FOREIGNERS ABANDON

BERLIN, Dec 19.-(By Asso-

are deserving German universities
because Of the high cost of living in
this country. Outsiders, must pay
more than twice as much for tuition
fees as Germans, but the unusual
advance in living costs has been the
chief factor in reducing the number
of non-Germans in all the UNIVERSE

Every thirtieth male German be-
tween the ages of 10 and % is a

number of students in attendance
at practically all universities is in
creasing in spite of the economic
distress.
