EARTH CITIZENS
By JAMES HENLE, N. E. A. Special Correspondcnt.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Haye the in- habitants of Mars been attempting to communicate with us?
 This is the question which for the past week has been agitating scien- lists on both sides of the ocean. Mys- terious wireless signals have been re- celved both in this country and in England. Where do they come from /?
 Some scientists say Mars. Another asserts Venus. Others say they are the result Of disturbances on the sun
 Nicola Tesla, whose researches have resulted in important contributions to every field of electrical science and who IS especially well known as wireless expert, does not believe that The signals recently received come from Mars But he does assert that he himself has caught faint impulses over the wireless which cannot be ac- counted for except by the supposition that they come from Mars.
 These sounds were merely the se- quence of numbers, first one tap. then two taps. then three taps, the simplest idea that can be exchanged between persons without any medium of direct iinSual comrnunica ton. But the in ventor is of the opinion that if we answered >these we would finally be able to advance to more cornulex mes sages and that we could finall.- trans init photographs by wireless and con vey ideas through picture writing.
 Dr. Tesla has planned to answer these signals. and has designed a tower which would be able to deliver power at the rate of l. 900. 900 900 horse power and would. he thinks be strong enough to repeat to Mars the one, two, three signal he received from that planet.
 The inventor was asked about the mysterious wireless sounds recently heard.
 They are wholly of terrestrial origin he replied They have no connection whatever with tho strange

 majority of 3,s6o, sufficient figure to discourage any thought of contest by his defeated republican opponent L. T. Moulton.
 Tn the election of 1918 for the Sixty-si,ztn sress Mir Alexander defeated John F. Frost Captain Milligan's antagonist by the reduced majority of 1,793. That year there a slump all the try democratic Missouri especially hard hit. Yet in these discouragins and adverse conditions Mir Alexander reelected by about the same majority claimed Captain Millgan

 ITO most people the mere idea or flashing a signal over the immense gulf of a hun6reI million miles will naturally appear preposterous, but II is simply a feat of electrical engineer ing. apparently hazardous. but made perfectly feasible through inventions with which experts are familiar
 Tn attacking the problem of com munication with the planets we have two solid facts to build upon: first a machine can readily be produced by us of sufficient power to convey the disturbances at a distance. and, sec ond. our receiving instruments are sufficiently refined to record a signal from such a machine if it were situ- ated on Mars That the planets are inhabited is foregone conclusion.
 ..I believe that the time has come for serious attempt in that direc- ton. We could begin by erecting plant for transmitting signals convey ing the Knowledge of numbers, which would be the simplest truth that could be communicated to them and which would be answered immediately if the planet is populated by a race as civi- lized as ours.

RegiSfrafiOn Al University
 For This Year Has Broken All
 Records With I, 100 Enrolled

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUG SON, Feb. 14-Registration at the university for the school year 1919-2 has broken all records and before the close of the year may double the num- Der of students enrolled in any pre- vious year. There are HOO regularly registered students attending classes on the campus as compared with 6O5 last year. The grand total will include 7S who were registered for the summer term 103 correspondence students and 347 registered in the farmers short course. They will probably total 1,600
 Every section of the United States and several foreign countries are rep resented. There are students from 3S states in the union and from Canada, Mexico, England India, China, Spain and Ireland.
 California leads in the enrolment outside of Arizona with B represen- tatives, Texas is second with 20. Illi- nois and Ohio tie for third place with Ia, and Missouri and Indiana have F each. Also, there are students from 50 different towns in Arizona. Tucson leads with 232. Phoenix follows Tue son with 124- Other towns in propor- ton to their representation are: Bis bee. 21; Yuma, 20; Douglas, r; Pres colt, IS; Tempe, 16. and Globe, fl.
 About 100 new students have reg istered for the new semester. For this reason some freshman courses in Eng fish, Spanish and mathematics are to be repeated, thus making it compara- lively easy for student to begin his college course in the middle of the year.
 Twenty students failed in more than 50 per cent of the work carried and were forced to leave school. This is a rule of the university which must be put into force to keep up the standard. After one semester out of school, a student may return to take up his work With an additional 100 students coming in. and only 20 leaving, the need for rooms is as pressing as ever. The dormitories and fraternity houses have been crowded all year and many stu dents are living in private homes near the university. The completion of the new woman's dornitory will relieve the situation, but the building will not be ready for occupancy till the begin ming of the next school year
 There are also 150 federal board men who are reguarly stationed on the campus. Many of these men are taking regular courses.
