Acting under provisions of recent legislation in stead o flaws enacted in 1927, the state fish and game commission will be enabled to pursue its own course in selection and establishment of a state wild game preserve, Secretary Frank O'Connell stated Thursday. Though believed that the board would act immediately to avoid lap sation of a $25,000 appropriation, this was found unnecessary in an at torney general's opinion, as the money involved reverts back to the game fund where it originated, if not used by July 1. With this in view, the governor was authorized to name a committee of three who will negotiate for the purchase of land, not to exceed 4,000 acres, in either Scottsbluff, Banner or 5Iorrill counties. This committee has not been named. Before adjourning Wednesday night, the commission also ordered a hearing on. complains from resi dents of Superior that hundreds of catfish were being killed in the Southern Nebraska Power Co. dam at that place in the Republican river.

Versailles and the "war guilt lie." i The flares of thousands of torches lit up the great central field of the stadium as 50,000 persons stood in impressive silence while a resolution demanding revision of the treaty and protesting the blame laid on the shoulders of Germany was read. Gray garbed members of the steel helmet organization and black and white uniformed corps of cadets formed a solid mass over which floated rows of black, white and red imperial ban ners and the black crossed white flags of Prussia. The vast audience was reverent as the strains of "Deut schland Uber Alles" and other na tional airs sounded over the field. The public meeting in the reichs tag building adopted a long resolu tion charging the German nation still suffered moral ostracism as the result of the Versailles treaty which remains the greatest obstacle to in ternational understanding. Asks Impartial Verdict. The resolution said in part: "Hence the nation demands calling an international commission of ex perts to give an impartial verdict on responsibility for the World war." Resolutions along similar lines were adopted at meetings thruout the country on the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Versailles treaty. University students in Berlin clashed with police and eleven were arrested for obstrucins: traffic. Other wise no violence was reported. President Paul von Hindenburg at tended the special evening service in the Protestant cathedral of Berlin. where Pastor Burghart preached on a text of Saint Paul's, "We are trou bled, yet unafraid: we are oppressed. yet do not perish." There were meet ings of protest everywhere except in the Rhineland. where they were forbidden by the interallied commis sion. 5Iost of them seemed to be order ly, tho students and police fought with firsts and clubs in front of Ber lin university and again at Presi dent von Hindenburg's home. The students protested against an order forbidding demonstrations. Kaiser Spectator from Afar. Former Kaiser Wilnelni was a spectator from afar of the national protest against responsibility for the war in which he was a principal figure. Failure of the reichstag Thursday night to prolong the de fense of the republic act caused a slight flurry in Berlin, for by its terms the former kaiser was sup posed to be definitely excluded from republican Germany at the pleasure of the government. Officials of the Berlin police to day made clear that the law itself "in no way contains a definite re fusal of permission to return to Ger many, but full freedom of decision is left to the German government They pointed out that the reich stag's failure to prolong the law be yond July 22 still left this freedom of decision to the government be cause the former kaiser would have to apply for visas and other papers like any private individual. President Von Hindenburg himself headed the signatories of a state ment which described Friday as "a day of mourning," and denied that Germany was solely responsible for the war. The members of the cabinet also signed the statement. Neither the president nor the ministers, how ever, would appear at protest meet ings. Borders of Heavy Black. German newspapers appeared with borders of heavy black mourning and one Berlin organ. Der Tag. sur rounded scenes from Danzig. Posen, Kattawitz, and Strassburg with bor ders of chains. A huge sxy sign In the west end of Berlin adjured Ger man citizens to unite in repudiation of the "war guilt lie." There was a tenseness in the sit uation which led the government to request that its fuctionaries, high and low, to refrain from joining in the public demonstration, the au thorities fearing unpleasant conse quences.
