MILITARY TRAINING
Will there ever be another war?
What will it be like, and will it be as stupendous and horrible as the last world conflict?
These questions have been uppermost in the minds of the people of the United States since hostilities ceased, and especially at this time when controversy on universal military training is at its height. There are those among the pacifists who claim that war is a thing of the past; that we have learned that war is a survival of barbarian; and that, in the future, controversies between nations will be settled through arbitration.
A recent dispatch from France quotes several of their scientists and military experts as saying they cannot believe war has been abolished forever, and that conflicts of the future will be more intense and more crushing than in the last war. "The future war," according to Edouard Branly, a French scientist, "will be immensely more murderous than the one preceeding, because much more scientific."
Granting the probability of another war, the question arises, "How should America prepare for it?" And the answer proposed by some is universal in military training. In his campaign speech at Yankton, S. D., Tuesday night, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood said:
Never again must we permit "America to be caught so utterly un" "prepared" and unready as we were in "the Great World War. We paid for "this lack of preparation in blood and "treasure."
According to General Wood's plan, we should have a regular army of from two hundred thousand to one-fourth million men, and a first class navy, always ready. The army should be built with the idea of maintaining the smallest number of men living the lives of professional soldiers, but behind it some system which will give "our youth enough training to make them quickly available in "case of attack. We won't call it com-pulsory military training, but训-ning for national service which will combine vocational, industrial and citizenship training. They all go together in the making of the Ameri-can citizen."
In his speech to Congress in 1790, President Washington said: "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace," and the Kansas City Star remarks, "From this statement what might be inferred would be Washington's attitude toward universal training" And in its stand for the universal training program, the Star goes on to point
but the reasons given by Ernest Laissez, the Frenchman, in his history of France for the defeat of the French in the Franco-Prussian war, which were mainly, unpreparedness.
But the advocates of military training are not without opposition. At their convention in Chicago last week, the national League of Women Voters, representing all parties, voted against universal military training. And a news dispatch from Washington, under date of February 20, says compulsory universal training will not receive a single vote from the Kansas delegation in Congress. According to the report, Senator Curtiss, who is opposed to the bill as being “un-American and impracticable,” said:
"It will be observed that Edsel Ford "and other sons of rich Americans" had no difficulty in obtaining exemplar even when we were at war. What do you suppose would happen in "time of peace? Would not every young man of influence who desired to escape do so, and if he did, where is your universal feature? The only "warrant for making military training compulsory is that it shall be universal. Since it is impossible under "American free institutions to make it universal, we have no warrant for attempting to make it compulsory. We must still permit the young man who desires military training in time of peace to obtain it through the national guard and by other means," but in time of peace it would be folly to attempt to teach a universal "military training scheme. The war just passed shows what the country can and will do when danger actually "threatens."
The latest report from Washington is to the effect that despite the decision of the Military Committee adopting universal training, in principle, as a part of the country's future military policy, efforts were being made to prevent the committee decision from appearing in the house army reorganization bill.
Whatever the final outcome of the bill, the thing of most concern to the people at large is, will compulsory universal military training, if adopted, gradually lead up to that militaristic state which prevailed in Germany at the outbreak of hostilities in 1914? If that is to be the final outcome, then the only clear course is to defeat it. It should be neither a partisan nor a sectional fight, but one based on the future welfare of the commonwealth. The voters demand it.
MEMORY JUICE
We see in the paper that a physician in a penitentiary out in California has perfected a "memory juice" to be injected into the spine, which will completely restore the memory.
Doctor Stanley is this alleged benefactor's face. We fear the dawz is working under an illusion, for when the benefits of a poor memory are considered, no one will be willing to buy any of the guaranteed elixir, unless, perchance, it contains more than four per cent of alcohol.
Suppose, for instance, that an average person were to be injected with the precious fluid, and that is worked He might remember the bill he owes his tailor, and be bothered by his conscience. He might remember the umbrella he picked up at the club some five or six years ago. He might remember the jewelry he took from some damsel of his youthful days, and be remorseful.
Nowadays people fall into philosopher and delightful reveries of the dear old days of their youth, full of joy and entirely absent of care and trouble. With a spine cock full of the liquid of memory, one would remember even better than the people who specialize on box car numbers, and telephone numbers of reception acquaintances. The completeness of recollection would bring up to us the details of childhood, the overwhelming sorrow over the death of a dog, and the all-consuming anger and disgust at being kept home from the swimming hole on a summer day.
No. childhood was filled with more troubles than we care to remember.
Pass on to the next aile with your sum of memory juice, doc.

