"They lay to the situation in the Near East does not lie in the hands of the dignitary, or in the hands of the soldier, but in the hands of the missionary," said Dr. Paul Harrison, for twelve years a medical missionary in the Near East, in speaking at concession this morning.
J. Stitt Wilson, of Berkeley, Calif., who was announced as the speaker of the morning, was prevented from coming by illness.
Hotbed of Race Prejudice
wrote,
"The Tate hate the Greeks, the Greeks hate the Armenians, the Armenians in turn hate the Jews, what the Jews hate them all," said Doctoor Harrison. "The whole community hates the Jews." He next step of measure and race riots.
Turks a Misunderstood People
"We Americans have always been led to think that the Turk is the instigator of all massacres. But at one time the Greeks hold the upper hand, and consequently it befile them to will the subject." That time is forgotten as a result of the disease, and a result his lands are quickly mortgaged and forceclosed, his production is hitherto for about one-third of its value. Every once in a while he will tire of honour all of his people and start to torture them by conquest.
"Thus far we have contended ourselves with the idea that the extermination of the Turk will autocratically end the Near East problem It is absolutely necessary for us to get away from that spirit before we will ever be able to end the Nean Eastern war of extermination."
"Along with the suffering and distress occasioned by the Great War, there arose a hope that a new day was about to break over the whole Near East. President Wilson's tenure points were looked upon as a sort of divine revolution. They believed that out of the West, when the war was over, a more brotherly relationship would come.
People Disillusioned
"Disillusionment came and the people were left with all confidence in the past gone, all hope for the future destroyed. Unscrupulous European diplomats, Bolshevist propagandists Nationalists in every state, and Turkish patriots, helped to create the charistic situation," said Dr. Harrison.
"The triumph of European politicians was short lived, since no European state had the money to waste on imperial ambitions in the Near East. European forces gradually withdrew from the Near East and left the National League in the Near East. The nationalists ago came the turkish of Turkey, and now the Turk is the dominant figure in the Near East.
America's Work Praised
"The finest thing that America has done for decades in her rescue of the Near East in the past four years. It is imperative that she continue her efforts to take care of those people.
"Educational institutions must be established to teach them how to live," Dr. Harrison insisted. "Medical missionaries must be sent to convince them that western civilization has elements of value. Christian missionaries must be sent to set up small but genuine Christian municipalities, whose example will transform the Near East, the political and diplomatic situation must not be interfered with. The greatest civilizing force lies in the hands of the finest kinds of missionaries.

Hempel to Sing Tonight At Robinson Gymnasium

Dean Dyer Compiles Recommendation File For K. U. Graduates
All Junior and Senior Men Asked to Give Necessary Information. Soon
A permanent file of recommendation of K. U. men students is being compiled in Dean Lyber's office. It is to have a permanent place in the University and its object is to have an account of each man, who is graduated.
"Every day this University is called upon for recommendations of former students," said dean Iyer who is managing this new system. "Sometimes the students give the University of Hannah as a reference and often we have only an inadequate record to which to recommend the student. We presentations of huge numbers of former students on the University for the best man of the upperclass, but we must have the proper and correct information before a careful recommendation can be made."
The office has an adhoc adequate information of many of last years seniors. This year it is hoped that there will be a complete record of every senior's progress. This opportunity is also offered to the junior men.
Dean Dyer asks that all junior and senior men meet with him sometime in the near future, at his office in Fresher, in order to obtain complete information. In case there should be any cause for recommendation at any time, this record would always be on file in the Dean's office.
Under this method the student fills out a card concerning himself, his education, his parents, their occupation, and so forth, also giving names and addresses of ten persons by whom he includes faculty members, students and non-university persons. Ten persons are corresponded with and their opinions recorded along with the University record of the student. Thus when a recommendation is called for there may be material from which to make one.
Dean Dyer also urges the faculty to send in a list of students who have particularly attracted their attention during the last semester. This will also be kept on file. There are only about one hundred students from last year, but every class from now on will be added yearly 'o the file for future reference.

The strike and a simultaneous walkout of Belgian miners was stated to have no connection with the Ruhr situation, but Germany took part at the occurrence. German leaders pointed out that France during her month's occupation of the Ruhr has occurred about 2 per cent of the coal she would have received had she stayed away.

The George Washington party which was to have been held February 21, will not be given due to the proximity of a game and a basketball game, February 22. The danger to the basketball players due to the impossibility of removing the dandel wax from the gymnasium floor was the reason for the decision of the team.

English Tax Methods Used In United States Could Finance Bonus?
W. F. Rothwell of Chicago Trust Company Thinks Move is Possible
That the federal government could finance a soldier's bonus by using the dramatic taxation methods which are used in England, was the opinion of the Harrison Trust Company, Chicago, in an interview here today. "People of this country do not know the burden of taxation," said Mr. Rowehue, and the firm has even embarked on an effort to enlarge payment a tax of $100 for every motor car that operates.
"The practicability of such a move would be a question for some deliberation and free discussion among the people. Some of the radical minds in the senate seem 15 believe that the government should use the money in payment of the soldier's pay, but that the economic advantage to the nation as a whole, in putting the money into other channels."
Mr. Rohwell stated that government bonds would rise as a result of the payment of the British war debt interest. He said the bond was a slump as a result of the ignorance of general financial conditions on the part of the small investor. Bonds of other nations will also tend to increase because of the lower interest movement," said Mr. Rohwell.
He further stated that the United States has assumed the role of the foremost bending nation of the world. The government has gained this position through the great amounts of loyalty bound to nations that were need.

