Saturday evening the school
house doors were forced and the
locks broken off and the building
was entered and considerable da-
mage was done by the parties en-

 Occupy Scientists

Washington, April 26.-Whether there is one great universe, perhaps 10 times as large as commonly be- lieved, or million "island" uni versed similar to that of which the earth is part, was discussed at to- nights session of the annual meet ing of the national academy of scienees.
 Dr. Heber D Curtis of Lick Obser- vatorv. Cal. defended the old idea thet the milky way contributed prac- ticallv all the stars. all the planetary and diffused nebulae and the star clusters.
 Dr. Harlow Shapley of the Mount Wilson solar observatory, advanced the theory of galaxy of stars 10 or more times larger than the milky way. Beyond this galaxy, he declar- ed. there undoubtedly are hummer able universes, the only traces of which appear as dim star clusters thru the telescope.
 Another discussion concerned twins in the human family, Dr. Chas A. Davenport of the Carnegie insti- tnte. ppresented study showing that about 1.1 per cent of human births were plural and that twins are es- pecially apt to occur in families on which the mother or father, or both have close blood relatives who were twins. tsg

A free school for ex-service men, teaching any branch or study, will be established in Pine Bluff by the Knights of Columbus, provided as many as 100 former service men enroll as students, according to an announcement made at the meeting of the local post of the American Le- zion.
 The tuition is free and the only requirement is that the man be an ex-service man. Such schools as this are being and have been es- tablished by the Knights of Colum- bus from a fund subscribed by the K. C.'s during the latter days of the war, and which has not been spent.
 One has been established in Little Rock and if there are not enough men in Pine Bluff interested, the one which is proposed for here will go to Fort Smith, it is stated. A re- quirement of the school is that there be as many as 15 men in each class, or total of 100 men in the school Glasses are not confined to any set of academic subjects, but teach cot ton chasing, and other practical sub- jRcts. as well as any other subject which as many as 15 men desire to take.

SAN RENO MEETING ENDS WITH NATIONS IN OPTIMISTIC MOOD French Demand for Mote to Creditor" Are Met by
 Council BRITISH ALTITUDE IS
 ALSO OBSERVED Fixing of Definite Sum Which Ger many Must Pay Is Regarded Also as Likely to Have Salutary Effect.

San Reno, April 26.-The results of the supreme councils io-day meeting are such that each govern ments taking part seems to consider it's aspirations have been measurably satisfied. The premiers and foreign ministers parted in great personal cordiality and apparently with much more confidence in the near future.
 The councils note to Germany. in it's Intentionally harsh form ;, com- plies with the French attitude to- ward d defaulting creditor, while in substance it is an explanation of the British policy making it easier for Germany to pay through the coun- cil and to discuss with her govern ment the amount of reparatlon, and the willingness of the allies to eX- anime proposals.
 France also gains in this, for, as Paul Hymans, the Belgian foreign minister, remarked today: French hopes may be reduced, but her reali- ties will be increased" by the fixing of sum for Germany to pay.
 M. Jaspar, the Belgian minister of reconstruction, says that if such a sum is agreed upon the Germans will start earnestly to work because heretofore there has been no induce ment for them to pay any part of the unknown and vaguely enormous liabilities.
 The word "revision" is wholly eschewed by the prime ministers in talking of the treaty of Versailles; the word ''interpretat tion" is coming into use. The Italian premier, Sign or Nitti, appears to be content over the council leaving the Adriatic question to a continuance of direct negotiations with the Jugo-Slavs.
 The Belgians are satisfied because they believe the western powers, Great Britain, France and Belgium, remain as solid as ever against Ger many. The Belgians also are for the immediate fixing of the amount of Germany's debts to the allies.
 The attitude of the council was conciliatcry toward Russia in in stlucting the executive, or so-called permanent committee of the supreme economic council to negotiate with the soviet representative, Krassin, for commercial arrangements.
 The Zionists are happy over Pales- tine as they wish national home.
 The Turks alone may feel that this has been a dark week for them; yet Cilicia which it had been expected France would take, has been left to Turkey. But the French states men decided upon taking no further commitments in the near east, except Syria and thus save troops, money and worry. The Turks also still have a chance to receive Erzerum thru the arbitration of President Wilson in the matter of the Armenia i boundaries.
 The British minister, Lloyd George feels this has been one of the most successful meetings the supreme council has yet held, one of prom ise for the future of Europe and the restoration of economic cooperation
