College Presidents Meet
With War Heads to Talk
Of Possibilities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 Military
education for college students, par
ticularly the reserve officer training
corps systems provided by the new na
tional defense act, was discussed by
nearly a score of university and col
lege presidents meeting here today
wit h War -Department officials. The
presidents obtained explanations on
which they will base recommendations
of systems of training for. their re
spective institutions.
"Representatives of most land grant
rolleges, where military drill already
is well developed, predicted that their
schools would institute the four year
course provided by the army act to
train junior officers for the regular
army reserves. This plan would re
quire the War Department to provide
equipment and pay for advanced sti
dents. Land grant college presidents
also were enthusiastic over a proposed
course for reserve army engineers.
Presidents of some institutions
which now have no arrangements for
military training favored inauguration
)f tactics, study and drill without the
reserve officers system and others de
clared their schools could best devel
op the summer training camp plans. A
few said only theoritical study of mil
itary anairs could be estal Ushed at
first.
war Department officials received
suggestions for co-operating with col
leges in establishing varying grades
of training. The meeting was called
by Secretary of War Baker.

Oak Ridge Has Big
Number of Students
Oak Ridge institute is crowded With
students. Fifteen entered during the
past week and others are to come.
The enrollment is already larger than
it was last fall, and there is talk of a
new dormitory for.next year to accom
modate the increasing attendance. Al
most every county in the state is rep
resented. The school has a large and
loyal body of alumni, and has in daily
attendance the sons and grandsons of
former students. Some of the boys
here are the fourth members of the
same family to attend the session of
the school successively.
Mr. J. E. Latham, of Greensboro, re
cently made a valuable contribution
to the school library, and it is propos
ed by the alumni of the school to
place here a library of considerable
magnitude.

LONG- BRANCH, Oct. 17. Presi
dent Wilson announced today that his
efforts to bring about an agreement
among belligerent nations to allow
relief supplies to be sent to Poland
had failed. '
The President gave out a statement
saying he had received replies from
the rulers of Great Britain, France,
Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary
to a letter he sent in July suggesting
that those nations combine to assist
in Polish relief work. The statement
follows:
"I have now received replies from
the king of England, the president of
France, the emperor of Russia, the
emperoc of Germany and the emperor
of Austria to my letter Of July 20,
1916, in which I tendered the offices
of this government in negotiations
looking to a fresh consideration of
the nossibilities and methods of re
lieving Poland. It appears, I greatly
regret to say, that there are still im
nnrtant differences between the al
lied powers and the central powers as
to the terms under which relief sup
plies may be sent to Poland. I am dis
appointed that I have not yet been
successful in inducing the powers to
conclude a definite settlement."

ROME. Oct. 17 The Pope has made
an appeal to the "children of happy
and prosperous America to aid the
million and half unhappy children of
Belgium." The request of the Pope
is the result of a visit paid him by
George Baker, of New York, who came
to the Vatican at the instance of Her
bert Hoover, chairman of the Ameri
can commission for relief of Belmium.
Mr. Bakre told the pope that the
Belgian children were reduced below
normal weight and were suffering
bodily ills through under nourish
ment. He said that tuberculosis was
increasing.