Driving Of Autos By Students May Be Misdemeanor
Senate Judiciary Committee Provides for Fine or Imprisonment of Motorists
The Van de Mark bill, recently submitted to the Legislature, prohibiting the use of motor cars for recreation purposes by students attending state schools, was approved yesterday in a committee, with a few alterations.
The original bill provided for the expulsion from school of any student who used a motor car for recreation while enrolled in a state school, bu the judiciary committee changed the bill, making it a misdemeanor, an offence of drunkenness or a defence of ten to thirty days, or a fine of $100 to $200, or both.
The bill, as introduced, does not apply to the use of motor cars on the campuses of the various state schools, alone, but probits students using a car at any time, or any place, while enrolled in the school.
Students Weigh the Question
Students interested in the outcome of the bill are already speculating on which they will choose: the hiring of taxchex, or taking a chance on paying taxes. Students are room at three atternity house for a rot in the county jail for a few days.
Opinion on the Hill, among some of the faculty members and students, seems to disfavor the passage of such a bill, and questions its legality. They take the stand that the attention can be best handled by the schools concerned, without aid from the legislature, also that inasmuch as the institutions are public institutions, the right of a student to drive a car off the campus is a personal liberty, which cannot be taken from him by law.
Lindley Wrote to Parents
This University has already taken an interest in the situation, and the Men's Student Council is considering the matter at present. In addition to this, Chancellor Lindsey sent out letters asking that students be prior to the school year, to parents of students, requesting that they use their influence to keep all cars at home, pointing out that students did not need them for school work, and that often the morals of students were impaired through the illegitimate uses of cars. Democracy of the entire student body is by the use of cars by the few, according to the Chancellor's letter.
The request has had some influence, but a complete abolishment of automobiles has not been accomplished as yet. The movement, however, has brought in those who use cars for driving to their respective schools from a distance great enough to necessitate the use of one. The building of social institutions is a manner in which the legislature is attending to come through his bill.
Look For "Jobs" ---Kelly
Qualifications of Good Teachers Are Numerous
"Don't look for positions: look for jobs," advised Dean F. J. Kelly, in his address to students who expect to teach, yesterday afternoon, in Fraser chapel. The appointment committee is not interested primarily in finding places for graduation, but it is necessary the need for capable teachers."
The principal qualities needed by a teacher are: native ability, knowledge of the subject matter, ability to express one's thoughts clearly, efficiency in classroom work, faithfulness in performing classroom duties, co-operation, physical training, and the quality of leadership. These qualities Dean Kelly considers essential to the efficiency of a modern instructor.
"The responsibilities of the modern high school instructor are constantly growing," said Dean Kelly. "He must be able to inspire the high school student so that upon graduation his capacity for work and study will be expanded to meet the growing demands of business."

Alpha Omegas Hear Jolly
Young Doctors Make Important New Discoveries
"The young doctor under thirty-five years of age is the one who really accomplishes things and makes the difference in people's medicine," said D. E. Jolly, instructor in the department of zoology, in his talk "The Young Man and Medicine," given before Alpha Omega honorary degree last evening in Snow Hall.
"As a rule," he continued, "the new departures of medicine have come from men under thirty years of age. In these modern days the education of the young man for medicine is not supposed to be finished until he is at least thirty, so it is easy to understand how many hands he has out of the swaddling clothes of enforced instruction from others."
In speaking of the fame which the doctors of various nations had won for themselves, Mr Jolly said, "Nation can claim superiority in the matter of original investigation. The spirit of genius breathes where it will, and unfortunately it is incommunicable."
The honor roll for the School of Law was announced yesterday by the faculty at the weekly luncheon. A student to be eligible for the honor roll will receive B or B of equal. The roll is chosen by all of the faculty members.

Flu Is Spreading In Student Homes; Hospital Crowded
Precautionary Measures Should be Adopted to Prevent Epidemic From Getting Serious
The influenza epidemic continues to rage in the student district since its beginning in December and the student hospital and dispensary remains in a crowded and congested condition.
"We find the cases to be of a very mild form," said Miss Ehiel L. Peacock, superintendent of the student hospital, "but this is no reason why every precautionary measure should not be taken by everyone to prevent infection." For example, for there is the danger of it becoming more critical and a chance of its going into pneumonia, although we have had no cases of pneumonia yet.
Epidemic Spreading .
"We have been expecting the epidemic to reach the peak and start on the decline, but so far it has continued to increase and every day we are unable to accommodate students at school. We are also put under a duel, due to the lack of room. Tuesday, eight students examined in the dispensary had a temperate of more than 102 degrees, but we were compelled to and then them home when they should have been taken into the hospital with medicines and instruct them as to their care, but that is all we can do." continued Miss Peacock.
One of the doctors and several of the nurses have an attack of the flu." The epidemic is not only found among the students, but all over Lawrence and all over the country. The symptoms vary greatly. Chills, sed colds, sore throats, and aching joints are some of the symptoms.
Twenty in Hospital
At present twenty cases of influenza are in the hospital and as one case is dismissed another is immediately taken. The three isolated cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria that were there several weeks ago have been dismissed and at present there are no isolated cases.
So far this year the student hospital has taken over 250 patients for treatment and care. This is against a total of 278 for the nine months last year. In the dispensary 5,540 treatments and examinations have been given to the students of the University, and nearly 1,000 of these have been since the beginning of the second semester.
Every possible means is being used to accommodate bed patients. Last year the nurses roamed at the hospital, but this year they are rooming elsewhere, thus affording more room for patients.
