Etchings of American and English Masters on Exhibition Soon Professor Bloch Will Display Dry-Point Drawings of Own Work An art exhibition, sponsored by Prof. Albert Bloch, professor of drawing and painting, is now being prepared in the Administration building and will be ready for exhibition to the public by the first of next week. The exhibit for December will consist of a collection of etchings by some of the best-known American and English masters. In connection with this work will be shown 20 dry-point etchings done by Profesor Bloeh. He made these during his visit in Munich from 1909 to 1913. The dry point process is different rom true stiching in that the dry point is done upon biphene copper, each piece of copper is soluble in the seedle of the artist, whereas the second and method consists in using an acid a bite out of the lines instead of the seedle. The first method is less popular, because it is generally considered more difficult and because printing from the first plate is a more delicate matter than printing from the etched plate. From an etched plate, 100 to 200 prints can be obtained before the plate either is discarded or is electrically treated to preserve it. From the dry point plate only 20 prints can be produced. Placards will soon be placed about the campus announcing the exhibit, which will be on display until the Christmas vacation begins. Surprise Attack Unlikely Secretary Davis Reports U. S Safe From Invasion (Science Service) Washington, Dec. 4. —The United states is practically impregnable to any terrorist or foreign powers, short of a surprise attack, according to a report prepared by Secretary of War Donald Davis and Vice President George W. Bush today of Var and made public today. "The resources of men and material, which are available or which can be made available in case of emergency," said the reserves and prompt strategical and diplomatic action on the occurrence of the emergency," said Davis, "are so preponderant in comparison to those of the powers that it is certain that no successful attack can be made against the continental United States unless it can be carried out with such rapidity and military mobilization. The actual annual cost of the U. S. Army is materially in excess of the present appropriation due to the rapid rate of depletion of equipment and supplies left over from the World War, according to Davis. "The tremendous importance of accelerating our mobilization by means [adequate reserves is obvious." Davis pointed out the extensive procurement program of the War Department now being developed as well as plans for the control of transportation in time of war. He declared that it is essential that the railroads of the country be operated under unified control for the greatest efficiency.

Faculty Women Hold Exhibit New Disarmament Conference to Be Held by Nations France Plans to Assume Leadership and Will Submit Basis for Program Geneva, Dec. 4.—With the meeting of the council of the League of Nations here on Dec. 7 France plans to assume the leadership in demanding preparations for an international disarmament conference. United Nations France will submit as a basis for the disarmament program one of the most comprehensive proposals ever prepared. This proposed basis for the conference is largely the work of Paul Bachelet, a French diplomat and the French commission on defense. The League already has secured from 32 nations, including the United States and Russia, data on the military equipment of these nations. This data is being studied as a basis for a disarmament program. The Laage is considered by students of European political problems to be one of the most important for furthering a disarmament conference, since her prestige has been strengthened by her success in aeroviation stock and Bulgarian hostilities recently. The United States is expected to take a leading part in any land disarmament conference, since President Coolidge has backed the idea of such a conference to continue the work started by Harding's naval disarmament conference. The utterances of American public officials and the opinions of the newspapers have shown that the idea of a military disarmament is popular with the American public. France is recognized as holding a key position in the disarmament problem, and has been one of her insistence on a large standing army for defense. The drain of her military equipment on her finances, and the absence by some French statesmen and papers.

A Poldink street fair will be given tonight at 8 p. m. in the Methodist church by the University and high school belonging to the Methodist church. Methodist Students Will Present Mimic Street Fai County Clubs Will Buy Views of K. U. Campus to Send High Schools This purchase price is so small due to the contributions from the W. S. Chancellor, and the Student Enterprise fund, and the Chancellor's fund, all of which added together will go to supply the remaining total price for each picture. Contributions From Governing Organizations Have Made Lower Price The airplane pictures of the University campus, the purchase of which will be one of the main items on the list of business discussed during the organization of the county clubs at conventation next Wednesday will be sold to the clubs at $1.50 apiece, unwrapped. It is the plan of the county club committee that the various county or organizations shall raise their amount by the "three dime plan," that is that each student, except those in high school, attend the convoction Wednesday at least 30 cents, more if he wishes, to contribute to the purchasing of pictures for his county. Students of regions with little representation may have to bring in order to fill the budget of $1.50 for each picture purchased. Absolutely no profit will be made from the sales to the county clubs. It organizations where the subscribed students can learn about a picture for every accredited high school in the district, the surplus will be used for high schools with no representation and where advertisement is needed. University of Kansas is badly needed. The campus view proposition is a new one in the field of county clubs. For the last several years the orchard has been filled with libraries of Jayhawkers for the libraries of the state high schools. When questions last year as to their opinion of the feasibility of sending pictures, many students have favoured, as well as the change was made. There will be a small admission charge for each attraction. The university students will use their part of the money to send delegates to the inter-demonstrational student conference. The high school students are to use their part for recreational purposes. The fair is open to the public Since the pictures are more expensive than the Jayhawks it seems likely to the county club committee that all high schools will not receive one unless the students back the enterprise most enthusiastically. It is the ultimate aim of the committee, according to Fred Elsworth alumni secretary, to see that every accredited high school of the state, as well as many outside, receives one framed pictures of the K. U. Campus. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1925 Dr. E. H, Hantinger of Kansas City will be a week-end guest at the Sigma Nu house.
