"Is there a man here tonight who doubts that
President Wilson's note to Germany would receive more attention and more weight if it was
known that our navy was in readiness and our 'free people' in the language of Washington, 'dis
ciplined and trained to arms r
Henry L. Stimson, formerly secretary of war, propounded this question at Carnegie hall in the course of a stirring address to the mass meeting called by the National Security League as a part of the two-day Peace and Preparation Conference. "The main danger of war today lies in the
fact that we have so acted in the past as to give good reason for believing that we do not really mean to protect our rights. The surest way to get into a fight is to use strong language and stand with one's hands in his pockets.
"The fault does not lie with our army or our navy, with our soldiers or our sailors, but with us and our representatives in congress. Congress should be in session today making up for what it failed to do last winter. Under no other circumstances will our words or our protests be taken seriously. Every nerve should be strained and no expense spared to put the navy our first line of defense into the condition into which our experts unanimously tell us it should be; to supply to that vital arm of our country the many lessons now abundantly taught us by the present war. Every regiment of our regular army should be raised at once to its full strength, as Mr. Garrison urged last November. The same course should be taken in reference to the regiments of the National Guard, our only other force of even partially trained soldiers. "The shortages in field guns, in rifles, in ammunition and in all other necessary material
should be brought up, as soon as possible, to the "moderate minimum suggested by our military
advisers. Then, there remains the most vital of all shortages, the shortage in trained men fit to
be officers of our citizens army the shortage
which is now crippling the efforts of England; which is one of the causes which has permitted Russia to be hurled back from the Carpathians;
the shortage which in America transcends and
exceeds all others."

The pronounced pro-Germanism of the Prince Christian
Prince and Princess entering into a deed of separation. The Prince, since the outbreak of the war has openly expressed his sympathies in public and private with his native country and his son, Prince Albert, of course, is fighting on the German side. The Princess, who is a daughter of Queen Victoria, and whose sympathies are entirely with England, has found her position almost intolerable for t-ome time past owing to the pro-Germanism of the Prince. Her royal highness was on the original committee chosen by Queen Mary in connection with the management of Queen Mary's fund, but it was intimated to Queen Mary that every other lady asked to serve on it would resign if the Princess remained on it, and her royal highness therefore retired.

