Wall Of North College Battered Down By Tank For Victory Loan Drive
Sergt. Lee Naftzer of Wichita Sergt. Walker and Corporal Logan Composed Party
J. R. Holmes on Committee
Corporal Parker, Wounded In Argonne Drive, Spoke in Behalf of the Drive
While four thousand students and townspeople held their breath in suspense, the Victory Liberty Loan tank, the most concentrated agent of destruction that is known to military science battered down the twenty-foot walls of the east wing of Old North College in a demonstration in behalf of the Fifth Liberty Loan drive, this noon.
The tank was in charge of Sergt Lee Naftzer of Wichita, and J. R Holmes, chairman of the Douglas County Liberty Loan committee. Sergeant Walker and Corporal Logan, overseas veterans of the tank corps, occupied the machine, which was an improved design of the famous Whippet two-man tank made in an American factory for use by the doughboys "over there."
The party gave demonstrations on the tank downtown from 8:30 to 11 o'clock, Corp. C, W. Parker, 101st Infantry veteran of the Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and Argonne drives giving some of his experiences to large audiences of high school students and citizens. The tank then followed the street car line up Tennessee Street to 17th Street, where they turned west and ascended the steepest slope of Mount Oread behind Blake Hall.
Corporal Parker, in his talk, told of his experiences in the three big American drives of the war, and the last, the Argonne drive, where he lost his left arm as the result of a machine gun bullet wound.
The tank stopped by the east entrance to Fraser Hall, and Chancellor Strong introduced Corporal Parker and Cameron Orr., Liberty Loan speaker from Kansas City, who made talk in favor of the Victory Loan.
The tank then went to the dismantled ruins of the first building of the University, Old North College, where they demonstrated the effectiveness of modern science against inanimate objects.
Canoe Owners Will Meet to Organize New Club
The tank, after its successful performance, left the crest of old Mount Oread, and returned to the business section of Lawrence. It will go to Haskell institute, where another demonstration will be given.

Hill's Bouquet Contains Three Kinds of Blooms
Flowers blooming on the campus now are honey-suckle, spirea Van Houtte, and wild crab apple. The spreading Morrow honeysuckle has a white blossom and is planted in the beds on either side of the steps of Green Hall. The other variety of honeysuckle is the Tartarian. It has pink flowers and grows high instead of spreading. The beds in front of the museum are filled with Tartarian honeysuckle and Japanese kerria.
Spirea Houttel, which is now budding out is the best known of all the spires. It has a white cluster-like bloom.

hard to read a paper from outside the campus.
The revised text of the covemant of the League of Nations was made public Sunday by the State Department. While most of the changes are minor there are some vital alterations such as the inclusion of the recognition of the Monroe Doctrine. The revised text also reveals the fact that fourty-five nations including the colonies of Great Britain are to be charter members of the League. Germany and her allies are excluded for the present as well as Mexico and Costa Rico.
Military operations against the Soviet government of Bavaria were planned to begin Saturday under the direction of Lieut. General Von Moehl. The Bavarian government has announced that Wurtenburg and other imperial forces are engaged in the movement.
The Bolshiev re-enforcement which arrived recently on the northern front in preparation for a new offensive against the American and Allied troops, have been withdrawn and rushed to Viatka, on the railway from Vologda to Perm, to stem the advance of the northern wing of the Siberian anti-Bolshevist army.
The government is about to start a roundup of draft deserters, who are to be tried and punished as fast as apprehended. According to he report of the provost marshall general there were up to December 20, 1918, 474,861 reports of desertion, more than 111, 839 of which were found to be explainable. Only a registrant who failed to obey an order to report for military duty was classed as a "deserter."
Enforcement of national wartime prohibition, effective next July 1, will be undertaken by the Department or Justice. Attorney General Palmer, in a statement issued tonight declared that "as long as the act remains in force under its terms it becomes my duty to see that it is enforced like all other laws, by the prosecution of such persons as violate it."
The Japanese-Chinese controversy over Kiao Chow and Shantung, laid before the Council of Four on Tuesday, is still undecided. It is understood that Mr. Wilson inclines slightly towards favoring China. Britain and France bound themselves in 1917 to support the Japanese claims, and Italy, having been informed of this agreement expressed no objection.
R. B. Lee, c'08, Hutchison city engineer, accompanied by the city finance commissioner, was at the school of Engineering Thursday and submitted the plans of architects to the department of civil engineering for five new reinforced concrete bridges each to cost approximately $30,000.

