P GODSTONE, Surrey. England,
May 7. (AP). -.-Former Crown
Prince Carol of Rumania who Is
on a visit here is ready to take
-V-tile political burdens of his
lountry. He confirmed tortav the
ssuance of bis manifesto which
be declared is a complete outline
of his policy for the future gov

ed that he would return to assume
the throne and put bis ideas into
force at the first call of his peo-

The disturbed state of affairs in
Rumania, the march of the peas
ants of Albajulia, Bucharest and
other cities, has stirred the son of
the late King Ferdinand into ac
tivity. Talking with the Associat
ed ?ress correspondent he admit
ted that copies of his manifesto
had been sent to America some
time ago to await word for distri
bution which was given Saturday.
Friends Here Claimed
"I have had no financial assist

"but I have strong support; there.
It is possible that. if my plans fail
I shall Tisir America."
Ojfhe general question of his
position, he went oa to explain; :

Introduction of the activity -period

not needed for activities, it would

Tbe most serious criticism, the

Political Activities In Attempt to
Gain Throne Given As Re
son For Verdict
LONDON, May 8. (Tuesday).
(AP) The London Mail today
says that the British government
has decided to ask Prince Carol of
Rumania to leave England. The
prince had beeu visiting at a coun
try estate in Surrey for the past
week.
Carol yesterday admitted re
sponsibility for a manifesto print
ed in London which declared that
he awaited only a call from "Ru
mania to assume its throne in
place of his young son, , King
Michael.
In an earlier edition the news
paper bad said that the British
government had warned Carol
that he must abstain from intri
gue while in this country.
Late editions of other London
morning newspapers, also said that
the British government had decid
ed to request Carol to leave the
The Mail sava that this decision
was reached after a conference be
tween officials of the foreign of
fice and home office. A Scotland
Yard officer was sent to God
stone, where the prince was visit
ing, but found Carol was attend
ing a moving picture performance
in London
Later, the newspaper says, the
assistant commissioner of the
metropolitan police, and two other
high police officers motored to
Godetone. The prince returned at
midnight and saw the officers.
The Mail quotes the prince as
saying afterward that he was sur
prised that the government had
disapproved of his activities here.
The action upon which the Bri
tish government has decided, ac
cording to the newspapers, would
be in accordance with tne usual
procedure when a foreigner has
used Saglish territory as the cen
ter of. intrigues against a friendly
government. This is what Carol
and hio advisers are accused of do
ing by their manifesto.

While wars and rumors of wars

Hamong the nations, particularly
those of Europe, is in the direc

(AP A dispatch from Tsinan,

day reported that an American
missionary was among those slain.
during the Chinese- Japanese
fighting at Tsinan.
TOKYO. May 7. (AP) Se
vere fighting between Japanese
troops and Chinese nationalists
was resumed at Tsinan tonight.
It was stated that the Chinese
were the aggressors, having at
tacked the Japanese who were
guarding the foreign commercial
area. The attack was said to have
been in defiance of the agreement
made with the Chinese command
ers. SHANGHAI, May 7. (AP)
Tbe situation at Tsinan was seen
in a new light here today with
the dispatches from the Shantung
city that an airplane bomber of
the northern forces was brought
down by the Japanese. The plane
had been engaged in bombing the
foreign settlement, the dispatches
said.
This was the first report of ac
tive hostilities between the Jap
anese in Shantung, and the north
erners, and followed by only three
days an offer by the Peking war
lord, Chang Tso-lin, to aid' the
Japanese in their fighting at Tsin
an
The offer, summarily refused
was received with more or less
rigorous protests by the Peking
ese, against continued Japanese
occupation of Shantung provinces
Tsinan itself was said id such
reports as penetrated to the but
side world, to be comparatively
quiet with only desultory kJbting.
The list of known murdered Jap
anese increased from seven to:3.
with 28 others missing of whom
two are believed to have been
murdered.
Fighting has almost entirely
ceased with the withdrawal of the
nationalist troops and the arrival
oi reinforcements tor tbe belea-

ed the dispatch of-still more war
ships to Chinese ports and the
sending of an airplane carrier to
Tsingtao. this latter presumably
to provide a base for air opera

tion broaden out.
ROAD SAID NOT NEEDED
S. P. Opposes O. E. Proposed Con
struction to Lebanon
Construction of a railroad from
Albany to Lebanon By the Oregon
Electric company would be a waste
of funds in that the Southern Pa
cific company already has a line
connecting the two cities.
This was set out in a petition
filed recently with the Interstate
commerce commission asking per
mission to intervene in the appli
cation of the Oregon Electric com
pany for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity.
The railroad from Albany to Le
banon and thence east was pro
posed by the Linn County Log
ging and Lumber Railway com
pany. The Oregon Electric com
pany later was substituted for the
logging concern.
The Southern Pacific company
alleged that Its service between
Albany and Lebrfon Is adequate
to handle all shipments between
those two points, and that the con
struction of the proposed new rail-roadwouldmeanunwarraneddup-road
would mean unwarranted du
plication. A copy of the petition filed with

FAMOUS FLUNK
NOW REPEATED
SOPHOMORES THAT BROKE IN
TO PRINT NOW SENIORS
And Finally Cot Outing That Was
Denied For Two Years By
Faculty
One sunshiny morning about
'wo years ago. Salem suddenly
roke into front page prominence
.11 over the United States, all be
cause of the activties of a partic
ilarly lively sophomore class at
Willamette university.
These boys and girls, as they
were at that time, couldn't see
why juniors and seniors were en
titled to a "flunk day," but soph
omores were not. And they pro
ceeded to hold one or at least,
part of them partly succeeded.
Upperclassmen, incensed at the
infringement on one of their tra
ditional perquisites, immediately
took steps to defend their rights.
and in a measure they were suc
cessful. By the time the faculty got in
its work, the sophomores had lit
tle but the glory of achievement to
comfort them, for in addition to
losing certain quality hours for
"insubordination," they were pro
hibited from holding a flunk day
the next year.
The battle that raged between
the sophomore and upperclassmen
on that day was so heated that it
broke into print all over the na
tion, aided somewhat by the fact
that certain newspaper correspon
dents did not pepnit the story to
lose anything in The telling.
The people of Salem who do not
keep close track of events at Wil
lamette, may not realize it, but
those insubordinate sophomores of
yesteryear are about to don caps
and gowns and march out of chap
el to the strains of Paul Irvine's
closely guarded song, "Farewell
Willamette."
And today this is what this
story is all about, for thoe who
have read it down to this pjint
the aforesaid famous class that
broke the flunk day tradition, is
enjoying its second, and only
euthorized, flunk day. The mem-i
bers departed at 4:30 o'clock this
morning for parts unknown. They!
