Prussian Professor Peexed.

The number Of women entering Ger
man universities increased from 1858
to 6,527 last winter. The number at
the University of Berlin alone grew
from $50 to 1922. Professor Won
WilamOwitz-M ollendorf of the Univer-
sity of Berlin, and his colleagues, do
not like this development, and he had
no hesitation about speaking energeti-
cally and sarcastically about it in the
Prussian parliament 1t seems that al
though the Berlin professors still be-
gin their lectures with Gentlemen"
their hearers are almost exclusively
women. The speech in question was
an argument for lowering the univer-
sity standards for men while using the
utmost severity towards women who
wish to learn. Wilamowitz sarcastic
cally observed that the universities
have been turned into girls schools
and that very considerable number
Of the women in attendance were moth
ing but little girls in short frocks.
These girls get into the university by
reason of certificates which, Wilamo-
WITT says, have no value whatever. He
adds that the result is to reduce the
Berlin professors to the grade and du-
ties of fourth-form masters in the Sec
ondary schools.

PeriIous, czecho-SIovak Forces
Having Cut Off Large Stores

Vienna, Dec. 4I-The former Austro-
Hungarian empire continues to disin-
tegrate and the process is accompan-
led by fighting here and there and
depredations of marauding bands. The
food situation in Vienna grows more
serious each day.
CZecho-Slovak forces are reported
to have occupied Bedenbach, near the
German frontier, thereby cutting off
from Vienna large stores of provisions
belonging to the German-Austrian re-
public.
Czecho-Slovaks Advance.
The CzechoSlovaks have garrisoned
the larger part of German Bohemia
and are said to be pressing toward
the frontiers of upper Austria The
rapidity of the Czecho-Slovak advance
is illustrated by the report of wom-
an of Vienna, who went to Raab, SO
miles southeast, recently and found
the town occupied by the Czechs.
In the south the Jugo-Slavs have
occupied Marburg, which claims to be
a German city. Their forces also have
entered the provinces of Carinthia
and Syria.
Poles Continue Advance.
In the northeast the Poles continue
their fight with the Ukrainians and
are advancing over the Carpathian
mountains to the frontiers of Hun
gary. They are reported to be rob-
bling the Jews as they go.

FLEET READY TO SAIL
American Warships in Europe

Dreadnaughts and Destroyers Are in
Shape to Proceed From French
and English Bases.

Paris, Dec. 4.-The American war
ships which will meet President Will
son on the high seas on his way to
Europe have assembled at the Ameri-
can naval bases at Portland, England,
and Brest, France.
The dreadnoughts in the fleet COM
prise the largest ships on this side
of the water, including the New York,
Oklahoma and the Nevada, under Ad-
miral Rodgers. The destroyer contin-
gent will number "a vessels.
The fleet will proceed 1900 miles
out to sea, where the meeting with
the steamship bearing the President
with it's escort will take place. Ad-
miral Mayo, on board the escorting
battleship Pennsylvania, will then
take command of the combined fleet
of 10 battleships and % destroyers,
the latter including the four proceed
ing with the Pennsylvania. A stop
will be made at the Azores, principally
to insure a supply of oil for the de-
stroyers.
1t is probable that French and Brit
ish warships will meet the incoming
American fleet at later stage, but
no notification to this effect has thus
far reached the American authorities.

THE BIBLE IN MEsoPoTAMIA
One Lives Its Story There and Does
Not Doubt Its Truth, Remarks
a Visitor.

To add a touch of completeness to
the Sabbath-like calm which prevailed
on the ship / read the Bible. Becom-
ing intensely interested, 1 tried to read
it through in "a hours. This cannot
be done. Incidentally, l had some dill
fi:ulty in finding one. 1t is a sign or
tie times, am afraid, that one never
gets Bible any more as going-away
present when one starts off on long
journey. Though / might better say,
perhaps. that it was sign of unintell1-
gence on my part that I did not think
to carry with me one of several that
sfwere bestowed upon me in godller
days.
l was going to Bagdad, was l not!
When 1 left New York believed !
was. was on my way to the land OF
the two rivers; the land of the Gar
den of Eden, of the Cradle of the
World" 1t is the land not only OF
Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel
but the land as well of Noah and Fa'
Their Abraham; the land of Babyl0nia,
where Daniel dwelt in captivity with
the children of Israel and was deliv-
cred from the den Of lions.
I found Bible, finally, hidden away
with the hymnals and the prayer books
In a little wainscot cupboard of the
little library, and, while intended
merely to get the stories of Babylon
and of Or of the Chaldees, l became
engrossed in the story Of the Children
of Israel and followed 1t all the way
through. Then I had to read the
prophets, and having pondered over
their prophesies, was tempted to re-
examine the fulflment of them. And
afterward / was very glad I did. 1t
refreshed my memory of many things
/ had thought little about since the
days Of my youth.
In Mesopotamia you live the story
of the Bible and you do not wonder
in the least If it is true; you know it
is. You become as definitely acquaint-
ed with Daniel and Ezra; yes, and
with Adam and Eve and Cain and
Abel and Noah and Abraham and
Hagar and Ishmael-especially Hagar
and Ishmael-and thousand others,
as though they were alive today. And
in way they are. AS they have come
down to us through the ages in tradi-
ton and picture they are exact proto-
types of the men who now inhabit
that ancient land.-From '"The War in
the Cradle of the World" by Eleanor
Franklin Egan.
