Cambridge No Longer
A Domestic Institution
As the Result of War
British Students Leave Their
Studies and Go to Front to
Fight for Country.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
CAMBRIDGE. Eng, Jan. 22.-Cam-
bridge has practically ceased to DO a
domestic institution. and its academic
life is sustained almost entirely by
alien and colonial students. This re-
semblance to a-.foreign university,
planted in the classic confines Of the
seat Of learning, is intensified by the
presence here of the faculty and some
of the student body OF the University
of Lolvain.
With the exception Of the medical
school, none of the colleges has more
than handful of British students.
Perhaps the greatest sufferer from
the war has been Corpus Christi Col
lege, which does not admit men of
colored races to Its rolls. This col
lege has seven undergraduates in res
idence and since most Of Its sons are
either with the military forces or do
ing government work Of some sort,
the great hall is closed and the STU
dents and their instructors dine in
their own quarters. IA
Each college has a great hall OF
baronial appearance and capacity
where its members dine In state, the
master with his dons at tables on
dais while below on the main floor the
undergraduates gather about long
tables. Most OF these halls, formerly
centers of traditional English good
cheer, are now places Of gloom where
by dim candle light, enforced on &C
count of the Zeppelin peril, a few Of
the elderly faculty members gather
with their alien and crippled student
body in pathetic effort to keep alive
a glorious tradition. ~
Trinity with its normal enrolment
of GOO students does not show the
ravages of war as much as the other
colleges, but this does not mean that
it has not been as patriotic as the
others, but on account Of its enroll
ment, far in the lead Of any Of its RI
walls and the further fact that it num-
bers many aliens among its under
graduates, the college can still muster
hundred men. Headed by DR.. But
Ter, the venerable and venerated mas
ter Of the college. who is assisted by
Vice Master Henry Jackson, o. NJ, one
Of the greatest of Cambridge teachers,
the faculty and men Of Trinity gather
in the great hall in a brave effort to
uphold the continuity Of Cambridges
royal college. But fear Of lapse
In the continuity necessary to carry
on the precious traditions Of the uni
versity is in every heart, and some
times finds expression in grim deter
mination to hold on at any cost save
any step which would prevent Cam
bridge men from doing their duty to
their country.
1t is whispered that next year there
will be no freshmen of the type who
have made Cambridge, and even
should new men come, there will be
no old men to instruct them in the
fine points OF student custom which
mean so much to an ancient uniyer-
sity. The ray. Of hope for those who
entertain such fears is provided by
the great public schools which are
expected to keep alive enough of the
Cambridge tradition to provide basis
for the students who will throng Its
colleges when the war is over.

BANDITS HOLD
!. UP AH0SP|TAL
Leave Chicago Women with
Hands RAISED, and Flee
with $500 Payroll

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Smug gentle
men robbers, travelling casually In a
taxicab, robbed st. Luke's hospital OF
$4,000 and left the cashier and forty
nurses, hands uplifted, while they
raced back to their cab and escaped,
with revolver pressed into the chaut-
feur's ribs. N'3F7f
The robbery was timed to the min
ute. The two robbers drove in front
Of the Indiana avenue entrance of the
hospital. In the offices Miss Nellie
Tobin, the cashier, was paying on the
hospital star. "
A little earlier she had brought a
cash box with $4,000 into her office
and had paid out around 1880 to
nurses and ohter employees. AS the
robbers entered there were between
thirty and forty employees ranged in a
line waiting for their turn at the cash
ier's window.
The two men entered with drawn re-
volvers. They were fashionably dress
cd in dark suits, fur trimmed over
coats and black derby hats. Each car.
ried revolver.
"Up with your hands or yo'll get
shot, came the crisp, business like
order OF the taller one, and Instantly
Miss Tobin and the employees raised
their hands. =.
Now give me that box he COM
mandedI, and seized the cash box from
the cashiers desk. Their revolvers
still pointed, they backed out Of the
door. The. smaller of the two took
his departure first and reached the
taxlcab. Then the other hurried out.
The smaller man carried a travel
ing bag, into which had been thrust
the box with the money. AS tho larger
man left he broke into a run for the
machine at the curb. Reaching 1t,
he leaped in and pressed his revolver
into the chauffeur's back.
"Drive like hell" he commended,
and the machine leaped ahead. AT
Prairie avenue the large man ordered
the chauffeur to turn north.
Nov STOP" he called. The chauf-
feur did SO. The robbers leaped out,
dropped a IS bill into the drivers hand
and ordered him to move on.

