Missouri Wins Game From Jayhawker Nine In Bad Eighth Stanza
Weak Fielding at Critical Times Has Much To Do With 6-5 Score
K. U. Scores Two In First
Dippold and Slusher Lead Tiger Attack—Lonborg Does Well
Well
The Missouri baseball team defeated the Kansas nine at McCook Field Tuesday afternoon, 6 to 5 in the first game of a three game series. Urie, the Tiger's star twirler, struck out eleven K. U. hitters and was given poor support by his team. Tigers hit four in seven. Weak fighting by Kansas in the seventh and the eighth had much to do with the Tiger victory.
Kansas made a pair of runs in the first inning on a three-base' hit by Foster, an error, and a single by Bunn. This lead was strengthened by another run by Cherry in the third inning. Missouri scored in the fifth and tied the game up in the seventh, making two runs.
K. U, came back with two runs in the eighth when Cherry got a hit and Bunn was hit by the pitcher. Oyster then came through with a two-base hit. Missouri had made three runs in this inning on two singles an error by Fester and a triple, and the game owed mostly Missouri.
Slusher and Dippold led the Missouri attack. Cherry, Foster, and Lonberg did well with the bat for K. U.

Prof. Sterling Receives Letter of Thanks For War Photos and Data
Professor Sterling is Collecting Material of K. U. and The War
Prof. M. W. Sterling, of the department of ancient languages, is making a collection of all war data that may be of value to the war department or of interest after the war. Professor Sterling recently sent a number of photographs to war department and received the following letter from that department:
“Accept the thanks of this office for your letter of May 8, together with the twelve photographs to which you refer. It is requested that you forward any additional photographs of a similar nature, in which your judgment may be required, in the final files of the War Plans Division of the General Staff.
Professor Sterling has collected many pictures with data of war activities in the University. It is all being preserved and filed and a complete record is to be kept. At the present time he is especially interested in the pictures of men who have died in service. Letters of interest received from soldiers, pictures of the men in service, and all data touching K. U. and the war are good material, according to Professor Sterling.
"Some day the material will probably be collected into a history of K U, and the war."
Dr. Allen Is Honored
Dr. Bennet M. Allen of the department of zoology has been elected to the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. The election comes as a recognition of the research work done with tadpoles. Dr. Allen has been working with these experiments for many months, and has achieved some remarkable results, especially in the uses of the thyroid gland.

Military Situation Here Awaits Senate Action
No definite information could be obtained this morning from members of the committee to investigate military training for the University next year. The committee is awaiting the action of the University Senate and until then nothing definite can be learned.
Prof. F. H. Hodder, chairman of the committee, intimated that the committee had come to some definite conclusions, but that such information could not be given out until after a Senate meeting.
The War Here and Over There
with trains loading and packing, day and night, at Camp Funston, it is evident that the boys have ended their eight and a half months of training and are preparing to go overseas.
The British repulsed a heavy German counter-attack northwest of Merville along a front of about two-thirds of a mile Tuesday. Everything was quiet along the other sectors of the Allied armies:
Paris is establishing underground theaters because of the frequent airplane raids.
In American cities of 10,000 inhabitants or over, there is available from kitchen waste about 70,000 pounds of pork and more than $16,000,000 worth of grease and fertilizers, the Food Administration says.
New York has passed a law allowing any citizen the legal right to arrest persons who make disloyal statements.
The rumor that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg died recently has become current very generally among the enemy in the back area as well as among the civilians. The belief of the Field Marshal's death is gaining more support among the British every day.
The scarcity of different materials in Germany is shown by the facts of what that country is using as substitutes. Celluloid and sugar replace cotton and saltpeter, coal replaces gasoline, and a new kind of soft steel is used for guide rings on shells that are used to extract metal from being extracted from soft coal by distillation, and structural steel and iron are scarce.
The prohibition elements in the House of Representatives won the first round Tuesday in a fight to get President Wilson to exercise his war authority to prohibit the manufacture of light wines and beers, as well as whisky.