should say a word in his behalf, be
ginning by saying that neither he nor my father, Prof. D. W. Dennis, who are now attending to their college duties, at the commencement exercises, have
the slightest idea that I am going to
make any statement at all. "I note that your anonymous infor mant tells you that the alumni meet
ing was overwhelmingly pro Russell;
that a resolution expressing apprecia
tion of Prof. Russell was adopted with
great enthusiasm' and that when he arose with the class of '94, he was the recipient of a 'remarkable ovation.'
These statements seems to me somewhat highly colored. It was generally
understood, and appeared in the pa
pers, that certain of Prof. Russell's supporters had threatened to Introduce resolutions censuring Pres. Kelly and the administration of the college at the annual meeting of the alumni. In response to this, it was indicated privately that any such resolutions would, of course, be most vigorously opposed but that everyone would be most willing to have suitable resolutions passed appreciative of Prof. Russell on his leave-taking. The resolutions, as actually drawn up, were so worded that while many judicious persons wished them differently phrased for everybody's sake, nevertheless it would have seemed ungracious to discuss or
amend them and so they were let go
through in absolute and complete silence, not one man venturing to say a word in their behalf except a few perfunctory words by its mover, and comparatively few people voting at all. Several of those who did vote, voted in
a very loud tone of voice and this may
have misled your informant. Regrets Incident. "It is most unfortunate and regrettable that anyone not appreciating the forbearance shown by those who suffered, these, resolutions, worded as they were, to pass in silence rather than to take the ungracious attitude of opposing them and introducing a marring note Into the commencement festivities, should seek to make capital out of the circumstance. It is likewise regrettable that it should be sought to make capital out of the neutral and
cordial expressions of good will to Prof. Russell at his parting at the Alumni banquet. Prof. Russell was leaving the college after 25 years connection with the institution, after rendering services of which (barring very recent events) we are all justly proud. It would seem that in the eyes of your informant when the alumni of all shades of opinion extended to him the ordinary courtesies of life, they were making an attack upon President Kelly. What does your informant expect? Does he expect others to show his own bad manners? "The statement so fa: as it concerns Mr. Barrett's candidacy, is even worse. The facts in regard to that candidacy are briefly these: It was discussed by a few of Mr. Barrett's personal friends long before there was even any breath of any Russell-Kelly controversy. Of those who took any active interest in this candidacy at this early time, I am, so far as I know, the only person who even by the standards which certain of Prof. Russell's supporters seem to have adopted, has now become entitled to be called a pro-Kelly man.
Needless to say, in favoring Mr. Barrett's candidacy, we were not taking sides with respect to a controversy which had not arisen and which we knew absolutely nothing about. Mr. Barrett was nominated at a meeting in New York at which I was not present. It was absolutely non-partisan in character and it is safe to say that as then advised most of the persons there present sympathized with Prof. Russell. Mr. Barrett had been a friend of both Prof. Russell and President Kelly for years and had been for several
years one of the leading contributors to a fund to enable the college to increase Prof. Russell's salary so as to retain him at Earlham. "Nevertheless, what was our astonishment to find after the nominations had been made and just before the ballot went out, that not only had certain of Prof. Russell's supporters been
working in an organized way for three
candidates which combination one of them frankly dubbed in writing to me
the 'Russell ticket,' but that they
were actively opposing Mr. Barrett on
the ground that he was a Kelly candidate. A few of Mr. Barrett's friends, who had been interested In the matter
of his candidacy from the beginning.
then determined that something must be done to keep him from being butch
ered to make a Russell holiday, and
we accordingly sent out a circular letter to all the Alumni briefly stating
Mr. Barrett's qualifications as we understood them for the office of Alumni trustee. We signed our names to our letters.
Non-Partisan Document. "This was an absolutely non-parti
san document and was also signed by several Alumni of pro-Russell sympathies. Nevertheless the attacks by
certain of Prof. Russell's friends on
Mr. Barrett's candidacy continued and
we were compelled again and again
to explain that he was not a pro-Kelly
or pro-Russell candidate. .1 nnauy
asked Mr. Barretffor a statement of
his position, which he gave me and which was sent out to a considerable
number of people, among them to Prof. Russell.
"'My election as one of the Alumni trustees of Earlham cannot be urged as one representative of any faction. If I am to be known as the candidate of any group taking a partisan interest in the present faculty disturbances I will not be known as a candidate at all. I insist that the ultimate good of Earlham college is the only issue in the coming election. And if I cannot be elected on this platform, I will not be elected. I have not pledged myself to any person or group of persons and will not make such a pledge. If elected a trustee, I will do all I can for the college. If any other Earlham Alumnus can do more, I urge my friends to vote for him as trustee. Let's keep our college in view, and not allow the real issue to be clouded by personalities. 'R. WARREN BARRETT. Barrett for Earlham. "Some of Mr. Barrett's friends went to the Indianapolis meeting to which your anonymous informant refers and explained his position with absolute frankness and accuracy as a pro-Earl-ham candidate. No man in the Indianapolis meeting was misled into thinking that Mr. Barrett was either pro-Kelly or pro-Russell and the statement which I have given above was in
( the hands of some of those at the i meeting and I suppose it was read.
All this talk about what would have happened if somebody else had received the support of the Indianapolis meeting is very amusing. Let me ask your informant what would have happened if it had been possible for Mr. Barrett's position to be similarly understood by the Richmond Alumni and by other Alumni all over the country who are looking for a fair, non-partisan candidate and who were driven away from him by the industriously circulated reports that he was pro-Kelly. Reiterates Support.
"Now that he has been elected in spite of unfair newspaper attacks and personal work, engineered by .certain of Prof. Russell's supporters, for one. of them to turn around and claim him as a pro-Russell candidate requires more than the usual allotment of effrontery. Let me say once more without pretending of course to the slightest authority to speak for Mr. Barrett, now that the votes are all in, that Mr. Barrett as a candidate or trustee is pro-Earlham and will stand as trustee on the platform on which he ran as a candidate and that his attitude will not be swayed by the
fact that he has been subjected to misrepresentations and attack from any quarter. "And while we are on this business of claiming trustees, permit me to point out that Mr. Allen Mills of Chicago, one of the men for whom members of the Alumni were urged to vote, by the anonymous Russell circular signed "Members Alumni . association, Richmond, Indian, (strange how some people do cling to annonimity), while the campaign was still on, gave assurances that he did not authorize the use of his name against the administration of the college and that he would come to his duties with a fair and open mind. Any fair minded friend of President Kelly was justified
in voting for him on this statement, if he believed it. I know one who did believe him and voted for him. Make no mistake. I am not claiming Mr. Mills as a Kelly trustee. I am claiming him on his own statement, which I unhesitatingly accept, as a fair and open minded man. "All President Kelly asks is that
the problems of the college be solvd
by fair men and women in the ruturg
as In the past.'
"I am glad to say that I think til
wholly improper attempt to eie Alumni trustee not on their merits
exercise their best judgment, but a
automatons to do the bidding or ra
tion has failed.
"I am very sory that I have thougl it my duty to make this statemec
I was devoutly thankful when tt
Alumni meeting passed off yesterdq
In peace, but it is perfectly evldes
that Prof. Russell is right on at lea
one point, viz: 'It is useless to cij
peace when there is no peace.' Sllenj has ceased to be a virtue. The tiff, has come to tie President Kelly's i sailants up to their mis statement; The time has come for those who b lieve in President Kelly to do the part to see to it that Earlham cc lege is not deprived of the servlc of an honest man and an able ar efficient president by a campaign misrepresentation and hysteria. , "WILLIAM C. DENNIS."

A Message to Thin, Weak, Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good, nourishing food." The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin per
son's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of
j which it is being deprived by tne failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh
i Duuaing elements ana to stop tne leait-
age of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Leo H. Fine, Richmond, Ind., and other
j good druggists have Sargol, or can
get n rrom tneir wnoiesaier, and win iefund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. Caution: While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles, it should not be taken unless you are willing to gain ten pounds or more, for it is a wonderful flesh-builder Leo.
