CONDENSED REVIEW . .
OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
(By The Associated Press.)
As the day for the Germans to give
answer to the peace demands of' the
allied and associated governments ap
proaches 'and the German plenipoten
tiaries have announced that they will
ask no further extension of time be
yond Ihursday, the limit set by the
allies there apparently has been no
change in the sentiment of German
government circles that the tr.eat
should not be signed.
"Should I, under pressure from if:
own misled countrymen, sign this si'i
tence of death?" an utterance attrib
uted to Count Von Brockdorff-Rant-
zau. head of the German peace dele
gallon, in reply to a question as to
wnctner the demanas or the independ
ent socialists that the compact shouid
be duly sealed, sums up generally the
stale of mind supposed to exist in the
higher walks of German political life.
ivieanwniie amea commissions are
preparing shortly to hand to Austria
and Bulgaria the treaties that are to
be drawn up for them. The Austrians,
who have been for some time at St.
Germain, are chafing under the delay
in being called before the peace con
gress. The delay is declared to be
mainly due to the settlement of con
ditions regarding reparations.
Dr. Rcnner, head of the Austrian
delegation, has appealed to Premier
CIcmonceau. president of the peace
conference urging th hastening of the
presentation of the peace treaty, de
daring that the delay is creating ;
"regrettable strain" on Austria finan
cially.
The belief is expressed in Paris that
the new states taken away from Aus
tria-Hungary will not be compelled by
the allied and associated powers to
make payments on. account, of repa
rations bv the Dual Monarhy or the
public property taken over by them
The council of four is now engaged in
thoroughly going into the situation of
these new states.
Anti-Bolshevik factions in Russia
headed by Admiral Kolchak and Gen
era! Denikine are to receive condi
tional recognition by the council of
four, according to a report in circula
tion in Paris. The condition is said to
be that the governments of these
leaders are to convoke and accept the
verdict of a genuine - constituent as
sembly, which is to determine the fu
ture form of government for Russia.
Such action by the council of four
would enable the allies to assist in
the struggle against soviet rule in
Russia by furnishing Kolchak and
Denikine with arms, munitions, money
and food on a larger scale than pre
viously. No troops would be furnished
the anti-Bolshevik- leaders, according
to the report.

"Up to this time," said the board's
announcement, "Harvard's work in
the department of ee"r,ation has been
carried on by a diviaTon of education
belonging . to the faculty of arts and
sciences. An urgent demand has
arisen for more adequate technical fa

teachers aud investigators, but also of
school officials such as superintend
ents, principals and supervisors.
"With an endowment of $2,000,000
the new school will become the most
abundantly endowed institution of its
kind in this country and will rank
with Harvard's" schools of law, medi

the water rose to the boiling point.
"We of course realized that until the
pipe was cleared we could not rise
much higher without using a lot of
motor power. When we were about

the circulation system was still giving
us trouble and we realized that we
could not go on using up our motor
