WILSON HASTENS END OF WAR SAYS TEMPLIN
Dean of College Likens the President's Address to the Orations of Cicero
"President Wilson's message has won the war," said Olin Templain, dean of the College, in discussing with a colleague from the University that the President's message to Congress.
"In all probabilities, the message will be suppressed in Germany, but not, I hope, before copies of it have fallen into the hands of every family in Germany. Then we will have the decisive and great battle of the war, fought in the streets of Berlin between the common people and the impoverished, the poor over and the German people will come into their own—and their victory will have been hastened by President Wilson's message to Congress."
Dean Templin has been quoted as a pacifist on numerous occasions in university circles, and he never has spoken out against militaryism or marked stand against militarism and its attendant evils. He is of German descent and holds keen sympathies for the German people, but he has no patience with the German govern-
"For ages the students of foreign lands will read this address of President Wilson just as today they read the orations of Cicero. The President has given us a masterpiece which, regardless of its bearing on the present crisis, will receive a permanent place in literature."
Dean Templin went to Germany as a student in the last part of the reign of Wilhelm I. He saw the 100-day reign of the emperor I. He was one of the present kaiser and heard Bismarck's last speech in the Reichstag.
"I if I were of military age I would enlist before night," said Dean Templin. However, I do not believe an American army will be needed in Europe.
Fair tonight. Somewhat colder in east and central portion tonight with heavy frost. Thursday fair and warmer.

K.U. RESPONDS TO THE PLANS ARE COMPLETE CALL OF COMPANY M FOR PATRIOTIC DISPLAY
Three Men Enlisted at Weekly Drill in the Gymnasium Last Night
TOTAL STRENGTH NOW 44
Recruiting Will Continue Until Company Has Strength of 100
The University made a quick response to the call of Company M of the Kansas National Guards for more men. Three men enlisted in the company at the armory in Robinson Gymnasium last night. Many more enlistments are looked for today. Four uniformed men, Corporal James Grinville, Corporant Charles Hart, private George Moore, and vice Roy Robbins, are on duty as recruiting agents in the trophy room of Robinson Gymnasium.
The first three men enlisted were: Guy Runyan, c'20, of Wichita; W. S. Riley, e'19, of Garnett; and Harold Jones, e'19, of Kansas City, Mo. This brings the company's strength up to forty-four enlisted men. Recruiting will continue until the company has a strength of one hundred.
The advantage of the guard unit over the volunteer force is that the guard already is organized, offered and equipped. It has a backbone of well trained non-commissioned officers who are seen service on the Mexican border, knows his officers and the men with whom he is to serve. Company M enjoys a particular advantage because every officer and enlisted man is a man and all the officers, both company and regimental, have seen service.
GUARD HAS ADVANTAGE

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh! say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whobs broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, we were so gallantly streaming.
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh! I say does the star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty虫 in dread silence reposes,
What is that breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it tifftally blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam. In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream.
Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation,
Blest with victry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
'Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave
'O her the land of the free and the home of the brave!
AMERICA
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of the I sing I:
Land of the pilgrim's others died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
They name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills
They treasure plains hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Love us he be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

IN MEMORIAM
My roommate's bar of soap is gone! A better bar I've selld on seen; It was perfumed and darkish green, And it had lasted fairly long.
O bar of soap! it gives me sorrow
To think how hard I used you then:
How lavish I had always been
You from off his shelf I'd borrow!
But hush! I must not mourn for thee I'll live anew, for hope goes far; Less yearning for the worn out bar "bam some new soap which is to be!"
WEEKLY PRIMER LESSON
WEEKLY PRIMER LESSON
In this a librarian? No, no, it appears to be at first glance, but in reality it is a one detective. What is a detective? One detectives to shadow suspected criminals. A detective controls the lawless element while the librarian is supposed to control the library. Now, do you see the difference? Take Spooner Library for example. Here we have much of the world's knowledge, and it probably will always be stored here. Try to check out a book. You can't; it is one many on the reserve shelf. Seat a driver and prepare to wade through a dirty water in the soothing atmosphere of 90 degrees. You are interrupted. Is it an automobiles cending Mt. Cread? No, little boy, it is merely a librarian quarrelling with one of the students. Did the librarian call him a liar? No, surely you are mistaken.
150 WOMEN ENROLL IN RED CROSS CLASSES
First Meeting Held Last Night Under Direction of Dr. Dorothy Child
The women of the University of Kansas are preparing to do their bit in the war in which, it now seems claim, the United States is to engage women, the fifty women are enrolled for Red Cross training in the classes which have been organized here by Dr. Dorothy Child. More are signing up for the course every day. At the first meeting, held last night, Dr. Child opened the instruction with a lecture on "General Directions for Giving First Aid."
Three courses are being offered to those who enroll. A course in First Aid will be given in ten lessons, Elec courses in Engine and Care of the Sick will be given in ten lessons, while for those who cannot take one of these courses, opportunity is given for instruction in preparation of surgical supplies as volunteer work. The course covers the cost of enrollment and supplies used in the instruction.
There is a prevalent impression that in war time, any woman may offer her services as a nurse, and immediately enter into the work in the military hospitals. But even in the nurses are badly needed, only those who are accepted have had proper training to fit them for the work.
The training course is intended to give the women of the University the experience and knowledge which enable them to volunteer as nurses to the health Enrollment in this class carries with it no obligation to serve.

Resolution Abolishing Exercises to be Introduced in Senate Tonight
TEMPLIN ASKS ECONOMY
Chancellor Wants Entire University to Co-operate to Aid Government
April 4, 1917.
To the University of Kansas:
Now that the decision has been made in regard to war the University is considering steps in its various departments to become as helpful to the government as possible. I, therefore, recommend that all departments and especially those of scientific nature immediately favor as to the kind of work that they might best do and for which they are likely to be called upon.
I, therefore, ask as Chancellor of the University, that a formal report be made to me at as early a day as possible. Yours sincerely,
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.
A resolution abolishing all graduation exercises and all other affairs of graduation week will be introduced in the University Senate meeting tonight, because of the seriousness of the situation. It also seems likely that another resolution will be presented which will do away with the May Fete.
Each graduate is required to pay five dollars for graduation expenses. There are more than 400 graduates this year and if all of this money could be used for the local hospital fund it would do more good at the "front" than for graduation affairs, according to the opinion of sev- cular occupies men who realize the grav- yity of the situation. Permission would have to be obtained from the state auditor. In a like manner, money which is yearly spent on the May Fete would be used for the hospital work.
The other incidental fees including the cap and gown fee of $2.50 could be used also by the seniors for the nation if the graduation was abolished. Their plans probably will be introduced the tivity funds for the country's cause.
"Of the many things learned from the European conflict none is more important," said Dean Tempel, "than the fact that modern warfare involves every citizen, regardless of sex or age. Every one can 'do his bit' at home or at the front. Ultimate success will be determined by economic factor as well as military, and every person who eats or wears clothing, works or plays, participates indirectly in the struggle. He who increases the food supply, by production or economy, is a benefactor."
Dear Olin Templin said this morning the whole nation should conserve the food and clothing supply in the United States.
"Waste in any form may be had only at the expense of the country's cause. Everybody with patriotic feeling, which includes University students, will therefore economize in a reasonable way, and spend much time reasonable, which can be producing anything which will be useful for himself or some one else. We all be glad to have learned the lesson of Europe and should all be willing to do what is in our power to assist in this appalling conflict."
BASKETBALL K'S ANNOUNCED
