Lieut. Col. H.D. Burdick Says All Overseas Men Must Come Home Soor
Victory Loan Campaign for Douglas Co. Opened With Talks Monday Night
Crowd Shows Enthusiasm
Funds to "Clean up the War"
Plea of Speakers at
First Rally
“The service of supplies failed in France,” said Lieut-Col. Harold L Burdick, in telling of his experiences in France, Monday night, at the Victory League Meeting of Douglas County. “Only food came through with any degree of regulation. The service impaired November 8, but of course that was late.”
"The war has helped national feeling in a marked degree. In France people come from departments as we come from states but one never hears them mention their particular department but it is always 'Vive la France.' In this country if you ask a man where he is from he will mention that it was before last. The war has helped to make the people realize that what is good for California is also good for Kansas and vice versa.
"RUSE" GETS GERMAN BALLOON
"Among the most interesting incidents that I saw in France was an airplane fight staged between two Allied planes. They fought for a while and fell toward the earth but when they came on a level with a couple of German balloons they suddenly righted themselves and shot the balloon full of holes. The Germans had a habit of covering their balloons with artillery fire in case of an attack and this was a ruse to distract the German fire."
"The artillery was in France in full force notwithstanding some statements made since. While I was at the front on an observation tour I saw 155-milimeter guns with the second line of infantry. I saw numerus barrages and I think from the number of shells fired there must have been some effect, although it is surprising how little effect concentrated fire does have. I saw a battery shelled for four hours with all kinds of shells and when I went to see what damage was done I found that four men had been killed, one gun damaged and two horses wounded. I expected to find only a few men left in the entire battery.
BONDS AS AN INVESTMENT "When my regiment left France we left over two million men in the country. We must bring the men home. What would they think if we failed to do it in bringing them back to the homeland? The most important thing now is to clean the war and get down to a firm peace basis. If the wage-earning people can't take these government bonds then banks will. This will inflate bank credit and cause high prices just at a time when prices should begin to fall."
The meeting launched the Victoria Loan campaign in Douglas County. Mayor Geo. L. Kreeck of Lawrence presided at the meeting. J. R. Holmes, manager of the loan campaign in the county talked of it as a purely business investment. Chplain t. E. Wark who was with the 35th division in France also gave a short talk.

Summer Session Faculty To Include Professors From Cornell and Ames
W. A. Clark, Education Special
ist Coming From Chicago
Normal College
First Term to Open June 17
Dean Kelly Will Send Special Appeal to High School Graduates
At least three instructors of more than usual note will be on the faculty of the University of Kansas Summer School, which will open its first session June 17, immediately following the closing of the third quarter of the regular session. These instructors include E. O. Johanssen, professor of entomology at Cornell; W. A. Clark, specialist in education at the Chicago Normal College; and G. M. Wilson, head of the department of education at the Iowa Agricultural College at Ames.
These speakers are highly commended by F. J. Kelly, director of the summer session. Doctor Johannsen will give a course in economic entomology, which is expected to be of more than ordinary value. Doctor Clark will have a course for macroscopic for superintendents, and Doctor Wilson will offer two courses, one in elementary curricula; and one in teaching methods.
In connection with the announcement of the dates of the summer session, Dean Kelly is sending a letter, over the signature and that of the chancellor, to members of graduating classes of the Kansas high schools giving several reasons why high school students should begin their college work at once, rather than waiting until September to begin.
Ideals In Journalism Appeal Of Lee A White
Speaks in Fraser Chapel and at Sigma Delta Chi Banquet
"The Lettuce and Celery Industry in Florida" will be the subject that Prof. A. J. M, of the department of botany will discuss at the Botany Club Wednesday evening at the home of Prof. W. C. Stevens.
An appeal for a type of clean journalism which strives for an ideal was the keynote of the address made Monday by Lee A White, secretary of the Detroit News, both at the general lecture in Fraser Hall and at the founder's day banquet of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. Mr. White is editor of "The Quill," the organization's publication.
Professor Mix has been doing government research work at the government field station at Sanford, Florida, in connection with the growing of lettuce and celery.
Mr. White's talk in Fraser Chapel was supplemented by two reels of motion pictures taken in the plant of his paper. An appreciative audience, small because he was a student of the coexistence. The speaker made clear his idea of what constitutes a good newspaper, both in the making and the make-up.
"Sigma Delta Chi should formulate and carry out a code of newspaper ethics. Violation of the code should mean complete ostracism for the offender," said Mr. White in his plea for the newer journal at the fraternity's banquet, at which he was guest of honor. Other guests were D. L. Hartley of the Kansas City Star, Prof. N. A. Crawford of Manhattan, Millard Wear of the Lawrence Journal-World and Dean D. L. Patterson.

