"Uncle Jimmy" Green Celebrates Birthday With His Law Students
Annual Dinner is Attended by Sixty-two Guests, Including Several K. U. Alumni
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 4, 1919.
Dean Green 50 Years at Bar
Speakers Bring Word of War and Peace Activities of Graduates of School
The annual "Uncle Jimmy" Banque was given Thursday evening by the students of the School of Law in honor of the anniversary of "their Uncle Jimmy's" seventy-eight birthday at the Elks' Lodge dinner hall at 6:30 o'clock. Sixty-two guests were present including several out-of-town guests, graduates of the School or Law at K. U.
Dr. W. L. Burdick was the first speaker. He read a note of congratulations to Dean Green from six practicing attorneys, graduates of the School of Law here under Uncle Jimmy, who are now practicing law in the state of Montana. Among the six was the present Governor of the state of Montana.
Lieutenant Sidney Moss, a practicing attorney in Wichita spoke on "HIS experiences in France Meeting Uncle Jimmy's boys".
MOSS MEETS K. U. BOYS
"The boys I met with," said Moss, "were Pete K. Cubbison, whom I met in Bordertie; Trot Herman and John Dykes who I met in Paris while doing some special translation work for the Peace Conference; "Book" Woodward. Wayne Wingart, Lord Fred Pausch. What did the all have to say? Well about all they wanted to know was how their Uncle Jimmy was. They surely all love the man!" Lieutenant Moore was in France with the 125th Model Artillery, and has been telling in this country two months. After taking of these boys, he read a note of congratulations from the Wichita Bar, where thirty-three men are practicing law who went to law school under Uncle Jimmy. Sidney Moss said that twenty of them had expected to come down for the banquet, but owing to the fact that the new term of court started Monday, they were unable to do so.
CHANCELLOR ADDRESSES LAWS
"The banquet last night was really the fifteenth anniversary of Uncle Jimmy's admittance to the bar," said Prof. R. F. Rice, the next speaker. "Uncle Jimmy was admitted in 1869 in New York, and began his practice in Olathe in 1870."
UNCAROLLLEEN
Following Lieut. Sidney Moss's talk, Chancellor Frank Strong spoke to the group on "The Growth of the University and the Law School" since his coming to the university here. Then Dr. H. W. Humble read the names of the six law students from K. U. who died in the service. They were: "Bob" Heizer, "Bully" McNeel, and Jared Jackson who were killed in action; "Dick" Carter who was killed by accident in Italy; Van Martin and Eugene Himpel, who died of disease.
Then followed a couple of toasts Earl W. Shinn gave a toast to Uncle Jimmy from the senior class, and Donald B. Lang's toast was an expression from the junior class.
After Chief Justice John Marshall spoke on the "Oral Argument before the Kansas Supreme Court." Uncle Jimmy himself gave a little talk to the boys "offering them some good advice," as one of the boys expressed it.
UNCLE JIMMY GIVES HOLIDAY
"I certainly had a nice time," Uncle Jimmy said this morning, "and I think everyone else did."
UNCLE JIMMY GIVES HOLIDAY
Uncle Jimmy explained this morning that the law boys were taking a holiday today. Today is really the anniversary of his first holiday, he explained that the boys gave the ban on a day ahead of time so that they could "lay off" today. "And I don't care," he said.
Robert Rose of Kansas City, Mo., "Bill" Weber of Allenwood, and Attorneys Melvin, Dodges, Menger, and Mitchel of Lawrence were also guests of the evening. Glen Banker on the saxaphone and Wilson Riley on the piano furnished the music of the evening. Seldon Butcher, Donald Lang, Victor Rogers, and "Fish" Hook composed a quartet which also sang several numbers during the evening.
Miss Mildred Saunders of Winfield is a guest at the Gamma Phi Beta house.
Hair-Pulling Politics Is Now The Vogue
"Talk about suffragettes: Oh boy did you notice these W.S.G.A. office seekers? Aren't they rough though? One party puts up a poster that covers the greater part of the south wall of the Museum the other party trying to tear it down without much luck, o.h. boy, now nain' they roughly?
"Did you see that electioner over there, she must have threatened that poor freshwoman something awful. I'll bet she told her she couldn't use her powder-puff again unless she voted for her. These women have a way of their own when it comes to getting votes, even in a general election let alone an election for women only."
"Say did you see those two freshmen fellows carrying that Reconstruction Ticket poster up the Hill this morning? It was just about 7:30 and I'll bet it was a good thing that their alarm closel worked.
"Posters, dodgers, campaign cards, and maybe before night we will have another edition of that periodical, ylept. 'The little Birdie Speaks. Here is one safe bet though that there will be some hair-pulling and a possibility of a few casualties before night in case that squirrel print comes out again."
"I'll bet it will be hard to enforce the Australian ballot in this election, and think what a dejected bunch will be wandering around town. But if it takes them as long to count the votes, as it does the Registrar's office to count the new students in the institution it will be next May before the anxiety can be relieved.

