the Week.
The Nebraska School of Agriculture lo
cated at Curtis, Is beginning Its second
year of work with an enrollment for
the flrat week of a few more than 100.
It Is expected that there will be a large
Increase over last year's attendance. It Is
not, by any means, a school in
tended for boys alone. Almost as many
gnis as boys have been registered. New
towns and counties are represented on
the register, showing that the Influence
of the school has spread over a much
aider territory.
A big squad of men are being
put through testing fire on the gridiron
plate, coached by Prof. Wilkinson of the
department of mathematics, who came
here this year from the Norfolk High
school. Competition is , brisk for places
on the regular tesm for It Is a ques
tion of the "survival of the fittest."
tcr back of the Ixmne Tincre aim brums
with him valuable experience as aid -to
his work of putting together a winning
squad, .
Prof. n. Iji Moore, who has taken
charge of the department of farm me
chanics, has organised his department
for work on broader lines this year. He
starts his work this year with a finished
building. Mr. Moore comes from the de
partment of farm mechanics at the state
farm, Lincoln, and has had several
years' experience In his line of work.
Miss Irene Dalton of the domestic sci
ence department of the Grand Island
High school lost year, has charge of the
classes In cooking and Miss Orace Rich
ards, formerly of the lncoln station,, is
instructor in sewing. English and lan
guage are taught by Miss Jane Beams,
who Is also adviser to girls. Both Miss
Richards and Miss Beams were connected
with the school last yeear.
The work In agriculture is under the
direction of Prcf. Ellis Rail, who Is also
teaching his second year here. Dairy
laboratory Is conducted by Lee Thomp
son, who has charge of the dairy.
Experimental work In agriculture has
been carried on this year at the sugges
tion of the United States Ivpartment of
Agriculture. Results obtained from ex
periments In forage crops this last season
have been very gratifying. It has been
proven that feterlta and . dwarf hegtra
do bettor in a region of this sort than
any others of eleven varieties of Kaffirs
and sorghums that were experimented
with this year. Sudan grass has shown
itself to be good forage and is a good
forage and is a good substitute for hay
and carbo-hydrate forage for both cattle
and horses. This region produces two
tons per acre. Horses prefer it to the
best prairie hay, and Its food value will
likely make It a most Important forage
crop for western Nebraska. Fall seeding
In plats for crop rotation series work has
been dono at different times during the
last month. Hairy sand vetch Is being'
experimented with as a legume that is
strongly urged In semi-arid countries as
a substitute for alfalfa.

good work last year has been reorganised
and enlarged for another year's work by
Prof. Hodapp, who also has charge of the

An Interesting criterion on the effect of
the European war on our universities la
afforded In a statement given out yes
terday from tho chemistry ilrpHitment ai
Columbia university. Actordlng to that
department, a list of students, who, prior
to the war had planned to go to Uctmanv
to study, are now seeking Informntlon ss
to the courses afforded at homo, and It
Is estimated that when the university
opens this wek the registration at Co
lumbia In all of Us departments will he
nuitcrlally Increased thvouch the students
wbo cannot pursue their studies abroad.
One of the courses which Is especially
attracting those who bad contemplated a
winter at the German Institutions Is that
afforded In Industrial chemistry. The ren
son for this furnishes another Illustration
of how much Germany Is sacrltlclng,
educationally as well as economic alb , in
thn present war. It stood foremost In
the production of chemical Industries snd
Its universities offered courses In In
dustrial chemistry which were the model
of the world.
Columbia has come forearmed to the
front In this crisis, and while business In
terests are beginning to boom the chemi
cal Industries at home with Germany
out of competition, the university has
announced courses patterned after those
In Germany to fit the rhemlcal engineers
who will now be In demand. A few years
ago a group of Columbia professors made
an exhaustive personal Inspection of the
German courses In Industrial chemistry,
and when they returned Columbia placed
Its course on a basis similar to the Tech
nlschn hochschulen In Germany. The
laboratorlea nre probahly the best equip,
ped In this country, and are bound to
draw many of those students who have
had to abandon study In Germany.

KAISER DID NOT WANT WAR
Neither Are Germans a Menace,
Declares F. L Haller.
SPEAKER DEFENDS TEUTONS
In Aildreaslna Meeting; at First Con.
rrgntlnnal hnrrh lie Staunchly
I aihnlda the Prnsslan
Altitude.
Kaiser Wuiirlm did not desire war; the
peaceable population of Germany has no
quarrel with the French nor with Eng
land; Germany Is not the great Euro
pean menace, but despotic Russia's vic
tories orr the Teutons is what gives
ground for fesr. So arugued F. I Haller
to an audience Ht the First Congrega
tional church yesterday morning. Ho
staunchly defended Germany and the al
tlt i do of the German emperor.
Mr. Mailer snld
"Do you Imagine for a moment that thn
sympathy of the. world would le with
lliuwiii If this were a fight between Ger
many and Russia and no other nations?
Would the world cry out that Russia Is
attempting to safeguard lltiertles, uphold
freedom und extend beneficent govern
'nent to mankind It Is to laugh.
"As far as France Is concerned the Oer
mana have no quarrel with Its people.
The provinces of Alsace and Iorralne
were held by thn Germans for a thous
and years and they export to retain
them. France Is a negligible quantity.
Germany would be content to he friends
with It and allow It to keep out of this
war.
Peace I.ovlna; People,
"The Germans are a peace loving peo
ple. They did not ciesiro this war. The
sword was thrust In the emperor's hand.
After twenty-seven years of peace the
kaieer must be credited with too much
Intelligence to crave war. He knew.
If hn Is a man of Intelligence, that his
greatest glory would be to hold the might
et means to war and yet keep peace.
"In those twenty-seven years during
which the war lord maintained peace,
he bore with Insults and sneers and kept
peace. It Is absurd to presume that he
would go In search of war.
"The Germane are a kind people. They
are well ruled. It Is unhellevable that
they committed the atrocities they are
said to have committed. These exagger
ations have been thoroughly refuted.
They were started to prejudice America
against the Germans and they are with
out foundation in truth.
"Certainly there arc men In every com
munity who commit horrors In times of
calamity. They were In San Francisco
and many robbers were shot there for
cutting the rings from the fingers of dead
women. They appeared In Omaha fol
lowing the tornado. They are In the
communities ravaged by war and they
go out on tho battlefields to rob the dead.
But these things are not done by the
well disciplined and highly civilised peo
ple of Germany generally.
Germany bus fought Its way to the
front of civilisation. Its scientists are
the greatest ot the world. It has been .'
necessary. It seems, to only mention to
tha German scientists that a new gas, for
example, was needed, and they made it.
They are the expert commercial chemists
of the world."
Several times during his speech Mr.
Haller was Interrupted by his audience
and many questions were asked him. In
all things he championed Germany and
things German.
"If Germany and Russia alone were
fighting, Mr. Kipling would polish up lis
poem about the bear that walks like a
man and the English would all cheer."
