FRANCE IS UNCERTAIN ABOUT DISARMAMENT
Geographical Position Put France in Quandary Over Conference
By WEBB MILLER,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
PARIS, ISH. 25.- The guiding principle of France's policy at the Washington conference in regard to land disarmament will be based upon her geographical position—forced to live beside an active and powerful hereditary enemy in Germany.
Another almost equally moving factor is that great political enigm of Europe—Russia. French statesmen forsee the ever-present possibility that at some future time Germany and Russia may join forces, either military or economically, or both, and at one stroke upset plans. With the present "crowd" regime in Russia, known that comes in Russia, a potential enemy. Whether the emmity will continue when and if the Bolsheviks are overthrown, is an unanswerable question. In every calculation affecting her national security, French statesmen must keep the above possibil-
These fundamental principles will underlie every move of the French representatives at the Washington conference. While admitting the possibilities of world-wide benefit that would result from any settlement of the Pacific questions or any workable accord on dismantle, thus far the majority of the French president and a section of official officials viewing the Washington conference with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm. Most of the comment in the press has been a critical nature.
The outstanding fact seems to be that France cannot yet see how she stands to gain much from the conference and does clearly see how she might lose heavily, especially in the matter of land disarmament.
However in the interest of the general world weafare, and in the hope that some formula will be worked out that might permit a lifting of some of the burden of armaments without affecting national security, France is willing to participate in good faith.
But the French delegation will go to the conference with one 'unlatterable reservation on land disarmament and one unanimous mandate from the nation. That is, that no arrangement will be entered into that would in any way compromise the national security of France.

Girl Golf Phenomenon Elected To Team Representing West Turns It Down to Come to K.U.
Miriam Burns of Kansas City, Mo., the girl golf phenomenon, entered the University this fall as a freshman in the School of Fine Arts. Miss Burns is a pledge of Chi Omega sorority.
Although she was graduated from Westport High School just this spring and is only seventeen years old, Miss Burns is the holder of two championship titles and has defeated a national titleholder. Her golfing career began in the spring of 1918 at the age of fourteen, but she was unable to play in tournaments until last year on account of the age limit.
In 1920 she entered the city, state, western, and national tournaments and won the city, qualified third in the state, fifth in the western, and twenty-second in the western in the city, state, and western tournament. She won the city tournament and proved herself the golf sensation of the year by
Miss Burns played in the western tournament at Chicago in August and defeated the present title holder, Mrs. F. C. Lettis, Jr., in the first round match. As a result of the ability she exhibited she was elected to the western team consisting of nine players who were to represent the states weakest position against the state. She was unable to cause because of her work in the University, but if her playing justifies a second selection to the team she hopes to be able to play next day.

Find Oread Magazine In Cave Exploration
The old saying that you can never get so far away from home that you cannot recognize anything relating to home or home folks, was proved by the famous American biologist Hunter, of the department of entomology, and wife and daughter, Geneva Hunter, A. B.21, and Bert Ober, a prominent citizen of Lawrence, who while exploring a forensake cave in a region near Esetes Park, Colo., published a copy of the Ooread Magazine from the University of Kansas.
The date of the publication of the Magazine was 1912, and Professor Hunter said that he had no idea how the copy of the K. U. publication got in the old cave unless it was left there at some previous time by a former student of the University or graduate. The copy might have been
