HEALTH SERVICE URGES CAUTION
Two Other Typhoid Cases Now Under Observation of Health Service
DANGER IN WELL WATER
Immunity Assured All Students Who Take Inoculation Previous to Infection
Two other suspected cases of typhoid fever are now under the observation, the University health service announced this morning. One of these cases has taken the three inoculations, while the other has been inoculated twice according to the health authorities, it is unable to determine whether it is due to their recent inoculations or to symptoms of typhoid.
Because of the death of one University student from typhoid Sunday, Paul Huxman, c20, Hutchinson, Kas, rigid measures of prevention are being enacted by the health authorities. Inoculation of students will be held at the University hospital every afternoon during the week Tuesday, however, is reserved exclusively for women, while Friday will be held open for men.
WELL WATER DANGEROUS
WATER
Emphasis is too strong on the necessity of boiling all water used for drinking or culinary purposes.
Well water is especially dangerous but the present city water should unintentionally be used for drinking purposes without first boiling.
Every student has been urged by the University health service to take the typhoid inoculations. Three vaccinations are required to make a person immune from typhoid fever, and when this immunity is lost, the inoculated is safe-guarded from taking typhoid for a period of seven years.
**SHOTS** ARE FAINTED. According to authorities and those who have been inoculated, these "shots" are painless and have no bad after-effect. Even though they were subject to a state of sluggishness, it would be much more effective. In fact, the treatments than to run chances of contracting a dreaded disease.

The foregoing by a contemporaneous magazine versifier refers to the kite industry. The book interested in and not the Greece on
which Dr. A. M. Wilcox, head of the Greek department in the University, will speak at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the chapel. Doctor Wilcox will not pursue exactly an oleagous theme, although he will picture the exceedingly slippery position Greece occupies in the European crisis today. Greece apparently occupies a poorly balanced position on a pair of well gretened international borders which just to explain just how this position came about, how racial, geographic, commercial, and other conditions placed Greece between the deep azure of the ocean and the iron works.
SECOND FACULTY LECTURE Doctor Wilcox speech will be the second of the two faculty lectures. Professor Patterson of the history department made the first talk, giving an account of a visit to front line trenches in the Rheims region in France. Doctor Wilcox will shift the view to Greece, the most famous place in the exposition of international intrigue the war perhaps has brought out.
DR. A. M. WILCOX
"As a result of study, travel, and in alert interest in all current affairs," said Dean Templin this morning, "Dr. Wilcox is especially vell qualified to speak on this subject."
"I want to be impartial in my treatment of the protecting powers of Greece, namely the allies, and the enemy. I think that Greece can see good and bad on both sides, but my lecture will probably disclose my sympathies. I want also to give them a second chance acquaintance are limited to bootball, a better notion of modern Greeks."
DR. WILCOX DISCUSS ALL PERIODS
Dr. Wilcox will deal largely with modern Greece, its antecedents, beginnings, history, people and milies in an endeavor to show how the present has come out of the past, touching its early romantic history as a setting for the present political situation.

