MORAL SUPPORT ONLY
No Sympathetic Strikes Will be Called to Aid Rail
Men
Paris, March 1—The general federation of labor, which has assumed the direction of the French railway strike, today announced that it had refused to allow the strike called in sympathy with railroad men to be included.
The federation will extend its moral support only.
The strike situation remains stationary today. The city food supply, government officials said, was assumed. The larger cities have been ordered to commandeer automobiles and other means of transportation where necessary to insure food distribution.
The strikers today apparently have abandoned their more specific demands, particularly for a promise for immediate nationalization of the rail lines, and were seeking to make the issue more general. A majority of trains, taking the entire country into consideration were reported running.
Mobilization of strikes subject to military duty was begun this morning.

The number of men to receive these awards will be distributed among the schools of the state.

Probation Period One-Half Gone;
Loafers May Have to Leave University
Reports on probations are gradually coming in to the office, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, who has charge of the probationed students. "All instructors in the College have had their classes are asked to report on the work of those students," said Professor Patterson. "The probation period of eight weeks is now one-half gone. Many students on probation who had injured their work of last semester by devoting too much time to outside work have given up the latter and the same work has improved in consequence."
"Some of the more serious minded students are making a decided improvement while others are seriously neglecting their work. Unless the latter show a decided interest in their studies, they will be asked to sever their connection with the University" according to Mr. Patterson.
