AUSTRIA LOSES
STUDENTS

VIENNA. Feb. 21.-There are
now about $4,000 students in the
universities Of Austria. according to
recent calculations. which is slightly

military universities where the sons
OF the aristocracy received a good
academic education while prepar.

There were more than 5000 mill

Literally millions Of acres Of

along the great rivers which flow

Opposition to the bill was based
chiefly on the contention that

California was given too much

also were attacked on the ground
that they made the bill revenue
