A WORTH WHILE LECTURE
THURSDAY, DEC. 12, 1918
The question of the establishment of a league of nations is among the most important to be discussed at the Versailles peace conference. Will the United States imperial its position of splendid isolation by agreeing to the plan? Will the placing of power into the hands of a selected few be a good move toward universal peace? Should the "outlaw nations" have a place in the league? Does union connate strength? Will an international police force solve the problem of international peace?
University students will have an opportunity tomorrow to hear a practical discussion of this all-important problem by Lord Charnwood, an authority on international law and politics. Lord Charnwood is well known as a historical lecturer, and has much actual experience in the field of diplomacy. The men and women of the University should endeavor to obtain a clearer understanding of the proposed league by attending the lecture tomorrow afternoon.
DELAYED DEMOBILIZATION
The Nobel Peace Prize will not be awarded this year. It would be a difficult problem in arithmetic to divide the prize evenly among the two million odd men in France who deserve it.
More than half the men in the Manhattan S. A. T. C. have been given their discharges. The demobilization of the Emporia Normal unit was completed Tuesday. The student soldiers at Washburn were released Monday. The work of disbanding at Hays Normal commenced last week and has now been completed.
But at the University of Kansas, the largest school in the state having a unit of the S. A. T. C., not a man has been given his discharge and practically nothing has been accomplished toward demobilizing the corps. The effect of these conditions on K. U.'s morale has not been of the best.
Only the belated arrival of physical examination blanks from Camp Funston has made possible the beginning of work. The smaller schools were issued blanks first in order that their units might be disbanded at once. The sudden demand for the blanks found the War Department with only a limited number on hand.
The responsibility for the delay in demobilizing here does not seem to rest with the officers, as is the popular belief. The officers are many of them as anxious as the enlisted men to get out of the service, now that
Airplane docks to be erected in Lawrence? Whoa, Pegasus. Hereafter, the phrase, "Hitch your wagon to a star," will have a practical and not a theoretical meaning.
BASKETBALL OR DANCES
A smooth, brightly polished floor is highly desirable for a dance, but when a basketball team must use the same space to practise upon, these qualities are not appreciated. Basketball practise has been interrupted or called off several times since the season started because dances were to be given in the gymnasium or the floor was too slick to suit the basketballers.
The gymnasium has a good dancing floor, but there are others in town equally as good not so far from the student district. So long as the University authorities permit the floor to be used for dancing purposes the basketball team will suffer. So why use it?
Now the Italians and Jugo-Slavas are having words. Why not put a fence around the Balkans and call it neutral territory?
RETAINING THE O. D.'s
"To wear or not to wear" will be the question next quarter when the obligation to cloth themselves in military garb will be at an end among the men. Student soldiers will be allowed to retain their issued clothing for four months after leaving the service, but will not be obliged to wear it unless they so desire.
By continuing the use of uniforms, K. U. men can do much to help relieve the stringency in the wool supply. The large number of soldiers returning to civilian callings in which uniforms would be unfitted will place an enormous strain on the clothing manufacturers, who are still on "wool 'ations."
Each man who continues to wear his uniform will save the price of a winter suit, and there can be no doubt that the woolens now being issued are as attractive in appearance as any civilian clothing.
The University as a public institution could do much in conserving wool by making the wearing of the uniform compulsory among those of its members who have received them.
The University Senate late las year passed a ruling requiring the wearing of uniforms, but the establishment of the S. A. T. C. made this obsolete. Of course the purchase of uniforms by men who do not have them would be more wasteful than otherwise and should not be made compulsory, but the use of the clothing the government has issued would be a matter of economy and conservation.

O foxes, baby moon, runners, you are the panel of memory, white-write writing-to-night of the Red Man's dreams.
A ring of silver roses, a mist of silver roses, sit and sit around the Indian
Who squats, legs crossed and arms folded, mitching its look against the moon-face, the star-faces, of the West?
Who are the Mimasalspall Valley ghosts of copper forwards, riding wires ponies in the night—no bridges in the day? Why is there ling in the night a long old trail?
Why do they always come back when the silver foxes sit around the early moon, a silver panorama, in the final scene of "The Miracle," In it a book, "Cornhuskers."
If your name is to live at all, it is so much more to have it live in people's hearts than only in their brains.

