ANNUL CHARTER
President of Illinois Miners Threatens
Unless Men Go to Work.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 23-Frank
Harrington, president of the Illinois
Mine Workers, gave another chance
today to the three ''rebellious" locals
in Franklin county before revoking
their charters, as he threatened last
week to do where there were so-called
Illegal strikes.
If the miners there, who voted
yesterday to remain idle until wage
increases are allowed, do not return
to work tomorrow, Harrington said re-
organization of the locals will be I'M
dertaken at once. Aside from the
three West Frankfort locals, practical
ly every mine in Illinois, except a few
shut down for repairs it was said, are
working today, and the normal pro-
duction of coal is being rapidly ap-
preached

BOYCOTT GERMAN us
After War Germany VIII Find Edu-
cationaI Prestige Gone.

London, Oct. 23.-An educational
boycott will be clapped down on Ger
many by allies as soon as peace comes
Several large educational institutions
of England, it became known today,
are already laying plans to complete
ACTIVITY with German universities and
to break their monopoly of educating
students from America and other
parts of the world.
The main drive of the British in
situations is directed toward diverting
the stream of American students from
the Teuton schools into English
schools. Already certain concessions
to American students are announced.
Both Oxford and Cambridge are max
ing changes in their curricula with
view to attracting American scholrs
after the war.
Oxford has decided to grant the
"Ph. D." degree, which has never be-
fore been conferred, for the special
benefit of American cousins. In the
days. before the war thousands of
American students flocked to the fam
Gus German universities The astute
German professors made it the
fashion" to be educated in Teuton
schools British scholastic authorities
see a shining opportunity Immediate
ly after the war before hatred of Ger
many has cooled, to capture\ that
trade"
Since Americas entry into the war,
the interest of the man in the street
has increased wonderfully. Book stalls
are experiencing heavy run on books
dealing with America.

OLD BULGAR TRICK
Balkan Nation "Plays With Allies" to
Get Tutonic Concessions.

Washington, Oct. 23.-It was de-
clared in Balkan diplomatic circles
today that Bulgaria has been playing
with the allies to obtain larger con-
cessions from Germany and Austria
Hungary. Bulgaria was believed to
have obtained definite promises from
the Teutonic powers as a result of her
apparent Willingness to make separate
peace with the entente.
The crisis, if any really exists, had
already passed when Emperor Will
liam paid his recent visit to Sofia and
Constantinople, it was declared.
Representatives of the entente Bal
kan allies in Washington expressed
disappointment today at what they
stated was "a seeming attitude on the
part of the allies to barter with Bull
garia.'' A minister of one Balkan
country said: Bulgaria is, at her old.
game, and in it, she is working hand
in hand with Germany. She began it
with the intention of obtaining larger
cocessions from Germany and Austria
Hungary. Having obtained them. she
is continuing her deceitful practices.
1t is our solemn hope that the allies
will not permit themselves to- be de-
ceived again, as they were SO disas-
trously when Bulgaria was preparing
to enter the war"

ASK CHANGE OF VENUE
Alleged AccompIices of Kidnaper
PiersoI Want Trial Moved.

Springfield, Mo, Oct 23.-Attorneys
for Taylor Adams and Cletus Adams,
who are awaiting trial on a charge of
kidnapping Baby Lloyd Keet said to-
day that before the cases are called in
the circuit court at Marshfield some
time in January, a change of venue
probably will be asked. 1t will be con-
tended that because of the conviction
of Claude Piersol and the fact that the
evidence in the trials of the two
Adamses will be much the same as in
troduced in the Piersol trial, it would
be impossible to get a fair trial in
Webster county.
The cases already are at Marshfield
on a change of venue from this
county.
None of the accused persons has
been able to furnish bonds fixed by
Judge Skinker at the conclusion of the
Piersol trial. Piersol is cheerful under
the thirty-five year sentence given him
by the jury and is hopeful that he will
succeed in getting a new trial.
