If New York Were Pari We Would Know How War igpwv-ji njiBlIiii policies and the reorganization of business and institutions will open greater opportunities to college trained folk than have ever before been known. Those who are ready will be given the first opportunities, and readiness of the highest quality will be predicted upon loyalty to the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, for the assurance of permanent results lies in those whose dependable characters come from passive strength. "The present crisis must be passed successfully, though, before the larger openings afforded by readjustment and reorganization will be presented to you. We recur inevitably, therefore, to the thought of war. Every one of us, at this time, has an obligation for special service resting upon him.

We can think of nothing else. Some of us must express our patriotism on the farm; others in laboratory and factory, or in home or hospital, but all must do our The purpose of this war is something vastly more important than the overthrow of a reigning house beyond the seas. We declare we have engaged in a contest to establish universal democracy and we have, but that alone would hardly constitute sufficient excuse for the sacri-clal offering we purpose to make time and money and life. There a deeper ultimate motive than which seeks dethronement of monarchy and the enforcement of our peculiar ideals of government upon unwilling people in other countries. The transcendant issue of this war is human brotherhood.

That is its inspiration to me. Ia America thus far individualism with its consequent self-sufficiency and self-complacency has gone to the limit of its possibilities. We are longing to be socialized and If this sanguinary conflict answers that longing and, through us, enables tbe establishment of a genuine world wide neighborhood with all artificial boundaries of national selfishness blotted out it will be worth all it may cost in blood and treasure. Advice to 8tudent-8oldiers. "There are those in this class who already wear the soldier uniform of our country.

It is a badge of high honor and yet, let me remind you. if you would make it mean all It should mean It must stand for the firm strength of passive character rather than for the bluster of spectacular action. I would have you catch inspiration from the deathless spirit of a sol dier scholar who went out as an alumnus of this Institution in the sixties tc fight for the preservation of the Union and then modestly returned, with consciousness of patriotic duty performed, to exert the influence of his fine scholarship and Gibraltar-like character during 40 years as a faithful teacher of youth in the University of Vermont. Tomorrow we shall unveil a window in honor of the memory of this soldier professor. The passive goodness quietly maintained by John Ellsworth Goodrich was the mainspring of action that always availed.

You may not return as he did- This baccalaureate service is different from any that seniors of other years in the University of Vermont have ever experienced. I would not be true to you, to our country and the human race if in this portentous hour, I did not atk you to face the awful possibilities of tbe era in which you go forth from Aim Mater with its commission of patriotic responsibility. This somber day is tbe most solemnly sacred one the world has ever known. Your own commencement may be the last one you will ever attend. I say this not to harrow your feelings or to cause you and your relatives unnecessary ap-prehension.

Robert Smilie, president of tbe Miners' Federation of. Great Britain, often described as the most powerful labor leader In the United Kingdom, attracted attention to himself recently by making a vio lent speech at Newcastle in which he attacked the food situation in this country. The Miners Federation is the largest single trade union In the country, with a membership of more than a million men. Smilie attacked the men who, he said, are holding back foodstuffs and making profits out of the poor. The Russian revolution, he said, took place owing to shortage of food, and he did not believe that the people of this country would see their children starve while there was food In the country.

Smilie lives at Larkhall. in Scotland. He was mining in Lanarkshire as a boy 40 years ago, and has lived all his life in Scotland. In 1886 he was appointed secretary to one of the branches of the Scottish Miners union, and became its president in 1894, passing on to the presidency of the larger body in 1912. He was the real leader of the great coal strike in 1911-12.
