Great Historians at Work on New World War Book
New, Social and Economic History Expected to Be Furnished Within Five Years
Five Years
(By Science Service)
New York, Sept. 17. — "The biggest enterprise in the history of history," scholars and economists call it. For seven years, 200 historians, thirty-two of whom have held rank of cabinet ministers in their governments, have been at work upon the "Eco-International World History of the World" and the "Carnegie Endowment for International Peace." It will take five more years to complete and will comprise 160 volumes.
This monumental work, which is being assembled for the endowment by its division of economics and history, will tell of the displacement caused by the war in the normal processes of civilization in sixteen countries. As a result of the war the countries affected, each in his own tongue, and in his own way.
Prof. James Thomson Hotwell of Columbia University, as director of the division and general editor of the history, is chief engineer, so to speak, of this epoch-making mobilization of war facts.
Aims of History Are Twofold.
The aims of the history, Dr. Shot well says, are twofold. It is to record what a great war does; when its effects are, economic and social distinct from military. It is to show also what war intrinsically is, this as a means of getting rid of it, or to provide, at least, an answer to these questions. It states men that wars are beneficial to state engaged in them—a necessary surgery in the process of evolution.
The Carnegie Endowment acted with almost journalistic promptitude in ordering the war "covered" on these sweeping lines. The first monographs were called for by the rules for a court to order investigators to be invited. A silver bug corps had only recently escorted Woodrow Wilson through the Place de in Concorde. Stuff-necked, warriors in tunics had scurried been from the scene by gentlemens in frock coats with rips more supply.
The survey will fill 50 volumes of return history and ten volumes of comparisons and conclusions. Multilingual, the work will not be translated, according to present plans, except possibly to provide for an abridgment of the material brought out in America. The history as a whole is not designed for a wide public reader. It is announced as being prepared "by masters for students," to be consulted in seats of learning by men competent and free researchers, and references, who will in turn influence the thought of their time.
The history has taken shape sufficiently for Doctor Shotwell to see indications of some of its major conventions included. Proof of the basic assumption that no nation can underwrite bonds for Mars and make a decent profit; development of something of a new technology in historiography; the introduction of new validity for history written by contemporaries rather than by postity; and finally, the prediction of governmental war control of civil activities as an imperative supplement to all military strategy of the future.
In the selecting of data Doctor Shot-well guided investigation along the lines of the economic mechanisms by which the various powers were controlled from 1914 to 1918 and through nowstair adjustments.
Here, especially, new trails were blazed. For example, Great Britain at the outbreak of hostilities had about twenty persons employed in the army purchasing department. Doctor Spotwell says, at the armistice this bureau had grown to an enormous number of administrative offices, while more than 3,000,000 workers in factories were supplying the army. This growth was recorded in twenty volumes of unpublished official reports.
The Persian middlemen are aroused over the decision of the government to monopolize tea and sugar.
The Swedish fleet will engage in extensive naval maneuvers in the Baltic Sea with the king in command.
The members of the Oxford Union are making an appeal for $30,000 which is necessary to save the society's buildings.
The building of a new water tank with a capacity of 20,000 gallons to be used for fire protection on the Hill, is now under way. The big tank will provide protection which formerly was insufficient, due to the poor water pressure in the city mains, according to H. H. Ball, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The tank is located directly east of the power
F forty thousand homing pigeons were released at Hitchin, England, to participate in a race to their homes in the north.
New Reservoir Will Aid University Fire Protectoin
With the building of the new tank, the University will have enough water to be used for five hours in fire fighting. As soon as the new tank is completed, a centrifugal pump will be installed. The new pump will be $7,000 per unit and will be $7,000 according to Mr. Ball. The work should be completed by Jan. 1.

Chas. Leroy Edson, K. U. Grad. Writes Collection of Poems; Many Selections Are Humorous
Chas, Leroy Edson, graduate of the University in 1904, has written several collections of prose and poetry and is at present publishing them in the form of small pocket editions. Mr. Elson was formerly on staff at the Kansas CSI, size which paper many of his poems were published.
While attending the University Mr Eisen and his brother George wrote "Ballads of the Boys," a collection of poems on University life. These ballads told of curious life, athletics and much more, and were lined treated by Mr. Edison.
His later works show much advenience in style and subject matter. "Pririte Fire," a book of folk rhymes telling how the Western priests were subdued by monsters in the "Covered Waren" was produced.
"Rhymes and Citizens," a volume of poems of the humorous side of county fairs, medicine shows, circuses and queer animals.
"What I Know About Jews," a novel that tells the love life and business life of a Russian Jew who hired Mr. Edson to write his love letters by which he married a rich New York woman.
"Almond Bloom," is a love story written in verse telling of a Yankee "to-getter."
"Dulcinea's Diary," the revelations of an American actress and political adventures. Her final conclusion is "unique in the literature of America."
"Whole Meat." is perhaps the most humorous of the collection. In this edition is an analysis of American cuisine, from the 19th century ever changing style of expression.
Mr. Edison is living at Mr. Pleasant, South Carolina, where he is resuming his literary career. One of his most popular poems is in "The Two-Two Tree Toad," which has been published in publications throughout the country.

The Two-Toed Tree Toad
A tree tond loved a she-tond,
That lived up in a tree;
She was a three-used tree(tond,
But a trooedted was he.
The two-toed tried to win,
That the three-toed tree toad trawl
He couldn't please her whim;
In her tree toad bower with her V-toe
power,
Vainly the two-toed tried.
From the "Ballads of The Boys" published in 1903 Clean Athletics
The she toad vetood him.
(Rudyard Kipling has followed the same idea in a poem)
O. We are the boys that play football.
And no one can tell us we can't!
If our field was the side of a sign
We'd trust to stick of the point.
We climbed to the top of the Rockies.
We climbed to the top of the rockies.
And walloped the grizzlies there.
We'll go to the Swamps of Missouri,
And beard the old Cat in her hair.
Chorus:
For you all love the Jayhawk boys.
The Jayhawks all love you;
And the next time you meet on a battle.
You'll know what they're going to do.
Just choke your laff, and play football:
It's worse if you make a big noise.
You may say what you please—it floats off on the breeze.
But you can't get away from the boys.
If a man here don't play, why, we drills him,
And teaches him how to behave.
If we find he won't do, why, we kill him
