WHILE PHYSICALLY UNFIT RE-
MAIN BEhIND.
GOVERNMENT PLACES FOR DONS
In normal times a certain propor-
tion of officers of the regular English
army have come from the universi-
ties of Oxford and Cambridge, but
since the beginning of the war no
.other British institutions have been
so vitally affected. The entire ob-
ject of these universities was to train
young men of the age and social stand-4
ing who would be the most likely to
go to the front. Since the new units
have been raised to almost indefinite
numbers, the diminution in the num-
ber of undergraduates has be'en re-
markable.
For the most part the men who are
now attending the universities are1
physically incapacitated from joining
the army, and they lack the love for
athletic characteristics of the ordin-
ary Oxford and Cambridge men. The
upper-class students, or "bloods" have
been fighting and dying for months in
the trenches. . The athletes of the
schools were the first to answer the
call to arms, the crews, cricket teams,
cross-country runners, and even the
average men have joined the army.
The war has dealt a terrible blow
to the teaching staff of the universi-
ties. In spite of the endowments of
the schools all of them were more or
less dependent on fees from the under-
graduates. Some of the instructors
have not earned a single cent since
the opening of the struggle. The fel-
lowships have fallen greatly in value
because the colleges had invested so
much in university property. At Cam-
bridge a large number of undergradu-
ates have to live in houses licensed by
the university. When the graduates
disappeared the lodging houses were
left vacant an, the b .sees have been
utterly unable to pay the rents. The
colleges La-o been faced with t"':
dilemma o' (ijsicssing and thereby
ruiing a ct eo f:orthy tenants or of
remitting the rents an, pocketing the
less. Up to this tim"' the universities,
have stood by their tenants and are
bearing the exper.se of maintenance.
Some relief las bee:i furnished the
university comiunities by the great
demand of the government for assist-
ance. The dons, skilled in science, have
been eagerly drafted by the govern-
ment for scientific work, and a great
number of the other fellows have
found jobs more or less lucrative in
the enlarged government departments.
Since the buildings can no longer
New Pub1ic ations,
and Their Authors
be used for teaching purposes the gov-r
ernmnent has turned them into bar-
racks. Though the names of the un-
dergraduates still remain on the stair-
cases as in the old days of peace, their
rooms have been emptied of their furn-
iture and have been turned over to the
soldiers. Not since the Civil war
when the army of Charles Ioccupied
Oxford as its headquarters have such
scenes been witnessed in one of thef
ancient universities.
To the dons the war is brought home
daily by the casualty lists. As they
sit in their rooms they think of the
men who have lived on the same stair-
cases with theim and who have been
part of their daily lives, whom they.
will never see again. Thousands of
Oxford and Cambridge men have al-
ready figured in the rolls of honor, and
thousands yet are sure to go. How-
ever, those who have studied the his-
tory of the great universities take
courage from the past, and believe
that when the war is over there will
be a great rush to the seats of learn-
ing.

I suddenly long to be alone,
Where the shadowy lake lies

Where the quivering moon-

Where the blue-black hills are

That rises in their garment of

Touched by a mighty hand, that

Enchantment and romance in

That shine and twinkle,--a

GORKY'S LATER MANNER
The reviving interest in Russian lit-
erature manifests itself not only in
the demand for books now being pub-
lished but for those of earlier fame.
Gorky is the link that unites the old
school of Russian novelists with the
younger men today. His last two
books of fiction are "The Spy," a novel,
and "Tales of Two Countries," a col-
lection of short stories that represent
his exile in Italy. The former is in
his best early maner and the latter
represents a transition to a method
in which he sacrifices none of his pri-
stine power but discloses an artistry
not evidenced in the same degree in
those of his books which made his
name a household word.
SET THE BRITISH HOUSE IN
ORDER
How to avert another such cata-
clysm is a question which must con-
cern us now; and, so that we shall
know what steps to take to make an-
other such war improbable, we must
learn the whole truth of our lohg con-
nection with international militarism.
We cannot crush Germany, we cannot
destroy Prussian militarism, we cannot
liberalize Russia, we cannot make the
Powers disarm, we cannot affect the
royal and republican despotism of the
Continent, no matter how great a
victory we achieve. And the greatest
victory to British arms will serve no
democratic purpose unless the British
people now firmly make up their mind+
to set their own house in order first.+
That is a matter they can turn their
attention to without waiting for. the
war to end. First thing first.-From
"How Diplomats Make War," by "A
British Statesman." 1
