MAJOR WIENER AS A HUMORIST
We ilo not believe that anybody regards with
any degree of seriousness the situation which con
fronts the Harvard University Corporation whose
members will meet on Monday to a t on the resig
nation of Professor Hugo Muensterberg as a mem
ber of the Harvard faculty. The eminent German
teacher submitted iris resignation following the
publication of a story that Colonel Clarence Wiener
will deprive Harvard of $10,000,000 that lie in
tended to will to the university, it' the professor's
connection with the Cambridge scat >»f learning is
not severed. Not that we do not believe the loss
of Professor Muensterberg would be a serious one
to Harvard, but the Harvard Corporation, if it
treats the situation the way it deserves will not
l'»se the services of the distinguished educator from
the realm of the Kaiser.
It is doubtful, indeed, whether the professor him
self views the situation in any other than a jocular
way. It is true his resignation, in formal shape, is
in the hands of the Harvard authorities and they
'• an accept it i? they see tit. but if they do accept it
they will, to say the least, display a lack of sense
of humor that is not expected of them. The pro
fessor s course iu resigning a very dignified
and proper one for him to pursue: in fact it was the
only one open to him, but it would be a very undig
nified and very improper thing for the Corporation
to accept his resignation in the present circum
stances.
Even if it were possible to construe seriously the
threat attributed to Major Wiener to withhold
$10,000,000 he had intended to srive to Harvard for
the reason that he believes Professor Muensterberg
has made harmful pro-German utterances to the
members o r classes in the university, the Harvard
< orporation could not with dignity and propriety
dismiss the German professor in consideration of
$10,000,000 or any other amount of money.
He do not belie\e that Professor Muensterberg
has said anything to his classes of a nature that
would warrant However, whatever
his pro-German utterances may have been, with
due allowance made by his classes for the fact that
he is German in all his sympathies, we do not be
lieve he has been so indiscreet as to say anything
intentionally that could actually be construed as
misleading his hearers with.regard to the facts of
the European war; but even if he has made any
utterances that might warrant his dismissal it
would be the height of impropriety to dismiss him
for the sake of saving 10 cents or $10,000,000 for
Harvard University.
As a matter of fact Major Wiener's alleged
threat must be regarded solely in the light of a
joke,—perhaps not very well-timed.—but at the
same time as a joke. The joke is made the more
apparent by statements coming from the major's
friends and relatives to the effect that the major
never had $10,000,000 and is never likely to have
anything like that amount of money, even if he
inherits all the possessions of all of his not-very
wealthv kinsmen, including those as far distant as
second cousins, three or four times removed.
Major Wiener has made a name for himself as
a not-very-discreet humorist, but beyond that the
incident is closed.—or it will be closed when thft
Harvard Corporation meets next week and decides
not to accept the professor's resignation.
BELGIUM'S CALL FOR HELP!
The people of Belgium, through their consul gen
eral in Philadelphia, are appealing to the people
HARRISBUBG STAR-rNDKPEXPEXT, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1914.
of Harrisburg and the whole of the l T nited States,
for help in this time of their dire distress. Through
no fault of their own they have been plunged into I
a war that was not of their seeking—a war that is
attended with worse horrors than ever the world
has seen before, and upon these Belgians has the
worst of the horror fallen.
A peaeeable. God-fearing nation, —not courting
war, not even prepared for it as preparations were
made by other nations. —they suddenly found their,
country overrun by opposing armies and their cities,
towns, villages and farms turned into battle
grounds. Of the terrible effects on the people of
Belgium the civilized world will never know the
entire story. What little has been told is enough
to shock all Christendom.
The sword and the gun and the torch have been
employed to lay waste to a beautiful country and
slay its people. Those who remain are in distress.:
Their story need not be detailed now. Details will i
come afterward. What is needed now is help. j
With one accord these poor people look toward]
the I'nited States and hold up their hands in a piti
ful plea for aid. Nowhere else can they sro for
assistance. All Europe is involved, either directly
or indirectly, and the Belgians cannot look to any
country over the sea to aid them.
Naturally they turn to this land of peace and
plenty and call upon our people to give them at
least a moiety of that which we possess in such
Treat abundance.
Help now! Remember that "he who gives quickly
gives twice!" Send contributions to Charles C.!
Harrison. Jr.. & Co., Lafayette Building, Philadel
phia. treasurer of the Belgian Relief Fund for Des
titute Non-combatants," who will forward the
money direct to the Belgian Minister in Washing
ton !
Do it now, for quick relief is sadly needed !
In a tittle more than two weeks the spell-binder will be
hunting the "throat-ease."
The Beston ball player who got $40,000 for h-.s seasou's
work is a subject of eux v for the "captains of industry."
It is a sign of progress to learu of the present genera

Twenty-live years ago to-day repre

Conference. It was world-wide, some '
of its members coming from such dis

Hawaii. The purpose was voiced by
Secretary of State Blaine, who said:
"The spoken language* of the world
will continue to be many, but neces- j
sity commands that the unspoken lang
uages of the sea shall be one." In
those days the "Languages of the'
Sea" were indeed many. Some of the
rules were heritages of centuries back,
and 111 conflict with the rules of other
nations.
Mapped the Ocean's Currents
One of the first steps toward mak
ing ocdau travel safe was taken by the
American Commander Maury, who
mapped the currents of the se4. Even
before the Civil war he advocated that
Vansatiantie ships would follow cer
tain lanes to avoid icebergs and dan

these suggestions, and during the eleven j
