U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kangan aims to picture the undergraduate at Gothenburg to go further than merely printing the news or being an exhibitor; he holds to; play no favoriter; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of his ability the students of Gothenburg. THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1918. The war;—nothing else matters. What did the preachers and lecturers find to talk about before the war began? K. U.S HONOR FLAG Again the University has gone over the top. The granting of an honor flag to the University for being the first Douglas County organization to exceed its quota in the Third Liberty Loan, is just another reminder that the University realizes the seriousness of the war, and realizing that seriousness, is willing to do not only its duty, but more than its duty. Already more than thirteen hundred K. U. men have gone into the war, the majority of them as officers and non-commissioned officers. The Friendship Loan Fund, and the First and Second Liberty Loans were oversubscribed, and now the Third Liberty Loan has not been only over subscribed, but doubled. The University is bound up in the war, and in the future, as in the past, can be counted on to do more than its share. THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T The people who rush to a movie or a lecture early to get an end seat can also be counted on to grumble if they have to move to let others in. Germany used to be ready with ultimatums. The Dutch are the first to have to wait for one. This is significant. Not that an ultimatum will never come to the Dutch, or that Germany has any turning from bloodlust That 'would be astounding. Rather the German has calculated his strength and found it insufficient to ride over one more nation just now, especially one like Holland. The coward must have assurance before he will strike. The lack of assurance evident now tells the story of receding German power. Holland, neutral and non-contributive of materials for war to belligerents, is the hope of the Allies. Holland or any other nation not in the way of more pressing military business is the present German desire. But Germany's hesitation at provoking Holland rests on more than immediate desire; it may devolve on possible adverse eventualities. The Dutch-German frontier is a vital point in the very left side of Germany. Should it be exposed to a concentration of Allied strength brought up to do more than just support Holland, a jabbing shaft might be projected into the heart of the empire, far back of the German main line of offense. The Germans can take no such chances. They know they can't. The war; nothing else matters. Why all wool in your clothes HERE are some of the reasons because all wool wears longer than cotton and wool mixtures; because it holds its shape better; tailors better and stays stylish. Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx Because of these things, all-wool clothes save time, labor, materials and money; and right now our country needs those things. That's why we sell all wool clothes and why you should buy them; they're best for you and what's best for you is best for us. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are all wool; they're made and priced to give you the best clothes value to be had. If you don't think you get such value, you get your money back.

Community So All May Know To the Editor: Students are zealous of the reputation of the University for its hospitable spirit to guests, why should not professors display at least common courtesy to strangers-within-the-gates? For that matter, if hospitality be lacking, individual rights should guarantee any citizen of the State of Kansas the right to sit peacefully in any class-room of the University during the recitation of a class. An instructor in the French department assumed the privilege of autoratically dismissing a guest, a young woman, from class on Monday morning of this week. It was not even his class, but one in which he was substituting for an absent fellow instructor. MENTAL LAPSES A Senior. After visiting a nephew in Boston an old gentleman from Maine stopped in front of a movie-theater poster displaying pictures of lions, tigers, elephants and other beasts of the jungle. "Good gracious, Richard!" he exclaimed, "I am glad I leave town toorrow." Whereupon the old gentleman pointed to the poster and repeated its legend: "Why?" asked the nephew, surprised. "To be released on Monday'." The novice was not enjoying his first trip through the air, and his companion regarded him with some amusement. "I say, Bill, what's on your mind?" "I was thinking about Abraham Lincoln," replied Bill thoughtfully. "Abraham Lincoln?" "Yes. How truthfully he spoke when he said a man's legs should be just long enough to reach to the ground." PLEASANT CONTRAST "Mike." "I was just thinkin'. After we get out of the trenches an' back home again how nice an' peaceful that old boiler-factory will sound to us."—Southern Woman's Magazine. "Mike. "Phwat." "My husband has no faults; he doesn't gamble and he doesn't drink." "Doesn't he smoke, either?" "Well, after a good dinner he may light a cigar, but that's only about once in six weeks."
