Tale refuses to let Its new Bowl be
used for a circus, permitting no
dramatic performance leas dignified
than Greek plays. The Yale authori
ties are inconsistent. The old Greeks
did not use their out door theaters
for old Egyptian and Babylonian
stuff that nobody but a few high
brows understood; they put on Greek
shows. It happens that the typical
American show Is the circus. Yale Is
guilty of priggish. un-American and
undemocratic conduct.
There is a movement on foot In
Berlin to relieve the food scarcity by
utilizing all available garden plots

on the raising of potatoes. It does not

President Lowell of Harvard unl

' country with a email standing army,
.m with them, armies can be
recruited and drilled in a compara
tively short time. Without them, the
i mention of an efficient defensive
force is almost Impossible."
It la In her great body of thorough
Jy trained officers that Germany to
day finds her chief strength . She has
even been able to lend large numbers
of officers to Austria and Torltey
is from the lack of good officers that
Russia suffers most.
It Is not hard to raise big snnles
for the national defense In a crisis.
And as the present war has proved,
a few months, or In case of extreme
need, only a few weeks, may suffUe
to knock the rank and file Into
rough shape for trench fighting. But
officers are not so easily manufac
tured. A large standing army means mili
tarism, which this country will not
and should not tolerate. But there
Is no militarism or Jingoism in de
veloping, in time of peace, a capable
corps of oficers ready to take com
mand In time of war. It Is along this
line that our military growth should
proceed, giving ua not a larger total
number of men In the service, but a
larger proportion of officers.

New York, March 16. It looks like
the New York police are going to have
difficult time making a lot of peo
ple believe that one of the?r detec
tives did not urge the weak young an
archists to place the bombs In the
fashionable St. Patrick's cathedral.
Commissioner Woods is greatly
stirred by the growing belief In the
charges that the bomb carriers. Ah
arno and Carbons, were "framed-up"
by a police plot. It Is always the alibi
of the professional criminal that he
is a victim of a "frame-up" but the
present ease has some strange angles
so far. No one la attempting to de
fend them of being thoroughly bad.
However, they state that the bomb
plot was atlmulated and accelerated

Joined thelr'forcea, gained their con
fldence and auggested all of tha talk
about killing Rockefeller, Morgan,
Carnegie and others and creating a
reign of terror. They are merely
boys. It Is pointed out, and could be
easily influenced. In any event the
police are being rightly criticised for
taking the extraordinary chance of al
lowing the bomba to be lighted when
so many lives were at stake.
