Clever Character Cast
Marks French Comedy
Political Ambitions of a Mustard Manufacturer Ruffles the Course of True Love
The annual French play, "Les Boulinards," a comedy in two acts, was presented at the Little Theater in Green Hall, Saturday. The dialogue itself is very amusing, and the parts were well interpreted, and the French excellently rendered.
Clifford Tenney, in the role of Boulinard, a retired mustard manufacturer with political ambitions, with his pompous, blustering manner never failed to bring a laugh from the audience. His wife, *Pamela*, with her cutting remarks to her husband, taking her duties as housewife more seriously than her husband's career, was played by Florence Butler.
Marion Sawyer showed talent in the part of Cecile, the charming young daughter of the house, in love with Bodard, to whom her father will consent to give her in marriage, only on condition that the young man receives the appointment as suef-prefect, in a small town. Bodard, loses the nomination to a man named Godard, through a mistake in print, and is thought by Boulinard, to have won. This character who goes through moments of agony and joy, as he is likely to lose or to retain his fiancée was taken by Neale Carman. Virgil Hower played the role of Godard, who is really apointee to the position but who after a series of comic situations, is appointed to another post, thus leaving this one to his rival, Bodard
Bruniquel, played by Louis Kendall, is the rival for the hand of Cecile, who comes near winning her bij her flattery of the susceptible Boulhier, and he has to win. Martin took the part of the maids, and Fred Denker and Kenneth Harris furnished the comedy parts in the characters of the inquisitive servants.

Plain Tales From the Hill
WITH THE SHERIFF IN PURSUIT Sheriff J. R. "Rook" Woodward had occasion to notify several witnesses Tuesday to appear in court to testify in the Cajucom case, but he met with obstacles.
"This is the sheriff," he said when he called up Mary Samson, c'20. Mary had been kidded before, so she wasn't at loss for an answer.
"Why hello, sheriff!" she answered
earlyly, "how are you, anyways?"
And while I could not see her face,
Then he started reading the subpoena.
"Well, tell her to come to court Thursday morning," he told her mother.
Sheriff Rook called at Jessie Wyatt's home a little later, but Jessie wasn't in.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is planning to hold a picnic in the country soon.
The person we envy least these days is the information man at the U. P. His calls, chiefly from women, average about five a minute, all inquiries as to the next troop train. But he defuses information impartially, by the time he is about an hour", and the platform is usually crowded with "Dere Mables."
MOONSHINE
All the occupants of a house on Tennessee Street rushed out last night when the city hall bell began to spread the news of the soldiers' imminent arrival. All sorts of theories were advanced, but nothing could be seen. Finally one man glanced up toward the hill.
"Look," he exclaimed, "the whole University is on fire!"
They looked, and saw a large radiant moon just above Fraser.
"The they saved democracy," said the Sarcastic Stude, "and now they've saved me. I didn't study for my 1:30 class."
Prof. M. Ferguson to his accounting class; "If you go into the economics office and do not see Professor Boynton around you are perfectly welcome to use the adding machine."
FAMOUS LAST LINES When's the 137th coming through?
Flagg Wants Kansan Sent to Liverpool University
Paul E. Flagg, formerly of The Daily Kansan writes that he is now attending the University of Liverpool, England. There has never been any school paper in this University and now that so many American students are there with their ideas about student publications, there is a move on foot to start some sort of paper. It is to be modeled after the papers of American universities, and Mr. Flagg asks that The Daily Kansan be sent to him, as it is considered over there to be a model paper.
The University of Liverpool is a co-educational school with about 1200 students. The tuition amounts to about $2.50 per term. A baseball team is being organized and a splendid school spirit is developing in spite of the many different nationalities which make up the student body.
Mr. Flagg expects to return in time to attend the fall session here
Few Senior Engineers This Year

Many men who have been in the service are expected back next fall to resume their work.
You are now Welcome Home, Battery B. You will also be welcomed at the University next fall.

SERVICE SEEN IN ARGONNE DRIVE
Battery B was the first Kansas field artillery to be organized. Its utilization was begun in 1916 by J. F. Amick, who is now captain of the battery. In 1917 the unit was mustered into federal service and was sent to Camp Doniphan, with the rest of the National Guard units. While at Camp Doniphan this battery was merged with several other batteries to make the 130th Field Artillery of the 83th Division.
The battery was in active service in the Argonne drive and was with the division in the Vosges Mountains. The casualties for the whole regiment were very slight, there being only about six or seven men from the whole 1600 killed.
When the battery left here it was made up of 192 Lawrence, K. U., and Haskell Men. Many of these men have by this time been transferred, however, and many replacements have been sent in, but the bulk of the battery is still of men from near Lawndale. Among Amels, who are manding the battery and Lieut Ralph Spots, are both former K. U. men. Other University men with the unit are Verne Russell, Walter Wilhite, and George Coffin.
University students who enlisted in Battery B. are: Ivan H. Anderson, Thatcher W. Benson, Howard Bishop, George E. Coffin, Worthie H. Horr, Lloyd E. Lind, James Reinhart, Lieut. Harry A. Smith, Frank H. White.
