Especial to The Times.)

Northampton, Mass, Feb. 4-For the first time in the history of Smith College citizens of this city and vicin- ity and the college authorities have come to odds regarding a college policy when a number of the resi- dents of Northampton, Easthampton and Westf1eld openly declared their disapprovaI of the Smith College stu dents peddling their wares of soap and cleansing fluids through the streets of those cities in the aid of their drive for the Smith Endowment fund of s4,000,OOO.
 The young women among whom is Miss Louise Atwater who resides in Bridgeport, Conn. have also canvassed from house to house and have had re- markable success in their efforts. But the joint protests from a few citizens, evidently firm believers in the old blue laws and with but little sense of fairness, have caused the entire campaign to be withdrawn thus avert ing what promised to become a grave crisis through court action
 The protests which came almost as soon as the young women appeared on the numerous streets were not al first taken seriously but later as they grew in volume even in the face of Governor Coolidge's stand Of approv- al and praise, at his home hero the college authorities deemed 1t wise to have this method of campaigning ceased ..---

 The father stated he did not hear of the death of his son until January 2S, and from accounts in the papers, Strank's acquittal Hooked like one sided affair.""

 Berlin, Feb. 3-Efforts to keep in tact the fortune of former Emperor William are condemned in a long edi- torial printed by the Norwaerts this afternoon. The newspaper says this is in behalf of "a man who ruined Germany." ~- ...
 "The bill now before the Prussian diet represents a master piece of old Prussian- efficiency" says the editorial flor the financial status of Count Hohenzollern is placed on the basis of his right, to property, while noth- ing is said as to his guilt or the po- liticaI situation. It is, perhaps, well to remember that the national con stitution gives the government the right to seize private fortunes.'
 Details of the measure are given by the newspaper. which says paragraph four of the bill declares the Royal House will give, 'in the interest of the general welfare" certain posses sions such as real estate, works of art and valuable articles, but provides the former Emperor must be paid 100, 100000 marks in compensation.
 '"This sum has an-eccentricity," the editorial continues, ''in that it not only will be paid to the erstwhile Kaiser s fortune, but will be devoted to pay ing taxes on that fortune. This, translated into simple German,

|2,3OO Pupils
 Now Absent From School
Number of Teachers Out Because of Illness In-
 creased to 70.
WANT CHILDREN I
 KEPT AT STUDIES

Supt. Slawson's compilation of figures showing the number of children absent from the schools of the city today dis losed that 2,3OO pupils did not attend classes, either because of illness or because their parents did not consider it safe to send them.
 School officials attribute the big falling off in attendance to the fact that many of the teachers were the first to suffer from the epidemic To- days report on the teachers placed the number absent at 70. sOf this number IS were High school instruct ors, and the other 51 from the grades
 At noontime every sch9ol had re- ported except two. The High school with a mark of FPS furnished a heavy quota of absentees considering the age of the pupils.
 Thus far, Mir SIawson has been able to fill the ranks of the missing teachers from his list of substitutes and by calling up Normal school stu dents. However, he is still securing the city for every available substitute and holding them in readiness in case the epidemic continues to invade the faculties of the schools.
 Board of Health officials vigorously oppose the keeping of children away from school during the current cpl demic. Ever since Dr. Brown has taken over the department he. has urged and advocated that the schools be run regardless of the spread of the disease. He argues that with children in school they are under constant medical supervision and that contact with other children is

 Especially bitter is the newspapers comment as it recounts the castles and real estate the royal house does not give to the state. It says the Hohenzollerns will retain 83 villas and real estate plots, houses in Ber- lin, Potsdam, Kiel and P1oen and Castles and forests throughout the country. Added to these estates, the royal fortune comprises properties in trust and strong box funds.
