The lays of Arkansas forbid a member of the faculty to affiliate with any fro ternity. The board also suspected that the professor had been a go-be- tHeant n the university row.
 This afternoon Governor Brough vas given petition said to contain the names of 100 students asking that Professor Williams be retained, but the board took no action on the peti- tion.

RUN ENvoYs DEPART

VERSAILLES, May 12.-(By the As sociated Press .)-The departure of the German envoys for Berlin today is in no sense to be interpreted as breach in the peace negotiations. These plnenipotentiaries not only have the important ministerial portfolios, re- spectively of justice and posts, and telegraphs, but are among the most in- fluential political leaders in Germany.
 Landsberg is regarded as the brains of the majority socialists, while Giesberts is very high in the councils of the Catholic party and the Catholic labor unions. Their counsel is there for, required by the government in determining its decision toward the peace conditions.
 It is understood that both the min- isters will return to Versailles in case the peace treaty is signed.

FRANCE IN NO MOOD TO LISTEN TO PEACE
 PROTESTS BY ENEMY

PARIS. Sunday, May 11.-(French Wireless Service)-France is not in mood to listen to Germany just now, the Journal des Debats says, in an article on the manifestations against the peace treaty by the German gov ernment and the German press.
 ''The president of Germany" the editorial says, protests against the pehce terms and declares them i'm possible of acceptance. This attitude will be lost on us. The Germans, as usual, will yield only to force.
 Tt is comical, indeed, to see at a time like this the Germans seriously proposing to us a version of the league of nations and plans for the reconstruction of Europe. They should put them all back in the cabinets of Wilhelmstrasse."

CAPTURED
 CANANEA BANDITS
Five of Band Executed by Hurdles; U. 5. Cavalry
 Aids Pursuers

DOUGLAS, May 12.-Five members of the band of 22 outlaws which raided -Cananea Friday morning, killing five policemen and escaping with money and loot totalling abut $5O,O0O in value, were reported in Cananea today to have been captured by Sonora rural guards under Gen. Carlos Plank, Sun day, and tp have been executed i'm mediately. No official confirmation could be obtained, however. General Plank has been in the field with his command of 300 irregular cavalry and Is reported to be securing the Sierra Azul district, where the bandits were believed to have sought refuge, with great thoroughness.
 As a precautionary measure, two troops of the First United States cavalry under command of Major Wilson HeatoE were sent to San Der nardino ranch, 16 miles east of Doug las, to strengthen the border patrol. This was done by order of Brig. Gen. Howard R.. Hickok, commanding the Arizona military district. Other border patrols to the west of here are under stood to have been strengthened also. This step was dictated purely by eau tion, many rumors of uprising in So- nora being afloat, although not cred ited in well informed circles. How ever, it is admitted that unless the rural guards succeed in rounding up the band they are after, there is pos sibility of raids on other mining camps of Sonora similar to that at Can anea.
 The Sonora government is report ed to be taking similar precautionary measures by sending small bodies of soldiers to the mining camps and border towns of northern Sonora to CO., operate with the civil officials, should it be found necessary to repel bandit attacks.

NO FUNDS TO PAY, LATEST HUN PLEA

COBLENZ, Saturday, May 1O.-(By the Associated Press 1.-The impress sion gained by American officers through talking with Germans regard. ing the peace terms is that many of them are bitter and. sullep. but are inclined to resign themselves to ac- cept any terms no matter how harsh. No concrete plan of action has been suggested in the event the German delegates at Versailles refuse to sign the Treaty.
 American officers say the common people in the occupied area have widely divergent views, but that as a whole they appear more or less stunned. Many of them seem crushed, but others are showing spirit of bravado.
 One American who had circulated freely among the civilians reported that none of them expecte dthat Ger many would accept the terms. They said they could not see how the peo- pie would be able to pay the indem- mites demanded if their commerce was restricted and all their colonies confiscated, and, in addition, Ger many had to cede land belonging to the mainland.
 They asserted, furthermore, that the internal resources of Germany alone were insufficient to permit of the payment of indemnities for genera tions to come.
 An army intelligence summary out lines reports received from various
