Huns, Russ, Turks Are Triple Threat To Western Allies
NUMBER 7
Danger of World War in Possible Union of These Peoples—Professor Molvin
"The worst that can come out of the present European situation is the possible union of Russia, Turkey, and Germany," said Prof. Frank E. Melvin, of the department of history, in an interview yesterday on the significance of recent developments in Europe.
"Threats have been made that Germany will eventually throw herself on Russia, a country which is clearly supporting Turkey. The three countries will then unite, and the result will be another World War," he continued.
"The best that can result from the situation is that Germany will back down. France will follow out her plans to invade Germany, attempting by that action to prove to Germany that the Versailles treaty still stands Latest reports seem to indicate that he will then accept the U. S. plan of reparations, outlined by Secretary Hughes in his New Haven address."
Paris Conference Failure? "It is difficult to enter upon a discussion with the president of premiers at Paris without entering, too, upon a discussion of the Lausanne conference," continued Pro-
"It is impossible to predict what may happen as a result of the recent split at Paris. The British premiers parted in an apparently fashion friendly. This fact may possibly be interpreted as an indication that there has been a real breakdown, covered on over the surface.
French Insist on Invasion
French fusset on Invasion
"The basic fact of the French and German invasions was the insistence that the Vorsellais treaty be preserved. She realized that by an invasion of the Ruhr district, she may lose as much as she will gain, but the question with her is more than one of protective guarantees," he ex-
"Again, it may be interpreted as meaning that there has been an agreement between France and England by which England leaves France to her policy in Germany in response to the rising demand of support in the Neer East."
"Germany is really beginning to demand a modification of the treaty, and France's action is an attempt to present a bold front to Germany. She is insisting above all else upon the maintenance of the treaty of Versailles and upon the security of France in the days to come.
"The basic idea in the Lausanne conference is the exaggerated nation- (Continued on Page 3.)
"She realizes, too, that present conditions render impossible her ever getting another Versailles treaty, and that she will never again be given the powers which are hers under the terms of the Versailles treaty. Hence, she is making the most of her opportunity.

University Symphony Gives First Concert In Crowded Chape
The University Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Edward F. Kurtz, gave a concert of classical music, its first of the season last night before an audience widely referred Filler Chapel.
Ably Presents Music of, Great Artists Under Direction of Edward F. Kurtz
Beethoven's "Coriolusan" obervate the opening number, was played via his facility and decision which gave evidence of Professor Kurtz's ability as a conductor, as well as of his musicianship and the responsiveness of the forty-eight members of the organization.
The most interesting and perhaps the most ambitious number on the program was the Bach "Concerto in D Minor" for two violins and orchestra, played by Professors Kurtz and Geitch and directed by Prof. Gustave Soderlun. The two violin parts were excellently done, and the orchestra gave a most creditable reading of the accompaniment.
Probably the most finished number of the evening was the group from "Rosamunde" by Schubert. The "Intraret Neo." 2 and the two ballets were especially well played. The Schubert-Liszt "Hungarian March" formed an impressive conclusion of the concert program.

Legislature Enact Bills Of Import To Code Commission
Pass Laws Relating to Chil
Care and Change Name
of State Institution
at Winfield
An act to license maternity hospitals and homes for children; one changing the name of the State Home for the Feeble-minded at Winfield to State Training School; an act relating to feeble-minded persons; appointment of a commission of physicians to make examinations; and commitment to training school teachers to care for the Children's Code, according to report and recommendations of the Kansas Children's Code Commission made recently.
The Kansas Children's Code Commission was appointed by the governor in 1918 at the request of the division of child hygiene of the State Board of Health. It has been enlisted by many state-wide organizations.
Consider New Laws
In 1921, the following laws in the Code were enacted; An law establishing a Bureau of Child Research with headquarters at the University of Kansas; an act amending the mothers' pension act making the act mandatory and raising the maximum amount which may be granted from the parents; the establishment of kindergarten in catholic schools in cities over 18,500.
The following measures under consideration to be submitted to the legislature of 1923 are: general laws for the protection of children; for the care of defective children; for the care of dependent and neglected children; for the care of delinquent children; for the protection of delinquent health of children; for school attendance and the protection of child workers; for the protection of maternity and infancy, and for the administration of the laws.
Deals with Vital Needs
Dr. Alberta Corbin and Dr. Florence B. Sherborn of the University of Kansas, are members of the executive committee on the Commission. Dr. Sherbon is also on the drafting committee dealing with defective children. Prof. F. W. Blackmar is one of the drafters in the industry in industry, as is also Mrs. George Barker of Lawrence.
The Commission has endeavored to confine its recommendations to the most vital child welfare needs through the state, so that the program submitted might contain only the minimum amount in the way of appropriation.
Mav Oust College Women
They are Charged With Bankrupting Their Families
The women in the Universities are charged with bankrupting their families to maintain themselves in style, having no regard for self-supporting students, coming to college to seek official young men, creating an architecture of themselves distracting the men from their studies with social life.
Certain Stanford and University of California men have become inbued with the Cornell spirit to oust women from the universities. The fight is conducted through the press. The "Stanford Press" started and the "Rasperry Press" of the University of California followed suit.
Pamphlet on City Managers Out John G. Stutz, executive secretary of the City Managers' Association, has prepared an eight-page pamphlet called "The City Managers' Association Information about the purposes of the association, its information services, library services, the City Manager Magazine, association year-books, membership, and annual meetings, and any other organizations available for any persons or organizations interested in city management.
"The men are jealous because the women are beating them in scholarship," is one girl's answer to these charges. Others point out that it is time the men woke up to the fact that they have an exaggerated opinion of their own importance. They charge that the man who is being stepped on, and that if women are looking for eligible young men in college, most of them go away disappointed.
Governor E, Mont Reilly of Porter Rico is slowly recovering, in Kansas City from injuries, which he received there, in an automobile accident. The car in which he was riding was struck by another car.