This afternoon I had a thrilling adventure. I came in on the train and took a taxi for the house. And who do you think was in the Ford when I got in? It was Jess Willard. I knew him from his picture, and then he told the driver where to take him. Well, he asked me who I was, and how I liked the Hill, and where I came from, and everything except whether I was going to the side of my face was gum or a wisdom tooth. Now, I hadn't ever been introduced to Mr. Willard, and when I got home and told the house and mother about it she was horrified. Was it awfully awful of me?
I ought not to encourage unlady-like proceedings, but under the circumstances, I think it was perfectly all right for you to answer Mr. Willard's questions. He didn't mean any harm. I know him personally, and will vouch for him to your house-mother.
Dear J. C.:
I have been writing home all fall for money to buy a wool uniform. Most of the fellows in my barracks have them and I thought I should have one too. Dad didn't see it that way till just last week, when he came through with a sizeable check. He said that now he expected me to come home looking like a soldier, since he'd heard so much about the good points of wool uniforms. The next day three companies were issued woolens, so I thought I was in luck and spent the whole cheek on a big week-end trip to Kansas City. Now we aren't going to get any after all, and I have promised to come home next weekend, but if I show up without a wool i will be all out of luck. Please tell me what to do.
Roomie.

Dear Company H:
The best thing we can advise you to do is to get funny with you, you hardest sergeant and get put on K. P. over the week-end so you can't go home. If necessary, you can repeat this service until you and then maybe dad will have forgetten about the check. If not, you can tell him the unicot got swiped.

What is the correct thing to say when you are introduced to your own lieutenant while making a social call, the same as he is? This has happened twice this month with me, an I was awfully flustered both times.
Dear Permanent K. P.
The best thing to do in such a case as you mention is to smile as pleasantly as you can and, while shaking hands with the lieutenant, remark in a casual tone of voice, "Oh yes, I've met the lieutenant before. You see, he's in my company."
Please tell me what to do for my poor sick prof. he has the flu and I feel that he will not recover. I am very repentant because I used to be late to his war aims class, and then spent all the hour writing to my girl;
Dearest Roomie:
-Roomie.
You can't do anything for your prof, for from what you say of how you spent your time in his class, I thought he would rather not hear from you while he is sick. Of course you might hire a New Thought practitioner to give him absent treatments; but that is very expensive.
When Mrs. Langtry was at the summit of her beauty and fame, she met at a dinner an African King who was visiting London. She did her best to please the duky monarch and evidently succeeded, for he said to her as they parted: "Ah, mad; if heaven had only made you black and fat you would be irresistible."—Boston Transcript.

GREAT MEN: GREAT EATERS
The great majority of famous men have been huge eaters, and big brain workers with small appetites have always been noted as being exceptional. Lloyd George, M. Clemenceau, the French premier; Sir Douglas Haig and President Wilson, to name only a few of the famous leaders and thinkers this day, all have excellent appeties and all think better after a good meal.
The great empire builder, Cecil Rhodes, ate far in excess of the average man. Balzac, the famous French author, thought nothing of eating 12 mutton cutlets and a dozen or oysters at a meal. Sir H. Rider Haggard is a believer in substantial meals, as G. K. Chesterton.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, the two German leaders, both are notorious for being absolute glutons over their food, as was the famous of all German leaders, Bismarck. Bismarck, indeed, had an absolutely phenomenal appetite, regularly eating meals which would satisfy three ordinary men—Detroit News.

Plymouth Jottings
One of the jolliest persons on Mount Oread this winter is a young foreign missionary home from the Far East on her first furlough. All foreign missionaries are jolly. Really they are. Taken as a buguch they are the first to leave the country. Back to America and they call it slow. They chase back to their mission stations post haste as soon as their furloughs are over.
I have sometimes wondered why K. U. hasn't more foreign students. It ought to have. It would do us all good to have a little group of Chinese and Japanese, a few South Americans—and now that the war is over, soope The atmosphere of the university would be far more cosmopolitan.
Why don't we have a foreign body big enough to have a Cosmopolitan Club? Last winter a brilliant young Chinese secretary was going to make us a visit at K. U., but he found that the trip wasn't worth the expense—his countrymen here were too few.
And how about yourself? Have you ever thought of being a foreign missionary? Why not? It's the finest, happiest, most inspiring task on the whole round earth—to be a foreign missionary. It really is. Ask any of them if it isn't.
It would be different if we had a larger interest in Foreign Missions. Many schools smaller than K. U. have their own foreign missionaries. Why not K. U?.
If you don't believe me, ask Dr. Arthur Braden. He knows. And he would be mighty glad to talk to you about it. If you really want to make your life count in the next fifty years, be a foreign missionary!
Yours very cordially,
ROSS W. SANDERSON.
Pastor of Plymouth.
