 WILL. NOT QUIT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 21.-Professor Hugo Munsterberg has withdrawn his resig- nation from the chair of psychology at liar yard university, ''at the request of the authorities" according to an announcement made tonight.

 The Harvard alumni bulletin, which con- taned the announcement, says editorially that the university cannot afford to admit "any suggestion that it would be willing to accept money to abridge free speech to re- move d professor or to accept his resigna- tion"

INTERESTING DESCRIPTION
 OF NAVAL ENGAGEMENT

LONDON Oct 22-Graphic descriptions of the battle off HegoIsnd in which the British fleet sank the German cruisers Malnz, koeln and ArIadne and two torpedo boat destroyprs are contained in the official re. ports of Admiral Sir David Beatty, Rear Admiral Arthur Henry Christian and other officers, who took part ill the action on August 23
 The reports show that while the Germans did not succeed in destroying any British ships, they fought with great determination, and before the arrival of the cruisers tn" situation, in the words of Vice Admiral Beatty, appeared critical"
 The British fleet, when it went into ac- tion, was only twenty-five miles from two German naval bases and the ships were maneuvercd in the hope of bringing out the main German fleet but without success. The British were attacked however, by submarines destroyers and light cruisers. One British cruiser, the Arcthusa, which had been out of the builders hands only forty eight hours was so severely handled that she had to be taken in tow after the action was over.
 Vice Admiral Beatty commanded the frat battle cruiser squadron and first light cruiser squadron, while Rear Admiral Chris tian commanded the destroyers and the Are thusa.
 A special report was also issued on he work of the submarines since the beginning of the war It says that three hours after war broke out two submarines, unaccom- panied, carried out reconnaissance in LICI- goland blight and returned with useful m. formation.
 Submarines also stood guard night and day while the expedtionary force WAS be ing transported to the continent, and have been necessarily employed on the enomy's coast in HeIgoland bgLt and elsewhere The report continues
 They have obtained much valuable in- formation concerning the composition and movements of hi, patrols They have oc- cupied his waters and accommodated his an chorages, and while so engaged have been subjected to skillfuI and well executed anti submarine tactics, hunted for hours al time by torpedo craft and attacked by gun fire and tOrpedoeS.
 Submarines took part in the Helgoland battle but conditions were not favorable, the invisblity being low and the sea calm. There was no opportunity of closing with the German cruisers to within torpedo range.
 Reference is made to the E-9's sinking of the German cruiser Hela and the de stroyer S-126, Dealing generally with the use of these craft, the report says:
 Against an enemy whose capital ships have never, and whose light cruisers have seldom. emerged from their fortified har- bors. the opportunities of delivering sub marine attacks have necessarily been few, and on one occasion only-prior to Sep tember 13-has one of our submarines been within torpedo range of a cruiser during daylight hours
 A large number of officers are recom- mended for orders and promotion, Com mander Max Horton of the E-9 for both,

ALASKA RAILWAY SURVEYS
 HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

Lean and bronzed from his summers work in the North Thomas Riggs, Jr., oi the Alaska railway commission, in com pany with N C. Edes chairman of the commission has returned to Seattle, says the sun of that city. He reports all tie surveys complete, and corps of draftSm"n now is making maps and protiles of the country The lines surveyed by the com mission include:
 Seward to Fairbanks; Portage Bay fields Mile If of the Alaska Northern rail way to N4tanusl,a coal fields Susitna to the huskollwim and Idjtarod; three lines , from Nenana to Fairbanks and the lnspcc- ton uf the Valdez route; Cordova route {; Tauana Valley railway; Bering river to Cordova, connecting with the Copper River X Northwestern railway at Mile 3S Con troller Bay, Katalla and the oil fields i, McCarty to Chtna.
 A force of twenCy-four draftsmen is em- ployed, and eight more now in the North will ioin the force soon. The maps anI protiIes will be ready by January 1 acco"r.- ing to present plans, at which time it is expected the full report of the commi~s0. will he ready to submit to President Will son.
 Mir Riggs reports weather conditions this summer the worst he has ever seen in the North IL rained almost continually, caus ing several serious floods in the Tan?na river
 All the plans for the extension of the road from the Nenana to Fairbanks call for the construction of steel bridge over -ha Tanana river. This may be either q brdSa from high approaches, so constructed IS to allow the free passage of r.Ver boats or a draw or lift bridge.
 In either event the approaches are ,uic able The surveys bring the road into Fair banks on the Garden island side, and if t is to reach Fairbanks proper it VII be necessary to buld another bridge across tho Cinema slough in front of the city
 Chairman EGes will leave fer Washington as soon as practicable Lieutenant Frede,ck Mears, the third member of the commis sion will sail south from ship creek aDout November 1 From Seattle he will go ;c Canada where he will inspect roads now building under conditions similar to the pro posed Alasak lne Riggs will remain in Seattle until the drafting force has com plated Is work.
 The commission will meet at Washington when all the data is in shape, and vii! then prepare and submit its report.
 The only accident to the commissioners was sustained by Riggs who broke two ribs while in the Nenana. He was thr Wn from bucking horse. The injury was not serious; in fact, he did not know his ribs were fractured until examined by the doc tor who accompanied the party.
