URGES INTERVENTION
IN HUNGARY By ALLIES
DOCTOR BAUER LEAVES VIENNA
TO MEET RENNER AT
FELDKIRCH
(By Associated Press)
Vienna, June 5.-Allied intervention
in Hungary was urged by Count Ju-
lius Andrassy, former Austro-Hun-
.garian foreign minister in a statement
today. The count in company with
other exiled Hungarians is endeavor-
ing to put' down the communist gov-
ernrent.
} Allied Help Only Hope ,
"The only thing left for us is allied:
help," the count said. "It is useless
to treat .with the communists. Every
day delayed means greater 'ruin for
us, and a loss for the whole world.
It will be 50 years before we can'
undo the waste caused by the com-
munists. Every bank is bankrupt,
every rich man impoverished, and
every industry ruined."
Faculty opinion is unanimous that
the summer session of 1919 will be
the most successful in every way com-
pared with those of former years. With
indications pointing toward an unprec-
edented attendance1 plans are com-
plete for the opening of the session
with registration on June 27. In this
year's session, the courses are more
varied, the faculty enlarged, and ac-
commodations bettered in many ways.
Record Enrollment Expected
President Harry B. Hutchins says
of this year's summer term "Indica-
tions are that the enrollment at the
coming summer session will be a rec-
ord breaking one. The opportunities of-
fered will be such as tp attract large
numbers, Many courses will be in the
charge of heads of departments and
several men of distinction from other
universities will be on the summer
faculty. For earnest work the sum-
mer term offers advantages that in
some respects are superior to those
of the regular session. The sections
are smaller and opportunities for in-
dividdal instruction are all that could
be desired."
Chance to Trim Ragged Record
Dean John R. Effinger views the
coming opportunity for summer work!
as a valuable means toward remedy-
ing low marks caused by war irregu-
larities. "As a means of clearing up
a ragged record ;caused by war ab-
sences or the unsettled University
conditions of the S. A. T. C., the
value of this year's summer session
is without question," he said. "Corre-
spondencenpromises an unusually
large attendance."
That the war has stimulated an un-
usual interest in education and con-
sequent taking advantage of all op-
portunities to secur it, is the opinion
of Dean E. H. Kraus. "The 26th sum-
mer session bids fair to be - the larg-
est in the history of the University,"
he said. "Never before has such in-
terest been displayed in the coming
work, both by students and. outsid-
ers. The war has proved conclusive-
ly the need for trained educated work-
ers. The session expects an unprece-
dented attendance."
Many Expected in Law School
"Indications 'in the Law school point
toward an unusually large attendance
in this year's summer session," said
Dean Henry M. Bates. "The number
of students in the regular session
