PRINGLE TALKS OF TRIP
Not a Pacifist But is Impressed by German Organization—Belgians Need Clothing
Kenneth Pringle, the returned Henry Ford delegate and president of the K. U. International Club Polly, was deeply impressed while abroad with the thorough organization of the German society and the no opinion as to his belief as to the outcome of the present war, but he feels that he has gained a great deal of helpful information concerning the European conditions from his conversations with officers and private soldiers from both the English and the German armies.
It was while on the closed train crossing German from Warmemunde to Bentheim that the K. U. delegate had been retired from active service on the French front and had won an iron cross for bravery. The officer talked freely in English with the delegates, who had been given the whole range of duties and were able to alight while passing through Germany. At one station the delegates passed a troop train carrying soldiers to the front and at another army station passing the border all of the delegate were transferred to a Dutch train.
The refuges that escaped into Holland and Denmark have been well cared for by the two governments, said Pringle. In both countries many rich Belgians are living at the hotels waiting until the close of the war. On board the Noordam coming to America, Belgian relief Commission who said that the Commission was now caring for six million people of the invaded kingdom and that there was plenty of food on hand, but the need of sufficient warm clothing was very urgent. "I was deeply impressed," said Krije van den Heuvel of the return trip, "by what was told me by Doctor Webster, an American who had been a court dentist in Berlin for the past nineteen years and was returning with his wife to America on our ship. He expressed the belief that the German government was prepared to deal from feeling the want of food. The German chemists have discovered means of making synthetic rubber and petroleum. Doctor Webster said that the taking over of the food supply was merely the installing of the German system of eliminating useless waste. Broth and milk are both unintentionally part of the government officials."
Doctor Webster said that all the supply of milk was turned over to the officials by the producers and then checked out by the people. The checking out of milk was so regulated by the age that the youngest children had first rights to the supply and the older children did not. Doctor Webster said that never as yet had been unable to secure all the milk that he desired.
BABIES COME FIRST
Pringle, who has spent the past six weeks constantly with other American students on the peace cruise, is not impressed by the question of preparedness. He says that he is not altogether in sympathy with the President's policy of more
preparedness. He points to the example of the warring powers which were prepared nations. Pringle feels that a nation that is not backed with a large army and navy will hesitate to declare war and will make greater efforts to settle the international disputes peaceably. He says that from 1945 until the end of World War II President Wilson entirely within his rights in urging this nation to lay plans for stronger defense, and that the Germans were generally of the opinion that Woodrow Wilson was playing his country into the hands of the Allied powers. Pringle says that he does not expect to win the K. U. International Polity Club over to the Peace propaganda, but rather to continue its study of both preparedness and commitment as a means toward world peace.
Pringle also became acquainted with George Edwards, who was a moving camera camera man from Tampa. He worked there and was in the employ of "Con" Squires.
Among the college delegates to Europe Pringle met Miss Nellie Reader of Wellesley, who is a native of Hays, Kansas.
U. S. SHOULD PROTECT
Federal Action Only Solution to Flood Problem, According to Prof. H. A. Rice
"The fifteen million dollars lost in Kansas last year during the flood season cannot be blamed to the state government", said H. A. Rice, professor Civil Engineering at the University, who returned this week from a meeting of the National Drainage Congress at Cairo, Ill. "The state can take no action in the matter of building dikes along the Kaw river. The reservoirs, but would mean three times as much loss in Missouri and the states south of St. Louis along the banks of the Mississippi.
SOONERS WANT A MEET
"With dikes along the Kaw in Kansas and no protection by Missouri along the Missouri river, the lower districts there would be flooded and water would flow a swift current coming down from the Kaw. And, even should Missouri and Kansas go together, build dikes along both rivers, the land along the Mississippi below the mouth of the Missouri would be subject to greater danger and move less than in Kansas and Missouri combined.
NEED FEDERAL ACTION
"The only solution of this drainage and environmental protection legislation, is through national legislation. A bill known in the house as the Clark bill and in the senate as the Williams bill, whereby the money from the sale of certain lands is to go toward drainage and flood protection, has been endorsed by the National Drainage Congress and people in this part of the country themselves the loss they suffer about once every five years, should take enough interest in the matter to inform their congressmen of their wishes. It is a matter of no little concern that a hundred million dollars' worth of property are lost in flooding because there is no protection from high water. The cost of constructing a system of dikes along the
Bennie Owen Would Meet K. U in Outdoor Track—Other Sport News
NEED FEDERAL ACTION
Bennie Owen, coach of Sooner athletics, is very anxious to get a track meet with Kansas in the spring on the outdoor track. He did not ask for any particular date but insisted that he would like to have it on the 08ka-14 team. The timeout time no steps have been taken to close a deal with the Sooners.
In the first place the Kansas track schedule is crowded to capacity on the outdoor as well as the indoor track. A hard meet is scheduled for every week-end from April 22 to June 3. This leaves little time for a track meet and it would be difficult that meet could be arranged for would be on April 29. But Hamilton has set aside that date for the annual inter-class meet. The Penn Games in Philadelphia will be held on the same date and if Kansas sends a relay team to that meet the interclass affair will have to be postponed for a week or two. In either event the Oklahoma meet would be in conflict with present plans.
The financial consideration involved in such a meet is also worrying Hamilton. Whether the meet is held here or in Oklahoma it would not draw a crowd large enough to pay expenses of the visiting team. This would cause a drain of nearly three hundred dollars on the treasury for the meet cannot figure how it would be worth three hundred dollars.
The offer has not been accepted or refused yet and probably will not be or some time. In case anything comes up that will make conditions favorable Hamilton will be glad to meet the Sooners.
The Jayhawkers leave next week for their only eastern trip this year. The boys will arrive in Columbia Wednesday for a couple of games with the Hawks and Thursday nights. Then they will journey to St. Louis for games with Washington Friday and Saturday. This series will practically decide whether not Kansas has a chance at anything except last place in the Conference.
In other years Washington has always proved easy for the Jayhawkers except on the St. Louis court. A mysterious something seems to help the Pikers when they are at home for in football and basketball they hold up well in small-season games, Washington does best Missouri in football last fall on the St. Louis gridiron but they never did that at Columbia.
Basketball practice last night consisted of goalshooting and passing. Only half of the court could be used because of the "K. U. Follies" stage being in place. But the goup got a chance to play and they possibly they can be better able to find the goal in the games this week than they have in the past weeks.
The hurdle tryouts for the Normal meet had to be postponed until Thursday because of this same stage. These were to have been held yesterday. This will give the obstacle jumps a better chance to get in shape but they will not have a chance to use the sprinting boards on the main floor.
Track practice yesterday consisted of a short workout for the distance men. Resting from the tryouts on Monday, the men would be toiminat ed to the track to do final for the final distance tryouts this afternoon. The half mile and two mile tryouts will be held this afternoon. A rehearsal for the K. U. Fellies attained by the team members and the railing near the stage was thickly settled with track men.
