ITS CARGO WORTH MILLIONS
German Submarine Liner Deutschland
Brought Over Valuable Drugs and
Medicines This Time.

New London. Conn, Nov. 2-The
cargo of the submarine liner Deutsch-
land, which arrived here early this
morning, is said to include valuable
drugs and rare medicines, shut off
from America by the war, and is said
to be valued at around million dol
lars. The Deutschland will take back
nickel and rubber of nearly equal
value to use in hospitals and for mu-
nitions.
Captain Koenig, reticent about talk
ing in the early hours, promised news
paper men that during the day he
would detail to them in his graphic
style the whole story of the second
journey.
The Bremen is indefinitely known to
be lost This was confirmed from
members of the DeutschIand's crew.
The submersible, which was scheduled
to arrive here soon after the Deutsch-
land visited Baltimore, is not believed
to have been captured, however.

Vessels Chartered.

San Francisco, Nov ITO take ad-
vantage of the high price of wheat in
the United States. BalfoYr, Guthrie
& Co. announced today that they pro-
posed shipping large quantities of ce-
real from Australia, where this years
crops have been unusually heavy
The announcement was made follow
ing the report that the 4-Inasted
schooners Snow and Burgess had been
chartered by a San Francisco firm to
bring wheat from Melbourne to Sar
Francisco.
This is the first time, it is said, that
wheat has been shipped from Austria
liza to California
Broomhall, the leading English au-
thority, says the Australian wheat
crop this year will yield so million
bushels surplus for export, and that
at least SO million of last years crop
remains in the country. so the total
exportable surplus in Australia is
about $50 million bushels.

AMBITIONS OF THE co-EBs
Only One Girl at State University Ad
mits Aspirations to Matrimony-
Many to Be Teachers

Mafrfmony is my intended yocat
tion, wrote one young woman stu
dent in the University of Kansas in
giving information required in enroll
ing OF. the 1,098 women students in
the university she was the only one
even to hint she expected to be mar
ried. Seven hundred and nine of her
university sisters expressed ambition
to be teachers.
While IS per cent of the university
women say they expect to become
teachers, Kansas women are refusing
to stick to the one profession dedi-
Gated to women and are reaching out
into other work. One woman entered
the school of engineering this year;
another the school of law. One wom-
an hopes for a motion picture career,
another says she's going to be mere
ly plain business woman, four are
specializing in dramatic art and one
prospective missionary is enrolled
with two medical missionaries among
the fifteen women who are studying
medicine.
Three women arctic be druggists,
four wish to be nurses, one bankers to
do entomologist illustrating, another
Graves photography. Two women will
strive to Guido man in scientific re-
search, three hope to be expert tech
nicians, one is preparing to be Ii
brarian, twenty-seven are acquiring
nose for news" in the journalism field
while two are cultivating the "gift of
gab' so vitality necessary to lecture
work
An assayist, a bacteriologist and an
decorator will intrude into
more of the fields men are supposed
to want to keep for themselves, four
will become physical instructors; two,
social service workers, and two play
ground workers. OF the remaining 312
women students in the university 100
plan to be teachers of public music or
concert players, 100 signified no in
tended vocation and thirty-two admit
ted they were undecided, which may
mean an addition to the solitary mat
class or more teachers.

Sinking of British Ship Marina
Threatens to Start a Tech
nicaI Discussion.
SAY THE VESSEL WAS ARMED
Question of Aiming of Merchantmen
Probably Will Prevent a Clean
Cut Issue in Case.

Washington, Nov $50 many con-
flicting elements have appeared in the
destruction of the British ship Marina
by German submarine with the loss
of American lives that the incident
threatens TO fall into a technical dis
cussion rather than a clean cut issue
of whether Germany has violated it's
pledges to the United States
1t became quite APPARENT today both
from the attitude of the State Depart
ment and from the dispatches from
abroad, that much which is essential
to a determination of the responsible
ity remains undisclosed, if, indeed,
the United States, Germany or Great
Britain are in poss ession of the full
facts. 1t appeared certain, however,
that no move will be made by the
United States until the German YER
sion of the affair, as well as that of
the destruction of the British ship
Rowanmore by shell fire with endan-
gering of American lives, has been
obtained.
Bernstorff Asks Details.
The only positive developments to-
day were the action of Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
in asking his government to forward
full details by wireless. and the issu-
ance of a statement by Secretary Lam
sing that the investigation would be
in no wise delayed because there is
a political campaign in progress.
While they await full details, two
outstanding facts attracted the atten-
ton of officials.
One was the announcement that the
Marina was armed with a 47-inch gun,
mounted astern; the other was a news
dispatch from London, the language
of which was regarded as significant.
1t said:
Washington investigating.
1T is regarded here as quite prob
able that the American State Depart
ment will make still further inquiries
with the object of definitely determin-
ing the status of the Marina While
it is said that she was under private
charter when she was torpedoed, it
appears that the vessel may have en-
gagged in admiralty work not long be-
fore"

N0N-FRAT MEN LEAD AT X. u.
Registrar Fosters Report Also Shows
That the Sorority Girls Have
the Best Grades.

A study of University Of Kansas
scholarship made public recently by
Registrar George o. Foster shows that
sorority members lead non-sorority
women students in the university,
while nonfraternity men have lead
over fraternity members
The study is an exhaustive one,
showing the records of every organic
alton in almost every possible group
in school, in all numbering $50. Stand
ings are made on the basis of grades
of "I' and "II' made by the students.
Grades of iii" and failures are
counted the same
The report shows that S4.3S per cent
of the grades made by sorority mem
bers were '1I's'' and IT'S" or above so.
The non-sororfty average was 1866,
the entire university 68.61; non-frater-
nifty 63.55, fraternity SO; colored
women 54.24 and colored men 1886.
Kappa Alpha Theta led the national
sororities with 92.16 with Pi Beta Phi
second. Kappa Kappa Gamma third,
and Sigma Kappa fourth.
Delta Tau Delta led the national
fraternities with a 67.45 percentage,
with Acacia second, Kappa Sigma
third, Alpha Tau fourth, Beta fifth,
and Fl Kappa Alpha sixth.
Among the athletes, baseball players
were the lowest with a percentage of
1855. Tennis players led with 96.4S,
track second with 1926. basketball
67.7S. football 55.67.
The highest average for any one
division is for non-sorority women in

and 67.95. had averages higher than
