BERLIN PRESS HAPPY AT WILSON’S DEFEAT Eumplev of “Fine Americans” Bound to Make Deep Impression, They BEaditorinlize. Berlin, March 7, (via.Tuckerton, N.. J.)—The essence of the leading ar- ticles 'is that ‘as long as there .are ien in the American congress who “boldly refuse to have thelr ‘country involved in the European slaughter merely for the sake of gratifying Wil- son’s . vainglorious ambition, there is | hope that the common sense pf the American people will assert itself and that they will not permit the appal- ling insanity to spread to the 'New World that holds the Old World in a merciless grip.” The Frankfurter Zejtung compam the recent proceedings in congress with those of the parliaments of Ru- mania and Ttaly shortly before those two nations entered the war, and arrives at the tonclusion that, al- though America has in Wilson an improvement on Salandra and Bratiano, hard-headed men like Senators Stone and La Follette: pre- vented him from sweeping the legis lators off their feet and .practically frustrated the president’s plan to wrest from congress priviléges vested in it by the constitution. “The example of these fine. Ameri- cans who remairied uncontaminated by Wilson’s blind devotion to Eng- Jand,” the newspaper) says, ‘‘was bound to-make a deep impression, es- pecially in the West, where the. people surely' could see no glory in being killed for the sake of the Union Jack.” The fact that the old corgress ad- journed without . definite ' result can- mot but influence the new congress, new members of which have to thank the pacifists for their elections, the 'Frankfort paper asserts.

Prlncetom N. J., March 'l.—'l'he an- nual statistics of the senior class have recently been puhlhhgd and discloses some interesting fact about the uni- Versity and the members of the class. , In reply to the, question what Princeton needed most, answers were given in the following order: Endow- ments, better paid professors, a foot- ball championship, a hockey rink and the restoration of the hazing of fresh- men. : Friendship, a 'broader viewpoint and experience. were the most valu- | able things gained from a college ca- reer. The majority of the seniors admit kissing a girl, but twenty-seven men have never done so and forty- one feel that it is mbrally wrong 'to kiss.

He is a Princeton graduate. Elsie Ferguson is first in the hearts of the seniors as an actress and Doug- las Fairbanks is acclaimed the best actor. GUARDSMEN MISSING.
