SOLDIERS USURP DESKS
By VIM. G. SHEPARD of the United Press.

Correspondent ot the United Press
 PETROGRAD, June l. Many Russian soldiers are so busy acquir- ing an education that they have not time to fight; they are crowding children out of the schols in many sections or have started schools of their own
 Minister of War Karensky has had tremendous success installing light spirit in troops actually at the front but there are thousands of fighters who still roam abroad free " over Russia or else have laid down their rifles for the school book
 Here in Petrograd a Jaeger reg fment opened soldiers universi- ty, where fighters are taught mathematics and history.
 At Polecon the soldiers have usurped the desks of the children in the schools and the children have been driven out of the buildings.

All; A PIP! WOULDST
 STROLL, CUTIE? Just Breathe That on At lantic City's Board Walk and You'll Land in Jail,
 Flirting Lid Is On.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June l.. Flirting on Atlantic City's Board walk is going to be almost as haz- ardous as charging a trench, beach police announced today, when the thousands flocked to the great sea- side resort
 Thirty days in jail is the grand prize awaiting firts who are incau- tlous enough to try to speak with fair strollers, and Atlantic City has policewomen to see that the police men do their duty in enforcing the edict
 Keep your mouth shut the classic motto issued by the Depart ment of Justice, has been adopted for the benefit of flirtatious males. They must confine their admiration of the fair ones to burning glances.
 Any attempt to convey it in words means an invitation for the keen eyed detectives and policewomen to gather in the offender and cart him off to a cell.
 One cant imagine Atlantic City without it's innocent summer firta- tions, but nevertheless the reform is fact. The strictest orders have been issued.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Former Delegate James Wickersham of AL aska appeared before the Senate Ju- dietary committee the other day and protested against the confirmation of the nomination of Judge Robert w..
