Indecent" Paper
Publishing.

Because he published and circulated
among the students of George Wash
ington University an unauthorized
paper called the Lash, deemed
by university officials to be lin eX-
ceedingly bad taste and in some cases
positively indecent" John r. Bromell,
graduate student, yesterday was ex-
PEELED from the institution.
Bromell announced he would insti-
tute mandamus proceedings with a
view to compelling the college authori-
ties to reinstate him.
Dean George n. Henning of the
School of Graduate Studies announced
through the office of President Will
liam Mather Lewis that MIR. Bromell
was requested by the dean to with
draw, and that upon his refusal to
do so he was dropped from the rolls
of the university"
The Lash, a small four-page publ
cation, has for its principal purpose,
according to the editor. and as set
forth in an editorial in the paper
itself, "a protest against the exist
ence of the fraternal oligarchy which
dominates all student affairs" at G.

Bromen stated that Dean Henning
had declared. specifically, that the
Lash was untrue, filthy and sacri-
legious." Particular exception was
taken, it is said. to remarks made
about biblical characters. George
Washington, for whom the university
was named, and concerning various
university personages and episodes.
To the casual observer it would
appear that if the aim of the Lash
was to be witty, it has fallen far
short of its mark.

night that Prince Antoine Bibesco is

who is at present in Rumania, will go
to Washington shortly to present his
letters of recall.
The sudden return to Bucharest in
December of Prince Antoine Bibesco
caused a lively discussion in Ru-
manian diplomatic circles. The Ru-
manian papers asserted that differ
ences had arisen between the minister
to the United States and Nicholas Tt
tulesco, minister to Great Britain, who
headed the recent debt funding mis-
sion to Washington, and who is still
in the United States.
While in New York NJ Titulesco

from Washington.
Prince Bibesco's wife was Miss
