BERKELEY, Cal, July15.-"The war had a great influence on the 1917 sum mer session, due to the fact that the people realize that a change in condi- tiOnS is about to take place. The stu dents as a unit seem to tend more to the practical studies than to the theo reticar says Gerville Mott. head proc tor at the summer school of the Uni versity of California.
 "A decided change can he seen in the decrease of students enrolled in the various German classes. An in crease in the French and Spanish courses is very marked. The courses are mostly attended by teachers who feel that German will be an unpopular course in their respective schools, so in order to retain their positions they must comply with the students demand for other languages than German
 The number of students in the First Aid courses has tripled. The women in these courses out number the men Is to l. The enrolment for this year is 160, while last year was 59. Teach CTS are very interested in these courses because on completion they receive a certificate which entitled them to teach it in their schools. The men come from factories and on returning to them they can apply their knowledge in teaching the laborers and using it in emergencies. The four courses to be passed before obtaining a certificate are First Aid, Hospital Administration, Emergencies and Home Care of the sick, and Methods of Teaching in Schools of Nursing.
 'The women in the Office Practical courses outnumber the men by 25 to 1. The women in these courses are young CT than in past years. The realization that the war may force them to take the places of men has raised the en- rollment to 800 an increase of 579 over the 1916 sumer session.
 "A new feature furthered hv the uni versity is the Aviation School. The Aviation Schol term is for eight weeks, during which time the men are fought infantry drill, military tactics, and theoretical aviation. In the first three weeks the men drill four hours a day
 attend one or two lectures. In the last five weeks they drill one hour and attend four or five lectures a day.
 "The school admits 25 men each week. The first class graduated on July A. 1917. At the present time the applications are four or five weeks ahead of the number to be admitted each week
 There are seven of these schools in various colleges, geographically deter mined by the government so as to cover the entire country systematically. The colleges with best engineering schools in the section designated are given preference"

Horton, formerly a newspaper man of Phoenix, Arizona, died here today at the home of J. Powell, where he had been a guest. Horton registered at the hotel ROsslyn as Roy Norton and it was first thought he was the popular author of that name, but subsequent investi- gation cast doubt upon the correctness of this surmise. newspaper man who knew Horton in San Francisco slightly says he believes the dead man is he. He answers the description of Horton.
 Robert J Horton was employed as a reporter on the Gazette last spring. He said before coming to Phoenix that he had been employed on various coast papers and carried credentials from the San Francisco Press club. His home is believed to have been in New York.

PARIS, July 15.-The Paris press halls the retirement of Dr. von Beth mann Hollweg from the German chan cellorship with varying degrees of sat- isfaction.

 As might be expected the phrase scrap of paper frequently crops out in the comment and some of the jour nals trace the chancellors downfall back to that early-in- -the-war utter ance of his. The Petit Parisien is one of the newspapers that 6 not optimis- tic over the developme,t, for it says:
 Though the chancellor changes, the German masters remain the same. It is they and not the retiring functionary who desired the war, to satisfy their appetite for universal domination"
 Le Journal says: "The chancellor was so accustomed to let things be that he seems to be surprised to find himself at the bottom of the abyss. His famous exclamation, "a scrap of paper, which many thought to be only a cyn- ical utterance, now echoes like a crv of distress. It seems now as if Beth nn-Hollweg had foreseen the catas- trophe"
