Many changes will be necessitated in the German Department in case of the retirement of Professor Francke. As it is probable that Professor Francke will at least not continue all his courses next year, his name has been left out of the pamphlet, though most of the courses have been announced unchanged.

The last of the Hohenzollerns will live to see that long and cruelly-wrested land snatched from him again. Will he remember Dixmonde when he hears the troops of the five great Powers crossing the Rhine? Will his heart bleed for Louvain afresh when the allies of democracy march through the plains of Prussia...
...addition to these war measures, it was reported early this morning that the Collector of the Port of Boston had received instructions to immediately seize all the German merchant ships here interned.
