English Foreign Officia
Was Under Fire for Plan to End War in Ethiopia
London, Dec. 18 — (UE) – British foreign secretary Sir Samuel Horne co-author of the House-Lavale plan to settle the India-Ethiopian war by giving Italy half of Ethiopia, resigned tonight.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin accepted the resignation.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1925
This was reported reliably that Sir Samuel received because of differences in the culprit over the speech he is delivering, and Commissioner Comment forisonal policy delive today tomorrow.
The resignation surprised Stanley Baldwin, it was said. Half the cabinet opposed a "flipping descent of Sussex" to the king in a bid to align-Ethiopian peace negotiations."
Wanted Confession of Blunder
Neville and Austin Chamberlain reportedly waged Sir Samuel to confess he made a blunder at Paris.
League Secretary Anthony Eden'r refused to present the scheme to the League council today, except that he gave the foreign secretary in an embarrassing position Baldwin's assurance that his colleague had the utmost control.
Sir Samuel collaborated with French Premier Land in drafting the proposal 10 days ago in Paris. Reportedly, the proposal was designed to allow of Italy going背帛塞, and spreading war in Europe if League sanctions were permitted to follow their course at home.
Sir Samuel was believed to have gained the impression that if the proposed League oil embargo, which since

It's not news when the two top Jaya-
hawker Magazine freshman beauty queens are from the same town it's just a coincidence. A collection of the right-hand men are all from the same town, then that is news! We hate to say this, folks, but there is a rat in the woods. I would like you to think about the question that Diana's best assistant, or secretary, or something close like that, attended the Independence, Mo. high school at the same time as the winners, pay to know in the best people we sit.
All of the HIll publications came out yesterday, and none of our good citizens were hurt mortally or physically. Harry Hayward was a bit upset over the columnists methods of getting news and also some of the so called news. Walk old Harry has changed a bit since he was 17 when summer. Do you remember Harry?
As you probably know by now, the Owl was not censured, but there's a remote chance that something might happen in the near future. Dean Werner will not be mixed up in the fray should the magazine be censored, because the Dean is very English, and therefore has no color of humor.
Needless to say that everyone around the Kauai is happy. The Library will have new steps, because steps were taken to get new steps. The old steps are being reconditioned and Jim Clark-ana says that grade two lumber is being used. Better use the best or another cruisse will begin shortly.

Death Declared Accidental
Thelma Todd Was Victim of Carbon Monoxide Fumes
Hollywood, Dec. 18-(UF) - A coroner's jury tonight decided that bearable Thela Todd, happy go-liucky friend of the films, died accidentally, suffocating in carbon monoxide fumes to escape windworm early Sunday.
The verdict was returned after an all-day session during which a fantastic accumulation of tangled and conflicting evidence served to complicate rather t. an clarify the strangecircumscribing surrounding the actress' death
The jury's verdict read: "It appears death was accidental, but we recommend an investigation in this case by proper authority."
Ten's Student Council Opposes Early Classes
Special Meeting Last Night Votes Against Change in Time
A special meeting of the Men's Student Council last night resulted in their voting to go on record as opposing the proposed change of the time for the opening of classes. Considerable agitation has been present on the campus for the past several weeks in favor of the shifting of opening time from 8:30 to 8 o'clock, but differing from the openings, the new school association which a few days ago voted in favor of the change, the Council opposes the shift.
the calendar committee on the university Senate is the recipient of a number of complaints from business men in Lawrence and from various groups on the campus whose functions are important. Downtown merchants complain that it throws the University students out of step with the city's business customs, while one of the foremost agitators favoring the change is the intramural department, which claims that its functions are cut short by the city's regulations. Lorne Lane, Council treasurer, led a lively argument on the subject, favoring the retention of the present system on the grounds that working students are even pressed for time as conditions stand, and that the current system would make their troubles even more numerous. The Council was of the opinion that if the issue were submitted to vote by the student book" the change
ion that if the issue were submitted to a vote by the student body the change would be generally opposed.
Pill Raup's bill in regard to the new method of awarding Council keys was given its first and second readings last night, and will be read again and voted on at the next meeting, on Jan. 8. The legislation provides that members may secure their keys after the first meeting of the second senator, before the vote under the former method of awards the Council furnished the emblems.
By way of reply to the great amount of discussion concerning speakers sponsored by the Council's forum committee, it was announced that a complete list of speakers for the remainder of the year would be posted before school reconvenues after the Christmas holidays, in order that students may be nominated with their statements's efforts to secure both the liberal and conservative clauses.
A possibility that the Council might take action on the present disagreement between the Hill orchestra and the Union Orchestra is that an event of dances was seen, when members of the group expressed a desire to hear William Cochrane, Union manager, in a statement of his attentions to the orchestra for dances in their services at the dances.
Because of a lack of sufficient funds to provide all expenses for four Council delegates to the N.F.S.A. convention in Kansas City during the Christmas holidays, is was agreed that John Murray and Loyale Lane were站 as regular delegates with all expenses paid and that Delmar Curry and an associate delegate with a part of their expenses borne by 'he Council.

Invite League of Nations to Seek Solution of Conflict
Geneva, Dec. 17.—(UP)-France and Great Britain will expand to world indication today, and abandoned to the decision of other nations their plan to partition Europe.
They invited the League of Nations council to try its own hand at the delicate task of seeking a peaceful solution of the Italian-Ethiopian conflict.
Council members listened with undisguised surprise as representatives of the two great powers attempted almost simultaneously to draw in drafting the Paris peace proposal.
News of Sir Samuel Hoare's resignation from the British cabinet created a sensation tonight. Combined with an appeal to the Commons to peace plan, it revealed "that defective sanctions against Italy now can be attempted, and an oil embargo voted soon." The old motion was shelved at the request of France and Britain, but it did not failed. It still is
