ECONOMIC QUESTIONS DISCUSSED BY HIRST
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1921.
Urged Every One to Get in Politics—Will Solve Big Problems
HOPES FOR DISARMAMENT
Explained the Deflation of Currency in European Countries
Standing before the student body of the University this morning to give his view of the perplexing conditions that face the world today, Fowles W. First, British economist, implored the youth of America to take an active part in the affairs of their government. Interest in and knowledge of economic and economic conditions by the people is a great challenge for his man, for the solution of the problem with which nations have to deal at present.
Amen of prices affected both Europe and America. He then plead for a better understanding by the American people of the situation as it really is. "I wish I could bring your interest in this problem to that of England," he said. "I can answer mypathy for Europe but interest is so much more effective than sympathy." In regard to the Washington Disarmament Conference, Mr. Hirst expressed the hope that it may result in great good. The present effect of the parley cannot be extensive; how far we can go depends on limited他 predicted. The European states with its stifled markets, its worthless currency, and its starving people is the most imperative of all the world problems, according to Hirst. "It will be conceded in a few weeks or a few months at least," he said, "that Germany cannot pay her indemnities." Cooperation between the United States and Europe includes, is the only salvation for uninhabent state of affairs.
The speaker outlined briefly the tangle which inflation of currency has led to in Europe. He explained how inflation is caused by a financial base and the result disini-
an argument for the cancellation of voter debts was woven into the ad. Restoration of trade through abilities to purchase by the con-
trial European markets was the main base of the speaker's contentation along this line. He also explained that any amount of money expected to be returned, "Every dollar used for destructive purposes," he said, "makes the user of that dollar so much less able to repay." In turn, he asked Mr. Firth went on to say:
"If the disarmament conditions are carried out, it will not have so very much effect on Europe. It will relieve us of some tax burden probably now," he said of being taxed more. And the tax burden is really very burdensome too. The more a government wastes the less its people have to spend. In the last ten years, the governments have spent more on waste and destruction than ever before. Science has combined this with destruction rather than to the benefit of mankind as we used to be taught that it would do.
done is the restoration of trade lying and selling between the countries of Europe and America — we covet them as weapons of peace without fear of war.
"However, the altering of the naval program of three countries cannot affect the economic conditions of the world. The only thing that
Mr. Hirat has been in America since July engaged in studying American conditions. He has been at Leland Stanford University and the University of California where he has delivered a series of lectures on economic questions. He goes from here to the East where he will speak to students during the next few weeks. He is also morning to hear the lecture. The crowd listened attentively throughout the address.
Chancellor Lindley presided at the meeting. In introducing the speaker, he said that former ambassador James Bryce had suggested to Mr. Hirst that he should visit the University of Kannau when he came to visit France. He said that he noted economist's presence here this morning," he said. Why the ambassador made that suggestion is not known.
Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, left Saturday for Washington, D.C., where he will do research work for three weeks. On his last day, Prof. Ise will stop in to speak with some of the annual meeting of the American Economic Association which meets in the city December 27 to 30.

Rejection of Treaty
No Dishonor—De Valera
Annie Mitchell
Dublin, Dec. 12—President De Valera today resumed his attack on the Irish peace treaty. He issued a statement that rejection of the treaty by the Dail on Wednesday would not be an act of bad faith on the part of Ireland in refusing to stand by the signatures of the plenipotentiaries. De Valera denied that the honor of Ireland was involved in the acceptance or rejection of the treaty. He also rejected the treaty of the British House of Commons, which also meets Wednesday might reject the treaty. As a precedent he cited the rejection of the treaty of Versailles by the United Senate Senate.
Prof. Ilff Garrison will give a recital this evening in Frasse Hall Chapel at 8:20 a.m. There will be a large audience and everyone is invited to attend.
HUNTLEY DUPRE WILL SPEAK HERE TONIGHT
Relief Worker for Czecho-Slova
kia to Tell European Edu-
ducational Conditions
CANDLES ON SALE TODAY
Students Asked to Burn K. U Candles in Their Homes Christmas
Huntley Dupe, who has been in charge of the Student Relief work in Czecho-Siabak, will speak at Mers Hall tonight at 8:15 o'clock, following the Y. W. B. C. A. Christmas students and plans for their relief, alr. Dupe returned to the United States about two weeks ago and is speaking to many of the colleges and universities of this country of its first hard knowledge of the terrific situation there, especially with relation to education.
