would not even say whether he THINKS d

This explanation was discredited 10y the
politican whom Becker named as tpe IN

Attorney General for information regard

WOMAN DOCTOR IN THE WAR ZONE

Dr. Mary Crawford of Brooklyn is
one of the few woman doctors to go
to the war zone in Europe. Mary
Crawford wanted to be something
more than trained nurse, so she
spent seven years at Cornell, being
graduated with the medical class of
"oughty-seven."
One day Miss Crawford read
something in the newspapers about
vacancies at the Williamsburg hos
pital. She sent for application blanks.
They read
ANY one desiring the Williams
burg hospital, ETC."
She filled out the blank and, in
some way, the MARY" of her name
passed unnoticed. But when she pre-
sented herself the hospital authorities
were dumfounded. They had woman
on their hands for nearly two years.
But out of 35 applicants she had
passed highest of all and the hospital
was game. 1t is said that its recep-
ton Of Doctor Crawford was splendid.

DRAGGED TOO MUCH.
Fasteners Believe Kansas is
Wealthy Enough to Support
Her Own Institutions.
REFUSE MONEY TO SCHOOLS
College of Empor1a's Request for Aid
Turned Down-Churches in
Same Boat.

Kansas has been boasting so much
about its big crops, motor cars and per
capita wealth that Kansas must now
support its own educational and relig-
lous institutions. Kansas cannot get
funds from the East for endowments
any more. Eastern folk say Kansas
doesn't need help. The College OF EN-
poria is the largest Presbyterian col
lege in Kansas and one of the big de-
nominational schools of the state. 1t
has recently decided to raise 100000
for its endowment fund. The trustees
asked Eastern friends to start the fund
by a good contribution, contingent
upon Kansas raising a part of the to-
tai desired. But the trustees we're re-
fused. In the College Bulletin, issued
last month, an appeal is made for
funds from Kansans and the reason
for this request is given as follows:
Special conditions in our state re-
quire special efforts. Kansas is con-
sidered so wealthy that 1t is almost
impossible for us to get money in the
East At the same time, this wealth
is so divided that there are very few
individuals of large means in Kansas
to whom we can appeal. Compare con-
ditions in this state, where our col
lege has only very small productive
endowment, with conditions in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, where our Pres
byterian colleges have millions of en-
nowment, ample equipment and eli
entele of wealthy men and rich alum
nj from whom they may draw support.
Conditiins are plainly exceptional in
this state, and the synod recognizes
this in asking our churches for special
efforts to support our school"
While the Kansas per capita wealth
is the largest in the country there are
a smaller number of wealthy men and
women here than almost anywhere
else. r

MosLEM LEADER LOYAL TO BRITAIN

Great Britain was pleased and
immensely relieved by the action OF
that famous Indian dignitary, the Aga
Khan, in directing the community OF
which he is the spiritual head to place
their personal services and resources
unreservedly at the disposal OF the
British government, and in addition
to this volunteering to serve as pri-
vate in any infantry regiment OF the
Indian expeditionary force. For this
prodigiously wealthy and largely Eu-
ropeanized native chieftain, as the
spiritual leader Of vast numbers OF
Mahometans in Western India, Gen.
trail Asia and East Africa, is perhaps
the greatest power of the Moslem
world.
Directly descended as he is from
Ali, the nephew of Mahomet himself,
he is regarded by his followers almost
as q god and is believed by many to
hold the keys of heaven. Many OF
the curious privileges Of his position
ara NOT however exercised by the
