Folk
And What
They Do
Scholar, Humonist
Directs British
Propaganda
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON,

Perhaps this is somewhat far
fetched, but it seemed to this writer
that Gilbert Murray, the British
Greek scholar, was more effective
than any other one man In stating
England's case from 1914 to 1917,
and in bringing US into the war. His
activities were unomcial, but this
time another scholar and humanist
is oficially at the head Of the min
istry Of information-Lord Mac
MILAN, Scottish jurist and member
OF the Privy Council for the past
nine years.
In lecture in 1894, as a pro-
tagonist Of the British way Of think
ing" he lauded the amatuer spirit
and voiced suspicion of the expert
mind He cited the ancient Roman
road, going straight to its goal, as
less IN the pattern of British ira
dition than the meandering of old
English Pilgrims way" He was wary
OF the perfectionist and the pre-
clsionist. He assailed dogmas and
the dogmatic mind.
Il am not certain that any scien-
tif1c man has ever become the parti-
san of a side" he said in another
lecture In the same year.
He is a lean, grim looking Scot,
deceivingly humorous and urbane,
like many of his countrymen. At
Edinburgh University he took the
highest honors in philosophy, but
he Is an expert in sublimating phi
losophy into immediate and exigent
meaning. What is the use Of
producing wonderful things without
the ability to sell them?" he asked
in 1882. And, with this ambidex-
trous quality Of mind, he has been
both explaining and selling the
British Empire for many years
shrewdly and effectively.
England breaks out the guns
and the pamphlets simultaneously.
There is no question that the British
ministry of information is a more
important Office than it has ever
been before-in any time or place.
Modern communications have pro-
vided new combat weapon, and
1t is not surprising that Britain
dropped the pamphlets ahead of the
bombs, in the first move against
Germany. That, too, is doubtless q
precedent in warfare.
Lord Macmillan, a clergyman's
son, elevated to the peerage in 1880.
has honorary degrees from many Of
the great universities of the world,
Columbia among them. He has been
active in the Pilgrims Society and
member of various committees on
banking, finance and industry hav-
ing to do with inter-related busi-
ness affairs of Britain and America.

The ship was very crowded, the
passengers including number of
foreigners, among them several per-

Miss Williams planned her Eu-
ropean trip to attend the biennial
conference of the International
Federation Of University Women
in Stockholm as an unofficial dele
gate from the Washington branch
of the American Association Of
University Women. She attended
the conference but changed her
plans for visiting Germany and
other countries on the continent
in view of war rumors, spending
most of her vacation in England
and Scotland. England she found
highly nervous over the interna-
tional situation, and her desire to
return home was increased by the
threats of railroad strike before
the crisis became acute.

road tickets" she lamented, but I

Added to the stock market pic

a good barometer of business ma

Business apparently is paying
