The British and French realize that they have everything to lose by war and nothing to gain. ‘They know that even a victorious war would wreck their | countries for a generation and bring unforseeable changes in their economic and social systems. Their top-ranking military men know that their fundamental strategic positions are far less favorable in a war with Germany than they were in 1914. Command of the Mediterranean is not assured but would have to be fought fox | British merchant marine, pon ' which Britain would have to depend ' to feed her people and transport raw material, is far less predominant than before the World War. Britain’s prewar position as the work- | shop of the world is sadly diminished: also her position as Europe’s coal mine. British strategists know that Germany and Italy together
have nearly 200 submarines, and
they remember that at the -time Germany’s submarines nearly strangled British food supplies she never had more than 20 at sea at one time. - Furthermore, strategists realize that Germany now possesses important military advantages that she did not have before the World War; a military machine into which a highly centralized Government has directed every energy for five years.

Shortly after he took his master’s degree in chemistry at Indiana University in 1932, Mr. Hunt became acting president under similar circumstances of a junior college in
Missouri. In that case, the trustees
were closing the school instead of reorganizing it. After that work was finished, Mr. Hunt was appointed to the faculty of Pikesville College in Kentucky but had to take a leave of absence because of illness. He was at his Oakland City, Ind., home on this’ leave when Dr. Carl H. Griffey, Central Normal president, asked him to take a position on the faculty here science instructor. A year later in 1938 he became college dean and Saturday, on Dr. Griffey’s resignation, acting president, Dr. Griffey gave no reason for leaving except that “it seemed best for the school.” No arrangements were made for immediate selection of a new permanent president and no indication was given of what sort of a reorganization is in view for the college.
