Masks will be required of all students attending classrooms as well as of all Wisitors entering any buildings on the campus. This announcement was made today by Dr.

Robert Legge, University of California physician, following the failure of the Berkeley city council yesterday to pass an emergency masking ordinance and in the face of threats made at the meeting at the city hall to compel the state university to open whether or not masking laws are passed. "By January 20 the peak In this new curve in the influenza epidemic, we hope, will have been passed," said Dr. Legge today, "so that a further ponement of the opening date of the university is unlikely. 1 have recommended to the president and to the advisory deans that masks be adopted on the. campus to be worn at all times when more than two persons congregate.

We will make provisions also to care for all who are stricken with the malady." According to Dr. Legge; the university's problems will be simpler this year owing to the fact that there will be no military men living on the campus, with the danger of contagion greatly minimized through this fact. "In my argument for the mask I have sought to pick no quarrel with any cult" is the answer of Dr. Legge to the threat of C. M.

It is almost tragic to me and to the other men in the medical fraternity that we not been able to cope with this epidemic.

Were it any other disease it would have been checked in a fortnight. But the baffling nature of this influenza germ has prevented us from checking its spread. For that reason I would urge almost any measure be adopted conthat tains the slightest chance of saving life."

Wilson today cabled from Paris to the national war labor board to make an immediate a investigation and an award in the New York harbor strike, promising that the navy department, war department, the railroad administration and the shipwill make the award effective, it was officially announced White House executive offices today. The text of the President's cable follows: "I have been informed by the secretary of labor, as the serious situation which has developed in the port of New York and the strike of marine workers which seriously cripples the movement of the crops and supplies. Consider this a very grave emergency and understand that it has arisen because the parties to the controversy failed to make a joint submission to the national war labor board. "I earnestly request that you take up this case again and proceed to make.a finding.

appreciate the honesty and sincerity of the board in announcing, on Wednesday, that it could not promise a final decision in the controversy without a formal submission of all parties, but I am sure. that the war and navy departments, railroad the shipping administration board and and any the other governmental agencies interested in the will use alt the power they possess to make your finding effective, and I also believe that private boat feel constrained by every consideration of patriotism in the present emergency to accept any recommendation which your board may make. Although the national war labor board, up to the signing of the armistice, was concerned solely with prevention of stopping of war work and the maintenance of production of materials essential to the conduct the war. I take this opportunity of saying that it is my earnest hope that in the present period of industrial transition arising from the war, the board should use all means within its power to stabilize conditions and to prevent industrial dislocation and warfare.
