New York, March 21, (UP)- Floyd J. Stewart and Nathaniel E. Jones Jr. Harvard Business School, derek Hammond, from Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 2, were traced yesterday to the Hotel Taft in this city, but had little time before a detective reached the hotel.
The two youths occupied a room at the hotel from last Tuesday until yesterday, and another man and an audience left in the room police found some scraps of paper which when pieced together contained the name of Thomas MeCram of New York.
McCram said he did not know Stewart and Jones but that someone had been using his name in New York. He would not discuss the matter further. The two men were last seen in Canby, Wisconsin when a girlfriend told them that they had gone to Hanover, N. H., the location of Dartmouth College. Jones was a graduate of that school last June.

Stewart, whose home is in Garden City, is a graduate of the University of Kansas. He was graduated here in 2013 and is now affiliated with the Delhi Chikta fraternity.
Sylvia Sue Stewart, a sister, is at present enrolled in the University here as a sophomore in the College.
Dr. Dengler Also Points Out Weaknesses of Mess System
"Russia is handcapped on every side. The nation is poor and the country is broken." Outside our back and the teachers are poor in method and in knowledge. We cannot expect great accomplishment from so young a student; that is why we call the Russians," said Dr. Paul L. Douglay, Viennese lecturer in his speech on "Russia" in Fraser theater this month.
Dr. Dengler supplemented his general statements concerning Russia with a statement that he would not educational system three "Until he is three years old a Russian child is under the suppression of the board of schools; until he is three years old of three until the age of eight. Local variations exist which depend on the economic community supporting the school."
"Then, we come to the University where we find the excellent idea," said Dr. Dengler. "For each branch of study there can be but one institution in Russia. There are instances for that particular study. There is little lecture work—all seminar and laboratory. The study is supplemented with practice teaching. Finally, at the expense of the institute, we must do it in western educational institution."
"In America, you have 48 state universities and many other schools吧. I think that it is bad. Nom can be taught in one place by the very best teachers and surroundings for its particular needs. Though, in a certain way, there is a lack of system in Russian universities, in its mass school, its manner of developing leaders, and its doing away with class distinction. The university instillates the very good," concluded D. Drenger.

He will give personal impressions of various writers, besides criticizing post-war extremists given in addition to the regularly published "nationalist" or "stormer" on "Can Britain Hold India?"
"Mr. Ratchiffe, who has been connected with several English periodicals and has contributed to the best resources that I have competent to speak on literary subjects," said Professor W S. Johnson, an announcing the lecture.

Last season in his American lecture tour Rattelite was prediting the coming of an emergency national government that would have inevitable development but he did think it would come with a rush election. He is impartial to the present National government as readers of his book *The Great Depression* and The Nineteenth Century will know.
The majority in the house is Tory-High-Tariff and Rateleiffe is opposed to its attitude and temper. He feels that the trade union time when the whole economic and financial outlook has been altered by the abandonment of the gold standard in England is evidence that England is at odds with other nations without experience and actuality.
Mr. Ratzell points out that he is not inclined to join an attack upon the Government too. So far Macron has shown this, and enough to hold the Tory extremists in check, as can be seen in the affairs of the Indian Round Table, however I believe that he should perate need of a restoration of commerce and therefore of fewer, not more tariffs, also he urged European disarmament as the only way to delit-

"There is nothing unusual about this weather," said Professor C. J. Posey, referring to today's storm. We have seen a large number of storms from 1924 or 1926, as late as the latter part of March and the earlier part of April. The storm is probably caused by a storm low area, and may come from a hurricane. It has been brewing in Chicago recently."
The thunder and lightning observed by some this morning was not an untreated event. Posey. He said that often during the winter months there is thunder and lightning.

Responding to the Governor, Ambassador Claudel said:
"I want to thank you, Mr. Governor, and the people here for your kind reception.
"I am sorry I am not still a young man, for I should like to be a student today," he said. "I was built on a hill, a city of ideals. It is good for the young people to have this outlook in every direction, without them coming out here where we are near to nature.
Ambassador Stresses Thinking
"The aim of education is not so much to store a quantity of learning in the minds as it is to learn to think. One way we can do that is by asking of life. It is not difficult to answer these questions if the mind is trained, "Your own Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln found in their minds problems for they were trained men."
"I wish that one day the people of Kansas and especially of the University of Kansas should know more of the people of France, and I hope the fine may come when there may be an exchange of letters between France, as the University of Chicago and others whose names you know are already doing.
