London, May 2.—The allied supreme council has agreed in principle on the terms of an ultimatum to be submitted to Germany, it was learned today at conclusion of the morning session.
military preparation for invasion of Ruhr will proceed in the meantime so there will be no delay in case Germany rejects the ultimatum. It was learned authoritatively that Premier Brieand agreed to an ultimatum to expire not later than 10 August, and would provide provisions for guaranteed payment of the German indemnity in penalty for non-observance of the ultimatum.
Paris, May 2.—France started military forces toward Germany to compel payment of that country's war debt
The allied representatives took only a brief recess, another session is called at 5 p.m. when it is believed the note will be completed.

Cavalry troops stationed at Lyon began the long hike. The 11th cavalry ploughed out of France. The cavalry expected to be a great expedition into the Ruhr valley.
Preparations were made for calling back the classes of 1919 as soon as word comes from the supreme council in London that a final agreement
Ten trai trains were held up in railway yards here for the transportation of additional troops. Premier Briand was reported to have obtained British sanction to quit action only after threatening to withdraw from the supreme council, return to Paris and resign his office.
Seniors to Follow Old Custom Tomorrow
WILL ELECT MAY QUEEN
Lloyd George was said to have yielded then, and to have approved the invasion if France would consent to the dispatching of a final ultima tum which would set forth the allies cause.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, MAY 2, 1927
The annual election of the May Queen will take place at a meeting of the senior class at 12:20 tomorrow. The Queen, as evermore popular, will be the senior class and will represent to the University the girl who, in the opinion of the graduating class, has the most qualifications of which a queen should be poised.
The election will be carried on by the method of direct nomination and deciding written ballots. In this way voters can vote for any candidate. This election of the May Queen follows out a custom long established as the University of having a popular senior girl to be the president; a figure of importance, which this year is to take place on May 14.
The inability of a local newspaper to deliver receipt books held up the first payments of the student pledges until noon today, Payments are now due and can be made at the Registrar's office at any time.
Receipt Books Hold Up Collection of Pledges
The students are expected to make good their obligation at once, in order that the actual work can be started on them. The Office expects a hundred per-cent response, and it is up to the students to set an exam for themselves, as they in old德里 more than their quotes in the Drive Campaign.
The newest development in musical fads is "jazz" canaries, according to the New York Sun. A Harlem family was one of these freaks which soorns its natural trills and imitates only the jazz bateries used at the club. It will not sing unless placed near the phonograph and then only after the "jazz" records are played.
Mrs. P. G. Wakeent of Salina spent Sunday with her daughter Juliett at the Alpha Delta PII house.
Names of New Sachems Are Not Yet Disclosed
Election of new members for Sachem, senior men's honorary society, has been held at the Sigma Nu house, but no definite statement has been made by the organization. The announcements are selected at the next weekly convocation.
The Final Decision
The candidates, according to the custom of the society, are chosen from the junior class. It is said that this number will be he largest in years.
Tomorrow afternoon the fate of another school custom will be decided when the University Senate passes upon the advisability of exempting seniors from final examinations. The students of the University have asked that such exemption be granted. The senior class has petitioned the Senate for the same. Student opinion is for senior exemption.
The arguments which the students offer in asking for senior exemption are clearcut. In the first place, such exemption is a means of recognition for the deserving students of the Uni university. No other means has been provided for such recognition. Missouri and some other universities have a plan whereby those who make higher marks do not have to earn as many credits for graduation. On the other hand, students with lower marks are required to have more hours credit. This is recognition of the deserving seniors. Exemption from final examinations is merely another form $ ^{o} $ recognition.
In the second place, destination between senior exemption and general exemption is not made by most instructors. Senior exemption is a privilege which each student will have when he has passed through three years of college work, and is a slight means of recognizing superior ability and effort during that time.
In view of the new ruling that 90 per cent of the student's work must be of A, B and C quality, senior exemption would mean less work for the University registrar. Senior records could be completed sooner, and deserving students should not have the uncertainty of graduation hanging over them, since all returns from the final examinations must be turned in before the registra user's records can be completed.
Finally, senior exemption would elevate the standard of scholarship among University students. Seniors will desire to be exempted and will show more interest and effort in gaining such exemption. In asking for exemption from finals, seniors are not attempting to slight their final school work. They are merely asking that a school custom and a deserving recognition of student ability be maintained.
