UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 12, 1920.
Leap Year Sees Many English Girls Ready
--true to their journalistic instinct,
the news hounds played the letter up in their respective papers the following day. A week later Sir Nevil's mail resembled the pouches of a matrimonial agency.
(London, (By Mail). Off his habitual guard for a moment, Sir Nevil Majer训 High Commission of Police took London newspaper upon his confidence and showed them a letter from an American soldier, asking for assistance in securing an English wife.
"Three hundred, three hundred and one, three hundred and two," counted the usually tacitum commissario and then exploded. There were letters from all parts of the kingdom and each desired the same thing—to be placed in communication with the lonesome American, who as he expressed it, was "fed up" on American girls.
"I'm one of the million or more Americans who sojourned in England during the war said the Yank. "I got acquainted with your British girls. I like them. I'm feel on the American kind."
So Sir Novil has given instructions that all the actors of injury be forwarded to American forces and will be capable for any seoul that may befall.
STUDENTS WILL TELL OF VOLUNTEER MOVE
University Will Hear Results of Des Moines Convention at Convocation
The all-University convention to be held in Fraser Hall next Wednesday, January 14 at 13:30 will give to the University the opportunity for the University Convention held during the holidays at Des Moines at which over 7000 representatives from all parts of the world attended, to contribute to the convention area to meet with faculty and give their institutions the weekends methods of the United States.
The convocation will serve as a farewell for Mr. and Mrs. McKinley Warren, who are lessee to her husband, South America. The speakers will be Prof. F. E. Melvin; Grace H. Gaskell, c21; Warren B. Cooksey, m23; Mr. McKinley Warren, b24; Ms. Warren before her marriage was Miss Vanessa Hosford.
From the forty-two delegates who attended from K. U. a program to learn of the latest endeavors being made has been arranged which will be of particular interest to students in their communities found in their separate line of work. "The trouble with so many of us Americans today," said one of the returned delegates, "is our extreme provincialism and apparent ignorance of fields of work outstaffed at universities." And had our eyes continually opened at Des Moines by the innumerable entrances from foreign delegates and native representatives who are thoroughly acquainted with the needs in different parts of the world. It taught us to think in terms of world and not separate countries."
An insistent cry was made for professional workers and young men trained in modern business of allorts, physicians, lawyers, merchants, bankers chemists, engineers, geologists; young men in practically every field were wanted. The teaching profession was especially in demand.
There is somewhat of a mistaken opinion that the Convention was purely in the field of foreign evangelism. Such is not the case, the need for missionary work in foreign countries being perhaps the best developed field. In a conventionalized field, the convention realized rather than the many professions and occupations should be filled by young men of Christian ideals.

Two of the journalists found Prof. Rice wandering about the streets with several rugs on his arm and had about made up their mind that he had made the trip one of profit as much as the other, because that the rugs were of a rare variety. They were oriental rugs, gathering of which is a hobby of Prof. Rice's.

Kansas Pioneer Under Him
As Orator. Statesman and Leader State Has Only Candidate "All Around"
"There is great demand over the country for a constructive statesman for president, a leader of men, a western man, a man who wore the uniform, a business man, and a magnetic platform orator who can rally the constructive mind of the nation to the Republican party.
Topeka, Jan. 12."Governor Henry Allen of Kansas is the only western man running for the presidency who is not merely geographical," declared William Allen White of Emporia here today. a geographical tree—it is a state ground and Allen is western from the heart."
"We in Kansas have practical, the only available candidate in the country. I don't believe in so-called logical candidates for president, but people Under Governor Allen's leadership Kansas is doing the greatest of constructive legislation of the reconstruction era. "Allen is the only man running who wore his country's uniform overseas among the men at the front and if you ask him what he does, a man who bult and owned a skyscraper newspaper in a 4-story town without sensational methods and self advertisement. An a leader where is his equal? As an orator, as a statesman, as a man among men, Knus has the only ground掌握 can qualify for this class."
Topela, Jan. 12—"We are not trying to throttle capital and labor in Kansas," William Allen White told the legislature today in a speech on the proposed industrial court bill. "We are trying to hold the capital hold upon each other and establish a living relation between them.
"Today we are taking in Kansas a step which must be taken throughout the world. All those interests which are concerned with productive industry we are in effect making public utilities.
"Every age, every century, every decade, see some business or interest formerly considered private business. This is the greatest taper taken over into public interest."
"The public in establishing wages will be interested not in labor as commodity but in labor as a citizen and in ten years the labor unions will look back to this step of the Kansas legislature as the day that heralded the emancipation of American labor, and in ten years capital will regard this day as the beginning of a new era in its organization."

Plain Tales From The Hill
How much would you give anyone for trying to give the "Highwayman"? asked a student in oral interpretation class, who considered this a particularly hard selection to attack. He was careful on the way they gave it," said Professor Mac Murray, "I might give them the dickens."
The cubs are helping to make it possible for this department to exist. Last week one reporter handed in a "plane tale" and another one contributed a "plain tail." All three lacked for vel success in a "plane tail."

Professor Patterson to one of his history classes, "The final quiz has synthetic value—not sympathetic value."

STUDENTS WILL VOTE ON LEAGUE TUESDAY
Polls in Snow Hall Basement Open from 9 to 4:30 o'clock
Faculty to Ballot Tonight
Purpose is to Obtain Country- Wide Opinion of College Students and Faculty
A straw vote on the League of Nations and Peace Treaty questions, known as the Intercollegiate Treaty Referendum, will be conducted at the University Tuesday under the direction of the Board of Trustees. The vote is being conducted simultaneously in universities and colleges throughout the country.
The polls in the basement of Snow Hall will be open from 9 to 4:30 o'clock. All students, both men and women, are eligible to vote. The faculty vote, which is to be tabulated separately from the student vote, will be taken by the chancellor at an assembly of the faculty tonight.
"All students are urged to vote on this great national question to tomorrow," said John Montteith, president of the Men's Student Council, today. "This vote, the first of its kind ever taken, is expected to carry great weight, because it will give an idea of the opinion of a large group of voters at the same time interested voters in the country. Particulars of the straw vote may be found on posters on the bulletin boards."
The form of the ballot for the straw vote, has been carefully worked out by those conducting the referendum to cover all shades of opinion on the treaty and league and has the endorsement of Senators Lodge and Hitchock. The Centres of Public Opinion expressed the opinion expressed in this vote will have a weight out of proportion to the numbers voting because of its uniform subject and its country-wide character. Of the seven hundred colleges in the United States more than 40 percent express themselves in support of the vote and have agreed to carry it out on the designated date.
The plan has been heartily endorsed by a majority of university presidents in the country, including President Hibben of Princeton, President Butler of Columbia, President Hadley of Yale and President Lowell of Harvard. Ex-president Taft approves of the plan.
returns of the vote are to be wired to the Central Committee as soon as completed. The report of these returns will be totaled and sent to the college papers and to the press associations. No other use will be made of them, according to the Central Committee.
