Annuals Are Here; Will Be on Sale in Fraser Tomorrow
Long-Awaited Liberty Bell Jayhawker Arrives Five Days Earlier Than Expected
Office Opens at 9 o'Clock
Receipts Must Be Presented and Payments Made In
The long-looked-for Liberty Bell annual, The 1918 "Jayhawker," has arrived!
Subscribers may get their copies at the check stand in Fraser Hall tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. The office will be open from nine in the morning to the afternoon in the after- Tuesday and Wednesday, and all afternoon Thursday.
Subscribers and seniors must present their receipts in exchange for their books, according to Don Davis, the manager of the publication. Those who paid only part of the subscription price when they subscribed, will be required to pay the balance when they receive their book, and such payments must be in cash. No checks will be accented.
The Jayhawkers were sent yesterday in packages weighing seventy pounds each, by parcel post, special delivery, from Jefferson City, Missouri; and this accounts for their early arrival in Lawrence, several days before they were expected. As there are only a few extra copies of the book, they expect that all the books will be sold by Thursday evening. Squires', Ober's, and Johnson & Carl will exhibit copies in their windows.
The Jayhawker is a handsome book, containing 450 pages, bound in maroon leather stamped in gold. It is military in style, and is said to be the most unique annual ever published on Mount Oread.

The War Here and Over There
"The glory of this war, as far as we are concerned, is that it is, perhaps, for the first time in history an unselfish war. I could not be proud to fight for a selfish purpose, but I can be proud to fight for mankind."—President Wilson at a New York Red Cross meeting.
German troops have taken up positions thirty miles northwest of Petrograd, on the island of Bjorke in the Gulf of Finland.
The Germans are thought to be waiting for favorable weather to resume their spring drive. A dark, foggy day would probably be chosen. They have been bringing guns, supplies, and new forces to the front for several weeks.
The British government, in an attempt to stop sedition in Ireland, has arrested all the leaders of the Sinn Fein Society including its members in Parliament. Probably 500 arrests have been made by the police and soldiers with but little resistance.
The United States Public Health Service is testing samples from every lot of serums and vaccines used in military forces and in civil life in order to make sure they are effective.

Kansas Defeated Tigers
In Dual Tennis Tourney
Kansas won the annual tennis tournament from Missouri Saturday on the McCook Field courts. It was the first tennis match of the season between schools of the Missouri Valley conference.
Capt, Kenneth Uhls of the Varsity won his two matches against Capt. Fred Warner of the Missouri team, by 6-2, 6-1. Matthews won the extra set of singles from Shirley 3-6, 4-4, 6-4, but lost to Warner 4-6, 8-1.
Shirky and Warner played the doubles for Missouri and defeated Skarer and Uhls. 3,6-4,6-2. Ubls played a good game, but Skarer was not up to his usual form. A stiff wind all through the tournament made the playing erratic and prevented clean-cut tennis.

The subject "The Thinking Journal" paper business," Mrs. Alrich telling of her long experience as editor of the "cawker City Public Record."
"During the time my husband and I conducted the Record," said Mrs. Alrch, "we never had a piano contest nor a law suit. It was a hobby of ours to preserve the history of the town and to stand for the best of all things in the community. During the thirty-five years we were in business, the Public Record outlived fourteen competitors."
Mrs. Alrich spent the day visiting the University. She was on her way to the G. A. R.

