scribe an interesting phase of Ameri-
can life in his lecture on the growth
ticles taken from mailsacks-rubber,
jewelry, chemicals, small parts of
machinery, and propaganda of all
sorts.
The censor told the correspondent *
that since this rigorous investigation
of mail had been commenced it had
been found that not 1 per cent of the
outgoing mail from Germany was legi-
timate but that it was employed to
spread propaganda or to maintain a
semblance of German trade with the
rest of the world.

Sd George Says Teutons Will Feel
Blow; Confident of Outcome
London, Jan. 24.-In an interview
given here today David Lloyd George,
minister of munitions, declared that
England is preparing to deliver a blow
that must be felt by Germany.
He balled attention to the organiza-
tion of one of- the world's greatest
armies by England in addition to her al-
ready overpowering fleet. England, he
said, has undergone an industrial re-
organization as well. ,
According to Lloyd George, Britain,
as a nation, has not been equipped
for war, but is now in fighting trim.
He is confident of the outcome of the
war.

SAYSER AN S NSPREPAE I I5
SE ANFl I UObITISH

An honor system that is new and
unique is to be tried by the engineers
as a result of the movement for such
a plan in that department.
As indicated last week at a meeting
of all four engineering classes, the
students are strongly in favor of a
system that does not include a writ..
ten pledge appended to each examina-
tion paper. The paragraph which .was
s, strongly objected to reads as follows:
"I pledge my word of honor that in
this exercise I have not received dis-
honest assistance of any kind."
(Signature). ,
"Art. 1, Sec. 3. Any student who
fails to place the pledge on his paper
shall be notified. If he then refuses'
to make the pledge, he shall be report-
ed by the examiner to the honor com-
mittee for investigation. If he still
refuses to sign, his refusal shall bet
taken as direct evidence of dishonesty
and he will be punished as hereinafterr
described."f
Not only the students but the facul-
ty as well are interested in the dis-
cussion as evidenced by the following
remarks made by Dean Mortimer E.,
Conley when interviewed today:
"I believe that no honor systemI
will work that does not spring from
the student body, is not upheld and1
enforced by them. I am sure that the
proper honor system will work here
and I assure you of the hearty co-op-4
eration of faculty."
The honor committee is to meet to-t
night at 7:00 o'clock in the engineer-
iig society rooms to discuss the final,
plans, which will appear in tomorrow's
Daily.
HAROLD POUNDU DI0ES OF
FEVER IN HONG KONG
Alumnus and Former Botany Assist.
ant Worked in Sumatra With
Professor Hus
News of the death in Hong Kong,
China, of Harold Pound, alumnus and
assistant in botany, was received here
yesterday afternoon. Tropical fever {
was the cause of death. For the past
two years Mr. Pound was director of
the laboratories of the United States
Rubber company at Kiseran, Asalran,
Sumatra, where Prof. Henri T. Hus of
the botany department, who is away
on leave of absence, is now working.
It was through Mr. Pound that Prof.
Hus received the offer from the rub-I
ber company to work in their labora-
tory.


London, Jan. 24.-Evidence of the
extent to which Germany was employ-
ing the medium of first class register-
ed mail for the export and import of
every kind of merchandise was shown
to the New York Sun correspondent
today by the postal censor.
Two complete floors of a big building
of the King's Way were taken up

the great western plains. The cow-
boy, the audience learned, is not the
wild, lawless person we see in the
motion pictures, but a man whose life
is often more perfect than those near-
er to so-called civilization.
Professor Lomax illustrated his re-
marks by singing and reciting a great
number of ballads from his collection,
the audience joining him in some of
the more familiar tunes.
Court Holds Income Tax Law Valid
Washington, Jan. 24.-The income

PROF, DAIS ADRSSES.
FRESH LIT SSEMBLY
Appeals to Students to Systematize
Their Tasks and Concentrate
While Working
In his address to the fresh lit class
in University hall yesterday after-
noon, Prof. C. O. Davis emphasized
certain points of efficiency for his hear-
ers to follow, if they would get the
most from their college life.
"First," he said, "the student must
routinize his work. In that way it can
be handled with the least amount of
energy. A schedule of hours posted
up, to account for most of his waking
moments, will help the student won-
derfully, if he follows it strictly."
Continuing, Prof. Davis said that he
had always considered these mottoes
good ones, "Crowd your work, or your
work will crowd you," and "Work
while you work and play while you
play." "A half hour's good concentra-
tion is worth more than four which
are spent in dawdling over the same
amount of work. The best aid to con-
centration is good physical condition.
A man simply can't work at his best
when his brain is cloudy and muddy."
Owing to the neglect of the commit-
tee in charge of arrangements to have
a piano placed on the stage, the All-
Fresh Glee club failed to render sev-
eral selections which they had pre-
pared for the assembly.
At the close of the address, a busi-
ness meeting was held, in which it was
decided to hold a dance directly after
the examinations at which the fresh-
men from all departments were to be
admitted, upon payment of a small
admission fee. A call was issued for
basketball tryouts.
iMachines Collide on Liberty Street
The machine of Dr. Rominger of 423
E. Washington, was slightly damaged
early yesterday evening by a collision
with another car. The front axle of
the doctor's car was bent.

