This referred to Hitler’s assertion that Britain forced the war upon France and drove a reluctant France into it on her side. It was reported that France and Britain were preparing a formal and joint declaration announcing that they will wage the war until Hitlerism is annihilated and advance re-

mt. Til.DEN SPEAKS AT DEPAUW CHAPEL “Education today is attempting to fit students to live usefully in the new world that is developing," said Dr. Fiancis C. Tilden in DePauw chapel Wednesday. He compared the college of today with the DePauw of the nineties, when there was still emphasis on a "gentleman's education and culture.” “Times have changed as much In the last ten years as they did in the preceding fifty years,” Dr. Tilden continued. He told students that they should leant history, economics, and sciences to understand what is going on in the world; “even literature now is devoted to portrayals of real life rather than to style or plot.’’ Dr. Tilden called the older type of education for culture a weapon of class consciouness in the hands of the small minority who attended co'lege. “Now over thirty per cent of the people in America are attending college to fit themselves into a harder world,” he added; “they want knowledge that will go through life with them.”

The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Horace Askew, chairman of the program committee, who introduced Miss Lenore Alspaugh whose subject was “Indiana’s President Geneials.” For her reference Miss Alspaugh used the book "Story of the Records of Daughters of the American Revolution’’ by Mary S.

INDICATE PARTITIONING I Coniiiilied from 1’nicc One) (Lwow,) and that Poles had retreated from that vicinity across the Hungarian border. The Germans’ chief interest today, however, was in the British and French reaction to Adolf Hitler’s speech at Danzig. One of the points of the speech that Germans considered significant was that Hitler had made no peace offers to Britain and France nor had he suggested, as newspapers had been doing, that there was no further reason for Britain and France to fight, since Poland had been “eliminated.” Nevertheless, it was pointed out, he had said he had no “war claims” against France or Britain and that he wanted peace with the British people. This was interpreted to mean that he was willing to stop fighting if the allies stopped. It was noted that Hitler’s voice had been lower than usual yesterday, and seemed to have been tired and strained. He had read the speech | slowly from a manuscript, but had I made several mistakes and had gotfe I back and corrected himself. Once, when he had referred to the late Marshal Josef Pilsudski while meaning Marshal Edward Smygiy-Rydz of the Polish army. Hitler apparently had not even noticed his error and had proceeded without correcting himself. Hitler was reported to have left Danzig immediately after the speech but his whereabouts today were not disclosed.