Tickets For "Oh, Shoot"
Will Be Sold At Door
Says Schwarz, Manager
Ed. Patton, Author of 1919 Fol-
lies Wrote the Senior
Prize Play
Idea Came From Studies
Professor MacMurray did not Believe Play Original at First Because of Excellence
"The ticket sale for 'Oh Shoot' has been unusually good," said Joe Schwarz, manager of the play this morning. "The entire house is selling fast, but we expect to have a few seats left for those who have not purchased tickets and will want to do so tonight at the door."
The cast of "Oh Shoot" is ready, and will be waiting for the curtain tonight at the Bowersock Theater at 8:30 o'clock. The play is the annual senior play presented by members of the senior class. The play was written by Ed Patton, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, last June, and now a sophomore in the School of Medicine at Rosedale. Patton also wrote the Follies, which were given on the Hill two weeks ago.
IDEA GAME_FROM SEX DETERMINATION.
"The characters are unusually well chosen for their parts," said Professor MacMurray, who is coaching the play. "A great many of them are new at the dramatic game, and they are certainly showing up in splendid shape. The cast has worked hard for a month, and they have the play well worked up, especially after such a short time to do it in. But it is well finished."
Read the Daily Kansan.
Ed Patton got his idea for the plot from his studies as a medical student. He had learned that the slight change in a single germ determined sex and wondered over one-half of the human race assuming a secondary position in matters of authority simply on account of one tiny germ. So from this idea Ed Patton grew the plot for "Oh, Shoot." a play where college girls, tired of the constant prating of an old professor on the superiority of man, decided to turn the tables on the old world and dominate it themselves. So they began making their own dates, instead of waiting for the men to take the initiative, and to their chagrin found that the men used the same excuses to get out of the date as themselves had used so many times on the men. The play has a clever ending, and the entire plot is unusually well connected and well worked out.
ORIGINALLY MARKED FEATURE "The play was so good," said Professor MacMurray, "that when the judges read it over they wondered if Ed hadn't put one over on us. I asked Ed frankly if he had taken the plot from some other play, or a book, or a picture, or what; but he told me that he honestly got the idea from his own head, and no place else. So he received the $50.00 prize offered for the one that was accepted."
There will be two complimentary box parties tonight at the play, George O. Foster and wife, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong and Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Hamilton will occupy one box The other box party has not been announced as yet. Coach MacMurray and Joe Schwarz are attending to the stage properties.
"Few persons realize that walnut and oak trees bloom," said Prof. W. C. Stevens today. "These trees are in bloom right now but hardly any of us notice their blossoms. They have two kinds of blossoms. One appears in tassil form at the base of the spray of leaves on the twig. This tasill form also is called a bract, of corn aid carries the pollen. The other blossom appears between the leaves and is a small red flower. This later becomes the acorn or walnut.
Marie Buchanan, A.B., spent Fri-
 Friday night at the Chi Omega house
 and will attend the Prom.
Professor Steven's class in botany is studying these blossoms now. The blossom which develops into the acorn on the oak is so small it must be studied under the microscope.

Walnut and Oak Trees
Bloom in Springtime
Athletics, Social Life, Fraternities, Journalism and Other Subjects to be Discussed
Elliott a Football Man
"Dad" Elliott, Popular College Man, To Speak Thursday And Friday
"Dad" Was Athlete at North western and Made All- Western Team
"Dad" Elliott will speak to the students on many college subjects Thursday and Friday, at two convocations and three other meetings. His addresses will touch upon athletics, social life, fraternities, journalism, and
various other campus activities. His first talk will be "Social Forces in University Life that Must Be Made Constructive."
"Dad" Elliott has been a powerful speaker since he began his work in the Y.M.C.A. He was born near Gillman, Ill., October 18, 1875. He attended the first student conference at the University of New York united from Grand Prairie Seminary in 1897 and from Northwestern College of Liberal Arts in 1902.
"Dad" was more than a student. He played four years at left end for the University football team, and was named All-Western End in 1901. He was captain of the University track team in the spring of 1901, and paraded across the dash, running broad jump, shot put, 220-yard dash and the relay.
Lawrence Will Not Get Visit of 110th Engineers
Not only in an athletic way was "Dad" popular, because he was appointed to the oratorical contest from the School of Oratory. During his junior and senior years, he was president of the student Y.M.C.A., and was appointed class marshall by the faculty for the exercises of commencement week. After graduation, he became religious work secretary of the Brooklyn, N. Y. Christian Association, where he developed a very large and effective work among men for several years.
It was announced today by the War Department that the 110th Engineers of the 35th Division, would not stop in Lawrence as was first announced. There are but few Lawrence men in the organization, and instead of stopping three hours each in Kansas City and Lawrence, they will stop three hours each in Topeka and Kansas to meet them at the Topeka men, who compose a large part of the regiment, could stop at their homes a short time.
Changes have also been made in the routing and stops of the 137th Infantry, covering from three to six stops and involving a period of two days instead of one, as was first scheduled. The 3-stop plan calls for thirty minutes in Independence, two hours in Wichita, and one and one-half hours in Hutchinson. If the more liberal Kansas itinerary will include almost all cities having men in the train, Lawrence, Ottowa, Independence, Garnett, Fredonia, Forcit, Hutchinson and Wichita.
The 110th Engineers left Camp Mills Sunday it was announced. The 137th Infantry, in which is one of the University companies of national guards, arrived after the 110th Engineers, and will follow shortly in the return to Kansas.
University Graduate Visits Classes Toda
Mrs. Charles E. Marrow, registrar of Colorado College visited at the University today. Mrs. Marrow was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1906, with her major in botany.
"The classes I desire most to visit while spending a few days in Lawrence are those of Professor Stevens. I noticed this morning as I visited his still continues to give interesting demonstrations in his labatory work."
Mrs. Marrow is on her way to the meeting of the association of registrars at Chicago.
Plain Tales From the Hill
NOW IS THE TIME. ETC.
Political note: Leaders of both parties were getting in some good foot-work on the campus this morning. Damp side-walks, muggy placards and sticky paste made the necessary combination.
"Eyes of the World!" and "Eyes of the Soul" were among the features on last week's movie bills. It appears that the eyes had it.

