Week From Monday Nevada's Great
Institution of Learning Reopens It's
Doors to Youth Of State

when the University OF Nevada Cd.
ems on August 80 the indications are
that 1t will begin its most prosperous
year. Applications for admission have
been received universally from the
high schools of the state, and where
last year there were two freshmen
from community this year there lave
been applications from twelve, and in
many cases the entire graduating
classes from the local high school are
entering the university this fall.
The best place to educate the young
men and women OF a state is in the
university OF that state. All the more
progressive states are finding this out
and the tendency OF the universities ia
to shape their courses SO as to re.
spond to the particular educational
needs Of their people in the highest
possible degree.
This Is essentially true in Nevada
where our conditions are 80 different
from what they are In all other states.
The graduates OF other universities
coming to Nevada, find themselves
in many respects far less fitted to
cope with the professional, industrial
and economic demands here than our
own University graduates.
On the other hand, the University
OF Nevada is supplementing that por.
ton or feature Of its training which
relates to Nevada alone with as broad
and solid an education along general
or universal lines as any of the larg-
er universities are able to give.
The University of Nevada opens on
August 30th, and every young man and
young woman in Nevada seeking an
education, who can find the oppor-
tunity to pursue course there should
do so.

HOPE AGAINST HOPE
NO GERMAN BREAK
Speculation Rife As To What Excuse
Kaiser Will Give For Drown
Ing Americans On Arabic
BY United Press.


WASHINGTON Aug. 21.-Oficials
are still hopeful no break with Ger
many will result on account of the
sinking of the Arabic. Explanations
are expected from Germany. A high
authority says he does not believe the
differences are irreconcilable.
The president will not tolerate a
slap in the face but intends to consid-
er whatever the German foreign office
may have to say. He hopes for an
amicable adjustment.
But based on the theories already
advanced by Germany there is small
hope on the part of official Washington
that satisfactory explanations can be
given.
Some suggest that Germany may
try to contend that the Arabic was
summarized because she was convoy
ed. or tried to ram the submarine or
tried to escape.
The situation is tense The admin
istration is awaiting the survivors
