THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

THEORETICALLY the foundation OF the
L University OF Colorado dates from the
statutes OF the first territorial legislature,
passed in 1861 The Act to establish the
University OF Colorado" states that it was to
be located at Boulder and that it was designed
ito promote and encourage the diffusion of
knowledge in all the branches OF learning,
including the scientific, literary, theological,
legal and medical departments OF instruc-
ton This far reaching plan was not realized
for many years. Indeed, it has not yet been
fully carried out for, tho the college OF liberal
arts, the engineering school, the medical
school and the law school have been estab-
lished, the university has theological
department. 1t has been deemed wise for the
state institutions to leave the teaching of
theology to the interested religious organi-
cations.

GERMANS FALL BACK |
BRITISH ADVANCE THREE MILES
ON SoMME FRONT.
Kaiser's Forces Desert Posts Which
They Defended Since Greatest
French Battle.

British Headquarters in France,
Feb. 27.-On one portion of the British
front at least, the war on Sunday be-
came a war of movement.
Under cover of heavy fog and mist,
the Germans carried out the greatest
retirement they have made on the
western front in the last two years.
The British have swept into posses
sion of Pys, Serre, Miraumont and Pc
tit Miraumont, including the famous
Butte de Warlencourt, which has been
the scene of some of the fiercest fight
ing of the war, and in places is deep
with the bones of dead men.
The German retirement is estimated
at depth of three miles at some
points.
The points which already have
fallen into the British hands have
stood out in the history of the fighting
on this front and were most stubbornly
defended. Only week ago, when the
British attacked on a two-mile front
east and south of Miraumont and Pys,
the German resistance was bitter and
the high ground desired was won only
after desperate hand-to-hand encoun-
ters and the taking Of more than 800
Germans prisoner.

HOUSE VOTES CAPITAL DRY
Measure Passed by Lower Branch of
Congress by Vote of
273 to 1877.

Washington, March 1.-The doom of
liquor in the national capital was as
sured when the house by a vote Of
273 to 137 passed the Sheppard bill,
establishing prohibition in the District
of Columbia.
The measure is not ''bone-dry" af-
fair, but it eliminates the saloon COM
pletely without making any prohibition
against the personal use" of intoxi-

Dry forces in the house voted down
all amendments to the measure and it
passed it in the exact form in which
it passed the senate. Only the sigma
ture of the president is necessary to
make it law.

|HOLLWEG HITS U. S.
GERMAN CHANCELLOR QUES.
TIoNs FAIRNESS OF AMERICAN
COURSE DURING WAR.
CITES RECALL OF GERARD
Declares Action Is unprecedented"
and "Brusque"-Did Not Know Off
eially Why United States Had Brok-
en- Off Relations With Germany.

Berlin, March 1.-GeCman Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-Hollweg told the
German reichstag that President VIII
sons action in breaking off relations
with Germany was unprecedented"
He characterized the method by which
America terminated friendly inter-
course as "brusquc." He drew d paral-
lei between President Wilson's course
in the Mexican imbroglio of 1913 and
the German situation after the start
of the war.
The chancellor called attention to
President Wilson's notification to con-
gress in 1913 that he would follow in
ternaticnal usage" and put an embargo
on shipment of arms to both factions
IN Mexico. But year later, the chan
cellor said, these usages apparently
were no more considered good"
Hollweg dileted on the vast uuanti-
ties of war material shipped from
America to Germany's enemies.
The chancellor referred to Americas
lnslstence upon the right Of American
citizens freely to travel to France and
England, but he declared "the same
right of American citizens toward the
central powers did not seem to be as
worthy OF protection and as valuable"
The chancellor found fault with the
abruptness of Gerard's recall, and COM
planned that he did not know officially
why America had broken off relations.
Gentlemen" continued the chancel-
| tho
ton. Breaking off Of relations with the
United States and the attempted mo-
b1lization of all neutrals against us
does not serve for the protection of the
freedom of the seas proclaimed by the
United States
"They won't promote the peace de-
sired by President Wilson. They rather
must have consequently encouraged the
attempt to starve Germany and multi.
ply bloodshed.
I'VE regret the rupture with a nation
who by her history seemed to be pre-
destined to work with-not against
us.
'But since our honest wish for peace
has only encountered jeering of war or
the part of our enemies, there is nc
more backward step;' there is only
ahead possible for u.s.
Germany's peace conditions are
based on PREPARATION for all wrongs
suffered and guarantees for the exist
ence and future of a strong Germany
The chancellor so outlined them il
his speech.
Discussing the establishment of tn
barred zone around England, Franc
l and Italy and to the answers receive,
from the central powers, the chancello
) said:
I'VE by no means undervalue the dif
hculties caused to neutral shipping
and we therefore try to alleviate ther
' as much as possible.
For this purpose we made an al
tempt to supply neutral states within
the boundaries of our sea forces wit
materials needed by them, like Goa
and iron.
e But We also knew that all these di1
ficulties after all are only caused b
England's tyranny of the seas.

e slavement of all non-English trade" :"
