DARTMOUTH EXPELS
CRITIC OF PRESIDENT
College Editor Attacked Fac

HASovrR. y. H.. May 16.-Francis
Sterling Wilson OF Washington, u. c., n
senior at Dartmouth and editor In chief
of the Jack % Lantern. WAS separated
from the college to-day by the adminis-
tration for publishing an editorial con-
tanning "A paragraph abusive of two ofi'-
ccrs of the college. The officers are
President Ernest Fax Nichols and Prot.
Frank II. Dixon.
Wilson Is a popular man and his sum.
mary separation has caused much agi-
tat'on. a petition for his reinstatement
will he presented to Paleopitus. the stu
dent governing body Of Dartmouth,
which in turn will present 1t to the
faculty. He was a member of the Ford
peace party.
The trouble originated over the uues-
ton az to whether Dartmouth students
who attend the rlattsburg encanpment
should re Give credit toward their col
lege degree in compensation for their
summer training When tho question
came before the faculty the vote re-
suited in a tie. President Nichols de-
cided the question by voting in favor of
granting credit to those attending the
Pla,tsburg e~ncampnent.
The student body had also been divided
on the question and Wilson was an anti
credit leader When he learned that the
proposition had passed the faculty by
one vote he published an editorial in
which he SAID
W are glad that the opposition to
this measure was mostly by young men
of the faculty. We are glad that the
chief advocate Of the measure is not n
Dartmouth man. We are glad that tho
man whose vote decided the question Ia
not q Dartmouth man. May their
memory soon fade from these halls
After considering the situation Wilson
published an apology.

Secretary Lansing Notified
Won BcrnStOrff 1t Did Not
Come Under Treaty.

WASHINGTON. Mav le.-Sscretary o.
state Lansing made public to-day his
note OF last March TO Coun: Won Bern
storff. the German Ambassador. con-
&c rning the British steamer Appam,
which Lieut.. Berg OF the German navy
brought to Norfolk.
The fact that the case is about to be
decided by the courts. which will de-
termine the ownership OF the vessel. has
focused interest on the position which
the United states assumed toward Ger
miny's contention that Article MN. of
the PrussiaR-American treaty OF 1922
entitled the Imperial Government to
maintain It's prize in American waters
until further notice.
Secretary Lansing held that the case
Of the Appam does not come under this
treaty provision. which IL applicable
only to prizes which are brought into
American ports by vessels OF war, The
Appam vas brought to Norfolk by a
handful OF Germans who took charge
Of the Britiah ship.
Secretary lansing in his note. said
In the opinion of the u,ernment

OF the Appam does not fall within the

regarding the regulation OF ocean freigh,
rates and the activities of water carriers
unless they had followed the argument
in the same manner as the active mem
bers OF the board. Representative Alex
ahder said there might not be mucl,
opposition to a motion to strike this pro.
vision from the bill.
Republican members of the committee
attacked it, asserting 1t would retard
rather than promote the development OF
"A merchant marine and would put n
q~uietus on the shipbuilding industry,
which is now in full blast.
In opening the debate Representative
Alexander touched on the Investigations
of the shipping trust" and the facts |,
disclosed.
Says Control IL Necessary.
II want to say right here" he added
that n we expect to build up an Amer
lean merchant marine under the Amer.
lean nag we must exercise some contro
over the in the overseas trade
We must exercise some control over for
eign lines engaged In trade from our
ports. and provisions IN this bill referring
to foreign have that end In
view-nothing rash. nothing drastic. bu,
reasonable regulation the purpose OF
which is to compel the observance OF
those rules that will insure to American
commerce fair treatment"
OF the proposal to create a shipping
board he added
II may confidently state that we have
behind US the united sentiment OF tho
great commercial bodies In the United
States, even including the Chamber OF
Commerce Of the United states"
"A, this time Mr.. Alexander con.
tinucd. there Is no claim that vessels
may not be built In American shipyards
as cheaply as they a be built any
where In the world. In fact We are now
building ships on foreign account. There
Is no claim that vessels may not be
operated under the American flag now
az cheaply as they can be operated under
a foreign flag.
The differences that may have ex-
listed prior to the war have been wiped
out. Hence | believe that II this bill
becomes a law every ship constructed
under its provisions will be constructed
In American sh!pyards.
Another question to which I wish &c
call attention IL this The Navy De.
partment represented by "A naval officer
appeared before our committee and said
that We need the 500,000 or 5000 0 tom
Of shipping provided for in this bill as
naval auxiliarles."

The steamship Bandoeng then

being asked about his captains pro-

Of the boat explained that he wanted
to come nearer the submarine so as to

The Imperial Government finds in
the Incident occasion to suggest 10
the Neutral Governments that the

given to understand that in the event
Of their being stopped by German

national law must he observed TO the

be called TO ,he dangers incurred by

BERLIN SENDS NEW
U BOAT WARNING
Asks That Captains BE Told
Not to Turn Ships on
Submarines.
LANSING OPPOSES PLAN

WAsHiNGroN. May 16.--1n n note
transmitted to the state Department to.
day by Count Won Bernstorff. the Ger
man Ambassador, the Imperial Govern
ment suggests that captains of Ameri-
can merchantmen be warned not to turn
their vessels toward submarines and APP
proach them. when ordered to stop by
the submarine commander. Germany
cites an instance concerning a Dutch
vessel as demonstrating the necessity Of
the warnings.
Secretary OF State Lansing said the
United states probably would not send
out the warnings suggested by Berlin.
The German communication takes the
ground that submarine commanders are
anxious to avoid mistakes and cites in
detail the circumstances of an attack on
the Dutch steamer B%andoeng last jan
uary. The point Is made hat the Dutch
ship approached the submarine and was
therefore taken for a British vessel.
This Is in line with Germany's fire.
quent contentious that British steamers
had orders to pursue" German subna-
rines. "A contention which this Govern
ment has never taken seriously. I'resi-
den Wilson. IT is understood. ann
believe that any nation would order
valuable merchant ships carrying valu-
able cargo to pursue submarines on the
high seas.
