The emergency decree enormously
curtails the vital civic rights an
chored to the German constitution.
Basing the action on article 48 of the
constitution, enabling the President to
take dictatoriaI measures when "se-
curity and order are threatened" the
decree curtails the personal rights Of
citizens such as the freedom of speech,
the invtolability of homes, freedom
OF the press, secrecy In the mails, the
right to meet when unarmed, the right
to form associations, or own property.
Public announcements of political
gatherings must be confined to the
barest facts. Newspapers infringing
upon the terms of the decree may be
suspended for eight weeks, and other
publications may be suspended for six
months.

cree" the old timers eloquently claim.

days of the former kaiser.

a BLIZZARD in Rocky mountain
"A and plains states took toll of
eleven lives, including five children,
two men and a woman in Colorado.
Scores were in serious condition
from frostbite and exposure.
Thousands of cattle persisted in a
wide area including Wyoming, Colo

part of the storm area. peach, april

ruined.

Maude Moser. the teacher, ended
classes because of the storm. Carl
Miller arrived to take the pupils to
their homes in the school bus. Miss
Moser started to walk to her home.
There were twenty-five children in
the bus when Miller started, all be-
tween the ages Of eight and thir-
teen.
Three miles from Pleasant Hill the
bus plowed into snow drift ten feet
deep and stalled. Outside the mass
of falling snow was a curtain, OBJ
securing the road. tracks and cover
ing fences. Miller tried to back
toward the school but could not get
the wheels of the bus free from the
drift.
After remaining with the children
for many hours, Miller realized he
must get aid or all would perish. In
the driving storm he started out,
thinking he could reach farmhouse.
Struggling on for more than three
miles he fell exhausted in cornfield
and persisted.
Five of the children were dead

Cornell, Dartmouth Hook-up
With Yale, Princeton and
Harvard Hinted.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n 7 EW YORK, February 49,
IN There was a report today
1 Y that the Yale-Princeton
agreement to play the Sat-
urday after Thanksgiving day in
alternate years has some subtle
reference to a hook-up between
Dartmouth and Princeton and the
ultimate formation of a 'big
FIVE" which will include Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and
Cornell.
While this may be casting too far
ahead, one thing is certain and that
is that game with Dartmouth would
be very welcome by Princeton men and
by Dartmouth men Throughout the
country
1t is even reported that Princeton
and Dartmouth might get together next
Fall on the date in the middle Of No
vember which had been reserved for
the meeting with Yale. But whether
| has the Stanford game at the Harvard
Stadium in late November-would
make such game feasible in Dart
mouths eyes and whether or not
Princeton would want hard contest
at that time may not be said.
| AS to anything in the way Of an
annual relationship between Dartmouth
and Princeton, the question of a play
ing field might be q tough obstacle TO
overcome. Dartmouth might, probably
would, want Princeton to play in New
York every alternate year at least.
| She would not visit Princeton annually
ana Hanover coud not produce crowd
sufficient to make the game econ
| omically advisable for Nassau
Talk that the Yale Princeton move
may result in Harvard and the Tigers
/ playing foot ball at an earlier date
than seemed likely is being discounted
by Harvards attitude toward Yales
action in putting the Harvard game
before the Princeton contest every other
| year.
1t is evident that unofficial Harvard
reaction to the move has not been
favorable and while this reaction may
not extend to Princeton, 1t Is logical
to expect that it may.
