UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 4. 1920.
Allies Have Other Means
Personal
French Foreign Officer Believe Baron's Action to be Purely Personnel
Paris, Feb. 4- B- on von Lerner,
head of the German delegation, here-
refused to day to transmit to Berlin
the allied list of persons guilty of
war crimes, and the accompanying
note. He returned the list and note
to the French foreign office and not-
fitted the office of his resignation.
Baron von Lerner, in his note to the foreign office, declared it was utterly impossible either for himself or members of his delegation to assume the responsibility for transmitting the list of war guilt. He announced the intention of the entire delegation to return to Berlin his evening. This will leave Germany without any representation at Paris.
Following von Lerner's action, the French foreign office gave out a statement in which it is declared that von Lerner's move is believed to be purely a personal matter, and that it was not the result of instructions.
Following the receipt of Von Lerner's note, the council of ambassadors was hurriedly summoned for conference.

Wooley Headed Fijis Men of Education
Civilization and education in the Fiji Island have never been thought of as a factor in the Filipino existence. The word Filipino has always brought up fanfies of woody headed people, grass clothes, food, and children. Truth is that 11 million Filipinos and their ancestors have been civilized for 300 years.
Another fancy is that not until the coming of the Americans were school buildings seen in the islands, roads built, or substantial houses erected. This fancy has faded out with the fact that many people have had colleges. The University of Santo Tomas is twenty-five years older than Harvard.

Program Open 'to Public
General Convocation Will Not Be Called Chancellors' Office Announces
Governor Henry J. Allen will talk on his Industrial Courts Bill in Fraser Chapel Friday morning at the public. The meeting is open to the public.
"The original plan was for the Governor to address a joint meeting of Merchants' Short Course and students Thursday afternoon with a telegram message. Mr. Allen said saying that Governor Allen would be unable to come until Friday."
This will be the first opportunity that Lawrence will have had to hear Governor Allen personally defend and explain his industrial courts bill which has caused nation wide discussion and which has been strongly criticized by organized labor and many capitalists.
Chancellor Strong decided it would not be advisable to dismiss classes for the meeting since it would break into two class periods. However, an effort will be made to get Governor Allen to give students more students. Nevertheless, students who do not have classes at that time may hear Governor Allen's talk.
The court which went into operation February 2, has been having secret hearings and has one case filed with it in regard to a Kansas mine.

"The mail order houses are no an economic form of distribution. They are obtaining more business all the time, as the demand for time-travel advertising," asserted Mr. DeWild. "One large house sent out eight million catalogs this year and another has spent over thirty million dollars for advertising. To combat this, the retailers must employ salespeople who know how to have greater advantages. For instance, he can improve his sales by improving the appearance of his store, his goods, and even his own person. However, the merchants must have a wide variety of space, and numerous circulars, letters and booklets. The fight against mail order houses must be a continuous one."
