In answer to this question 1S2 OF the

class of Princeton University. who an
swered this rather personal question re-
piled they had. on some occasion in their
lives. kissed a girl. Twenty-seven men
said that they had not kissed, while a
few of the more bashful members of the
class, when interrogated. refused to COM
init themselves either way.
Some of the reasons advanced by the
'nonosculators" in answer to the second
question. IF not. why not?' were: The
high cost OF loving: high collars: ad-
herence to the traditional policy OF
watchful waiting" one modern Adonis
maintains that he has never found a lady
worthy Of the honor. while several un-
fortunates declare that they either never
had the chance or lacked the nerve.
Twenty-eight seniors say that do not
correspond with any girl: twenty-six cor
respond with one girl and the same num-
Der with two girls. One member of the
class asserts that he corresponds with
thirty-three different girls. while another
replies that it depends on the seasons,
spring leading. Forty-one members of
the class consider it morally wrong to
kiss a girl.

ATTACK PRESIDENT

(By the International News Service.)
Amsterdam, March THE bars are
down!
Word to that effect seems to have
made the rounds of the German news
paper Offices. For the first time in two
years and a half, the Fatherland's
editors-those who are "anti-Wilson,"
which means 80 per cent-can give
free vent to their feelings regarding
the United States and its Chief Execu-
tive. without having to anticipate a
restraining order from the foreign
office.
The result is a mighty journalistic
chorus, an editorial hymn of hate that
starts in profound basso in the Berlin
papers and resounds throughout the
empire. its echos vibrating in the re-
motest border towns-and beyond, far
into Austria Hungary.
Woodrow Wilson is made the cyno-
sure of awe, contempt and ridicule.
Naturally, much of these sentiments is
poured upon the American nation as
such. but never has a press campaign
been SO centralized against an indi-
vidual. Many Of the German newspa-
pers will begin with a vitrolic TRADE
against the "Yankees"-in Germany all
Americans are called Yankees-and end
up in the crushing dictum: For all
this one man is to blame. Woodrow

SPECIAL TO Inc Nashlngton Herald
Albany, N. Y, March Lone of the
queerest cases that has ever been de-

H. Blair Finlay of Chattanooga, Tenn, a
verdict Of 5000 against the Atlantic
Transport Company. Limited, for having
buried at sea Clement Finlay, the father
of the plaintiff. The award was made as

on board the Minneapolis, and on July Z.
1918. the steamers officers gave the body
a sea burial of Nantucket Shoals.
The son insisted that he had made ar
rangements by wireless to receive his
fathers body and that the common law
required the company to refrain from sea
burial in order that the family might
have a reasonable time to take possess
sion. The court held that the company
might have brought the body to New

the passengers on board, and that it was
clearly the duty of the ships officers to
