K. U. STUDENTS STAR IN "CEST LA GUERRE"
Interspersed With Song and Dance, Legion Play was a Success
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY, AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 3, 1920
A glimpse into the Verdun trenches of 1918, with very realistic shells bursting at regular intervals in the right wing rear, was the spectacle offered a full house by the American Legion in "C'East la Guerre." Monday night. The second and third acts were continuations of life of the warry hunter of so many lives overseas. The number of whom were overseas veterans, re-enacted their life with the Thirty-fifth division on duty ane. leave.
"Plukey" friend and Craig Kennedy, former University students, were the "stars" of the performance, Plukey as a devotee of African golf, and Kennedy as an Irish comedian. Miss Beth Thomas, who danced for an A. E. F. entertainment overseas, featured in several jumps. Her partner in a successful sand-and-dance was Henry McCurdy, University student.
Mahon Weed, freshman in the college, was business manager of the event, and also took part in the spectacle. The property collection he arranged was very realistic, and amazed the audience with its realism.
The play will be repeated for the benefit of a local hospital Thursday evening at the Bowersock theatre.
Gordon Saunders, another University student, was a decided hit with his piano specialities. He rendered old favorites in novel and interesting ways, and pleased the audience greatly.

French Ankle Story May Cause Stampede
Estein Hilgard, A. R. 17, and for mentor of The Daily Kansan, who is a U. P. staff correspondent in Paris and London, had a signed story in the Kansas City Star the other day, all about frisky ankles and a celebration at one of those alleged frisky Paris theaters. Of course we know that Ed wont see that frisky show entirely in his professional capacity and he would not have been training in these pure portals would not permit otherwise. But w hat we want to fuss about that Ed showed so little judgment in writing such a story that might be printed where these K. U. medians, engineers and laws would see it. Don't you know, Ed, that you're likely to have all of your students trained in the department if they get the notion that training in journalism results in writing about frisky Paris shows. But on second thought, maybe Ed's story won't cause a deserting of the Law School, for w wasn't it the afternoon of the morning that Ed's piece appeared in the paper that Hamilton, former K. U. law student and now movie star, being sued for divorce and a beautiful vaudevillian being named as correspondent. Maybe hopes that a career in law may lead to acquaintance with beautiful vaudevillias will keep the Law School enron free, and maybe I will write no more frisky Paris stories or you'll have all the engineers and media in school taking journalism.
NO WORRY IN BRITAIN OVER STAND OF U.S.
European Conditions Liked to Days Before America Entered War
London, Feb. 2.-America's refusal to take Europe's financial burden is not causing apprehension in British governmental circles in spite of violent outbursts in Parliament it was learned today from official sources.
to take Europe's financial burden is not causing apprehension in British governmental circles in spite of violent outbursts in Parliament it was said. The British officials, while regretting America's delay in ratification of the peace treaty were confident the United States will eventually become a party to the Versailles pact and the League of Nations. The present situation they point out is much the same as that existing before the United States entered the war. The condition of Europe especially of the smaller nations, officials and lawmakers days preceding America's war declaration. Only now in place of German militarism it is financial ruin that threatens.
The position of Great Britain, officials say frankly, was far better than it was in pre-American war days. The jingoists in a certain section of the press they said was not representative of the government.
Secretary Glass' letters telling Europe to get to work has met praise in many quarters it was pointed out. Great Britain realizes the time for charity has passed and that hard work, self sacrifice and reliance upon basic economic laws is European only solution for her present situation.
