HUN STUDENTS
PLAN CONFLICT
Are Supporters of Monarchy
and Oppose Socialist Plan
to Democratize Schools.

Berlin. MAY 21.-A conflict is devel-
oping between various students fra
ternities and the Socialist Prussian
minister of education, Herr Haenisch.
His plan to democratize universities is
meeting with strong opposition from
MANY of the students. large number
of whom are traditlonally stauncn
supporters of monarchial pam German
and anti Semitic principles. They ac-
claimed the advent of DR.. Wolfgang
Kapp and the militaristic counter
revolution with enthusiasm.
To nullify their influence In these
matters, Herr Haenisch worked out
scheme under which equality OF status
was established between foreign stu
dents and German students. Fratern1-
ties were forbidden to engage in politl-
cal and religious agitation, and gov
ernment representative was to sit on
fraternity committees with authority
To supervise their activities and report
upon them.
These measures are wrathfully de-
nounced as oppressively reactlonary
nv the student world of Germany
which is preparing to resist their i'm
nosition to the uttermost. Especially
do they object to the proposal that
soreien students at German universi-
ties should be placed on an equality
with themselves. At the present time
the German universities are said to
he overrun with Polish and Russian
] students and German youths do not
relish the idea of having to fraternlze
with them on equal terms. Still more
strongly do they resent having gov
ernment representatives sent among
them to act, they say, as 'informers.

WILL PROVIDE
Rail EQUIPMENT
Temporary Disposition of Re-
vOlving Fund Made Interstate
Commerce Commission.
MANY CARS ARE NEEDED
Government Will Advance 125
Millions for Purchase of
New Rolling Stock.

Washington, May 21.-Temporary
disposition of the $500, ,000, 900 revolv-
ing fund, provided by the transpor-
tation act for relief of railroads was
made today in orders issued today by
the interstate commerce commission
which at the same time took steps
to meet future equipment needs of the
carriers by proposing organization of
an equipment corporation with a cap
ital stock of S500.000,000.
Recent suggestions of the associa-
ton of railway executives were fol-
lowed closely in apportioning the
funds, but the commission confronted
the railroads with the necessity of
making .the largest possible contribu-
tions" to meet the sums advanced by
the government.
The commission said it would not
follow any arbitration method of al
locating the money, but would attempt
to divide it so the whole country would
benefit by improved transportation
service.
AS to the equipment trust, the COM
mission proposed that the roads should
take stock in it equalling 25 per cent
of the cost of the equipment with
money advanced by the government
up to $125,000,000. The remaining rs
per cent would be financed through
trusts placed on equipment to be built.
Other recommendations for the dis
bursement of the revolving fund pro-
vided in the transportation act were as
follows:
Temporary reserve for claims and
judgements s4O,0oo,00o; appropriation
for short line railroads s12,000,000; tenn
porary reserve for maturities s50,000,
900; appropriation. for additions and
betterments which will promote the
movement of cars $73,00o,0o0.
New equipment required by rail-
roads to meet minimum needs is esti-
mated by the interstate commerce COM
mission at 2,000 locomotives and 10O,-
900 freight cars, including 10000 re-
frigerator cars. The commission est-
mated that equipment already ordered
and to cost s125,o00,000 represented
probably less than % per cent of that
needed.
"It is evident" the committee state
ment says, that the equipment re-
quired properly to meet the transpor-
tation needs of the public cannot be
secured unless the carriers themselves
assume the burden of financing the re-
naming rs per cent.

ADDS
TO EARLY DATA
Declares Sims Charges Before
Committee Were Not Confined
to Beginning Of the War.

Washington, May 21.-Secretary
Daniels today accused the senate sub
committee investigating Rear Admira
Sims charges against the navy de-
partment's conduct of the war with
having exceeded its powers in going
outside the original controversy over
naval war decorations. The commit
tee, Mr.. Daniels told Chairman Hale
had given Admiral Sims an opportu-
nifty to make an OBSERVATIONS" presen-
tation Of his charges when it required
him to produce his letter of criticism
to the department.
The secretary appeared to undergo
cross examination on his direct tes-
timony, concluded yesterday. After
Chairman Hale in a preliminary state
ment, had stated that Admiral Sims
criticisms were impersonal and aimed
at responsible heads" and not at the
navy as a whole, Mr. Daniels turned
the tables on the senator and question
ed Mr. Hale regarding features of the
Sims letter He challenged the chair
man to show by reading from the let
ter that it referred, as Mr.. Hale had
said, to the first few months OF the
war.
In reply the chairman read from the
Sims letter and testimony at great
length, but Mr.. Daniels insisted that
nothing had been read showing that
Admiral Sims confined his charges TO
the first few months.
Secretary Daniels declared Admiral
Sims had charged Admiral Benson
former chief of naval operations with
lacking the "will to win"
Senator Hale replied that the charse
was not directed at Benson, put at
the man who had the final RESPONSE
bility.
"who do you mean?" asked secre-
tary Daniels.
"He referred indirectly to the chief
of naval operations and directly to tne
secretary of the navy" replied the
chairman.
"And in view of that you still main
+.in there were mo personalities IN
the Sims letter." asked the secretary.
"Yes," replied the chairman. ina'

Public Schools.

Des Moines, Ia, May 21.-Establish-
ment of a religious educational sys-
tenn that will parallel the public school
the report presented by the committee
Of Sunday schools to the Methodist
general conference in session here
The report asks that the committee be
given exclusive jurisdiction in the mat
ter of week day religious education.
The latest plan for unification of the
Methodist Episcopal church, north and
south, considered by special COM
mittee of the general conference last
night suggests a joint general conven-
ton, to be composed of not less than
two hundred, and not more than four
hundred, one-half to be laymen and
one-half to be ministers. Before this
body would be laid all plans for uni
fication.
! 1t is proposed that no plan be sub
mitted which does not have the entire
approval of the representatives Of each
church. The Methodist Church south
is asked to determine the exact mum =
Der to be sent by each church to the
Joint convention and the Methodist
Episcopal church will be bound by
their decision.
The report provides for a special
session of the general conference at
such time as the joint convention is
ready to report plan of unification.
The report closes with reaffir1na-
ton of the opinion of the Methodist
Episcopal church that the two churches
would be reunited and declared the
Methodist Episcopal church ready to
accept any plan which is satisfactory
to both churches.

MARINE POLICY
BILL IS PASSED
Provides for Sale of Government
Ships to American Citizens
as Soon as Possible.
TO PROBE WAR PROFITS
Harris Resolution Will Be Taken
Up By Senate, Republican
Leaders Announce.

Washington, May 21.-The senate
without a record vote today passed
the house merchant marine bill pro-
viding for permanent merchant ma
rine policy.
The bill provides for the sale of
government owned ships to American
|citizens or corporations as soon as ad-
fsable. and pending such sale. for

ment or under lease. A permanent
board of seven members would be an
pointed by the president, comprising
two each from the Atlantic and Pa
cific coast, one each from the Gulf and
Great Lakes, and one from the interior.
Continued outcry in the senate
against profiteers brought matters to
a head there today when the republi-
cans promised that a resolution intro
duced by Senator Harris, democrat of
Georgia six months ago, calling for
corporation income and excess profit
tax returns, would be taken UP tomor-
row for action. Republican Leader
Lodge said he saw no reason why with
certain amendments it should not be
passed.
The house also saw legislative guns
trained on profiteer, Representative
King, republican, Illinois, introduced a.
bill to prohibit the federal reserve
banks from renewing loans or re-dis-
count commodity notes, drafts or bills
which he said, would force boarded
commodities on the market.
