CAMPUS OPINION
The American student is often ac-
cued of being an intellectual sponge
by his European brother. The same
accusation is often heard from the lips
of the young skeptics (most of whom
we know are middle-aged, however),
i, this country. Is there such a mark-
ed devouring of knowledge administ-
ered in doses, measurable only by cel-
lular capacity? A year in a democra-
tic university will furnish sufficient
evidence to the contrary. The Am-
erican student does think as he learns
and the young skeptics are the victims
'of a super-consciousness aggravated
by their own mental condition.
The sponge brain is in evidence,
however, and markedly so in the stu-
dent reader. He swallows news re-
ports in large quantities without de-
termining whether they are concocted
from the proper ingredients.
During the past two weeks rticles
have appeared in The Daily which
.have excited the opinions of persons
on the campus. In reply to these ar-
ticles, only three intelligent commun-
fcations were received in The Daily
office. Two of these were written by
professors.
The' question has arisen in the past:
"Have students opinions and, if so,
are they capable of expressing them?"
From the experience of campus pub-
lications, including Chimes which was
established as a campus opinion mag-
azine, the answer is no: students do
not have opinions. If they had them
they would express them for an opin-
ion is a form of thought which is most
apt to "out."
The Summer session, thus far, ,has
seen a disappointing lack of regen-'
eration of campus opinion, in that it.
might be expected' from the older stu-
dents. There is no reference made
here to the professional skeptic or
the habitual pessimist, but to the aver-
age student, who takes 'and takes but
never gives an opinion.
PROPOGANDA
Revolutionary movements in every
walk of life received a share of their
impetus from the war, so say the psy-
choanalyists and the socioligists. It
is certain that the war did effect
changes in many institutions, notably
the English language. Words which'
had fallen into disuse wete given new
life and significance. "Atrocity,"1
"Hun," "Patriotism," Expeditionary,,,"
"Hypenated,' and the most popular of
all war words, "Propaganda," receiv-
ed a new lease of life through the Al-
lied press.
The word propaganda came to mean
something akin to the word "plague"
in the eyes of the American public
and when it was preceded by the word
"German" it referred to something es-
pecially abhorrent. The singular point
to this is that while the words of our
erstwhile enemies were banned, this
country was being floo'ded with pro-
paganda favorable to the Allied cause.
Propaganda, then, is a war measure
as much as a machine gun or a bayonet
or a hand grenade and if we are to
forget the war we must forget the
word propaganda, in its war meaning.
The power of propaganda was real-{
ized during the war and its effective-
ness was such that it is still retain-
ed as a soothing balm and as a meas-
ure to effect closer international bonds
between countries. A striking ex-
ample of this "peace propaganda" is'
seen in the English publicity that is
flooding the country at the present
time. Such a type of propaganda is

Paris, July 10.-(By A.P.)-The plan
for the reorganization of France'c
army of 660,000 men was distributed
among the members of parlamtent to-
day by Col. G. Fabry, reporter for
the chamber army commission. It con
templates an organized force based
on-the 'lesson of the Great war, with
serious attention to- develoments in
aviation and war materials. Aviation
and gas, the record says, ,are men-
aces of the future. Germany, by
force of circumstances, must seek her
field of action in the air and therefore
France must be strong there.
"We are preparing the arny for
war, which we are resolved to pre-
vent," continues the report, "but must
be ready to strike the first blow.
France is now superior to other na-
tions in aviation except perhaps bomb-
arding planes, but she cannot rest sat-
isfied an dmust not be content with
machine guns in the air, for perhaps'
the time is near when aerial can-
nons will appear."

6 DIE IN EXPLOSION
Alton, Ill., July 10.-(By A.P.)-
At least half a dozen persons were,
reported killed and a score injured in
an explosion this afternoon at the
plant of the Western Cartridge com-
pany in East Alton. The explosion
occurred in the salvage department.
It was characterized by officials as
one of the most serious accidents in
the history of the company.-
Some of those injured are stated
to be in a critical kondition and ex-
pected to die. The plant has several
hundred men and women employes.-
Those killed are reported to be
women. The actual cause of the ex-
plosion is not yet determined. Coron-
er C. M. Streeter, of Alton, was sum-
moned to take charge of the dead. A
gu-ard was thrown about the plant and

DELAND ASKS THAT COUNTY AIDS

OR COUNTY
REPORT SAYS WORK
MUST BE COOPERATIVE
Suggests That M. A. C. Agricuhural
Dean be Appointed Director of
Extension
Lansing, July 10-(By A.P.)-A re-
port submitted to the state adminis-
trative board today by Secretary of
State Charles J. Deland recommend
ed that county agents hereafter re-
ceive their entire salaries and expens-
es from either state, federal or coun-
ty funds.
It also suggested that the dean o
agriculture of the Michigan Agricul
tural college be given the direction
of the college extension work, of
which the county agents are a part.
In effect the report demanded that
the practice followed in the past of
paying county agents partly with
money advanced by county farm
bureau organizations be abolished.
Mr. Deland was named by the admin-
istrative board to investigate the
manner in which county agents were
paid following the controversy which
recently resulted in the resignation of
Dr. David Friday as president of the
Michigan Agricultural college.
In his report Mr. Deland mentions
that three members of the state board
of agriculture are directors of the
Michigan State Farm bureau.
During the Friday controversy it
was charged by Gov. Groesbeck and
others that the county agents, paid
partially by farm bureau organiza-
tions might have devoted some of'
their time to furthering the interests
of the farm bureau members on the
state board of agriculture, which ac-
cepted Dr. Friday's resignation.
The report devotes considerable
space to pointing out that county
agents appear to be working for the
county farm bureaus rather than for
the state.
The report suggested that the dean
of agriculture of M. A. C. be required
to submit immediately a revised bud-
get of salaries and expenses, and if
there is insufficient money available
to carry on the county agent work as
recommended that further action be
taken by the board to insure county
agents .being paid entirely by the
state, the federal government and the
counties.
Mexico Recognithin Rumor False
Washington, July 10.-(By A.P.)
Officials at the state department to-
day made the statement that they
knew of no basis for rumors current
in Wall street that the American rec-
ognition of Mexico was imminent or
that negotiations in Mexico City had
been successfully concluded.
The last of teh reports from the
commissioners, it' was said, reached
the department more than three days
ago. It was to the general effect
that negotiations were proceeding in
what the American commissioners re-
garded as a favorable manner. The
commissioners gave us no indication
as to when they hoped to be able to
reach a conclusion, and report to
Washington for approval..
