CHRISTIANITY NOT A FAILURE SAYS HOGUE
Discussed Arms Conference in Fraser Chapel Wednesday Afternoon
SITUATION IS HOPEFUI
College Students Should Pu More Pep Into Serious Problems
Issuing a challenge to the best that is in the coming generation, and setting forth the real issues of the conference at Washington, together with the dangers attendant to the results of the Conference on the Episcopal Church gave an enlightening discussion Wednesday afternoon in Fraser Chapel.
"We are living in the aftermath of the war," said Reverend Hogue, "and it is up to us to disprove Galsworthy's statement that Christianity is a failure." Reverend Hogue believes that the Church hasn't failed because it hasn't been tried in its real sense, but that the coming together at Washington is the inauguration of an event. The time has passed when we can put the blame of politics or diplomacy on the shoulders of those in office.
In spite of the rather dark outlook Reverend Hogue believes there are hopeful aspects to the situation. He spoke of one man who had secured agreement from mechanics, electrical manufacturers etc., to refrain from war making industries in favor of industries of commerce. Reverend Hogue believes that we have reached the day when young men can not do have international disputes. College students should put some of the pep of their athletic fields into the serious problems of life.
"If you students can see the giant faces of the little children who have lost hope, we would realize that the
ence at Washington is to pay the debt of sin against them," concluded Reverend Hogue. "If it fails, the next war will come as certainly as the last."

Former K. U. Professor Writes Article for American Historical Review
PRAISES WELLS'S WORK
Says Historian is Like Voltaire
—His Book a "Notable
Fiction"
Effort"
Prof. Carl Becker, who for fourteen years was connected with the department of history at K. U., is the author of an article entitled "Mr. Kreels and New York," published in the only number of the American Historical Review.
in Commenting on Mr. Wells' book Professor Becker says, "Some books have high value, because, aiming to a great deal, they at least snow us what a great thing is. Mr. Wells cook has this high value.
The entire outline is composed of thirty-six volumes, beginning with "the Making of Our World," while the last book is entitled "A Federal
it should enable thousands of intelligent men and women throughout the world to see history in better perspective, giving them, however imprecise, their
slow and painful emergence from savagery, and in some measure bringing home to them the realization of the intimate and inscapable interrelation of the fortunes of all peoples, says Professor Becker in chapter 15.
"Mr. Wells is not Voltaire, but his rule is much the same; like Voltaire he is a versatile man of letters, with warm human sympathies, and interested in all the knowledge of his day. Like Voltaire's "Epistles to the Slave," he presents the present in terms of the past, but with all its imperfections it is a notable effort to enlist the experiences of many in the services of its destiny. "If you choose to call it history," says Professor Becker, "call it something else—for example, the literature of generous souls among catatrophists."
Prof. Becker quotes Mr. Woll's purpose in writing the History, which is; "This Outline of History is an attempt to tell truly and clearly, in one continuous narrative, the history of our country, so far as it is known today."
Professor Becker came to the University in 1902 and during his fourteen years as professor of European History, he rose from the rank of assistant to that of full professor. He is the author of several books; his latest one is entitled "America's War Aim and Peace Terms." Since 1917 Becker has been professor of European History at Cornell University.

CLEAN-UP JAYHAWKER
SALE TO START SOON
Deadline for Subscriptions to Year Book Will Be December 16
A clean-up sales campaign for the 1522 Jayhawk to start immediately, was announced by Elmer Isern, business-manager, today, in which it is planned to see every student on the Hill in order that those who have not yet subscribed for their Jayhawks may have the opportunity.
The deadline for subscriptions to the 1922 Jayhawk will be December "6, according to Mr. Isern, and it is expected that by this date at least two thousand Jayhawks will have been sold.
A number of solicitors have been appointed to work on a commission basis and "Egy" said that a few more solicitors could still be used. He outlined the detailed plans wholly based on what would be seen before the deadline.
"It is my opinion," he said, "that every K. U. student wants a Jayhawker. During the organization sales contest, some students were unable to purchase a Jayhawker at that time, but nevertheless signified their intention of buying one before Christmas. I expect to sell more Jayhawkers. I believe they sold in any previous year. To do this is quite a task, but from the expressions of various students I think 'we shall do this.'
Can Garvin, the editor, also urged that individuals and organizations make appointments at once to have their pictures taken as the photographers could give better service now than later in the season." A large number of students have already made appointments, but I want to urge the rest to see their photographer at once," he said.
STADIUM STOOD UP WELL
"Green" Sections Like the Rock of Gibraltar
"The two 'green' sections of the vest unit of the Stadium stood like the Rock of Gibraltar during the Kansas-Missouri game last Thursday," said L. H. Dodd, resident engineer for the memorial corporation yesterday.
Mr. Dodd who is a graduate of the University, receiving his B. S. degree in 1914 is an ardent follower of the Reagan White was on the job as a rooter Thursday.
During the game his interest shifted for a few minutes in order to see how the 'green' sections were standing the strain. He found that the great weight of the thousands of spectators made no impression whatsoever; that the stadium was fulfilling requirements one hundred per cent.
"The last formed sections were subjected to great strain considering their greenness," he said. "但 I would not have been afraid to have trusted the weight if that many speeches had worked." With every rooter velling his best, the Stadium would not have weakered.

PEOPLE SING NEWS IN CHINA
So Chiang Told Journalism Class This Morning
Wilson Y, Chiang, ph22, spoke before the Comparative Journalism class this morning on the newspapers of China. By using a Victoria hella to teach us how to group of people who cannot read the newspapers. In China professional newtellers are employed to travel over the country. With the aid several musicians these men portray news in a singing, inflected language.
In comparing the Chinese and American newspapers Mr. Chiang said that the Chinese editorialists are placed on the front page because they are of greater importance than to a great extent. The other news is arranged in sections according to their relative importance. First, the editorship, then the official offices, telegraph news, foreign and local news. Advertising is not mixed in any way. In an eight-page paper four pages would be of advertisements alone.
Military control is an influencing factor with the newspaper, according to Mr. Chiang. If the editor of a newspaper prints anything of his own, it will be in jail and his office closed. The foreign newspapers are protected by their respective governments, so if a Christian editor wishes to publish any article, he must request the officials to be endorsed to have it published in a foreign paper.
To Decide on Important Points at Conference
Washington, Dec. 1—The arms and far eastern conferences today had reached two crucial points in the adjustment of the divergent views of the United States and Japan on a naval ratio and the question between China and Japan on the return of Shantung to China.
China, standing with America was doomed likely to sway Japan if other consideration did not cause Japan to abandon her seventy per cent naval power. But when China was deemed foregone, China was asking Shantung's return without condition but with the naval question she rewere "fighting possibilities" and both Japanese and Chinese said they would be ready to defend if some French naval experts had worked out a plan which would keep their navy out of the racial controversy.
