RAEMAEKER CARTOONS
A KULTURKAMPF INDEX
Co-efficients of Civilization to Extent They Portray Negative Power—Hekking
BELGIAN ACHIEVES FAME
Continental European Art Center Recognizes Worth of the Young Flemish Cartoonist
The Louis Raemacker war cartoons on exhibit in Room 302, Administration Building, are, literally speaking, co-efficients of civilization, says William H. Hekkling, professor of art and drama at the University that they portray a negative power and give a true index to the German kurtkampt.
CRITICS RECOGNIZE CARTOONIST
The object of art is to portray life as the artist sees it, continued Professor Hekking. And the success of his work depends upon the interpretation which he gives life. The successful artist is the one who strikes the realism in his photos of life and arouses critics, students and others to recognition.
The cartoons now on display are of this spirit. They bespeak the German War Department attitude in the press under the crayon of Mr. Raemaker.
CARTOONS ROUSE GERMAN IRE
Some critics of Mr. Raemaeker have said that he has exaggerated his impression of the German kulturkamp, however, such criticism is readily erased when we note the recognition gained not only from the best critics and students of France but all England as well.
It was largely due to Mr. Raemaker's cartoons that England was aroused to the true situation with which she was confronted. Again it would seem that Mr. Raemaker had hit the nail on the head when he aroused the War Department to extent that they have set a price upon his head.
Professor Hekking said he regretted much that more of the students and townpeople did not take notice of his views, viewing the cartoons cannot help being gripped with the horrors of the impression portrayed by the artist.
ORCHESTRA GIVES CONCERT
Master Ewing Poteet Plays Violin Solo—Several Other Special Numbers on Program
Master Ewing Poteet, who is five and a half years old and has been taking violin lessons for less than six months, played a German song at the orchestra concert last night which surprised and deliciated me, unless she were clear and sweet and he showed a sense of time that was significant.
The work of the orchestra, which was conducted by Prof. Wort S. Morse, showed the result of months of hard work. The Allegro Movement from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony was especially well rendered.
Harold Lyle played a cornet solo, "Peristyle Polka," by Chambers. He was accompanied by his mother, Mrs. W. H. Lytle. Miss Alta Siphang tosti "Sernata." Miss Smith's ability to produce full, high, round tones gives to her audience a sense of security and pleasure. Other special numbers Prof. Wort S. M.; Miss Ann Sumner Prof. Wort S. M.; Professor Prof. W. B. Dalton; an violin solo by Professor Morse; and a violincello solo by Professor Dalton.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 24, 1917
WOMEN PLAY OFF FINALS
FOR BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Two women baseball games will be played this afternoon on the women's athletic grounds south of Robinson Gymnastium. The sophomore nine will clash with the senior team and the ever-victorious junior nine will play the freshman nine. Fat Nelson will umpire both games.
The women this year are taking more interest in women's baseball than in any previous year, according to Coach Haddel Pratt. The junior-team slush this afternoon will practically decide the championship this year.
Members of the Women's Athletic Association held a stunt party last night in Robinson Gymnasium.

KANSAS NATIONAL GUARDS
WILL NOT MOBILIZE-JONES
Captain Jones received information this morning that there would be no preliminary mobilization of the National Guard before they are sent to the training camps in the South August 5. This order is of particular significance to guardmen who are employed on farms as much of the harvesting and threshing will be over by that time.
The recruiting office in Robinson Gymnasium, closes this week, and the recruiting officers are making strenuous efforts to get enlistments before the University men start for home for their summer vacation. They point out that under the present plans students can enlist without being called into service until they have finished their regular summer's work.

DRAFT LAW MAY TOUCH
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
The Important Question Now is "To Register or Not to Register"
The most puzzled men on the Hill today are the national guardsmen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty-six, who are not to register—that is the question.
The new law says that all males between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, inclusive, except officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, the national guard, and naval militia, while in the service of the United States, shall submit to registration under the provisions of this act.
Are the members of the national guard in the service of the United States? That is the question which the guardsmen are unable to settle. They are well aware that they are not in the federal service in the sense in which they are law enforcement on the border; on the county Clerk Brune says that since they have voluntarily enlisted, and are in readiness to answer the president's call, they are not subject to the new law. On the other hand, Adjutant General Martin believes that all members of the national guard, except those now in the federal service are subject to the new law and will be required to register.
