the millions upon millions in all the
twenty-seven nations involved whose
deaths. directly or indirectly, were
caused by the conflict. General Won
ALTRocK estimates that the total
number of Germans who lost their
lives as the direct or indirect conse-
quence Of the war was 10000, 900.
This would be at the rate OF 1928

lasted. This is guess; the total for

Plant Willows Now.
Fine Trees to BE Had by Thrusting
Twigs Into the Ground.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: Now is
the time to plant willows. Young trees
are not required. just take a stick OF
fresh cut willow about three feet long
and plant IT one foot in the earth. 1t
will take root.
Few trees are as pretty in spring as
the willows. They grow rapidly and
make fine shade trees, but, best Of all.
they arc the finest drainers known.
They should not be put near water
pipes. but IL placed near a damp place.
the dampness will soon disappear
marvel that there are so very few
willows In our public parks. They are
hardy and not susceptible to disease.

Cleaning Up College Sport.

American colleges are going into
the reorganization of their athletic
systems broadcast.
Princeton University's action in ac-
cordance with the promise of COM
mittee from Harvard, Yale and
Princeton that the three universities
would clean up college athletics
has resulted in the barring of eigh-
teen athletes from participation In
college sports. The reason, frankly
announced. is that these students are
being aided financially by alumni of
the college. 1t Is evident that the
faculty is entirely earnest in the
matter, for one of the men is captain
elect Of the football team and another
captain of the baseball team. The
attitude of the faculty is highly COM
mendable in adhering so strictly to
both the letter and the spirit of the
agreement among the three colleges.
In justice to the young men the
faculty cannot make it too clear that
nothing dishonorable Is charged or
implied against them. The academic
requirements at Princeton always
have been high. All OF these eigh-
teen Students have met those stand
ards. The only trouble seems to be
that when an old grad picks stu
dent to send to the alma mater he
picks him rather for breadth of
shoulder than for breadth of fore
head. The alumni are not bothered
by reports that their colleges have
fallen down academically, but they
suffer great mental anguish when
their college teams are beaten at
football or on the track by their an
cient rivals. Hence the alumni re-
cruit Drawn rather than brain. Send
ing mere dig back to the dear old
college will not bring any great glory
to the alma mater, but good drop
kicker and line plunger certainly
will. The fact remains, nevertheless,
that Chief Justice TAFT's plea for
scholarship before athletics is OF the
utmost Importance.
Harvard and Yale are passing
through the same phase that has pro-
duced these results at Princeton, and
the Princetonians expect the same
frankness from the other members
of the collegiate trinity because the
investigation which was made at
Princeton was made under an agree
ment with Harvard and Yale to go
thoroughly into the finances Of every
student in athletics.
The alumni OF Harvard and Yale
are quite as philanthropic as those
of Princeton and, like the alumni of
Princeton, they have been aiding
some broad shouldered youths to get
the full benefits OF a university train
ing and some Of the best football
coaching available. Some persons
may think Princeton is leaning over
backward in the effort to keep its
sports absolutely above suspicion.
The other two should lean with
Princeton.
Another important step In college
athletics reform has been taken by
the presidents OF eleven New Eng
land and New York colleges. includ-
ing Williams, Amherst and Bowdoin.
They recommend to their faculties
and trustees the abolition of the sea-
sonal coach in all sports. This may
lead to dispensing with all coaches.
At least it should end the ridiculous
practice OF hiring professional ath-
letes at salaries higher than the col
lege presidents receive.

MISS HoLsTMAN IN SONGS.

Sometimes Well Produced.

Miss Orpha K,sndall Holstman, So
prano. gave a song recital yesterday
afternoon in Aeolian Hall. 1t was a.
true song recital in that there was not
an opcratic aria on the program.
1t was not formidable list that the
singer offered, but it seemed to be quite
as exacting as her abilities could en-
dure. She disclosed voice OF pretty
quality. sometimes well produced and
sometimes rather unkindly treated Her
diction was fair and her style generally
indicated that she had been carefully
coached. But there was no impressive
individuality in her delivery. which
seemed to be that of vocalist with no
generous musical equipment She was
heard by friendly audience.

the paper rs though he did not know

he stood folding and unfolding 1t. and

A little later. as Constance stood mt

saw Henry's roadster appear out Of
