DENTAL STUDENTS 10 VISIT SESSION Classes at Georgetown Will Be Suspended During As- sociation Meetings. Classes will b> suspended this week at the Georgetown University School of | Dentistry, Dean William N. Cogan an- nounced yesterday, to enable the pi fossors and stugdents to follow the pr ceedings of the American Dental ‘As- sociation, which convenes tomorrow for its scventy-first annual sessions. The convention will continue through Fri- day. Many of the Georgetown dental pro- fossors are on the committees, arrang- ing for the program and other activi- ties of the convention, including Dr. Sterling V. Mead, who is also pres dent, of the District of Columbia Den- tal Society. In view of the importance of the convention sessions and the exhibits arranged in connection with it. Dean Cogan believed it would be well to give the students a free opportunity to attend the open sessions, which will be addressed by some of the leading men in the profession besides the heads of the Government medical service: The Georgetown students themselves have been working for many months in preparation for the convention, for the school is represented in the exhibits, which are to be housed in the Wasl ington Auditorium. Dr. Mead super- vised the models of dental work done by the students in the school labora- tories which are said to reflect much merit on the Dental School. To Entertain Alumni. eorgetown is prepared to entertain \'is?l'mgg alumni, who will be in attend- ance at the convention and one of the special trips on the convention pro- gram is an inspection of the new Den- tal School of the university, on Reser- voir road. It was a keen disappoint- ment to the faculty that the new school was not ready for occupancy before the delegation assembled in Washington, In the new plant, however, the visitors will see one of the best equipped dental chools in the country. S0 Represented by a student body drawn | from practically every State and more than a score of forelgn nations, the School of Foreign Service of George- fown University opened its eleventh scholastic year last week with an en= Toliment approximately 25 per cent larger than last year. During the Summer many of the pro- fessors and students made trips to Eu- yope and South America, some to at- tend professional conferences, others to engage in special research work that will count for additional credits during the newly opened term. A few of the members of the classes in international shipping found employment on maritime vessels during the Summer and visited numerous ports of the world in assim- flating fcats for post-graduate theses. Group Studied at Dijon. Among the students returning for the np(‘mnggof the school were Richard Bourdon, Robert Camino, Edward Hornibrook, Lawrence T. Weir and Ste- phen Ardes, who attended the Summer session of the University of Dijon in France. On the French national holi- day, July 14, they placed a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris in the name of Georgetown Uni- versity. The course at Dijon University was over early in the Summer, so these five youths started out to see something of the world while they were about it. They went to Northern Africa, Italy, Germany and the British Isles before returning homeward. Dr. J, de S. Coutinho of the faculty returned last week from a Summer in Berlin, where he lectured at the Sum- mer school of the University of Berlin on Portuguese literature and Latin American_ relations. _Another faculty member, Prof. William Franklin Sands, has just returned from Mexico as & member of the Commission on Cultural Relations with a group of representa- tives from other American universities, and Charles A. Medernach has returned from an extended visit to South Ameri- can countries. While in the Argentine he made a special study of that coun- try's economic problems. ‘With student activities in full swing at the college the Mask and Bauble Club held its first meeting recently for the purpose of organizing and mapping its plans for the year. Dramatic Club Officers. Frank Wenzler was elected president of the dramatic club, the other new officers being Willlam McLarney, vice president; Richard Hungerford, secre- tary, and William Casson, treasurer. This year the club is' to have Prof. Thomas J. Stokes for its moderator. He succeeds Rev. F. A. Murphy, who trained the casts for last year’s pro- ductions. Mr. Stokes has always been active in dramatic activities not only at_Georgetown but elsewhere. While too early in the season to formulate its program, the officers of the dramatic club expect to stage sev- eral productions during the year. Due to its popularity, the organization has no difficulty in recruiting available talent among the new students. One of the most welcome visitors at the Hilltop since the opening of school was Dr. Joseph Reilly, '05, former foot ball and track coach and one of the greatest of all Georgetown ath- Jetes. Dr. Reilly was the star halfback of the Hilltop teams of his day and intercollegiate champion in the