Delegations of K, U, Grads Will Come From All Big Kansas Towns
TO SEE STADIUM DAY FUN
Delegates to be Entertained at:
Dinner After the Conference
A conference of K. U, alumni from twenty of the largest towns in Kansas and surrounding states will be held here at a college campus to discuss plans according to Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association. The purpose of the conference is to make plans for the succession of the Stadium-bomb campaign.
The delegations from the various towns will arrive in time to participate in the celebration of the day. According to the plan, we see the students in action, and the students will then have a chance, during the next few weeks, to see the alumni put the finishing touches on their speech, which is also well advanced.
Mr. Hill pointed out the, in calling this conference, the object was not to secure numbers, but rather to get a small body of men who are ready to put forth every effort to carry the drive over its million dollar peak. About thirty or forty women expected to attend the conference, the delegations will be entertained at a dinner, for which plans are well under way.
"The important purpose in the alumni conference," explained Mr. Hill, "is to grouse other communities so as to carry the drive to a successful finish. The visitors will watch the celebration, and then meet together, and discuss the campaigns in their towns."
Chancellor Lindley will speak to the alumni at the meeting, and talks will be made by a number of the visitors. An open discussion of the methods to be employed in the campaign throughout Kansas and the border states will be presented after the speech. The Thornton Cooke, chairman of the drive in Kansas City, will also be chairman at the conference here.
Wichita will send alumni, but the names of those in the delegation have not been definitely announced. Henry Schott of Chicago is expected, but it is not certain that he will be able to be in Lawrence at that time.
The largest delegation will come from Kansas City, and J. C. Nichols, one of the leaders in the Kansas City campaign, will be among the occasion of the celebration. The Kansas City team will send the largest delegation, and W. L. Gardner, president of the K. U. Club of that place will be present. The list includes from Topkea will include Clyde Miller, Senator Hugh Fisher, and F. C.

British Plebiscite Commissioner Forced to Hand in Resignation

Berlin, May 5. - Organized Polish forces have seized large areas in upper Silesia, killed a number of British and Italian soldiers, and forced resignation of the British Polish commanders, according to advises today.
The commissioner in resigning' declared the allied troops were not numerous enough to withstand the Poles and protect German residents.
Press dispatches today indicated the situation was quieter, with the Poles in possession of the region they have seized.
The Polish force was estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 well armed and equipped with light artillery. The small Italian contingent was also have suffered numerous casualties and the British sustained a few

'CHANGE TOTALS 262 MILLION
U. S. Pocket Money is $2.43 Per

Washington, May 5—"Small chance" in use in the United States now amounts to $222,607,806, according to an official statement. The Treasury department or 43 of them represent the total of all the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars which are being carried around in pocketbook, in breech pocket and which are kept on hand by stores and banks to make
The treasury statement supplies the answer to he off repeated speculative question as to how much one's fortune would be were he suddenly to become possessed of all the coins in the country under the value of one dollar. Exclusive of $78,000,000 worth of dollars in circulation, which are not included in the entire banknote total, the nation's entire stack of silver and copper coins could be packed in a box 20 inches wide and 60 feet square and delivered in your front yard any fine morning, along with the morning paper and the bottle of milk.
The small change total is a comparatively insignificant sum if there is taken into consideration the entire amount of money in circulation in the United States. This totals $4,600,899 of which $4,763,479 is token money. Token money is gold and silver issued through the Federal Reserve Bank system and by the National Banks, all of which are promises to pay issued by the agencies named. Were all the holders of these promises to request immediate the Government and bank tellers probably would have to suspend all other business for a month to count the bills
Taken, by volume, however, all the money in the United States makes a rather significant showing. It could all he gathered together in an ordinary office of 200 rooms or so. Any building of six stories with a five foot frontage and about the same depth would store all the token money, while four men, one at each corner, could easily guard it.

GERMANY DISCUSSES
ALLIED ULTIMATUM
Von Simonds Immediately Called Meeting of Foreign Committee
United States Was Asked to Be on Reparations Committee
ALLIES FEEL CONFIDENT
Berlin, May 5—Bulletin. The allied replication ultimatum was received today. Foreign Minister Von Simonda immediately took the note before the foreign committee of the Reichstag. He informed the members of the allied demands and they at once began discussing them,
The allies will proceed on May 12 to occupy the Rhr valley and to take other military and naval steps if necessary. The Germans will sally, according to the ultimatum.
London, May 5.—The allies today served Germany with an ultimatum demanding their acceptance of repatriation terms by May 12.
The note which was sent to the German ambassador stated that the allies will proceed immediately with military forces for occupation of the country.
Occupation of German territory will continue as long as Germany refuses to fulfill the conditions laid down by the allies.
It was stated authoritatively that the council had sent a note to Washington inviting the United States to participate in the war effort of international organization commission.
The ultimatum demands 6,750,000,000 pounds from Germany in payment of the world war.
There appeared to be a strong belief that Germany will accept the allied demand without further quibbling. The resignation of the German cabinet was another sign that a government will end the long dis-
"Germany will realize at last that the hour has come when she must carry out her obligation," Premier Brandebild declared before his departure.
"I am leaving with a feeling of complete satisfaction," Briand said. We have reached the end of our abors under most favorable conditions. I believe prospective on Germany will produce profitable results."

