Declares It Will Lower Standards and Alien ate Desirablo Men FEMINIST PICTURE PAINTED The Pennsylvnnlan, the students' daily newspaper published nt the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, came out flatly today In opposition to coeducation there. An editorial held up the possibility of the men slipping down the fire escapes four years hence, while tho girls crowd the stairways, exulting in their victories over Smith nnd Ilryn Mawr Collcgo in tho "Big Three Mandolin contest." Tho expression was the result of letters written to the Pcnnsylvaninn by students who have revived the ques tion of coeducation at the University. References were made to the bequest some years ago which would ultimately provide a Bennett College for women nt Thirty -fourth and Walnut streets. Tho Pcnnsylvanlan's View The cdltorlnl follows : "Every onco in a while there arises in some form or another the old agi tation about co-education. This time it wan the Campus Query column that started the contention. Since several prominent undergraduates cxnrcssetl themselves rather forcibly on the sub- jvti., tvu imiu ivi'i-ivi-u sevurui cuuimuui catlons about tho matter. "Lot us make oUr own position on the point clear. Wo are absolutely op posed to co-cducatlon at the University of Pennsylvania. Noto well that we do not say we nre opposed to co-cducn-tlon in general and we do not sny we arc opposed to higher education for women. In many cases we aro not even opposed to co-eds. , "But it is our belief that co-education ns an institution In Pennsylvania is n thing which will ultimately lower the standing of the University. We have nlways boon a college recognized as a leader throughout the world nnd famous for the men wo turn out. The ndoptlon of general co-educatlou would seriously endnncer thin imsltlnn nn,l mako' Pennsylvania less1 attractive to the type of men we want. Many .More Co-eds "From the scnttered few who were here before tho war the number of co-ed matriculates has jumped by leaps nnd bounds, until todny tho number of co eds und the number of men In the three undergraduate departments are virtually cquul. "What is the answer? The Ben nett College for Women? All right; hut let s see the co-eds safely ensconced in their own private school before their position becomes so firm that tho Whar ton School will admit them. "Do you realize that if the co-eds keep coming here In such rapidly in creasing numbers In four years there will bo 12,000 of them around, nnd then the few remaining men will be com. jmH cd to uho tho Logan and College Hall fire-escapes whilo their sisters inurrli up and down the stairs hIiirIiib. Lome nil yo loyal co-eds now, from hall und cumpus too.' in celebration of the victory over Smith nnd Hryn Mawr in the Big Three mandolin contest." Girl .Students Indignant Girl students did not try to hide their indignation otcr tho editorial and the letters written by the men. "The editorial is unfair," said Dor othy M. olff. n sophomore In tho school of educntlon. "There Is no rea son why co-eds should be excluded. As for tho Bennett College for women, it will not come before I graduato and I prefer present conditions to those planned for tho Bennett College." Helen Crawly, n school of education junior, said she saw no reason why co-eds should be barred from tho Uni versity. She snld sho thought present conditions better than they would bo lit the proposed college for women. "Wo probably would not get all the courses we wanted," she said, "not even as many as we have now. I would like to sco all departments of the Uni versity open to co-eds, for they want many more courses than they can now obtain " Another girl student said Philadel phia girls have only three colleges to choose from: Bryn Mnwr, Swnrthmorc and Pennsylvania, unless they want to go far from homo.

Steel Corporation Gets Tip From Confucius This Ideogram of Confucius, con fusing as it may seem, Is the clear cut symbol of tho "Golden Bute" y which Elbert II. Gary ryij 'oil Monday announced 5r" ns tho policy of the jfnJ. United States Steel '& ' Corporation. The char acter is "shu" and the Steel chief decldqd that the "shu" fits the pres ent Industrial need. The character means "my heart In sympathy with yon," and perhaps the modern saying of "Have a heart" is evolved from It. Mr. Gary said tho corporation has n soul or heart. (Anyhow, it Is A hearty financial concern.) Ho ndded that a soul "is a controlling Influence possessed by Individuals, corporations or states, which recognizes as of equal impor tance the rights, Interests and wel fare of themselves with all others."

