THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION BRINGS FAMOUS PLAYS
Ubsen's Ghosts and Locke's The Climax to be Presented Monday, Nov. 7
Two well known plays, Isben's Ghosts, and Locke's, The Climax, will be presented on Monday, November 7, at the Bowersock Theatre by the Traveling Theatre Company, under the auspices of the local branch of University Women formerly, the Collegiate Alumna.
The casts of these two plays are very strong, made up of New York and foreign actors who tour university towns for the purpose of presenting high class plays. The lead in Ghosts is taken by Madam Burger-Fryell Hammer, supported by Jerry Fryell (who have been played in spielen this country for the past two years). Madam Hammer was here two year ago and many will remember her intelligent acting in three Ibsen plays. In Ghosts, which is one of the most important of Ibsen's plays and with the greatest dramatic elements, she plays the part of Mary Jane, a teenage part. Since her last appearance here Madam Hammer has played extensively in
her last appearance, which 'whisked
Hummer's mind away' is certainly in
it and extreme west.
The object of the Association of University Women which brings these plays to Lawrence annually to add to the artistic and dramatic opportunities of the university and the community. In former year: the association has met with a writer at its entertainments which indicate popular appreciation of its efforts and of the quality of the plays it has sponsored.
Prehistoric Reptile Used To Play Rough
Among the material which H. T. Martin, curator of the Museum, brought back for the University as a memorial is the skleton of Trego county this summer is part of the skeleton of a gigantic marine lizard, the mosaurus. This interesting animal lived during the creaticlous period when Kansas was a
These animals attained a length of twenty-three feet. This new specimen was about twenty feet long. The mammal's tail is modified and modified into paddles or flippers.
They were fast swimmers and their speed together with their vicious appetites for flesh made them the terror of the marine life of that period. They are the wingless birds of the cretaceous period, the father of the three bird species like animals who lived in the shallow Kansas sea.
These reptiles were very numerous and literally swarmed in the shallow seas along the Atlantic border and also frequent sea and especially in this state.
Mr. Martin is now at work restoring this specimen and it will soon be ready to add to the collection.
One Man Killed Out of Every Four Hit in War
Paris, Oct. 17- Statistics just compiled by the army medical service of the Ministry of War reveal the great advancement in the art of killing during the Great War. The statistics show that the proportion of casualties was 8.36 per fatal loss was 18.36 per cent—that is, about one man killed of every four hit—which is much greater than any previous war.
Likewise, the figures show the vast advance in the science of hygiene. The number dead from disease and sickness is only about one-sixth the number killed by enemy fire.
The final figures of the French losses are given as follows:
Killed by enemy fire ... 674,700
Missured ... 250,000
Mislauré, presumed killed by
fire ...
Dead of disease...
Total dead ...1,325,00

CHINA WILL REFOREST SECTION OF SHANTUNG
Deforested Conditions Cause o Extensive Floods and Most of Famines
This activity is set forth in a report made public today by the American Forestry Association, which has just received from Dean John Reisner a statement on forestry progress in China. Reisner is dean of the college of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Nankin.
Washington, Oct. 17, (United Press)—The Shantung Award,"made famous since the Peace Conference and sure to come up for a big part of the discussion at the limitation of arms conference in Washington in November, is being reforested.
His report says that following the third flood disaster of the year in the Anheuil province three great railroads of the flooded provinces are being opened as means of saving themselves and for providing market for the future.
"Devastation in the Anhwei province," says Charles Lathrop Pask, president of the American Fortress Association in giving out the report of Dean Reisner, "may be under siege from flooded areas and flooded area is twice the area of Massachusetts, or about 15,000 square miles. The populatin of the Bay State is around four million people, which is a million and a half less than the sufferers in the flooded areas. The deforested condition of these areas does not only of the floods but of most of her family in that country."
"The big development," says Dean Reiser's statement, "has been in Shantung province. This work was organized by Mr. Lin of the Forestry Department of the College of Agriculture at Nankin, an American Missionary Institution, which loaned him for the work.
"A Forest Service has been established, with a Chief Forester and eleven assistants. The first planting season saw the organization of three forestry stations, the establishment of three nurseries with plans for two more for the following season, over 550,000 trees planted on 2,000 mow of land and an additional 3,000 mow seeded.
"The railways are engaged in re-restitution work looking forward to supplying their own ties and other timbers used in railroad construction and maintenance. Other timber companies compiling similar developments. The budgets are voted by the various railway administrations interested.
"With her floods, China is an example of the world of the need for reforestation. Arbor Day in China is a national holiday now, and is observed in schools and by high officials."

WILL PREMIER BRIAND ATTEND CONFERENCE?
Convocation of Parliament t Decide Upon Fate of Cabinet
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, Oct. 17.—With the convocation of Parliament on October 18, upon which depends the life or death of the Briand Cabinet, only one day away, public and press opinion regarding the Washington conference is crystallizing.
Bv WEBB MILLER.
Thus far the outstanding question is on the advisibility of Briand or any French premier personality representing France at the conference table. Opinion is sharply divided regarding the wisdom of such an unprecedented absence of a Premier who lacked the majority of press opinion is against the Premier personally going.
The reason most often advanced by those opposed is that the personal presence of the Premier would result unfavorably to the interests of France—that, as a matter of principle, subordinates should do the actual negotiating, while the Premier should stand back and oversee the

[ Among the few papers actively supporting the idea of the Premier going to Washington is the "Gau-lois", which outlines the advantages to be gained by the presence of the French Premier.
Another argument is that the long absence of the Premier would be prejudicial to the internal government of the nation, which would necessarily be left in less responsible and less experienced hands.
"It is permissible to inquire whether the time has not come for us to envisage an accord with the United States and to know in what measure and upon what grounds we have hopes other than the warm expressions of friendship manifested on every occasion towards us by the American people. "Certainly it would be a grave error to expect formal engagements from Washington engagement which are not in harmony with their constitutional laws, ideas, or policies, and that the lack thereof much to gain by her political leader coming into personal contact with Harding and his cabinet. Then, too, it would have a deplorable effect upon our American friends if the governor would reinforce his visit to Washington after formally accepting the invitation.
London, Oct. 17.—The Irish peace conference adjoined "Sine Dye" late this afternoon.
Irish Peace Conference Adjourns Today Noon
Rumors of further disputes having interfered with the course of negotiations were answered by official denials and it was announced that the failure of the conference had prevented a necessity for Lloyd George appearing before parliament at the opening tomorrow. There has been no suggestion of a break, it was said, but many questions as to why it was necessary for Lloyd George to appear because of Lloyd George's parliament opposition remained unanswered.
Among the guests who were at the Alpha Tau Omega house over the week-end were: Assistant Attorney General C. G. Randall and wife from Topeka; MacClung Climbs of Elorado; Kan; Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Benton of Kansas City, Mo., where Mr. Benton is assistant Prosecuting Attorney.
