...proposition of closing New England colleges because of the coal shortage seems little short of pure ridiculousness. The Fuel Administration is expected to give its decision on this subject today, but if the administration is possessed of the intellect necessary for its work, it can return but one answer and that is in the negative. In the first place, nearly every college in New England is either directly or indirectly furnishing valuable aid to the Government in its military preparedness. This aid is essential, for the Germans are not through with attempting to sink transports. If the present program...
Although this answer is addressed to the Allies, yet it seems to be designed for "home consumption." In spite of censorship and exaggerated or even ficticious reports, the rumors of internal unrest in the Central Powers are not unfounded. Mutinies among sailors as well as Socialist discontent apparently exist, even though their importance may be overestimated. No better plea could be used to quell these than that Germany has agreed to discuss the enemy's proposals, but the enemy has persisted in fighting.

The maintenance of the Commonwealth on its present basis depends on the presence of an industrial body of workingmen in Australia itself. The Labor party, in short, cannot spare any more...
...purely scientific nature are presented when attempts are made to improve our airplanes or detect the enemy's submarines. Indeed, it is hard to think of an important phase of the war problems of today without raising scientific questions that none but well-trained scientists can be expected to answer. The nation that has a large supply of such men has an immeasurable advantage in the present conflict on the outcome of which the liberty and tranquillity of the world in the future so largely depends
