Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university here declined 10 comment until he had seen some cvdence." Princeton and Dartmouth were two others named specifically
 1 The charges were made yesterday by Adolph Lewisohn, banker, and Gustavus A. Rogers, lawyer, at q luncheon at the Bankers club to raise $1,000,000, one-ffth of the fund required for the Yeshiya of America, the Jewish college.
 Exclusion Charges 1 Mir. LcWisohn, said his own grand. sons had been excluded from one of the biggest universities. Tt is not q matter Of absolute exclusion so much as restriction and discrimination" Mir. Rogers explain- cd after the luncheon. "The univer. sites are not opposed, exactly, to having Jews in their student body, but they want only the Jew who is up 10 their social standard. They do not want the pious Jew. "The sl hools fear Christian rebellion by students who do not care to associate with Jews, and they fear a predominance of Jews in their student bodies.
 "I know Of one eastern university which has 2.4O0 applicants for a quota of 65O for greater New York, and it could fill this quota entirely with Jews, yet very few get into it."
 Mir Rogers believes that eventu- ally Jews. Catholics and Protestants will have their own universities.
 Will Bar None
 "Yeshiva, however will have no bars" he said. "The Catholic for example. who wishes to take course in Jewish literature will be welcomo."
 MT. Lcwlsohn, in his speech, said an advantage Of yeshiva for the Jews would be that they could keep their own Sabbath and holidays.
 Excavation for the buildings has started at Amsterdam avenue and 11Sth street.

Morgan loan in vain intervention on
behalf of the franc and lacking funds
to continue that operation--the franc
having fallen to the lowest ever on
Paris exchange: the cost of living
having risen 10 per cent in two
months-Peret despairing of further
usefulness under the conditions, re-
signed. BRAND then went before the
chamber and asked that, in view of
Peret's resignation, the scheduled de-
bate on the exchange situation be
postponed 48 hours. The request was
granted, 900 to 1875. But it was not
satisfactory vote. Most of the radical
Socialists voted contra or abstained
and again the Left government had
been saved by Right and Center
votes. 1t was preposteOus that such
q situation should continue, where
fore the government resigned.
The President, after the proper con-
situations, invited BRAND to form an
other governmental possible, a "na
tional union" government, to include
leading representatives of all the
principal groups except the Mon
archists and the Communists. BRAND
accepted the invitation, announcing
that, should he succeed he would ask
the Chamber to grant full powers to
the new government for dealing <with
the financial situation ''for whatever
period might be necessary for the re-
covery of the franc" He would also
ask for immediate ratification of the
Berenger debt agreement. But the
Socialists and a majority of the radical
Socialists bucked at the national
union idea, which project was aban-
doned. BRAND now proposed a cab

French labeD, in which the pivotal
men" should be Herriot and Poin-

BRAND, and Poincare, with his tre-

Poincare signified acceptance of the
finance job on condition that he should
have full power to effect his financial
program by decree, but after a long
agony of indecision he declined the
portfolio. BRAND then quit (Friday)

Cairo Held LATEST
Capital in World

Cairo is possibly the most romantic
probably the most evil and certainly
the LATEST great capital in the world.
For evidence one need only go to the
list of holidays. This list is extraor
binary. In the first place. Cairo of
ficially recognizes no fewer than three
calendars-Moslen, Christian and
Orthodox. In other words. the Mos
lens have a day off on Friday, the
Christians on Sunday. the Orthodox
on Saturday. 1t is absolutely impos
sible to get any work done here from
Thursday till Tuesday.
But that is not all. Owing to this
complexity in calendars, there are two
Christmases, two casters. two As
cension days. three New Year days,
besides an ineXtricable welter of Mos
lem religious holidays. In addition.
the Moslems have a number of special
feast occasions One is called the
Ramadan and lasts a whole month

opinion that, should Herriot present

So long as we are in danger of
having statesmen of various policies
in control of our Nation and until we
train statesmen for the profession Sf
craftsmanship as thoroughly as we
train Navy and Army officers for the
profession of arms. it will be useless
to attempt to secure world peace.
The papers of Col. House show that
our national leaders then held notions
about war in general and about the
World War in particular that were
considerably vague. They thought
that the war had been brought about
by the militarism of Germany and by
the attempt of Germany to secure the
dominance of the world by militaristic
methods! That was not the case at
all. The Kaiser had been taught the
fuulity of any purely militaristic
policy by Admiral Mahan, 20 years
before.

that nations have not gone to war for
the sake OF going 10 war but for the
sake of securing something that they

would then see that the problem OF
securing peace is largely the problem
