 FACULTY HAVE
 SENT IN PROTEST
Prof ,Miller of Ohio U. Was Dismissed Because He Objected to Compulsory Military Training

New Haven, Conn, June S-CUP) Thirty eight members of the Yale faculty, including Professor Douglas Clyde Macintosh who was refused citizenship because he refused to bear arms in "unjustified" wars, have sent protest to the adminis- tration of Ohio State University against the dismissal of Professor Herbert A. Miller, compulsory mli- itary training opponent.
 Other prominent members of the faculty who signed the protest were Dean Edgar s. Furniss of the grad uate school, Dean Charles E. Clark of the law school, Dean Luther A. Weigle of the divinity school, Pro- lessor Irving Fisher, the economist, Professor Harold J. Laski, visiting professor of political science from the University of London, and Pro- lessor Edwin M. Borchard, noted authority on international law.
 The protest, telegraphed to Dr George Washington Rightmire, pres ident of the Ohio State board ot trustees, read as follows:
 Because of our interest Tn academic freedom of speech and teaching, we, the undersigned mem bers of the faculty of Yale univer- sity, feel that 1t is our duty to make public our objection to your recent action in removing Professor Her bert A. Miller.
 "Our protest is based upon pub lished reasons for the dismissal giv- en by yourselves on May 27, 1881 This statement purports to set forth the charges which you have con sidered against Professor Miller and is offered as the final justification foi your action The unsubstantial na- ture of these charges indicates ar arbitrary censorship on your part which. if permitted to go without protest, would mean the end of in dependent and scientific expression of opinion at Ohio State university

High Place Accorded
Majestic Douglas Fir

A Scottish naturalist, rowing the
wild western land of the infant re-
public 103 years ago, brought the ma
jestic Douglas fir to the knowledge
of the scientific world, and for all
time it will bear his name. OF David
Douglas it is said that he contrib
uted probably more than any other
one man to the knowledge of our
northwestern trees and plants"
Returning home. he introduced the
Douglas fir into cultivation in Great
Britain, and the Scots value 1t highly
for finish and furniture. Now comes
the sequel, in this editorial paragraph
from the Seattle Times:
"A shipment of cargo of Seattle
made furniture to Scotland has more
than ordinary significance. The ar
ticles are all made of Washington
fir, wood held in higher esteem in
Scotland than walnut The purchasers
specified that the wood should he in
its natural grain, which everybody
knows is beautiful. We are familiar
with the cargoes usually exported
from this state, but when a new line
and new market are involved there
is good reason to rejoice" ~

One of these is fear of fire.
