Letters from France recently received in Boston lay much emphasis on an American agency that is doing a far-reaching work for good among our boys overseas--the American University Union, which has taken possession of the Royal Palace Hotel in Paris. And it should be made plain that there are no unhappy class distinctions in the work in question, for the headquarters and bureau are maintained "for the friends" of our college boys in France, as well as for the boys themselves. The work was inevitable from the first, in view of the thousands of young American collegians, alumni...
...throughout the Bay State, so says the Massachusets Committee of Safety. This law has, however, a loophole, for the Committee has decided to exempt from this ruling the minute bit of pork which accompanies the Boston bean to the dinner table of every true Bostonian.

...greatest of all industries, science plays a leading role in the present tragdy of the world. Science itself is, of course, neither moral nor immoral, neither for war nor for peace. It is merely a method, embodying far-reaching principles,--a method that is applicable equally to good or to evil. Thus we find science today contributing impartially to the means of destroying life and of preserving it, and to the modes of inflicting pain and of relieving human misery...
