FERDINAND VICTIM
Of HUN CONSPIRACY
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES ARE
MADE IN THE SECRET coRRE.
SPONDENCE OF CZERNlN.
Regarded as Too Dangerous Rival
to the Kaiser, Germans Engineered
Plot Which Resulted in Assassin
alton of Austrian Crown Heir.

New Ork.-GeOrge Creel, former
chairman of the committee on public
Information, made public here Thurs
day night summary of the secret cor
reSpondence of Count CZernin. late
foreign minister of Austria-IIuugary,
which was turned over to Edgar Sis
son at Prague by the custodian Of
neal OF the Bohemian government on
January "A last. One of the most SEN
Satlonal of the disclosures was that
there was Il GermanMagyar Conspir-
acy against the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne
OIL Austria, who was assassinated at
Sarajevo, June %. 1914, because he
was considered rival of the then
Emperor William.
Mr.. Creel, said Mr.. Sisson. accented
the privilege of using the correspond
enCe in behalf of the United States
government. Translators and a pho
tographer in the service of the COM
mlttee on public information were set
ut work to translate the documents
~ S'hSi al puDllCdllOD III llllS country
as the final public contribution of the
committee, according to Creel.
From the documents and letters 1t
VIII be shown that Francis Ferdinand
was working on building up strong
Austria which would eventually eman-
clpate itself from the influence of
Berlin. This was blocking Berlin's
plan for expansion toward the east
and the Berlin government came to
an understanding with the Budapest
government to offset the plans of
Francis Ferdinand.
Although no positive proof was
found from the documents on hand as
to the conspiracy to kill Archdulle
Francis Ferdinand, it is sufficiently
evident that there was no conspiracy
in Serbia for that purpose. The arch
duke was rather friend of Serbia in
hatred of the Magyars, as he knew
OF the conspiracy between the Berlin
and the Budapest governments.

JAPANESE GET FooTHoLO.
Given Right to Farm Lands in Lower
California.

Mexico City.-That Japanese cor
porations have been granted conces-
slons to exploit agricultural lands in
Lower California was the statement
made Sunday by General Armada Ag-
uric, under secretary of development
and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, however,
that the concessions were fully author
lied by the provisions of the Mexican
constitution regarding the area and
position of the territory in relation to
the ocean shore and the frontier line.
There was nothing in the conces-
sions, it was asserted by the under sec
rotary, that might possibly lead to diff
ficulties as far as the Monroe doctrine
was concerned.

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN.
Clocks Advanced an Hour at O'Clock
Sunday Morning.

Washington.-The nations clocks
were advanced an hour at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning. On the last Sunday
of October the lost hour will be re-
stored, when all the clocks will be
turned back 60 minutes.
The time changes are authorized
under the daylight savings law passed
by congress last year as a conservation
measure. Farmers representatives
were dissatisfied after one seasons
trial and sought to have the act re-
pealed, but the agricultural appropria-
ton bill, carrying repeating rider,
failed with other measures killed by
the senate filibuster.

FOUR TO ACT ON
MONROE DOCTRINE
AMENDMENT TO TIE LEAGUE
COVENANT SUBMITTED TO
COUNCIL AT PARIS.
Commission Of Four Will Decide the
Course TO be Adopted.-connmis-
sion Of Responsibility for War
Reaches Decision.

Parls.IThe American Monroe doc
urine amendment to the covenant OF
the league OF nations, II Is understood,
had been submitted to the council Of
four for final determination as 10 the
course 10 he adopted concerning IL.
When the amendment came up at
the last meeting of the league of ma
tons commission, an unexpected OBJ
stacle arose which caused action on
it to be deferred.
This was not against the Monroe
doctrine itself, but the form of the
amendment which is so general in it's
terms that it might include other doc
trlnes to which strong objections pre-
vailed among some of the British
dominlons.
AS the conference failed to disclose
means of removing the obstacle, the
amendment was finally referred to
the president and premiers as the court
of last resort.
The commission on responsibility for
the war has decided: First. solemnly
to condemn the violation of neutrality
and all the crimes committed by the
central empires; second, the appoint
ment of an international tribunal to
judge all those responsible, including
the former German emperor.
1t is understood that the committee
having in charge the selection of the
official seat of the league of nations
has reached a definite decision in favor
of Geneva.

A program Of muscal and varied
numbers was rendered. Charles
Mattson, the only student enrolled
at the college who has seen service
overseas, gave an interesting sketch
of his experiences in France. He
was sent to France after short
training with the One Hundred
Eighth infantry, TWenty-seyenth
division, and saw fighting about
Cambria and later St. Quentin. AS
he was attached to headquarters he
had ample opportunity to see and
experience all the hazards and
hardships of war After continued
fighting with the British at St. Co
daign he was sent TO a rest camp,
suffering from shell shock. He still
carries many of the effects of the
disorder, and was sent to an en-
barkation camp in France directly
at the close of the armistice large

The program was concluded with
a selection by a string orchestra.