"Dupee is a graduate in law of Ohio State University and has seen characterized by several who ought to know as one of the strongest graduates in the country," Dean Dyer, an Ohio man, "His work in Europe is one of the most fascinating and effective services since the war. No more interesting story has been told in any K. U., convection room, tell tomorrow night in Myers Hall."
Everyone, both students and faculty, is invited to attend the meeting and hear the message Mr. Dupre w"lil bring to the University at that university.
is invited to attend.
"I hear the message M. Dupre wair at that time, K. U. Friendship candida, tied with crimson and blue ribbons, were on sale at all the booths this morning and t i red Yultide candida also tied with crimson and are waiting to be claimed at Room 113 Fraser." The candies are being well received," said Jennie Glendinning, manager of the sale, this morning. "Students, seem to have fallen in with their candida, wearing their candida for the amounts they feel that they can afford to give."
There is no pressure exerted in any way to compel an individual or house to purchase for any specified amount either one candle or their total number of candles. The candles are being sold for any amount offered and are low enough to enable every student to own a K. U. Friendship Candle.
It is especially honored that all honeys and homes will be eligible for the serendibus regarless of the total contributions. Any group of students who present receipts totaling $85 at their11pm presentation may receive a Yuletide candle.
K. U. central has established a number "K. U. Serenade" for Wednesday, December 14, and each house in which every member has purchased K. U. candle as which will have a shadow blighted with candles on Thursday night, asked their request this number and leave their request for a seracde.
It has been suggested that it would be a fine thing if every K. U. student should have a K. U. Friendship Candle burning in his own home on what the University is doing about what the University is doing about other lines then for itself personally.
Last spring tentative arrangements were made to have all students enrolled in education classes in the University given an intelligence test. Arrangements for these tests have been made, and the department of education should meet at Green Hall, Room 105 and 106 Wednesday, December 14, at 4:30 o'clock. The tests will take about thirty minutes. All students in education courses will be required to this condition, according to Prof. R. A. Kent of the School of Education.
The W. S. G. A. will give a Christmas tea day Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock in Fraser Rest Room. Music will be a feature of the afternoon's entertainment. Nadine Cox music will be a feature and the W. S. G. A. girls will act as hostess. All University and faculty women are invited to attend.
The intelligence tests which will be given Wednesday night will be in the Chemistry Lecture Room in the ChemEd building. Mr. Fraser Chapel was first announced.
Plans are being completed and final arrangements made for Thursday night. Continued interest is being manifested by outside organizations who wish to join in the celebration. Seventh Higginis, manager of the plays, spoke at the high school concerning them on Monday morning.
All Education Students Take Intelligence Test
"POLICE Courting" has become one of the favorite pastimes of the Uni-iversity students. Whether it is curiosity or lack of other pastimes that encourages the students to rise early during sessions cannot be ascertained.
Police Court Stages Mirth-Giving Comedy
However, Friday morning the police court took over the aspect of a fierce comedy. The prosecuting witness, who termed himself a "special investigator" for the Lawrence Poletz case, played the part of the modern Palafeta.
According to his version, his eye sight would make *Sherlock Holmes* look like an amateur. He was most superhuman, so much that he could detect a merchant on a dark night hand a boy a package of "Gammon" snacks. He was very proficient in bringing laughter from the numerous University students. Although he assumed the attitude of a professional "courtier" his statements were ex of civility ofmhr. For instance, "No I did not 'request' this feller to give me ID. I didn't 'request' him to提."
"Non comno," said the judge. "Next case."
PROFESSOR EXPLAINS ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS
A. M. Wileox Tells Class of the Most Famous Greek Sculptors
"The Acropolis of Athens" was the subject of the lecture given by Prof. A. M. Wilcox of the department of Ancient languages before the students of Professor Sterling's Elementary Greek class at 4:30 on clock afternoon in Fraser Hall. Professor Wilcox illustrated his lecture with views from the Acropolis, together with views of the ruins as they may be seen today.
The word Acropolis means City on the Hill, and this is literally true, for one may see the crumbling Doric and Ionian columns of the ancient building. This is the location of the Acropolis heights today, 500 feet from sea level and 250 feet above Athens.
According to Professor Wilcox, the Greeks were the most famous sculptors from the standpoint of beauty and art, that the world has ever seen. He draped them to drape their figures in such a way as to cover up some of the difficult lines, while the ancient sculptors, as in the case of one figure shown called the "Ocean in the Lap of Earth," that had even beautiful curve and outlining of the body was brought out. Never was stone so carved as the drapery on the symbolic figure of the Ocean. As Professor Wilcox emphasized, it would be better to remain silent before he wrote more than to waste words talk about it.