Germany has limited the amount prisoners may spend to $15 a week for officers and $12.50 for private.
Men's Glee Club Closes Successful 1918 Season
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 22, 1918.
The Men's Glee Club has its last rehearsal of the season in Fraser Hall, Tuesday night. A business meeting was held, the report of Manager Raymond Darby, showing that the club broke even on its concerts, giving four in all.
Two annual concerts were given at Fraser Hall, a three day trip was taken to Camp Funston, a concert was given at the Kansas City high school, and the club also sang at Haskell, the annual Colonial party, and at the Glee Club Gambol. The last was a dance put on by the club to help defray expenses incurred on the trip to Funston.
Louis Morgan was elected business manager for next year. It is his plan to make dates for an extended series of concerts to be given at the high schools during the Christmas holidays. Several years ago the K. U. glee club always made an annual trip during the holidays through the southern part of the state and northern Oklahoma. Mr. Morgan is planning to schedule a similar trip.
Quill Club will hold its last regular meeting for this year Thursday night in the Women's Rest Room in Fraser Hall at 7 o'clock. Election of officers will be held and all business will be finished in time for Miss Topping's Recital.
Prof. Joseph Farrell probably will be director next year.

Offer 33 Publications Of War Information For Reading Public
Something for Nothing; Merely Fill in Card—No Postage Needed
Something valuable for nothing is being offered University students, and others who may be interested, by the United States Committee on Public Information. The gifts are a choice of two government war publications, including "The Study of the Great War," by Prof. Samuel B. Harding, "Conquest and Kultur," and "German Treatment of Conquered Territory."
There is only one string attached to the gifts. That is, that persons desiring them shall mark an X following the name of the publication they desire on the free post card bearing the list of publications and that they sign the cards, giving their home town address; not their Lawrence address. Only two publications may be selected. The post cards require no postage because they bear the franking privilege. They may be obtained at the desk in Spooner Library, at the Kansan office and from Dr. F. B. Dains in the Chemistry Building.
"This 'Red, White and Blue Series,' 'War Information Series,' and 'Loyalty Leaflets,' number thirty-three separate publications," said Doctor Dains. "Thirty of them are free and a student or other persons may obtain his choice of two of them. Among several of the very good publications in the lists are "The Study of the Great War." "German Treatment of Conquered Territory," which is part of the Program," said Dains.
2.20 "Conquest and Kultur," "The Govern-
ment of an army."
II of "German War Practices" and
"Contract and Failure" The Government of Germany."

Dr. Florence Brown Sherbon, of the department of Physical Education and the superintendent of the University hospital will have charge of the course."
Plain Tales From The Hi
TRUE STORY
Nestling among the electric light bulbs, tin foil wads, and other articles of the Fraser Hall salvage box is a "bomb."
Some workmen dredged a curious copper and lead contraption out of the Kaw a few days ago. A large dent had evidently been pounded in a sheet of copper, and lead covered the opening of the dent. It seemed too light to be solid lead, so there surely was nitroglycerine in the dent. It must have been a bomb that had been placed under the Bowersock Mills but had washed away.
The thing was given to Floyd Hockenhull to have some Hill scientists examine it. He handed it as if it were fragile glass, and was surprised to see the chemistry professors take it and boldly saw into it. The ut disclosed solid lead.
So the salvage box got the "bomb."
From a freshman's estimate of himself, handed in to a rhetoric instructor: "I am very popular with the girls. They all like to dance with me. In fact, many think I am the best dancer on the Hill."
It is rather hard to determine just which organization was hit the worst in the "Hilidai" snt it?
The extraordriarily warm weather and the strain of the year's work are beginning to tell on faculty members. Professor Cady has acquired a beanshooter, which he uses with much gusto and enthusiasm.
The best self-advertising institution on the Hill is the incinerator, Given a strong south wind like the one on Tuesday, and every one will know, if not the life history of the incinerator, at least that there is such a thing.
