The visit of Mr. Hirst to the University was arranged by Thornton Cook, of Kansas City, president of the Columbia National Bank, who is an alumnus of the University and one co-sponsor of the campaign. In a letter to Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Mr. Cook says, "Lord James Bryce has toldMr. Hirst that he must not fail to see the University of Kansas while he is in this country, and he therefore asked and obtained an introduction 5 you."

IRISH FAVOR THE TREATY
ee For to One Against, Say Reports
Jublin, dec. 9. — A majority of the Irish people rally to the support of the four cabinet members for acceptance of the peace treaty between Ireland and Poland. President Davies and Valera are both cabinet ministers oppose it.
It is considered likely the Dali will ratify by a narrow margin. It has been called to meet Wednesday.
The press in Ireland is unanimaly in favor of the pact. Unbiased authorities who should know the real feeling of the people informed the United Press there are three persons in Ireland who would vote in favor of the treaty to every one against it.
Approval of the treaty is believed to have marrowed down to the task of whether Eamonn DeValera, or Mr. McGregor, who signed the agreement, have the greatest "backing." Following the statement of DeValera that he would decline to recommend acceptance of the agreement to the Dail, Collins, said.
d fight for the treaty in the be that "the conflict of centuries is nearing an end."
There was some speculation as to whether the DeValera statement meant that he would seek a plebiscite on the issue, or whether he referred to the Dail, when he said the vast majority of the Irish people was opposed to the settlement. It was presumed he would not accept the plebiscite although the possibility is admitted.

SORELY TRIED EUROPE NEEDS COLLEGE MEN
Resources Untold. But Leadership Needed to Restore Comforts of Life
U. S. DOLLAR WORTH MUCH
Exchange Rate Swells Value-
Chinese Students Endorse
Relief Plan
The principal scholar for
K. U.'s Christmas gift fund for Stu-
dium in Europe will be Russia in
Czechchoslovakia, Hungary, Austria
and Belgium.
"Europe's crying need," said Seth Higgins, chairman of the friendship fund committee, "is for college trained men. Russia, which is still admittedly a half-barbarian state, has劫储 energy, but lacks leadership to make her a top-notch in the rank of nations."
"Only by reestablishing the European Universities," continued Hirsch. "can this situation be relieved. Universities cannot oversee without students, and the students cannot attend schools unless they receive aid."
Foreign exchange is so shattered that an income of $8,000, which formerly would have provided a college education for the children of a family amounts to only eightteen cents. An American dollar thus assumes an enormous value. Herbert Hoover and his secretary say that no bigger results can be gained from any other investment than from money invested in Student Relief.
In one university there are 1,500 students without rooms. They sleep on benches in the parks and in the railroad stations. One hundred and a thousand have an income half enough for bare living expenses.
Last year's K. U., Christmas gift went to China, but according to Harry Lie, a Chinese student on the Hill, it is the desire of the students from his country that this year's fund go to the relief of the European students. "We want to give to the fund, too," he said.

SOUTH HUNTS FOR ITS GREAT BANDIT TODAY
Tom Slaughter, Noted Bank Robber, Escaped from Arkansas Penitentiary
MOST DARING ESCAPE YET
Locked Four Guards Wife and Daught ing With Six Pri
Hundreds of other searchers warmed the woods where an automobile containing five men had penetrated the officers' line.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 7 — The southwest's greatest band is here on today. Scores of possues a armed mob took it out in notorious and slippery bands the southwest, who escaped from the pentagonian here early today after alarming guards locked the war-affiliated battalion and liberated six other prisoners.
At Hot Springs, every hamlet was being combed.
Bullets from the possess' runs sult-
tered the sides of the car, but it was
not believed any of the bandits were
bit.
"Tom Slaughter is out again" was the word that spread through the southwest and officers in Kansas, Oklahoma. Arkansas and Texas mobilized to catch the men credited with murders 15 different cities of the southwest.
Feeding illness during the night,
Slaaughter summoned a guard and
nicked for a blanket. The curd ad-
dress to the bed, was held up, disarmed,
and handed away to the way to the warder's office where he covered three guards and forced them to lay on the floor while he dismired them. Next he went to the hospital
to take him to the wife and daughter of the warden and locked them in.
Next he opened the doors of the cells. Six prisoners went with him. Among those who refused were six under death sentence. Slaughter then locked the doors on the convicts.
Proceeding to the jail yard he took the tires from the jail yard cars, excepting his own, then went to the store house and he and his six companions outfitted themselves in civilian clothes. Swinging open the great hooks, they made their escape at 2:30, five hours after his escape from his cell.
No one was injured in the spectacular escape. Slaughter was under contest of death for the alleged murderer, at the prison farm last summer.
Slaughter is charged with bank robberies in at least 15 cities in the southwest. He robbed banks in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Oklahoma. He escaped from petitions in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas.
SLAUGHTER STILL AT LARGE
Hundreds of Armed Men With Blood-
hounds Pursue Bandit.
Benton, Ark, Dec. 9—O Tom Slaughter, southern desperado, and his five companions, four of them condemned murderers, who escaped from the Little Rock penitentiary, were still free in prison, according to reports reaching here.
Pursuing poses totalling hundreds of armed men were widely scattered over the territory between Benton and Hot Springs and only the most fragmentary information was received from them.
A courier who left here with ammunition and blood hounds had not returned yet. He was expected to bring definite information back from the "front." Every precaution was being taken by the pursuers as a fight to death was expected if Slaughter and his band is cornered. The theory was advanced here that some of the old Slaughter bag of Olakhome might be waiting in the Ozark Mountains for Slaughter.
This theory arose from the fact that the break for liberty was evidently long planned and that outside aid was given the bandits. A prisoner named William was amugraded a gun to Slaughter, is known, officialisons said today.
