January 11 Is Date Set for Next issue of Humorous Magazine
Magazine
The next issue of the *Sour Owl* will come out in Jan. 11 if enough copy is turned in by students, according to the *Sour Owl* staff. This allows only a trifle more than thirty copies of the staff is especially anxious that it start coming at once. "The big shortage has always been in literary copy. The hilt cartonniers are very good in turning in their work," she says. "They have to be very backward in exerting themselves in behalf of the *Sour Owl*," said George McGuire, editor, in commenting on copy for the next issue. "Work should start at once and continue until next three weeks with rapidity a good *Owl* is expected." he added.
The Grid-Grad number of the Sour Owl was a success as far as sales were concerned. About fifteen hundred copies were sold on the campus during April and May, but after mately five hundred were sold the next day at the stadium before the K. U-M. U. game. After copies for the K. U-M. games were sent out, very few copies were left over, according to Bob Belsilie, circulation manager, and John Patti, business manager. A complete catalog was available and published in a few days.
The next issue of the Sour Owl is expected to be a thirty-six page magazine if sufficient copy can be obtained. With an enlargement such as this quite a number a new features can be used and different departments installed. The business staff is doing its share in getting advertising so the only thing that will govern the size of the magazine is the copy that is turned in, according to the editor. The deadline for copy will be Jan. 6.

Germans' Demand for Old Colonies Is National Issue
Berlin Government Informs Allies It Will Contest Mandates as
Reward
(United Press)
Berlin, Dec. 1.—Germany's demand for the return of some of her ex-colonies is now a live issue in international politics.
Before and during the conference at Locarno, Germany told the Allies that she expects her entry into the League of Nations to be rewarded with a mandate for Tog) and Cameroon.
Once in the League, The Berlin government means to press this demand vigorously. And it doesn't take the fate of the campaign but official circles here are optimistic and believe that Britain will facilitate the delivery of the expected manifesto.
Oninations Differ in Germany
Intde of Germany, however, there is a difference of opinion as to the desirability of regaining lost colonies. There are arguments that liberal groups within Germany are by no means overly enraged in the thought of this country's re-emergence.
The former owners of plantations in Cameroon, who lost their possessions after the war, have been repurposed as centers of education and today the German planters are again masters of the Cameroon plantations. By granting Germany a mandate over Cameroon, the League world body has given its leaders more power on an accustomed basis.
Critics Will Foot Bill.
More radical circles in Germany, insist that the return of the ex-colonies to Germany is a trap, calculated to embroil Germany in impending colonial wars. Germany, say these critically important allies, will militarily, and similarly, for each adventure.
It must be emphasized that those protists enaminate from a minority and that the chances decidedly favor the success of the ruling German parties, who demand a return to colonial expansion. But the anti-colonial groups in Germany will still be heard from. Time alone does not prove the truth in their assertion that German colonial revival will conjure up new varella.

Court a Challenge to Modern Science, Says Dr. Fosdick
Nations of World Seeking Escape From Warfare, Lecturer Tells Students
"The world court is a device to meet he challenges modern sciences has even us." It was stated by Raymond P. Leaskell, publicist and lawyer, in his address at the all-University symposium on geometrical mathematics this holiday morning.
This is the generalization which was expressed by the spoken athlete in the past and now world through the past few generations. "The rise of modern athletics and mechanical advancement" has illustrated all corrections of time and space.
"The effect of this progression has been to bind the world together with the ties of trade, commerce and understanding. The world has become much more integrated today sixty nations live in close communion with each other. The thing desired at the present moment is a means of escape from the warfare that has been created, that economic minorities bring between these nations."
Coart History Outlined
Outlining the history of the world court movement since the Hague conference of 1859, Mr. Friedel explained the difficult attitudes and the resistance of the people to the perfection of the movement. The four plans considered by the United States in regard to entrance into the plan were explained by the speaker, and the arguments that have been put forth by the statutesman was stated and refuted.
"The world court movement in a progressive thing." Mr. Foodchild stated. "The Permanent Court of International Law has three years now and it is a pungent concern. Scrutinize cases, involving question of relative importance to the nations of the world have been successfully adjudicated in the courts. The nations who were parties to the controversies have been naïfed."
Moverman An American Idea
The speaker explained that the movement is not an European idea, but that it is solely American, "the uprising was born in this nation, but it was an American sort of American statism," he tated. "Are we going to forsake the dan now that all the important missions of the world have assented to? I don't rather specific that the union which initiated the movement did not believe in it strongly enough to join hands with the other nations?" In concluding his address, Mr. Foehledick said that some action be taken by the United States. "Modern science a pushing us. A decision must be made in the United States must take her share of the responsibility of making the new venture a success or a miserable failure."
Student Poll Taken
Ballots were distributed at the close of the assembly for a student vote upon the question. "This poll is of a snare nature," E. H. Lindsay, chancellor, explained before the ballots were given out. "The result as shown in our vote will not materially affect the movement." All we ask is that your home open without breaking it upon your familiarity with the subject.
It had been planned to have a speaker opposed to the movement enunciated in a joint address with Mr. Forsick, so that the students might hear both sides of the question before casting their opinion, but it was impossible to secure the services of a well-known man.
