SOLDIER STUDENT
RECEIVES Degree
(By Associated Press.l

PARIS, August 11.-For the first
time in its history the old university
of Paris, the Sorbonne, has just con-
ferred the degree of bachelor of sci
ence upon an Alpine Chasseur in
campaign uniform, on crutches and
with one eye only free from head
bandages.
The soldier candidate was George
Habert scarcely more than gamin OF
Paris, who interrupted his studies to
enlist at the age of seventeen. With
the 18th battalion of Alpine Chasseurs
he participated in the assaults upon
Hartmannsweilerkop and helped car
ry the German trenches at the point
of the bayonet Grievously wounded In
the head, he fell into German trench
and was a captive for quarter-of-an-
hour: his comrades, determined not to
leave him in the enemy's hands, woa
the trench by supreme effort.
Trepanning saved Herbert who went
back to his books during his conval-
escent leave and passed his examina-
ton brilliantly.
Commencement exercises and prize
distributions everywhere in France
were the occasions of patriotic mani
festations. At the Ecole Alsacienne
the ceremony was presided over by
General Malleterre, who lost his leg in
the Argonne during the battle of the
Marne
Among the successful candidates for
the baccalaureate at the University of
Nancy was Marcel Herrette, sergeant
in the French infantry at II years of
age. Wounded at the Eparges, he had
rejoined his regiment and fought until
two days before the examinations. He
returned to the front after graduating,
two days before his leave expired and
was killed while leading a charge the
first day.
The youngest bachelor of the year
is, no doubt, Leonce de Castelnau, the
youngest son of General Curieres de
Castelnau. He graduates at Toulouse
University at he age of Is by special
dispensation, being year under the
prescribed age.
In many of the lyceums and colleges
the roll of honor, comprising the
names of all former students that have
been killed Or wounded or have dis
tinguished themselves, was read. Per-
haps the record belongs to the Janson
de Sally Lyceum, with 100 Gead, 1870
prisoners, $40 wounded, 2 crosses and
p chevaliers of the legion of honor.

GERMAN STORES PROMISE

(By Associated Press.)

HAMBURG, Aug. 1.-THE "Associa-
ton of German Department Stores"
has begun a propaganda among it's
members for assuring vacations to as
many employees as possible this sum
mer, and to give preference in granting
leaves to such employees as were un-
able to get away last year, because of
the breaking out of the war
Female employees to replace men for
a short period, it is pointed out, are
available in large numbers. and it is
urged to give the women employed so
far as it is possible vacations too, as a
means of guarding against illness from
breakdown in the fall and winter.

HOLLANDS QUEEN
SkILLFUL athlete
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. II.
Queen Wilhelmina is now often seen
taking her little daughter Princess
Juliana for boating trip on the small
lakes in the vicinity of the House in
the Wood, her summer palace near the
Hague, and her Majesty needs no
waterman to row her skiff. She is quite
at home with pair of SOULS and de-
lights in the exercise. Last Sunday
morning, as on many summer Sundays,
the Royal mother was watched by
crowds of visitors to the seat of the
LoWlands government as she rowcd
steadily about the lake, while her
daughter cast tiny net in an effort to
catch some of the small fish which
swarm in the water.
Most of the people who watched the
Queen and her daughter were tourists
from other parts of Holland, taking
advantage Of the absence of the Gus
tomary, crowds of foreign visitors
kept away by war-to see the residen-
tial city of their sovereign.
