TN DEBT TO HUMANITY.
Giving, for some cause or another, is getting to be so ordi
nary a part of the everyday lift of the American that it is doubt
ful if a large part of his giving has not become mechanical. The
causes for which we are asked to contribute are many and
worthy, but in their very worthiness there appears to be a dan
ger.
We are giving more generously from our pocketbooks than
from our hearts.
The checks we write for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and
the many other civil agencies for carrying on military and pop
ular relief during these times are as fuel for a locomotive. It is
money they ask and money they want, hut with it they want the
active co-operation in spirit of those who are making their work
possible. Without a full realization of the need of such organ
izations and the good they accomplish we cannot hope to be fully
efficient in our co-operation.
Let us get out of the habit of giving because we are asked
without fully realizing to what end we are giving. Let’s give
and then give some more, but always with the picture before us
of the suffering and hardship we are asked to assist in relieving.
Most any person will give a dollar to an organization and feel
satisfied that he has done his part, but there are few who can
picture starving children, wounded and dying soldiers and wreck
ed homes without realizing that he is ever in debt to humanity.
“DANCING FOR DEAR LIFE.”
How worthy is the work of relief among Belgian children,
victims of the war, that has been adopted and is being pushed
over the entire country by the various chapters of the Delta
Gamma sorority can be well understood by those who were for
tunate enough to hear the address by Professor Victor llorta,
Tuesday evening. No amount of reading could ever bring home
the full horrors of the German atrocities that have been visited
upon Belgium as did Professor Horta’s words.
Tomorrow night the Oregon Delta Gammas are giving a
jitney dance for the benefit of the relief fund. If dancing is
worth a “jitney” a whirl as a pastime, dancing for the cause de
scribed by Professor Iforta is worth the full fifty cents worth.
If ever the phrase, “dancing for dear life” was applicable it will
be tomormw night.
MORE TENNIS ‘COURTS.
HotP great is the Universitys need for more tennis courts
has been brought home this year more than ever before by the
greatly overcrowded condition of the courts. Just why tennis
has gained so much in popularity this year is not easily under
stood, but even a passing glance at the lines of players around the
courts during the late afternoon and early evening hours, wait
ing for an opportunity to play, is convincing evidence that the
racquet game has come to the front rapidly and is becoming more
firmly established each day.
Steps should be taken at once to provide at least half a dozen
more courts before the re-opening ot school in the Fall. And
while they are being constructed it will be economy to make them
permanent, first class courts.

PRESIDENT TO HELP
NG WORK
P. L. Campbell Writes from
Capital of Chances for
Positions in Civil
Service.
Educational Board Seeks to
Keep Younger Men in Col
leges for Training.
President Campbell, who is now in
Washington, D. C., has written to Karl
Onthank, saying that there is a wealth
of places for graduates on this year’s
classes in the civil service branches in
the capitol, and that he will be glad to
assist anyone in locating positions. He
also writes of the work of the emergency
council of education, of which he is act
ing as secretary. The special aim of
the council at present is to make suc
cessful this great campaign for inducing
students to stay in school, now, that
they may be fitted to take up the
burden of reconstruction and business
after the war. A part of his letter fol
lows:
‘‘The committee on education and spe
cial training of the war department is
I beginning a very active campaign to in
j duce students to remain in high school
and college, so that they may bo avail
able as a war asset in the years of the
war which remain. It looks as though
we were going to he in it for a couple
of years at least, and the war depart
ment is extremely anxious to make sure
of the future source of supply.
To Paint Posters.
“The committee will print posters af
ter the method of the food administra
tion and will use the papers to the full
extent. The emergency council is plan
ning to co-operate with the committee
of the war department, at its request,
in organising this whole movement as a
nation-wide campaign, both to secure a
future supply of trained men and wom
en, and also to help keep the education
al institutions up to their full measure
of efficiency. A still larger purpose is
that of raising in the consciousness of
the American people the supreme fact
that education is the first weapon of de
mocracy and that the educational or
ganization of the country must not only
be maintained at its present level, but
vastly increased and strengthened. This
means the continuance of large gifts
and also generous appropriations by
cities and states.
Government to Assist.
“The Federal Government will also
eome into it witli large appropriations.
The whole machinery of the emergency
council will be turned into this cam
paign. We hope to use a large number
of people and to send out a great deal
of literature. The other big organiza
tions are co-operating very heartily with
us. We shall have the support of prac
tically all the government agencies.’’

ARMENIAN RELIEF MONEY
TO BE RAISED BY FRIDAY
Fund of $100 Will Be Sent to James
Lyman, Former Y. M. Secre
tary, Now in Turkey.
The fund of $100 to be raised by the
University men for Armenian relief is
expected by those in charge to be pledg
ed in full by Friday. No returns have
yet been received from the solicitors,
who started work on the campus today.
The money is to be sent to James K.
Lyman, former secretary of the campus
Y. M. C. A., who is doing mission work
in Turkey.
A letter was received by the Y. M. C.
A. yesterday from the American Board
if Commissioners for foreign missions
which is directing the work of Marash
■ollege in Asiatic Turkey, praising high
ly the work that Mr. Lyman is doing
there. The letter also stated that reg
ular school duties at the college have
been curtailed owing to the conditions
brought about by the war, and that the
deportation of the Armenians had taken
away the older members of the student
body at Marash collegp leaving only
the younger children and refugees.
The letter also told of the salaries
that the workers are receiving. Mr.
Lyman receives but $600 a year for his
services while the women workers re
ceive but $4S6.

lated an English officer who wore tin
military cross. Ilis left hand was blown
off and his right shoulder paralyzed in
five shots from a German prisoner win

j fighting line, and assist in bringing the
! wounded to the dressing stations. Here
| the men are given hot ton, the inevitable
I cigarettes, and the wounds ire dress i.
I No operations are permitted in the dress
ing stations because of Ric danger of
shell fire and the waste of time.
“After the bleeding ceases,” said Lieu
tenant Bean, “the wounded are given
cards which tell the nature of the hurt,
and sent to the clearing statim and from
there to the base hospitals.”
In speaking of the list, of casuaPies,
he said five-sixths of the number are
wounded, and one-sixth killed. “Accord
ing to this estimate, said Dr. Bean, "the
list does not seem so formidable as shed
and gas shook cases are always included ”
