1 ROM LIBERIA NATION
LONDON. March 1 "> Liberia is
said to have been tin* only state at
war with Germany which expelled
every German from within its gates
and; sequestrated all their property.
Before the war there were about 300
German citizens in Monrovia, tiij
capital, and Liberia was rapidly be
coming a German protectorate, say.
Alan Bourchior Lethbridge, in tn»*
Daily Telegraph. The Germans, he
adds, controlled a giant wireless plant
and evidently had made arrange
ments to use Liberia as a link in the
chain of colonial possessions.
Their places now are being rapi lly
taken by Spaniards and Mr. Leth
bridge predicts that if Spanish immi
gration into Liberia continues, Spain
will have the largest foreign colon/
in the country.

POVERTY IS NO HARRIER
TO COl.EKC.K EDUCATION
BOSTON. March 15 • A student in
an American university can bo suc
cessful in study, sports and social lit*’
even when compelled to support him
self throughout his college career, ac
cording to the findings of an inqu.ry
conducted at Harvard. Poverty, the
investigators report, is not an insu
perable barrier to students who ha\a
initiative and courage.
The inquiry showed that some <elf
supporting students earned $5,000 or
more in their four years at the univer
sity and that it was not unusual for
a student to earn $5,000, stand well
in his classes and be a leader in stu
dent activities.

Xenuna taxpayers owed only ahoi t
