appear to be holding their own. They
have thus far prevented the Germans
from crossing the Dvina at Friedrich
stadt, where a battle has been in prog

rested the German offensive between
that point and the Gulf Of Riga, and
still are holding their ground between
Kovno and Wilma and before Grodno,
although the Germans have approached
the outer position Of the Grodno

In the opinion of military writer's

chance of winning the race for time.

MISSISSIPPI LAW LEGAL.
Law of Mississippi is
Upheld by High Court.

Washington, June 1.-The United
States supreme court today upheld
the constitutionality of the Mississippi
anti fraternity law.
The first case to come before the
supreme court. involving the consti-
tutionality of a state anti-fraternity
law, was that of j. p. Waugh, who
sought admission to the University
of Mississippi
Waugh was a member of Kappa
Sigma fraternity at Millsaps college,
Miss. In 1912 he applied for admis
sion to the law school of the Uni
versity of Mississippi, but was denied
admittance because he refused to sign
an "anti-fraternity pledge not to aid
the organization of perpetuation of
any fraternity while member of the
university. He filed a suit to compel
the university authorities to admit
him, contending that the anti frater-
nifty law enacted by the state of Mis-
sissippi in 1912 was unconstitutional.
One of the grounds on which the
law was attacked originally was that
it barred Greek letter fraternities, in
themselves harmless institutions, from
the state university. This point was
not urged before the supreme court.
The law was attacked on the ground
that it worked determinations as
to honors, diplomas and distinctions
as between students in the university
at the time the law was passed and
those fraternity members who later
became students at the university

WILSON'S CABINET DECIDES ON
SECOND NOTE, ASKING GER
MANY DIRECT QUESTION.
MAY YSEvERRELATAIONS
II German Government Indicates Disre-

Principles, Severance of Relations
May Folows-At Work on Note.

Washington, ID. c., Jlne 1.-The cab
met today decided on the preparation
of a second note to Germany. 1t is be-
lieved that the cabinet favors a brief
note to Germany, asking whether Ger
many's reply is intended as a disre-
gard for the fundamental principles of
international law.
If Germany's reply indicates a dis
regard of these hitherto accepted prin.
ciples, the United States will probably
sever diplomatic relations.
1t is understood that President VIII.
son is impressed by the virtually unan-
imous American editorial opinion yes
terday on the German notes evasion.
President Wilson is expected to be-
gin shaping the note tonight.

CLOSING EX-
ERCISES Of
ST. AG Ne 8
p U p L S ACQUlT THEMSELVES
NOBLY AT ANNUAL COMMENCE
MENT EXERCISES AT ROBSON
OPERA HOUSE.

The pupils of st. Agnes Academy
acquitted themselves nobly at their
annual commencement exercises at
the Robson Opera House last night
and the work of the pupils reflect
great credit upon the pa nstaking abil-
ity of the Mother Superior, Sister
Mary Thomas, and her corps of able
assistants
The operettas by the pupils and
the individual solos and recitations
by members of the school were all of
very high order and elected repeated
applause from the large audience
present.
Rev. Father Ketchum, head of the
Indian Catholic missionaries, with
headquarters at Washington, d. c.,
was present and delivered an address
to the class. In speaking of the ef-
ficiency of the school here, he stated
that he had visited all the schools
under his supervision in the United
States, but nowhere had he found
one superior to ST. Agnes, He paid
a glowing tribute to the Sisters for
their efficient work and also to Father
Wallrapp, for his supervision of the
school.
The presentation of diplomas was
made by Rev. Father Van Weess of
Pauls Valley, who also delivered the
closing remarks of the exercises.
The introductions of the visiting
clergymen were made by Rev. Father
Wallrapp of this city.
1t would be useless to attempt to
eXtol the individual members and
the different numbers of the lengthy
program; sufficient to say that every
one of the seventy-fiye pupils present
acquitted themselves in manner
fitting to their training. The school
here is a government contract school
and the Indians who attend show the
effects of the training of Father
Wallrapp, Sister Mary Thomas, and
the entire crops of teachers, and was
the subject of great praise by Father
Ketchum.
