Russia's request to demobilize on all the

changed her intentions. 1t is added that
the negotiations would have collapsed al

Cambridge Men Fighters.

The Cambridge men,, lighter and less
experienced than their opponents, never
theless showed themselves fighters dur
ing training and were declared today to
be in top form. They were pronounced
by experts the best crew from the Cam
in decade. For the first time in the
annual race between the two varsity
crews Cambridge rowed in a center
seated boat.
AS in the past, the majority of the
oarsmen on both crews learned to handle
an oar at EtOn, but the Colonial Rhodes
scholars are beginning to break into this
last stronghold of English sport Last
year c. w. B. Littlejohn of Melbourne
rowed seven, and today two Australians,
III. X. Ward and C. L. Baillieu, occupied
thwarts in the Oxford SHE'LL
Great precautions were taken to guard
against any outrage by militant suffra-
gettes which might mar the race. The
lighthouses We're watched with great yigi-
lance throughout the night and women
were forbidden to stand on the bridges
under which the racing crews passed.
All boats along the course were COM
PEELED to come to an anchor except the
steamers officially authorized to follow
the race. An endeavor was even made
to keep women off the river during the
contest, but this was found impracticable.

Thousands See Contest.
The Battle of the Blues for the
aquatic honors of the year between eight
cared crews representing Oxford and
Cambridge-dark and light blue, re-
spectively-attracted its usual thousands
of spectators today. Beginning with the
dawn. citizens of London began to surge
over the bridges crossing the Thames be-
tween Putney and Mortlake, and then
waited patiently along the banks for the
one f1eeting glimpse which was the most
they could hope to catch of the con-
testants.
The Oxford crew, as usual, was the
favorite. Oxford had distinct advan-
tage during the training season, owing
to it's greater opportunities for practice
on the Thames. The Cambridge crew in
its preliminary training is restricted to
the little river Cam

Dark Blues would make it five straight

ANNUAL ISSUED BY
MORAVIA SCHOOL

Moravia, May 21-The Moravian, a
high school annual, is a new venture
for the pupils of the high school, but
one which is meeting with much sue
cess. The book was delivered to the
committee the latter part of last week
and they have already sold the most
of them. The annual in it's first issue
contains many interesting features,
good reading. jokes, snap shots, cleo
tros of classes, individuals and some
cartoons. In fact, the book is full of
good things from start to finish and
ought to be in the library of every
home. The seniors were directly re-
sponsible for the annual, and they
were assisted by other students. The
staff roll call is as follows: Editor-in-
chief, Ralph Winsler: business man.

blessing in front of their faces. Ever
the significance of the fact that they
were seated according to their ages
was lost upon them. The special por

would readily have understood that
one Of the great romances such as
all peoples have in their lore was being
enacted before their eyes.
However, We cannot blame these
Hebrews too strongly, since most of

in a world Of blessing, and we dread
it as If it were world Of impending

Des Moines, May 21.- Railroad

railroads were especially concerned
over loss of revenue.
Steal Iowa Idea.
Iowa women who have done so
much to popularize the "baby health
contest idea, to adopt scientific
score cards for judging Of babies and
to induce state fairs and other organ
izations to take up with this part Of
the work, are highly indignant be-
cause an eastern woman's magazine
has adopted the idea and proposes to
feature it everywhere without giving
the slightest credit to the Iowa wo-
men, and in fact claiming originality
for the scheme. The idea really made
it's start here at the state fair, where
it has been quite success for the
past two years. From here it was
carried to Denver, thence east, and
the score card adopted and worked
out here was adopted by the women
of the American Medical society.
Now comes a magazine with a varj-
ation, changing the score card just a
little, giving the plan new name.

this bold theft of their pet and feel
that a great injustice is about to be
done them.

TRYING TO PROVIDE
MONEY For VETERANS

Des Moines, May 21.-Several of the
members of the legislature were in the
city yesterday and discussed the plans
for raising money to aid in sending the
Gettysburg veterans back to the battle
field reunion. They all agreed that If
someone will put up the money-about
$4,000 is required-the next legislature
will surely reimburse Them, but how
to arrange it and make it safe for the
persons who make the advance is an
other question.
Gov. Clarke has been very DESTROYS
that some plan be adopted that will
provide the money and it is almost
certain that the problem will be solved
so that every Gettysburg veteran re-
siding in Iowa can get his fare to the
battlefield If he will go in person.
