MORE IN SCHOOL
Twenty Per Cent Increase in
Enrolment at Washburn.
Capacity of College Is Crowded
to the Limit.

The total enrolment at Washburn
college of the students who are regular
members of the freshman, sophomore,
junior and senior classes is us, an
increase of 20 per cent over the en-
rollment at the same time last year.
This is exclusive of a large number of
students taking special courses in the
school of fine arts.
The capacity is crowded to the limit.
There are not seats enough in the
chapel for all the students supposed
to attend regularly. There are 671
students and 554 seats. This raises a
problem which the officers of the COL
lege have not solved. The students
are greatly interested in learning who
will be excused from chapel attend
ance on account of the lack of room.
Most of the class rooms are over
crowded at the 9'and 10 o'clock recita-
ton periods. Every available room on
the entire campus is occupied. This
condition emphasizes the necessity of
increasing the number of buildings if
the college is to meet the demands of
the people of the state.
To accomplish this it will be neces-
sary to raise the 100000 addition to
the Washburn endowment fund.
President Womer expects to do that
during the coming year. It is posi-
bic that the construction of a new
dormitory for girls will be undertaken
before next spring. which would per-
init the law classes to meet in Hol-
brook hall, now used as dormitory.

crease the capital stock of the insti-
tuition from 100000 to $500, 900.
The institution will retain a surplus
of 100000 instead of $780, 600 as at

ing October 20, the bank would have

With the announcement of plans to

give a special IS per cent dividend.
This additional earning may be ap-
piled by stockholders on the purchase
ent holdings or may be taken in cash.
$46,75S.58 in Undivided Profits.
Capital, surplus and undivided
profits of the bank al the present time
amount to nearly $3.50 900. In a state
bank shows an undivided profits &C
count of $46,75S.5s. Assets of the
bank as given in the statement
amount to 4,512,01O 90
Under the federal banking law a
national bank cannot declare a stock
dividend. Consequently stockholders
of the Central National will exercise
the option of taking a cash dividend
and paying the difference between the
85 per cent special disbursement and
the face value of new stock

cry other union organization, with the
result of annihilation of the labor

will begin to take place Immediately

American treaty. Senator Lodge, of
Massa chusetts, the Republican leader
and chairman OF the senate foreign

are going to do about the peace
treaties.

1t was announced that a conference
of the Democratic members of the
senate foreign relations committee
would be held upon the return next
week of Senator Hitchcock, Of Ne
braska, Pittman, of Nevada, and Will
hams, of Mississippi who were absent
from yesterdays committee meeting.
Hitchcock is the only Democratic
senator who has thus far expressed
approval of the treaties.

owed by a caucus of the entire Dem
ocratic membership of the senate. to
determine, if it is possible, what
course the minority shall pursue re-
garding the treaties.
1t was the purpose of Senator
Lodge. Republican, of Massachusetts,

was taken up first. asked for prompt
action and gave assurances of time
for reasonable debate"
After the presidents letter, written

transmitted, was read. Senator Pom
creme. Democrat, Ohio, interjected
that apparently the congressional
peace resolution was not sufficient to
effect peace.
1T ended the war as far as the
United States is concerned but was
not a treaty of peace" Senator Lodge
said.
He went on to say that Secretary of
State Hughes was to be congratulated
for his work in negotiating the treaty,
which. Mr.. Lodge said, reserved to the
United States all privileges and bene-
fits of the treaty CT Versailles.
