The War Here and Over There
President Wilson signed the bill Monday providing for the registration in the draft of men who have become 21 since June 5, 1917, and are 21 on or before the day of registration next June 5. About 800,000 men will be available for military service among the new registrants this year, it is estimated. It is planned to have quarterly registrations during the year which begins June 5.
French troops in Flanders have made an important advance against the German line on a front of more than two miles and have captured more than 400 prisoners. On the western end of the Macedonian front, French and Italian troop forces have advanced two and a half miles.
FRENCH LINE PUSHES ON
Maj. Raoul Luffery, held to be the best aviator in the American service, was killed in France Sunday when a German triplane shot his machine down. Major *Luffery* had downed seventeen Hun planes and had been decorated with several honor crosses.
More than 2,000,000 American soldiers are now insured by the Government for more than sixteen and a half billion dollars. The average amount of insurance applied for is $8,209 and the maximum permitted is $10,000. About 11,000 applications for insurance are received daily

Jayhawkers To Enter Six Athletes in Annual Missouri Valley Meet
Carl Riee is Expected to Break The Valley High Jump
Record
Not more than six athletes will represent Kansas at the annual Missouri Valley track and field meet at Columbia, Mo., May 25 according to W. O. Hamilton. The K. U. entry will be small this year because of lack of good material.
400 km hour. Carl Rice will enter the high jump in the valley meet and is expected to break the record. Rice has jumped more than six feet and will try for a record Saturday. Marshall Haddock, the crack Kansas dash and weight man will enter the discus and 220 yard dash at Columbia. Paul Murphy will run in the half and should place. Howard will make the trip to compete in the pole vault, high jump and broad jump. Ralph Rodkey has been broad jumping more than 21 feet 6 inches and will place in his event. Dewall may be taken on the trip to run the mile and Glewie may be taken for the two-mile.
The Missouri team has the class of the Valley and should win the big meet easily. Kansas entries can be counted upon to return about fifteen points. $ _{4} $
Engineers Receive Call To Report at Camp Lee
Seven Students from Reserve Corps Ordered to Petersburg. Virginia
---
The senior engineers who enlisted in the engineers' reserve corps have been called to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., to report immediately. They will enter the Fourth Reserve Engineer Officers' Training Camp. They are Charles L. Shughart, Page Wagner, Rudolf Uhrlaub, William R. Brown, Warren Neumann, F. C. Walters, and Julius Krebs.
"This training camp for engineers began the middle of May," said Prof. G. C. Shaad, "but the seniors who have just been called only received word last Saturday to prepare to go. Some of the men have gone home for a few days before starting to the camp. No massage confirming the names of these men has been received although word was sent for the seniors in the Engineer Reserve Corps to report."
Quake About 5,200 Miles Away Was Recorded Here
An earthquake was recorded yesterday by the seismograph, in Blake the primary wave starting at 11:46:20 and the secondary wave at 11:55:56. The main wave was felt at 12:06:20 and the end of the wave at 12:48. The distance of the earthquake was estimated to be from 5,150 to 5,200 miles. The direction being uncertain, but it was thought to be in or near Italy.
Prof. F. E. Kester, of the department of physics, said if the record is of a submarine earthquake it was probably of little consequence, but if the earthquake occurred on land, judging from the distance and strength of the record, it must have done considerable damage.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Regular work on the Hill was suspended this morning, while K. U. read the Jayhawker. This accounts for the brevity and simplicity of this column.
Two long lines of palpitating humanity in Fraser Hall at 9 o'clock this morning. A sudden hush. The windows of the office are slammed up simultaneously, and the smiling faces of Harry and Don are upon the crowd. Each stude jams up to get his book, has a slight delay because he has lost his receipt, and then retreats. He looks first for the picture of himself.
"The radius rods, front axel and one wheel were broken and the frame was bent," said the story of an auto smash-up last night. Who ever would have believed that the little yellow Ford possessed such a diverse variety of internal workings?
Such was the dramatic opening of the sale of the 1918 Jayhawk.
There are some things worse than others, and one of the bad ones is, after reading a comfortable little murder story by Kipling, to have some one crawl into your room via the fire escape. At least that is what one of the girls at 1244 Ohio street thinks, since another girl of that house resorted to the iron stairway as a means of entrance.
