SCHOOL AIDS ALIENS
University of Paris to Help Stu
dents Learn Language.
Move VIII Benefit 3,oOO-AlIiance
Franchise Asasts In Establish
ment of Faculty 10 Instruct
the Pupils From Abroad.

paris.-The question Of foreign
students at the University Of Paris
has been brought to~a head by CONS
plants from the French Students as
sociaticn that the teaching Of the unl-
yersily Is being liamlerod by the
presence of so mally students with an!
imperfect knowledge Of the language.
There are now over 1900 foreign
students entered mt the university,
most OF them at The Faculty OF Lett
tcrs, which cannot, It is alleged, With
out grave Injustice to the French stu
dents, give courses which foreign stu
dents are capable Of following.
To remedy this state OF affairs, the
Alliance Franchise, IN cooperation
with the university authorities, has
decided to create faculty where the
French language will be taught from
its earliest origins to its latest deVel1
opments, and the foreign student fit
ted to follow any course In the uni
versity without inconvenience to his
fellow students and with a profit to
himself.
The university has offered to sell to
the Alliance at reasonable price
plot of land conveniently situated on
the left bank of the Seine, close to the
university. In order to raise the
necessary funds to buy the land and
build and equip the necessary prem
ises, stock company has been form
ed under the name Of the Society or
Friends Of the Alliance Francalse,
with a capital Of $4,000. .
The mountain sickness experienced
by mountain climbers and the species
of same ailment affecting aviators at
great heights can be prevented by
hypodermic injections Of oxygen, ac-
cording to DR.. Roux, the director OF
the Pasteur Institute.
DR.. Roux read paper before the
Academy Of Sciences, demonstrating
the results of a series of experiments
made with rabbits at the summit OF
Mount Blanc in Switzerland. Some OF
the rabbits were Treated with oxygen
and the others were not treated.
Subsequent examinations showed
that the blood Of the treated rabbits
was Of the natural red-purple which
would be found when at their normal
altitude. The blood Of the remaining
rabbits was blackish and unhealthy.
The scientist says the injections
may be made very easily and that
very little oxygen Is required.

When he arrived at the Alexandria

In tow by Guillermo Arguella, official
Interpreter Of the Alexandria staff,

breakfast order and the other his
luncheon and dinner bill Of fare.
It was not until recently that Argu-
clio discovered the Spaniard had

sum of money" she bequeathed to her
granddaughter might attract incom-
petent and designing persons to her."

Butterfield will, which was filed in
New York city, recently, Is Miss Dor
othy Bullard Smith. She is just bios
soming into womanhood and has spent
most Of her life in London.
Six codicils In the will are devoted
to the granddaughter and the problem
of marriage. She Is cautioned against
{. hasty marriage, advising that she
consult her mother. She Is warned
never to marry a McKeague. 1t ap-
pears the grandmother was a former
friend of Mrs. McKeague. None Of
the three McKeague boys have ever
been attentive to the young woman.
II the codicil is broken the money set
aside for Miss Smith goes to six char

from the Butterfeld estate until she
is thirty when it will come into her
own right, unless she marries not in

Republiean committees and speakers are
gradually overcoming the strange con-
aition of distrust and Indifference so
widespread a month ago. The work OF
the Democrats in their carefully laid
campaign to SOW these seeds has been
largely discounted by the readable ana

Limington, which gave 1877 to 1870 Is de-
ciared safe this year. North Berwick
2s5 to 22l will be reversed at least, and
South Berwick is reported close, with the
Democrats appearing to have a slight
advantage. Old Orchard. Dayton and
York are uncertain but the Republicans
are working hard and confidently.
i The Kittery committee is hoping to
carry. the town by 900 to 100 The other
uowns undoubtedly will increase their
nnajority.
Local issues are very much in favor
of the two French-American representa-
fives nominated in Biddeford and they
are hoping to get enough Democratic
French voters to pull them through. fhe
rest of the county representation seems
certainly Republican.

Of the complete representation is be-

Plastedism is going TO be rebuked by

owing TO the administrations attitude to-
ward the liquor problem, it's extra ses-

and declare that they will support Mr..
Haines this year In fact the general
discomfort is not confined to Republicans
by any means for there are many life-
long Democrats who are making claims
that they viii not support the Governor
