STRONG APPEALS MADE
FOR FUNDS FOR G. w. u.
Desired to Complete 100000 for
Erection of a Law School

The campaign for the raising of $780,
600 for the erection of law school
building for George Washington Uni

the publication of the Columbian

press, and which contains vigorous ap-
peals for contributions toward the
fund
Already approximately $50 900 of the
amount has been raised. and appeals
for the remainder are made in articles
written for the bulletin, a semi-annual
publication. by Rear admiral Charles
Herbert Stockton. L. :. y. retired.

Six prominent facts are set forth in
the bulletin in connection with the

WAS GLAD TO SURRENDER.
Rumanian Prisoner of War Says He
Looked for Chance.

Correspondence If the Associated Press.
TOERZBURG, Transylvania, October
27-Prisoners of war being not unwfll-
ing to please their captors, their state
ments must be taken with a large pinch
of salt. Though there be no officer of
the enemy present, the prisoner of war
cannot be sure that his statements do
not become known to the powers into
whose hands the fortune of war has
placed him.
The Associated Press correspondent
was able to interview here today two
score Rumanian officers and men who
had fallen into captivity near Rucar,
some twenty miles south of here. No
central power officer was within ear
shot.
One of the first men questioned was
cation and standing. He had served as
a private. Unblushingly he said that he
had looked for chance to surrender.
Questioned why, the man almost flew
into a rage. He could not see why d
Jew should fight for a government
vote and no part in the affairs of his
country. He hoped that the central
troops would get to Bucharest in a few
days and hang them all, especially
Bratianu and Take Jonescu, who had so
needlessly involved the country in war.
Six other Jews were a little timid in
their expressions. but seemed to heart
lily agree with their spokesman.
Captured officers are non-interview-
able, as a rule. The code. as well as
tact. forbids that they be questioned
but one of them, tall, handsome fell
low. Of about twenty-five. gave it as his
opinion that the war was "une sale at
faire"-a dirty business.

COAST GUARD STATIONS
MAY TALK BY WIRELESS
System Proposed by Interdepart-
mental Board on Coastal
Communication.

A system of wireless and telephonic
communication between coast guard
stations. under the control of the coast
guard. is proposed by the interdepart-
mental board on coastal communica-
tions. which has submitted it's recon-
mendations to the President The plan
contemplates asking Congress for an
appropriation of 100000 to carry out
its purposes.
Such a system of communication is
favored as an adjunct to the activities
OF the coast guard in saving life and
property at sea, and also as a meas
ure Of military preparedness. All the
coast guard shore stations and the
most important lighthouses and light
ships off the ssaboard would be con-
nected by wireless and telephone if
the plan were put into effect
Cooperating in the scheme are rep
resentatives of the Treasury Depart
ment. the Post Office Department. the
Navy Department. the Department of
Agriculture and the Department of
Commerce.
The work for the first year. as ad-
vocated by the board, provides for an
expenditure of S250,000 to build radio
apparatus and install telephone lines
whichever is most feasible in certain
localities-between all the coast guard
stations and about fifty important
lighthouses and lightships. The serv-
ice is to be extended, then with an ap-
preparation the next year, it probably
will take three years before the work
is completed.
The coast guard already has in opera
tion 1,500 miles of telephone lines be-
tween the coast guard shore stations.
The coast guard automatically in time
of war becomes part of the United
States Navy; in time of peace il is de-
voted, through its fleet of cutters and
corps of life savers, to the saving of
life and property at sea.
