  Chen and Dohm predicted theoretically in 2004 that the widely believed
universality principle is violated in the Ising model on the simple cubic
lattice with more than only six nearest neighbours. Schulte and Drope by Monte
Carlo simulations found such violation, but not in the predicted direction.
Selke and Shchur tested the square lattice. Here we check only this
universality for the susceptibility ratio near the critical point. For this
purpose we study first the standard Ising model on a simple cubic lattice with
six nearest neighbours, then with six nearest and twelve next-nearest
neighbours, and compare the results with the Chen-Dohm lattice of six nearest
neighbours and only half of the twelve next-nearest neighbours. We do not
confirm the violation of universality found by Schulte and Drope in the
susceptibility ratio.