AWAY FROM HOM E TO SCRAP TREATY Franco May Get More Teuton Territory in Rewriting of Pact VIOLATIONS BY GERMANY PAVE WAY FOR ACTION' By CLINTON W. GILBERT StnlT Corrrxpondmt, Rrenlnr Public littr Copvrioht, tm, bv rubUo LcAocr Co. Washington, April 20. Tho news from Europo indicates thnt tho Allies are preparing to scrap the Versailles treaty so far, ns suits their purposes just ns this country Is. Tho administration's position Is thnt ns this country has nevor'iicccptcd that treaty It has not surrendered is rights ns n cobelllgcr'cnt. .It apparently means to ucccpt such portions of the trenty ns servo its interests nnd to write supplementary agreements which will protect interests which President Wilson disregarded or perhaps surren dered nt Paris. France, having accepted the treaty, is not frco to extend its claims upon tho sarao technical bnsls as the United States. Its contention will apparently bo thnt Germany hns violated tho Ver sailles pact anil that thcrcforo France may press fdrwnrd claims which she abandoned nt tho Paris conference, being no longer bound by a treaty which Berlin has broken. It is to bo, noted that the reparations commission's demand for the placing of the gold of the Gcrmnn Rclchsbank in the occupied nrea or its surrender outright to the Allies Is coupled by thu official suggestion from Paris thnt Ger many's failure to comply, which Is ex pected, will be regnrded by France us another violation of the Vcrsnillc,s treaty by Germany, such ns will justify France's further occupation of German territory. The French1 Government maintains that there have been several violations of the treaty by Germany, of which another nnd serious one will be Ger many s expected failure to pay tho S., 100,000,000 of reparations due on May 1. Franco Believes Herself Cheated On the bnsls of sucli violations. Franco w 11 bo free to consider herself n cobelllgerent whose interests have not been adequately protected nt raris. in l'nris newspaper discussions mucn cm nhnsls Is laid unon this country's ni parent repudiation of President Wilson nnd his fellow commissioners ns our representatives In ending the war. The K!nt is that Franco believes she has been deceived nnd cheated in thinking sue was doming witn uuinori tativo agents of this country nt Paris. France has received nothlnc which Mr. Wilnon promised hor at Pnris. On the contrary, this country W going abend to write n new peace. 1 Dispatches from London lndlcnte thnt France Is being supported by the Eng lish In her nggrcsslvo attitude toward Germany. What appeurs to be n for eign office stntement in the press this morning says thnt the British Govern ment has been "pntlcnt nlmost to a fault" with regnrd to Berlin. The same statement goes on to say that "It Is the same old Germnny with which we hove to deal. Wo nro faced with n government nnd n people very little different, if at all, from those of 1014." No British Troops Avnllablo It Is said that British troops will not co-operate in any French advance into Germany, but it Is explained that the main reason Is that no British troops nre nvailnnlc. 'Tlius Great Britain, or ut least the Lloyd George govern ment, under the lend of France has ap parently changed its nttitude toward Germany. It is no longer seeking com Germany promises and counseling prudence, while winking nt laiiures ot ueruu to live up to the trenty. At the coming confer ence at Hythe the indications ure thnt the British will no longer try to hold tlie French bacK, but will give trance moral support in ner contention that the Versailles treaty hns been violated, leaving the Allies free to take measures for tho protection of their interests. Thus the whole stage is et for the scrapping of tho Versailles treaty by all Its iirorb Important signatories. This country Is mniutatulng that she never ugreed to it nnd Is not bound by what was done by her agents nt Paris. Ger- Continued on Tare Twrnty-four.Coliimn Thrro HARDING TO SPEAK IN N. Y.

The latest sensation in the Legislature, so far as Philadelphia is concerned, has passed nppnrently unnoticed in the turmoil of factional nnd economic sqimbbllng. The Philadelphia delegation has split, nnd split beyond repair, I am told, In the House. From now on until next Thursday the strictly Penrose followers will vote on matters in which the senior senator is or may be interested, without rcf. erence to orders, suggestions or direc tion from any member of the Vare-Cun-ningham-Brown combination. s.JlIlfr,nnu-,Tr 1 ,Io.fin"c Tders is. sued from Washington beyond the In terview with Senator IVnrose In which lie declared himself ut'.Iterobly opposed with the aid of Senator W.

To Ask Senator's Advice I am led to believe that a messenger will visit Washington to se just what Penrose desires the new coterie to do with reference to certain measures. Of course, nil of this will have in cfTeet on certain administration meus urcs. but not enough, I think, to ac complish their defeat. The Grundy-Oliver combination won a decisive vletorj over tlie Leslie-Crow element ill defentlug the nonpartisan I epealer. It was intended to give Senator Max Leslie n new lease of life in Pittsburgh where his power is waning. It was to be the legislative mnnkc.v gland that would restore his anemic political sys tem to its old-time vigor. There lme been some very queer ' stories floating up from Washington during the last twent -four hours. One is that the senior senator is going to , preeipitute a crisis in the closing days of the session and lot k horns with the administration. Politicians who huve visited Wash ington ure responsible for this story. Its doubtfulness is due to tho fact that it is a prettj late day to start a shindy. Most, of the big luliiilniNtratiou meas ure are over the top. Only one of real importance rcuiuin and thut is the welfare department bill, creating u bure.ni to consolidate nil the welfare and charitable Interests of the stale tinder one dlret tins head Senator Pentose hns issued no order publicly ei on this subject, but 111 mouthpieces in various parts of the state are giving iilm i red It for bei lug UgUllINt it An fm appioprintions mid revenue, iHouud which a lot of phai isaleal clap trap is being dispensed, the Governor Informs ine thut they will be taken cure ( inlln nil on I'iiki.
