At Last the Spelling
For Poor 'Godounof'

The question Of how to spell
"Godounoff" correctly-to use one
of many spellings-came up in con-
nection with the literary discussion
Of Pushkin's drama Boris Godoun-
of" on Invitation to Learning re-
Gently.
because the English alphabet di1-
fers from the Russian a Slavic word
is translated mainly by phonetics.
In the case Of 'Godounoff," there
are three vowel sounds, each of
which may be represented in English
by "o," "ou" or "u." Furthermore
the final consonant sound may be
translated as a." Sff," "v" or "w."
With these variations, the name can
be-and actually is-spelled 108 diff
ferent ways.

of war, to obtain food for Germany
and to weaken by semi-starvation
the people of occupied countries SO
that they will be less capable of
revolt"
The church leader says that the
results "are hunger and disease on
a gigantic SCALE" with nine mil
lion undernourished children. He
reports that in Poland, however,
the children are kept healthy to
the age of four "when they are
taken from their mothers and sent
to Germany to be raised as Ger
MANS"
The British clergyman, who Wis
tied Moscow last year, says that
within Germany are millions of
foreign workers and that women
have been logged and tortured and
from Poland and Russia they have
been deported to serve in German
brothels." Moreover, he adds,
that everything he has said "can
be proven to the hilt."

Child Care
Service Available

The Office of War Information
reports that approximately 20
million dollars for extensive child
care services will be available dur
ing the fiscal year 1915 to meet
the needs of working women with
children. The Federal Works
Agency is now financing the fol-
lowing services in connection with
nursery schools or child-care CEN
tiers: information centers for par
ents, health care, visiting teach
er service to work closely with
parents on needs of children en-
rolled at centers, and some trans
portation of children between their
homes and the centers. Communi-
ties where women with children
under two years are needed for
war work now may apply to FWA
for funds to establish group care
for these children.

For Religious Freedom
OF PROT

REPRESENTATIVES OF Prot
~ estant churches in this coun-
try have asked the Government to
use its influence to obtain legal
provision for religious freedom in
all nations.
In making this request, the
Protestant leaders are urging the
adoption of basic American prin-
ciple which is an admitted fact in
this country. The same cannot be
said of many foreign countries
where there exist relationships
between religion and the state
that would not be tolerated In the
United States.
1t remains to be seen whether
the end of the present struggle
will result in the spread of COM
plete religious liberty throughout
the world. While we think this
would be a distinct gain to the
cause of religion everywhere, we
have considerable doubt as to the
realization Of such a goal.

If Somebody Else Pays

HUMAN NATURE is reflected
- in the report of the American
Institute of Public Opinion, which
recently asked voters throughout
the nation whether the pay of
servicemen "who take part in
actual fighting" should be in
creased.
Throughout the nation seventy
per cent. of the individuals polled
voted in favor of the increased pay
but only sixty per cent. expressed
a willingness to pay higher taxes
to make this possible.
This demonstrates that at least
one-seventh of those who think
that fighting soldiers should re-
ceive increased compensation are
unwilling to contribute any money
for that purpose. They expect the
rest of the public to provide the
funds.
The fact is that many others,
who proclaim willingness to pro-
vide the funds, would be among
those bowling about high taxes il
the suggestion is adopted.

DARENTS OF MEN in the s

DARENTS OF MEN in the serv-
: ice of their country now in
the British Isles have no reason
to worry about the German propa-
ganda that the moral life of their
sons is in grave peril.
The Rev. w. Hammond Bow
man, Presbyterian minister of
Clover, S. c., effectively answers
this suggestion by recalling his
experience in the British Isles dur
ing the first World War. He has
a son who has been in England
for a long time.
The experiences of these men
offer complete reinsurance to any
parents who have become unduly
alarmed about their sons overseas"
This minister says that ''the grea:
bulk Of our boys will come back
home as good or better boys than
they were when they left u.s." He
says that they "would be sub
jected to just as many tempta.
tions" in this country as they face
in England.