MEET AT, UNION 3
TO ALLOT BOOTHS'
Representatives of Parties Draw for1
Places Tomorrow; Decorations t
Must Be Simple
GROUPS PROVIDE FURNISHINGS
Holders of J-Hop tickets who had
not as yet arranged for booth sharers,
met at the Union last night and madej
up the balance of their parties of
twelve.
Since there may be some who did
not attend the meeting last night, who
have not as yet joined a booth party,
these men should attend the meeting
to be held Wednesday night at 8:00
o'clock at the Union, at which time
also all representatives of those groups
which have already formed will draw
for choice of booths. The men who
do not join some booth party by
Wednesday night will be left without
booth accommodations on the night1
of the Hop.
The representatives of groups al-
ready formed who come to the meeting
to draw for booths on Wednesday
night, are asked to bring the green
booth tickets, properly signed, of each
member of the party which they rep-
resent. There will be no choice of
booths as to size, as they will be uni-
form in this respect, and location will
be the only matter to be decided.
Each party will take care of the
furnishings of its particular booth. No
decorations other than those which are
representative of the university will
be permitted. The chief things to
be furnished for each booth are punch
bowls, punch glasses, a plate for
wafers and cakes, a stand for the
punch bowl, chairs for the party and
other furniture which may be desired.
Arrangements should be made by each
party to have its booth completely
furnished by 2:00 o'clock sharp on
the day of the Hop, and the next day
everything should be taken out.
WIHAT'S GOING O

MILITARY COMM i 'I TEE
WANTS STUDENT OFFICERS
Students who have Lad previ-
ous experience in military train.
ing will have an opportunity to
report the extent of their knowl-
edge at the Union at 7:00 o'clock
this evening before the Senate
Committee on Military Train-
ing.
If training should be intro.
duced at the University, a diffi-
culty would arise during the
first year in that no quota of
cadet officers would become an-
tomatically available, and it is
to provide for this difficulty that
the entire committee will be
present to consider the experi-
ence of undergraduates, wheth-
er in university, military school,
summer camp, national guard
or other service.

IUp Without Struggle; German Air
Lilan Flies Above Dover
New York, Jan. 24.-The German
fleet, with the heaviest new battleships
armed with 17.8 inch guns, far out-
ranging the guns of the British, and
escorted by a fleet of Fokker aero-
planes and Zeppelins, armed with new
pneumatic guns capable of firing ar-
mor-piercing projectiles, will soon ap-
pear in the North sea to give battle
to the British, according to Thomas R.
MacMechean, aeronautical engineer,
and president of the Aeronautical So-
ciety of America.-
Mr. MacMechean said today that the
basis of his prediction is from sources
of authoritative information in Ger-
many. The time of the German naval
dash from the Kiel canal will be fixed
mainly by the results of the testing
of the new engines of destruction from
the air.
The weapon will be tried out, the
engineer confidently asserted, within
two or three weeks in a monster raid
by Zeppelins on London.
This statement in view of the re-
sumption of the air raids on London
by German aeroplanes and Zeppelins
assumes somewhat the nature of a
prophecy as to the next step that the
Teutonic allies may take. The German
fleet as a whole has been practically
useless during most of the war, due to
its being bottled up in the Kiel canal
by the ever-present threat of the more
powerful British fleet.

London, Jan. 24.-Scutari, the last

An official statement given out in
Vienna today tells of the capture of
the important Albanian city.
Serbian troops that haa garrisonedl
the city for the Montenegrins, retired
without offering resistance.
German Ae roplane Seen Above Dover
London, Jan. 24.-A German aero-
plane passed over Dover at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. A British official an-
nouncement issued tonight says it was
engaged by all the anti-aircraft guns
and pursued by two British machines.

Following the German raid of
day this new attack by an air in
sends a thrill of alarm throug
England. The officials have no
