Austrian representatives in the United

said TO be given them by American
citizens.

COST OF CoLLEGE EDUCATION.

(Trenton, n. J., State Gazette)
According to figures compiled by
the Yale News, the average yearly eX-
penditures of freshmen and sopho-
mores at the university was a triie
more than $1,000. During junior and
senior years it was som ething more
than $1,1OO. The largest amount
spent by a senior was $500, the
smallest $3.50. During the other years
there was also the same wide diff
ference Some freshmen got through
on $500.
During the past decade or so the
average of college expenses has con-
siderably increased. The same may
be said Of preparatory schools The
cost of higher education has advanced
but the jump has not been in all
probability greater than the increased
cost of living in ordinary life.
Many colleges and universities
have also advanced their actual
charges TO the students. These
charges, however, are only a fair
proportion of the expenses of the stu
dents.
The Harvard university CORPORA
ton has just decided to increase the
annual tuition fee from $3.50 to 5000
This step is necessary, il is asserted
because the yearly deficit of the cor
poration il $4,000. The income of
the university is not sufficient to meet
its running expenses

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

for that sort of military service do
patriotic young men offer themselves
OF course, this charge is not true.
Some of the largest employers of
labor, like Judge Gary, are opposed to
the use of the National Guard for
strike service. But this kind of police
duty is unfair to the National Guard.
1t is not the kind of service for which
the averague guardsman's years and
training fit him, and it cannot cause
much wonder that men who otherwise
would be glad to enlist for military
service hesitate to enlist.

KRONPRINz ENDS
CAREER AS RAIDER
Interns at Newport News
Long Before Expiration
of Her Time.
From The Tribune Bureau !

Washington, April 26.-Acting under
orders from the German government,
and many days prior to the expiration
of her time, the Kronprinz Wilhelm
ended her sensational career as a com
merce destroyer late this afternoon by
interning at Newport News.
This action came as a surprise TO
naval officers. who had believed, be-
cause the Kronprinz was faster than
the Eitel and because she started to-
day loading J 400 tons of coal, that she
would make a dash to sea.
Notice of the KronprinZ's decision 70
intern was delivered 10 the govern
ment within q. hour ct the signing
by Secretary Daniels of the report by
officials Of the survey board on the
amount of coal and supplies, and the
repairs necessary for tho Kronprinz 70
reach the nearest German port. This
report would have allowed the kron-
prinz 400 tons of coal and vast
quantity Of supplies.
When the Eitel put in her requisi-
ton for supplies, one of the items was
a large quantity of beer. With twice
the crew of the Eitel, the kronprlnz's
failure to ask for any beer was Joking
" said to be absolutely indicative that
the Kronprinz intended to intern, or
that she had a small brewing plant on
board.
The officers Of the Kronprinz will be
paroled until the end of the war.
There was much speculation in navy
circles tonight as to why the decision
of the Kronprinz to intern was so
promptly announced. 1t was argued
that had she kept her intentions quiet
she would have held the five allied war
ships off the capes until she informed,
which would seem to be good strategy.
One explanation offered was that pos
sibly the Karlsruhe wished clear field
for dash to shelter, and the speedy
informing Of the Kronprinz would again
throw the allied ships Off their guard,
as was done by tho interning Of the
Etel, which gave tho kronprinz &
chanc to slip in.
Newport News, Va, April 26.-Lieu-
tenant Captain Thierfelder, of the
Kronprinz Wilhelm, said tonight,
when the internment Of the vessel was
announced, that he had intended to at
tempt a dash past the Allied warships,
but that the illness Of more than sixty
Of his sailors with beri-beri would
make that impossible before the eX-
piration Of the time that the United
States government granted to make

them in the neighborhood of Uzsok

Austria claims to have gained a con-

an the Carpathians, in the sector
east of Uzsok Pass, we captured yester-
day q new vantage point to the south
east Of Koziowa, taking several officers
and more than 1000 men prisoners.
ITO regain the height which they had
lost the Russians made several counter
attacks. and also attacked the neigh
boring districts, especially the height
Of Ostry and position to the east OF
Ostry. All the attacks were repulsed
with heavy Russian losses. Two Rus

were taken.
