Jeer Crown Prince
In Town On Rhine

PARIS, Sept. 6.-The defeat in
fiicted upon his troops by the Franco
American forces on the Marne not
only has cost the German crown
prince his prestige with his men, but
is now costing him his popularity
with his fathers subjects.
Just after the battle of the Marne
the crown prince passed through
Oberhausen, on the Rhine, where he
was met by crowds of Germans, most
ly women and old men. AS the Ger
man heirs car passed they jeered
and insulted him. Police and troops
were called to restore order and sew
eral rioters were arrested.
Information which has leaked
through to Germany by way of Swift
zerland of the continual arrival of
American forces on the battle front
has greatly helped to demoralize the
German middle classes, who now see
that German headquarters reports
have deceived the people.

Paris, April 13.-The letter writ
ten by Emperor Charles to Prince
Sixtus of Bourbon outlining the
means by which France might at
tain peace was, upon its receipt, i'm
mediately communicated to all of
Frances allies, says the Petit Par
isian. 1t was decided, it added at
an inter-allied conference which
was held shortly afterward, that
there was no occasion to act on the
emperor's suggestion
Geneva, Friday, April 12.-The
existence of the letter written by
Emperor Charles to his brother-in-
law, Prince Sixtus of Bourbon,
which intimated that France might
have peace, is not contested by the
Vienna newspapers, who had been
prohibited from publishing any
thing concerning it until today. At
the same time, however, they de-
clare that the letter as given out
by the French government, is a
false version and add that the real
text never will be published.
The Neue F'rei Presse states
that the telegram sent to Emperor
William by Emperor Charles has
suppressed ''the most dangerous in
trigue ever concocted."
Meanwhile the peremptory recall
of Count Czernin, the foreign min
lister, from Bucharest by Emperor
Charles IS causing CONSERVATION

written before the breakdown of
Russia at a time when the war
outlook was quite different from to-
day and when a young, peace-lov-
ing monarch might take steps
which today, under entirely altered
conditions, must appear in another
light"

IRISH CONTINUE
TO FIGHT DRAFT
Attempt to Have Clause Taken
From Man Power Bill Defeated
in House of Commons.

London, April 13.-A proposal b.
Irish Nationalists to omit the con-
scription of Ireland clause from
the government man-power bill
was rejected by majority of 172
in the house of commons last
night. The total vote shows that
stained from voting.
The debate in the house last
night was remarkable for the
speech of H. H. Asquith. the for
mer premier, who, while strongly
objecting to the conscription of
Ireland, frankly declined to take
the responsibility at the moment
the nation is facing a grave mill
tary crisis, of pushing that opposi-
ton of forcing a change in the
government.
Andrew Bonar Law, in a brief
speech winding up the decision.
contended that the government had
a moral report in what they were
doing and would be craven not TO
do it.
I'VE could not tell America she
had the right to conscript Irish
men in the United States while we
had not the same right at home, -
he said. I'VE intend at the earl
lest moment to introduce a bill
which we hope will give home rule.
or rather local government to Ire
land"
This statement brought a fresh
uproar and laughter from the Irish
members. Mr.. Bonar Law went
on:
I'VE shall try to carry it through
simultaneously with preparedness
for carrying out the man-pOwer
bill, that is all l can say
His speech was interrupted con-
stantly by ironical remarks from
the Irish benches. The Irish mem
bers challenged to a further deci-
sion on the conscription clause.

CITY OF RHEIMS REPORTED IN FLAMES
'Other Woman

of Professor

Chicago, April 13-The case of
Professor William l. Thomas and
Mrs. r. NJ. Granger, detained by
government agents after register
ing on Thursday at a downtown
hotel as &C. Roland and wife. Gary,
Ind was in the hands of city au-
thorities today. They were releas-
ed on their own recognizance. What
action the city authorities will take
has not been made known. Mrs.
Granger, "a years old, mother of a
S-year-old child and wife of an
army officer fighting with the Amer
lean forces in France, spent last
night at the south side home of the
University of Chicago professor of
sociology. She was there by invi-
tatiOn of the professors wife who
is known nationally as pacifst.
Mrs. Thomas met Mrs Granger
down town by appointment and
took the pretty wife of the soldier
home with her. accompanied by
Mrs. Granger's sister, Miss Della
Raines, a motion picture actress
and an art student
Il am terribly. terribly sorry for
you" Mrs Thomas said to Mrs.
Granger. "The only thing l can't
forgive is the utter stupidity and
the absurd childishness of the pro-
fessor doing such a thing He
ought to have known better"
Mrs. Thomas has heretofore rail-
lied to the defense of her husband
when criticized for some of his
writings and utterances on sex
questions.
Mrs Granger, who had confessed
her love for the distinguishedap
pearing professor, expressed a hope
that her husband in France, unen-
lightened by the advanced theories
of the scholarly philosopher, will
not come back with vengeance in
his heart
II hope my husband doesn't hear
of this" she said. Il know he'll
desert and come over. Then there'll
be shooting, CHASTITY shooting"
Dean Albion Small, head of the
department of sociology of the Uni
versity of Chicago, of which Pro-
I fessor Thomas is a member, said
that something probably would be
done by the university authorities.
THE matter of procedure will
rest with President Judson, who is
out of the city. 1t is probable that
a chairman will be appointed to in
vestigate the act of the professor.
