ENGLAND WILL DRAFT
Policy of Compulsory Enlistment Is Determined Upon By Asquith
ACTION IS LAST RESORT
Premier Says Country Must Have More Men at Once
LONDON, May 2—Premier Asquith this afternoon announced that the Government has decided upon a policy of immediate and general compulsory enlistment in England. The announcement was, made in the House of Commons.
The Premier's announcement came as a complete surprise. It had been understood that the prime minister would give the voluntary system of obtaining recruits for the army a few weeks more trial before asking the enactment to recruit married men eligible for service as well as single men included in the conscription measure which recently passed Parliament.
Earlier in the controversy leading up to the cabinet crisis over the demand for general military service, labor organizations and labor members of Parliament took a vigorous stand against the drafting of married men. It was generally understood at that time that Arthur Henderson, labor member of the cabinet, and two under-secretaries sign immediately before the cabinet decided to implement compulsory conscription. Asquith held several conferences with radical labor leaders to whom he is said to have offered proof that more men were imperatively supported by England at once.
The government will introduce bill for general conscription.
Labor Troubles Break Out at Steel Mills
RIOTING AT PITTSBURG

Fiske Attacks Daniels
PITTSBURG, May 2.—Following serious riots, in which three were killed and at least forty injured many seriously, as the Edgar Thompson Steel Company's plant at Bradock, Sheriff Richards announced this afternoon that the militia would be ordered at once. He made that statement after a hurried conference with state officials.
CHICAGO, May 2—The last plea to save former senator Wm. Lorimer in his trial as an alleged bank wrecker was made by counsel for the defense today. The state then began closing arguments.
Washington, May 2—The veracity of Secretary Daniels was attacked today in a letter sent to the Senate by Admiral Fiske. A ruling by Vice-President Marshall suppressed the report for a time, but Senator Lodge, who also had been given a copy made known the gist of the contents.
WASHINGTON, May 2. The House this afternoon passed the agricultural appropriation bill carrying a total of $24,500,000.
COLUMBIA, MO., May 2-The probability that the Missouri State University, owing to shortages in the Major Administration treasury, would not be re-opened next September was suggested in Columbia this afternoon after the final meeting of the board of curators this morning.
Urges a Placement Bureau
Press a凳凳 button.
With assistance, carefully, of a Placement Bureau at the University of Washington comes the query, "How much does our University help in securing positions for its graduates and former students?" The School of Education places many of its students in undergraduate programs in an effort on the part of the University to aid both its graduates and former students, such as we find in most of our large universities. These universities do not consider their duty ended with graduation, but that it exceeds what they do because Kansas fall behind these others in regard to this spirit and not get busy and establish a similar bureau?
A small boy delivers clothes for a private laundry in Lawrence has developed the art of hauling a wagon containing a basket full of clean clothes behind a bicycle, until he has become very proficient at it. He can haul a much greater load than he could carry, and does it very quickly.
K. U. AND NEBRASKA
TO CROSS RACQUETS
For the first time since the spring of 1914, K. U. tennis followers will have a chance to see Captain Dix Teachorner assistants in competition in an intercollegiate tennis match.

HOP SURPRISES ALL
Capper's Lame Duck, Cabaret Confetti Carnival Features of Party
Remember the good old days of the kerosene circuit when the villain used up forty-one rounds of ammunition chasing the fair maiden in that thrilling drama entitled "A Bucket of Blood; or the Fight in Nugget" before noisy noise at 1:46 last Saturday morning in Robinson Gymnasium. And the hall was a brilliant riot of brilliant paper streamers thrown over wires strung across the ceiling and colored confetti flying through the air and settling in the hair—and mouths—of the two hundred dancers. That's the way the whole evening from the time Governor and Mrs. Capper appeared on the receiving line until the lights winked at the sleepy chaparres on 2 a.m., one surprise after another was thrown at the guests. And when the ingenuity of the shop manager, was restoring Haley's shot off a round or two from his six-shooter to wake-up the professors' dress suits on the side-lines.
The Hop was the largest given in recent years. Among the unique features were the midnight fare, the carousel, the candlelight cabaret supper, the confetti carnival, and Governor Capper's lame duck with Dora Lockett, the K. U. Beauty (see 1916 Jayhawker), and novel music by Hale's orchestra.
Guests were received by Mr. Linus Fitzgerald president of the sophampore class, and Missora Lockett, Governor and Mrs. Arthur Carpper, Mr. Don Davis, and Miss Margaret Hodder, Cancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women.
MUSEUM RECEIVES BABOON
FROM LAWRENCE SHOWMA
Another dog-faced baboon was given to Dyche Museum, Wednesday, by N. G. Fairly, the showman who lives a mile east of Haskell. Although Mr. Fairly has been the victim of Uni-iversity animal attacks, her appearance of his show in Lawrence, yet he never hesitates to donate to the University animals that die during the winter stay at the farm. Many who attended the University three years ago will remember the raid made by the students upon Mr. Fairry's death. Yet the next time Mr. Fairly has given four knee snakes, Pythons and Boa Constrictors and two valuable specimens of baboons to Dyche Museum.
The skin of the baboon given Wednesday will be used for a mounted specimen and the skeleton is now being cleaned by boiling in a Sal Soda solution, and will be mounted for study purposes.
The dog faced baboon like all primates is found only in the old world. This species Papio hamadryas, the Sacred Ape (Thoth) of the ancient Egyptians, is the commonest monkey found throughout Abyssinia, and lives out in the open country preferring rocky precipices to the woods.
The bulletin boards in Fraser Hall are interesting places at present. Lists of scholarships and fellowships from the most noted colleges and universities of the United States are posted and are well worth attention.
Helen M. Hayes, former student in the department of journalism, has left the Great Bend Tribune to take a place on the Hutchinson Gazette.
Miss Hayes to Hutchinson

Governor Capper Says K. U.
Needs More Equipment,
More Room
AN APPROPRIATION SOON?
Chief State Executive Says Legis-
lature Will Provide for School
The time has come for the University to receive an appropriation sufficient for a new building, at least! This was the sentiment expressed by Governor Arthur Capper, the guest of the University at the Soph Hop Friday evening, in response to a query to his attitude toward future education. The former showed his appreciation of the size and importance of the state's chief educational institution and of prestige throughout the country.
SCHOOL NEEDS EQUIPMENT
U. has a strong faculty from the Church to teach her. U. governor, "but it takes something more than a big chancellor and learned professors to develop a big school. They must have facilities with which to work—buildings and equipment. People have a right to expect a skillful workman to have the best of tools to handle his output."
