He had almost reached the end of his journey and was within easy reach of his cabin when the acci dent must have happened. The charge had entered his leg, shatter- ing the bones. From the point where he left the deer to where he was found yesterday morning was only about two hundred feet, which he had crawled, and was apparently by that time too weak to move any fur

POLISH SCHOOLS ARE
CLOSED BY INVADERS

BERLIN, (via London), June 25.-
The Vossische Zeitung learns that Cen
eral Hans H. Won Bessler, governor
general of German occupied territory
in Russia, has closed Warsaw uni
versity and the Polytechnic institute
because of student strike dating back
last May AS the result of street
row several students were arrested
for disturbing peace and resisting auth.
critics but subsequently released. The
entire student body then proclaimed a
sympathetic strike on the ground that
their dignity and national honor had
been offended.
After official notice had been given
THAT both institutions would be per-
manently closed unless the strikes
were called, the students returned to
their classes but refused to pay tuition
fees The episode occurred at time
when the German authorities were ne
gotiating for the transfer for schools
to the local administration.

HOLLAND WOMEN
SEIZE POTATOES

LONDON, June ga dispatch to
the Times from Amsterdam reports
that q crowd of women stOrmed doz-
en- barges In the inner harbor Of Rot
terdam Saturday and seized about a
ton Of potatoes destined for England.
The barges which were loaded with
IL 900 tons of potatoes were then re-
moved to the outer harbor, guarded
by police.
The trouble whereof the foregoing
is a mere incident has arisen, accord
Ing to the correspondent between Hol-
land and England and Germany. Ger
many expected last week consign-
|ment OF new potatoes In return for
German exports of coal to Holland.
Before a consignment could be made
II 900 tons of old potatoes had to be
shipped to England under contract.
The people Of Rotterdam, who are
themselves insufficiently supplied.
learning that these potatoes were
awaiting shipment, raided the barges.
Meanwhile the Germans are threaten
ing to cease coal supplies unless the
potatoes are sent.
The correspondent says that If the
Dutch yield to German pressure and
send these potatoes to Germany they
will break their agreement with Eng
land and endanger their supply of
! grain from America which might
prove as serious as the loss of German
coal.

VEGETARlANS HIT

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June Is
The rationing of bread, oatmeal, rice,
greats, -four, ETC., which was based on
the average necessities of omniverous
inhabitants, has been a hard blow to
the vegetarians, of whom there is a
relatively great number in Sweden.
The scarcity of potatoes, milk and

lot still harder. At least one of Stock
holm's many vegetarian boarding
houses has had to go out of business,
and the others are having hard time
to struggle through.
