Fiue Professors at
Illinois University
Cleared of Charges

CHICAGO, Dec 12.-Accusations
of disloyalty against five members Of
the faculty OF the University of Illi
nois were found to be without
grounds, by a subcommittee in re
port to the board Of trustees OF the
institution last night.
The report of the subcommittee
which investigated the changes,
however, suggested that the attitude
OF the four men and one woman to.
wards w. H. Kerrick, an agent Of the
department of justice was discount
eous."
Those accused were: DR.. A. G..
Cole, assistant professor of history;
Camille Weiss, instructor in struc-
tural engineering; DR.. Richard Chase
Tolman, professor of chemistry; Carl
Hassler, instructor in philosophy, and
DR.. Queen Lois Shepherd Of the de-
partment of philosophy.
The board Of trustees agree with
the report of the subcommittee and
announced that in the future any talk
of disloyalty will be dealt with sum-
marily, and issued warning to facul-
ty members to guard their utterances.
One of the charges against the In
structors was that they derided lib
erty bond statesmen, Red Cross and
Y. NJ. c. A. agents, although all dis
claimed any intention of disloyalty.

cred on Monday after it had been sur
rounded by British troops.
There are some signs of a renewal
OF the Austro-German efforts to break
the Italian front between the Brenta
and the Piave in northern Italy, a
heavy bombardment being reported
in that sector of the mountain line.
Snow has begun falling in the
mountains however and this is count
ed upon to work against the Teutonic
forces, making their communications
more difficult to keep up and helping
to block their way into the passes
The artillery on both sides has
been active along the greater part Of
the two fronts and on the western
front, the allied and German airmen
have engaged in lively combats.
German reinforcements continue to
be sent westward but there is no sign
Of when and where the expected blow
will fall. Heavy bombardments by
the big guns generally signify ap-
preaching fighting activity and the
impression prevails in allied capitals
that the Germans will make a su-
preme effort before very long.

for war. Vardaman even made a
speech for the resolution. La Fol.
