MANY AGRICULTURISTS TAKEN
"The Government's campaign for large
numbers' of airrlcultural vvorkeis took many
from these colleges," said Doctor Capen.
"The subsequent uncertainty ns to the
liability of these men for military service
has operated to prevent their return. In
: fact, the committee la of the opinion that
a serious and perhaps Irreparable damage
wilt l) done to the pioductlve forces of the
country u ulcus new and definite rulings are
secured, determining the statu- of agricul

Thirty per cent of the three upper classes
in thirty engineering schools ate now In
the active service of the nation, he showed,
going on to say that the committee had
thorcfore failed In one of Its major en
deavors, that Is, to obtain a ruling allow
ing students In all technical branches to
finish their courses before being called upon
for military service.
"The necesrlty Is greatest In engineering
and agricultural lines," said he "The
country Is Just beginning to feci the pres
sure In both these lines."
While military tialnlng courses bad been
recommended for nearly ctery educational In
stitution In the cruntry. he said, two factors
are present to check their universal adop
tion the rhortagc of officers of the regu
lar army ns liiHlruetors and the shortage
of military equipment However, the com
mittee reommends such training as essen
tial to capitalise the enthusiasm of cc liege
men. Numerous engineering schools, ho
said, had Instituted courses In military map
making, military survcvlns. brldge-bulldlng.

On the lde of humanitarian training.
Doctor I'apen quoted the opinion of Dart
mouth College as to the wa In which col
leges might aid the government "Col
leges will perform Incidental special serv

quoted, "but. as distinguished from the
universities, the colleges should place
emphasis upon their duty of sticking to the
Job of turning out educated men For If
the rpreadlng war Is proving the need of
an j thing In the life of mankind. It Is the
need of well-founded, sane and geneious
thinking even iWire than for technical pro

WAR TRAINING FOR WOMEN
Special wartime training for women stu
dents was a feature of the report presented
by Dr Frederick V Ferrj , president of
Hamilton College, secretar.v of the college
and unlversltv division of the committee of
engineering and education The installation
of courses In homo economics, with labora
tory work In cooking and preserving foods.
Dewing, economical housekeeping. Ited Cross
work and home nursing, clerical work
which will enab.e men to be released for
farm service, and courses In practical
gardening which will enable the student
to teach others, were among those advo
cated by the committee and already put
Into operation In many Instances
Doctor Ferry rtferted to the commit
tee'3 work in obtaining from President Wil
son the recommendation that all schools
continue as far ns possible their normal
activities during the war and outlined the
various additions to their curricula which
the committee has recommended
"The card-Indexing" of the nature and
amount of technical training possessed by
each of the 430.000 men alrcndj In the
draft cantonments, a gigantic task accom
plished by the War Department along lines
suggested by the engineering committee,
was described by Dr F I, Bishop, dean
of the I'nlversitj of Pittsburgh The com
mlttee making a study of the technical
needs of the army, in co-operation with the
General Staff, found that an armv of 1.250 -000

President Wilson is to he arked to stop
the rush of college students to the battle

the outlook toward the gieat constructive
period that must follow the war. when the
world tries to get on Its feet again, is dis
astrous, and strong measures must be tak

Committee on Engineering of the Council
of National Defense. Dr Ferry Is one of
the distinguished guests at the conference
of college presidents being held at Drexel
Institute In the celebration of it? 25th
birthday
The President," Dr Ferry said, "will
be asked ery soon to issue an executive
order to put a stop to the wholesale run
ning oft of college students to the front,
such an order as was issued to keep the
students In the medical colleges home
"This Is absolutely Imperative The
greatest constructive penod In the world
will follow tnts war The demand for
trained men In all lines financial, econom
ical, social and Industrial will be ten times
greater than it has ever been before. Where
will the trained men come from, if the
colleges are depleted? Canada already re
alizes the disastrous situation "
"Particularly." Dr Ferry continued. "Is
It necessary for young men to continue their
engineering and agricultural courses I am
' told that the casualties to the engineers at
the front have been greater than In any
other branch Whole countries after this
war will have to be rebuilt. If all the
engineers are used up, how will the prob
lem be solved? Once a man is off at the
front It Is difficult to recall him. The young
students phould be prevented from going
"But, of course, i do not mean to say
that college men as a class should be ex
empt. We do not ark a favor. We merely
point out a necessity It Is extremely grat
ifying to us that the college boys have
1 shown the fine spirit of patriotism which
makes Jills alarm necessary. We should
Jjate to see the. boys hang back, but be
cause they have volunteered so splendidly
does not mean that their wholesale service
phould be accepted."
Speaking for the great Northwest. Dr
Henry Suzzallo, president of the University
of Washington, told me that In two months,
between April 1 and June 1, 31 per cent of
the men of that Institution had left for
war duty
"That." Doctor Suzzallo declared, "an
swers the question of whether or not the
pacific coast Is lukewarm In Its patriotism."
The University pf Washington has an en

