to meet the deficit as a reduction in

When institutions as heavily endowed
as Columbia and Harvard have pro-
fessed a pressing need Of funds the
plight OF some Of the smaller and poor
er colleges and universities can be un-
derstood. One college In Ahe West In Its
remarks upon the outlook says: "A
number of institutions are likely TO
perish" II there Is no relief to the pres
ent conditions.
Privately supported institutions have
been an important factor in the Amer
lean educational system IN the past.
These are greater in number than per-
haps in aEy other country, and they
have been strongly instrumental in de-
velOpi,lg and maintaining the Amer
lean spirit. That they have fostered
and encouraged patriotism is shown by
the heavy enlistment from their enroll
ments and the fact that the demands
OF war service are largely responsible
for their almost deserted class rooms.
In the past these institutions have been
most literally supported by gifts and
endOwments. The Bureau OF Education
does not attempt to offer a remedy; II
merely invites cOrresDOndence and Sug-
gestions for the best methods OF helD-
ing these Institutions in the present
crisis. THE issue of the preservation
OF Americas privately supported col
leges and universities" II declares, "is
squarely before the nation for consid-

Wars Effecf on College Budgets
From The New York Sun }

The Bureau OF Education at Wash
ington, giving the result OF its effort
to obtain information regarding the ef-
fect OF tho war upon the budgets OF
privately supported colleges and uni
versities, tabulates the reports received
from sixteen Institutions representative
OF nearly every type OF school not de-
pendent upon some form Of state or
government support in this country.
Several Of these institutions report
grave doubts for the future" and elev-
en- OF the sixteen declare that they faced
material deficits in the last school year.
one university In the East, which
had total enrolment OF 1867 students
In 1916, reports the reduction In It's in
come in the school year Of i9iT-is as
s3OO,OOO A university I'm the South,
which had 966 students in 1915, gives
the reduction In its income in the last
school year as $4,000: an Eastern col
lege reports that I'm the same period
its income dropped $4,000; college
in the West reports drop OF $4,000
The probable war deficit OF our West
ern university is estimated at $4,000
and the probable deficit Of one Eastern
university Is given at S225, ,00O and OF
two others at s220OOO.
The reason for these deficits is stated
in almost all cases TO be the loss in
tuition and dormintory rents. one East
ern university reporting It's loss from
these sources as amounting TO Si25O00.
This appears very evident in looking
over the detailed loss OF students. An
Eastern college with an enrolment Of
Gig reports the loss OF POO students; an
other as from one-third TO one-half Of
its former student body. Not one OF
the institutions gives its loss at less
than 20 per cent; one gives its loss at
40 per cent.
The struggle Of most OF these insti-
tutions 10 continue has been severe.

The League of Twenfy-four Nations
(From the New York Trldune.)

When, in his staements given to the
newspapers yesterday. Lord Robert Co
ell said THAT an economic league Of
twenty-four nations was now In exist
enoe he gave an impression that does
not tally with the reality 1t is given
out from Washington that, however
much this country is in sympathy with
the aims and policies OF such league
as set forth by Lord Robert, actually
no such pact has been definitely signed
by the United States. And this Is prob
ably true OF some others OF the twenty
four nations considered.
The resolutions OF the Paris Econom-
10 Conference Of two years ago had the
adhesion Of eight nations, but to say
now that this has expanded to twenty
four nations has the implication that
practically the whole commercial world,
neutral and otherwise, has united
against Germany. Such consunma-
tion would, It Is evident, come very near
10 practically winning the war. If all
the nations save Russia and Rumania
could be held In a solid economic union
against the Teutonic Powers, 1t would
not be necessary to do much more than
maintain the status yuo Of the military
lines to encompass Germany's practical
defeat.
This does not now seem possible.
II Germany is given time to consolidate
the vast resources OF Russia and devel-
op that enormous territory and popula-
tion as its own, 1t will have trading and
economic possibilities almost equal TO
that Of all the rest Of Europe. To some
thing less than 140 millions at present
under the Teuton dominion it would
add not less than $50 millions and ter
ritory the least developed and the most
susceptible 10 quick development Of
perhaps any to be found on the globe.