There are impressionistic and futuristic artists in K. U. One of them recently told Katherine Davis that her hair was blue and crimson and yellow! Katherine looked in the mirror to see if she had spilled ink, but she didn't. She is worried.
Mrs. Loud does not relish Kansas storms. "Won't it blow the house away?" she asked this morning
"Well, it will only blow it nearer the University," replied the Professor, "and that suits me."
Prof. C. A. Dykstra has really made a confession to his American Government class. The wind was rattling the windows the other day and making considerable noise. The professor stopped in the middle of a lecture said "The wind is blooming pretty hard. I can blow pretty hard, too."
Theta Sigma Phi will meet in Fraser Hall Rest Room at 8 o'clock Wednesday night.
Kappa Phi will hold a short meeting at Myers Hall Wednesday night at 7 o'clock. This will be the last meeting of the year and all members are expected to be present. Dues for the handbooks must be paid tonight.
Mr. Donald Hartley of the Kansas City Star attended the Sigma Delta Chi initiation at the Sigma Chi house last night.
The University of Illinois is furnishing 4,000 surgical dressings for the Red Cross.
Chancellor Frank Strong has called a meeting of all big sisters and big sister captains in the University for Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock in Myer's Hall.
K. U. Red Cross Pledge Exceeds $2,000; Half Amount Already Paid
Soliciting Committees Will Call On Persons Not Voluntary Subscribers
Honor Flag Is Goal Sought
Small Amounts, But Some Gift From Everyone, Object of Present Drive
Dean George C. Shaad, director of the Second Red Cross War Fund at KU, said today that more than $2,000 had been pledged as checked up Tuesday night. More than $1,000 of this is paid.
Three booths are now being used situated in Fraser Hall, the Administration Building and Marvin Hall. Effort is being made to allow all students and faculty to subscribe with the least possible inconvenience. It is planned to turn over the names of all those who have not donated by tonight to a committee of personal solicitation.
After the committee has interviewed their number, names of persons who do not subscribe, will be turned over to the executive committee of the County Red Cross together with their reasons for not doing so.
K. U. is working hard for the Red Cross honor flag, which is given if 75 per cent of the number of persons assigned, subscribe. The arrangements allow other smaller crosses to be added, one for every additional 5 per cent. If won, flags will be put up in practically all the buildings over the Campus. Dean Shaad said he was especially eager to get the flag soon, that it might be displayed at Commencement.
Dean Shaad said there will be little difficulty in getting the subscriptions, for 25 or 56 cents will cover the amount expected from the average student.
Martial Spirit Evokes Praise For Jayhawker From Faculty Reviewer
Memories of University In Wartime Given Profound Significance in 1918 Annual
By G. C. L
The war inspired the form and content of the just issued 1918 Jayhawker, the thirtieth volume to record the passing of a college generation from the University of Kansas. And inspired is the word, for there is not nonly uselessly ugliubulous or morbund about the book. Nor yet is there any reason that a Kansan soldier will see it without pride, and a thrill, and a smile, and just a hint of soldiery moisture about the corners of his eyes.
Open the cover and the boys are marching down the hill; the old University is saying farewell. But as one closes the volume the flags are being brought back home. The art is a little startling, but the sentiment is glorious. All drawing partakes of either professional dash or amateurish extravagance throughout the school day. In its proper does the ocean roll too boisterously or the flaps flaunt too spiritedly or the eagles scream too heroically to tell the genuine feeling of the glow of youth in 1918.
FRAMED MEMORIES
The Hill section comprises some delicate photographic work. It is happily more romantic than severely realistic as the camera usually insists. Somehow the pictures were sought and framed as memories rather than as blunt snapshot reminders of prosaic things. Every picture carries its peculiar sentiment to some one, and all together have a meaningfulness to everyone. The faculty, too, were generously idealized—those whose pictures came in on the Hill. But then they are like the trees and the stone piles of Alma Mater; they'll be left behind fairer by memory's consecration—with the help of the Jayhawker.
Cartoonists let loose choice lines of angular emphasis on the front porches of every student division from seniors to freshmen. And no one has a really valid complaint that