Red Cross Campaign for K. U. Opened With Big Convocation
Contributed by Arthur William Brown.
Auction Nets Over $4,000
Liberty Flag, Originated by J R. Holmes, Was Feature of RedCross Sale
The women of the Red Cross will hold a retail sale every afternoon this week of fancy work, cut glass and other articles.
"We are planning," said Mr. Holmes, "to take the flag around to the different Red Cross sales over the state and names can be added to the flag. Already we have an invitation for you to come." At Eudora the first week in June."
Plain Tales From The Hill
LARGE SUMMER SCHOOL
Many K. U., women who were afraid they would not be able to stay for summer school after the Fowler Shops fire, have now decided to stay. Their decisions came shortly after the announcement that 250 engineers will receive training on the Hill this summer.
The Liberty Flag which was originated by Mr. Holmes was probably the most characteristic feature of the entire sale. Saturday afternoon the flag was unfurled from the court-house by four women dressed in Red Cross uniforms. The citizens' band of Lawrence played while the Grand Army of the Republic escorted the flag to the court house.
The process from the first cross auction were greater than had been expected," said J. R. Holmes this morning. "The exact amount has not been totaled but we know that it amounts to more than $4,000."
"Unto the Least of These"
The rooms which were thoroughly cleaned a week ago Saturday in honor of mothers' day are about as dusty now as they were before. It will not be necessary, however, to have another upheaval before going home since Miss Duffield has about conpleted her tour of investigation.
Society Note: Emily got up early this morning to play tennis with his girl. As he had wisely opined, she invited him to breakfast with the kimona-clad sisters. It was a nice tennis game.
Visiting friend, looking at addition to Administration Building: "Will this be the largest building on the Hill?"
Freshman guide: "Why, I don't know about that, but I guess it is the longest in being built."
Workmen are removing strips of floor covering in the corridors in Fraser Hall. It is possible that the floors will be waxed, and the all-University parties joined in Fraser next year. It would not be so hard to decorate.
The life of the sleeping-porch habitue is a hard one. An organized cooperative serenade is not so bad, but when a crowd two doors away screams "That's where my money is," the caddies wail warbles, "Sing me love's lullaby," the effect is not harmonious, nor is it conducive to slumber.
Prof. Ise: "How would you form a partnership, Shoftail"
"Chuck": "Why, I would find me a partner, go get a license, and proceed to operate."
It is a fine bit of personal achievement to take a pill at one of the Hill's new drinking fountains. If this remark should seem a bit cryptic, try it. Besides, one pill more in the springtime is rarely anything other than beneficial.
The Men's Glee Club was given a real ovation at the Red Cross convoction this morning. Those who applaud most heartily had 11 o'clock classes.

Henry M. Beardsley of Kansas City Was the Chief Speaker
Both of the Glee Clubs Sang
"We Can Now Read History With Entirely New Light" Declared Speaker
Henry M. Beardsley, ex-mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, was the chief speaker of the program. The text of his speech was to outline briefly the causes and underlying forces of the present war.
The second gigantic Red Cross campaign was opened at the University of Kansas this morning at a special convalescation called at 10 o'clock by Vice-chancellor Burdick of the University. Dean Shad of the University of Engineering as chairman of the main committee of the University War Committee, will direct the campaign. $10,000,000 is the goal set for the United States.
HISTORY IN NEW LIGHT
HISTORY IN NEW LIGHT
"History when we now read it again comes to us in an entirely new light. I can now understand what Patrick Henry meant when he said, 'Give me liberty or give me death.'"
"The Boston Tea Party, Washington's willingness to give up everything and dare to fight with a meager barefoot army against the autocracy of a German King then ruling over the British people, and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, all come to us in a new light.
"We can understand Lincoln when he looked forward to the time when America would have to enter the fight to prove the right of a world and nations ruled of, by and for the people."
Mr. Bearlsley read a number of extracts from the catechism on the Italian Government published in 1843, the following which is typical of the awards and annotations in the manuscript are typical to the ideals of government at that time:
Question: "How should subjects behave toward their sovereigns?" Answer: "Subjects should behave like slavets toward their sovereigns."
EDUCATED TO AUTOCRACY
Such propaganda was spread among the people of Europe and taught in all of the schoolsUniversities. The speaker declared that today, Germany stands as the example of such painstaking and long practiced teaching of the divine right of kings.
"The work of the Red Cross must go on with the successful issue of this great war. We have given only a little of our abundance and we should rely on the funds they fund to prove to the Allies the bond of love that we have for them."
Mr. Bearsdley also gave a brief detailed account of the origin of the present war and the way in which the German subjects have been educated to look forward to the time when Germany would rule the world. In his book *The Empire of征服,* "Gott mitts upon" upon the backle of all German soldier's belts,"
"Lafayette we have come," were the words spoken by General Pership when he laid the wreath on the tomb of Lafayette."
SHAD EXPLAINED PLAN Following the patriotic speech of Mr. Beardsley, Dean Shand, explained the plan of the local committee for the week to raise money from the students and faculty.
"Every individual connected with the University must be reported to the committee in charge, and the proposition in simple is this: First, every one should give all they can; second, Every individual at least give some; third, no one shall give less than the minimum."
Envelopes containing pledge cards were passed out and Dean Shad requested that they be filled out and turned in immediately, either accompanied by the contributions or with a copy of their signature saying some time during the week.
Dr. Burdick introduced the speakers and music was furnished at the opening by the Women's Glee Club near the close by the Merl's Glee Club.
Mr. Harold Foster of Blackwell, Ok., is visiting Earl Youngmeyer, c'20.
