AMERICA AFTER THE WAR
(Continued from page two)
narrow escape from destruction at the
hands of materialistic ambitionit has
at least escaped. That, and not anger
or self-seeking, is the mainspring of
our energy in this war. Just as of
old, we are fighting for principles.
The war has given us back our Amer
ica. If in the end it increases our
wealth, it will at the same time have
increased our ability to hold fast to
principles. Unless we fail to grasp
the profound significance of the crisis
and read its moral, it will have taught
us that finest of fine arts, which is
this: Instead of being degraded by
possessions, to stand on top of them
and be exalted by them. Chicago

OVERMAN DESCRIBES
Y. H. C. A. WAR WORK
Track Captain at Camp Funs ton
Writes Interesting Letter
About Soldier Boys
An interesting account cf the work
the Y. M. C. A. is doing in the train
ing camps and some readable descrip
tions of soldiers and army life are
found in a letter written by Wallace
Overman. ex-'17, to Walter B'.unk. '19
Overman, who was track captain last
spring and an Innocent, is at Camp
Funston. Kas. He Is one of seven
Nebraska men who left the University
for men who intend to enlist was
to enter Y. M. C. A. war work.
The letter follows:
"Camp Funston Kas., Sept., 30, 1917
"Dear Walter:
"I received the "Rag" today for the
first time and you may well believe
that I was mighty glad to get it. I
had been wondering how things were
coming back at old U. of N., and was
pining for some inkling of news from
the old school. It surely did me a
world of good to sit down and read
about all the old friends who were
still on the job and doing things. It
made me wish that I were back again.
"It has occurred to me that ifi
might be worth while to give you a
few things which the Y. M. C. A. is
doing here in this big place, and if
you think it worth while I would not
object if you passed it on to the rest
through your columns. I do not want
to pose as a writer of any kind but
I thought you might be glad to know
of the sort of work we are doing here.
"When war was first declared there
was not a very widespread idea as to
just how much the Y. M. C. A. was
going to mean to the soldier boy.
But as time goes on and the men are
brought into closer contact with the
organization it is becoming more evi
dent that they are seeing just what
it Is meaning to them; rather, per
haps. I should say that they are com
ing to see just what it would be if
the Y. M. C. A. were not here.
A High Type
"We are finding a very high type
of men in this drafted army and it is
a pleasure to work with them. There
are a num'ber who have been in con
tact with Y. M. C. A. work ' ifore
and are very appreciative of the serv
ice. "The Y. M. C. A. is virtually the
only place to which the boys can come
and pass the time. After the novelty
of the situation wears off they find
that the Y. M. C. A. is about the only
place which takes no money and yet
gives them much worth while. As
you know, we have fourteen buildings
here in this camp, which will serve
about 60,000 men. That makes over
4.000 to each building. There are six
Y. M. C. A. men in each building who
have charge of the entire program of
events for that group of men. This
includes moving pictures on Mondays.
Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tues
day night we have a lyceum course;
Thursday night is the religious night
and Saturday night is "Stunt night."
"The physical director works in har
mony with the military physical direc
tor and we have all sorts of athletics.
There Is a director in each building
who directs the play for his four or
five thousand men. doing it of course,
through many men chosen from the
rrnks to help put ti across.
The Library
"In the way of serjrice to the men
we give them on an' average of 8,000
to 10,000 sheets of writing paper each
day, sell stamps, receive parcel post,
give out magazines, games, such as
checkers, etc., take their mail for
them, answer innumerable questions
on every conceivable subject, give
them use of the victrola and piano,
use of the library which contains
many of the latest works of fiction,
etc., and try in every way to do all
we can to serve the fellows who are
to uphold our standard of democracy
in this great world war.
"Each Y. M. C. A. building is an "E
shape and painted green to distin
guish it from the great number of
lumber buildings which are made of
the raw lumber and not painted.
"Among the soldiers there seems
to be very' little of dissatisfaction or
any unrest. In talking with the men
I find that most of them do not think
they will ever se France. They do
not ?eem to take it as seriously as
they might. The officers tell us that
all are quite anxious to learn and
apply themselves very diligently. The
men for the next officers' reserve
training camp are to be drawn from
these men and consequently all are
trying to do their best In order to
have7 a chance to get in on that
"Waiter, if you want to do a good
turn for some of the boys, I think
you can do it by sending some "Rags"
to the fellows here. There are a num
ber of university fellows in one com
pany but they are going to move so
I do not know what their addresses
their new address is and let you know.
They will appreciate it immensely.

The University Commercial club or
ganized and elected new officers last
Monday evening in the rooms of the
city commercial club. The prelimi
nary work of getting new members
was discussed, and a committee to in
vestigate the place of meeting was ap
pointed. The new officers are. Hollis H.
Kirsch, president; F. S. Pegler. vice
president; N. L. Springer, secretary,
and R. E. Wenk, treasurer. The mem
bers of the committee to investigate
the time and place of meeting, are
L. W. Ellis, chairman; P. G. Jones and
F. T. Cotter.
A meeting of the club will be held
next week to plan a campaign for new
members. The war has taken a large
number of men from the school of
commerce this year, and consequently
the membership of the club is likely
to be limited. For this reason the of
ficers have asked all students in the
school of commerce' to take an inter
est in the affairs of "the society.
The University Commercial club is
an organization of students which en
deavors to take a place in the Univer
sity similar to that of commercial
clubs in civil cmomunities Meeting
are held once a week. All students
registered in the school of commerce
are eligible to membership. In con

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
, form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations. .
It it easy to learn. It price includes an
Instruction Book.
' Hawaiian Steel Guitar
Every chord struck upon this typically rep
resentative Hawaiian instrument is marked
by a weird, plaintive harmony and strangely
beautiful qua! ities of tone. It brings, to any
music, qualities full of vivid color and va
ried charm.
