:, LENS, France. September 27.-Few
cities in France bear more scars Of
warfare than does Lens in northern
France. Before the German invasion
Lens was the most important coal
center in France. It's Inhabitants
numbered $4,000; it had a large ca
thedral. fine public schools and a
town hall. During the German ad-
vance in 1914 it was declared an open
town, and the German army on en-
tering it did no damage. The Ger
mans remained, exploiting the mines
until 1916, when the British made a
sudden advance to Loos. The Ger
mans, fearing that the British would
take the city, sent the people away
and destroyed almost all the build
ings.
But the British remained in Loos
and the Germans continued to occupy
Lens until the armistice was signed,
when they were compelled to depart.
During the final fighting they dyna-
united all the houses that had not
been destroyed in 1916 and hacked
the trees bordering the road, so that.
though seemingly intact, they fell
with the first gust of wind. The
scene that now meets the eye as one
enters Lens is one Of chaos. Every
where are heaps Of broken brick and
twisted wire. Here and there smoke
rising from a pile of debris indicates
that under the ruins some family
lives in the cellar of a demolished
house.

PROFESSORS HAVE INNING.
Big Business Lurfng Them Away
From Colleges.

Business is trying TO lure college pro
fessors from their chairs. This dlscov.
cry has been made within the past few
months by numerous boards OF trustees
and has been further emphasized by
Harvard's S11,o00,000 endowment fund
campaign. The war was the college pro-
fessors and the college mans opportu-
nifty, II WAS said yesterday at Columbia
by Prof Geooge d. Strayer OF Teachers
College. "It opened up a new field for
men with specialized college training.
The American Peace Delegation required
the services OF great number of ex-
perts. and very large proportion was
taken directly from the faculties OF the
colleges and universities. The war was
a war OF specialists, and these were only
to be found In colleges.
Business men are seeing moro clearly
than ever the value for them in employ
Ing expert talent. Therefore they are
competing with tho colleges for the ser
vices OF professors. And Of course the
college cannot hold their teachers unless
they raise salaries. Some Institutions
have realized this. The University of
Kansas has advanced salaries by IS per
cent The University OF Nebraska has
raised them from l6 to rs per cent. The
University OF Illinois has asked for a
large increase. Harvard's campaign Is
being watched with intense interest by
college men all over the country.

RARITAN CANAL PLAN
BACKED BY NUGENT
Waterway to BordentotDn Is
Called State Need.

Declaring his belief that the most inn
portant problem confronting the nation
is the efficient and economical distribu-
ton of products, James n. Nugent, who
Is seeking the Democratic nomination
for Governor Of New Jersey, issued
statement yesterday .favoring the pro-
posed intracoastal canal to connect
Morgan on the Raritan River with Bor-
dentown on the Delaware River.
The transportation facilities of the
whole country are and have been un-
equal to its present need" said Mr.. Nu-
gent They must be made equal to
the burdens they bear, or the country
cannot prosper 1t 10 then apparent
that we cannot anticipate immediate
relief from the railroads and we must
look elsewhere for a remedy. As a state
We cannot stand still. Overlooked for
years. save by the sagacity of the few to
whom we owe the idea of inland water
ways. we now recognize that In the
great primary scope Of things our
waterways were meant to serve as
highways for our commerce and to pro-
vide interstate communication.
Mr.. Nugent said he thought the pro-
posed canal would mean the speedy de-
velopment OF Middlesex. Monmouth,
Ocean. Burlington and Mercer counties
and also operate to the advantage OF
every other county OF the State.

NAVY GRAFT CASE
TO INVOLVE MORE
Other Officers Likely to Face
Charges Similar to
Ellert's.

