
could see how Germany lived in fear
for years with France on one side
and Russia on the other, also how 9th
er nations are uneasy over the present
situation.
In concluding the speaker said he
did see some hopeful signs and would
have all apply the spirit of enthusi-
asm for peace that was manifest five
years ago as we entered the war He
was opposed to any program which
would result in one man killing an
