Lover Shot as Bandit

London, Aug. 10.-Over 5000

correspondent of the Daily

lists, stenographers and dressmakers,
while a number are farmers daugh-
tiers, at whose places the American
soldiers were housed.
There has not been one case of
a married American soldier aban-
doning his French wife.
There have been, of course, many
breaches of promise and sad love
stories. The story is told of poor
French girl in the country who had
fallen in love with an American SOL
der. She failed to hear from him
for few weeks, and her father
wrote to the colonel of the regi-
ment asking for particulars, and
mentioning that his daughter was
engaged to him. The father received
a laconic note saving: The soldier

No one in England has any doubt
where Sylvia stands or that her

are entirely out of sympathy with
the intensely anarchistic and COM
munistic type of frebrand theories
spouted by Sylvia. In fact Miss
Christabel and her mother are doing
all they can to combat Sylvia's pro-
paganda, and Sylvia no longer has
any thing to do with the recognized
woman's party movement which her
mother founded and which Christa-

Much to Be Learned From

spOndent.)
London, Aug. 10.-The two
months tour of American colleges
and universities by the British edu-
cational mission was an eyeopener
for the British. That is the state
ment of Sir Arthur Acland, former
minister of education, who was a
member of the British delegation.
Outstanding impressions gained by
the mission we're:
The magnitude of universities in
America.
The important position occupied
by the newer universities of the
middle west.
The day is past when the British
can take the narrow view they have
nothing to learn from America.
The future portends that most of
America will be college-educated.
The established atmosphere of
giving to universities, especially by
alumni, was inspiring With all
their traditions British universities
are not so fortunate.
Americans, especially from the
west and middle west, should get to
know England better, and vice
versa.
To show that he is ready to prac-
tice what he breaches Sir Arthur
has established two travelling
scholarships for London students
to American universities-one for a
woman student and the other for a
youth.
"The value to the world OF a good
understanding between America and
ourselves may be definitely helped
by steady and systematic inter-
change of some of the best minds
of the two nations" said Sir Arthur.
That Americans, especially from
the west and middle west, should
get to know England better that
year by year English graduates,
both men and women, should get to
know America better-these are
matters of vital importance.
There is clearly great oppor-
tunity for those who understand and
realize what may be the value of
this interchange now and hencefor-
ward to found or contribute towards

Capt. ]. E. Faes and wife of the
military department at the state
university are enjoying a IS days
leave and are visiting friends at
Madison, Neb.
Capt. c. M. Harris of the univer-
sity military department went to
Omaha this week for a brief trip.
The university committee on an
exhibit at the state fair met last
Monday to lay plans. The COM
mittee consists of Professors c. R.

TELECRAPHERS
ARE ALWAYS IN
GREAT Demand
Commercial Wire Men and
Wireless Operators Are
Needed as Never
Before.

Telegraphy as a profession offers
excellent pay, certainty of employ
ment and splendid opportunities.
Employment as a commercial
telegrapher or as a radio operator
is equally certain and equally at
tractive to the young person.
Railroad and other branches Of
commercial telegraphy are now open
to women and women operators are
gaining great preference in the
numerous positions where they are
employed. The merchant marine is
growing rapidly and every merchant
ship requires a radio operator and
ofttimes an assistant in addition.
Opportunities afforded the wire
operator and wireless operator will
Boon be equal. But more telegra-
pliers are needed.
The pay of telegraph operators
Is good even from the very start
and increase as the worker becomes
more proficient. But it is essential
that the young operator gain cor
rect foundation work for career
in this attractive profession, for
upon this beginning largely depends
the degree of his ultimate success. ~
Boyles college is the only COM
mercial school featuring the tele-
graphic course. 1t has been chosen
By the Union Pacific railroad as the
official training school. The rail
road has laid main line chief dis
patcher's wire into the schoolrooms
in order that the student may gain
the practical experience of actual
railroad work while learning his
profession.
The prospective student of tleg-
raphy may ask what inducements
are offered and what opportunity
for promotion. Sufficient proof is
the fact that fully so per cent of the
highest officials of all the railroads
of the United States began their
careers as telegraphers.

Yakima, Wash, Aug. 10.-A round
up of "lazy husbands" is threatened
here by local officials.
Washington state has law which
puts lazy husbands at work and
gives the family of such men their
earnings. Officials say the county
is so plagued with men liable for
prosecution under the law that a
roundup will soon start. One case
cited here was of a husband who
rode around the reservation in an
automobile while the wife drove a