NEW WORKERS
ARE F:L {
Each Year They Pay $780,
100000 Too Much for
Food, Says Dillon.

The startling statement has Just
been made by John j. Dillon, commits
sioner of foods and markets in New
York state, that the people Of New
York City pay $2O0,OOOOOO more for
their food each year than there is any
good reason to charge them. This
sum represents the difference between
the price at the docks and terminals
and the highest price at which the
same goods can possibly be sold in
the legitimate course of merchandise
ing; in other words, It represents
graft,
New York City's annual food bill,
according to Mr.. Dillon, amount to
sSOO,OOO,OOo a year. That is four
times the value of the entire fruit
and food crop raised for export by
the giant state of California. The 81

homes Of the consumers amounts to

"But you find eggs selling at least
fifteen cents over the legitimate price.
And taking the figures from the stor-

money lifted on storage eggs alone by

FARMERS ARE
/" MOVING BACK
Fear Of CONSUMPTION is Caus.
ing Many Young Amerl-
cansto Leave Canada.

Five or six years ago about 100000
Of Iowa's and Nebraska's finest young
farmers went to western Canada to
take up homesteads and make their
fortunes. Now hundreds of these
same men are breaking moving rec
ords to bet back to the old farms in
the American West. Hundreds OF them
walk across the border, quietly, be-
cause they fear they will not be per-
mitted to leave Canada. Others purr
chase round trip railroad tickets and
show the return portion as proof that
they are going into the States on a
visit only. Some had a little cash
when they decided to leave the do
minion, but others were forced to
write to the "oid folks for money
with which to pay their way back to
the old farm. ;
"Amerlcans out in the small towns
and on the farms are in bad UP there
said one young Nebraskan upon arriv-
ing at Omaha. Some Of them are
leaving so hurrledly that they do not
walt long enough to dispose Of their
farms, or even to straighten out their
business affairs. They are being os-
TRACKED by everybody because they
don't go to the war. The people for
get that this is not our fight.
A Case OF Fight or Run.
Everybody trying to leave Canada
is closely questioned at the border and
some are not permitted to leave. Of 1T
looks as though it is a case Of fight or
run and that the young men from the
United States would rather run than
fight for Great Britain.
"When the war broke out we Amer
leans were told that II we would re-
main and raise wheat we could sell 1t
lat good prices and we would not be ex-
pected to enter the army. But 1t is
beginning to look like CONSUMPTION,
and even IL that did not come, they
use every possible pressure to get US
to enlist"
Since the outbreak OF the war emil
grafton to Canada has ceased entire-
ly. So many went from Iowa to west
ern Canada several years ago that the
movement was reflected in the CEN
sus which showed a falling off in the
population for the state. In addition
10 men, the exodus took dollars by the
million out Of Iowa. Almost as many
went from Nebraska as from Iowa.
So great was the movement that spe-
cial trains were run from Omaha d.
rect 10 Winnipeg and other western
Canada cities. The United States gov
eminent finally made an official In
yestigation Of the inducements Of
tfered by the Canadian government to
obtain emigrants from the TRANSMITS
souri, country, but found nothing
amiss. a
Many Fear Coniiscation.
Many Of the returning Americans
say that they fear confiscation Of their
property In Canada, especially home
steads. This, they say. is on the, theory
that those who accepted homesteads
from the Canadian government must
fight for their homes or give them up,
and, II the homesteaders leave the
country and get into the states, they
practically abandon the farms given
them by the dominion. y