Is First Women's Intercollegiate Debate Team for University
The exact date for the Women's Intercollegiate Debate between Manhattan and the University of Kansas has not been definitely settled but it is now expected to take place Saturday, May 7 at 7:45 o'clock in the Little Theatre, according to Prof. H. A. Shim, deacon coach.
"This is the first time that the University of Kansas has had a women's intercollegiate debate team," said Professor Shinn, which Manhattan has had one for several years. Manhattan also has some very strong literary societies in which she and her team rank high in cultural contests. This means that the debate next Saturday night will be a real fight. Although the K. U. team has no experience in intercollegiate debating, they have been working very hard on it and if hard enough, there will be up for actual experience, we expect to give Manhattan a good hard contest."

Lindley and Others Emphasize Need of Prompt Payments of Pledges
"ALL SET" FOR BARBECUE

Tuesday to be Prime Historical Day in All-University Activities
"This is the first Stadium Day this Spring."
Doctor Allen responded. He introduced George Nettle, Captain of last year's football team; Peter Jones, captain of this year's football team; Ernst Urlaub, captain of last year's basketball team; George Rody, captain of this year's basketball team; and Everett Bradley, America's premier athlete, and Edwin Sandeuf, star of the Pennsylvania Relay Games.
with those words, Chancellor Lindley opened one of the liveliest of convocations, this morning. "The next one will be next Tuesday; we will it mark the date for an annual Stadium Day. I now wish to introduce the men whose spirit and service have made this day possible."
"Several thousand persons have made this possible," said Lindley, "but there is one man who has worked unceasingly. Whenever my telephone rings at night I think of Baugartner and I have been教授 W. J. Baugartner, chairman of the Executive Committee, "When we first started this campaign," said Professor Baugartner, "we met with many difficulties and much adverse comment. The $200,000 pledged by the faculty and student body, alone, for our advice and comment. Lawrence did her share when she pleaded $150,000. It was such a spirit backed by the hancellor, that stirred the Kansas City Alumni to put their drive over 'big.' For the success of this first step I congratulate you," said Professor Baugartner, "and I join me in marching up to the Registrar's window and deposit something on that subscription."
Clara Nigg, who spoke next, told of the Women's part in the Stadium Day work; the feeding of 4,000 people. "Mess-Sergent is a bigger job than Commander-in-Chief." Twenty-five fair 'engineers' each with a squad of fifteen helpers will prepare sandwich bags and tie up things with 'Sandy' the barbecued meat will satisfy the hunter of the multitude.
Henry-MeCurdy next spoke of the old "latch key" type of hospitality which the Stadium-Union will make possible for K. U. to offer. He prophesied that this university would become the athletic center of the West.
"Scoop" Alfred G. Hill, said: "There are 7,000 graduates of our university and their degrees are a measure of the present value of K. U. This is a history-making student body, and our scholarship has steadily grown. The sixty-seven organized county clubs has been a potent factor in promoting K. U.
"Safety First" was the brief advice offered by Professor C. W. Collins, who outlined the men's part of the work for Tuesday morning. He exerted himself to keep a high level of likelihood with so many workers present, if care were not exercised.
"Phog" Allen, is the man who put the 'stay' in Stadium and the "U" in Union," said Chancellor Lindley in introduction him. Coach Allen offered advice and encouragement to the athletic events soon. You may have broken a long losing streak with Miss Liberty to take my hat off to Captain Murphy. Let us not say 'didn't I do fine yesterday,' but rather, 'I must do better today.'
In the final speech Chancellor Lindley said:
"We cannot build a Stadium without money and we cannot lose time in the construction of the Stadium, K. U. has not attained the distinction of Yale and Harvard because it's graduates have not begun to sacrifice as graduates of those fine old schools are expected to do. Now is not the time to falter, for every time you get a great enterprise almost to the top of the hill it is human nature that looks into the mirror of satisfaction and say, "I'm not stuff!" that it is the most pervious moment. We cannot slow up. Tuesday when keen men have come to us for inspiration and impetus. Everything is at stake."
