WHERE TO PUT "U" LAW
SCHOOL IS QUESTION

Where to find suitable and ade-
quate quarters for the state universe
ty law school for next year, now To-
Gated in the basement OF Davis hall,
is a question which is puzzling uni
versity heads, and several conferences
over the matter have been held re-
Gently.
Davis hall, the room in the Com
mons building nov used as the
Women's league room, or space in
the new chemistry building are sew
eral Of the few alternatives confront
ing the university people. Objections
have been raised to all of them, how
ever.
Davis hall, which is now in use as
a mems dormitory, will be taken over
by the women next a and the
space in the basement now in use by
the law school will probably be re-
quired for other purposes. The old
cafeteria room in. the Commons, to
which the university law. school was
moved from its downtown quarters
early last summer, Is o being util-
lied by the University Women's league
as a club room and a general meet
ing place. . b
Objection to use Of space in the
new chemistry building is raised on
the ground that all space in the
chemistry building will be required
for chemistry classes and that the
general plan OF the building was not
drawn up originally with needs Of the
law school in mind.

Turn The Clock Back

velva, N. D.. April 14.-An attempt
to return to the "old time" in velva
has resulted in considerable confusion,
but the state law which requires that
schools open at 8 o'clock and close at
4 o'clock, has served to settle the is
sue.
Residents of the rural districts petit
toned to have the school opened at
10 o'clock, new time, equivalent to 9
o'clock old time. The school board
accepted the suggestion. when city pa
irons became interested, petitioned to
have the regular hours of school re-
established, and when they produced
the state law, they carried the day.

TO WITHDRAW OFFER
 OF SERVICE IN EIRopE

Washington, June 25.-Offer of ser vice Tn Europe to recruits obtained under volunteer enlistment will he withdrawn under orders prepared bv the war department. The policy of sending regular officers overseas ia relelVe those in the American exne- dltlonary fo~tes also will be aban. doned.
 This action was said to have result ed from the improved situation in EAurope growing out of the imminent signing or the peace treaty. In the or ders officers here foresaw an early re- turn or all troops now abroad ex
 centing the comparatively small American contribution to the army of occupation. Secretary Baker said today he had not been advised from Paris as to the size or the American army which is to
 be maintained for the time being in Germany. The fact that the Fourth andp Fifth divisions of regulars were definitely slated for return in June until the crisis of last week caused the cancellation of these plans, is cited here as evidence that the American 1 forces will not be larger than three | divisions, or about 12O. 900.
 It IS estimated that the First. Sec
 ond and Third divisions would re- | quire around 10000 replacements to
 take the place of men in those organ
 1zations who are eligible for discharge Voluntary enlistments totalling more
 than 10000 men already have been re- | ported, thus forcing the department
 to cancel it's offer of European service l to volunteers =

SECOND BRAVEST MAN
 THE WAR PRODUCED

Camp Dix. N. J., June 25.-Another humble American doughboy took his place in the hall of fame today in the person of Private Frank Gaffney Company G, 108th Infantry, the Twenty Seventh Division (New York National Guard).
 Sergeant Alvin York of Pail Mall, Tenn, is the only man in the Amer ;can army credited with larger bag of prisoners than Gaffney. The lan- ky Tennesseean brought in 132 Ger mans but he had 9 few men to help him round them up, while the New Yorker all alone and suffering from a wound which cost him one of his arms. piloted eighty into the Amer ican lines.
 "You're the second bravest man the war produced" declared Major Gen. eral McHale when he pinned the con- gressional medal of honor on the breast of the blushing Gaffney. Here is the official citation which won the highest military honor the nation car bestow:
 "On September 29 at Ransart. wher his lieutenant and sergeant had beer killed, Private Gaffney assumed com mand of the platoon and continued or | to the objective. a German machine | gun nest. Gaffney was the only mar to reach the objective. Bravely ant
 skillfully handling machine gun ant hand grenades he killed several of th' enemy and brought back eighty o l them to the American lines"

 There was no indication as to how the committee would have voted. but several of the leading prohibition members agreed tonight that the sale of beer and light wines might be per- mitted until January by presidential proclamation, the wisest thing to do was to report out the wartime bill the first thing tomorrow and the consti- tutional bill later in the day In this way there is every assurance, they said, that the wartime bill would be passed probably by hath houses be- fore the end of the month, at which time the dry" act becomes effective.