Of course you noticed the wonderful full-page photograph of Walter Havekork? Walter is 'way out in California at an aviation camp now, and he doesn't look like the picture any more—he— has the mumps on both sides.
The most pathetic thing about professors is that they know it! Said a geology prof recently, "Did any of you students ever seen a fossil around here—er—that is, I mean, in the rocks."
"Well, I'm glad to know what that girl is at last. I've seen her on the Hill a thousand times."
TYPICAL COMMENT ON THE BOOK
"This picture of me is simply terrible."
"He sure had his nerve putting all his committees after his name. I'd hate to be so anxious to get something in."
"Where they ever got the idea that she is a beauty is more than I can see."
Editor: "What do you know that's funny?"
"Gosh, look how many of their guys flunked and couldn't be initiated."
Invariable answer: "Nothing funny about me. Nothing but gobs of gloom. Eight papers to get in by Friday."
Farnsworth to Dance
With Helen Topping
Clyde Farnsworth of the School of Engineering, will show his ability in a line different from engineering, when he acts as the dancing partner of Miss Helen Topping at the Bowersock Theatre Thursday night in the benefit recital given to raise enough money to enable K. U. to support fifty more of the "Fatherless Children of France."
The Masks, Where Are They?
The wind being in a favorable quarter, the director of crematiorium is launching his periodic gas attack against the University this afternoon.
Miss Topping will also be assisted by her twenty-two dancing pupils, and by Mrs. Herman Olcott and Prof. Carl Preyer. Many clever and unique dances, which will come as a surprise, have been planned for the recital.
Scene of Conference Of Y.M.C.A. Will Be In Ozark Mountains
Change from Estes Park to Hollister, Mo. to Reduce Expenses
Plans Progressing Rapidly
Men Interested Requested to Meet Tuesday Night on the Golf Links
All men who are interested in the Y. M. C. A. Conference which will be held at Hollister, Mo., in the Ozarks, instead of Estes Park, Colo., will meet on the golf links Tuesday night. The change was made to Hollister, Mo., because of the expense of the trip to Estes Park.
The conference will begin June 1, one week earlier than usual, in order that the students will not lose the week between the closing of school and the conference. The trip to Hollister will cost $31.50 per person.
Among the speakers at the conference will be Harry F. Word, Bishop T. Thurston, A. J. Elliott and C. G. Hounsell. "Dad" Elliott, who has just returned from conducting clean living campaigns in the different cantments, will also be at the conference. Other leaders are the Rev. Paul B. Kern, Southern Methodist University; Professor J. D. Griggs of the University; and C. W. Williamson, of Memphis, Tenn. The foremen will be spent in addresses by the different leaders and discussions on national and international problems, student life and the religious work of the campus.
The following states will be represented in the conference: Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. The University of Kansas has had the largest delegation for the season and it is hoped that at least twenty men will go from here this year.
George S. Balley, newly elected president of the association for the coming year has entered the navy and has returned home to await his call. B. Jenkins, vice-president will succeed the president and will complete the appointment of cabinet men. The men chosen this far are: Walter Nufer, recording secretary; Fred Jenkins, personal work; Herman Hangen, social; Frank Stacey, boy's work; Harold Hall, gospel team; Logsborn Walther, conventions; Earl Pickerel, sick visitation; Edward Mason, social service. The publicity, student finance, membership, Bible study and mission committees are now open for appointments.
First Red Cross Day At K. U. Brings $1,483; Drive is Going Good
"The quota of the University for the Red Cross War Fund will be passed," said Dean G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering, who is chairman of the finance committee of the University War Council, this morning. "The committee is well pleased with the response made by the students and faculty at the convocation yesterday, when they raised a total of $1,483."
Committee On Trail of Students Who Have Not Signed Official Cards
"The task before the committee at the present time," said Dean Shaad, "is to find out those students who have not contributed. Every student must be reported to the county committee whether they have contributed or not."
The work of covering men of the faculty and employees will be in the hands of Prof. J. G. Brant, the women members, will be given to Prof. May Gardner. Women students will be in charge of Mary Nichols, and the men students are to be in charge of Charles Shugart.
The women have a booth in Fraser Hall today where subscriptions may be paid. It is proposed to have a corps of eighty women. Each woman will be given the names of several who have not contributed, and the plan is then to have these seen personally. The same plan probably will be worked out for the men students, faculty, and employees.