OREAD NOTES
HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
Some would be practical joker put mustard oil on the chairs in the journalism class room Monday. One poor boy sat down on one of the contaminated chairs just as the teacher asked him. "And how would you cover a fire?"
Negotiations for a game of basketball with the Lawrence Girl's Team, started some time ago by the Oread Girls' quintet may test in a game late in this month, according to Miss Ruth Trant, coach of the Oread Girls' basketball team. The favorably received by the Lawrence high school but the time and place of the meeting have not yet been decided upon.
Professor H. W. Nutt, principal of the Oread Training school went to Kansas City, Kansas Tuesday after he conduct a class in extension work.
Campus Opinion
Editor The Daily Kansan:
Not long ago an article appeared in the Kansan intimating that tennis was to be a popular sport this season, and that the present courts were not only going to be put into excellent new ones we were going to be constructed.
There is no doubt that many students would take advantage of this form of recreation if they had the chance. And since there is now inadvertent per classman, this would greatly help in overcoming a very conspicuous deficiency. Furthermore, the handball court has been confiscated for classroom use so that there is no alternative for them to play. Let's have some tennis courts.
Many nice days for playing tennis have already passed and yet there seems to be no action underway toward premarine the courts for service.
One who likes the game.
Jayhawks Flown
New of Alumni and Former Students
The Kansas City high school Pantograph has the following to say about two K. U. graduates, who are high school graduates in a high school department of journalism;
Miss Patterson and the Mr. Morgan are the teachers of the Journalism department, both being experienced with newspaper work and public speaking.
Miss Patterson's first connection with newspapers was editor of the Kansas University paper, "The Kansan." Later she was a reporter on the Parsons "Daily Sun," then she became city editor on the Salina "Union," and last summer she was telegraph editor of the Hutchinson "Gazette." Miss Patterson says "The journalism and printing departments do the act of creating the paper belongs to the members of the school and its success depends entirely upon their cooperation, not only by subscribing to the paper, but by sending in any news that may be of interest."
Mr. Morgan is also experienced and started newspaper work while a hawker, and then as member on the School, by helping with the "Jayhawk," and then as member on the University of Kansas University. After graduation he went with his father to Heipington, where they operated a paper for several years. He worked for four years under his father, who was in charge of the "Kansas City Star." Kansas two years in the navy he worked on the daily, "The Great Lakes Bulletin."
The marriage ceremony of J. D Berwick and Laura Wood was solicited at Topela February 18. The couple attended K. U. in 1914 Mr. Berwick acting as cheer leader while a junior engineer, Mrs. Berwick acting as instructor as time as an instructor in a girl college in the state of Arkansas.

Must Shakespeare to.
Following the action of the Newark school education bureau, the Merchant of St. Michael from the school courses "because of the slender of the Jew by the character of Shylock" comes a request from the veterans of the great war who fought in Scottish regiments. They demand that to remove anti-Scottish prejudice, "Macbeth" ought also to be burned. The school has themselves trained through the representation of Macbeth as a traitor.
Uses the Scotch are joking where will these demands end? If any nation or party is justified in expunging a play because the villain belongs to its group, what will become of Shakespeare?
Must Shakespeare Go?
It is suggested that the Italians may object to the depiction of Iago in "Othello"; the English to the reflection on their kings in "Richard III" and in "Henry IV"; women's organizations to the alligations against their sex in the portrayal of Goneril and Regan in "King Lear" and drugstores to the cringing apothecary who sold poison to Romeo.
But sleep on Mr. Shakespeare. The literati will not forsake you. Your faithful portrayal of our virtues and our vices finds sympathetic response in us. We will defend you from libel. —Evening Missouri.

Mental Lapses
private William Burns of Co. A, 1st Engrs., snores in his sleep. Several nights ago he began sawing wood in his slumbers and someone in the barrack, disturbed by his snoring, sent over a barge of miscellaneous articles. One of the objects registered a direct hit on Private Burns' lip. He was evacuated to the base hospital for treatment the next morning when he is going to use his gas mask as a muffler upon retiring. —Ex.
The University of London was the first academic body in the United Kingdom to grant degrees to women—this occurring in 1878. Oxford and Cambridge do not yet admit women, but they permit students in their university or grant degrees to them. Women are allowed to study there under certain restrictions, but they receive only certificates. They are not expected to enter into conversation with men undergraduate attending the same lectures they may not accept invitations to dances, and they may study law at the University of London, even events only under conditions approved by their principals. The men students take very little notice of them.
