WAR SCARE WILL NOT AFFECT K. U.
Too Late to Start Military Training for Immediate War—Prof. Moore
FACULTY MEN DISAGREE
Capt. Jones Maintains That Military Training Should be Compulsory Here
What effect the present war scarcity will have upon the system of military training in the United States and whether military training will be introduced into the universities and colleges of the United States, are questions American people are asking today.
MILITARY TRAINING IMPRACTICAL
In answer to the second question Prof. B. F. Moore, of the department of history, said this morning, "I do not think that the present situation will bring military training to the universities. It is now too late to get any plan of military training in force for an immediate war.
MILITARY
"I heard" to military training for K. U., he added, "I think that it is impractical and useless for Kansas or any other college or University to attempt military training as a means of preparedness. Institutions of this kind have neither the time nor the room for it. This practice develops a type of tin soldier who more often serves in the field and 'shoulder arms.' The only benefit from such training is the physical exercise and control effected by it."
UNIVERSITIES FURNISH OFFICERS
Capt. F. E. Jones, of company M, believes that military drill and training in military science should be as important as it is in the University of Kansas, because it develops better control of one's faculties than gymnastics.
"If the universities and colleges would demand a certain amount of military training there would be less need for compulsory training," said Mr Jones, this morning. "These institutions would turn out a group of men, who because of their training in connection with their education would be in a position to command." He added that educational institutions would in a three part solve the military problem as far as officers are concerned."
IF BUGS DECLARE WAR,
HUMANS BEWARE!!
Outnumber and Outweigh Us.
"People owe their existence to the fact that conditions are unfavorable for the growth and development of insects," is the theory advanced by Prof. P. W. Classen of the department of entomolery.
According to Professor Claassen,
the house fly would be one of our
greatest enemies if the struggle with
foes, the struggle with fate, and
the struggle between individuals did not
keen it down.
"If conditions were ideal, and we start with two flies in April, by April we would have a progeny of 191,010,000,000,000,000. If these were scattered across the earth they would cover to a depth of forty-seven feet."
The progeny of a female San Jose scale has also been worked out and during one season the offspring are well-filled providing rhone have been destroyed.
"If one female house fly and its progeny found conditions favorable for growth and development in a city of fifty thousand population," said Mr. Husband. "The situation would suffocate before they could escape from the city."
The average number of eggs laid by an insect is between four and five hundred. Only about one-half of one per cent of these reach the adult stage. This keeps the number of insects about the same from year to year. Sometimes the conditions are favorable for growth of one species of insect, the result is we are visi- to a plague as the grasshopper plague of Kansas in 1876 which destroyed the entire vegetation of the state.
If the present insects should mobilize into one vast army and should declare war on the animal kingdom, they could put an end to the European war in less than a week. They could lay waste to the entire world if they only had organization and were not hindered by weather conditions, number of species of animals, composes over half of the numbers of animals life and their combined weight exceeds the weight of all other forms of animal life.

BY THE WAY—
No Cares for 42 Days
There are worse things than being a groundhog. He can retire to his comfortable burrow under the earth and remain there for the six weeks of cold. He does not have to worry about gas pressure, nor be deprived of his breakfast, nor be turned into an icicle. He has no eight-thirty class. His room-mate does not borrow his tama-onshanter or his sweater, so he stays in the year. He does not have to heed the voice of Big Ben. He knows that when he wakes it will be spring instead of colder than the coldest regions in Milton's Hades. There is some advantage in being a groundhog.
