Berlin Under Swav Of Industrial Rule, Declares Poincare
Germany Will Bankrupt Sell Rather Than Pay France is the Belief of Premier
Paris, April 23.—The Berlin government is the prisoner of an industrial oligarchy similar to the old military oligarchy, which seeks to force Germanium into bankruptcy, in an attempt to escape payment of reparations, while meanwhile he grows the greatest industrial machine, Premier Indoene declared in an exclusive statement given the United Press.
Bern killed as in Fre-理-邦·莱.
"Sometimes powerless, the government often as an accomplice, the government at Berlin is a prisoner of an oligarch which, like that of the old militaries, runs the empire. No measures are taken to prevent exportation of capital. Insufficient taxes are inefficiently collected and the fall of the mark is augmented from week to week."
Berlin Ruled as in Pre-war Days
Poinare stated that reports of three cabinet ministers who have just returned, show that the situation in the Ruhr is improving. He charged that Berlin is directing the armed resistance to the assault on the assassination of French soldiers.
"The population of the Rubr valley doesn't intend to sacrifice itself to the war," said Garrison, who since the Versailles treaty has done everything to avoid payment of reparations, to build their own prosperity, at the expense of execution of the Treaty.
France Bears Burden of Debt
"But at the same time, while they are thus preparing openly and voluntarily for bankruptcy, the money owed the allies is being employed to perfect an industrial machine and to increase production in preparation for the economic struggle for the future.
"It is not sufficient to solve the separation question quickly and definitely, but it must be an equitable process," said Mr. Huckabee, the world would have rushed on, stipulated if, in the face of ruined France, the migrates of German industry had been in freezing Germany from her succession. "I want a democratic nationality. What an encouragement it would have been to those who dream of future revenge, who don't regret aggression, but only its lack of success; and who would have unleashed a better than murderous war against America the soldiery of right in a great war?
Ruhr Occupation Successful "In the Ruhr we observe a sort of relaxation. The population is becoming accustomed to the present state of strain. The infrequent incidents are the work of a small minority. The striking realization in the Ruhr strike 31 by Freeholm showed to today why these incidents which cause bloodshed, are prepared in Berlin."
As a reply to the statement o President Ebert in an interview given the United Press, in which the German chief executive dwells at some location, French troops at Essen, Poincare recerved the whole Eessen, Incident reviewed in striking proof that the French soldiers were attacked one that they maintained remarkable discipline before finally retaliating.

That graduates of the University of Kansas have the ability to do more than one thing is again shown by the work of Mr. and Mrs. E, F. Abels. Mr. Abels, A. B. 14,' superintendent of schools at De Soto, lately decided to go into newspaper work, and purchased a paper in aouthouse in Miami town of absence, so Mr. Abels, A. B. 16, formerly Marie Robinson, of Eudora, took over the editorship and management of the paper.
Graduates' Work Shows K. U. Trains in Many Ways
At the same time De Soto desired Mrs. Abelts to coach the annual school play. K. U. dramatics had given her training for this work, so Mr. and Mrs. Abels placed positions. While, Mr. Abels got acquainted with his new job, Mrs. Abels perished in dealing at De Soto and put on the school play, another good example of team work by graduates of K. U.

Dramatic Club to Give Three One-Act Plays In Bowersock Theatre
Student Enterprise Ticket Will Admit to Both Performances
The Dramatic Club is working on a series of three one-act plays, which are to be given at the Bowersock Theater May 3. Student enterprise tickets will admit to both evening and matinee performances.
The plays that are to be given are "Two Crooks and a Lady," by Eugene Pilot; "Pot Bothers," by Alice Gerris; "Who Pass While the Lentil's Birth."
Eugene Pillot's delightful play, "Two Croes and a Lady" has a plot centered around an invalid lady with a valuable string of pearls, and two croes, a man and a woman. The invalid can see only on in straight line directly in front of her. When the croes come to burglarize her house they do not find things as neat as they are. The complications they run up against, and the ending make a very entertaining play.
"Six Who Pass While with the Lentil Ball" is a short play with an unusual amount of action in it. A queen seeks refuge in a cottage where a small boy is boiling Lentils. Because the queen has left her behind she beheaded at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of that day. While she is hiding in the cottage, others pass, a milkmaid, a blind man, a headman, and a ballad singer. A large reward is offered for the queen, but the boy does not collect the reward could have killed him; he is safely hidden until she is out of danger.

In this article I examine the work of the review of the comparatively recent development of recognized political parties in the University, and their part in school affairs. Both sides of the situation are given and the addresses of such authors are carefully delimited.
Other features of merit in the April number are a description of the K. U. library now under construction, an explanation concerning the proposed Memorial Union building, and a write-up of the Jayhawk dinner held in New York City at the Aldine House. The essay itself is a poem, "A Toast to K. U." written by W. H. Clawson, fs02.

