Tumulty in a letter to Dr. James J. McGuire, Trenton, N. J., which was made public today. Secretary Tumulty stated that there was not a single proven case of any outrage upon nuns registered in the files of the Department of State. Con- suls and special agents have been un- able to verify unsubstantiated reports to this effect. A communication from the Very Reverend A. J. Paredes, Roman Cath- olic Vicar General of the Archibish- opric of Mexico City, was included in the secretary's letter, which statedl that while some priests had been kill- ed .and others injured, that no attack had been made upon the nuns, who are not required in Mexico to assume any garb or insignia which would mark them out as different from the other women of the country. "This comes from an authoritative source and does not seem to conform with the versions which have, from time to time, been circulated in the United States,"' writes Mr. Tumulty. Unity and harmony permeate the Carranza ranks, the secretary believes, and bases his opinion upon the fact that when requests were sent to the various Carranzista and Viillista gen-Be erals to be present at a meeting to decide what should be done to pro- i E 7 9 c a i t i "SHEFFIELD is ANSWER TO KRUPP CHALENE" Correspondent Describes Trip Through Large British Munition Plants. Chicago, Nov. 26.-The Herald pub- lished the following story this morn- ing: 'Sheffield, England, Nov. 9.-The writer recently walked ten miles through the plants of Hadfield and Vickers on a tour arranged by the min- ister of munitions. Sheffield is per- haps as much as any one place the British answer to the Krupp challenge. Sir Robert Hadfield, who conducted the party through his large shops, ex- plained that Herr Krupp von Bohlen was his guest five weeks before war was declared. Now the Hadfield plant is working day and night to counter- act the Krupp influences. Plenty of Shells. At the Hadfield plant the writer was permitted to repeat the experiment conducted on the occasion of the king's visit five weeks ago, the discharge of a 10-centimeter shell at a 4-inch plate at an angle of 50 degrees, like the side of a ship. The king's shot pierced the armor; the correspondent's did not. One of each allotment of shells is thus tested. ''here are acres and acres of shells completed and awaiting ship- ment. And new factories are in pro- cess of erection. Here at the Hadfield plant, the home of manganese steel and other note- worthy inventions, all the ingenuity and capacity are harnessed to the mu- nition work and at the Vickers es- tablishment it is the same story. Rush Work. Douglas Vickers conducted the party through the latter plant, long famois for its part in the admiralty work. Everything is done here from receiving the pig to turning out the 15- inch guns, like those of the Queen Elizabeth. In these Sheffield shops the manu- facture of munitions is not a new thing and you can find many a wise- acre to remind you that there would have been no shortage of shells if Sheffield's advice had been taken. But the complaints are over now and everybody is driving, driving, rush- ing at full energy to make up for lost time.

The Mexican leaders will cer- tainly know that in order to command the sympathy and moral support of America, Mexico must have, when her reconstruction comes, just land tenure, free schools, and itrue freedom of conscience and worship. We know of no other foundation stones upon which to build the economic and spiritual life that makes political freedom a re- ality and a blessing."

Washington lBars Fresh from Varsity Seattle, Nov. 29.-The University mof Washington last night adopted the freshman rule in intercollegiate ,ath- letics, and will in future schedule games only with such institutions as will eliminate freshmen in games with Washington.. duce a peaceful settlement of the af-_ fairs in Mexico, the former officials one and all replied that the decision of General Carranza would be theirs, while Villa's officers replied individu- ally without referring to their chief officer. "Criticism is ever ceasy," he con- tinues, "especially when the critics do not have to bear the burden of respon- sibility or suffer the consequences. In this matter, involving the life and fu- ture of Mexico, the administration has tried to have a much more extended horizon than those who, living in Mex- ico, have sometimes been actuated by self interest. Had the government lis- tened to a certain class of Americans in Mexico, this country would long since have sent its armies across the border, with what results, in times like these, no one can predict." Included in his letter, Mr. Tumulty sent communications from President Wilson and ex-Secretary of State Bryan written to Father Francis C.- Kelley, president of the Catholic Church Extension Society, Chicago, in answer to a query similar to that of Dr. Mc- Guire. President Wilson referred the mat- ter to Mr. Bryan, who gave a long ac- count of the conditions in Mexico. "This administration is of course the servant of the American people,"( concluded Mr. Bryan. "It has felt it to be its duty to urge upon the leaders of Mexico, whenever an opportunity offered, the principles and methods of action which must underlie all real Hillsdale College Women Take Offense at "Collegian's" Policy Women students at Hillsdale college are at war with the men students be- cause they are too much in the lime- light. The Collegian, the student -newspa- per at Hillsdale, was bitterly arraigned in an article written by Miss Caroline Stearns because it refused to print news concerning a series of talks to be given to the girls. In the same num- ber the Collegian printed a series of articles about East hall, one of the girl's dormitories, in which the writer poked fun at the girls. Then wrath seized the female population of Hills- dale, and they propose to get even.. What form their revenge will take is not decided, but the men are already trying to justify themselves and till then gloom prevades the ranks of Hillsdale's "fussers." GRADUATE SCHOOL RECEIVES NEW QUARTERS FOR OFFICES New quarters comprising the two rooms in the southeast corner of Uni- versity hall now used by the Latin department, are promised for the Graduate school as soon as the Latin department can move into its new home in the remodeled south wing. This work, which will be completed by the first of next semester, will add much to the efficiency of the Graduate school because of the fact that where- as now there are no facilities for pri- vate conferences in the dean's office, the new rooms will include both a gen- eral office and a private office for the holding of board meetings and private interviews. At present, the Graduate school, the Extension committee, the Committee on Student Affairs, and the Summer School board must all share the same quarters, and it has been in- convenient. This will be remedied as soon as the room for expansion is completed. L. W. LISLE WINS POPULARITY CONTEST CONDUCTED BY CIRCUS L. W.
