MR. CONS TELLS OF LIFE IN THE
TRENCHES.

The following letters will undoubtedly
be of great interest to Mm and Mrs. Cons’
many ‘Bryn Mawr friends:

13 Adut 1914

‘Nous partons demain pour la France,
ma femme comme infirmiére et moi comme
soldat. Je ne sais pas de quelle cété sont vos
sy mpathies maixje vous erois trop sage—et
trop juste pourzre pas voir teréte-odieux joué
par lautocraySme prussien dans cette affaire.
Je crois gfe la kyance combat pour sa vie

Serté et que je ne pourrais donner
mon sang pour une meilleure cause.

_ “Je vous prie de dire & mes amies de Bryn
Mawr que, malgé tout, je garde le meilleur
souvenir. de votre beau Collége et que je
penserai bien souvent a lui, li-bas. Je
souffre beaucoup Ala pensée que je ne pourrai
peut-étre jamais achever mes recherches
mais mon admirable petite Americaine de
femme m’a promis, avec l'aide de qelques
amis, de les terminer avec les notes que je
laisse, sil m’arrive malheur. Tous mes
amis de France et presque tous les Frangais
d’Amérique partent ou sent partis, Ma vie
ne v aut pas mieux que laleur. Je pars aussi.

“Jespére que la-cause de la justice et «de
la liberté triomphera de la barbarie prus-
sienne. Je ne hais pas les Allemands mais

‘leur impérialisme brutal souléve le dégott
universel.”’

After six weeks’ training at Gap
(southeastern France), Mr. Cons’ regi-
ment was ordered to the front, and since
the middle of Sctober has been in the
trenches, “first those of the 3rd line, then
those of the Ist line, facing the enemy,
on the Roman road that runs from
Chalons-sur-Marne to Rheims.” He says
“the bullets whistle incessantly, like a

swarm of angry bees. We live crouched

certain terrible majesty, but the German

On December 23rd Mrs. Cons wrote:
“To supplement the meagre details
which you have already received, I send
you these extracts from Mr. Cons’ letters,
written hastily and incoherently as he
says, but which give a rather vivid pic-
ture of the life he is leading. I am lead-
ing a very humdrum existence in Paris,
working for the soldiers, .and the war
sufferers. I am well, and very busy, as
usual.. With best Christmas greetings to
all our Bryn Mawr friends. I wish I had
time to write to them all to thank them
for their sympathy.”

. MID-YEARS AND MERITS

How a simple system may become
much involved when a large number of
people set out to misunderstand it, is
demonstrated again and again by the con-
fusion invariably accompanying all men-
tion of ‘“‘merits.”’- Pages 57 and 58 of the
college catalogue give one the general
idea but the details of the arrangement
come only after long experience. In
order to graduate in four years you must
have at the end of your Junior-year over
half your hours’ merits: This means of
the minety hours regularly offered at least
forty-five and a half must be merit hours.
If you have only forty-five hours you fall
beneath the merit rule and must add
whatever extra time the college author-
ities-see fit. In order to hold office in
any class or college organization, to be
a team captain, business manager, editor
of any college publication, to take any
part in a play which needs rehearsing or
training of any kind, to hold any paid
position (this includes the choir) you
must have over half your hours’ merits.
A Freshman in order to do any of these
things after mid-years must have eight
hours of merits.

WOMEN IN EUROPE

Madame Rosika Schwimmer addressed
a-erowded-chapet Saturday evening:

Frau Schwimmer told of the new im-
portant position of the women of Europe.
Their internationalism though younger
than that of the men is more real and’
thorough. The race of motherhood is felt
as living force and binds the women of,
all nations together. She said that the
women confess that they are. partly
guilty for the war. They knew that ar-
maments and compulsory service would
bring on war, yet their motherliness did
not go beyond their individual homes, and
they did not care enough to alter the con-
ditions in the State. The women thought
it their duty to obey the men; the mar-
riage laws of Europe, contrary to Mathe-
tmhatics, say that one plus one equals one
and that is the husband. Now the men
order the women out to do the work
which in times of peace the men would
not allow the women to do even if they
wanted to. Frau Schwimmer begged the
women of our civilization to cry out and
instead of questioning, who is wrong, to
say, you are all wrong. “And now con-
centrate your work on getting means to
work for your ideals,” was her closing
exortation.

Constance Dowd and Emilie Strauss to consisting of Professors Barton, Frank |
and W. R. Smith, to co-operate with the |

committees of the Undergraduate Asso-

suffering in consequence of the war. The
committee is receiving from members of
the Faculty and Staff contributions for
the Red Cross, the Belgian“Relief Com-
mittee, and for the Committee of Mercy.

(This last committee aids the non-com- |
-batants in all the countries affected - by

the war. Contributions should be sent to

BRYN MAWR TO DISCUSS COLLEG-
IATE MOVEMENT FOR PEACE.

Last Sunday night the Liberal Club
held an unusually large meeting to dis-
cuss the work for constructive peace
which the women of America are begin-
ning at the instigation of Rosika Schwim-
mer. A motion was passed to call a
mass meeting which should vote on the
plan of Bryn Mawr's starting a round

are blind to the fact that we are here to
gain real knowledge and not just a series
of marks. It.is true. And a month after
Mid-years some students will surely say,
“I don’t remember a word of that subject,
but what does it matter, I got a credit
in it.”

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

(The Editors do not hold themselves
responsible for the opinions expressed in
this column.)