quar- | ter mile. He was lead-off man also in the unbeatable relay team, with Charley McCarthy, Jim Mulligan and William Holland. ~ After his graduation Dr. Reilly remained at Georgetown as coach until 1909, when he left to take | up the position of superintendent of the famous Kansas City Athletic Club, which he still holds. Georgetown's Literary Academy, one of the most active of the college or- ganizations, will hold its first meeting of the year today. John McManus was _elected president of the society at its final meeting last Spring. The academy plans to extend its membership this year to juniors. Here- tofore it has been confined ‘o members of the sophomore class, John D. O'Reilly, of the Dis- trict of Columbia, has been appointed ! librarian in charge of the Law School | library, one of the largest in the uni- versity. , He will have as his_assist- ants this year James Beniten, Thomas ; H. Byron, John J. Manning and Wil- | liam I O'Neil. MACDONALD THANKS GREETERS IN AMERICA Messenges of Welcome Touch Pre- mier Deeply, i He Says, in Expressing Appreciation. By the Assoclated Press. Jrime Minister Macdonald yesterday thanked the American people for the many messages of welcome which have poured in from over the country. “The messages of welcome which 1 have received from all parts of the United States,” he said, “have touched me no less deeply than the unforget- able greeting which the citizens of New York and Washington were good enough % accord to me yesterday. “Your greetings and your welcome are a greeting and a welcome through me to the peoPle of Great Britain, and } lI}nuw that it will make their hearts ull, 3 “I hope to thank as soon as I am able all of those who have sent me mes- sages of welcome and encouragement, but I wish to thank them now, in the fullness of my heart, without waiting; to thank them on behalf of the people of Great Britatin; to tell them what hope they give me for the future, and to assure them how deeply they are appreciated and how warmly they will be echaed.” json, N. J.; LAW, SCHOOL Remaining Graduate THE ITHIRD OF STUDENTS PRACTICE SURVEY SHOWS s Use Knowledge in Other Businesses, N. U. Observers Hold. One-third of the men and women who receive degrees at the completion of their law school course actually prac- tice the profession, while the remaining majority of the law degree holders use their legal education in other profes-| sions and in business. This is true at least of National Uni- versity Law School graduates, as was shown in a survey just completed by that institution. In view of the fact that National's students are fairly rep- resentative of the law students in the District of Columbia, where it has be- come an_institution through its more than 60 years of devalopment with the life of the Capital, the same ratio is believed to apply to the whole field of law students here. National University's survey indi- cated that law students come from practically every walk of life, with many of them employed in compara- tively lowly positions in private busi- ness and Government service and oth- ers holding high positions in civil, pro- fessional and military life. The survey showed further that the idea that only young men and women study who in- tend to practice it as a profession is| no longer true. “The National University survey in- | dicated that law courses are being un- | dertaken as a matter of general educ: tion in an increasing number of cases,” Dr. Charles F. Carusi, chancellor of the university and president of the District of Columbia Board of Education, said in announcing the results of the study. “Those of us who have watched the trend are convinced that the percent- age of law students who actually in- tend to practice the profession will be reduced even further, in the face of the increasing numbers who study law as an adjunct to a complete education.” Candidates to Prepare. Concurrent with the announcement of the findings produced by the survey, National's own candidates for doctorate degrees were advised they will be re- quired this year to begin at once the preparation of their respective theses in order to defend them publicly next Spring before a special committee. This committee will consist of a group of distinguished men prominent in the profession, who will be invited to sit in judgment upon the papers by the untversity. | this Fanl ‘The graduate department of the university will offer special courses in both the law school and school of economics and government. One of these for the third year and graduate students, is the course c¢n trusts and monopolies given by Prof. E. F. Haycraft, member of the board of review, Federal Trade Commission. Since the World War business and in- dustrial conditions have changed rapidly and the antitrust laws on the statute books are being challenged daily as never before. This course deals with the laws applicable to such situations. WIill Teach Jurisprudence. During the coming term of the Na- tional University Dr. C. D. Kojouharoft, research professor, will