Germany Put Allies In Right By Methods Of Carrying On War
Madame Bernard, Speaker Sent by Y.W.C.A., Gives Interpretation of World Events
Fraternity, Lesson of War
Union of Allies Was Foundation for League of Nations
Madame Bernard, who was brought to this country from France by the War Work Council of the Young Woman's Christian Association, gave a most impressive and interesting talk on the "World of Today" at Myers Hall Monday at 4:30 o'clock. Madame Bernard is a British woman, whose husband was an officer in the French army and who was killed in the first battle of the Marne. She has been married since 1925 through the college and city centers of America giving her interpretation of the forces of the new world as seen by one of such spiritual perception and wide international experience.
Madame Bernard began her speech with the conditions of the world in 1870 and brought it up to the present time, placing special stress on the armistice and its meaning. She said, "Germany had been preparing this world war for forty years and when she was ready for it in 1914 she called for an end to the killing of the Arch Duke but had he lived nine chances out of ten Austria would have been in this world war with the Central Powers.
"Russia is an example of what the United States would be today had Germany been victorious in the war. Europe never doubted that the United States would come into this war but she didn't know whether she would come in soon enough. She would have gone in sooner, if she had gone in sooner but her coming in when she did gave Germany the opportunity for repentance.
"All nations have sinned some time in their history but Germany put the Allies in the right by the way she made war. This war has taught the people that safety reigns in fraternity. On the great battle field the Allies were simply one and that is the foundation of the League of Nations." "This war is a war of principle. With all the courage of our men—if God had not been with us we could not have won. The greatest day in all the world was November 11, 1918, when the armistice was signed. We didn't know it because it was so great an event.
"Why did we grant armistice when we were so powerful? We were able at that time to march to Berlin and get our revenge on Germany. We granted armistice to a nation who never keeps her word because of the new consciousness. We are out today to live the principles for which our men died. All of us are bound to live in harmony with the armistice if we desire to live the new consciousness.
The Mining and Geology Club will meet Wednesday at 4:30 o'clock in Haworth Hall, in the large lecture room on the third floor.

Mining and Geology Club Will Meet Wednesday
"No people are as free as the young people of today. May America b the greatest nation in the world because her college men and women are living the principles for which this war was fought."

Charles Scott To Lecture On Constitution of League

Plain Tales From the Hill
Dick: "Yeah, I used to go fishin' in the Gulf of Mexico and catch all kinds of fish."
Brick: (doubtful) "Yah, you did How big were they?"
Dick Nelson called one of the girls at 1246 Mississippi for a date Sunday. She said "Why, I have a date for tonight, but I haven't one for tomorrow night."
Dick: "Bigger than you.
They're going to be stuff in me. They don't make 'em."
Joe Schwartz says that he hopes the boys who have been shooting at his little negro boy in the dramatic bulletin board would quit because the kid didn't mean anything by that sling-shot and he wasn't shooting at anybody in particular.
In the Dramatic Club bulletin board is a large sign with a question mark painted upon it. Then in a smaller picture is a negro boy with a sling shot ready for action. This morning, there was a large hole in the glass, and now the students are wondering if the negro boy did it with his sling.
No, when you went by the hairdresser's Saturday afternoon and saw Prof. Hank Shinn inside, he wasn't there for a shampoo, but was merely waiting for his wife.