An abundance OF charges of graft in
connection with the sale of soft berths
in the navy to wealthy slackers was
promised yesterday by an officiai Of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The untried
charges, 1t was said, include accusations
Of the sale Of questions and answers to
asplrants for commissions who were
about to take examinations.
This announcement followed the con-
fession Of Lieut.. Junior grade) Benoit
]. Ellert that he had conspired to pro-
vide bomb proof jobs during the war
for a financial consideration. Lieut.
Ellert appeared before the court-martial
In the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday
morning to listen to a formal reading
of papers connected with the case.
Capt Roy c. Smith, presiding officer
of the court, announced that he would
await orders from Washington before
passing sentence upon the ofiicer. The
court will sit again tomorrow.
At the yard It was said yesterday
that a number of officers who have been
seeking discharge are being held In the
service because of limitations that they
were involved in the frauds. The naval
authorities plan to press their inquiry
with all possible speed to silt to the
bottom many of the current rumors.
They will also inquire into alleged
dishonesty in connection with the dis
rosal of certain Government supplies
and waste. and it is the belief at the
ward that a number OF officers before
long will find themselves In as unpleas-
ant a situation as Ellert. who faces
POSSIBLE sentence of more than 10 years
lmprisonment.

Frank Oliver. chief clerk Of the City

company agents. heads of the Police De-

Mr.. Oliver pointed out that very fire.
quently insurance companies reinsure
cars that have been stolen. and when
the car record becomes known have to
stand the loss, 1t is comparatively easy
for thieves to alter the car numbers by
the use Of a stamp similar TO that used
by the manufacturers, and he suggested
that car owners adopt individual devices
or some other method of positive identi-
fication.
He also recommended the creation OF
central bureau which would cooperate
with other States in maintaining q
ready reference Identification of all
motor cars The bureau would aid ma
terially in rounding up car thieves, he
believes. Insurance companies would
apply first TO this bureau for the cars

policies. and In that way would avoid
possibility of loss.
In registering cars Mr.. oliver would
have the engine number. type of cas-
and other details to provide complete

would prove mutually helpful to the

PELHAM BAY HOME
FOR ADDICTS FOUGHT
City Island Residents in Fear
of Reign of Terror When
Drug Users Arrive.

John Kadel, a lawyer. issued a state
ment from his Office, 372 East 14sth
street, yesterday, IN which he declares
that residents OF City Island had hired
him to lead a campaign of protest
against the conversion OF the Pelham
Bay Naval Barracks into hospital for
drug addicts.
Mr.. Kadel vigorously protests II is
matter OF record that go per cent. Of
drug addicts are men ana women with
criminal instincts. and 1t was quite GER
tain that the presence OF such folks was
not going to elevate the dignity or the
atmosphere of either beautiful Pelham
Bay Park or City Island"
He terms such invasion OF Pelham
Bay Park an invasion OF the rights Of
the people" and declares that the resi-
dents of the envlrons of the park were
willing enough 70 surrender the place
to the use OF the navy. but that Health
Commissioner Copeland was coming II
bit strong In seeking to turn the place
into a drug farm. Especially Mr.. Kadel
protests against such conversion mas
much as everybody thought that the
United States Government was going to
appropriate money for the restoration
OF the park to it's prewar beauty. He
declares that the residents of City Is
land and of Westchester have been
aroused to a state OF nervous frenzy"
Mr. Kadel cites the City Island folks
as seeing their homes being looted at
night and perhaps members of the fami-
lies molested." His clients, he says,
object to being thrown into IAN atmos-
phere of misfortune and immortality"
To crystalline their protests represen-
tatives OF the discounted residents of
that locality will hold a mass meet
ing on Monday night in Thwaite's Com
munity Hall. City Island avenue.

from duties while knowing that the
babies are perfectly cared for.
The commission has decided also to
permit free use OF the boats on Hessian
Lake. The water from the famous Bear
Mountain spring Is free also. Moreover.
the commission has taken pains to see
that reasonable prices are charged by
the hotels and automobile companies.
Mr.. Perkins has been president OF the

vats sources nearly 100000 for the
