THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIX
THE 35th SAILED FOUR YEARS AGO
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1922.
And Some Gay Times the Western Boys Had While Wait-in the Docks
THEY DIDN'T LIKE TRIPE
Four years ago yesterday little groups of Kansas soldiers stood silently on the white decks of France-bound transports, and watched the Statue of Liberty in the distance as they stepped past. Sandy
One Bunch of the 137th Made a Raid on the Mauretani's Kitchen
NUMBER 140.
The 35th Division was on its way to France!
Today, some of these soldiers are at the University of Kansas; some of them are still in France; and some of them are on a mission to collect memories of the earth. But around the twelfth-fifth of April of each year, old memories float back to the Thirty-Fivers who fought the battle of Port Sandusky in the wilds of Oklahoma in 1917.
It was in the early part of April, 1918 that infantry organizations of the 35th left Fort Still and started on a raid through Centralia. In the mud and rain of Camp Mills, Long Island; a few eloquent and never-to-be-foo gottled nights in the Big City; and then down it to the docks where the highly camouflaged force
The second battalion of the 1837 infantry clambered up the gangplants and on to the enormous Manitoulin sister ship of the ill-fated Lostiniata. It was a large, fine-looking vessel, and the boys naturally thought they were to have first-class accommodations across the big "Pond."
No suh luck. The Mauretanias was manned by a British crew—more commonly known as "Limcys." The chief article of food to treap, good old leather tripe," supplemented by sea biscuits that were really good.
After five such meals, and the second battalion of the 137th Infantry organized a raiding party to move the enemy's ground equipment they went, and as the ship's biscuits were in large burpaks she, the only unmeeded to secure several biscuits was a bayonet. The tripe was a beringer light, for every one was full of biscuits.
That was on April 23. The nex day all the troops on the boat were removed and the second battalion was wiped off onto the Acensa, a small British banana boat, and on April 23 the anchor was lifted and the convey set out. The official report was that the Germans had fooled with the propeller of the Munitions, but maintained of the 137th have always maintained that the "Limites" on that boat wanted to get rid of the wild, Kansas outlaws.
The Thirty-Fifth got to France safely, and—but every one knows the rest of the story.
NO BIG TEXAS CROP DAMAGE
Storms Were Not as Devastat ing as First Reported
Dallas, Texas, April 26—Torrential rains that have washed out crops in many parts of the Southwest have not caused as much damage in Texas as was first thought, according to a study by American Farm Bureau federation here.
This applies to all corps in genera with the exception of the crop erop in East Texas. High winds accompanied by heavy rains have stripped the peach trees of practically all fruit. The yield will be far below normal with the luck growers having only about half of last year's crop.
The corn crop withstood the ravages of inclement weather better than any other farm product and indicators are that Texas will have a bumper crop. The corn is well up all over the state and only in the lowland sections. The water wetted the corn, so the storm it show the effects of the storm.
Of all the farmers in the Southwest the watermelon raises, have the best promise of large profits. Watermelon accruage has been increased and from present indications the rate of preveal years by 20 per cent.

The meeting for Wednesday is called in order to discuss planning, organization and to get the plan before those of the student body who are interested in physical education.
"It is expected," said Mr. G. B. Patricia, "that from this group, within a few years will be developed a process of internal order of physical education."
Last Year Attendants Mus
Make Special Arrangements
With Commandant
R.O.T.C.MEN APPLY FOR SUMMER CAMPS
Applications for attendance to the summer training camps of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps were filled out Tuesday morning by the Army headquarters because of short appropriation by congress for military training this year, the number allowed to go will be limited. Those who attended the 1921 camp at Fort Winfield Scott, Texas, participated in an arrangement with the commandant.
To offset this handicap several vacancies at the 1922 training stations have been offered, subject to competitive comparison, to men of the unit. There are about two open to three coast artillery men and one of the infantry. Two members of the engineer company will be allowed to take the training course offered at Camp Custer, Mich.

Political Science Organization Is Now Open To All
The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Political Science Club was held yesterday at 4:30 o'clock. Prof. Herbert spoke on "The Gamma Conference."
The Political Science Club was originally an organization for those majoring in the department of political science and before the war was known as the International Polity Club under the sponsorship of Professor Dykstra.
The present organization under the leadership of rofessor Chubb is affiliated with the Institute of International Education, an established organization near Columbia University, whose purpose it to promote interest, though among students, to make them more internationally minded.
"The tendency of campus life is toward overorganization along localized angles, which causes the student to lose sight of the bigger things which are going on in our internship relationships," said Professor Chubb.
In view of this condition, Professor Chubb hopes to see students from other departments take an interest in his classes. The membership is open to any student.

SENATOR LaFOLLETTE HAS FIGHT ON HANDS
Strong Faction Is Trying to Defeat "Bob" In Elec-
But the "anti-La Follette" Republicans will fight him bitterly to the finish. They will also fight every La Follette candidate down the line,
Madison, Wis., April 26 (United Press)—"Blo" La Follette, U. S. Senator for three terms and Republican leader since his election as Governor in 1900, has a light on his hands this summer and fall.

The "same progressives," as the anti-La Follette organization dubs its members, will nominate a full slate of candidates, including state officers and convention in Milwaukee. June 1, called the Committee of Fort-Four.
Every candidate of the La Follie organization, now in power in the state administration, will have an avowed anti-La Follie opponent, and will be the fiercest that Wisconsin, always a hobot of politics, ever saw.
William J. Morgan, now attorney General, who entered politics as a "dark horse" in the last campaign, is a Republican or among the anti-La Follettettes, and will probably be nominated to oppose Governor John J. Blains who is a La Follette partisan, in his fight for the nomination on demand at the primaries.
