More Pay is Asked
For Princeton Faculty

Princeton, n. J., Feb 27.-Material
increases in the salaries of professors
at Princeton University are urged in
the report of a special university COM
mittee made public today. According
to the report the average salary of.the
two hundred members of Princeton
faculty is 50, $50, although full pro-
fessorship pays at the present time an
average of about $4,000.
This represents an increase of only
about 20 per cent. in the past twelve
years, whereas according to the COM
mittee, the price of foodstuffs and
other commodities has doubled in
price during this period. The report
points out that at the present time,
leading business concerns are follow
ing the practice of granting their en-
ployes advances in wages or thigh
cost of living bonuses" but that the
Princeton professor has received no
such relief.
The highest salary paid a professor
at Princeton is $4,000, and the lowest
paid half time assistants is $400 per
year.

Loses Husband on
Honeymoon Trip

Altoona, Pa, Feb. 27.-Married at
Clearfield, Mr.. and Mrs. John Haw-
kins started on a honeymoon to east
ern cities. The bridegroom had board
ed an eastbound train at Tyrone when
the bride discovered she had left her
handbag in the station. Recovering It,
stopped to pick up some oranges she
had dropped and the train pulled out.
He has all the money and tickets
and I don't have a cent" sobbed the
frantic bride, while the husband tried
to get off the train, but failed.
Railroad officials bought her a
ticket to Huntingdon, then telephoned
ahead and had the husband leave the
train there and wait for her.

War Summary

Striking east or Ypres, the British
this morning began another drive at
the German lines. Field Marshal
Haig has announced satisfactory
progress.
The renewal of the Flanders drive
comes after an eight day interval.
On Wednesday Of last week the Brit
ish swept forward on both sides of
the Ypres- -Menin road.
Some heavy fighting followed, the
Germans making desperate attempts
to regain the valuable high ground
they had lost. Almost every inch Of
ii. however, was held by the Brit
ish.
With today's renewal Of the drive
the battle Of Flanders is growing
more and more to resemble last
years battle of the Somme, which
was followed by the memorable
Hindenburg strategic retreat"
This time, however, the ground
which would have to be abandoned
would be far more serious loss to the
Germans, for the German held Bel
gian coast line, with its submarine
and aero bases is at stake, together
