Types Dropped Million
From Bank Figures
Just a little drop ot a million. The
types frequently make ducks and
drakes of figures, but the wonder is
r.ot that so many errors in the haste
of newspaper composition are made,
tut that they are really so few under
the circumstances.
The other day the Telegraph print
ed a tabular statement of the amounts
subscribed by the several local bank
ing institutions to the treasury cer
tificates in advance of the last Lib
erty Loan and the total of the First
National Bank was just an even mil
lion dollars less than the actual
amount subscribed by that institution
through the dropping of one little <
figure.

FRANCE OFFERS
ITS SCHOOLS TO
YANKEE TROOPS
Educational Proposition Made
to Mr. Baker by Andre
Tardieu
Washington, Dec. 13.—Andre Tar
dieu, High Commissioner of Franco-
American Affairs, has cabled Sec
retary Baker from Paris offering to
place educational resources fa
cilities of the French government at
the disposal of American soldiers in
the army of occupation and of those
who will be delayed in returning
home through the natural difficul
ties of transportation.
Special opportunities will bo given
American college students with the
Army and an opportunity to learn
French would be ufforded all Amer
ican soldiers. Secretary Baker has
not yet replied to the offer.
"The American people," says Mr.
Turdieu's message, "ure looking for
ward to the prompt return to tho
United States of the army which,
with such remarkable speed, came
to increase the number of the cham
pions of right. Although your gov
ernment is doing nil that is neces
sary to hasten this return ns much
as possible, the limitation in the
means of transportation, on the one
hand* and the necessities of occupy
ing enemy country, on the other, will
delay materially the ringing homo
of all your troops.
Plan is Outlined
"The French government knows
the care you have taken of the in
tellectual and moral lnterosts of your
army. The efforts of the Y. M. C.
A. and of all the organizations which
have devoted themselves to the com
fort and morul welfare of tho Amer
ican soldiers have been a source of
inspiration to all Frenchmen who
have watched their results
"The scheme that we propose
would be as follows:
"American College men would be
given access as freely as possible
to the French universities, and other
establishments for higher educa
tion: Facilities of arts, sciences,
medicine and law, Ecole des Beaux-
Arts. The technical schools, com
merial and agricultural schools in
Paris and in tho provinces, would
be thrown open to them with all
their resources for study: Labora
tories, collections, libraries, etc.
"Along with American students,
officers as well as privates, every
French university would udmlt at
least one American professor who
would lecture in English on subjects
concerning his own specialty and
have charge of American military
students.
