FRENCH GOVERNMENT QUERIES BERLIN ON
 STATUS OF CAPTIVES

Paris. March 1.-The French gov ernment has summoned Germany to reply favorably without delay to the propositions for reciprocal treatment of prisoners of war. made by France.
 A semi-official communication given out here denies categorically the German claim that the holding of French prisoners of war in the zone of fire behind the German lines is in reprisal for similar treatment of Ger man prisoners of war in France. The communication puts French families OH guard against what it calls maneuver of the German government designed to create anguish and emo- ton in the public mind,' in these >so- called reprisals.
 The French government, it adds, communicated through the Amerf- can embassy it's desire to arrive at full understanding regarding the treatment Of prisoners in the zone of the armies, but no reply was forth coming from Germany. Meanwhile the threatened reprisals were put irt execution. Therefore, notice is that Germany must reply.
 Gen. Won Stein, German minister of war, announced in the reichstag last week that in reprisal for the action of France in compelling German pris- oners of war to work under fire close behind the front Germany had adopt ed similar measures. Germany, he declared, had warned France that such measures would be taken unless the practice charged against the French was discontinued.

Gus colleges and athletic clubs of
the state as the result of recon-
mendation made by Johnny Stroud,
graduate manager of the University

month be cut from the playing season.
Stroud believes the players get
''stale" when they are kept in con-
staint training over three months.
"Look at California's case," Stroud
declared. eve reached the height

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
BEING REHEARSED
"All-Of-a-Sudden Peggy" Promises to
Be an Interesting and Exciting Pro-
duction-JuniOr Thespians Are Con-
cluding Their Work and are Word
Perfect in Parts.

"All-o-a-Sudden Peggy" the annual
High School Junior class play selec-
ton, has been postponed from Decem-
ber IA to Monday, December II.
In "All-of -a-Sudden Peggy the Ju-
nior playsters have fine material to
work upon. This modern, three-act
light comedy is brimming over with
clever witticisms and with tense as
we'll as amusing situations. The play
has also more than the average
amount of characterization work land
if the Junior "bunch' live up to their
reputation in dramatics, their pres
entation should come up to the best
of recent high school productions.
The scenes are laid in and around
London, England. The first act oc-
ours at the country house of Lord
Crackenthorpe. Anthony, Lord Crack
enthorpe, deeply interested in spiders,
has as guests, Mrs. O'Mara, Irish, and
her charming young daughter, Peggy.
Fearing that Lord Crackenthorpe Will
become infatuated and marry Peggy,
whom they consider below their sta
ton, other members of the Cracken-
thorpe family conspire to marry Peg
gy off to Jimmy Keppel, younger
brother of Lord rCackenthorpe. Their
,fforts to complete their scheme, the
ensuing tangles, and the final entirely
unexpected conclusion, contain a
world of humor.
hTe cast working on the play is as
follows:
rinmie Keppel Robert Kuykendall
Peggy O'Mara -. .Velva Hackleman
Ton. Anthony 'Keppel. Luvois Fuller
Maj. Archie Phipps. Clifford North
Lady Crackenthorpe. .... Ruth Tate
Millicent Keppel. -. Mildred Brewer

California ended her season in the
first or second week of November.
The Washington contract at first
called for two games, which prolonged
the season a couple of weeks. The

ures that some definite limit should
be set.