W. B. Brown ceased his ardous labors as boss of the University print shop long enough to pass out a little advice. "When you start out in life," said Mr. Brown, "see that you make your entrance through a door marked 'Office' and not through one marked 'Factory.' Because otherwise you'll be Atlased."
HEROES OF PEACE TIME
He didn't know she had a little sister and remembered her only from long-past high school days, but decide a date with her for the spring party would be highly desirable. So when he called her house and little sister came to the door, he made the dat in blissful ignorance of whom he was talking to. Arrived the night of the party, he called for her and wa greeted by an altogether strange dsl sel who silently made fruitless at tempts to remember him at a fra ternity call which he had not attended But they didn't tell each other they were perfect strangers, and the evening passed off agreeably.
In addition to the other novelties at the Prom, the management managed to inaugurate a new kind of shortcoming. The music arrived as advertised, but they ran out of eats. Also the fire-works went off before schedule, due to the curiosity of three stags.
"Large percentage of full professors on the Hill for Summer session," is announced, "Tanks to appear on the Hill," is a headline. Boy, page the disciplinary committee! And the Lawrence police force.

Judge J. B. Clark Binds Shaw And Hopfer Over To May Term Ot Court
"Uncle Jimmie" Green and Ed.
T. Riling Acted as Counsel for Defendants
Court Room Was Crowded
Cajucum's Hair Was Cut in Oak Hill Cemetery After a Wild Ride
Judge J. B. Clark, examining magistrate and graduate of the University of Kansas Law School, bound Otte E. Hopfer of Sylvan Grove and John Wallace Shaw of Holton over to the May term of the circuit court of this district, at bonds of $500 each at the preliminary hearing Saturday afternoon, on the charges of mayhem, robbery, and assault with intent to injure Jose V. Cajucom, e'22.
"Uncle Jimmie" Green, dean of the Law School, and Ed T. Rilling, graduate of the Law School and Lawrence barrister, acted as counsel for Hopper and Shaw, and County Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Wilson, an attorney U. Law School graduate, pressed the case against the defendants.
HEARING TWO HOURS LONG
The hearing lasted from 2:30 to 4:45, the evidence of the state only being brought forward. The state and the defense both examined the state's witnesses.' Jose V. Cajucon, Plaintiff, Harold R. Hall, editor of the Daily Kansan for the month of April; Russell Charles, a student who rooms in the house in which Hopfer lived prior to the last two weeks; E. T. Gallleger, owner of the house where Cauçum rooms; and Mrs. Ida Nelson, landlord of Hopfer' s and Shaw's rooming house.
Cajucum was on the stand for an hour and fifteen minutes, telling in detail what happened to him the night and morning of April 18. He was closely cross-examined by Attorney Riling, but told a straight story and Riling was able to shake him on only a few points.
CAJUCOM CAUGHT IN AN ALLEY
Cajucon's story was; that he left the Victory Lunch between 12:05 and 12:10 o'clock, in his automobile, going straight home and putting it in the garage across the alley from his rooming house at 1139 Tennessee Street. This operation ook him from ten to fifteen minutes and as he was closing the wire gate next to the alley, a man, Cajucon alleges he recognized as Hopfer, followed by three or four other men, seized him, and threw him to the ground, hitting his head on a wooden post and striking his head on the ground. They broke and lost his glasses, without which he could see. Cajucon's evidence was that he was then seized by the men, choked to stop his "howling" and thrust into a car, which he alleleges to have recognized as a Buick 5-passenger touring, with the top up. After putting him in the car, two men, who according to his story were the defenders, sat on either side of him and bound his arms behind him.
The four or five men, according to Cajucom, all wore greyish masks that covered the whole head, and no hats or caps. His recognition of the defendant was then challenged by Attorney Rilling on the grounds that he defended could not be recognized under the condition. The rope with which he had been held in the towel that was placed around his eyes after he was placed in the car were brought forward as evidence and identified by the witness.
TAKEN TO OAK HILL CEMETERY
After being placed in the car, Cajucum said the driver, who he could not identify, took the occupants to Oak Hill Cemetery where they removed the witness from the car. One of them, whom Cajucum alleges to know by the feel of the body, put his arm around the blindfolded Cajucum and ran a pair of clippers through his long hair from the front to the back. He said the driver was素质 said he recognized by the voice as Shaw, said "That is enough."
Trouvers of the witness were then removed and one of the assailants, whom Cajucon claimed to recognize, gave the wrong direction.
