Week.

Irrc basket shooters are plunglng
into q week of intense training IN
uroparaion for the meeting with
University Of Oklahoma in the col
Iegp gymnasium Friday and Satur-
day nights
These will be the most important
games of the season. The Alva games
being the first OF the season, were
valuable i'm pointing out the weak
spots of the machine and showing
parts Of the play to be featured.
The AIva team has played together
for four years and are said to be IN
vincible on their home grounds. The
Kendall men report that the speed
and team work were brilliant.
According to Coach Schmidt Ken
dalrs weak spot developed uneN-
pectcdIy i'm the defense. This shows
that the Alya quintet must have been
remarkable for Handlcy and Grove

TO a minimum last year Young,
Grove and Leakley were tried at cen
fer and none of them were able to
stop the goal shooting of the Alva
pivot
Young also was shifted to guard
TO replace Captain Ilandley and made
a fair showing. Hawley and Fiest
plaved forward alternating with
Young. Hawley proved the star bas-
ket ringer Of the black and gold and
probably won a permanent place for
himself Although Fiest was one Of
the fastest men on the floor he had
difficulty in placing the ball in the
desired resting place.
Although the weeks practice will
be the large determining factor.

LONDON; March 27.-Ninety-seven persons
moulding one American woman, are missing as
result OF the sinking of the Sussex, according to
revised list issued by the British and French gov
ernnents today. Many citizens of the United
States lost their lives in the disaster. The exact
number had not yet been announced, but it will
range between 20 and 80 souls.
More than half dozen Americans have sworn
to afidavits declaring their belief that the Sussex
was torpedoeo without warning. The erroneous
reports in circulation Saturday to the effect that
Miss Elizabeth Baldwin was dead were corrected
this morning. She is severely wounded, but not
fatally.
International Crisis Approaching.
Five allied merchantmen have been sunk with
IN the last "a hours by German submarines. They
were the Corne, khartoun, SteeCilla and Feney
Brodge, all English steamers. The French Ship
Hebe which was also torpedoed suffered heavy
loss of life II is also feared from the reports of
two survivors that the fatality list of the khartoun
will mount high.

the Mediterranean has been confirmed by the Eng

Germans Raise Wages
OF Women Employed On
Munitions For Warfare


Berlin, Feb. 1s--IA an effort to see
that workers. particularly women, en-
gagged in the manufacture of army
materials receive fair wage, the gov
eminent has imposed upon contrac-
tors certain definite wages which they
are ordered to pay. Violations are
followed by loss or contracts, and
sometimes severer penalties.
Notwithstanding the threatened
penalties certain contractors perpet-
ualIy try in the most ingenious, petty
ways to Sweat their workers.
The women ma king straps for SOL
diers' TASKS, for instance, were or
dered put on a piece work basis of 1 5
pfennigs per strap. They previously
had been paid a straight sum per

Opening of Danube
Not So Important
As First Appeared

Berlin, Feb 18-Important as the
opening of the Danube may be for.
the Central Powers during the con-
tinuance of the war, the hopeful pro-
phecies for the future that have been
based thereon are not justified by the
streams economic history, according
to a writer in the Vorwaerts. A ty-
picaI prophecy, one of scores that
have appeared in newspapers and
magazines, is that of DR.. Paul Lenschi
In the magazine Greater Germany,
where he asserts that the opening OF
the Danube will open the water
route to Central Europe for Humans

The article in Vorwaerts asserts
that before the war, when the stream
was open to all traffic the average
yearly traffic upstream and down
stream at all Austrian stations, from
Passau to Pressburg and including
Vienna, was about 1 IL million TONS
Traffic on the River Spree in Berlin
and Char1ottenburg averages about
nine million tons. Significant of the
inability of the Danube route to con-
pete with other routes is the fact that
up to 1903 bar-iron from the great
Austrian ironworks in Witkowitz was
shipped to Rumania via Oderberg
and Hamburg and thence by the sea
route to Ga1atz. In 1903, when Aus
tria succeeded in securing a cheap
rate from the Austrian Lloyd for the
Levantine trade, the iron was sent via
Triest to GaIatz. Even then the
Danube did not come into considera-
ton.
Still less did it play any part so far
as Germany was concerned. To send
a ton of wheat over the Danube from
Galatz to Mayence cost up to a few
years ago ST marks per ton; by the
sea route, 10 to 10 marks.
The negligible role played by the

chief obstacle, however, is presented
by the so-caIIed Iron Gate below

creases from four centimeters (slight-
~ more than 1 1-2 inches) in the kill

gave the Iron Gate it's present form,
a test showed that a tug of8O0 horse

exacts a toll of 2.29 francs per ton
for the passage, but the traffic has
remained so inconsequential that ex-
penses of maintaineQce and the inter-
est on the 81 million crowns spent ION
the work have never been met by the
income. The government, indeed, has
had to make up a deficit running into
the millions.

expression made seventy years ago by

MONSIEUR JUssERAND.

Monsieur Jean Adrien Antoine Jules
lJusserand, who has lived for nearly
fourteen years in the French Embas-
sly in Washington, will pass his sixty
first milestone to-day. The Ambas-
Isador EXTRAORDINARY and P1enipoten-
tiary from Europe's greatest repub-
lie to the capital Of the great New
World democracy has from the first
enjoyed a wide popularity, not only
among the officials at Washington, but
among the American people at large.
His attitude during the war in which
his nation is engaged has augmented
the respect in which he is held by
Americans, for he has adopted a quiet
and dignif1ed policy which has served
the ends of his country better than
any amount OF words. Rightly con-
sidering that the American people are
not fools, to be won over by the soft
SOAP of hattery, nor children to be
deceived by cunning sophistries, he
has had the sound good sense to let
well enough alone and 4tstick to his
Knitting It is quite evident from
his demeanor in these critical times
that M. Jusserand has well improved
his. time, in gaining acquaintance with
the people Of the nation to which he
lis accredited, since he came to Wash
ington in 1902. About two years
ago it was rumored that M Jusserand
would be transferred from Washing
ton to London, but the Paris Foreign
Office, on sober second thought, 1decid-
ed that he had made himself too val
liable in his American post to be pro-
NOTED.
GRINDING tenderness'' is the phrase
coined many years ago by M. Jusse-
rand to describe the relations between
the two great republics, and It has
been his constant labor to make even
closer the ties between the nations.
It is generally known that when sew
eraI of the continental powers were
striving to force the United States into
intervention in Mexico, M. Jusserand
sided with the President and his poll
icy of .'watc11ful waiting. It is quite
possible that his influence was the de-
cisive factor in saving America from
a terrible war. NJ. Jusserand mar
