HEAD OF GREAT INSTITUTION
John’s college. Doctor Maclaurin spent ten months In the United States in
1896 and 1897, studying and visiting educational institutions, and then returned
to England, this time to study law. He was appointed in 1898 professor of
mathematics of the University of New Zealand, became a trustee of the uni
versity and took an active part in the organization of technical education in
the colony. He was dean of the faculty of law in the university for four years.
In 1907 he was invited to Columbia university as professor of mathematical
physics, and a year later was made head of the department of physics. On
November 23, 1908, Doctor Maclaurin was appointed by the Corporation of
Technology to be president of the institute.
SHAFFROTH BOOSTS SUFFRAGE
If the women of America ever
have an opportunity to vote for Sena
tor Shafforth of Colorado, his oppon
ent is likely to be snowed under, for
he has made himself mighty popular
with the equal suffragists. Urging the
adoption of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment in the senate recently, he
delivered some hard blows at the tyr
anny of the male sex.
In the formation of the republic,
he declared, new principles of govern
ment were put forth, one of which was
that all men were created equal in
rights and that man was entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness as inalienable rights.
“While men of our republic ac
knowledge these principles of govern
ment,” he said, “as applicable to all
men, many refuse to recognize them
as applicable to women. They cling
to their power like the monarchs and
the aristocracy clung to theirs. They
invoke divine right of sex as the monarchs asserted divine right of kings
The arrogance with which men assert that women have a sphere to which
they should be confined must be irritating to women of thought and action.
Who gave man the right to determine woman’s sphere without even consult
ing her?”

WHEN DODD DEFIED 4,000
Col. George A. Dodd, the leader of
the cavalry detachment which rode 55
miles in 17 hours and smashed Villa’s
command near Guerrero, gave New
York city, back in 1897, a glimpse of
his determined character. A military
carnival had been arranged and the
government consented to send to it
Troop F of the Third U. S. cavalry,
famous for its startling feats of horse
manship, which was commanded by
Captain Dodd. General Miles ordered
Captain Dodd to proceed to Madison
Square garden with his men from their
quarters at Fort Ethan Allen.
But as soon as public announce
ment was made that Captain Dodd
would be accorded a public reception
on Sunday with a military escort, the
Society for the Observance of the Sab
bath Law protested, holding that the
state law prohibited parades on Sun
day.
General Carroll telegraphed to
Captain Dodd that the police might interfere with his troop’s parading.
“How many policemen are there in town?’’ Captain Dodd wired to General
Carroll.
“Four thousand,” was the telegraphic response.
"We have 62 men in Troop F,” was the answering telegram of Captain
Dodd. “We will report in Madison Square garden on Sunday morning.”
And they did.

the distinction which will be appre

he has financed the construction of the

secured gifts of about nine million dol
lars and at the same time has carried
forward the educational program of
the institute without departure from
its high standards.
President Maclaurin was born in
Edinburgh in 1870. His early boyhood
was spent in New Zealand, whence he
returned to England to complete his
preliminary education. In 1892 he
entered the University of Cambridge,

Writer Paints Sorrowful Picture
of Trip From Lemberg
to Przemysl.
SWEPT THREE TIMES BY WAR
Only Cities Were Spared, and They
Have Recuperated With a Speed
That Would Seem Almost
Impossible.
The Hague.—Lemberg and Przemysl
—how long it seems since our thoughts
were concentrated on those two Ga
lician towns! In reality it is but a
few short months. To ride from Lem
berg to Przemysl today is to ride
through one huge, vast churchyard.
Wherever you look you see graves.
There they lie in groups in the wilder
ness!
On some are transfixed a small gray
cap or German helmet, already rot
ting. On others the rough wooden
crosses are sinking into the ground,
as though they knew the plow would
soon be there. Sometimes you see
huge graves, from which many-colored
regimental flags wave vigorously
above the pitiful landscape. It is al
most as if someone were laughing in
the grave below. The only break in
this terrible churchyard is formed by
some blackened, tumbled ground, once
a village. ,
Such is the country over which the
fury of war has raged three times.
Only cities have been spared, and have
recuperated with a speed which would
seem almost impossible. Lemberg is
as gay and busy as ever; Przemysl is
once more the peaceful provincial
town of peace days. The streets are
clean, the hotels are adequate and the
shop windows are full.
Then and Now.
I stood gazing into the well-filled
windows of a confectioner. And the
thought came to me, “What were these
windows like a year ago?” A year
ago horse-fillet was the best that
riches could buy, and only very occa-■
sionally a countryman crept into the
town to sell a chicken, for which $lO
was gladly given. Winter clothes
were not to be had then, and rich men
did not hesitate to walk the streets
wrapped in some woman’s cast-off
mantle.
In this war forts have fallen like
ninepins. To Przemysl alone has
fallen the honor of a long siege. To
the garrison fell hardships which the
siege cf Paris did not know. In the
dead of winter there was not a window
in the town, and no glass could be had.
The bombs of Russian aviators had
broken them all. Horses were fed on

