FRANCO-BRITISH NOTE REITERATES POSITION
Allied Powers Insist on Their Settlement of Adriatic Disputes
American Message and Lansing Incident Interest States-
Pres. Wilson So Advised
Paris, Feb. 16—The Franco-British reply to President Wilson's message threatening American withdrawal from European affairs if the Allies persist in their proposed settlement in Adriatic disputes without the American consent, declares Great Britain and France are obliged to carry out the terms of the ultimatum submitted to Jugo-Slovakian, and that country must accept the resolution offered by the French or they will support Italy in carrying out the pact of London, the note said.
The Allied reply denied President Wilson's accusations against Italy, pointing out Italy's interest in the war and her sacrifices in wealth and lives.
From other sources it was learned that Premier Lloyd George is unchanged in his determination to carry out the ultimatum of January 20.
Coming on the heels of the President's dismissal of Secretary Lansing, the rep. of Wilson's note created a sens in political circles
Practically e entire press regard ed the Lans episodes as the "dis missal of the secretary, and unjusti flaible."
Premier Millerand in an inter-view admitted that President Wilson's in intervention on the Adriatic question again delayed the solution.
"A reply which we have drawn up will be submitted to the ambassador in London and Paris, Premier Miller-and said. "While it is necessary to maintain secrecy of a content of this document until you are satisfied that he may be said that further deli- erate a solution is reached is not a table."

Wilson is Substantia. right of Adriatic Situation London Times Comments
London, Feb. 16—"President Wilson is substantially right," the Times says today in commenting on Wilson's note on the Adriatic situation. "It amounts practically to a notice to the council of premiers of American withdrawal from European affairs if the Washington government is not consulted in settlement of the Adriatic dispute.
"We are persuaded that in the highest interest of Europe, of the United States, and of humanity at large, continued co-operation on the part of America is desirable. We believe that our statement will give the President's information the ripest and most generous consideration."
The Allies should pause and reflect before they put themselves in a position which will lead the President of the United States to conclude that their adoption of his principles at the time of the Armistice was a mere blast of predatory ambition," the Times continued.
The Star believes "Wilson is right and if the British government has one ounce of wisdom in its mental outfit it will back him up."

President Note Places Wilson on Jugg
Slov's Side of Fiume Question
Washington, Feb. 16—President Wilson in a note to the British and French foreign officers has reiterated his original stand on the Adriatic question. It is understood the note informs them that if they held to the resolution, which outlines our quarrels with the Jolo Slaves the United States will withdraw its approval.
No reply to the note has been received here. The present note places the president on the side of the Juro Slava. President Wilson's original stand on the Flame question was that usted cities should be Jugo-Slovakia.
The Italians bitterly opposed this on the ground that most of the population was Italian. Later President Wilson altered his position and agreed to establish Fiume as an independent state for a period of years at the end of which a plebiscite should be held. With the Fiume still wide open and the United States brought back into the quarrel the greatest pessimism

This falls far short of the mode—in America, at least. Women of the Osage Tribe tried it centuries ago.

The custom is fully described in a Smithsonian article titled "The O-k'o" or the "Rite Belonging to the Chiefs." Chief Wax-xhil-zhi explained the customer to Expert La Fliesche.
CAMPUS CARPENTERS ASK FOR WAGE HIKF
Union Sends Letter to Board of Administration Asking More Wages
Unionism has at last made itseven known on the campus, according to a letter sent to the State Board of Administration by the Lawrence Carpenter's Union, the carpenters employed by the University of Kansas are underpaid. The wage scale of the Lawrence union is seventy-five cents an hour as city workers workmen fall below that scale. At a recent meeting of the local union the matter was taken, up and discussed and at first it was proposed that the University carpenters be dropped from the union. This proposal was rejected and it was decided to take steps to bring the wages up to the local scale. The carpenters assert that they are consistent in asking for an increase because they have increased salaries for the professors. They report that they will take the matter up with the State Industrial Board if they do not get satisfaction from the letter sent to the State Board of Administration. They state that they hope that this will not be necessary, however. The scale of the University worker is fifty-two cents an hour as city workers workmen fall below that scale of seventy-two cents and the Kansas City Scale of one dollar, is very low.
The letter to the State Board of Administration by Secretary F. J. Dunn of the local union is as follows: "To the President, 'As it fair to this community to keep

"We deem it wise and fitting that we should call your attention to this state of affairs and further wish tostate this action is being taken without the knowledge of the superintendents on workmen of the University.
"Trusting that you will give this matter prompt attention so it will not be necessary to take this up with the industrial board, we thank you."
"If the wage here was placed at an average we could answer communications from people wishing to come to them to earn a living and educate their children in a manner that would not drive them from the state.

