SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SOLDIERS.
Appropriation of one million do!
lars by the National War Wort
Council of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association for 46,200 free
scholarships for honorably discharg
ed American soldiers, sailors, and
marines was announced at New
York recently by William Sioane.
chairman. The scholarships will in
clude 16,000 in Y. M. C. A. or
other accredited schools, 30,000 in
correspondence instruction, and 200
in universities, colleges, and tech
nical schools.
The plan is intended to be a con
tinuation of the “Y" educational
system established with the Ameri
can Expeditionary Forces abroad,
and details of the curriculum will be
completed by official representatives
from every state, who wall meet in
Battle Creek, Mich., for that pur
pose. Americans who served with
any of the Allies, or sons of Ameri
cans who died in service during the
war, will be eligible for certain of
the scholarships. Applications are
now being received at every Y. M.
C. A. in the United States.
“In April, 1919,” said Mr. Sioane,
"the so-called ‘khaki college,' organ
ized under General Pershing’s order
by the American Y. M. C. A. at a
cost of $3,000,000 in France, Bel
gium, Germany, and Great Britain,
was turned over to the war depart
ment. together with its entire per
sonnel of 400 Y. M. C. A. instruc
tors. The speed with which the
troops were despatched home and
demobilized cut short the service
planned.
“The army’s and navy's responsi
bility for the education of the serv
ice men ceased upon return to civ,!
life. Occupational readjustment, to
gether with the high cost of livihg,
has made additional training all the
more necessary for ex-service men.
The unrest of the present day and
the spreading of exaggerated radi
calism. known as Bolshevism. a3s
demands wider acquaintance with
principles of economics, history, and
current events. For these reasons,
the War Work Council of the Y. M
C. A. has decided to continue its
free educational service.”
Seventy percent of the 4.800.00C
men who served in the American
army and navy during the war came
from rural communities, according
to “Y” statisticians. For these men.
most of whom have now returned
home, the 30.000 correspondence
courses will be offered. The school
equipment in more than 2,000 “Y”s
throughout the country, valued at
$.107,830,000, will be utilized.
REDS IN NORWAY.
A strong Bolshevik element in
Norwegian Socialistic circles is re
ported by a Scandinavian corre
spondent of Common Sense, one of
the widely read London weeklies.
He writes that the Left-Socialists In
Norway stand without reserve on
the side of the Russian Bolsheviki.
At the last general election they
polled 250,000 votes and won 52
seats. One of their leaders, Egede
Xissen, says the correspondent, vis
ited Moscow, where se “sat at Len
line’s feet.” j
i “The program is openly revolu-!
j tionary,” adds the correspondent, I
i “the leaders even rejecting reforms I
| which are in their own program,!
J once these reforms promise to be at- j
! tainable by parliamentary means. An i
; instance is the eight-hour day re- i
j form, which was promised in the
j king’s speech at the last storthing
j opening, but which, under the in
jspiration of the Left-Socialists, the
j workmen set about realizing by “di
|rect action,” knocking off work an
: hour before the customary time,
i without giving their employers no
jtice.
j “Similarly the Left-Socialists re
I pudiate wage agreements, and last
I <
i summer, when agreements involving
j 50.000 workmen expired, they op
posed a renewal and urged the work
j men to seize the factories. In par
ticular they opposed a renewal of
I the customary clause, ‘the employer
controls and distributes work.’
“Naturally the party is strongly
anti-militaristic; some months ago it
i formally ordered the constitution of
; soldiers’ soviets by all men liable
‘for army service. The Moderate
'Socialist leader. Lian, was obliged j
jto swallow this demand, but he made
the qualification that the soldiers’
soviets should go no further than
I preventing the employment of the
military against workingmen,
i "Many of the Left-Socialist news
papers are extremely aggressive;
:they support without reserve all ac
tions of the Moscow soviets and of
the extraordinary commission for
combating counter revolution.”
HANDICAPPING IRELAND.
Gratification in Dublin over th?
establi' 1 ment of direct shipping ser
vice with America changed to dis
appointment when it was found tha:
-he Liverpool charges had been made
on the cargo of the first vessel to
arrive at Dublin from America,
writes a correspondent of the Asso
.elated Press.
The Dublin importer has had to
pay a charge of nearly $10 a ton
for Liverpool port dues, cartage in
Liverpool and freight from Liver
pool to Dublin, though the vessel
.came direct to Dublin and never
saw Liverpool. The explanation giv
en by the consignors is that the
matter depends upon the terms of
the contract, which, being made in
the old form, contemplated these
Liverpool charges. In future it!
should be easily possible to elim
inate this difficulty.
The matter is, however, treated
' in the Dublin Nationalist press as a
'revival against Ireland of the in
famous Navigation Acts of 1660 to
‘ 1671, under which no Irish-owned
ships were allowed to sail the seas,
j The principal difficulty in the way
;of the permanent establishment of
direct traffic with America is said
:by economists to be the absence of
• sufficient return cargoes. Irish
.manufacturers are combining to
i meet this difficulty.
D'ANNUNZIO.
_
I Gabriele d'Annunzio’s seizure of
jPiume and issuance of an ultimatum
I
of defiance to the world has brought
out many stories in England con
cerning the alleged eccentricities of
the Italian poet-warrior. Among
these are the following, published by
John o’ London’s Weekly:
“If the artistic temperament >s
hallmark of the self-conscious show
man. d’Annunzio has it to a su
preme degree. It manifests itself in
many ways. He is the possessor,
for instance, of a wardrobe which j
might make a Brummell envious.
“Like the elder Dumas, he is a j
rapid worker. On one occasion he j
completed a play containing 3,000 j
verses in 17 days. He finds that i
he works best at night, and his usual ■
procedure is to start after dinner, !
at about eight o'clock, and write on
steadily until nine the following
morning. Then, after a light break- !
fast, he retires to bed—for the re
mainder of the day.
“A fondness for strange pets is i
one of his characteristics. Some i
years ago he tamed a small sala- I
mander and kept it three years. On i
its death d'Annunzio burst into!
Lears. It was solemnly buried under
the large mantlepiece of the poet’s
study. The opening of the vault is
:losed by a black marble slab on j
which, in letters of gold, are in- i
scribed the words, ’Beate salaman-1
. i
irae sacrum.
“At one time he kept over forty 1
lorses in Florence. One of the
!
strangest of his pets, however, is a
toldfish. on which he has bestowed
he name of Lou-Pe-Li-Tel. Of this
:urious inmate of his household
1’Annunzio has declared that ’it
jossesses the two qualities most rare J
n life—it is clean and silent.'
"The subject of death looms large .
n all his writings, and he has a!-'
•eady built a tomb for himself
imong the Apennines, not far from
he source of the river Pescara, to
which so many references are made
n his works.”