In the Case Stieber you can listen
for hours to such details as these. Do

/Heroic Deeds of Picturesque
Force Serving in French
Foreign Legion.
SON OF GORKY IS KILLED

Squadron of American Fly
ing Men Being Formed.
London. —Innumerable stories have
been written about the doings of the
French foreign legion, and the heroic
deeds of the picturesque force have
employed the pens of many eminent
writers in fiction. In an article in the
Daily Express H. J. Greenwall pays
tribute to these famous soldiers of
fortune.
“All sorts of famous men have fall
en on the field of honor while fight
ing with the legion,” he says. “Binet
Valmer from the Argentine; the Lux
emburg writer, Sosthene Kurth; a
son of Maxim Gorky; Camillo Ram
irez from Venezuela; a Colombian
poet, Fernandez de Bengoecha; an
other from Ecuador, Rodolfo Seml
nario; the novelist Sanchez Carrero,
all fell for France on the battlefields
of Artois and Champagne.
“The poet Ismail Urdometa was
killed in the Dardanelles while rush
ing a Turkish trench at the point of
the bayonet, and the son of the Rus
sian ambassador at Paris, M. Isvol
sky, was severely wounded while
fighting beside Lieut. Alexis, Com
nene, the great-grandson of the em
peror of Trebizond. Bob Scanlon, the
negro boxer, is with the legion, and
Francois Faber, from Luxemburg, the
public idol who carried off many
prizes as a professional cyclist, fell
in action. So also did Alex Carter,
the famous steeplechase jockey.
Refused German Money.
“Winnie O'Connor, one of the best
jockeys that ever crossed the Atlan
tic, joined after writing a letter to
Walter de Mumm returning all the
money he had earned while riding un
der his colors. O’Connor wrote: ‘I
hate Boche money; your gold burns
my fingers. I want to get rid of it.’
“Fifteen young students from the
Beaux Arts in Paris joined the legion
in a body. Not only all classes but all
। races are blended together in the won

burned night and day, for of wood
there was plenty, but matches were

AMERICAN CARS HARD HIT
English Owners Can’t Import Spare
Parts to Repair Old
Ones.
London.—A correspondent who is
thoroughly conversant with the motor
car business sends an interesting com
munication to the Manchester Guard
ian with reference to the new reg
ulation prohibiting the importation
either of motor cars or spare parts.
The regulation affects in practice
only American cars and repair parts.
Practically no new cars are to be
bought at the present time except
American cars, and as the standard
ized self-starting American cars are
the simplest for an amateur to work a
doctor or a commercial traveler who
wants a car naturally prefers in these
times to buy an American machine. It
seems remarkable that not even a lim
ited import is permitted.
There are thousands of American
cars in use in thl^ country by doctors
and professional men, commercial trav
elers, military officers and others with
a good reason for having a car. Ap
parently, under the new regulation, aS
soon as these cars need repair they
will have to be laid up, since spare
parts cannot be imported, and it is
quite impossible to get spare parts
manufactured in this country at the
present time.

Instead each officer and "enlisted”
woman will wear a snug little khaki
Norfolk jacket, with a wide khaki
skirt fully six inches from the ground,
and shoes which will stand washing.
Topping it all will be a round khaki
hat, something like sailors wear, and
ribbons on it will designate rank.
Each woman will have two skirts.

Italy went to war the Italians were
transferred to their own army, but
previously they fought brilliantly, and
two grandsons of Garibaldi lost their
lives in France.
"The nucleus of the Second regi
ment was formed on the evening of
July 31, 1914, in a Parisian case. Some
young Italians issued an appeal, and
as a result about three thousand Eng
lish, Belgians, Italians and Slavs at
tended the meeting to consider how
they could best aid the country of
their adoption.
“In the early hours of the first day
of August I was passing along the
Boulevard Haussmann and saw thou
sands of foreigners waiting in a line
that extended for the greater part of
a mile.
“The British residents in Paris tried
to form a regiment of their own, and
as a result of the first meeting, held
at the Imperial club, about 500 men
offered themselves for enrollment.
The authorities, however, were unable
to accept the offer of a separate regi
ment, and the same reply was given
to the corps of American volunteers,
so it was decided that the British and
American volunteers should be draft
ed into the foreign legion.
35,400 in the Legion.
“About fcur hundred of them began
drill at once in the exhibition grounds
of the Magic City. Every new recruit
of the legion had to pass an extremely
severe medical examination, which
was held beneath the shadow of Na
poleon's tomb, and about 20 per cent
were rejected. I believe the actual
number accepted was 35,400.
“After the first few months all the
British members were transferred to
English regiments, but not before they
had been in several engagements and
suffered losses.
“Most of the American members pe
titioned to join the Flying corps, and
France has so many American flying
men now that a squadron of Ameri
cans is ’being formed. Dutchmen,
Swedes, Danes and Americans, who
could legitimately have remained look
ers on, have cheerfully laid down
their lives on the battlefields of
France.
“The pay of the men of the legion
is the same as that of the other sol
diers of France —five sous per day
and an allowance of tobacco and wine
—so there is no question of the mer
cenary spirit having incited men who
have thrown up good positions to fight
for France.”
