STUDENTS DUEL AS 500 YEARS AGO

HEIDELBERG, Germany, March 49,
Sword dueling in the University of
Heidelberg is as popular and as COM
mon today as it was more than 500
years ago. when this oldest. Of Ger
man. schools was founded. Virtually
every student who has passed the
first year wears a sword scar on the
left side of his chin or the left cheek,
or a bandaged head which advertises
that the scar IL in the making.
Duels do not always arise from an
ger or Quarrels. but out Of the neces-
sity of providing the student with the
diploma of sword prowess. or to give
him sword practice which affords the
students great delight. They are
sometimes arranged, like a boxing
bout, by fraternities which have de-
yeloped certain differences of opin-
ion. Five-round duels are popular.
Surgeons stand by to sew up the
wounds after each round, which usual
ly last a minute" said a Heidelberg
man, who wore a deep scar on his
chin. III neither student is badly
damaged, the fight will go the full
number of rounds decided upon, after
which the stitches the surgeons have
taken will be counted and the man
with the. fewest stitches will be de-
clared the winner.

LONDON, March 19.-Amid the
maneuverings of governments on the
question Of disarmament. the peoples
of the world, who are not only ready
but anxious for concerted disarma-
ment, are wondering where the diff
Guilty of making progress lies.
The United States has a big ship
building program, it seems, but is
ready to discuss armament reduc-
tion.
Great Britain, owing, it is said,
"to the great increase in the naval
strength of the powers" is being
called upon by the government to
increase its navy. so that 1T always
may be the equal of any other single
power.
stnl the first lord of the British
admiralty declares he welcomes the
hint thrown out by. President Hard
ing regarding a disarmament con-
ference at an early date. He says
the suggestion will not only continue
to meet the most cordial and helpful
response here, but that he himself
will take part in the discussion.
In the meantime, unless something
definite is done, navy competition
promises to proceed apace. British
labor Is lined up whole-heartedly in
support of immediate steps to obtain
International disarmament. 1t has
gone SO far as to propose that no
further commitments for naval .ex-
pansion be entered into until efforts
to bring about disarmament have
been rejected by the leading powers
of the civilized world.
Labor feels that these powers
should be approached at once with
the request that joint consideration
be given to the possibilities Of dis
armament. what is required is for
one of the leading nations to take
the initiative.
President Harding could not better
signalize his advent to the high Office he
now holds than by issuing in the name
Of the American republic an invitation
to the other governments of the world
to take part at once in disarmament
discussions.
The European powers seem to be too
busy liquidating the war situation to
make a move. but great good for the
whole world might result from the pow
erful initiative of America
