Russians Close Bosporus.

PETROGRAD, April 21.-The Rus sian Black sea fleet has cornered the Turkish ships which left the Golden Horn several days ago for opera tions in the Black sea. Mine-laying vessels have completely blocked the entrance to the Bosporus, preventing the ships returning to Constantinople while the ships prevent mine sweep CTS clearing the mined zone. The Russian fleet is now seeking the Turk ish boats which have sought shelter in some port of Turkey. If possible the ships will be forced to fight against the superior Russian fleet be- fore the Turks can concentrate the fleet, which has been divided, part remaining near Constantinople while the other half made the raid.

Chicago must have two national con.
ventions next year.
II is the only big city with sum.
mer convention climate.
Don't forget that.
And It has the accommodation for
q convention that no other city can
boast of.
Don't forget that, either.
~
In the meantime Chicago people are
going to work hard to bring both Ma.
tional Conventions here. A guarantee
fund has to be raised first, and Fred
w. Upham, who is chairman Of the
committee on finances, started out to
get subscriptions. There Is commit.
tee Of twenty.one in charge Of the
work of raising the necessary money.
There are seven republicans, seven
democrats and seven members of the
Chicago Association Of Commerce on
the committee to make It wholly
non.partlsan project. II Is agreed that
only one.half Of the money subscribed
will be collected in the event that
Chicago gets only one Of the big
conventions.
I'VE want both of them. and It will
be the best business proposition Chi.
cago has undertaken In years." said
Mr.. Upham. I'VE might entertain one
convention for 100000, whereas the
cost Of taking care of both conven.
tons probably would not exceed
100000. With two conventions there
could be a saving Of $4,000 In ar.

few people outside Holland have
heard Of the university of Amers.

months old embraces on its faculty
some Of the most educational institu.
tions in that its professors establish
their own "chairs" choose their own
subjects, and treat them as they wish
They are bound by no official rules
and harrassed by no traditions. The
student enjoys similar freedom. He
undergoes no admission examination,
chooses his own courses of study and
completes them whenever he thinks
he has had enough.
Professors and students are mem.
bers of the Belgian refuge colonies in
Holland. After the fall of Antwerp
a large number of Belgian troops
crossed the Dutch frontier and were
interned at Amersfoort for the dura-
ton of the war. The folly of keeping
together large body of men with
nothing to occupy their time or to
break the monotony of their daily life
was at once realized. Professor
Shrijnen of the University of Utrecht
made an appeal to refugee Belgian
professors, and in January the first
term of the University of Amersfoort
was opened with a hundred students
enrolled. The first course offered was
in pedagogy. under Professor Collard
Of the University of Louvain.