How He Got His Uniform.

He was a recruit in an aviation camp
in Texas. Uniforms were short there,
and many were forced to wear civilian
clothes. One young man, who was es-
pecially ~resourceful, was missing from
Inspection one morning.
"Where's Blank? ?" asked the lieuten-
ant.
I'm his tent, sir" replied a friend
HE has no clothes.'
The lieutenant made haste to get to
the tent.
"What r you doing here without
your clothes?" he shouted.
II borrowed the clothes 1 wore down
here from a friend and promised to re-
turn them. Last night 1 boxed them
up and sent them by express to his

Needless to say the lieutenant soon

These Ships Laid Up.

"a Dutch East Indian cannot help
smiling when he finds fear expressed
that the German and Austrian ships in
East Indian harbors might run out
to sea as RAIDERS" said a Hollander
who is in New York on business.
"Forty steamships fled into our har-
bors. In the Emma harbor and the
Queens Bay at Panang are lying the
Van Kleist and Rhineland of the North
German Lloyd, the Ninive of the Ham,
burg-American line and the Orsowa, an
Austrian boat from Fiume.
"These ships will require no more
watching ~because~of the luxuriant
growth of shell and coral. The steam
ships must now be covered with a
layer Of coral and shell from thirty
to forty inches thick. About two
years ago attempts were made to move
the Won Kleist, but no greater speed
than five knots could be got out Of
her, although the ship originally had
a speed Of twenty knots."-New York

SURPLlCE JACKET A NEW ONE
Coat Is Already in America, but France
Is Sending Over Various Appli-
cations of the One Idea.

Cheruit is showing short jackets
with fronts cut into long ends that
cross below the bust, slip through
slashes in the underarm seams and
come out again to tie at the back. This
coat Is already In America, according
to a fashion writer, but France is send
ing over, later, a dozen or more appli.
cations of the one idea.
There are short zouave jackets with
ends that do not go through any slashes
In the underarm seams, but frankly
form a girdle and tie in a flat bow at
the back of the waist. If this jacket is
of dark blue serge or gaberdine, as it
frequently is, 1t has these ends tipped
with bright scarlet broadcloth or An
CORA cloth, to match the short, military
collar taken from the English uniform.
Angora cloth Is used by France on
the best coat suits. A piece of a time
worn sweater, for instance, would pro-
vide an attractive accessory on a new
suit under the ruling of this Law.
Girdles are made of this Angora
cloth, as well as cuffs, and some short
coats are edged with a band of it. In
green, scarlet and blue, it is exceed
ingly popular.
Writing of sweaters, the newest one
brought from France is made from
baby ribbon in bright colors. 1t is the
top notch conservation sweater. Not
an inch of worsted is used. France
has launched 1t as the successful nov
city of the season, and it bids fair to
catch the popular American taste, just
as did those knitted silk sweaters and
caps that were launched by Chanel in
Deauville the summer before the val.

WAIsTC0ATS SURE OF FAVOR.
Garment Promises Il Be Much Worn
This Spring, Adding to the Ward
robe of Smart Women.

Waistcoats are surely to be much
worn this spring and an important ac-
cessory in the smart woman's ward
robes, since the neckwear counters in
most shops show them in most tempt
ing cut and color.
The fact is, notes a fashion writer,
owing to the wool shortage that makes
necessary q curtailing of the amount
of fabric in the wooden suit for spring,
the Elton coat and other types of short
coat are coming in with a vengeance.
And the waisteoat that extends below
the coat in front will help to piece out
this stubby little coat.
Clever women will find an excellent
way of remodeling last years suit by
shortening the coat-or having a tailor
do so for them-and Frightening 1t and.
rejuvenating it by adding a waistcoat.