EIGHTY-SIX FLUNKED IN MORE THAN 5 HRS
Too Much Activity is Partly to Blame Says Patterson
Interference of outside work with studies, neglect of work, difficult work, and three special causes such
as late enrollment, volunteer mining and illness were the chief cause of eighty- six students in the College failing in more than one-third of the work they were enrolled in, according to D. Latterson, assistant dean of D. College.
"These eighty-six students have been placed on probation, which means that technically they sever their contract with the university, but they fore on enrollment day if they desired
to reenter it was necessary that they be reinstated," and Professor Patterson. "Students are only reinstated when they have been better work." This presentation begins.
an eight weeks trial, at the end of which time, if they are below passing in any course they will be asked to leave the University."
Seventy two of the probationers were men students and only fourteen of the number were women. Classified as to classes the majority were freshmen or first year students num- bered at least eight, the sophomore probationers numbered five, and the juniors and specials followed with one probationer each.
"Whether too much social life was the cause of the failures could not be determined as the students would not give that as the cause, said Prof. Paterson. "Only one student admitted that she frequented the movies during the week beside Friday and Saturday night."
"The ework of each probationer will be watched carefully and at the one of each week the teachers will hand in them." In some instances students failed in thirteen out of fifteen hours of their work. The main cause for those was that with the usual amount of school they were doing heavy outside work."

Teachers Afraid Of Canine Rivalry
Latest reports on enrollment show that eighteen dogs have recently enrolled at Kansas University. So far however, none have applied for admission to the Normal. Statistics have not yet been received because diacentes are that K. U. is in the lead. For centuries men have founded schools to train the coming generation. These schools have been advancing rapidly in the extension and training of their curriculums. But to learn about the changing has been extended to animals may seem as tounding to many of us.
The following is clipped from the State Normal Bulletin, published at Emporia;
Almost every one is familiar with the marvelous intelligence of the dog, and probably knows of one or two dogs of his own acquaintance, whose intelligence he would vouch for. Just think of the smartest dog you ever knew and then think what a wonderful thing it would have been if that dog had the advantage of going to K. U!. When the thing it would be like to the canine tribe if dogs could go to any school in the country!
The fact that dogs have started to K. U. you no doubt have a startling effect. Other universities and schools will, no doubt, follow the example of our University. If this should happen just think of the advance this country will have made. Even without schooling the dogs are capable of giving man many lessons. How many people would be benefitted if they only had the bull-dogs and stick-to-tiveness of the bull-dogs? And divorce lawyers would be out of a job, if women had enduring affection for their husbands such as the mastiff has for his master? How much cleaner would our alley be if people had a sense of smell such as has the birddog has?
Plain Tales From The Hill
The re-making of some of the buildings on the Hill is being contemplated It has been suggested that the east wing of Ad be called "East Wing", the west wing "Ad House", and the center wing "Holler Hill."
A man called up the Kappa House the other day and said, "Is Mary Samson there or has she a study this hour?"
The freshman who answered the phone said, "Steady, did you say—why."
"No, study," replied the man, "I know she has a steady."
Fergie (as he drops his watch)
"Oh, I bag your pardon."
A professor on the Hill who has been warned newspaper students not to quote him said, "I think now that I heard those Kansan reporters scared out."
Now that the freshmen are all being initiated they refuse to admit that it is not spring but come on the Hill with coats pushed back so that the jeweled pins may be seen to the best advantage.
It is reported that many engagements are being broken since there is nothing for those concerned to do now. I will try to get acquainted with each other.
It has been said that in one university the students supply the fire and the faculty the cold water and between the two they are able to work up steam. On the Hill we seem to think that you can just find a little fire we can work up some steam for ——schape the Loyalty Movement.
In Commercial Geography class Professor Newman had called in vain on about half a dozen men in the class to answer the question. Finally he said, "Well, we'll start on the women now and see what they know." Then he continued "Mr. Coors, can you answer the question?"
"Roses are no longer being sent for valentines" complained a sender, on the Hill, "because it takes all the flowers that can be supplied by the forlists for those who have the fur." She hesitated a moment and then added, "But chocolate are still available."