WATER PRESSURE IS NOW NORMAL
Buildings Are Warm Wher Boilers Are Full Says Shea
LEAK IN PIPE REPAIRED
More Efficient Pumping System To Be Installed
With the repairing of the leak in one of the pipes just recently installed near the wells at the water plant, the water supply on the Hill and down town was at an almost normal pressure today. The pressure the pump had to increase the University heating plant to heat the buildings in the proper manner.
"As long as we have water with which to fill the boilers we will have heat in the University buildings," the superintendent buildings and ground staff this morning. "The pressure is good so far today, but we are unable to tell how long this condition will last. The minute the pressure goes off we must pull our fires from under the boilers that means no heat for the buildings."
SAATER DISCOVERED BREAK
The leak in the new pipe leading from the wells to the settling basin was never suspected, for the pipe had been but recently installed. Supply plant Frank Ssuper of the water plant accidentally discovered the break. The pipe was probably broken by the settling of the ground. The necessity of conserving the supply for use in a possible fire caused the men in charge to reduce the pressure yesterday.
SAUER DISCOVERED BREAK
The water company believes that the settling basin can be filled in one week. It will not be necessary to reduce the pressure very much. Another hindrance to the pressure yes, but we don't think we're having to fill the standpipe on the hill besider keeping the city supplied.
Plans are being made to afford relief from the shortage by the installation of a new machine which will pump water in a much more efficient manner and from a greater depth. Thomas Vetch, consulting engineer, said that it will take ten days or more to install these three new pumps.
The water was muddy today as it flowed from the pipes. In some locations in the city the flow amounted to only a thin pencil-shaped stream. The muddiness of the water is caused by the settling basin being disturbed. The rain yesterday was responsible.
ELECTRICALS RANKED HIGH
High Classification Placed On Oread Engineers By Westinghouse
The Electrical Engineering department of the School of Engineering of the University of Kansas is classified in the first sixteen out of a list of 120 universities in the United States from which the Westinghouse Electrical & Manufacturing Company annually picks a number of senior electrical engineers to take graduate work, according to L. M. Koehler, of that company, who is here today.
"The men selected take a graduate course for one year and are given a chance to apply the theories which they learned in school and to find employment. They have completed this course then they are taken out and given a position."
Mr. Bocker has been connected with the Westinghouse Company for a year. He received his degree from the Electrical Engineering department of the School of Engineering here in 1915. Last year he was here on a trip and says he enjoys getting back for a visit with the fellows.
"The fact that K. U. is included in this list of sixteen." Mr. Bocker said, "is significant of the high rating given to students. People give the University of Kansas
Mr. Bocker will lecture tonight at 7:30 in the Engineering building on "The Electrification of the Norfolk and Western Railroad." He will illustrate with a number of lantern slides, Mr. Bocker will also tell of his experience as a K. U. man starting in with the Westinghouse Company.
Mr. Biebel, the regular representative of the Westinghouse Company, will make a similar trip in the inter- school and classroom the first week in November.
Mr. Bocker will be here the remainder of the week, and will then go to some at Solomon, Kansas to see week's visit before returning to Pittsburgh.
POLITY CLUB TO TALK ON MILITARY TRAINING
The advantages and disadvantages of a system under which every able bodied citizen will be compelled to spend a limited amount of time in military training is the subject which has been explored by the International Polity Club tonight.
The subject of the discussion will be: Resolved that the United States should adopt the Australian system of compulsory military training; Harold Mattoo, William McCormack John Behring will open the meeting after which the members of the club will be given an opportunity to present his views on the subject. The meeting will be held at the Acacia house. Any students of the faculty who desires to become a member may attend this meeting.
STUDENTS WILL SUPPORT TEAM
Outbursts of Indignation Follow Statement That Rooters Are Disloyal
An article in a Kansas City paper this morning saying that the prevailing spirit at the University of Kansas was shown by the efforts of a group of students to raise $20 to bet against the K. U. team Saturday, was said to be an effort on the part of a number of students and faculty members this morning. Efforts to verify the report were of no avail but it is understood that if such an organization of students existed it had has a hasty dissolution. The other side of the Student Council, in refuting the article this morning said:
"Anyone who has witnessed an afternoon practice on McCook Field will realize that the students are behind the team. Even if a few student teachers in the article claim they have done it is far from right to say that the sentiment of the students is displayed by such action. At almost every scrammage there are scores of students watching and encouraging their efforts in order to build a winning team. It is a sham that such reports are circulated."
Other men verify the statements of Mr. Grever regarding the support given the team this year. Coach Ocott declares the support to be better than last year. Manager Hamilton was the only player who never been as consistent attendance at football practice as there is this year.
The article that has caused this outburst of indignation says in part that "Another item was added to the list, a boy who has been getting this season today when several widely known Jayhawker students announced that they had formed a pot of $200 to bet on the football game's game against their own school."
"We are not burning all the boxes and other loose property in town this year," Cheerleader Gedney said this morning, "but that does not imply we have to get there." Let the knackers come down to the field and see what we are doing."
WOULD LIMIT THE DANCE
Questionnaire to Determine Sentiment Concerning Hops
The Student Interests Committee n joint session last night decided to ask for an expression of student opinion as to a reasonable maximum limit to the number of dances which my organization may give during a concert. I will attempt to all organizations giving them a chance to express themselves.
Mrs. Brown was also instructed by the committee to refuse to grant permission for a dance to any organization which does not comply with the "three day" ruling, and if such an organization acts without her permission she must report it to the senate.
This joint committee instructed its chairman, Mrs. Eustace Brown, to accept only those applications for parties and dances which are signed by the organization and are presented by me of them in person.
"I have been lenient with those who are never able to get their applications in on time, but in the future such leniency will have to be discontinued," said Mrs. Brown this morning.
The freshmen of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority were the guests of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at their home. Tuesday evening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. refreshments were served an hour sport at dancing.
Pi K. A. Entertains

FACULTY BACKS ARMENIAN FUND
Department Heads and Class Organizations Will Solicit Aid
AS DESOLATE AS BELGIUM
Armenia Harried by Turks and Their Supplies Confiscated
The war relief committee will meet this afternoon-in Fraser Hall to discuss plans for raising money for the K. U. Armenian relief fund. At the Saturday meeting of the sub-committee, various plans were discussed and these will be decided upon definitely this afternoon.
It is probable that the contributions of the students will be solicited through the class organizations and the heads of the different departments will solicit the members of the faculty in their own division. An All-Uni- lizational program to promote money and a contribution will be solicited from the athletic association.
Upon investigation, the authorities of the University vouch for the worthiness of the Armenian cause and say the suffering there is as severe as it was two years ago in Belgium. The land of the Armenians and Syrians was overrun twice by the Turks, who killed all who opposed them and carried back with them all the implements and supplies of the
Henry Morgenthau, ex-ambassador to Turkey, is one of the leaders in the campaign in this country. He is familiar with the conditions existing among the Armenians and says that $5,000,000 will be needed to keep the race from dying this winter from the plague. He will keep an Armenian child alive for one month according to statistics.
