'G. v. u. STARTS PLANS
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
DR.. Ruediger Expects Record En-
rollment This Year.

George Washington University will
not follow the example OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and other big
universities OF closing their summer
schools on account OF the war.
Arrangements are well under way
for the opening of the George Wash
ington Summer School late in June.
The session will last approximately
six weeks. DR.. William Carl Ruedi-
ger, dean of Teachers College and
director OF the summer school. be-
lieves that the registration will be
fully as large, If not larger. than 1t
was last summer.
Most summer schools will lose
heavily In registration. due to the
enlistment OF male students in the
military service and the enlistment of
woman students in the governments S
clerical service. But the situation
will not affect George Washington.
On the other hand, the great influx
into the city of extra government
clerks who will have spare time in
the late afternoons to devote to uni-
versity work will give George Wash
ington an unusually large field from
which to recruit its student body.
Detailed Information concerning
the courses to be offered will soon be
announced by DR.. Ruediger.
The enrolment last year-the sec
ond year of the summer school
showed an increase of so per cent
over that of the previous year.

Secretary of State lansing told
Congress yesterday in letter that an

There are practically only two op-
tions open to the evaders. One Is to

other is to shoulder a rife. All Brit
ish and Canadian slackers from 20 to
10 years old, now In this country, are
liable to be called. and all American
slackers from q to 81. now in Canada.
are subject to the same fate.
Mr.. Lansing said:
"It is with pleasure that I have
to report that at the present time
we are in agreement with Great
Britain and Canada as to the terms
Of separate conscription conventions
which now. but for a few verbal
changes. await the signature of the
Representatives Of the governments
concerned before being sent to the
Senate"
The conventions, said the Secre-
tary. allow the contracting parties
to exempt their citizens from mill
tary duty when II is desirable. Sim
liar treaties are now being drafted
with France and Italy.
The agreements with Great Brit
ain and Canada will be completed
before the next draft, February IS.
and those who would be slackers
will thus be taken into the rolls.

FACES Third TRIAL
ON LARCENY charge
John W. Henry. Defendant in Case
Involving $500.

The third attempt OF John William
Henry. co-partner Of the defunct
banking and brokerage firm OF Lewis
Johnson and Co, TO prove him.
self not guilty Of embezzlement was
begun before Justice Stafford in
Criminal Court No. yesterday.
The amount involved. and which
Henry Is charged with embeZzling, IS
$500. and present indications point
out that the defendant will make a
stubborn defense to prove his inno-
cence.
The indictment against Henry grew
out OF an alleged conversion of funds
intrusted to him for the purchase OF
stock by Mrs. Constance SchenCk
Oracle. widow of Col Oracle. L. s.
A. who lost his life on the Titanic.
This indictment charges that on
Arpil 8. 1912. 100 shares of the capi-
tai stock of the Pacific Coast Com
pany. at a par value Of 500 each,
were issued to Mrs. Oracle. the mar
ket valUe of each at that time being
s55 making a total value of sS.5on.
1t is further alleged that Henry,
on February ?. 1914. after being en-
ployed by Mrs. Oracle 10 act as her
agent in a fiduciary capacity. con-
verted these stocks to his own use.
Thic trial also takes UP the third
of a series OF embezzlement charges
against Henry. At the first trial,
held in June, 1916. the jury disagreed
and at second trial last spring he
was convicted and later granted a
new trial.

FOOD
RATION PLAN
FOR AMERICA
American Defense Society
Claims Less Days Have
Been Failures.

A vigorous demand that the United
States be put on a food rationing basis
was made of Congress yesterday in
the form of a circular letter sent
to every member Of the House and
Senate by the American Defense So
ciety.
Disloyalty, carelessness and self-in-
dulgence, the society charges, are
making the voluntary plan Of food
conservation a farce. The letter
reads in part:
owing to the failure OF Congress
to clothe the United States Food Ad-
ministration with power to compel the
observance OF conservation rules, vast
quantities OF flour and meat that now
should be going to those that are
fighting our battles in Europe are con-
sumed here in America by luxurious,
or needless or unpatriotic consumers
who will not materially change their
habits until they are absolutely COM
pelled to do so either by statute law
or executive proclamation:
Consume Extra Food.
I'VE assure you that here in New
York City, SO far as the conservation
OF wheat and rye bread, beef, pork
and mutton are concerned, the situa-
ton has only been scratched on the
surface. On the. five days on which
these articles Of food may be con-
sumed the only limit on consump-
ton Is the blue sky. On these five
days the population can, and We be-
lieve does, consume extra quantities
Of bread and meat which completely
wipe out the savings effected on the
so-called meatless and wheatIess
days.
Even on these so-called meatless
days the whole population feels privi-
legged TO feast to repletion on fish and
poultry OF all kinds, saying nothing
OF veal and mutton.
''In our opinion the situation Is a
farce and our food conservation Is TO
a large extent a failure II is our
observation that only the conscientious
and patriotic few voluntarily deny
themselves the food We should and
must save for the allies. II any
person doubts this statement, let him
see IL he can find in the hotels, the
good restaurants and the clubs OF
New York anything approaching a ra-
ton system on bread or meat on the
five open days. Let him see IL he
can find one good restaurant or hotel
in which meat or wheat bread are
not served on the two closed days to
patrons who demand them.
What is needed is a ration sys-
tenn. Immediately carried into effect
with power to resort TO the bread
card system IL It becomes necessary.
