GAMBLING IN JUAREZ
IS OPPOSED BY CITY
COUNCIL OF e PASO

FL Paso. Tex. Feb. G.--The
mayor and city council of +! Paso
have gone on record as being OPP
posed to gambling of any sort In
JuareZ and especially in gambling
as it is carried on at present. They
have passed a resolution which
said that gambling In Juarez as it
is now conducted Is not game of
chance but highway robbery"
The courcil. in its resolution,
also said that $4,000 of money
which would be spent Or saved in
FL Paso is lost daily in JuareZ
through games Of chance. The
protest was made because of the
numerous reports Of robberies
where Americans thought they
were playing a game of chance but
came out "buncoed.' and some
times drugged when they thought
they were buying liquor in "reput-
able" gambling halls.
The newspapers have been fight

in Juarez and the city council sup
ported the papers in their cam
paign against gambling.

REPRISALS ARE ACTS
OF OPPRESSION, SAYS

Belfast, Feb. G.-The Lenten
pastoral letters read today by
Ulster Catholic bishops were de-
voted to the situation in Ireland.
That of Cardinal Logue, primate
Of ireland, declared
"The cry of suffering Ireland,
despite efforts to smother 1t by

centuries, making a sorry place in
history for the present rulers
He added
"There has been no word Of con-
ciliation, but repression, such as
outstrips any example except That
of perhaps Turkey and the Dol
sheviki."
Cardinal Iogue said the policy Of
the government had robbed II of all
sense of sacredness of human life
and extinguished the instructive
horror of blOodshed, lie declared
that the s0-called official reprisalS
ware acts of wantOn oppression and
injustice; that men guiltless Of any
overt act were dragged out at night
and shot before their families; that
prisoners were shot under the plea
of attempting to escape, though
they were surrounded by armed
men.
Poor people, who instinctive)y
run to cover when they see formid-
able lorries approaching are shot

"Latterly," he declared. "even

BULK OF PRIZES
Americans Take More FirStS
and Seconds Than the
English, According to
Statistics lust Compiled.
Try The Associnted Press.l

Concord n. H., Feb. GA com
parison of records which shows
that American Rhodes scholars
take more first and seconds in the
honor schools of oxford university
than the English honor men is con
tanned in a statistical study Of the
work OF the American scholars
published in tho January number
of the American Oxonian, issued
today. This magazine is edited by
Prof. Frank Ayde1otte, American
secretary of the Rhodes scholar
ships.
The study of the Rhodes schol-
ers' records was prepared BY Prof.
r. w. Burgess of Brown univer-
sity. In 1t are collected for the
first time facts concerning these
men. their preparation in the
United States, their records at OK
ford and their careers since their
return.
About four-fifths of the men take
the oxford b. A. degree in one Oh
the final honor schools and one
fifth take research degrees. Al
though the Americans lead the
English honor men in first and Sec
onds, their standing il not so high
as that of the English scholarship
men who are trained from their
public school days in the type of
work represented by oxford exam
nations.
Five hundred odd Rhodes schol-
ars have been appointed from the
United States. representing III
American colleges and universities.
At oxford one-half of them studied
law, one-sixth modern history or
economies, one-siXth humanlnes
including classics and English lit
erature, and the remainder studied
a wide range of professional and
cultural subjects. ...... T..
OF those who had year or more
at oxford before the war. 70 per
cent represented their colleges on
one of the various athletic teams,
Fourteen per cent represented OK
ford against Cambridge in athletics,
More than one-third of the schol-
ars on their return 20 this country
have gone into university or col
lege teaching. about one-fourth are
practicing law, more than 10 per
cent are in business and the Others
have engaged in government serv-
ice, social and religious work. med,
icine, scientific, literary and edi-
torial occupations.
Professor Burgess points out thai
the expectation of Cecil Rhodes
founder Of the scholarships. 'or at
least of some of the early writers
on the subject" was that the
Rhodes scholars would enter poll
ties lin the English sense" or &c
into the diplomatic service.
"But neither of these lines says
Professor Burgess, affords a ca
reer in the United States for a man
with his own way to make; the or
ganization of the diplomatic serv'
ice rather than the scholars or the
scholarship plan is to blame fol
this imperfect fulfillment Of early
expectations.
