GERMANS, SlVS CLARK
i Professor of History Thinks French
and English Reserve Armies Will
. Decide Outcome in Spring
The power of England is only be
ginning to assert itself in the pres
ent European war; her large armies
are waiting for spring, and the real
strength of her allies is still in re
serve, according to Dr. Robert C.
Clark, Professor of History.
^ “The western campaign seems to
be at a standstill, with Germany dis
tinctly on the offensive. With the
coming of spring, the large, finely
drilled British force that is now be
ing organized, and the enormous
French armies that have been held in
reserve, will be thrown into the field,
and then I look to see the Germans
forced back upon their own borders.
There Ithink the war will end. With
Germany wholly on the defensive, her
j resources dwindling, her invasion
beaten back, and the armies of her
enemies at the borders of the Father
land, I believe she will be so humil
iated and in such a measure defeated
that she will welcome peace. I do not
believe that the struggle will continue
to the complete crushing of either
•side.
“Neither do I believe that Germany
will be forced, through financial, food,
or industrial stringency, to abandon
the struggle. The war will end when
the activity of the German invasion
is beaten back.
“I do not expect that the United
States will derive anything more than
a transient benefit from the war, and
this will undoubtedly be offset by the
general depression on the world’s
trade that is sure to follow such a
paralysis of Europe.
“It is quite possible that, impressed
by this war, the world will come in
some way to understand the useless
ness and waste of such a struggle.
While I do not expect to see interna
tional peace issue from the battle
fields of Europe, still I anticipate an
eradication of the spirit of militarism
—and a fuller and freer understanding
Detween the great nations of the
world. It seems very doubtful that
any great change such as an over
throw of the empire will come to Ger
many.’’
DR. W. D. SMITH HAS COPY OF
RARE BOOK ON MINING
Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the
'* Geology Department, has in his pos
session a rare book, a translation of
“De Re Metalica.” This work is by
the famous mining expert, H. C. Hoo
ver, whose career from his college days
at Palo Alto to his position as lead
ing mining expert of the world and
savior of America’s stranded in Eu
rope by the outbreak of the war, has
(attracted much attention. In com
pany with the Irwin brothers, Wal
lace and Will, and John C. Switzer,
he lived in a tent in the rear of and
worked his way through Stanford.
He was caught one time raiding a
vineyard that adjoined the school and
came near being expelled, together
with Wallace Irwin and Switzer, who
j has since become the greatest mer
chant in the Philippines. After grad
uation he married Miss Lou Henry,
an excellent Latin student and prom
inent in sorority circles. Together
they set about translating the work
of George Bauer, the great geologist
of the fifteenth century . His book,
“Re De Metalica,” was declared un
translatable, but Mr. and Mrs. Hoo
^ ver published a translation of it in
1913. Only 300 of the books were
published. °The original wood cuts
were taken from the British jkuseum
that the reproductions' would be the
same as the original. To quote Pro
fessor Smith, “I know of but one orig
inal copy in America. This is in the
vaults of Columbia University.”
DANCING SUBSTITUTED FOR
GYM WORK AT COEUMBIA U.
Students of the Journalism Depart
ment of the University of Columbia
may dance instead of taking gymnasi
um for exercise. When the announce
ment of the new plan was made, it
caused the office of the registrar to be
swamped with applicants for the new
!#form of physical training. It is now
feared that the few women of the col,
lege will be over-exercised, because
they are so greatly outnumbered by
the men.

a men’s chorus composed of the com

Grove was very successful, and an ur
gent invitation was given to repeat
the trip this year.
MILITARY GAMP PLANNED
Posters in Villard Hall Announce In
stallation of Summer Courses
of Five Weeks Duration
A bulletin on the board in Villard
Hall announces the installation of a
number of summer military camps for
students of various colleges and insti
tutions of higher learning, by the War
Department, Washington, D. C. The
course is of five weeks duration, last
ing from June 25 till August 1.
A special announcement by Presi
dent Wilson and complete data on the
equipment, maneuvers, and so on, is
given in Harper’s Weekly of Jaun

“The benefit of these camps to the
nation is that they foster a patriotic
spirit, without which a nation soon los
es its virility and falls into decay;
they spread among the citizens of this
country a more thorough knowledge
of military history, military policy
and military needs, all necessary to
the complete education of a well
equipped citizen in order that he may
himself form just and true opinions
on military topics,” the bulletin reads.
The camp that is to be made avail
able for students on the Pacific Coast
is located near the Presidio, San Fran
cisco, California.