To the Editors:

After considering the editorial on Minor’
Latin in “The College News” of several
weeks ago, another practical idea oc-
curred to me. The writer wishes to em-
phasize the value of Minor Latin in teach-
ing English Composition. In fact in Har-
vard’s elective equivalent to our Second
Year English Composition a translation
once a week counts as a theme.

But the Editor omits, I think, an even
more practical value to the Bryn Mawr.
undérgraduate. If the Latin were trans-
lated more carefully and into better Eng-
lish, it would prove a great aid to the
Seniors in passing their Orals. For we
know from the Statistics of the first
Orals this year, that only five in French
and the same number in German, failed
who had had Major Latin. There is no
doubt*that training in speed and accuracy
of translation could at least partially be
attained in the present small divisions in
| Minor Latin.



S. Brandeis, ’15.

Editors of the “College News’—

Will not our American Art, Architec-
tural, Archeological and Historical So-
cieties, our Universities and Colleges,
raise a strong and united protest if not
elsewhere, at least in the American news-
papers, against the destruction being car-
ried on in Europe of art treasures that
_are. the property_not only of_ the coun-
tries where they are, but also of the civi-
lized world? And will not Bryn Mawr
lead in such a protest? Germany dreads
the unfavorable public opinion of the
United States, and England and France
would. certainly gladly join in any meas-
ures Germany could be got to agree to -
for the protection of art monuments.

If such a protest were too late to save °
the art treasures of Belgium still remain-
ing at this moment, it would not be too
late to protect Venice whose peril will be
great as soon as Italy moves and as she
certainly will move before long.

4 Vheure qu'il est. J'ai accompagné ce
malheureux pendant 3 kilométres jusqu’é
V'ambulance de |’arriére, 4 travers un boyau
étroit et tortueux dans lequel il est impossible
de faire passer un brancard. On lui avait
fait un pansement sommaire, mail il saignait
et souffrait affreusement. Il a supporté cela
héroiquement, s’inquiétant seulement d’avoir
la photographie de son petit que était restée
dans son sac. Le dit petit est mort deux
jours aprés la mobilisation et sa mére est
morte la méme semaine! Barras (e’est le
nom du blessé) a encore une petite fille dont
il est le soul soutien. Il est manoeuvre de
son métier. Il avait besoin de ses bras.

En général les accidents aux tranchées
sont le résultat d’imprudences de ce genre.
Il y a aussi les bellee qui traversent les

mais cela est rare. Enfin il y a les obus
contre lesquels il n’y a rien 4 faire qu’d se
jeter A terre et 4 attendre son destin. En
somme jusqu’ici fort peu de risques. Le
nuit du 26 au 27 Novembre j’ai assisté 4 un
spectacle d’une grandeur et d’une étrangeté
indicible: Il faisait un beau clair de lune
et l’atmosphére portait admirablement les
sons. De nos tranchées en primiére ligne
nous entendions les appels, les cris et les
ordres dans la tranchée allemande. Vers
11 heures du-soir—nes—voisinset_amis_des
régiments de l’active se mirent A se saluer
les uns les autres par des cris de joie (on
venait de leur annoncer une grande victoire
russe) et tout 4 coup, sur toutes les lignes
frangaises, la Marseillaise chantée par ‘des
milliers et des milliers de poitrines ardentes
et jeunes, parfaitement entendue des Alle-
mands—qu! répondaient par de petits cris
de dérision qui sonnaient trés mesquinement.
Ils commencaient A chanter leur Wacht am
Rhein quand nos batteries de 75-mélant leur
voix impérieuse au concert et tirant sur les
tranchées de Boches leur imposérent silence.
Les nétres chantaient toujours, C’était une

houettes d’enfants héroiques chantant la
Marseillaise et scandant chaque strophe

ment terrible du canon était le plus sublime
motif de l’orchestre. De telles impressions
ne s’oublient jamais. Le lendemain les
canons allemands se sont vengés en arrosant
notre tranchée, mais nous avons eu heureuse-
ment plus de peur que de mal.

Ne pas te figurer les tranchées comme de
simples fossés creusés dans la terre. En fait
les tranchées sont des fortifications de terre
comportant des fossés d’od on observe et on
tire, mais aussi des abris (en argot militaire

THE REV. FRANCIS E. HIGGINS

Sad news has come of the death of the
Rev. Francis E. Higgins on January 4th.
The last sermon which Mr. Higgins

'preached was at Bryn Mawr College on

November 21st. Mr. Hunter of the Bryn
Mawr Presbyterian Church has sent the
following notice of Mr. Higgins:

“The story of Mr. Higgins’ ministry

lent de| among the lumber camps has been too!
| widely told, for any who has heard his}
name to be entirely ignorant of the charm

of his life. His ministry to the churches

| jacks. In many a luxurious home in the
‘crowded city as well as in the remote
lumber camps of the forests from. the
Adirondacks to the Cascades and Sierras,
the announcement of the death of this
good man will bring a pang of personal
grief, and there will be corresponding joy
that he was known in life and that his
spirit touched and quiekened other
spirits. One of the best told tales of his
work calls him ‘Higgins, the man’s
Christian.’ He was quite that. He was
the Christ spirit expressed in the hardest,
roughest life which our complex society
shows. And when that spirit touched life
in, the circles of society’s richest refine-
ment it was as truly recognized for its
true self as in the woods where no other
man was so much beloved.”