When told the opinion of General Martin, Mr. Brune stated he would get definite information on the question, but as yet nothing definite has been learned. The guardians are now hoping to help all that will be required to register for the draft, since they have volunteered without compulsion or draft.
New Members Are Elected to Board of Control and Plans Made for the Autumn
The Kansan board, which controls the publication of the Daily Kansan, is preparing for the opening of school next fall. Last night the board elected twelve new members who were chosen on a competitive basis for valuable work on the paper. Those elected are: H. C. Hangen, Raymond Hemphill, M. C. Lippert, Kefft Marion Lionce, Everett Palmer, M. L. Peek, Joe J. Pratt, Dean Reitzel, Marjory Roby, Vivian Sturgeon, and Wayne Wilson.
Eugene Dyer, present assistant news editor, was elected news editor. Dorothy Cole was given the position of chief reporter and she re-elected Plain Tales editor and Mary Smith was made secretary of the Kansan Board. Don Dwight Davis was elected officer-in-chief some time later to his duties in that office in the fall.
At the close of the semester Herbert Howland retires as editor-in-chief. The other seniors who will be automatically retired at the close of school are: Vernon A. Moore, business manager, Helen Patterson, Robert H. Reed, Wilbur Fischer, and Alfred G. Hill.
MAY REGISTER AT UNIVERSITY
Registration may be made at the business office Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. It is probable the registration may be made at the office as soon as it special hours are established, an announcement will be made later.
Arrangements have been made by University authorities for University students of the draft age to register at the business office on the first floor of Fraser Hall. This will save students' staying in Lawrence for commencement suites (see below) from going home or to the county clerk here for registration.
The War Department's plans provide that educational institutions may, for the convenience of students, arrange for registration at the institutions themselves. To do this here some one at the University will be deputized as a registration clerk and will handle all student registrations.
Students Who Are Unable to Go Home Will Be Permitted to Send Name by Mail
According to Prof. W. W. Wheeler, University marshal, those who register here need not fear the penalty on this account, as the names of all who register will be taken and certified by the clerk.
Owing to the heavy penalties for failure to register, many students have been somewhat anxious regarding registration. Some have feared their registration cards mail service, their registration cards, or each teach their home precincts by June 5.
Phi Alpha Tau, dramatic fraternity, held initiation night at the Eldridge House for Alan Burch. Preparation to the initiation a banquet was served.
HOLIDAY MAKES CHANGE IN ALUMNI DAY PLANS
No Alumni Ball or Cancellor' Reception Since Simplicity is Feature of Week
Commencement week will be as attractive for visitors this year as in former years, regardless of the fact that many of the senior men will not participate. The program will be necessary but will not deteriorate the value of the week.
Because June 5 has been declared a holiday, the Tuesday afternoon program will be changed. The Chancellor's reception and the Alumni Ball will not be held this year. The band concert will be given during the class breakfast, eight o'clock Tuesday morning. the alumni address will be delivered at ten instead of eleven o'clock Tuesday as formerly arranged. the alumni business meeting will be changed to eleventh-o'clock.
Students are urged by University authorities to stay for Commencement Week to fill up the gap left by senior men going home. Some sororities are compelling their members to until after Commencement this year.
William Jennings Bryan will give the Commencement address at ten o'clock Wednesday morning in Robinson Gymnasium. The subject of his talk will be "Fundamentals." Imma will address the degree addresses will be conferred.
The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Frank G. Smith, of the First Congregational Church of Kansas City, Sunday, June 3. The subject of the address is "The Fundamental Factor in a Successful Life."
The alumni address will be given by J. M. Challis, LLB. '94. Miss Kate Stephens, A.B. '75. A.M. '78; Scott Hopkins, A.B. '81. A.M. '90; and Chancellor Strong will speak at the memorial services Tuesday morning.
WAR MASKS USED AT K. U
Chemists Use Apparatus to Work With Dangerous Gases in Laboratory—Safety from Fires
War is here indeed. Gas masks are being manufactured and worn on the Hill. The department of chemistry has just added to its equipment three gas masks—one direct from the front and donated to the department by Mr. Charles Greisan, who made in Lawrence after this model.
