The number of students in the Uni
versity entered in German courses de-
clined considerably the second semes-
ter. At the beginning of the year, the
German department suffered the same
decrease that other departments did;
but at the beginning of the second Sc
mester, it suffered an additional loss
of 20 or 25 per cent. Spanish and
French have remained constant, al
though the number Of students in the
University has decreased 25 per cent
Indeed, students have been turned
away in the beginning courses be-
cause the sections we're already
crowded.
This state of affairs is not hard to
explain. In the first place. the aver
age student feels that all things Ger

are at war with Germany; and in the

FATHER TINE PUTS ONE OVER"
1,69S,SlS Railroad Clocks TO Be Turn.
ed Ahead Giving More Daylight.

There are 1.698,S1S railroad clocks
| that must be changed to the new time
which will become effective at 2 o'clock
next Sunday morning, March 81, un-
der the Daylight Saving Bill signed
by President Wilson. The procedure
will be simple. = At 2 o'clock that
morning, all Government clocks will
be advanced to a. M. and will re-
main an hour advanced until 2 a. m.
Sunday, October 81, when they will
be set back one hour for the winter
months.
The Government clocks include the
naval observatory instruments and all
clocks in departments and railroads
stations.
The law does not make it manda-
tory upon business TO alter its clocks,
but as all legal and government ac-
tivities will be conducted upon the
new scale, it is expected the change
will be universal.
Under the plan there will be an hour
mere daylight available each day for
recreation or work.
Some of the benefits will be:
Saving Of $1,OOO,OO0 to $1,500,000
tons of coal annually.
Increased food production.
Fewer traffic accidents.
Improvement in health and fresh
air and time for exercise.
Speeding freight transportation.
At present the London stock ex
change closes as the'New York stock
exchange opens. New York and Lon
don. stock exchanges will be open for
one hour together.
Mayor J. E. Boggs said this morn
ing that he did not believe it would
be necessary for the city administra-
tion to pass an ordinance making the
city time accord with the change in
time which the Daylight Saving Bill
makes March 81. The city council Of
Kansas City passed an ordinance
making the city time and the working
hours of the city departments accord
with the new time. Mr.. Boggs said he
thought the Government ruling was
sufficient and that all clocks would be
changed accordingly.

PROGRESS OF CADETS
GOOD, SAYS CRA|G|E
Commandant Compliments
Military Corps On the
Work During Year.
EARLY DRILL LIKED
Battalions Will Soon Try
Skill in Sham Battle on
Hinkson.

The work of the University Cadet
Corps has been very satisfactory and
the progress good" said Major Wal
lace NJ Craigie in a recent interview
THE men have been drilling in ex-
tended and close order, This spring
we shall take up problems in minor
tactics"
For the first minor tactics problem
to be studied, Major Craigie will Sc
lect beforehand the terrain to be
occupied. It will be south of town,
probably around the bluffs on the
Hinkson. The defensive party. one
of the two battalions forming the
Cadet Corps. will take a position un-
known to the other party. The faculty
drill unit will be attached to one Of
the battalions.
Major Craigie will be assisted in
umpiring the fight by the cadet
colonel, c. d. Stephenson. The de-
gree of surprise, concentration of
rife fire, disposition and handling OF
troops and methods of fire are the
salient points upon which the decision
will be made.
The cadets will also do advance and
rear guard work. The advance guard.
a company of fifty men for this unit,
is used to cover the advance of the
army through enemy country. 1t is
scouting party whose functions are to
prevent surprise, to gain information,
and, in case of attack, to hold the
enemy in check until the army in
the rear can deploy or prepare for de-
fense. The rear guard is thrown out
when the army retreats, to cover the
retreat and hold the victorious army
in check until it's own men can get
away or take up a position.
The Cadet Corps, which numbers
5S2 men, consists of two battalions of
four companies each, a signal corps
and band. Twenty men have signed
a contract with the Government to
drill and to attend this summer any
military training camp which the Sec
Fetary Of War may designate. They
form an advanced class. They are
paid by the Government Communication
of subsistence at the rate of 80 cents
a day. Major Craigie has been in
formed unofficially that special train
ing camps for the students now in the
r. o. T. C. will be formed in different
parts of the United States. An official
bulletin with definite announcements
will be out soon.
The signal corps has forty-eight men
on its roll In addition to semaphore
work. it has taken up this year radio
telegraphy.
Drill at o'clock Friday morning
instead of in the afternoon, is very |
well liked by the men because it gives
the the afternoon free, according to
reports to the company commanders.
The officers of the cadet corps are:
Cadet colonel, c. D. Stephenson;
major First Battalion, W. Heidorn;
major Second Battalion, L. D. Cady;
adjutant, V. Deakin; captain Company
A, J. ]. Goodwin; Company B, P. F.

ming, and even the elusive mouse IS not able to dodge the terriers nimble claws.
 For a number of years there nave been two classes of the breed-the smooth and wire-haired, or the rough
 coated kind as the latter had been known for about a generation. Grad ually the wires have replaced the "smooths," although there is very little to choose between them. Perhaps little favoritism on the part of royalty
 has been the real cause of the transl- tion. The late King Edward VII. was known to have a liking for the wires" and the dogmen of the old world took their cue from the favorite ruler, and
 in due course the fad spread to this side of the Atlantic. For number of
 years before he died King Edward
 maintained a kennel of no less than 500 dogs, and of this great collection the fox terrier was his favorite. Whenever the monarch chanced to go for a ramble
 he was always accompanied by his fa- vorite wire" and out of the incident arose the idea that the fox terrier was the true type of 'gentleman-s terrier"
 As long as the king was such an in- terested patron of the fox terrier it was only following a custom that Queen
 Alexandra hould become attached to the breed. Already a fancier of the Borzoi and an ardent dog woman. the queen led the fashion in the terrier fancy and it did not take long for the swell English women to follow suit.
 American women were not slow in be- ' ing we'll in the swim, and that they
