The British scholastic world is stirred
to its depths by an agitation over the If
fairs Of the University Of Bristol. which
arises from the enterprising action of the
members Of the University Council in
cOmplimenting themselves by the bcstOw-
al Of honorary scholastic degrees upon
themselves.
The Council thought it beftting to Gel
ebratc a recent anniversary by the dis
tributiOn of hOnOrs to numerous eminent
men. This proposal met with the approx
" Of the University. Lord Roberts, Sundrv
bishops and other celebrities were in
vitcd to the University 10 receive their
diplomas, and the occasion was made 4
- l't'c" dav in the annals of the quiet
provincial city. Some sixty degrees alto
gcther were conferred. and there was
great enthusiasm over the appearance of
England's foremost soldier. but the en-
:huSiaSm failed to maintain itself at few
or heat when it developed that about half
Of the hOnOrs were being distributed to
members of the body which was bestOw-
ing them in the name Of the University.
Most Of these gentlemen were prosper
Gus merchants and manufacturers. but
the majority were tainted with the Gus
piciOn Of lacking such scholastic attain
ments as would qualify them to write
Master Of Arts or Doctor Of Laws after
their names. Hitherto all British univcr-
stiles have been very conservative in
granting honorary degrees. The posses
sion of such a distinction was a reward
for real work; scholarly, professional or
scientific.
There are only seven universities in
England. Oxford and Cambridge. OF
course, stand alone. The other five arc
comparatively new creations. in the great
commercial c%cntcrs. Manchester. Birming

England means vastly more than it does
in America. Hence the storm. The uni
versity caste have been pouring reprOach
and ridicule upon Bristol. Even profess
sors of the university sign bitter protests
in the newspapers.
The Bishop Of Bristol has published q
gallant defense. 1t is III effect that the
university is a local institution and
should associate itself closely with the
life of the city, and that the hOnors were
given to men who had worked for the
welfare of the community.
The matter has not been allowed to
rest, however, and there is talk Of an APP
peal to the Privy Council. in which ulti-
mate control Of the university il vested,
TO cancel the degrees.
Worse things are whispered in the gem
raj agitation, the short and ugly word Of
American muckrakers-graft. The Brit
iSh call il 'jObbery." Contracts for sup
plies to the university are voted without
competition to members of the Council,
say some of the critics. and on terms that
make them more profitable than ordinary
business.

LONDON, Feb. 22-The reputation of
Lieutenant Hans Wagner, of the Austro-

is to be determined by an Austrian Court
Of Justice, accOring TO information re
ceived here from the Austrian capital.
Lieutenant Wagner represented the

worldwide attention. Afterward accusa-
tons of taking were levelled against him.

battle of Lule Burgas, when he reported
that he had been at the front three days
in the saddle until my poor horse could
not walk another step" really was writ
ten many miles from the scene of action.
Another Vienna newspaper, the Zeit,
attacked the authenticity of Wagner's re
ports somewhat bitterly, and it is to be
the defendant in the litigation. Lieu
tenant Wagner did not bring suit him
self, but reported the attacks made upon
him by the Zeit to the Colonel Of his reg
iment, that the military authorities
might take action to clear his reputation
if they thought fit. Doctor Funder, the
chief editor of the R%eichpOSt, has brought
the libel suit, the Zeit having called him
a "swindler" for publishing Wagner's
messages. The Zeit charged that these
messages were largely cOncOcted in the
editorial Office of the R~eichspOSt by Aus
trian staff officers. The ReichspoSt in
sists that they were genuine. although ii
is understood the editor is prepared to
admit that they came in such condensed
form that the aid Of military experts was
required to decipher them ~intelligently.
Some delay before the trial Of the case
is likely, as the editor of the Zeit has
asked for a month in which to collect
evidence and prepare his defense. The
hearings will be deeply interesting to
newspapers and military men alike.
