STRIKE OF STUDENTS
CALLED AT COLUMBIA
1000 Attend Mass Meeting as Pro-
test Against Expulsion df
College Editor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April A strike of
Columbia University students, to start
Wednesday, was called for at mass
meeting held on the steps of the uni
versity library today in protest against
the expulsion of Reed Harris. editor
of the Spectator, student publication.
More than 1000 students of Colum-
bia College attended the meeting and
scores of them remained to enlist for
picket duty on Wednesday, when, ac-
cording to the plans, all the university
buildings will be picketed.
The protest meeting was directed by
r. F. Hall, president of the Social
Problems Club. and John L. Donovan
member of the club. A succession OF
students mounted the pedestal Of the
alma mater statue to address the
crowd, a few of them upholding the
action of Dean Herbert e. Hawkes. in
expelling Harris, although the majority
denounced the expulsion of the editor
Hall charged that the expulsion of
Harris resulted as much from his edi-
torial sponsorship of the student dele
cation which recently attempted to
visit the Kentucky mine area as from
his attacks on commercialized foot ball

B|METALISTS WIN
FRENCH BACKING
Demand for Silver Parley
Growmg-U. S. Action
Well Received.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 4-French bimetallists
are in favor of an international silver
conference at the earliest date.
A campaign for bimetallism has been
in progress here for some time and the
initiative of the American Congressional
Committee on Silver look toward such a
reunion was we'll received here.
Senator Joseph Caillaux, we'll known
financier and former minister of finance,
and Raymond Patenotre, Americanborn
member of the Chamber of Deputies,
are two of Frances most passionate
believers in the power of silver to re-
juVenate business conditions.
Recalls Bryan's Speeches.
Patenotre has been writing and speak
ing on the subject for six months. He
believes the two-standard monetary
system would give Asia, Mexico, Ger
many and England a buying power
which would start an entire series of
economic factors to work for a return to
prosperity.
Patenotre recalls Bryan's famous 16-
to-1 presidential campaign and explains
that bimetalliSm in one country is not
workable but that universally used it
is salubrious. He would place the
ratio between gold and silver at some
where near so to l, rather than choose
Bryans historic Is to l. He believes
the ratio will remain steady inasmuch
as 10 per cent of silver is mined as a
by-product
The small ratio will not make it profit
able, he says, for silver to be mined
for its own value. Hence, he argues
the supply of the metal will not in
crease abruptly.
Adoption of silver as a standard
along with gold would give the Western
part of the United States, Central
America, South America and Asia,
where large silver stocks are now value
less, a sudden purchasing power, and it
would enable countries like England to
stabilize their money by buying silver
Patenotre believes it would also be
used by Germany and other countries
poor in gold.

HARVARD PAYS TRIBUTE TO HER
 ' HEROIC DEAD
New $l,000, 900 Memorial Church Was Dedicated
 To-day - IFS Harvard
 Men Died in War

Cambridge, Mass, November II - (UP) - With solemn exercises attended by about 1,200 persons, Harvard University today dedicat- ed the new Harvard Memorial church, $1,000,000 tribute of the Alumni to the IFS Harvard men who died for the allied cause in the World War.
 The dedication nrogram was an elaboration of the regular Harvard Sunday chapel services. The Rt Rev William Lawrence, formerly Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, preached the sermon, and A. Law renee Lowell. president of Harvard, read a lesson from the Old Testa- ment.
 "Because the sons of Harvard have faith, want more faith. and believe in the constant nurture of faith,'' said Bishop Lawrence, they have given this chapel to the university. They have so planned that as the students enter the chapel they will pass through a porch saturated with the atmos- phere of faith - faith in the truth, in liberty, in love, in justice, and a readiness to sacrifice their best in the search for and at. tainment of the objects of that
 The "porch" referred to by Bishop Lawrence is a memorial room under the big tower of the Georgian chapel. In the room, opened for the first time today. are travertine tables bearing the names of the Harvard men who died for the German cause.
 Also in the memorial room is a statuary group, "The Sacrifice" !" given as a memorial to Robert Bacon, '80, former ambassador to France, by his widow. Designed by Miss Malvina Hoffman, the work formerly stood in the Cathe- dral of St John the Divine in New York.
 The chapel is equipped with . $50.000 organ. given by Ralph 1sham, 'S9, of Santa Barbara. Cal. in memory of his son, Albert K. Isham, '15.
