New York. Marcl 2D-The sinking
Of three battleships in the Dardanelles
occurred after change had been
made in the commanding admirals OF
the allied fleet. Vice Admiral Garden
was succeeded March 10 by Admiral De
Robeck. The disaster occurred March
IS.
1t is apparent, therefore, that Ad'
miral Garden S cautious procedure IN
his efforts to destroy the Dardanelles
Notifications by firing overland has
not met the approval of First Lord
Winston Churchill aud his advisers IN
tae British admiralty, The change in
commanders undoubtedly was made to
replace Garden 5 caution with a policy
of greater daring. The result, however,
seems to confirm the more sober Judg
ment Of Admiral arden.
No other engagement of the war mas
resulted in as severe loss on either
side The British and French fleets
cannot afford to lose battleships at
this rate for any length of time, and
it is presumable that less radical pol
icy will dictate future operations at
the Dardanelles.
A comparison OF the damage inflicted
by forts and mines shows that tine lat

As you pass through the streets Of
Arundel you see, hanging in the win

In the great million-dollar cathedral

W.U. STUDENTS MAY TRY
GOVERNMENT PLAN
Canvas of Students Indicates
That Majority Favor New
System Of Rule

A systematic canvass has been made
of the students to discover their at
titude toward sefgOyernment. Re-
suits show that cighty.five per cent
are in favor, ten per cent opposed to-,
and five per cent believe the time is
not ripe for such action, The subject
has been agitated about school for
over year. No decisive action how
ever has ever taken place.
In practically all the places where
this plan has been put into action it
has given successful results, The
students feel responsibility which
tends to fit them for life out of
school when they meet real business
conditions; their executive abilities
are developed for they realize that
what they undertake must be made a
success, for they themselves are re.
sponsible and in ease Of failure would
assume the blame, in place of the
faculty.
Likewise student selfgovernment is
beneficial to thu faculty, inasmuch as
they are enabled to devote all theiI
time to their departmental work; the
worry of student affairs is removed
from their minds and they are able ia
concentrate along the lines Of first
Importance.
Action will be taken as soon as pos
sible to decide whether W. L. shall
have student government. A number
of the faculty are heartily in favo,
Of it, masmuch as it is in keeping
with the modern trend of educational
progression.

London, Mar, l.--(By mail TO New
York. There is no coascriptpn in
England. But there is form Of per.
suasion, "that is just as effective, by
which Lord Kitchener 5 army has, in
part, been made up.
The big land owners are among the
most effective recruiters that England
has today. There are parts Of the lit
tie island Of England where one may
stand on high hill and look about him
with field glasses and know that every
inch of land, as far as he can see, is
owned by one man. On this land are
small villages. These villages have
their homes, their business streets their
public libraries, their hotels and rail.
road stations and postoffices, but every
institution in the village and every per
son exists in that district by permission
of the duke or lord who owns the land.
TO these persons in such villages the
goodwill Of the landowner is Of more
Importance than the goodwill Of the
king. Oils grace" as the tenants
call him, possesses an almost unlimited
power over the lives and actions Of the
tenants.
fHis grace" in one Of these small
towns, has only TO publically express
his wish that every able bodied young
man in the place shall enlist and after
that wish is expressed woe betide the
young man, who, several weeks later,
without good reason, is still found
within the village precincts, The old
men and the women reyile him and
girls Of the village "cut him' dead.

and that is to go TO war;
