CHICAGO, March 1.—Fire sweeping an old women's home on the South Side last night took two lives and sent A score of women, all more than 50 years old, running into the strect in their night clothing. Mrs. Mary Coffey, 80, and Mrs. Mary Wallace, 60, were suffocated. Firemen who found them overcome on the second floor applied the inhalator. but both women were dead when the hospital was reached Herbert Diggs, a one-armed colored youth, of 19, fought his way through the smoke and carried Mrs. Catherine Swan, 75, to the street. Mrs. Sophie Beler, 64, was trapped on the third floor, where spotlights revealed her leaning out of a window. Firemen rescued her by ladder. : An overheated furnace was given by firemen as the probable cause of the | tyelve are better far than nine. laze.

KEYSERLING TELLS REASON FOR NOTE Ludwig, Author, Replies to Coun- tryman's Expression of Dislike Sent to Hostess. Br the Associated Press NEW YORK. March 1.—Count Key- serling has explained his dislike for Emil Ludwig, fellow German author, as neither political nor religious, but per- son: al. After publication of a_note sent to Mrs. Willlam Randolph Hearst declin- ing an invitation to a luncheon she ‘was giving for Mr. Ludwig. Count Key- serling wired his managers from Cali- fornia: “My attitude toward Emil Ludwig is simply the result of his inaccurate and unjustified statements in his book on Bismarck about the Princess Bismarck my mother-in-law. Ludwig refused tc change the text in his book after being informed of the true facts.” The New York Times today prints a message it received from Mr. Ludwig who is in Detroit" “If Count Keyserling deems it proper in a letter to an American lady to ex- press without reason his antipathy to- ward another German author. my training as a common citizen forces me to decline to have any controversy with this nobleman while in a foreign coun- try where we are both guests.” In his biography. “Bismarck: The Story of a Fighter,” Mr. Ludwig calls the home of the Iron Chancellor an “uncouth and unspiritual “household.” He says the Princess Bismarck was an unduly pious and forever sick woman | whose character was the direct an- tithesis of that of her husband. Ludwig pictures the Princess Bis- marck 2s gpowimg “gmke passionate” as she rea¢hied old agé and mentions one instance where she smashed a giass in defense of her husband and another where she declared of some of her husband’s enemies that the “should m_m’ for them with the leg of a PREFERS SOFT SHIRTS. mn'« to Wales Protests “Starched Fronts” in Public Assemblies.

OXFORD, Eengland.—Oxford Univer- sity, although possibly the best known educational nstitution in the world, has' a much smaller. student enroliment than the scholastic cities known as JAmerican universities. The university year book for 1928, which has just been issued, gives the. number of under-i graduates as 6,053, the matriculation for this year being 1,503. Unlike American universities, however, the proportion of woman to man _stu- | dents is very small, the enrollment being: | divided into 5,126 men and 927 women, | which means. women are less than 20 per cent of the whole student body. | The number of woman students has {decreased in the Iast several yvears, al- though the university authorities have suddenly become alarmed at the num- {ber of woman students to the extent of |passing a regulation forbidding their |number to increase beyond a certain | proportion.
