courses and vocational courses in
business and engineering subjects
The preparatory courses are of high
school grade. The college courses
enable one to work for credit toward
degree from the University. AS many
as half the credits required may be
earned in this way. Students who
seek university credit must be able to
satisfy the entrance requirements OF
the University, but if credit is not de-
sired, any one may register for these
courses. Many Of them are of general
value, dealing as they do with eco
nomics, history, political science
sociology, and other subjects of pres
ent interest. The vocational courses
are practical in their nature and make
constant application of the principles
they teach. These, as we'll as the
other types of courses, will be in.

ARE ORDERED ABOLISHED

WASHINGTON, Feb, 15,--Elimina-
tion Of all blanket railroad freight rates
between the so-called Shreveport tri-
angle and lower Mississippi river
crossings and points In Louisiana west
Of the Mississippi, was ordered today

decison holding that rates now MAIN

Miss.
Carriers were ordered to adjust all
rates in accordance with this ruling

ture before June 2, to accord Natchez
rates to and from Western Louisiana
and Southern Arkansas points in such
manner and TO the same extent as
rates now existing between Western
Louisiana points and Western Louisiana

In citing extensive changes made
necessary by the decision, the commits
sion set forth that water competition

Yet 1t Is not the material side Of the
German occupation that one must first
observe, Here 80 years ago was little
city as French as Tours or Orleans q
to Roman times, with forts dating from
Vauban. In its population there was
not a German and there had not been
for centuries. In 1870 Metz was a
sleepy little French town, politically
and economically nothing, militarily i'm
pertant, because like Verdun 1t covered
the road to the heart of France. Out
of this calm, Metz walked in 1870, for
those terrible days when BoZaine blum

France ever possessed was thrown
away, OF rather permitted to die of in

them that historic moment had ar
rived. II was the third penary ses-
was the same setting OF distinguished
personnel and solemn dignity that
marked previous gatherings of the AL

President Wilson presented striking
picture as he stood before the dele-

even tone, without gesture or empha-
sis, except twice. when he referred to
armed forces In the background and
TO exploitation of helpless peoples"
There was Il ring IN his voice when ha
uttered these warnings which would
have brought applause, but for the staid
procedure OF the conference, which for-
bids all demonstrations
Lord Robert Cecil Of Great Britain,
and Premier Orlando OF Italy voiced
their approval Of the covenant but

pressing his general satisfaction, made
reservations which indicated that his

Another slight evidence OF dissent
was found In the remarks OF W. NJ.

with some feeling. II ample opportunity
to discuss the scheme would be given.

a minor note of dscOrd In calling at
tention to secret treaties which we're
