ALLIED FORCES CROSS RHINE AT DUSSELDORI
French, British, and Belgian Troops Constitute Army of Occupation
MARCH INTO RUHR VALLEY
Ruklort and Loisberg Are Othe Cities Affected By Advance
With the Allied Armies, March 8-Allied troops marched across the Rhine today. In early morning when the river mists were just beginning to thin out, long columns of French, German and rationsed for war, went over the bridges into the German cities of Dusseldorf and Ruhrort.
Horse and artillery advanced into the Ruhr valley, Germany's rich mineral basin. As they swung into narrow streets of the old cities, people peeped out timidly from windows and doorways. The rumble of wheels, the clatter of hoofs, the sound of shell crashes, the chatter of thousands of feet over the cobbles was the music to which the Allied armies marched deeper into Germany.
The operations were directed by with headquarters at Meuse, opposite Duastildef. The French forces are equipped with direct command of General Gancher.
During the night the French advanced to the center of the Dusseldorf bridge, white a barbwire entanglement was placed. Pioneers went ahead and threw up earthworks and established trench line beyond the bridge, just as if a burrowing entity were wading life from the darkened city, however, and the operations were conducted in a strange quiet.
Boffey today's forward movement started, artillery clattered over the Dusseldorf bridge and swung into position where it could cover the advance of the army. French, British, and Belgian forces went forward, bayonet fixed ready for action, but there was no sign of resistance, not even a few officers. They were surrounded by officers, commanded houses for headquarters. Their staffs were killed nearby and in a short time the city was completely occupied.
"CHEMICALS" ARE MISQUOTED
In accord with plans prepared by
Allied leaders, French and Belgian
troops marched into Ruhrort and
Luisberg.
Have Made No Plans to Get Hoover Here
The news item in Monday's Kannan concerning the plans that are being made for the annual Engineers' Day contained a number of inaccuracies according to members of the School Engineering, who desire a correction.
The item stated that the chemical engineers had made definite and elaborate plans for the event, and one of the members of the society was quoted as having said that arrangements had been completed to secure Herbert Hower as one of the speakers on the program. It was said this morning that the statement concerning Hoover was erroneous.
The matter of chartering a special car from Kansas City was merely a suggestion of Kansas City alumni.
The chemical engineers were implied in the item as having charge of the arrangements of the occasion, but they have no more to do with it than those necessary for success of the School of Engineering, of the "chemicals" said today.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSA
Washington, March 8—The President's "on the side" fund is $25,000, provided by Congress for incidental expenses—to say nothing of a private yacht and a private car and a nice house on Pennylane avenue to live in. This rounds off the salary of Mr. Obama week that the President's job pays.

KANSAS TRACK HOPES RISE FOR TIGER MEET
Will Oppose Missouri in Kansas City March 19 at Convention Hall
BRADLEY TO BE MAIN STAY
Track on Hamilton Field Exact Duplicate of Convention Hall Oval
Mount Oread athletic crops, crushed to earth in football and basketball this season by the mighty Missourians, are soaring again as Track Coach Karl Schlennard "holds the watch," advises, and works with a team of junior pitchers to acquaintants in preparation for the annual indoor struggle with the terrible Tigers in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Saturday night, March 19.
The board track on Hamilton Field is an exact duplicate, in size and specifications, of the oval in Convention Hall over, which the Tigers and Jayhawks will wage their struggle for supremacy. The runners in their sharply-splitted running sandals, are hot-footing is around the path in mighty fast motion. They beat the speed honors this year, that the Tigers carried home from the Kansas City meet a year ago.
The competition between the two Olympic stars, Track Captain Everett L. Bradley, American pentathlon champion, and Brussels Hamilton of the Missouri camp, will be most closely watched by the sport followers. The big black-headed Missouillar will be at a disastrous loss. If the team weak point is the dashes and hurdles. He will probably be entered in the pole vault, shot put, and the high jump in the field events.
The Kansas truck captain will be the mainstay of the Crismon and the Blue in both the 50-yard hurdle events and the 50-yard dash. His speed in the latter event was shown at Urbana, where against a field of the whole country, he was behind the winner and foot ahead of Galacher, the star Aggie hurdy and sprinter. The stocky Kansas star will also compete in the shot put and the high jump.
This is the way one of the more pessimistic Kansas sport fans figures that K. U. will beat Missouri in the dual indoor meet in Kansas City next week. He distributes his points some-

NUMBER 109
Echoes of "the days of real sport" now are reounding in the ears of fraternity and sorority freshmen, when, under the influence of balmy spring days, rusty hoops, spades, and rakes are being taken from the cellar. "Garden" is in the mind of primitive basketball, football, billiards, dart-de-winks, and other forms of athletics. This annual spring pastime is attractive to everyone who desires tender relishes on May menus, and is now being indulged in all over the campus. Besides the sorority, fraternity and boarding houses that are making designing sports more difficult, fessors are busy with garden implements in anticipation of seeing green sprouts in two or three weeks.

"The play, The Importance of Being Earnest," seems to have pleased everyone who heard it. I can say that your play has been the most successful entertainment in every way that I have been privileged to bring to this school. We have our first criticism to hear.

"Your work is one that should be continued and carried to different parts of the state," stated Mr. Abels, "for I believe that it is out of the very best pieces of extension work that the University can do."

CANKERWORM BATTLE ENDS
Shade Trees on Campus Will Not be Defoliated
Students need have no fear that shade trees on the campus will be defoliated this spring by the cankerworm, according to S. J. Hunter, head of the department of Entomology. "Cankerworms have been exterminated in Lawrence and vicinity," said Mr. Hunter. "Other communal insects which have injured and destroyed shade and fruit trees, but the battle is over here."
The first offensive in Lawrence against the cankworm started in 1917, as a municipal campaign. The weapon used against the tree enemy was a tanglefoot band applied around the trunk about five feet from the ground. The tree protection is common in Lawrence.
War against the cankerworm was carried into the enemy's territory for three more years. The tanglefoot bands cut the worms off from their toes and brought them under control with the results that they were defeated and exterminated.