When comparing modern architecture with that of ancient Greece, he reointed out that because the Greeks bulked their columns slightly to beautify them moderns had further enhanced their beauty and as a result, we have the greatly over-bulged columns of today.

Tour Was Made in Interests of Stadium-Union Memorial Drive
CHANCELLOR RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP
HE VISITED THREE CITIES
Was Unable to Go to Washington on Account of Slight Illness
Chancellor Lindley returned last night from his trip east in the interests of the Stadium-Union Memorial Drive with favorable reports of the work in every city he visited. The meeting in New York Friday evening marked the clinix of the trip, with 175 Kanans presenta, not only K. U. Lummit, but many prominent men from over the state. Chancellor Lindley spoke on the Memorial, and at all times during the program remaining messages and telegrams of the state from all over the country were read.
The Chancellor had a strenuous program throughout his visits in the principal eastern cities, Tuesday. In Pittsburgh, he was busiest day. From schools of the Pittsburgh schools where he spoke in the interests of the drive, Chancellor Lindley went to a luncheon as guest of W. M. Davidson, A.B. 022 superintendent of schools, and A.B. 035 professor at University of Pittsburgh. In the early afternoon the Chancellor visited the Mellin Institute as guest of Edward Weidline, A.B. 070, director of the Institute. In the late after-credit period on Applied Psychology especially focused by leading scientists of the city.
As a result of a stuточous progra-
m, a slight illness prevented him from attending the workers' dinner at the luncheon. In the day, however, he was able to attend the luncheon, but on the advice of a physician he did not go to Washington as he had planned, and the things there were held without him.
The Chancellor met many K. U. graduates while in the east. At a K. U. dinner in Pittsburgh fifty out of nine K. U. people in the city attended. Everywhere, he found prominent K. U. men.
"The reports coming from the work just started are more than favorable." said "Scoop" Hill this morning.
At the first meeting of the workers held in New York Saturday noon, twenty-four pledged $8,000. Now they hope to raise their goal of $20,000 to fund teams from Pitfalls show that $3,000 of goal is already almeded.
Monday afternoon, Dean Foster,
president of the K. U. Club in New
York, visited in awrence on his way
east to help in the campaign.
Chancellor Lindley is feeling much better since his return, but is not ready as yet to be interviewed, according to Alfred Hill.

Sothern-Marlow Give Drama Without Music
E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, who appear in Lawrence this season, have eliminated the orchestra.
Though the modern theatre some years ago abolished the musicians except where they were required by "*" action of the plays, producers of Shakespeare went to the other extreme and introduced music of every possible point. Mr. and Mrs. Sothern were the first classic actors to take part in the bombing of the orchestra during the war amuseances. Only when the lines in so many words demand some melody is the orchestra heard.

FOUR GREAT POWERS
SIGN PEACE TREATY
Anglo-Japanese Alliance Scraped—Pledged to Preserve Peace on Pacific
FIRST TO !GN
Treaty Goes to Government for Ratification—Agreement is for Ten Years
With typical American simplicity, the great document, considered one of the most important in the world, was signed to the offices of Secretary of State Huphes. Only the plenipotent heads of the four powers were present. The ceremony which usually attaches to such important events was absent.
Washington, December 13--The four great powers of the world today fixed their signatures to the treaty which scrapped the Anglo-Japanese alliance and pledged all to preserve peace across vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
The treaty now goes to the respective governments for ratification and will be put into effect when the problem of such ratifications is made clear. That action will formally scrap the Anglo-Japanese alliance which this country has long considered a menace.
Secretary Hughes, admittedly the dominant figure of the conference, was the first to sign the new pact affixing his signature in behalf of the United States. Several members of American delegation followed. Then from the stately Bourse and other members of the British delegation,
Viviana led the French delegation so the signing table. Admiral Kato and the Jap delegation were the last ones to sign. Under the treaty the powers agree.
1. To respect the insular possessions of each other in the Pacific and to submit any controversies to joint conferences.
2. If any power takes aggressive action, to confer on what action should be taken jointly and separately.
3. To maintain the agreement for ten years and thereafter until any one of the powers cancels it on twelve months' notice.
4. To make the treaty effective on deposit of ratification which will automatically terminate the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
None of the delegates seem to fear for the success of the treaty because the singing started thirteen minutes before the signing and ended a month. The signing of the treaty was carried out in an extremely informal manner. The various delegations stood about the room. In small groups, the representatives while signatures were affixed.
THURNAU TO CONDUCT TOUR