Sir Ernest Shackleton, director on equipment and transport of the Northern Russian expeditionary forces, has just returned from Murmansk and Archangel. He declares in an interview that both fronts are in danger and that the Bolshevik pelik is a very real one because the Enteinte forces are outnumbered by disciplined, well equipped troops that are in close touch with the allies extended, but by no means strong, front.
Failure of the Offensive in the direction of Tukhum, in Courland, west of Riga, is admitted by the Russian soviet government in a wireless message received in London on Thursday. The message adds that fighting is in progress in the direction of Mitan, southwest of Riga, and in the region of Pekov, northeast of Riga.
The Bavarian Government has begun negotiations for the conclusion of an alliance with Russia, according to advises from Munich. The Bavarian Volks Zeitung explains that the government's action is due to the fact that food supplies from the entente are insufficient and inadequately assured, whereas grain is obtainable from Russia.
Kansas is to have a complete set of war films made by the Allied governments for the time America was in the war. Gov. Henry Allen was notified Thursday by Chas. S. Hart, director of the film division of the committee on public informator that a complete set of films has been shipped to Topeka. The films will be kept by the Kansas Historical Society. They will be available for all public uses but cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Four hundred and sixty votes had been cast for the two tickets in the W.S.G.A. election at two o'clock this afternoon. In former years, seventy votes was considered a good total for the entire ballot. And they say that girls are scarer than ever this year!
Carl Hawkehole, c22, made himself a fine new kite last week, and had a fine time flying it, but was so interested in his freshman cap this week that he forgot and left it out in the rain and it got spoiled.
Lieutenant Colonel (formerly Brigadier General) Anselm may be tried for insubordinate conduct by the court martial system he has condemned as an institution of injustice it was clearly indicated by developments in Washington Thursday. The anger of the powers that rule the army from Secretry Bake on down have been stirred to a high pitch by Colonel Anselm's attacks on their administration of military justice and particularly by his revelation of War Department secrets and reflections upon the veracity and good faith of his superior officers.
Senate Committee And Alumni Have Plans For K. U. Memorial
Stadium and Athletic Field Held by Graduates to be Suitable Honor for Students
The Board of Alumni Visitors, which has been in session at the University for the last three days, has been considering, among other things, suggestions for a memorial for the students and alumni who have died in the service. he suggestion which has been received most favorably at present is that of a new athletic field and stadium on the land south of Robinson Gymnasium.
"The memorial built by the University must be permanent and enduring." Miss Grace Wilkie said. "Nothing must be built which will lose its usefulness or fitness after a few years."
This may be recommended to the Alumni Association at commencement, unless some better suggestion is made. "We felt that this would be a memorial approved by the men for whom it is being built," Mrs. Heilen Perry Edwards, a member of the board, said. "It seems to be more in keeping with the spirit of a memorial for college men."
The purpose of the board is to represent the point of view of the taxpayer of the state, as well as that of the University graduate. They spend several days at the University during the year, making investigations and preparing a report for the Alumni Association.
John Bender, of Pittsburg, expressed the same opinion. Any suggestions which students have to make the alumni board would be glad to get.
The members of the board are:
Mrs. Helen Perry Edwards, Eureka;
J. W. Gleed, Topeka; Miss Grace Wilkie,
Wichita; Miss Richel Pugh, Independence;
John F. Bender, Pittsburgh;
C. C. Brown, Topeka. Miss Pugh is now in war work in France.

Building to Cost Quarter Million Suggested Intended to be All-University Center
A permanent memorial building to cost approximately a quarter of a million dollars, in honor of the K.U. men who have died in the service, was discussed favorably by the Senate Memorial Committee, which met Thursday evening. If is proposed that the necessary funds be raised by public subscription, Chancellor Frank Strong is chairman of the committee and Prof. George C. Shaad, vice chairman.
The proposed structure would be an All-University building and would provide a social center for University students. It would contain offices for various University organizations and will include a restaurant and cafeteria, with many other things which K.U. has long needed. No site for the proposed building was discussed.
The structure would be of memorial type, with suitable inscriptions and lists of the students and alumni of the University of Kansas who took part in the great war. It was considered possible to make the building one of real service and at the same time preserve the memorial idea.
"To my mind the proposed building would be the most fitting and appropriate memorial which the University could erect to the memory of K.U. heroes," said Professor Shaad.
White Elephant Auction Will Help Co-Op House
The cooperative house for women students of the University will be partly furnished by the proceeds from the White Elephant auction sale to be held Saturday night at the Unitarian church.

