$250.0O0 campaign finds less than
100000 to be raised in the remain
ing five days. The total contributions
announced up to today noon amount
ed to s154.1O6.
The increase of $4,000 over Tues
days figures was more than the work
ers had expected, as many of them
were giving their time to preparation
for the big parade and mass meeting
at the auditorium.
With the enthusiasm of Washburn
day back of them, the workers expect
a much greater contribution to an
nounce tomorrow.
Capt George A. Guilds team was
high for the day with s2,25O. Capt.
L. NJ. Jones was second with $1.675.
Capt. George w. Hargreaves, whose
team reported $S06 for the day, said
it had worked largely among colored
people, and that not single colored
person approached had refused TO
contribute.
More on 100 Per Cent List.
The announcement OF the 100 per
cent list of the day raised great en-
thusiasm. The Chamber of Commerce

Men interested in education hold

value of higher educational institu-

the state-there has never been any

whom France is now associated. Poin-
cares patriotism is undisputed; but
he is inclined to be intractable. Be
cause ne cannot secure all that he
asks he is likely to disdain that which
it is possible to obtain. Forbearance
and tolerance are not his dominating
characteristics, and it is feared by
some that he will bring into the coun~
ellis of the great powers spirit of
suspicion and distrust.
BRAND favored the admission of
representatives of Russia and Ger
many to the approaching economic
conference. He was brought to this
opinion during his attendance at the
disarmament conference, believing it
to be the surest way to bring about
an international understanding among
all peoples. Poincare is reported to
be opposed to such policy. He would
keep them longer on probation before
admitting them to the councils of the
great powers. 1t is possible, how
ever, that intimate association with
the representatives of the other great
nations may cause him to modify his
views. So far he has been inside
France looking out. 1t is possible that
when he attends a conference held
in another country the view from the
outside may make him see interna-
tional questions in a different light.
NJ. Sarraut, acting head of the
French delegation at the dsarma-
ment conference, has ceased automati-
cally to be a member of the French
government. He was a member of
the BRAND cabinet. But advices from
Paris are to the effect that he will be
continued by the new government as
the leader Of the French delegation.
We trust that this report will be con-
firmed;. for it would be unfortunate
to have a change of delegations just
as the sessions of the conference are
drawing to a close. The position of
France in relation to the other great
nations has not been improved by
the resignation of the BRAND cabinet.
But we trust it will prove to be only
an incident of minor Importance and
that the general policy of the BRAND
government will OF be reversed.
