TOO many colleges in this country.
Four years ago the number vas given
by the national commissioner of edu-

is no state or territory so small or

as twenty. Kansas has more insti-

is SO great throughout the country

Joseph Conrad, Sea
Tale Writer. Dies,

Bourne, England. Aug. 3-Bq ca.
P.)-Joseph Conrad. eminent author
Of sea tales, died at his home here
today. He was 81 years old.
Joseph Conrad, one of the foremost
English novelists and especially not
ed for his sea tales, was born Dec
ember 6, 1857, of Polish parentage.
His early life as a sailor and as a
sea captain formed the background
for his enthralling stories of the
South Seas.
Conrad visited America for the first
time last year IN response to repeat
ed invitations of his publishers. He
was not we'll at the time and was
compelled by his illness to curtail his
stay to about a month.
He often said there had been three
periods in his life. The first was
when a boy of seventeen he left Po-
land and went to sea. The second
was his return to shore after twenty
wears Of sea life. The third he des-
cribed as his marriage and his plan
ia return to the sea, which was aban-
doned.
Among Conrad's best known books
were the The Niger of the Mar
c,cus.e Lord Jim" victory The
Mirror OF the Sea-" and The Rover"

The scene of the examination or
recount Of the ballots cast in the last

. the supreme judicial court bearing on
the matter that it is madatory that
voting booths be used and if they
are not used the vote of the precinct
shall be eliminated. Town officials
of st. Agatha testified before the
governor and council Saturday that
no voting booths were used on the
last primary day and as far as they
knew at any time.
All the ballots cast in the primary
election, with the exception of Ward

Berlin, Aug. 3.-CBy A. P)--Com'
munists interrupted two minutes ST
lence for soldiers who fell in the
World War during a national service
held today in front of the Reichstag
building.
An enormous crowd assembled to
participate in the service, the first of
it's kind ever held in Germany. The
ceremonies began soon after IL O'Clock,
when President Ebert and other Off
Gals paid tribute to Germany's dead
The two minutes of silence began ex-
actly at Il o'clock. AS the music ceas-
ed before the MONDAY hour and the
crowd had barred heads, Communists
sprinklcd among the spectators, who
covered several acres, attempted to
break up the ceremonies with yells,
cat-calls, whistling and'the singing of
the "Internationale.
The first outbreak occurred at the
base of the great statue of Bismarck,
where several handful of Red pamph-
let's were tossed into the air and scat
tered on the breeze. This apparently
was a signal for the Communist dem
onstration to begin. Communist
groups began singing the Information
ale" but the singing soon was drowned
cut by jeers from the crowd and by po-
licemen armed with rifles and CLUBS.
The policemen used only their clubs.
They cracked n few heads with these
and hustled the Communists out or
reach of enraged patriotic men and
women who endeavored to get hand
on those individuals who started the
demonstration.
After the Communists had broken
the program of silence. which was OBJ
served throughout the republic, they
Joined in a demonstration with scat
tered Social Democrats who refused 10
participate officially in observance OF
the day of remembrance because OF ma
val and military representation at the
ceremony. Several student bodies
who disagree with President Ebert po-
litically also sang fraternity songs
during the ceremonies, but the ponce
conferred their attentions upon the
Communists and arrested large num-
Der of them, charging them with dis
turbing the peace.

Ebert in the course of his speech. that

Smith Joins Nelson

Lieutenant Erik Nelson, who sailed
for several hours through the pea
Soup" fog and arrived here Saturday.
from Kirkwall. was Joined today by
the commander of the expedition,
Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith who.
with Lieutenant Leigh Wade. jumped
off from Kirkwall early this morning
on their second attempt to make the
voyage, having on Saturday morning
been forced to return to Houton Bay
owing TO the intensity of the fog.
Wade again today had hard luck.
He was forced down by engine
trouble about midway between the
Scottish coast and his objective, but
his plane was taken in tow by one
of the trawlers patrolling the coast,
and 1t is expected that when repairs
are effected he again will take the
air and come on to Hoefn Hornaf-
jord.
Smith in his journey above the
North Atlantic today had a hard
fight during the latter part Of it,
meeting with both rain squalls and
heavy banks of fog. He left Kirk
wal at 9.17 o'clock this morning and
despite the weather conditions drop
ped safely into the little bay here at
1877 o'clock this afternoon.
When Wade was forced to come
down upon the water, the torpedo
boat destroyer Billingsley went to his
aid, and later the trawler came up
and threw him a tow line. The en-
CINE Of the plane is said to be only
slightly damaged.
The first news of Wade's trouble
came in a report from the island of
Suder9, the southernmost of the Fa-
roe group. 1t was contained in a
message dropped by Smith as he
passed over the island. The message
requested that a despatch be sent to
England that Wade had been forced
down 155 miles off Birsay, in the Ork-
ney Islands. Wireless dispatches
were Immediately Sent to the patrol
feet to go to the rescue.