Miss Lulu Gardner will have charge of the Depth Bomb Booth. Miss Katherine Duffield will be chief auctioneer, assisted by Miss Margaret Lynn and Miss Helen Hooper. Miss Agnes Thompson and Miss Rose Morgan will be among the clerks.

Present Styles May Eradicate K.U. Women
The present styles threaten to be one of the most serious detriments to college education, that has ever been thrown in the path of female knowledge, according to Prof. I. Seymour Hicks. "The increasing percentage of tardy women students this spring, since the 24-inch skirt has come in vogue, is really alarming." Seymour Hicks explained.
"I have been keeping records of the tardiness among the feminine members of my classes, and these figures, in connection with similar statistics gathered by certain of my colleagues in the other important institutions of higher learning, demonstrate a new sociological corollary of the highest importance. This has been written by Prof. E. Z. Mark, or the sociological department of the University of Illinois in the following terms: "The number of female students tardily is directly proportional to the width of the skirt most particularly in vogue at the time, and as the grade decreases regularly with the increase in the amount of tardiness, the present styles, if continued to excess, will result in a complete cessation of the educational activities of women."

War With Japan Not Likely, Says Dr. Mirakuchi
burden of National Debt and Favorable Trade Relations Make Conflict Undesirable to Nipponese
Yellow Peril is Yellow Press
Rumors or Unfriendly Relations Should be Traced, Declares Speaker—Philippines are not Wanted by Orient
"The sympaties of the United States, who along with the rest of the civilized nations of the world were with Japan in the Russo-Japanese war of 1905, were a great help in our struggle," said Doctor Mankinuchi, "and it was with the wise and prudent aid of your great president, Theodore Roosevelt, that peace was finally negotiated.
that what Japan wants from the United States is a fraternal feeling rather than a kind, and self-satisfying patronage, the substance of the forceful talk given at concession this morning by Dr. Yutaka Mirakuchi, on the American-Japanese Relations. The Japanese orator, in asking for the brotherhood, assured K.U. students that Japanese are fully capable of assimilating American ideals at least that they are much more apt to become Americanized than Americans are to be Jap-A-Lacked.
FIRST AGITATION APPEARS
"Sentiment changed hands the next year, for it was in 1906 that the first agitation of the Japanese problem started in the United States. The mayor of San Francisco at that time was Schmidt, you may judge his nationality. Personally I have always thought it either one of the first instances of Pan-Germanic propaganda or else due to labor agitation, as several of the state officials were afterwards discovered to be dishonestly connected with labor unions.
"Japan has no fear of a break between the United States and Japan. Neither has ever wronged the other. Japan has never violated internation- obligations. There have been mistakes in her foreign policy, some of which have cost her dear, but I challenge anyone to show me a nation which has pursued its life without mistakes of a very serious nature.
JINGOISTS NOT LOST IN WAR
"Japan and the United States, in 1908 entered into a gentleman's agreement, to restrict Japanese immigration into the United States. Japan was to restrict immigration from her side, and to my knowledge she has never failed to follow out the spirit of the agreement.
"The Japanese mistakes have been made much of by the jingoists and yellow journalists. I thought from their largely expressed nationalism, that they would be the first to fling themselves into the conflict, but I notice that now that the war is over that they are as much present as ever, and that they were the ones that stayed at home and protected the hearth fires. In my opinion, they are the cowards of the nations, morally and physically.
"What we need in this so-called advanced age is not patronage, but the need to be able to deal with it."
"Real democracy means that I am as good as you—that one man is as good as another, whatever his nationality. It is said that it is impossible for a Japanese to assimilate Americanism, but to my knowledge, it is much easier to Americanize a Jap, than it is to Jap-A-Lac an American."
CAN'T AFFORD PHILIPPINES
"Now, how about this Philippine Island question? Do you think that Japan is casting omnious glances on the Pacific possessions of Uncle Sam? If you do, then you should trace the rumors circulated to their source, which is generally a yellow journal or a two-by-two politician. You should chew the material you read in a yellow journal well before you swallow it or you will undoubtedly have a bad case of indigestion which will likely be followed by a severe headache."
"Japan does not care for the Philippine Islands, although she has no room to reexpansion. I will substantiate my statement with proof. First, no great nation has ever come out of the tropical or frigid zones, and the Philippine Islands are located in a
