William Herbert Carruth, late professor of German language and literature at the University, gained for himself a wide distinction as a poet during his years in Kansas. In 1918, the climax of the first World War, he wrote and distributed privately this poem entitled "A New Earth," which is as fitting today, as our armies invade the European continent, as it was at that time.
A NEW EARTH (A hymn for 1917-18)
God of the Nations, Father Thou Of all earth's children near and far.
We raise to Thee our solemn vow, Who blindly tread the grapes of war.
Lest we should pay the cost in vain. This curse shall never come again
Higher the cost than thought can reach;
Ages of suffering on its brow. With groanings past all human speech
The whole race travaille till now,
Even at this last to bring to birth
Out of the centuries dim and dumb
This be the healing remnant-
word:
From blood a new and better earth.
As saviors of the world we come,
Peace in one hand, in one a sword,
Through war the world from war to
free
No hatred in our souls we bring;
With bleeding hearts we wield the
rod.
in universal liberty
And through our battle-cry shall ring
The high and chastening wrath of God.
One world-wide human brotherhood.
*?Neath which we seek one only good—*
Heron Nests Found In Trees Near Town
According to C. D. Bunker, curator at Dyche museum, a colony of Great Blue Heron has been located on a farm southwest of Lawrence. The colonies are rare in this vicinity because of the lack of tall timber and the crowded condition of farms.
The farm on which the colony or rookery was located belongs to Fred Derby of Topeka. Friday morning Mr. Derby asked Mr. Bunker to check the identity of the birds. They were accompanied by Prof. @. W. Hibbard, also of Dyche ruseum.
They found nine nests high in a large sycamore tree. Each nest consisted of a platform constructed of a few sticks, and contained young herons, about the size of a crow. Mr. Derby reported that there were only five nests in the tree last year. He has an ideal game refuge and is interested in protecting wildlife on his farm.
German Terms Event As Roosevelt Stunt
Stockholm (INS)—Berlin's Wilhelmstrasse spokesman simplified the whole invasion drama in a characteristic manner today. It's all a Roosevelt propaganda stunt for re-election, he said, and that the Chief Executive called on Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to whip up the fourth term election by ordering the invasion of Europe. "No one can say when the drama will reach its climax, but there is no doubt of German victory.
Rock Chalk Talk
By LIZ BAKER
Pee Wee Paradcs Again — Living up to a well-established rep, the Pee Wee Kansan, delivered last night at the annual Kansan Board banquet, gave out with some juicy fruit worth noting.
Here are some samplings:
Society — "the week's festivities have been lousy as usual—except for the dance last Friday night which proved that mantraps have a certain value. In fact, a surprising number of coeds had dates."
Corbin look-alikes, Jean and Jane Jones, were limelighted in the wedding news: "Jones Twins Get Hitched Finally" — the sisters married yesterday . . . could be distinguished at the impressive ceremony for Jane wore a light blue garter while Jean chose dark blue."
Rock Chalk Talk — "Bra, Bra, Black Sheep: Charles 'Flame' Mofet . . has been named 'Father of K.U. Journalism' by women in the department. 'Flame's influence has been far-reaching, coed journalists emphatically declare."
Navyman's query about DG Carol Stuart: "If I tell her she has a beautiful figure, will she hold it against me?"
Excerpt: "She may be a wallflower, but she's a dandelion in the grass."
Unitarians Will Hold Last Service Sunday
The final worship service of the year to be held at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 11, by the Unitarian church will be an outdoor service at the farm of W. E. Koehring, 15th Street, east of town. The service will be followed by a picnic, Dr. Homer A. Jack, minister has announced.
Edwin F. Price will read Goold's drama, "The Quest Divine," to the members of the student class of the First Methodist church at 9:45 a.m. Mr. Price will also discuss "What Vocational Outlook Now?" at 6 p.m. at a meeting of the Wesley Foundation Fellowship.

Thomas will lead the discussion, "Liberty to the Captives," at the student class for servicemen and civilian students at 9:45 a.m. At the morning worship service Ernest L.

And Here's One about the Bat Who Came to Dinner — Seeing a bat lying on the ground, Ala Bollier, Ricker hall, picked it up and took it home. Thinking it was hurt, she took it to the kitchen, and fed it a little milk, just to give it strength. Dinner was ready about then, and in walked hungry Marjorie Amend and Colleen Jones. Equally hungry Ala tenderly lay down the bat, and walked to the dinner table, with good intentions.
Thanks given, the girls dived into the food. Bearing a striking resemblance to the well-known "B. out of H," the bat started swooping around the room. Marjorie and Colleen screeched, and made a rush for the door. Alameda, to the rescue, grabbed a paper sack, caught the bat with a well-maneuvered surprise attack, and threw it out the door. Marjorie and Colleen solemnly waked back in; the three sat down once more, and made the most of a slightly batty meal . . .

Letters Tell Story Of Battles
Letters from two K.U. students, written thousands of miles apart, have met at the office of the Alumni Association and together give a picture of scenes on two of the main battle areas in the news today.
Ens. J. P. Elden, a graduate of the School of Business in 1941, wrote from New Guinea. He told of the groves of coconut trees, all of which have been cut off, or broken off, at a height from nine to 15 feet by machine gun fire.
"Shell and mortar holes have filled with water and the mosquito population has doubled overnight," he said. "Jap dead were buried, as usual, by bulldozers in long trenches and the loosely packed ridges are very plainly visible all around."
In visiting one of two Jap pill boxes not demolished, Ensign Elder said that he found it very "cozy." "It had a radio there and several easy chairs," he explained.
"Not more than 100 yards from all this mess is a white sand beach that would make the Florida Chamber of Commerce have nightmares. But then, New Guinea is all very beautiful," he added. Elden described the water as "blue as Dinah Shore's songs" and the sky, "clear except for S. D. Flora's 'scattered clouds,' that are so billowy and white that I suspect they came all the way from Kansas."

Applications for the Edna Oborne Whitecomb scholarship for next year for women English majors are now being accepted, Prof. Josephine Eurnham of the English department and chairman of the Whitecomb scholarship committee, announced today.
To be eligible for the award the student applying must be a self-supporting undergraduate woman with an English major and with an interest in creative writing. Any student wishing to apply for the award for next year is asked to see Professor Burnham, Prof. Sara Laird, or Prof. Lulu Gardner, all of the English department.
"Some find little left, not even four walls," he added. "What 'Jerry' didn't destroy, we did by our incessant shelling in routing the enemy from their well-protected dugouts, and fox holes, and even portable steel or iron machine-gun nests. 'Jerry' uses all natural camouflage accommodations," he said.
