I am persuaded that as soon as economic condl tions are better the university will greatly add both to Its tangible and to its Intangible resources and I am also persuaded that you should have a younger president to help you in that fine and love ly service. "A number of times, recent and nut recent, I have expressed a similar belief to official and un official friends of the university, whose Judgment all of us are ac customed to value; their counsel may have been too highly tinc tured by their friendship. Who can sayT "At any rate, the years have passed on, but now I must defin itely ask to be relieved from my present position not later than the end of the next college year. The intervening months will allow you unhurried opportunity to secure tli a man best qualified to do the work required; and the transition from one administration -to anoth er may be made so easily that the nniferslty need not suffer the loss or a single forward Impulse."

Peipiao Held By Japanese After Fight TOKYO. Feb. 22 (Wednesday) (AP) Peipiao, terminus of an Important railroad link .into, tne Chinese province of Jehoi, has fallen before the mighty Japan ese war machine, which aims to annex Jehol to Manchukuo. Occupation of the town, lo cated strategically on the Chln-chow-Peipiao branch of the Peip- Ing-Mukden line, was completed after Japanese soldiers had taken nearby Nanling and Koupeiying txu. This maneuver put the Japan ese military organisation, a ma chine well-trained and equipped with the latest Inventions of war. virtually in control of the railroad spur, over which, It Is expected, the Japanese will move troops when the long-awaited major push into Jehol begins. Military authorities said taking Peipiao will end momentarily Jap anese Incursions into the old province. Details of the fighting at the railroad town were not Immedi ately available here. (Conflicting messages said Peipiao was eon' quered after the taking of Nan ling, and Koupeiyingtsu, and the fighting at Chaoyangssu, a rail road town Just over the Jehol border, which would mean Wed nesday afternoon, most likely. Other advices said Peipiao fell at 2 p. m. Tuesday). E Bank Reopening Fracas is Cause of Arrests by Umatilla Officer PENDLETON. Feb. 21.
