EMPEROR FRANCES JOSEPH WILL MAKE

WILL JOIN AUSTRIA IN BIG CAMPAIGN
AUSTRIAN AND RUSSIAN
CLAIMS DIFFER WIDELY
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, April 14-The Austrian an
nouncement that the Russians have
been checked in the Carpathians is
disputed from Petrograd, where it is
asserted further Russian advances have
been made.
Uziok Pass, apparently, holds the
key to the situation in the Carpathian
region, and this point continues to
successfully resist the Russian as
saults. A tremendous body OF troops
is now pounding upon the Austrian
defense there, however, and momen-
tous results are likely to ocucr at any
time.

VASSAR HAS LOST
COVERT
Purchase of Farm by College
Robs II of Charms
for Girls.

Vasssr has bought a 100-acre farm.
To the outsider this implies merely a
real estate transaction. To alumna
and 10 students it means that enlarg-
ing boundaries have swept away from
a little tract of land the charms Of
"over-the- fence" which have given it
a place of its own in the affections OF
many college generations.
The farm lies between the neatly
kent walled campus and the open coun-
try. Time after time little groups Of
early isers have left their skirts at
the fve-barred gate that separates the
farm from the campus 10 go on over a
lettering, frost-covered rail across a
little brook and up Sunrise Hill" in
the greater freedom Of boomers.
The little brook made the farm espo-
cially desirable for picnics. The rules
say firmly: Fires may not be made
on the college campus except under the
supervision Of one of the employees
Men may be obtained on application to
the janitor's Office" The presence OF
an elderly chaperon from the janitor's
Office would put damper on any pic
mic party.
But across the fence no such rules
were in force. Beneath an apple tree
at the turn of the brook there was a
little stone fireplace which had been
from group to group of seniors for col
lege generations. One year some es-
pecially enterprising owners built a
dam across the brook 70 make a pool
under the tree, and henceforth their
meetings were spoken of with seeming
profanity as dam parties"
When picnics were continued till af-
ter dark there was one especially ex-
citing route home which led through
a little cemetery, with gleamingly
white hesdstones. On Halloween and
All Saints Day the walk beside the
cemetery was especially dear to the
few who knew that there would be
hundreds Of candles burning in the
long grass to light the way of the
spirits back TO their graves.
Such was the farm in the old days.
Two years ago the owner issued an
edict closing his land TO Vassar girls
Z md precipitAting a state Of. border
warfare. Popular tradition has it that
he met two girls wading in the brook
one day when he was walking with a
friend. and decided that he must pro-
tect future visitors from such a shock
A less picturesque but more credible
version says that he was angry at the
refusal of the college to allow his
wagons right OF way over college
land.
Whatever the cause, it is asserted he
announced to divers persons on street
corners that he would 20 after the next
Vassa- girl he met on the farm with his
dog and his shotgun. Thereafter the
Saturday and Sunday mixers started out
on the roads and wore skirts over THEN
boomers.
Now all hope of regaining the free.
dom OF the farm Is past. There will
never again be the same spice in vent
uring upon it that existed when II was
"over-the-fence." Pumpkins may still
be raised upon it, but every one a.
Vassar knows the taste of college
pumpkin too we'll TO feel like bandit
when she steals one. Dam parties anC
stone fireplace and the Joy Of stealing
across forbidden territory at night OF
dawn have vanished with simple

That the revenue Of japan Is begin
ming TO prove unequal to the strain put
upon II by the ever-inereasins demands
Of the army and navy is shown by the
desperate financial expedients that are
hang adopted. Some years ago the
foreign bondholders began 70 show dis
sstisfaetion with the financial admin
istration in Japan, and as eonse-
ouencs there was o serious fall in the
nrice of the bonds. An official an
nouncement was made by the Katsura
ministry that the annual transfer TO
the sinking fund Of yen 5O,ooo,OoO'
which was decided upon IN 1909, would
bs maintained. AS result, the bonds
recovered In price.
Now the government has seknoWi-
edged that II Is unable 70 carry out this
undertaking, and only yen So,OOo'ooO
per annum is 70 be set aside for the
REDEMPTION Of the national debt. In
view of the fact that the government
has announced that the army is to be
still further increased, and that the In
crease By 1.-TWO divisions has necessitat-
ed the curtailment Of the. policy Of debt
reduction that has hitherto maintained
the price Of japanese bonds abroad, it
is safe TO assume that instead Of tho
national debt being reduced It will be
Increased In fact, as q table prepared
by a leading japanese economist clearly
proves. the debt has been steadily in
creasing instead Of diminishing for
many years past.
