THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Apr. 8.
The latest development in pro-Flem-
ish schemes of the Germans in Bel
GUM is long letter from Baron Won
Bssing, the German governor general,
refusing to renounce his plan OF con
verting the University of Ghent into
Flemish University, although re-
quested to do so by group of we'll
known leaders of the Flemish move
ment themselves.
A number of leading Flemings Of
Antwerp realizing how their cause
might be set back after the war by
the present intervention of the Ger
mans in its favor, recently petitioined
the governor general to leave the so
luton OF this question to the Belgians
themselves, putting forward various
reasons of a political and moral ma
ture why he should give up the scheme
regarding Ghent University.
The petition was viewed with dis
appointment and displeasure by the
governor general whose reply declar-
ed that preparations for systematical-
ly carrying out the reform OF Client
University have already begun, and
that "the objections raised are not of
such nature as to give ground for
my going back on my decision"
Il attach" he continues, too much
value to the material and moral task
of higher education and the universi-
ties to share in your opinion that the
benefits of such education be with
held for long period yet from the ris-

AUSTRIAN TRANSPORT SUNK
DUTCH AND BELGIAN EDUCATORS RISE
IN WRATH OVER PROPOSED CHANGES

There is no single reason for you
TO speak of my resolve as a superflu-
Gus gift that the Flemings might not
accept at German hands. Likewise
your opinion that the question of the
Client University is one OF purely in
ternal Belgian policy. in which the
occupying power is not competent to
intervene, is neither actually nor
legally justifiable. You know very
well that in peace time, in contrast
to the French, Germany has always
avoided mixing itself up in these mat
ters. so much the less can | allow
that the governing and administrative
rights which Germany, as occupying
power, now has in Belgium, with re-
gard also to higher education, be res
tricted in any way.
Dutch and Belgian authorities on
International law dispute the consti
tutional right of the Germans to in
tefvene in the internal affairs of a
temporarily occupied country, as op-
posed to the spirit and letter of the
Hague convention of 1907 relating to
the laws and usages Of land wailag2.
AS matter of fact, however most
Belgians are quite indisposed to make
themselves seriously anxious about
the execution of Baron Won Bissing S
plan. 1t is in one sense an easy mat
ter to open a Flemish University, but
university must have professors and
students. and that is Just where the
rub comes. Nevertheless, continued
efforts are being made both in Bel
guim and Holland to get together the
necessary forces for organizing the
srlemiSh university.

In talking with Emil Peterson Of
White Pima, who is down attending
court, the question srose about what
had become Of Dick Tuller. It wss on
July 9th over . year ago that Tuller left
the Pine. Some weeks ago = brief wire
came from FL Paso asking friend for

was perfectly good and the money vas
sent at once by wire. He never called
for II, and inquiry among the sGBcisls
Of El Peso never discovered . trace Of
him. The chief Of police never heard Of
him.
Tuller was IN educated man, and left
considerable mining property of value
both at White Pine and in the mineral
belt south Of Gunnison. This year. busi-
ness partners have done assessment
work on the Lily and other claims not
patented. He was q likeable man,
though very quiet and reserved. With
old Tom Riley. who died some years
back. he came to White Pine in the early
days andseemed . fixture there. Some
thing has happened to Dick Tuller or he
would have been heard from long before
