SOUSA'S BAND PLAYED TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Famous "Mareh king" Especially Pleased Crowd With His Own Compositions
Miss Hardeman Excels
Sousa Finds Enthusiasm and Alertness Characteristic of University People
NUMBER 62.
Susan's Band. Yesterday might well be called Susan's for the splendid spirit and inspiration given by such an organization as that which played
his discipline given by his an organization that which played to the University and best-hundred in Robinson Gymnasium yesterday afternoon, when the first strains of "Migun" still found many unintended and the users rushed as a result of Sonia's promptness, access to engagement in Topkick the same night.
The concert was appreciated by a responsive audience. No loss was to be expected, for Sousa and his band are an institution presenting a distinct type of music which appeals to the individual at large. One is not comfortable with the formal concert. Nor must be follow the intricacies of form and thematic development. Instead, his senses are a prey to delightful and varied rhythms and charming simplicity of melody, the whole presented by a highly skilled body of men under the directorship of a man with a decided personality, a man who has made for himself a unique position in the history of American music.
Most noteworthy was the composition on Indian melodies by Orem, although the enoe numbers, especially the old Sousa marches were most appreciated. He is truly the "marching."
Miss Hardeman, violinist and completely won over the audience by her charming personality and her charming personality to sustain it.
Souas's concert differed from the way it has come to be known as an institution only in that there was much more of the spirit of the war in his early years. He is a gentleman's esteem and admiration for the young men of America he has been associated with for the past two years in the war. This same feeling was felt by Souas in all of his universities and university students. Mr. Souas was interested in the enrollment in the University this year as compared with that previous to the war and showed little surprise when Souas became a member, because it was the largest in the history of K.U.
"The was has been a great boost for universities," said Mr. Sousa. "Young men who served either over time or with the Army, are brawn and only elementary training."
predominated by a little 140-lob, bundle of bras wearing a gold or silver belt in almost every case. They realized that the army was being run by men who had received a higher technical education and training and they resolved that if they came out of the war would strive for the same kind of training, in be the best kind of a citizen of the country for which they fought.
Dean Butler said this morning that more than $300 had been brought in on the concert and was immediately turned over to the committee, which distribute the funds among families. The guardman still in the coli fields.
"There is a certain alertness and enthusiasm in all the college audiences before which I have appeared which gives particular pleasure to discover. It is present here as in the larger and older schools in the east. You have line buildings and a wonderfull institution as you have here."

HUSKERS WANT BACK IN M. V. CONFERENCE
Dispatch From Nebraska Schoo Indicates Students do not Approve Isolation
The refusal of the University of Kansas to join in the "boycott" of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the friendly attitude of K. U. authorities has been taken by the students and supporters of the University of Nebraska as an exhibition of good sportmanship and a hope that the Cornhuskers return to the conference, with a dispatch sent out from Lincoln.
The University of Missouri and the Iowa State College had also made contracts with Nebraska to play football in 1920, but on the advice of the Missouri Valley Conference, as a result of Nebraska's withdraw from the conference circle, these institutions declared the agreements valid.
During the week which has elapsed since the conference, several governing boards have voted to break relations with Nebraska, and the students and alumni are asking themselves if the University of Nebraska can really gain anything from this policy of "independence action" which has separated it from its old rivals of the Missouri Valley.
A general discussion of the situation has wrought an opinion that the Nebraska authorities made a misjudgment in their decision to financial alumni and students have declared that now is the time for the Cornelius backers to "back track," but there are still many now separate Nebraska from the Missouri Valley Conference, to widen.

German Reply to Allied Note Considered conciliatory by Supreman Council
Huns are Willing to Sign
DANGER OF RESUMING HOSTILITIES AVERTED
Naval Experts Will Determine Penalty for Sinking Interned Fleet at Scapa Flow
Paris, Dec. 16.—Danger of possible resumption of hostilities as the result of Germany's attitude toward the treaty was finally averaged today.
The Supreme Council decided that the German reply to the Allied note demanding acceptance of the protocol was "most conciliating and that a reply would be depushed to Berlin as soon as possible."
Semi-official forecasts of the German note yesterday showed the German government was willing to sign a deal with Turkey to reopen concessions, but it was not until the Supreme Council met today that it was officially learned there was no further cause for continuation of prophecies. The agreement with Germany to enforce the peace terms.
The Council is making arrangements to have the Germans sign the protocol and make the treaty effective before Christmas.
The Supreme Council today ordered a joint session this afternoon of Allied and German naval experts for the purposes of studying the form
that compensation will take for sinking of the interned German fleet at Scapa Flow.
SCIENCE BACKS BIBLE
Contrary to the belief held by some scientists that the theory of evolution, and the story of creation found in the Bible do not agree, Prof. Dinmore After finds in the first chapter of Genesis a logical description of the development of the solar system, as has been proposed in astronomy geology and biology.
Prof. Alter Finds Agreement Between Theory of Evolution and Story of Creation
In the first place, scientists have determined that the solar system was at first made up of a very thin gas. A good description of this nebula is found in Gensia 1.1. "And the earth was waste and void." The first step in the development was when the mists between the earth and the sun separated enough for the light of the moon to touch the earth, the first step mentioned in Genesis 1.5, "and God said, give me the earth, and there was light."
In the formation of the earth, the next step was the formation of a solid surface and the appearance of continets, "and God said, 'let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,' divide the waters from the waters.'"
Biorologists have determined that life was first created in its lowest forms in the depths of the ocean, and later the large sea monsters, sea-fowls, and finally man. This is the exact evolution worked out in Genesis.
"This is hardly an accident," says Professor Alter, "it proves that Genesis must have been written by divine inspiration."

K. U. Taxidermists Stuff Outland's Bear
The one thousand pound brown bear which was killed by Dr. John Outland of Kansas City is in the process of being mounted at the Museum. Doctor Outland, who was in the University of Kansas in 1805 and 1896, killed the bear at Keni Peninsula, Alaska, while on a hunting trip in northern regions. Doctor is an athletic enduranceist while in school and has been several times this year helping to boost the team.
The process of preparing a specimen for the Museum is quite difficult. The bide is placed over a beam and shaved down, all fatty substance and cartilage being removed. The cartilage in the ears out and a sheet of lead of the same thickness is put in its place.
The animal in place of being stuffed is built anatomically.
A body board is used as near the shape of the animal as possible. Angle irons are fastened to the head and added for legs. The head is then fixed on the body and the muscles and tendons are built out with pavement-mache. Then the skin is placed on the form, being stretched in shape. All parts of the body are all removed and placed back after all substance has been removed.