The masks are a preparedness measure to be used in case of explosions of chlorine with which Dr. H, P. Cady is experimenting. This gas contains a small amount of chlorine gas, but causing little damage.
"Chlorine is the chemical the Germans use in their gas bombs," said Prof. P. V. Faragher. "The explosion here today caused little trouble since only a small amount of gas escaped, but a large amount may doode and we need to protect us to save our lives. We keep them at hand ready for use in an emergency."
If the mask is worn, a man can work safely in the gas, and prevent damage from fires starting from explosions.
K.N.G. WANTS MORE STUDENTS
umbalance Corps Opens Recruiting Station in Robinson Magnesium
for a New Company
A recruiting station . has been opened in Robinson Gymnasium for an ambulance corps unit of the Kansas National Guard. The command now has ninety-five men. It received sixteen combat-ready recruits to war strength, 150 men, and and effort is being made to get K. U. men into the corps.
Captain E. R. Tenney, a practicing physician in Kansas City, Kans., will command the new company. Dr. Richard Speck of Kansas City will be first lieutenant. It is the policy of the men who are organizing the corps to recruit as many university students as possible from the University of Ottawa, from the Agricultural College and from the University have enlisted.
The following men of the University have enlisted in the corps: Karl Brown, John Browley, Chester Moehlen, Michaels Clinton, Peterxter, Doyle Buckle and Phil Gibson.
The company, after being recruited to full strength will be ordered to Fort Riley or Leavenworth for three months of training.
Jayhawkers for All
"The Jayhawker office will be kept open Saturday morning and next week until all the books are sold," said Arnold Nordstrom this morning. "We still have a number of annuals that are not spoken for and any one can get them at the Fraser Check Stand."

DEFENSE COUNSEL PLANS
TO MAKE ONE COMMITTEE
The Kansas State Committee on hospitals, surgeons, nurses, and the corresponding Federal Committee meets in Kansas City May 29, to consolidate into one committee. Drs. M. T. Sudder and John Sundwall of the faculty of the School of Medicine are on this committee.
It is probable that a state committee on Red Cross organization will be made official by the Federal Red Cross Society soon. The State and Federal Committees have been working separately in the past, but as the United States has worked in common if they are not made a part of the national organization.
Committees on recruiting, defense, and vagrancy now are being organized for practical work. These committees comprise many of the Division of Public Defense.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Here's a boy who likes school so well that he comes on the Hill when he is not supposed to, thereby missing one hour of sleep. And sleep is a valuable asset these times. Wm. D. Nutting of the Sigmama fraternity and a freshman is the boy. Bill came up this morning for an eight-thirty class which is one of these three hour classes meeting on M.W.F.
'Tis Student Day. Tra la.
And tomorrow's the day we get to see the proofs writhe in anguish and sit their finger nails and scratch heir heads and swallow their gum and yach cherry cakes and make the quizis for next week just a little harder.
These question marks thus: ?. And these R. J. things are getting on our already shattered nerves. The latest is a ? tacked onto the bulletin board. Says it is going to happen May 27. Now if they don't hurry up and tell us we are going to quit school that's what.
Who fixes straw hat day. anyhow? asks Anxious Inquirer.
Well—the merchants are responsible, mostly. They have to sell their supply of hats and by naming the day they wear them, they'll get the hats. Up to Kansas City the hatters took three meetings before they could decide upon which day every man, young or old, should blossom out. We can imagine the meetings. About as exciting as a Pan-Hellenic meeting with a group of people in Last year weather made the date two weeks earlier. This year it is today. Did you have yours on?
To all those gawking creatures who looked and smiled at the class in free hand drawing which was pgspectiving Spooner Library yesterday afternoon: They were human folks just as you and me and the stone steps they sat upon were as hard as the steps to be taken of these steps. And the bunch on the steps had to get its grades. So it was no laughing matter.
Talk about Ruth St. Denis and Mary Garden. K. U. is coming up, down on the tennis court south of the Hill yesterday a girl was playing board games, beddings. In other words, she was barefooted. Back to nature! Rah!