Arrangements have been made with the French government for Belgian re-enforcements to be held in readiness to proceed to the Ruhr district when they are required. French preparations for an advance are already actively under way at Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Meurheim.
Necessity For Speed Emphasized In Talk By Karl Schlademan
The Kansas inaugural ceremonies were concluded, with a reception and a dance, at the state capital last night.
Endurance May Be Developed But Speed is Needed
"It is speed, speed, and move speed that wins track meets," said Karl Schlidenan, tracch coach at the University of Kansas, spat on the DEAF after a training session.
"It is useless to say that speed wins all running contests, but speed also wins in jumping and weight events. Other things being equal, the athlete who comes down to his take-off the fastest will surely win the pole vault or the broad jump. The high jumper with the sharp, quick spring will win.
"Track athletes are of two types: the boy with abundance of speed but not enough endurance, and the boy with plenty of endurance but not enough speed. The latter type is the more common. Granted the right amount of endurance has been developed, and this is the task of the track coach.
"Conditioning for competition should start at least six weeks before the first meet. Development should be a slow process. A track athlete should never have sore muscles. The surtest way to ruin a track man is to sent him through his event the first few days of practice; he should not burn up his energy in practice; he must never feel tired and neeless.
"The natural suggestion would be that the way to become a good miller is to run the mile rather often. This is a great mistake. Most athletes need at least two days' rest prior to a meet, to be in the best condition for training." The answer effort must always be saved for the week-end meets.
"For runners, here is a good rule: Never run your distance except in a meet. Run, farther, and at a slower pace, about once a week. Spend the rest of the time speeding at distances shorter than your event. Always take one and generally two days' rest just before the meet. Under no circumstance should a jumper or wrestler be too tall for height or distance later than Wednesday when a meet is set for Saturday.
"Training does not end when the athlete leaves the field. He must watch his diet to be careful not to eat anything that interferes with his digestion. Above all things he should know the habits and not eat between meals.
In order that the city of Lawrence may have more water a well is being sunk in the Kaw river bed, north of Cedar Rapids, in the Bridge and Construction Company.
"Finally, the track athlete will find important the mental attitude of the men and the team. Don't worry, and do the best you can."
The well is placed at a depth of twenty-two feet below the surface of "low water" in order that two 16-inch pipe lines may be connected with the low surface nover house and the submerged intake, all of which are reenforced with concrete. The waterway opening on each side will cover the space or forty square feet. The connecting lines are laid down over the depth of two feet, which places the intake below more than seven feet of water. A steel pile constructor's dam is being built to the bridge house.

