Reichstag Committee Would Change
Constitution on Royal Edicts.

Amsterdam. May 5.-A restriction of
the power of the emperor of Germany
has been decided upon by the constitu-
tional committee of the reichstag, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Berlin. The
committee has decided to alter Article
XVII of the imperial constitution as
follows:
Ordinances and DEGREES of the
kaiser will be issued in the name of
the empire and will require for validity
the counter Signature of the imperial
chancellor or his representative, who
thereby assumes responsibility to the
reichstag."
The decision of the committee was
in accordance with a joint proposal by
the Centrists. National Liberals and
the ProgressiVes. Four conservative
members voted against the change.
The committee also adopted reso-
luton by the same proposers demand
ing a bill fixing the chancellor's re
sponsibility for any violation of his
official duty and the notification of
such violation by a senate tribunal.
The constitution committee has re-
jected DIR. Bernstein's proposals re-
curing the approval of the reichStag

and concluded, when war is declared
and when peace agreements are be-
ing settled, the Berlin dispatches stat

The committee also has rejected the
proposal to introduce a bill giving the
reichstag power to dismiss the chan
cellor when ii wishes, the adVices add.

Gov. Capper Says Nation Cal

State Schools To Be Offered to
War Department.
NO TENDER HAS been made
Strong and Waters May Make
Offer in Washington.
X. U. Medical Corps Ready to
Answer Any Call.
By BRINKERHOFF

Property and organizations of the
state and state departments will be
at the disposal of the federal govern
ment at any time they may be of SER
vice to the war department, according
to a statement today by Governor Cap
per. Following out the policy of the
state administration, Chancellor Frank
Strong, of Kansas university, may to-
day offer the plant and organization of
the big state school to Secretary Baker
of the war department.
Chancellor Strong and Henry ]. Wa
ters. president of the State Agricultural
college, are this week attending a
meeting of the national council of de-
Tense in Washington. Before return
ing to Kansas. the organizations and
plants of the big state schools may be
formally placed at the disposal of the
federal government during the war
with Germany. Recently Chancellor
Strong stated that the medical corps
and staff of the State university would
be offered to the government at any
time its service was needed.
No Tender Yet Made.
No formal tender has as yet been
made the federal government by the
state, Governor Capper stated, altho
such an offer would probably come
thru Chancellor Strong today or early
next week. The offer may be made
orally to Secretary Baker during
Chancellor Strong's stay in Washing
ton.
ANY property or organization of
the state which may be of service to
the federal government would doubt
less be turned over promptly if the
government indicated that such ser
vice was needed" said Governor Cap
per. LAS yet no formal offer has been
made of use of state property. 1t is
very probable, though. that Chancellor
Strong may make such a tender dur
ing his attendance at the national
council of defense in Washington. He
has already indicated that the medical
corps and general staff of the state
university would be placed at the dis
poSal of the government"
Indiana Has Taken Action.
The physical plant and property OF
Indiana state university has been Of
fered the war department and it is
probable that Kansas will be among
the first states to respond to any need
or requirement of the government for
organization or plants of state depart
