Respect for America.
Reed college Is in receipt of a litter
from Professor Harold Guy Merriarn of
Its English department, now connected
with thePYl M. C. A. at Fontainbleau,
France. Professor Merriarn states that
the demobilization of the various train
ing camps, located on French, soil is
nearly complete, and he hopes, to be
with the Y forces which will supervise
the placing of ' returned soldiers in
English unifersittes, Professor Merriarn
was a Rhodes scholar for three years at
Oxford, And he is well qualified to aid
in the task of readjustment in the
English educational Institutions.
Professor Merriarn had 3ust heard of
President Wilson's journey to the peace
conference as he wrote.. "It will do more
than any other one , thing to bring
about the right kind of peace," said
Professor Merriarn. "It was -also Im
perative' to Insure the preeminence of
the United States in the negotiations
and respect for. her after peace among
the great nations. The French desired
it above all things, and Britain demand
ed his coming, though more quietly.
Again I think the president has seen
beyond the public and will soon have
the people thinking with him."

ing at a T. M. C. A. .foyer where French
soldiers are learning to speak English
besides enjoying the boxing and games
which the T workers supervise. Profes