Delicate Situation Exists In Handling Turkish Problems
Turkey Allowed to Remain In Europe so That Other Nations Might Exploit Her
"The Lausanne Conference is in moving in a very delicate situation in handling the difficulties caused by the Turkish bid for power in the Near East," says Prof H. B. Chubb, "Turkish borders of Europe, allowed to remain there by the great western powers, who desired to exploit the territories in Asia Minor, especially the oil properties in the regions of Mosul and along the southern border of the Black Sea, cut Russia from an open seaport."
A railway system extending from the Persian Gulf to Mosul is a factor in the connection between Britain and India. France has possesses farther to the northwest. Greece has assumed control of a part of Thrace to the west on Constantinople. Turkey was thus allowed the city of Condeaun to be part of it on either side of the strait. As a background for the Lausanne Conference, Professor Chubb has outlined briefly the treaties since the great war. The treaties in 1919 Versilles, St. Germain, and Neully concluded peace terms between the Allied and Axis armies, Austria, and Bulgaria. The treaty of Tristan in 1920 made peace between these powers and Hungary.
Treaty the First Adjustment
The treaty of Sevres in 1920 was
the first adjustment that could be
made between the Allied powers and
Turkey. The United States was
never at war with Turkey, thus
eliminating it as a major parity at Sevres.
Later a Tripartite trenty agreement
was signed among the Allies to
determine the sphere of influence
in Turkey in 1920. The Turko-Greek
war in 1922 ended disastrously for
Greece, causing a forced roadjunction of the treaty of Sevres, arising from the unbending attitude of the Turks gained by their success against the Greek army.
"As a result," Professor Chub continued, "the Conference of November 20, 1922, at Lausanne, Switzerland, was called to offer a settlement with Greece, and the Turkish Nationalistic Government. The object was to determine the control of western Thrace, and establish peace in the Near East. The Turkish position was strong, and Smyrna caused extreme hardship to people of other nations has given rise to a very tense situation. On December 13, the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Curzon, threatened to quit the conference unless the Anger guaranteed protection to Christians.
Ambassador Did Much
Ambassador Chile, the American Observer, has done much toward the success of the Conference, but a breaking point was virtually reached as a result of the failure to get any concessions from Turkey. The last phase of the Conference has been the demand on Turkey to exchange its designator Turkish territory, giving the fight of extirpationality.
To date the Turkish government maintains that Turkish law should bind foreigners in Turkey the same as to the Nationals. Undoubtedly the Turkish delegates are sparing for time in the hope that the separation disputes between France and Britain will disrupt the agreement reached between France and Britain for a solution of the Turkish question.

Jayhawkers Took One More Valley Game Last Night
Teams Battle for Full Seven
Minutes Before Either
Gets a Field
Goal
With flying falls permitted and nothing barred except the toe-hold, the Jayhawk courtors annexed their second Missouri Valley conference game from Ames in a hotly-contested tie in Robin O'Brien Gymnasium last night. If the court had been chalked off, the carriage could easily have passed for a gridiron contest. At one point there were five men—had the play proceeded the letters on the floor. From the time Quiickley the whistle until the gun both teams jumped into it and fought like demons.
Five Minutes Before Goal
For a full five minutes both teams tussled back and forth over the floor, does not being able to effectively communicate with their opponents, and Kansas seemingly with great disconnecting ability. It's a safe wager that the Oreachers took fifteen shots at the hoop before they succeeded in caging the sphere. Then a foul on Bowman gave Greene, the flashy, aggressive Iowa Agile, an opportunity for a charity point and he took it. Followed a few more attempts, and Greene again venerated a point.
Acky Scores First
Seven minutes after the first whistle the Kansans contributed a set-up to their side of the score sheet from the accurate fingers of Ackermann. It was the first field counter of the contest.
A charity flip by Bowman, two field goals by Acky and one by Wulf in the remainder of the half gave the Oraredors a total of nine points, while the Ravens scored nine gliding against the Kansas defence for a lone field counter.
The half ended, Kansas, 9; Ames, 4.
As yet the Kansans were not hitting. They frequently jockeyed about the basket with the Cyclones pressing them close, but with no concrete results. Only Wulf carried the ball into the hoop for a short flip. The rest were comparatively long shots.
Ames Presses Javhawkers
Ames Presses Jaynawker
Ames started the second half of the frances with a field goal which pushed up the wall; 10; then John scored for a beauty xr the center of the court. A foul on Bowman gave the Aggies one more point, but a return call by Quigley even the count.
The Kansas defense was working to perfection. The Ames wonders would seize the ball and dribble and pass down the court like veterans until they hit the Jayshawker wall. There, the team's offense encased to flank the Oreaders and catch the sphere from behind the lines.
Two Field Goals by Black
After a tantalizing amount of bouncing the ball off the backstop and the iron hoop, Kansas finally made a field counter by John's stand. (on page 42)
Too Many Cars At M. U.
Student Motorists Increase Living Costs
"Too many students are bringing cars to school with them," according to Charles Baird, of Kansas City, who is chairman of the board of visitors for the University of Missouri. He lays the blame for the increased cost of living to the motor cars that the students keep while they are in school.
As a result of its investigation of living conditions at Columbia, the board finds that the high costs are due largely to the natural scarcity of rooms in the university, and the board finds that the high costs are spirit of the people to spend more than they really can afford.
"Investigation made in other colleges, also disclose higher costs," says the report, "which are empathizing with students who are driving motor cars that are brought to the various institutions by students coming from other places. This has a tendency to increase the number of students who wish to keep up with the procession."
Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Theta will entertain with a dance at F. A. U. Friday night.
