WASHINGTON, July l2.-Declaring
that the world Is looking to the United
states ito assume the responsibilities Of
leadership in education and science"
made vacant by Germany through the
war Commissioner Of Education Clax-
ton, in letter to college and university
presidents, made public to-day, asks that
steps be taken by American schools TO
attract students from Europe.
Apparently Germany expects to re-
gain the influence which she formerly
exerted over foreign nations by means OF
her universities, technical schools and
scientific institutes" Mr. Claxton's letter
says, pointing out that there is no i'm
mediate prospect that Germany can
make a successful appeal to the students
of Great Britain. France or Italy How
ever, the letter says. because Of proxim-
ity Germany may be able to draw stu.
dents from Czecho- Slovakia, JuEo-
Slavia. Russia. Rumania and western
Asia, but American schools, through the
Offering OF scholarships should be able
to counteract this advantage

Because the will OF the late Jacob II.

In the manufacture of plate glass in the
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, was
so involved with intricate phrases and
provisions and complicated by endless
trust funds. Justice James c. Cropsey
in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, after
a lengthy consideration decided yester-
day that the entire will was null and
void. The provisions are very incom-
plete and do not cover many contin-
sencies." said the Justice In his decision.
The decision OF Justice Cropsey will
leave the estate Of the decedent in the
same status as II no will had been made
and the next OF kin will have TO file
their claims for their share The es-
tate Is valued at million dollars. Mr..
Werbelovsky is survived by his widow,
two children Of his second marriage
and three sons and two daughters by

REORGANIZATION 7.
q TITLE is DROPPED
Community Councils of Ma
tional Defence So Decide at
Conference.
LABEL IS OyERWORKED
Meeting Is Held at Home Of
Mrs. Frank Yanderlip at
Scarborough.

Leaders of the Community Councils Of
National Defence believe that there is
something in n name, for yesterday at a
meeting at the home of Mrs. Frank
Vanderlip at Scarborough n-the- Hud-
son meeting at which plans for er-
tensive development OF their work were
discussed they voted to drop the title
"Americanization". from the campaign
which they are planning.
The campaign will be an Amercaniza-
ton one just the same leaders OF the
councils said, perhaps more so because
of the absence OF the much abused la
bel. II will include the promotion
through the community councils of ath-
letics, sports and social and civic work
OF all kinds This will be boosted with
all the might OF the councils, but 1t
will not be termed and proclaimed as an
"Anericanization'' movement.
Such was the decision at a round table
conference. Several hundred persons In
terested in the councils gathered in the
school auditorium on the Vanderlip es-
tate to listen to addresses upon the pro-
motion of their work.
Responsible for Rejection.
Allp0 i. buTIl5 was largely TctpOllSIDit
for the rejection of the patriotic but
somewhat tattered title. He told the
other champions OF the movement that
experience In the War Camp Community
Service had taught him that a thing was
more apt to succeed when II was not
strictly labelled. He spoke OF work ac-
compiished in the line of Americaniza-
ton through the promotion OF athletics
among aliens. He pointed out that such
measures caused foreigners to seek
.Americanization. whereas direct meth
DDS occasionally frighten away the very
elements that 1t is most desirable to
reach.
The geperal conference which followed
this discussion was attended by many
persons of social prominence who showed
great interest in the addresses of George
Gordon Battle and DR.. John Willis
Slaughter, who described the council
movement and spoke of its needs. Mrs.
Nanderlip also addressed the audience
upon the financial question, and eX-
planned that while the councils are gem
orally self-supporting after they have
been started. ii is necessary that SE,-
900 be raised to promote new organi-
cations.
Mr.. Battle. who presided. declared
that while New York city now has eigh-
ty-two community councils. 1t is the
hope of the promoters of the movement
to increase this number to 400. He
said that the general plan is far broader
than a mere Americanization OF alien
elements. The councils aim is to reach
all classes, creeds and races: to organ
ize all of the elements In every COM
munity into one central body for their
mutual welfare and advantage.
