The conference listened with the
closest attention to the remarks OF
Lionel Curtis the representative of the
British Colonial Office, who is here as
lecturer. Mr.. Curtis discussed sew
eral phases of the question of propa-
garda, but because of his official posi-
tion requested that his remarks be
kept in confidence.
Papers Here Most Independent
One of the speakers--an American
correspondent abroad--developed the
point that a newspaper which appeared
as propagandist for any country or
group of people weakened it's position
in regard to its readers. The confer
ence seemed to be in general agreement
with this view. There was also com
plete agreement that American news
papers were freer and more indepen-
dent than those of any other country,
and that the American government
could not exert the influence on the
national press which is exerted by Eu-
ropean governments on their news
papers.
DR.. Josef Redlich, the former Aus
TRAN Minister of Finance, and Pro
fessor Michael I. Pupin, of Colum bia
University, were to-day's public lee
turers, the latter having as his subject,
The Attitude of the Jugo-Slavs Toward
the Near East Problem He said:
"The Jugo-Slav state is under obliga-
tons to the Greeks, but it will never
back Greece if Greece insists that she
must have the last word in the settle
ment of the Near East problem. The
Jugo- Slav peasant understands very
clearly that this settlement is in the
hands of England and France, the
leaders of European civilization, and
he is willing to leave it there, in spite
OF his deep sympathy with the just
national aspirations of the Greek
people.
Fear Franco British Break
but the Jugoslav pessimist points
out that England and France are di-
vided, and asks what will happen if a
break occurs and England and France
send utimatums to Belgrade demand
ing that the Jugoslav state join one
side or the other. The suggestion is a
horrible one and can originate in the
head of pessimst only but the pessi-
mist says that the situation suggested
by him alphabetically is neither ridicu-
lous nor is it impossible, and that
other existing situations in Europe of
to-day would have appeared much
more bcwildering and impossible not SO
many years ago.
This hypothetical break between
England and France in the Near East,
dragging into it Balkan nations, has
been made for the purpose Of describ-
ing the line of gloomy thought of
some pessimists in the Jugoslav state.
Every sane person in that state hopes
and prays that the break may never
occur and that the wisdom Of England

death Watch" Beetle
Being Fought With Gas

London, Jan. 13.-The death
watch" beetle is being fought with
poison gas in the ancient Westmin-
ister Hall, the scene of many memo
able events in British history.
The famous beamed roof of carv-
ed oak, dating from the year 1899,
was discovered some time ago to be
seriously menaced by the borngs of
wood beetles which had been breed
ing there for centuries.
The first gas that was experiment.
ed with to kill the beetles nearly
proved fatal to the cleaners. Then
another chemical was tried and this,
it is claimed, will make the historic
edifice safe for another six or seven
centuries.
= AS this gas is heavier than air
it penetrates into the lobbies of the
adjacent House of Commons, and il
can therefore only be used wher
Parliament is not sitting.

"Goldsn Tooth" Charged
With Assassination

Lisbon, Jan. l3.--A sailor common
ly known, as Golden TOOTH" is the
principal member among the ten per-
sons who have been charged with
participating in the assassination of
Prmcicr Granjo and several other
Portuguese statesmen in the revolu-
tion which took place OH the 10th of
October.
The sailor admits that he accom-
panied the other soldiers and sailors
in the raids uron the homes of the
statesmen but contends that he did
so 20 save The lives of those who had
been chosen as victims of the revolu-
tionaries.
Golden Tooth" has figured in two
dramatic incidents in the course Of
the Investigation still progressing.
Confronted by The son and brother of
Admiral Machado Santo, founder of
the Portuguese Republic and one Of
the aSsassinatcd men, he was accused
by both of them as one OF the most
cruel and iNsolont of the savage
group Of men who broke into the
Santos house and dragged him to his
death.
a similar s1ane occurred when
Bertha da Aaia, widow of Command
er Carlos da maia, another Of the
victims, was brought face to face
with this sailor in court. Pointing
a him. she burst into sobs and cried:
"The.C stands my husbands assassin.
When The others hesitated, when on
my knees before them, holding my
baby in my arms, implored them to
spare my husbands life, that wild
beast there, seeing they were inclined
to mercy shouted at them and pushed
my husband into hteir midst, asking
them if they were going to let live
the man who had sent them to Africa
four years before. And they took
liza away and murdered him."
Among those ac c-uscd Of partici
patton in the outrages are Benjamin
Pereira, midshipman; Sergeant
Heitor and Corporal Abel Olympic.
Olympic is accused of being the first
to shoot at Admiral Santos and Com
mander Nlaia.

Study Of Foreign
Languages Decreases

Chicago, Jan. l3.--The study of
foreign languages has decreased 3.5S
per cent in IS leading colleges and
universities of this country during the
eight year period of 191I.l2 to 1919
20, according to the results Of n study
OF the distribution of student hours of
instruction sa submitted to the Asso-
cation of American colleges BY Pres
ident Frederick c. Ferry, of Hamil-
ton college, Clinton, N. Y, here to.
day.
The report said the college from
which this average was obtained are:
Amherst, Bowdoin. Brown, Bryn
Mawr. Columbia, nartiaowth, Uamil-
ton, Harvard, Mount Holyol;e, Oberlin,
Princeton, Smith. Stanford, Welles-
ley, Wesleyan, Williams, Wisconsin,
and Yale. The tGb!ya presented show
ed IL percentages the proportion Of
the total number Of hours taken in
each subject to the total number Of
hours taken in all subjects. The re
suits were presented in general for
undergraduates in the schools Of lib
eral arts and sciences only. The de-
cline was from 24.92 to 2l.34 per cent.
The largest decrease IS shown at Wis
ccnsin, followed by Yale. Columbia.
Smith, Mt. Holyokc and Princeton IN
order. Columbia shows the largest
increase in the science group, amount
ing to 15.47 per cent while i. is close
ly followed by Bowdoin with Yale and
Brown in next order. In all The other
subjects of the curriculum taken to-
gether an average increase Of PIT
per cent is in effect This increase is
nearly all covered by the larger
amount of attention given to econom-
les.
The greatest changes in the distri-
button of student hours of instruction
have occurred at Bowdoin, Columbia
and Smith, while the smallest have
been at Harvard, Wesleyan and Wei
lesley. President Fcrry's report con
tinues:
"At present Williams (33.49 per
cent? leads in the foreign languages

tion in sciences and is followed at

small colleges for men seem to be
giving most attention to foreign Ian
guages, the large universities most

leges most to the group containing
English, economics and Bible.
"In general the eight years show a
decided decrease in the study of the
foreign languages which is accompa-
MED by a slight general increase in the
study of the sciences and consider
able increase in the work of English,
history and the economics group.
Greek, Latin, mathematics and astron-
omy steadily decline.
"The influences which caused the
freat reduction in the study of Ger
man are already much lessened and
it is probable that they will practi-
cally disappear as the Great War re-
cedes into history. Mathematics is so
essential to the study Of sciences gen
orally that it cannot fall much further
from its old-timc popularity unless
either the work in science is dimin-
ished or the effectiveness of that work
become much impaired"
