DISABLED SOLDIERS TO
 TRAIN AT UNIVERSITY

Arrangements have been completed between the University of Arizona and the federal board for vocational education by which disabled soldiers will be admitted to the University and permitted to take up either regular university work, or special vocational training, under the provisions of the vocational rehabilitation act.
 The university will, in the case of a man disabled in the service, relax its requirements for admission pro- vided that he has had sufficient edu- cational background to enable him to carry the work elected.
 The men will be housed and fed on the campus, and will occupy the quar- ters used by the soldiers army traini ing corps contingent. The soldiers will be paid by the federal govern ment from $50 to $150 per month while in training, the amount varying with the number of dependents.
 It is the intention of the University to offer to the disabled soldiers work in any department in the university, and for those who have not sufficient educational training to carry regular university work, special courses will be organized along different lines of vocational training, including:
 Agriculture, all lines of shop work, electrical wiring, cabinet making, pat ten-making, auto mechanics, auto electric work, irrigation machinery, acetylene and electric welding, me chanical drawing, drafting, and ma chine design. There will also be a "try-out" school in which secondary subjects will be taught for the bene- fit of those who need training in sub jects below university grade.
 All disabled soldiers who desire any training and who have not yet made application for vocational training are requested to communicate with the Vocational Director, University of Ar izona, Tucson, Ariz.

TO SEND VETERANS TO
 SCHOOL UNDER SALARY

A new bill of vital interest to ex- service men which offers nine months educational and apprenticeship train ing at government expense to any veteran of the war with Germany was introduced in Congress last week by Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, with the support of the American Legion. Under this proposed legislation, which is known as the War-Service Educa- tional Act, broad educational facilities heretofore available only for disabled soldiers, sailors and marines are ex- tended to all veterans honorably dis charged after at least sixty days ac- tual service in the military and naval forces.
 These facilities are provided in any public or private university, college, or academy or any public or private high, elementary, business, trade or night school, or any regular course of instruction or apprenticeship conduct ed in connection with any factory, mill, bank, store, or other industrial or mercantile establishment.
 Each veteran who takes advantage of this act shall be entitled to receive S60 a month for such time, not exceed ing nine months, as he may be actu- ally under instruction at an approved institution and to receive his neces- sary travelling expenses to and from such institution.
 Only those veterans who are obliged while receiving instruction-to work at least 40 hours week at trade, vocation or profession in order to sup port persons actually dependent on them, are permitted to attend any night, evening, afternoon or other part-time course of instruction or to attend courses requiring less than 12 hours classroom, laboratory, or simi- lar work a week.
 Veterans must file applications for this training within one year from the date of passage of the proposed act. Any veteran whose application has been approved by the board shall be entitled to attend any approved insti-, tuition within the state of which he is a resident. If there be no approved institution in his state, he may attend the nearest available approved insti- tuition.
 The veteran may elect the general course of instruction he desires to take, provided he elects no courses for which his previous education, training and experience are not sufficient to en- able him to meet entrance require ments.
 No payments shall be made to vSt- erans who fail to report for instruc- tion within three years from the date of the act and no payments are au- thorized for instruction received more than five years after the act becomes effective, which is, thirty days after the passage of the bill.
 The sum of $1 100000 is appropriat ed to be used for salaries, wages, rent and other expenses.
 Veterans receiving similar benefits under other laws are not eligible to receive payments under Senator Lem roots bill.

New York. Dec. 27.-The great
United States battle fleet which was
on war duty in the North sea was re-
viewed here by the Secretary of the
Navy, Josephus Daniels.
Ten Of Uncle Sans finest battle
ships, which have been keeping vigil
in the U-boat infested waters of the
European coast, make up the armada.
In SWirling snowstorm the Amer1-
can fleet coming home from the war
passed through the narrows shortly
after $3.50 a. m. The Gloucester, a
low-fying airplane and two destroyers
preceded the big dreadnaughts. The
snowstorm created a condition Of 'loW
visibility" shrouding all but the near
est battle craft from the watchers who
thronged the shore on both sides of the
narrows.
All the way into the harbor, as the
warships moved through the snow, they
presented a winter spectacle. rather
than one with a touch of warmth and
sunshine, which the mild and fair
weather of the last few days had led
the witnessing throngs to hope for. Tn

who had assembled on the shores from
Sandy Hook to Battery park and the

GUARD WHEAT PRICE
SEEK LEGISLATION IN AID or
GUARANTY PLAN.
Department of Agriculture and Food
Administration Send Memoran-
dun to House.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-LegiSlatiO to
make effective the wheat price guar
anty for the 1919 crop and at the same
time to safeguard the government
against losses was recommended to
congress by the department of agri-
culture and the food administration.
A memorandum sent to Representa-
tive Lever, chairman Of the house ag-
ricultural committee, made the follow
ing recommendations
rst-Extension by congress beyond
June 1. 1920, of the date for the gov
eminent purchase of the 1919 crop.
Second-Co Continuance of the food adj
ministration's grain corporation Or
creation of new agency to buy, store
and sell 1919 wheat that may be Of
fered to the government; and
Third-Possible legislative provi-
sions to protaect the government
against wheat or -four brought in from
other countries during the period of
effectiveness of the guaranteed price
and also to protect buyers of such
wheat as long as the wheat is in this
country and not consumed.
The memorial was compiled with
the approval of President Wilson. and
Secretary Houston in Submitting it
said: The government has made a
guaranty, and it goes without saying
that it must be made effective"
Regarding extension of the date of
government purchase the memoran-
dunn said: 1T will be impossible to
carry out the guaranty as it is intend
ed by June 1, 1920, and If producers
cannot sell their wheat to the United
States before that date and are left
with wheat on hand 1t will be felt
that the obligation of the United
States has not been carried out in
good faith"
Exports of 1918 wheat is estimated
at about $4,000 bushels, larger fig
ure than can be expected for the 1919
crop, because of shipments from Cam
ada, Australia, India and Argentina.
The 1919 crop for export, it was
pointed out, might sell in competition
with that from other countries at a
price considerably lower than the guar
anteed price, which probably would re-
suit in similar reductions at home.
