The total result of last week's academic tilt was to rouse a majority of British editors to frenzied indignation at the U. S. Cartoons labeled "USury" were frequent in which " Uncle Sam" became "Uncte Shylock," and was adorned with unmistakably Semitic features. Late despatches reported that this orgy of futility seemed to have spent itself temporarily...
