LONDON, Feb. 25.-Germany is con-
Quoting an elaborate press campaign to
prepare her people for the expected
heavy casualties and at the same time
apparently is exercising unusua! strict
ness with regard to the army, pressing
into service and keeping in the front

those who have reached IS years.
The possible effect upon the German
morale when heavy casualty lists begin

and both the critics and the official press
bureaus are trying TO offset IT.

awaiting this continent" says the Tos-

PROF. ]. R. WHEELER.
Former University of Vermont Man Died
in New York.

Burlington, Feb. l2.-The funeral Of
Prof. James Rignall Wheeler OF Column
bia university, formerly of the Univer
sity of Vermont, who died in New York
Saturday after short illness, was held
in the College street church here this
afternoon.
| Professor Wheeler was born in Bur
lington Feb. Is, 1850, the youngest son
| of President John Wheeler of the Uni
versity of Vermont, who was president
| from 1888 to lS49, and Mary c. r.
Wheeler. Professor Wheeler was gradu-
ated from the University of Vermont in
the class of 1880 with the degree of A, b,
and received the degree of A. NJ. and PHI.
| ID. from Harvard in 1855. After a further
study in Europe, especially at Bonn he
was lecturer at Johns Hopkins and in
1883 was made instructor in Greek and
Latin at Harvard. From 1899 TO 1895 he
was professor of Greek at the University
of Vermont. Since then he had been a
member of the faculty of Columbia uni
versity, as professor of Greek, until 1905,
and then as professor OF Greek archRol-
ogy and art. He was more closely con
neeted with the American School Of Gas
steal Studies at Athens than any other
one man. A student of the school at its
opening in 1882. he returned TO Athens
as annual professor in 1928 and spent
several months at the school on two later
visits to Europe. He had been a member
of the managing committee of the school
since 1891, was secretary OF this commit
tee from 1894 to 1901, and from that
time until his death was its chairman
and trustee of the school. To his ideals
OF scholarship and his wise guidance is
due in no small measure the high posi-
ton which the school holds to-day among
the foreign schools of archaeology in
Athens.
Professor Wheeler's publications con
sisted chiefly of scattered articles in the
and especially the archaeological
periodicals and occasional addresses. He
was Joint editor with Professor Fowler of
the Western Reserve, of an important
handbook of archaeology, and he con-
tributed to a work on Greek literature,
published by Columbia university in
1912. The soundness of his judgment and
his prominence in the academic world led
to offers of important administrative
positions, but he preferred the life of the
teacher. He was acting dean and dean of
the laculty OF me afts OF Nolumpla uni
versty from 1906 to 1911, had been vice
president of the American Pathological
association and associate editor of the
American journal of Archaeology, and
was an honorary editor at the time of his
death. He received the honorary degree
Of Ill. ID. from the University of Colo
RADIO and from the University of Yer
mont and was trustee of the latter |
having been elected in 1914 |
He was member of the Sigma Phi
society.
He is survived by his wife, who was
lane Hunt Pease, daughter of President
pease of the University of Vermont

asst of a family of IL children and uncle
