Allies Demand 187 Germans
Washington, Feb. 10—President Wilson has received a cable from the former Crown Prince of Germany of himself rising to the allies for trial in place of the 187 Germans demanded.
Text of Message Implies Sug gestion is made to Prevent Hatred
Following is a text of the message: "Mr President: The demand for the delivery of Germans in every walk of life has again confronted my country. Sorely tried by four years of war and of years of sequestration, the crisis without a precedent in the history of the world this is affecting the lives of the people. That a government can be found in Germany which would carry out the demanded surrender is out of the question. The consequences to Europe of an enforcement of the demand by violence are incalculable. German as the former successor to the throne of my fatherland I am willing at this fatal hour to stand up for my compatriots."
The cable was dispatched from Weringen, Holland, where Frederick William is exiled.

SIMS RAPS DANIELS' 'DEFEATIST' POLICY
Admiral Testifies Attitude Threatened to Impair Fight- ing Spirit
Washington, Feb. 10—Admiral Will Sims today accused Secretary Daniels of pursuing the defeatist party policy. This policy Sims declared is more detrimental to the fighting spirit of the nation than to the organization of Bolshevism is to organized government. Sims who resumed his testimony before the senate naval affairs sub-committee for investigating awards, declared that he was willing to make any personal sacrifice to preempt the defeat of a permanent hold on the navy.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, Congressman Brynes and Whalley of South Carolina, all democrats were asked to testify regarding state laws that limit immigrants with having made to them while they were visiting Europe during the war.
Sims today promptly denied the tatement that was attributed to him y Bryens in a recent speech in the fouse.
Brynes in his speech, quoted Sims she having declared that the Armistice ad to be signed because Pershing's upplies failed and that Great Britain arrived two-thirds of the American troops to France and that United Kingdom would have been a world wide merchant marine and leave the seas to Great Britain."
Senator Pittman, democrat requested that the congressmen be called to state their recollection of what Sims said
“These congressmen in their trip through Europe have gotten things mixed up.” Sjms said denying Brynse' charge.
"Headlines that we are doing the whole thing made difficult our relation with the Allies," Sims said. "I was trying to put them straight."
His statement that the British carried two thirds of the American troops to France was intended to apply only to the first of the war during the early rush of troop shipments, Sims said. His relations with Peraching, Sims says were so cordial that "The barely stopped men of an ex-Jewish army in Normandy" he told Brynes and other congressmen visiting the war zone what the criticisms were and cautioned them against believing the charges.
Let us hope that by now the French bride has discovered that the foundations of America are not really the shimmy, the bargain and the cheap, but two-inch deep apple pie and the alarm clock set for six-forty-five. Hear Sector.

RAILWAY MEN FEAR KANSAS STRIKE LAW
iReport That Law Will be Used to Prosecute Brotherhood Members
Send Men to Investigate
Officials Regard the Situation Brought on by Strike as Most Serious
Detroit, Feb. 10-Special representatives today were sent to Kansas by the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way and Railroad Shop Men to investigate the Kansas Industrials Department. C. Trask, assistant grand president.
"We don't know just what is the situation in Kansas" Trask said. "We are sending special representatives and until we hear from them we can make no definite announcement regarding the test of the law. The brotherhood stands for law and order. We want to obey the law."
According to dispatches from Kansas, the law will be used to prosecutor members of the brotherhood if the strike in Kansas, February 17, as planned for by national walkout is called.
Topeka, Feb. 10—"The Kansas law will be enforced" said Gov. Henry J. Allen when asked what would be expected if railroad workers went out on a strike February 17, as has been threatened.
The anti-strike law will not be violated under the shield of interstate commerce any more than the old prohibition law of Kansas could have been violated when Kansas was dry and other surrounding states had no anti-liquor law. He also intimated that there would be proceedings against labor union leaders in other states. If the leaders be brought within the jurisdiction of Kansas they will be liable to prosecution on the felony charge.
Washington, Feb. 9-White House officials regarded as most serious the situation precipitated by the order for 300,000 Maintenance of Way and Shop laborers to strike, if their demands for wage increases are not granted by the railroad administration.
Secretary Tatumity conferred today with President Wilson on the forthcoming action. The president's advisers have been in close touch with his defense officers, one of them holding a long conference with him last night.
"Should be Inspection of Cafes," Says Dr. Bacor
Washington, Feb. 10—The Union heads were still at work on a communication which they are to lay below Hines on the ground; it is in progress an ultimatum.
"There should be a sanitary inspection and general clean-up made of all cafees," said Dr. Martha M. Bacon, head of the department of physical education at Temple University. "In many instances the men who deliver bread from the bakeries bring it into eating places unwrapped, which is certainly not in the least disturbing. You have to eat all of the patrons of these restaurants. I am a member of the health committee and am anxious that everything possible be done to keep up the health of the university students and faculty members of the officers in checking the flu epidemic."
Just before the conference was to open they asked for a postponement. Lee and other union officials refused to divulge the nature of the proposed ultimatum but Lee said "I will not sign it."

Dozens of Students are Enrolling Every Day
On account of sickness there are a great many late enrollments, dozens of students enrolling every day this week for the new semester, is the report coming from school that is able to make any estimates of how many there really are, for their names are coming in with those who are making changes
in their courses," said the registrar. It is probable that this late enroll date will be a good regia taur's office so that grades will be later than usual in getting out.

EDDY WILL DISCUSS CONDITIONS OF WORLD
He Has Toured the World Since Signing of the Armistice
National Y Man
Mr. Eddy Has Wide Reputation as Forceful and Convincing
Speaker
"The need for American intervention in the countries of the near east" will be the subject of Sherwool Eddy's book, *The Great War and 4 clock* in Robinson Gymnasium.
Since the signing of the armistice fifteen months ago, Mr. Eddy has made a tour of the world to study conditions caused by the World War.
"Asia was particularly stressed in the tour," according to "Con" Hoffmann, Secretary of the K.U. Y. M.C.A., "Consequently Mr. Eddy is considered well fitted to discuss the visibility of a United States mandate over the smaller countries of the Near East—notably Armenia."
"Mr. Eddy was the chief, and, acording to almost everyone who attended, the best speaker at both the Detroit and the Des Moines conferences recently," contended Mr. Howell. "He always pays his own expenses on his trips. Consequently, he can investigate conditions where he may be with more thoroughness than most travelers. He has studied Asiatic university and student life, and will most likely include that in his speech Sunday."
"Mr. Eddy is a powerful speaker and one who has had remarkable opportunity to observe the present world movements," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "Few men in our country can speak with such knowledge and authority. From such view, students should bear him."
All Lawrence churches have agreed to dispense with their Sunday evenings in services in order to augment the attendance. Special music will be given.
Old Man Jinx Is
Concert Patron
The jinx is against them all. At least that is the way it seems to be with the concertes that have been held in the gym so far this season. Something invariably happens that is not on the program, at least we give
not on the program, at least we give them credit for not putting them on the list.
Flonzaley with his quartet of millionaire string artists played to a full house but owing to some misunderstanding or either due to the fact that the audience was not up on it and he did not know what to bring, not know when the concert was over.
And again when Reed Miller was in the midst of a solo during Thursday night's program a dog with his unicornly howl disturbed the audience. Such side attractions are becoming more common, and before long the audiences will probably miss the comedy if it is left out of the program.
Percy Grainger, another celebrated artist, had to "get out and get under" with a hatchet and saw to get the piano in a talking mood.

The health commissioner of New York City, Dr. Royal S. Copeland, says: "If every school teacher in the city were taken ill I would hire entertainers to keep the public schools open.
