COACH M'CARTY TAKES B. B. SQUAD OUTDOORS
Team is Preparing for Opening Game With Kansas Normals April 5
The first outside baseball practice will be held tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field when Coach McCarty will call out the battery squad and also the rest of the candidates for the other positions on the nine. The coach planned to start the outside practices today but the weather too dump.
April 5
The coaches believe the squad will be able to get in some good practices before the first game of the season, April 5, with the Kansas Normal nine on McCook Field. No practice were held Friday and Saturday because of the high school basketball tournament in Robinson Gymnasium and the rain which made it impossible to play on McCook.
CRAIG IS CRIPPLED
The battery squad has been working out in the gymnasium for about three weeks and all of the candidates are in good condition with the exception of Halleck Craig, pitcher on last year's Jawayhawk nine. He was the last four five days but he was out to practice this afternoon.
Captain George Smee says the prospect for a star battery is extremely good. Candidates for other positions on the nine have not practiced together before this afternoon, but a great many of the prospective candidates have been working out on the warm days for two or three weeks, practicing in the gymnasium, but the coach gave orders that they should give preference to the battery men, whenever the floor was crowded.
EIGHTY NEW BATS
Eighty new bats were unwrapped by the coach and members of the batter squand yesterday afternoon after a game of softball, they be kept by, the athletic management.
Practices will continue every afternoon on McCook unless rain interferes, according to Coach McCarty. Candidates for the freshman team will be called and the sophomore will furnish competition for the Varsity. The first practice games between the Varsity and freshmen will probably be next week.
SPORT BEAMS
Some one has entered Constant Poirier's locker in Robinson Gymnasium and made away with a five-dollar basketball glove, three pairs of socks, a pair of tennis shoes, and a few other articles. The faculty members have been doing their best to catch the guilty persons but cannot do anything without the co-operation of all of the students.
The first outside baseball practice of the season was held on McCook Field this afternoon. Practices will continue every afternoon unless it runs.
The athletic management has just received eighty new baseball bats from the pitchers' thirty-six of the Batting practice. In order in the practices from now on.
Adrian Lindsey, famous on Missouri Valley Conference gridirons and a K man on the Jayhawker nine in 1915, will be out to make the team again this year. The coach said that Adrian was one of the best "hitters" on the squad two years ago when he played second base.
Every man in the University who has ever played baseball and who is eligible for the Varsity should come out to make the team, according to Captain George Snue.

Book Reviews
A LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE
M. Frank Strang, chancellor of
the United States
"A League to Enforce Peace" is a discussion of the reasons for a league to enforce peace after the present war is over. It has a special introduction by President Lowell of Harvard University in which he points out that the destructiveness of war with its organization is much greater and more universal than the world known up to the present time. He makes it clear that men are feeling that we cannot depend longer upon the gradual effects of bigotry among the nations, but that something must be done when the war is over to prevent such another holocaust of civilization. He is quite right, too, in the statement that the important thing for an unofficial principle is to advocate the general principle not to concern itself with the details.
Mr. Goldsmith also has a preface worth careful reading. He has given words to a feeling seldom expressed but strongly held, namely, that intelligent people feel a sense of shame and chagrin as well as sorrow and horror at the present war. He quotes Mr. Joseph H. Chase to effect that in four centuries war has been the normal condition of society and that peace and not war must be the normal condition of civilized nations in the Twentieth Century. He makes clear in the preface the four proposals announced at the meeting on June 17, 1915, in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, when the Longue was organized, and the two international triumphs that were part of confluence that would be necessary under the operation of the Leoneau.
The book has three parts. The first discusses the forces that failed to prevent war. One of the most striking sections of part one is the discussion of the question, "Do Christians Want War," and "What's Wrong With Diplomacy." Part second discloses a program to prevent war in which there is a discussion of the issue of war, as we have long leagged to enforce peace may be basel. In part two the section on "A Congress of Nations" is thoroughly worth reading as is the section on "Will it Work?" Part three is on "The Creed of Militarism," in which the sections on "Moral Majesty or Gullity Madness" and "The Frontiers of Friendship" are worthy of note, because the nature of war is just as important and distinctive as the notion of patriotism as hatred is not only a dangerous doctrine but a false doctrine. He declares that the theory of Hobbes that warfare is the natural state of man is far from proved and ends the chapter by saying that national and racial inheritance are less important now than social environment and moral ideal that will be ready to say 'the world is my country, to do good is my religion' but that time has not come yet, and forced growth often means premature death."
The final chapter on "Souls in Re-
view" is one. It closes well.
Be the following.
"When Maximilian Harden, British statesmen, or neutral publicists say that Prussian militarism must be
stamped out before permanent peace can be established on enduring foundations, this is what is meant: The theory that the State is the ultimate form of social evolution and that there is no authority beyond the authority of the sovereign State, must be disbanded. That authority edged to have an existence beyond and above the necessities of the nation."—The Macmillan Company.

This is an issue in Lippincott's "Training Series," which includes some half-donor volumes either published or announced as in preparation. All are by special authorities in their fields—which vary from forestry to the street railway bus system, but all are of service to young people who face the problem of choosing a career. This present volume contains an interesting foreword, of generous length by David Belasco, a portrait of Belasco, and seven other good full page illustrations concerned with practical stage authoring. The book is editor of the well known and widely circulated Theatre Magazine.
This exposition of the actor's life is timely, alert, and practical from start to finish. The statement of salaries, the figures for expensive costumes, the form of contract between actor and manager and man, the succession of actors, the genius of Actors during Performance" are among the matters to satisfy the curiosity of the outsider. They help the reader to realize that acting is a business (or profession) as well as an art. Among the matters addressed in this chapter are personality of actors, the problems of costing, the question, pre and con, of histrionic education in dramatic academies. Incidentally there are many references to famous figures of the stage—Irving and Terry, Charlotte Cushman and James McKinney, others. Several of these are quoted. A list of books for the player's library is given.
The substance of the advice to stage-struggle youths is: Here are great rewards for those who can act, who can work long and patiently in comparative obscurity, who can pluck and perseverance — all others should Keep Out!—J. P. Lippincott. Philadelphia. $1.25.

James Wood, the narrator, has returned, disabled, and flown a front in battle, and that he has a battle to fight which is more nerve-wracking than the awful trench warfare on the Somme. Hallucinations, in the form of his would-be normal self, appear to him in moments of excessive emotion, until he feels fear medicine, to his curate, to conviviality, but fails to find permanent rest. The spirit of the times destroys his hoped-for-curses; "blasphemy of hatred and indifference" make valueless his efforts. Finally, in love with the mystery of the world and the solution of his mental struggle. James Wood might be Mr. Brittingham's son going through a mental adjustment

Jane Dodge. Reviewed by Helena Rheba Hooes of the English department at the University of Texas. Except as an effort to present a phase of life on our southwestern frontier which is irrevocably gone, this book has no excuse for being, for Mr. Dodge's main theme has been incomparably better done before him. In a world of letters which contains Tess of the D'Urbervilles and The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, there is no need for further investigation, except in vain to lift her feet out of the mire. In this story, Mr. Dodge convinces us anew that a woman can come up from something, a woman, never.
The scene of the book is laid in one of the border towns by the Rio Grande. The writer brings us pictures of life as it was in the late eighties in a frontier town: scenes in saloons, in hotels, in churches, at weddings, at dinners, in coyotes, coyotes, cactus, dust-storms, all the properties of a stage long since cleared away.
