Alumni of Drake
Ask Removal Of
President Holmes
Committee Appointed to In
vestigate Alleged Ad.
ministrative Diff.
ficulties.

Des Moines, June 6.-(Special
Telegram )-Agitation for the re-
moval of DR.. Arthur Holmes as
president OF Drake university is ex-
pected to come to a conclusion to-
night when the board of trustees
meets to hear report from a COM
mittee appointed to investigate al
legged university administrative dif-
| ficultes.
Reports are that a strong move
is on foot for the removal of the
university head 1t was. stated on
good authority that the liberal arts
college, almost without exception. is
at outs with DR.. Holmes, and that
an alumni petition has been presented
to the trustees asking that they de-
clare the presidency vacant.
Prominent alumnae, it was stated,
have served notice on university Of
ficials that they will refuse to assist
in the raising of finances for the
school unless DR.. Holmes is relieved.
They allege the president has failed
to cooperate with the women, and
has been antagonistic toward ath-
letics for goods at Drake. The or
ganization had been asked to raise
|$l5OO00.
On the other hand, DR.. Holmes
has many champions in the school
and on the board of trustees. It was
reliably reported that they will de-
mand the resignation of Dean F. O.
Norton of the liberal arts college in
case opponents of DR.. Holmes insist
upon retiring the latter from office.
Holmes friends say that the presi-
dent refused to be dictated to by the
faculty and thus incurred its en-
nifty.
Rumors are that move may be
made to abolish the office of presi-
dent of the university and to create
again the office of chancellor with a
local man in that position.

Hot Days Bring
Need for Milk,
Ice for Babies
Each Year The Bee Free Milk
and Ice Fund Saves Lives
of Hundreds of
Children.

hot days are upon us.
And babies are beginning to suf-
fer for want of cooling sweet milk
Each year The Bee, through its
Free Milk and Ice fund, stages a
fight against the torrid heat which
stiles kiddies i'll the poorer homes.
A Worthwhile Fight.
1t is worthwhile fight, for it un-
questionably saves the lives of hun
dreds of kiddies, and preserves the
health OF hundreds more.
Many children who have been re-
ceiving milk in the schools will be
without it during the hot, oppressive
months to follow, without the aid of
The Bees fund.
There are similar agencies in other
cities, but no other one in Omaha.
Every penny contributed to the Free
Milk and Ice fund purchases milk and
ice for the tots whose parched throats
cry for it. There are no commits
sions or overhead expenses to drain
the fund.
Rewards Are MANIFOLD.
Readers of The Bee are asked to
contribute to the fund as they feel
able. 1t is not the largeness of the
contributions, but rather their num-
Der, that counts.
The rewards to those who contrib
ute are manifold: A happy knowl-
edge that one has done good deed;
that intense suffering has been check
ed, and the mute thanks Of dis
traught mothers given cheer and
hope by the returning health Of their
little ones.
There already is need of money to
purchase sweet milk and the ice to
keep it sweet. As in the past The
Bee opens the Free Milk and Ice
fund by contributing $5. Contribu-
tons from readers will be acknowl-
edged each day in The Bee

BUREAU OF THE CENSUS
WASHINGTON

washington. Feb. 21.-The De.
.nartn,ent of Commerce, through the
Bureau of the Census, has issued a
statement showing deaths and death
rates by age groups from dl11erent
causes in 1910 and In 1920. In every
age group the death rate was lower
in 1920 than in 1910, the most pro-
nounced change appearing in the rate
for infants under l year Of age
which declined from 1904 per 1OO,-
600 in 1910 to $500 per 100000 in
1920, decline Of about 70 per cent.
The death rate for old people above
rs wears Of age shows a decrease OF
about 6 per cent, being 1890 per
100000 in 1920 as against 1850 per
100000 in 1910. In 1910 the death
rate for infants was almost as nigh
las i was for old people above Is
Years of age, but in 1920 the infan-
lilo death rate was only about three
fourths as great as the death rate IN
old age. Particularly noteworthy Is
the decrease from 1881 to 2,2oo per

GOVERNMENT OPERATION

) The recent testimony OF VIII
lian14 Gibbs McAdoo, before the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce, is highly interesting
andiiistructive. INTERESTINGLY Of
Mr.. McAdoo, so far as we have
seen, is uncontroverted, and, we
believe, incontrovertible. 1t Will
be, remembered that! in 1917 the
inefhciency OF the American rail
roads had wrought llavoc in the
plans of the government, in so lar
as they related to its European
campaign and the rendition OF aid
to; our allies. In February, 1918,
the condition Of the, latter was 50
serious as to alarm! the British,
French and Italian. governments
and arouse the gravest doubts as
to the issue of the war. Repeated
messages to the president led hiin
to lay the situation before Mr.. Nc
Adoo in no uncertain terms. !. The
bread cereals shipped abroad il!
December, 1917, were 100000
tons below the amount fixed blythe
Paris conference; and in January,
1918, there was deficit Of more
than 100000 tons. This shortage
of 100000 tons was caused by the
railroad congestion and the lack OF
cars and coal. The rations Of tic:
French army had been reduced
once, and Of the Italian army,
twice. Starvation stared the civil
population in the face. and the fur

tration to Mr.. McAdoo. and the
result was that under his efficient
management the situation was
cleared UP, and supplies began to
move forward i'll adequate ship
nents. The allied armies, as we'll
as our own, were given renewed
vigor, and the outlook immensely
improved for victorious ternl;-
nation of the war.
When the roads were taken
over by the government, the rec
ords of the Interstate Commerce
Commission showed All accunlula-
ton of 145,OO0 cars OF freight
in excess of normal, in the terri
tory east OF Chicago and st. Louis
and north Of the Ohio and Poto-
mac rivers. The transportation
system had utterly broken down,

danger of starvation, our own war
program halnpered and hindered.
and the people suffering from
lack OF the supplies OF daily exist

the situation.

controvertible. On January Il.
