Germany has replied to the formal
note from the allies stating that Co
logne would not be evacuated Janu-
airy 10 as provided in the Versailles
Treaty because Germany has not
abided by the disarmament provision
of the treaty. Germany charges in
her reply that the allies sought re-
prisal in their refusal to evacuate
Cologne. The allies probably will
not reply to the German note until
an investigation, now under way, to
determine what Germany has done in
the way of disarmament, is com
pleted.

History.

The Democrats in the Senate have
been amusing the country at large re-
Gently by squabbles among them
selves about who was responsible for
losing the last election. Senator
Dial, who made an impassioned
speech in the Senate Saturday attack
ing some of his Democratic brethren,
withdrew his entire speech from the
Record Wednesday last when his col
leagues requested him to. The Incl
dent developed when Senator Dial
asked permission to correct certain
portions of his speech, and Senator
Robinson, Democratic leader, pre-
vailed upon him to blot out the whole
thing.
The first meeting of the newly
elected German Reichstag tthe Ger
man parliament) passed off quietly
last Monday, in marked contrast to
the hubbub and uproar which
marked the opening of the last
Reichstag. The strength of the
parties shows the Socialists with 121
members, the German Nationalists
with Ill, and the remaining 261
members divided between the Ger
man Peoples party, the Communists,
the Democrats, the Economic Union,
| the Bavarian Peoples party and the
National Socialists.
But the smoothness with which the
German Parliament got under way is
not reflected in the troubles Chan
cellor Marx is having trying to form
| a cabinet. After the elections a
month ago, at which no party re-
ceived a majority, President Ebert
requested the chancellor to form a
coalition cabinet-composed of repre-
sentatives of all parties. He has
been trying, but failed. He then en-
deavored to form a non-partisan cabi-
net but also failed, and finally
he has notified the President that all
resources have been exhausted and
he is unable to form a cabinet.

Educational.

Considerable discussion was aroused
last week by advertisements in New
York newspapers offering scholar
ships to athletes. The advertisements
were traced to the headmaster of the
Masse School for Boys at Shippan
Point, Conn, who was widely criti-
cized, but who replied that schools
all over the country virtually do the
same thing by allowing athletes to
buy their way through school on
the strength of their prowess in
athletics.
The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege has added a final touch to it's
records of students by placing, along
with the ratings of the different stu
dents, their photographs. Every stu
dent is required to file his photograph
with the faculty when he enters col
lege. After the records of the stu
dent through his four years of college
have been compiled and filed. his pic
ture is added, which results in the
records ceasing ITO be a page, and
becomes the student himself"
While collegiate enrolment in the
last 20 years has increased from four
to six and one-half times as fast as
the population, the many students
who fail to make required marks con-
stitute an appalling waste of money.
Parents should be made to under
stand that children who are untitled
to receive a college education may do
well in life without it, and thus save
money uselessly expended trying to
educate them. No college or uni
versity course has been found which
will predict professional schools sue
cess or failure as well as a two-hour
intelligence test.
These were some of the statements
made before a meeting of the Amer
lean Association Of Colleges in Chi
cago last Wsek.

the dirigible Los Angeles, which will
be turned over to scientists who hope
to obtain good photographs of the
eclipse. The dirigible will rise to
height of about 5000 or 10000 feet
to take the photographs, and, as the
eclipse will be total for only two
minutes in one spot, the photog-
raphers must do their work quickly.

Absolute safety can only be obtained, 1t

The new fireplace in the club
rooms downstairs has been complet-
ed and has become the subject OF
much favorable comment. 1t is made
of tapestry brick and has an Amer

their comfortable rooms. The work
| was done by Past Commander Will
liam Maloney and another member
of the Legion Thomas Kelley.
It has been unanimously voted to
allow the Gardiner Board of Trade