The Math Club, besides enjoying itself with squares and triangles and straight lines, gets frivolous—really so, sometimes—and does things unheard of. This last is going to happen this week, and you will look at the time. It is six bells in the a. m., watch, naughtyly speaking. Yeah, you've guessed it; it's a picnic. The imitators of Aristotele and Archimedes and Triangle Mike are to meet at Fourteenth and Massaun at 10 a.m. and from there start. They go first to the classroom then will select some place to spread their breakfast. Shades of all lines*
Over in the geology classes they tell you the world is annually growing colder. And we know that the higher the temperature, the more with this data before we use, we proceed:
On the twenty-second day of May, 1917, Miss Margarethe Hochderfer, who conducts a class way up on the fourth floor of Fraser had to deliver a German class of an hour of instructed just because the room was so cold.
Now go to it, geologists, and prove your point. There's the dope.
Grad Magazine Out
The May edition of the Graduate Magazine is being mailed today. This edition does not show any of the evil effects of the war, as it is a full, newy number and has several articles interesting to the Old Grads. A good cut of the new bridge across the Kofa lake and a landscape map of the planting on the campus will also meet the hearty approval of the graduates.
The Math Club will meet at the corner of 14th and Massachusetts street Wednesday morning, May 30 at 6 o'clock for a breakfast hike.
STUDENT SPEAKERS TO GRILL PROFS FRIDAY
"Naughty Rally" Deal and Paddle Steal Rouses Student Ire to Fever Heat
"HIDE HANGING" BY SEVEN
Six Men and One Woman Will Put Across the Annual Gridiron Stunt
The complains and the grievances students of the various schools of the University have been accumulating during the year will be aired in Fraser Chapel at 4 o'clock tomorrow at the expresses at our student speakers. This is the day students are free to register their "kicks" and the Student Day affair Friday promises to be no exception to the rule according to Walter Havekorst, president of the Men's Student who will be in charge of the meeting.
IN RE NAUGHTY RALLY
The speakers have been chosen and are ready to talk. Cecile Burton will speak for the College. She is the second woman in the history of the school, who spoke for the students. Add Dykes, who spoke last year, was the first.
"Doc" Burch has been chosen to present the case for the School of Law. He is expected to vent the spleen of the laws re the "Naughty students" over half of the nine student martyrs were "dicapes or Uncle Jimmy".
Charles F. Sloan will give the Engineer's opinion of the turmillo and unrest of the other schools on the hill. The only "kick" the engineers are likely to make is that the laws have forced them to face the furious coerce while the khaki-shirted must use field glasses to enjoy their company.
DIAGNOSIS BY MEDICINE MEN
Much mystery surrounds the speaker for the department of journalism, but the latest reports say he will be deaf, dumb, and blind. He probably will make himself better known than any other spellbinder. The Daily Kansan is well informed on student activities and the innovation gives notice of being a real treat.
TELLS HOW ADS ARE MADE
The other speakers are Walter Priest for the School of Medicine; Charles F. Suffield, School of Education, and Wesley Childs for the School of Pharmacy. These schools always offer education to others and the way politics are run.
F. L. Hillman of Kansas City Explains Tonight Way Department Stores Simply Human Needs
Stores Supply Human Needs
Have a great department store understand how to supply every human need, from hairpin to tie, and how it gives the public the news about its universal service, will be explained to journalism students tonight by F. L. Hillman, advertising manager of the Jones Store in Kansas City.
Mr. Hillman is a young Kansas man who has made rapid advancement in advertising work by his quick understanding of the secrets of advertisement work by his quick understanding of the secrets of advertising effectiveness.
His lecture will be the last of the journalism series for the year which has included a dozen of the best journalists and specialists in the Middle West.
The hour for the lecture tonight is seven o'clock and it will be over before eight. It will be held in the lecture room of the journalism building,
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WANTS OLD BOTTLES
Have you any bottles in your home? If you have the University Hospital wants them. During the last year ten gross of bottles have been given out by the hospital and then returned. So under the bed, in the church, or somewhere about the students' rooms, there are 1440 bottles.
When you pack your trunk and discard your other invaluable, just put those bottles you have gotten from the hospital into a sack and put them in the university Hospital. They are useless to you and valuable to the hospital.
Convocation Tomorrow
The last convocation of the year will be held Friday at eleven o'clock. The first three periods will be shortened to the usual forty minutes and the 11:30 classes will not be held.
