The increase in the number of domestic
science and other students at the State
university this year Is attributed. In
part at least to the institutions sue
cess in placing graduates in positions.
The demand for certain classes OF grad
yates has been so great that there has
not been enough young people to go
round. Professor Floyd r.. jerks Of the
state Agricultural College said Fri
day that eight graduates in domestic
science would occupy this fall positions
IN eight of the eleven junior high schools
Of the State. Everyone of last years
graduates obtained a position and Is
occupying one now. Much the same condi-

the college. Graduates found no trouble
in getting good employment. The college
mad more demands in fact than it could

Professor G.. II. Burrows, Of the de-
partment of chemistry, snd that last
March the demand for chemistry as
sstants had been considerably more than

lions could not lie filled. All OF the grad

been trying to obtain an instructor with

mand partly, II is said because Of the
building up Of the dye industry in the
country and for other reasons growing

war.
The demand for hospital interns has also
exceeded the supply, and the medical
college has done it's share In filling pos
lions out of the annual supply Of grad
yates. The college is able to put all OF
its men into positions who do not actually
intend to practice on their own account.
Prof. !. f. Messenger. head of the
department ~ education. said the de-

that everybody was placed. for certain
teachers preferred certain kinds OF po-

DENIES U. S. is HARMED
BY RUSSO-JAPANESE PACT
Russian Foreign Minister Says It Is
in Harmony With Other
Treaties.

PETRoGRAD. July II, via London,
July 15.-In a statement given to the
Associated Press tonight by Sergius
Sazonon, minister OF foreign affairs,
the minister declares that American
rights are not harmed by the new
Russo-Japanese agreement.
The convention just signed" says
the statement. lis the natural develop
ment OF previous conventions conclud-
ed between Russia and Japan in 1907
and 1910. The former expressly men,
tions the engagement of the contract
ing parties to respect the principle Of
equal opportunity for trade and indus
try In China, and to uphold and de-
fend this principle.
This engagement remains in full
force after the conclusion of the con-
vention of 1915. which has purely a
political and conservative aim, safe
guarding and defending Russian and
japanese territorial rights and special
interests in China against foreign ag-
gression.
The new convention does not inau-
gurate any policy injurious to Ameri-
can rights and interests any more than
the convention Of 1907 and 1910. These
two agreements have proved perfectly
in accordance with the friendly rela-
tons always entertained between the
United States and Russia"
