W. C. A. secretary, who spoke in chapel this morning on the International Convention to be held in Kansas City this winter.
Associations Hold College Men an Women of Every Country on Membership Rolls
"I would like to give you some idea of the relationship these two associations hold to the great world movement, which has as its members students of forty different nationalities over the world who are not divided in national lines but have a common work and a common faith. There is no distinction as to race, color, or language in this work. It has over 150,000 members of real collegiate standing, not including the large number found in secondary schools. This is siempre el que allound in one common purpose and work, men and women working hand in hand.
"The purpose of the movement is threefold; to unite the students of the world in a Christian fellowship; to publish information concerning the work of Jesus Christ and woman of the student world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Student Volunteer Movement which is a part of the Student World movement has a specific work to do, the recruiting for the mission field, the forward mission field.

K. U. DEBATERS TALK TO A "DRAW" DECISION

ENGLISH MAGAZINE
DEFENDS HARRY KEMP
"Everyman" Thinks Kansas Poet May Not Be An Undesirable
A good word for Harry Kemp, poet, and former student of the University of Kansas, is given in the current issue of Everyman, an English periodical of considerable interest. Kemp and himself in a transatlantic line, and was made to do menial work when discovered. On his arrival in England he was sentenced to thirty days hard labor to be followed by deportation by a British admiralty. The Everyman says of Kemp,
An unlooked-for result has just attended the operations of the Allens Act, whereby undesirables are excluded from Great Britain. There has just been sentenced to a prison who happens to be not only an American, but a poet of some distinction. Witness the following verses:
"I sing the song of the great clean guns that belch forth death at will. 'Ah, but the wailing mothers, the lifeless forms are still'"
I sing the song of the billowing flags,
the belles that cry before.
the lips that speak no more"
I sing the clash of bayonets, of
'Ah, but the skeleton's flapping rags, the lips that speak no more!'
I sing acclaimed generals that bring the victory home.
shoes that hass and cleave.
And wilt wilt sing the maimed ones,
too, that go with pinned-up sleeve?"
I sing of hosts triumphant, long ranks of marching men.
'Ah, but the broken bodies that drip like honey-comb!
"And wilt thou sing the shadowy hosts, that never, march again?"
hosts that never march again;
Surely a man who can write thus is not quite the undesirable we want to get rid of?

It will be a great game tomorrow. Kansas must take at least 750 rooters down to see it. The Union Pacific special will leave the depot in North Lawrence at 9:20 the band, the coaches, the team, the cheer leaders, everybody will be on the train. A good time is before the minute of the way, and the more that take the trip, the worse Kansas will beat the Argies.
The game will be the biggest contest in Kansas tomorrow. Both teams are heavy, both teams are fast, Manhattan is brimming over with "pep," and Kansas is making preparations to bring her under "condone" one and all to the Agricultural school to witness the game.
Kansas beat the Aggies on McCook last year, 19 to 6. The Aggies were conceded to have had the stronger team. But the old Kansas spirit, fostered by Uncle Jimmy Green, came to the front and the Farmers went down into glorious defeat.
This year the situation is absolutely reversed. Kansas is known to have a strong team. The Aggies have lost two games already this season. Southwestern, a small college, defeated at 13 to 10 and defeat at 18 to 10, the Nebraska Cornhuskers defeated Lowman's prides 24 to 7.
But the Aggies have come back lately. They defeated the Kansas Normals last week by a heavy score. Coach Bond, the Kansas freshman mentor, looked them over in that game, and said they were strong in every line of the game. Howenstein, their booster, can drop back to his 40-goal season to beacute goals from every angle. Sidovsky, Loomis, Prather, for the Aggies line up strong, far stronger than ever before this season.
Let's go tomorrow, fellows, if we have to walk.
