a kick from a horse which Cosgrove

north and east soon after the
outbreak of the war, lured by high
wages offered in industrial plants.

dreds of others. unable to make the
homeward trek because of lack Of
funds, are sending appeals to their
former employers for tickets on
which to travel back to Dixie, ac-
cording to figures gathered by the
Macon News.
Virtually all of those who return
and those who are writing for funds
state they have been thrown out of
employment and now find themselves
faced with the prospect of a hard
winter in strange land.
Returning negroes all tell the
same story. The high wages receiv-
ed counted very little with them as
they were more than offset by the
high cost of living in the industrial
centers to which they went Practi-

Colleges Set Record
In Increased Rosters
AS New Term Starts

American youths entering colleges
and universities have increased in
numbers to such a degree during the
last six years that if the proportion

there will be 1,138,000 students in
210 institutions, where $4,000 were
enrolled last year. These figures.

service, of which Julius H. Barnes
question of where the money to edu-
cate these larger groups of students
will come from.
Mr.. Barnes finds that this years
increase in the number of students
enrolled in the college sets a new
record. Colleges which in 1914 had
$4,000 students and last year 294,-
900 will enroll 471,000 in 1880, and
SS1, 900 in 1850, if they continue the
grow at the average percentage rate
Of the last six years they will have
$4,000 students in 1880 and 1,13S,0O0
twenty years later.
Taking the lower estimate for
1850, says Mr.. Barnes, it, means
times the total for 1920, at six or
seven times the salary cost. 1t
means, too, he asserts the adding
of $4,000 students, or 200 colleges
the size of Yale last year:/'Will the
money to provide education for the
increased number of students come
from taxation, endowment, private
gifts and larger fees?" he asks.
Must present universities grow or
more universities be built?"
The largest increase within the
last six years is credited to the Col
lege of the City of New York, with
growth of $500. The University of
California follows next, with an in
crease of 5000, and then Boston
University with 400. Yale was one
of the four institutions which had
fewer students than six years ago,
its decrease being eightY-one.

They departed without consent of
the French authorities in control
here, and many did not hold Ameri-

United States consul in this city, is
understood to have notified the State
Department in Washington that the
steamer does not bear a proper bill
of health.
The ship, which was formerly the
Germanic. of the White Star Line, is
the property of a Turkish company,
but is under charter by Greeks. She
has been the subject of involved dis

NEW YORK.-Edwin Waters,
chief prohibition enforcement agent
for the western district of New York.
with headquarters in Bu&alo, yester-
day, swooped down with almost 100
men upon Yonkers, whose wet wick
edness recently has been called to
the attention of the world by William
H Anderson, state superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon league. He raided
thirty-one saloons and arrested TWEEN
ty-five men.
Six Of the places searched yielded
no liquor and at two of them the
raiders were baffled temporarily.
one of the latter was Henry Diet
rich's saloon at los Yonkers avenue.
The searchers found nothing incrimi-
noting in the place but decided before
departing to glance into a safe which
stood in a corner of the room.
They asked Mr.. Dietrich to open
it. Mr. Dietrich scratched his head
and said he couldn't for the life of
him recollect what the combination
of that safe was. He hardly ever
opened it, he said. and what with the
excitement and all, the manner of
doing so had slipped his mind COM
pletely.
The thre emen assigned to search
Mr.. Dietrich's premises are men of
muscle and determination. They
looked at Mr.. Dietrich and they
looked at the safe. which stands
