WASHINGTON, Mar. 13-William
Hohenzollern, two months before the
armistice was signed, planned an asy-
lum In Sweden but was prevented
from going to that country by the
Swedish government, diplomatic ad-
vices made public today disclose.
The former kaiser's plans had reach

a deal was virtually closed for him
to rent Castle Stora Sundby situated
on one of the large lakes in the center
of Sweden, about four hours run by
train from Stockholm. The castle is
owned by old friends, Prince and Prin-

Preparations for the reception Of
the former kaiser are said to have
gone so far that vast sums were spent
in putting the castle In repair. and
comment was critical In the vicinity
because Of the scarcity and cost Of ma

Abolition Of Compulsory
Service in Germany Held
Effective Disarmament.
fBy Associated Press,

LONDON, March 13.-In discussing
the events at the peace conference, in
Paris, the Daily Chronicle says:
There is no doubt that Lloyd
George scored very important point
in gaining the assent of his colleagues
on the council of ten to the principle
that conscription be abolished in Ger
many. The plan adopted will enable
the powers on whose shoulders the
chief responsibility for maintaining
the league of nations will rest, to bear
the burden with much smaller mill
tary effort than would otherwise be
needed.
There will be no risk of perpetual
ing conscription in Great Britain and
the United States and we cannot sup
pose that France and Italy, having re-
gard for their economic situation, will
care to cumber themselves indefinite
ly with it"
1.-THE abolishment of compulsory
military service is the greatest practi-
cal step yet taken toward the dis
couragement of war;" says the Daily
Mail There is one vital provision
for the safety of the allies that must
accompany the abolition Of conscrip-
tion, however. This is the complete
and effective disarmament of Ger
many"

TO KILL ARChDUkE
(By Associated Press,

BERNE, March 13.-Charges that
the assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess
of Hohenberg, at Sarajevo on June %.
1914, was the result OF deliberate
plot led by the late Count Tisza, for
mer Hungarian premier, are made in
a pamphlet written by a priest was
was the spiritual adviser of the Ouch
ess of Hohenberg, according to a
Vienna dispatch to the Frankfort Ga
Zette. The pamphlet, entitled "The
Sarajevo Murder and Count Tisza' S
Responsibility for the World War;" Is
said to have made profound impress
sion in Austria. 1t is declared that
Francis Ferdinand repeatedly refused
to go to Sarajevo and it was only an
appeal to his courage that induced him
to make the trip.
The most elementary. precautions
were omitted" it is stated by the
priest. "He was simply led into a
trap prepared by the court at Vienna
and by the Hungarian aristocracy,
headed by Count Tisza."
The general idea of the pamphlet is
that Magyar Magnates, with the con-
sent Of the Vienna court, wished to
get rid Of the duke, who was extre-
mely disliked, and obtain vengeance
for the murder as the expense of the
JugoSlavs who would be made help
less. 1t was pointed out that no
proper" inquiry was ever made into
the tragedy and that no one was made
responsible for the fact that precau-
tionary measures were not taken.

RICHMOND LOSES
TO BLOOMINGTON
IN CLOSE CAME

Richmond high school basketball
team, after putting up one Of the scrap
piest battles ever seen on the Purdue
floor, made it's final bow to Blooming
ton the second half, 16 to 13. Rich.
mond led at the end of the first half,
8 to Z.
The Richmond team by adhering to
straight basketball made the Bloom
ington lads fight hard for their victory
and the right to compete for the state
honors.
In the first half of the game the
Richmond lads put up stiff fight and
came out with two point lead at
the end of the half. For a time 1t
looked as though the dope bucket
would be upset and Richmond would
be victorious.
In the second half the Bloomington
machine came back strong and al
though the Richmond five fought val
iaptly to hold the lead the fast Bloom
ington five slipped through the decid-
ing points, ending the game when the
final shot went, 16 to Is, in favor Of
Bloomington.