1920 Jayhawker Contract
Signed by Hollis, Manager
The contract for the 1920 Jayhawkwiler was signed today, Edgar L. Hollis, business manager, announced. The Burger Engraving Company of Kansas City Missouri will do the engraving and Hugh Stephens Printing Company of Jefferson City has the contract for the printing. This is the third year that the company has handled together. Next year's Jayhawkwiler will have slightly different binding from that of the 1919 Annual.
The Victory Loan is next.
The contract was to get the Jayhawker out by May first of next year. The reason is that the University budget has allowed enough money to buy about 250 books to send to state or visiting to high schools of the state.
No Middle Law Class
Owing to the fact that there is no middle law class in the School of Law this year on account of the S.A.T. C.S. and so many members being in the service, there will be a small graduate class next year. The only middle laws that are in school this year are taking back their work and will graduate from middle work next year. Enough members of the middle law class are expected back next year to make a graduating class of about twenty-five.
Opinion Much Divided As To Proper Memorial For University Heroes
'Dutch' Wedell Urges University to Decide on Some One Plan
No Decision Has Been Made
Chimes Are Suggested by Some for Artistic Value to K. U.
"Nothing definite has been decided on for a permanent memorial," said Chancellor Strong today. "The matter is in the hands of a Senate Committee of which Prof. George C. Shad is chairman. They held one meeting when the committee was suggested, but no conclusion of a definite nature has been reached."
"Let a vote decide what the museum shall be," says Hugo "Dudt' Wedell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A." "This will prevent any log-rolling or petty quibbling which would leave the University divided and give it a black eye over the state." Mr. Wedell has not taken a decided stand for any of the memorial plans as yet suggested by the committee. The committee has presented all possible data on the subject to the University people.
LET STUDENTS VOTE
He also thinks that those taking the memorial in a "my-way-or-none" manner are making a mistake because of the division it is liable to create and the hindrance to the committee named by the Chancellor to canvas the situation thoroughly. "The memorial is a chance to get our alumni and friends interested and thereby add to the spirit of unity so necessary to a school's success."
"Dutch" agrees with W. O. Hamilton that a modern stadium would be a wonderful addition to the University and that it is needed badly. He also suggested a Student Union building which came near being a reality a few years ago. But Dutch's idea is—get together, let the committee explain all the plans carefully, call a vote and let best and most feasible memorial aid
"A building suited for service to all students appeals to me as the most suitable memorial," said Dean Kelly this morning. "Since this was a war of service to all mankind the building erected in memory of those who served should not be of ueC to a certain group of students, but to the whole University."
OUARTER MILLION FOR BUILDING
"This building would contain rooms for the W. S. G. A., the Men's Student Council and other student organizations. It should not only be the interest of the University but of every citizen of the State of Kansas.
"I think a quarter of a million dollars is the very least that should be spent on it."
The other form of building that is being advocated is a large athletic stadium. Coach W. O. Hamilton, who is strongly in favor of the stadium, said: "There are many reasons why I consider a stadium the most express-

University Will Have War Collection—Martin
Trophies Now on Display at Museum Show Skill of Yanks
The University will have a war collection whether the Memorial Building idea goes through or not, accord- ing to I. T. Martin, curator at the Museum.
The Museum now has a very good collection of war trophies that were sent over by Corp. Harry Martin of the 150th Field Artillery. The collection includes helmets, German cheerskirts and other military collection will be mounted by Mr. Martin and placed in the top floor of collecting for me and the Museum."
"I have several men collecting trophies over there for me and no doubt they will bring back an interesting collection," said Mr. Martino to the students. "You don't learn day from some of the boys who are collecting for me and the Museum."
"Although the University has no money to buy trophies the department will endeavor to securise the best collection possible in order that the University may make a good showing," continued Mr. Martin.