Great American Poet Will Recite Own Epic About Pioneer Lovers
John G. Nehardt, American epic poet, who will read his "Song of Three Friends" in Fraser chapel this evening at 8:20 on the auspices of Rhodamanth, honorary poetry society, has been pronounced by Henry B. Wheeler as comparable to Marseille, the English master of murray poetry.
Nehardt has pointed out that the great American epic was developed west of the Missouri River during the 19th century, beginning in 1822 and ending in 1890, and he regards the body of legend that grew up about the heroes of that time as “precious saga-stuff.”
It is about this time in American history that Neithard is writing an epic cycle. An historical prose epic, "The Splendid Wayfaring," presents the background of the cycle. Two poems of the cycle have been completed, "The Song of Three Friends," and "The Song of Hunters," and "The Ware," the third piece of the cycle, is not yet finished. Neithard has worked on it for three years and expects to take two or three years more to finish it.
Song of Three Friends" Deak In Historical Narratives of Early West
Mr. Neihardt will also speak a convocation tomorrow morning.
"The Song of Three Friends" was awarded the prize offered by the American Society of Poetry for the best poem of 1918, and "The Song has gone into schools, in a special edition, into the schools as a textbook.
"Neihardt has a wonderful personality and an excellent reading voice," says Daisy Marita Bishop, president of Radhanamthali. "The Song of Three Friends," which he is to read tonight, is a dramatic narrative dealing with the love of the child, Izaac Madden, Woven into the story is a thrilling escape from a forest fire, and a dramatic test of friendship is pictured."
Gas Companies to Court
The University of Kansas track队 was the big feature of its own affair, the Kansas Relays, Saturday afternoon, when it scored highest in the special events and in the relays themselves. The track, which had been water soaked Friday by the continuous rain, had been partly dried by the heavy wind and the morning's sun. But at that the track was heavy, and the time consequently slower than it otherwise would have been. A strong, cool wind also interfered some.
Several surprises were sprung in the Relays, most notable of which was the winning of the university medley relay by the Texas Longhorns over Pennsylvania. The Texans took the lead from the first in this event and held it throughout, though the Pennsylvania anchor made Leaf, Texas anchor, fight for his first place.
Commission Approves Five Cent Increase in Rates
Topeka, April 23.—Another gas controversy is to be threshed out in the United States court.
Distributing companies at Kansas City, Kan., Topeka, and Aitchison, have carried their cases to the federal district court as a result of dissatisfaction with the utilities commission, in the five cent increase controversy.
The Kansas Natural Gas Company which furnishes the gas distributed by the three local companies, has increased its pipe lines rates five per thousand cubic feet, and this increase has been approved by the commission.

The commission, however, has refused to allow the distributing companies to pass this increase on to the consumer.
The Kansas quarter-mile team tore the cover off and won the race in 43 seconds, but one-fifth of a second was taken by Fisher, Kansas anchor, took the stick from Woestemeyer, Noble of Nebraska apparently had a safe lead for the finish. But Fisher would, beaten by a beatable Noelle to the tan by inches.
Fisher again proved too much for Nebraska when he overcame the latter's lead in the half-mile and turned a second place into a first.
Butler College Shows Up
Butler College, of Indianapolis, a last-minute entry, was one of the surprises of the day. Butler came here little known and went back with two first, one in the mile, and one in the half-mile relays. The latter race was a fight from the start between Butter and College of Emporium, but the school was unable to overcome an early lead and finished in second.
Angier, holder of the American javelin record, threw the wad 103 feet, 5 inches, the farthest it has ever run in Valley. Angier's record is 202 feet.

Erwin and Riley, sprint and hurdle flashes from K. S. A. C., pounced their schools up well, Riley upsetting all hurdle dope by beating out Frazier of Baylor University, the national I.V. junior champion, in the low hurdles.
Meet Wins Praise from Coaches
The coaches and officials who attended the meet all pronounced this initial attempt of the Kansas Relays a success. Louis C. Medina, chairman of the meet and referee of the meet, said: "It was a very good meet, and a fine start for future events. The meet was excellently managed, which is shown by the fact that it closed within five minutes of scheduled time." Harry Gill, Illinois coach, had this to say: "Considering that it wished, the first annual Kansas relay I consider successful. Kansas has a very fine cinder track. Due to the heaviness of the track, caused by the rains, it is not surprising that no one broke the record." Inneranger, athletic director of Missouri University, was enthusiastic about the meet. "The Kansas relay has a wonderful start," he said. "It was a great thing for the valley to bring all these teams to Lawrence. "It was