lecture on the system of international relations, this being a discussion of the fundamental principles and factors underlying inter- national relations. He will also pive a course on jurisprudence, intended to give a background of the origins of legal principles and concepts of the various leading jurists. Kappa Beta Pi is the first organiza- tion in the university to become active The following women in the school have been elected to lead the Omecron Chapter of this sorority: Miss Edith Cooper, dean; Miss Berthan Richardson Lane, assistant dean; Lydia Kemball Cole, registrar; Frances Foley, chancellor, and EMen K. Ready, mar- shall. Installation of these officers took place last week and the retiring dean, Sarah W. Sechrest, assisted by Edwina A. Avery, were in charge of the pro- ceedings. Several additions to the faculty have been made in the School of Economics and Government. Dr. Calvin 1. Kep- hart, examiner, Interstate Commerce Commission, will lecture on comparative government on Tuesdays and Thurs- | days at 4:45 pm. Dr. J. G. Sims, grad- uate of the University of Chicago and | of Merryville College of Tennessee, will lecture on jurisprudence and legal his- tory, while Henry M. Lewis will deliver a general course in political science.

Last Friday the first jury trial of the year in the moot court was held. U.5. DEAD IN RUSSIA ARE ON WAY HOME Expedition Hastens Work to, Get Bodies Out Before Winter Sets In. BY LINDSAY HOBEN. ARCHANGEL, Russia, October (N.AN.A.)—~Up here on the edge the Arctic, where Winter already is appearing and the sun hangs low on the southern horizon even at noon, the last of the American expeditionary forces are evacuating. It is a quiet evacuation after a scarcely known campaign, for the | United States hardly knew its forces 5 of | occupied Archangel with other Allied | 8ir armies and fought against the Bol- sheviks in 1918 and 1919. Why the Americans came has never | quite been understood, and it is gen- erally written down as one of the “bulis” of the war, but the last of the soldiers are now leaving. Rows of Iron Boxes. ‘There are no bugles; no flying colors; no parades. There are merely rows of galvanized iron boxes, soldered, sealed with name and company stenciled on in black paint, shellac covered. ‘The boxes, which are now ready, re- pose in the warehouse of the Soviet ‘Wood Export Trust awaiting a boat to take them from Archangel to Havre, whence they will be taken to New York and eventually to a special cemetery being prepared in Detroit, Mich. Some of the more than 200 American soldiers killed in the campaign up here against the Reds were taken back when the troops withdrew in October, 1919. It is the 128 who were left in scattered graves of the north country who were now being taken home—men from the 339th Infantry, the 337th Ambulance Company, the 310th Engi- neers. From Archangel southward they fell along the railway, the northern Dwina, the Kadysh front, the Onega and the Vega, confluent of the northern Dwina. But 10 years have wrought a change. Today the Veterans of Foreign Wars Mission to the U. S. S. R., financed by an appropriation of Congress, and headed by Capt. Stuart Duncan Camp- bell, United States Army, is working with the full co-operation of the Bol- shevik government in the exhumation | work. Personnel of Mission. A special delegation appointed by the Governor of Michigan preceded Capt. Campbell and his group by a few weeks and located and marked the graves. Now Capt. Campbell and Capt. Edwin Summer Bettelheim, jr., Wash- ington, co-head of the mission, who represents the Veferans of Foreign Wars, are executing the actual exhuma- tion of the bodies. ‘With them are Walter Dundon, De. troit, president of the Polar Bear As: sociation Post; Frank Pespishil, Pate: Russel H. Dutcher, Los geles, Calif, and Orlando Overstake, Decatur, Ill. The last three are regu- larly stationed in France. Transportation, except for the single railway running from Archangel to Vo- logda, is almost confined to the rivers in this country bordering on the White Sea. It was along these lines of com- munication that the fighting took place 10 years ago, and it is scattered along these rivers that the bodies lie now in half-forgotten graves in the tundra, the dreary Arctic forests and in tiny villages. “But the Soviet Government is of- fering every assistance,” Capt. Camp- bell says, “and we shall obtain a small river boat to work into the territory where the more remote graves are.” Dressed as Russians. The entire mission is very wisely clad in Russian clothes, from boots to coats, which makes for good will on the part of the Archangel inhabitants. Chill winds are blowing down from Barents Sea and the polar ocean. Cold rain falls most of the time. Soon the Dwina and its tributaries will be frozen. Capt. Campbell, Capt. Bettelheim and the athers are h that the last of the American expeditionary force may leave the battlefields before another Arctic Winter settles its cold, grayish] blanket completely over the north coun- try.