Rome bunted and his name has been
handed down to infamy because of his
callous Indifference to the suffering? of his
people, whose safety he was sworn to pio
tect Against this charge he, too, pleaded
a 'frame-up ' He alleged that the Christians
In Home had themselves purposely set the
rlty on Are Just at the time when he and
Sporus were taking their music lesson, in
order to 'frame' him In public odium The
Christians knew, he f.ald, that the noise of
his fiddle would drown the cries of the
suffering people so that he could not hear
them Had this not been so and had he
known of the disaster, he tald lie would
have taken a special chariot expiess and
would have driven to the scene of the con
flagration History lias lefused to accept
Nero's plea of a 'frame-up' and he stands
condemned through the nges.
"There is recorded in the Memorabilia of
a Greek annalist the account of a famous
poison case. A portion of a city built on
the Aegean Sea formed at one end a
peninsula where the wateis washed up for
a space on either side. On the low flats
certain selfish nnd reckless tradesmen had
erected uovious establishments wherein
they herded swine and clucks and goats
brought down from the hills above the city.
The effluvia thus generated became an of
fense to the other residents on the peninsula
and ns a result an angry feeling was
caused One day a citizen visited a
chemist's shop and bought some poison,
alleging that he desired it to kill rats and
straving pests from the styes maintained
on the narrow neck of land. He got the
poison and administered It to a rival In
business whom he hated and desired to do
avva with When apprehended and
brought befoie a Maglstiate charged with
the murder, his defense was that the whole
thing was a 'frame-up' and that the widow
and orphan of the dead man had conspired
with the chemlbt to sell him the poison and
had caused the tats to Infest Ills cellars,
otherwise the remnants of the deadly drug
would not have been found hidden In the
lining of his mantle. The defense failed
and Justice was done to the malefactor to
the great joy of the enraged citizens

"FriAME-UrS" OF H1STOUY
"Ancient history abounds with similar
Instances of the effort to use the plea of
frame-up' as a defense to crime I,et me
pass over there, however, and come down
to more modern Illustrations. When John
Wilkes Booth shot and killed President Lin
coln, the southern leaders charged that they
weie the victims of a 'frame-up.' They said
that the Abolitionists nnd Republicans of
tho North had Induced President Lincoln to
go to the theatre on a night when they
knew a dissolute nnd fnnatlcal southern
actor would be back of the stage, well
knowing also that his disordered brain
would Impel him to tho assassination when
he saw the great President calmly sitting In
the box near the stage, nnd that by -this
dastardly contrivance they sought to arouse
the hate of the people of the North against
the Domociatlc pnrty nnd the southern
slaveholder in resentment against tho foul
murder. The plea failed.
When McKlnley was shot, at Buffalo,
by the crazed anaichlst Czolgosz. the So
cialists of tho count!. v chaieed that It was
a 'frame-up' by the capitalistic class and
the Republican party, In order to bring the
Socialists and their growing power Into
dread and Ignominy The pica failed and
Czolgosz was executed.
"The most recent and conspicuous Instance
of the uss of the 'frame-up' ns a defense
against crime Is that of the German Kaiser
Again and again has he charged that 'the
sword was thrust Into his hands' by the
