RUTGERS DROPS GREEK RULE
Study Of Dead Language No Longer
Required for Bachelor Of
Arts Degree.

New York.-One of the last strong
holds of the classical tradition in edu-
cation fell when the trustees of ,Rut-
gers college at New Brunswick, N. J.,
decided to abolish the requirement Of
Greek for the bachelor of arts degree.
A strong fight was made by the
scientific school faction to have both
Latin and Greek required of candi-
dates for the A. B. This failed. but
hereafter only one year of Latin will
be required.
rutgers Is one of the strongest pro-
ponents of the classics. It was the
eighth college founded in this country
and was formerly connected with the
Reformed Dutch church. For the last
half century it has been the state COL
lege Of New Jersey.
The trustees gave permission for a
$4,000 memorial building to the
Rutgers men who were killed in the
war.

COLONEL PACKED
FOOD TO men
Soldier Cauds the Bravery Of
Leader Of Chicago
Regiment.
WENT FORWARD UNDER FIRE
It Was At chipilIy Ridge, and Men
Had Nothing to Eat for Couple of
xDays-CoIonel Wanted to Be
Sure They Get It.

New York.-That Col. Joseph B..
Sanborn, commander Of Chicago's old
First Illinois National Guard regiment,
personally carried food to his men
through terrific fire in that engage
ment at Chipilly ridge in August, when
Chicago's noted regiment was shot to
pieces, was the story to Id by Sergt. G..
William Keane of Chicago, who re-
Gently arrived here on board a trans
port from France.
Keane, who was a student at Notre
Dame university until Villa cut loose
in Mexico, has several heroic feats to
his own credit, but he sattributes his
bravery to Colonel Sanborn's inspir-
ing leadership. Keane had the Mill
tary cross pinned on his breast by
King George on the same day that
General Pershing was made Knight
Of the Bath. He also wears the Amer
lean D. s. @. Keane has lost his right
leg.
Tells Of Sanborn's Bravery
His story was told by a buddy of
his in the One Hundred and Thirty
first infantry, but young Keane in
terrupted with:
"Say, If you were fighting under q
man like Colonel Sanborn, our com.
mander, you couldn't help pitching in
with every drop Of blood in your body.
Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chipilly ridge in August, when
our outfit was so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for couple Of days until Col
onel Sanborn personally brought ra-
tons to us on his back under the most
terrific fire that ever experienced.
HE did that because he wanted to
be sure that the food would reach US
and he figured the best way to make
sure was to carry it himself. Who
wouldn't fight like the devil under a
commander like that?"
Keane went to the Mexican border
with the First and re-enlisted later for
overseas service. He was decorated by
King George for his work at Hamel on
July when the One Hundred and
Thirty-first was brigaded with Aus
ITALIANS.
Keane Rescues Wounded.
Keane had charge Of directing the
work Of stretcher bearers. Party after
party Of them went into No Mans
Land that day and failed to return.
Keane went out to find them. he
found them dead, lying across the
stretchers with the wounded men. They
had been killed in their work of mercy
by the Germans. At that moment a
party Of Germans made sortie to
capture Keane, but it ended in his kill
ing several of them, forcing the others
to surrender and to carry the wounded
men and the stretcher bearers they
had killed back to the allied lines.
He won the American Distinguished
cross in the Argonne on October 10,
when he stood in No Mans Land d.
recting the work of rescue till an ex-
plosive bullet shattered his leg.

SPLIT over TOBACCO
Difference Of Opinion Among Ken
lucky Experts.
Commissioner Wants ACREAGE Cut
While University Advises
Plant More.

Louisville, Ky.-Differences In opin-
ion between Mat Cohen, state COM
missioner Of agriculture, and the COL
lege of agriculture, University of Ken
lucky, concerning tobacco production,
have been published in a university
bulletin.
Growers face disaster if the 1918
production of .427, 100000 pounds is ex-
ceeded, the commissioner declared at
a meeting of loose leaf warehouse
men.
EurOpe's immediate needs are $780,
100000 pounds, with but 4OO,OO0,OO0
available for export, the university
bulletin asserts, adding that even with
the probability Of increased acreage in
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Kentucky, the total percentage of in
crease in the worlds crop will not be
greatly affected.
Meanwhile tobacco growers are re-
ported to be planting greatly increased
acreage in Kentucky. Those in the
central part Of the state, Commission
er Cohen declared, "are tobacco crazy"
He said some farmers had rented land
at 5000 an acre to grow tobacco. with
the cost of production now $3.50 an
acre." he continued, "as compared with
$50 to $85 few years ago, this would
make the initial cost $3.50 an acre be-
fore furrow is turned. Growers can
not hope to profit with tobacco at 20
cents a pound, which we fully expect,
and the production 800 pounds an
acre."
On the other hand the university bull
letin expresses the belief that taking
into consideration the abnormal con-
ditions in the tobacco market, the out
look for next years crop appears very
favorable,

New York.-The city's finger-print
records for 1918 tend to prove that
the female Of the species here is not
deadlier than the male. In announc-
ing decrease in the number of prints
taken at the 16 magistrates courts,
Fred A. Hart, supervisor Of this work,
said that this class of records Of fe-
males had dropped 81 per cent and
that Of the males 48 per cent, as COM
pared with 1917.
More than 100000 finger prints
were taken during the year. Only the
degeneracy class showed large in.
crease, IS per cent.
The big decrease among females
recorded is attributed to 'better con-
ditions in the labor market and the
opportunity for greater reimburse
ment than in ordinary tines" owing
to so many men being in military and
naval service. The decrease among
men recorded was declared to be due
to the ''work or fight" order, driving
1d]ers into government service or es-
sential occupations.

ANTWERP L|VENS uF
Port Passing Through Period Of
Resurrection.
Ships Begin to Come Strauulinu Into

AntWerp.-Antwerp appears to be
passing through process of resurrec!
ton, although the tonnage handled
since the port was reopened more than
three months ago represents what
would ordinarily come through this
port In one week during the days prior
to the war.
Ships now come struggling in. and

great sheds Is obstructed by unpreten.

and rows of barrels Of Chicago pork,
and there are foodstuffs, clothing and
manufactured articles, most of which,
however, is for immediate use.
The American commission of relief
in Belgium had II steamships in port
early in April and the American base
for supplying the American army Of
occupation in Germany was unloading
five others.
Shipping men are anxiously awaiting
the opening of the American base at
Contich, about two miles outside of
Antwerp on the Malines road. Bar
racks are being erected at Contich for
the accommodation of 10000 soldiers
at time. This is expected to in
ject little more life into Antwerp
port.
The ground picked out for the Amer
lean base is vast plain, dry and well
irrigated, and the doughboys will find
living and sanitary conditions there
much better than in other bases which
have achieved greater prestige.
The Americans have taken over
some of the piers where North Ger
man Lloyd steamships formerly dock
ed. The early work was arduous, as
the piers were incumbered with gravel
imported from Holland by the Ger
mans, ostensibly to repair roads, but
actually to build REINFORCED concrete
shelters, dugouts and trenches. One
hundred cubic yards Of the gravel had
to be removed before the piers could
be used. It is estimated the Germans
had enough gravel there to repair Bel.
gian roads for so years.

stevedores are idle here and the only So

| toned as to how the situation can be
