Expedition Going to Shanghai Given Little Enthusiasm
Japan Navy Element Would Be Glad to Be Out of Chinese Trouble Altogether
LIBERALISTS PROTEST
By Miles W. Vaughn. '15
No.117
Shanghai, Feb 25—(UP) A fair antimartial report of the extraordinary conditions existing in Japan must include the fact that a strong liberal bloe looks upon the Shanghai expedition with very little enthusiasm.
In fact, very probably the bulk of it civilians, and the so-called navy element, would be glad to be out of it if a war ensued. But we cannot without loss of national prestige.
On the other hand, perhaps more important than any other contributing influence, there are the Oda industrial areas in the Yangtze valley than in Manchuria, and they are the ones who press for an active stand in Shanghai. They felt that the British would compel China to increase the influence of China's anti-Japanese movement.
From the standpoint of one who has studied the situation from its inception to the present crisis in Japan and outside, the fact seems to be that the more or less floundered into the adventure did not forsee the present operation.
Japan Did Not Foresee Conditions
It must be remembered that Japan had some 30,000 nationals in the Shanghai Museum and its interests which national pride, as well at the realistic condition of national interest, had to.
At the outset both the Osaka industrialists and the militants believed mere show of force would be sufficient to accomplish their aim. I don't believe anyone thought the suburban resistance, the Chinese put up was possible.

Alter to Publish Textbook
Laboratory Experiments and Practica Astronomy Material Are Included
The annual Kemper military ball will be held Saturday evening, to which all cadets will be invited to a cadet corps. The K.U. teams will leave Lawrence on a special bus at 1 p.m.
Dinamore Alter, professor of astronomy, said yesterday that he had been invited by the Astronomy Department of Thomas Y. Crowell company to publish his book "An Introduction to Practical Astronomy." About two-thirds of the course is in lectures and one-third is in practical astronomy. It will be published in the University's spring semester classes.
Last semester, astronomy students used this text in mimeography form. The text has been based on Professor Alter's experiences in 20 years of teaching and in it he has attempted to give aid for every difficulty which his students have encountered. Professor Alter said that one feature of the book is that many of its experiments are costly equipment. Approximately $200 worth of equipment will permit small colleges to include a great deal of laboratory work in astronomy, giving courses comparable in value with those Universities which have observatories.
Another feature of the book is that it may be taught by any one having an interest in astronomy, most of the small colleges, the astronomy courses are taught by instructor.

Mr. Radier has ruined the whole works, said Mr. Maier in reference to the proper means of teaching a child to like music. "With a radio in the home, no one ever needs to express himself musically. It doesn't do the child a bit to hear things over the radio. Children must see things through the eyes."

In commenting on the selection of three judges instead of one has as been the base herefore, Deardoff said.

Major-General to Discuss Prevention as Seen by Public Safety Director
'Politics Are Cause of Crime Waves,' Butler Contends
PEACE-TIME IRKS HIM
"Politics are responsible for the crime," Mr. Battier said to D. Butter, who will call at 8 pm tomorrow in the University auditorium on the subject, "Our Crime Probability."
Butler's experience in Philadelphia as director of public safety has given him an unusual insight into the problems of crime prevention. He will draw largely from his experience in the Pennsylvania city for material for his telltale.
After the excitement of the World War, Butler was sent to command Quantion post, but the quiet prestige of his commander killed him. He soon grew tired of pushing buttons and giving orders. He resigned. Butler's life on this platform is one of the lecture platform
Has Had Exciting Life
Butter has always lived an exciting life. He is noted for saying interesting things in unusual ways. That is why he has been in constant trouble.
Lowell Thomas in introducing Butler to the readers of a well known magazine said, "Did you ever meet a stack of fireworks to meet one now. The mere mention of his name should be accompanied by a burst of fireworks or the rattle of fireworks."
"The gentleman whom I have in mind," continued Mr. Thomas, "is a red-headed, freeclef-faced, major-gen-mer, with a haunted leave kave in your eye as you look at him.
'Speaking of Explosives'
"And speaking of explosives," Mr Thomas went on to say, "he has been touching off all his life, all the way from the powder that starts the marine's bullet to the remarks, here and there, where he have reverberated around the world.
"Butter is the very figure of a fighting man stepping out of the smoke of 14 battles—not including the battle of Tombstone, but "But all that smoke of battle and all that roar of rifle and cannot fire isn't bigger and louder than the smoke and air rounded by the things he says. In fact, it seems only to rely on it with a tremendous bang."
Gives Talk on Washington
Chancellor Lindley Speaks at Suppen at Presbyterian Church
"The bi-centennial celebration of the birth of George Washington serves as an excellent stimulus in the revival of interest in personality," said Chancellor Michael G. Basham, the last of four church-night suppers for the First Presbyterian church.
the search for a man who could lead the allied forces, and he was found. "After the war there arose another strong man, strong in his nation, even though we cannot accept all his political ideas. In London recently another individual, whose economic doctrines were so unpopular, revived the attention of the world."
"In much the same way as these world leaders of our time, Washington dominated his period. He was not as good a general as his own assistant, General Green; not as good a financier as Hamilton; not as good an intellect as Alexander, but he was because of that day worked with him, because of his dominating personality."
The Chancellor said early biographies of Washington tried to make him appear hopelessly good, and as a result he mental picture the American people, and of them, with steel engraving in his hands, painted Lincoln, such as was that of Lincoln.
Thomas Edison Will Settled
Disposal of Property Settled Out of Court Peacefully

To Ask Administration for Financial Aid to Pay for Printing of Directory
IN SPECIAL MEETING
The Men's Student Council, meeting last night in special session, voted to continue the printing of the special departmental book authorized Kenneth Scoum, c³², editor of the directory, to ask for new bids for the printing of the supplement. The council, after hearing Sloucm's contract and the printing of the directory, voted that the council was not bound by any agreement between Sloucm and the Journal-World company, and wished them not to present them at the next meeting.
Deficit in Funds
The meeting last night was called to discuss alleged discrepancies in the awarding of the contract last summer and that the contract had been awarded to the council assereted, $173 higher than that of the Douglas County Republican. Slocum, in defending his action, stated that the contract had been awarded to the council and that it would have more staved and better co-operation.
The fact of the higher bid, coupled with the withdrawal of the financial support package caused a deficit in the fund available for the financing of the directory, which the council did not feel qualified to manage. The true facts of the case were known.
The report of *Sloucum* to the council sit night was, according to Russell trobel, 132, president of the council, rarely routine business, since the diary had already been printed and the council was regarding the finance, said be taken.
To meet the deficit, the council pro-
posed to appeal to the administration
of the department for a waiver,
that it would not be able to
elp because of necessary budget re-
To Ask for Aid
"The council intends to ask the administration for help," said Strobel to day, "in the hope that the directory would be able to issue an institutional issued. The council believes that discontinuation of the supplement would not only be a detriment to the school but also to the advertisers. Consequently, we now have no effort to cut expenses."
Investigation regarding the alleged discrepancies of the contract was made Feb. 18, when O. W. Maloney sales manager for the company when the contract was awarded, appeared before the council and gave information concerning the details of the contract. She told that the bid of $580 was 10 per cent lower than in previous years, and that the directory had been brought out on Oct. 11, considerably earlier than this date.
Other business of the council was shelved last night until the regular meeting.

Cleveland, Feb. 25—(UP) - R. J. Nutt, treasurer of the National national committee, declared today in favor of a new constitutional prohibition referendum.