K.*ON M’DONALD Eddie Savoy Is First to Greet Pre- mier and Is Rewarded With Briton's Smile. Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdon- ald's success as an ambassador of peace and good-will is assured in the United States unless Eddie Savoy, 76-year-old colored messenger to Henry E. Stimson, Secretary of State, has lost his cunning. idie has been serving American Secretaries of State in the same capac- ity for 60 years and his appraisal of visiting notables ever is made with the infallibility cf a judicial verdict. On special occasions, Eddie brings out his time-honored frock coat and this morning found the old messenger “dressed for the occasion” and lording it over the other messengers with the | assurance of & feudal baron. It was Eddie who first greeted Prime Minister Macdonald at the elevator door and hobbled before him as he crossed the corridor to Secretary Stim- son's office, saying, in a piping voice, with each step: -;?hu way, Mr. Pre-meer, this way, “What do you think of him, Eddie>” a newspaper man asked, after the Brit- ish minister had given the dimihutive messenger one of his most pleasant smiles. “Very favorable, very favorable, in- deed, sir!” the gray-haired messenger replied solemnly. DEBATERS ORGANIZE AT COLLEGE OF LAW First Meet Held Last Night—Post- Graduate Courses Un- der Way. The Freshman Debating Society was organized at the Washingion College of Law last night. At that first meeting the rules of parliamentary law which will govern the procedure to be fol- lowed in the debates were explained. ‘The morning classes at the school were started last Monday with a very encouraging enrollment. The post- g::du:l: class began Monday and the ent law course got under way on ‘Wednesday. - > With the organization of the new morning class Honorary Dean Ellen Spencer Mussey, one of the founders of the institution 34 years ago, reviewed the progress that has rewarded the efforts she and the succeeding deans have given to make Washington Col- lege one of the leading law schools of ‘Washington. Calling attention to the fact that the college was incorporated primarily as an institution where women could receive training for the legal pro- fession, she said: “The founders of the school were broadminded enough to make their college co-educational, rather than a purely feminine institu- tion, but they did not dream in those pioneer days that the proportion of about one man to two women would be exactly reversed in a few years, This, however, became the case.” OFFICER KICKED IN COURT RECOVERING FROM INJURY Prisoner Who Made Attack on Gravely Gets Additional Time in Jail. Detective Spottswood F. Gravely of the third precinct, who was assaulted and severely kicked in the abdomen by Christopher E. Papalos, a prisoner in Police Court yesterday, reported last night that his condition was very much improved, but that he was “going to auck around the precinct for a few ays.” Gravely was leaving the courtroom behind Papalos, who was being con- ducted to a cell after receiving a sen- |tence of 180 days from Judge Robert E. Mattingly on a vagrancy charge, when the prisoner suddenly whirled on the policeman. Gravely was caught completely off guard and went to the }!ootr under a kick from Papalos’ right foot. The man _who said that he lives in Silver Hill, Md., was rearranged before Judge Mattingly a few minutes later and received 180 days additional for the assault on Gnv;ley, ke ‘The prisoner became enraged af testimony of the detective which he said was false. ‘When brought before the judge for the second time the man insisted on talking back, and he left the court- room aftey telling Judge Mattingly that he had sten enough of him.
