A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS TO THOSE WHO FEEL POOR: To Those Who Feel Poor: I write as your brother. We are a large family. This world-war made in Ger many, against which we are fighting, has sent our incomes down and our expenses up. The pinch hurts, but it is not going to kill us. We still have enough and something to spare. . Though we feel poor, don't let us be impoverished by selfish fear! Let us save in food, in service, in clothes, in luxuries and joy rides, but not in money! Let us use that by giving it to save the wounded, the suffering, our friends, our country! Let us keep Christmas this year by keeping up the Red Cross! Then it will not be a poor Christmas, but a rich Christmas to our hearts. HENRY VAN DYKE. The preceding open letter from Dr. Henry Van Dyke to the college men of America Is a reminder that we must do our Christmas thinking early. Our interest in Christmas time is broaded than it was one year ago, Just as our responsibilities are greater. We have no right to look forward to a white Christmas at home unless we first pro vide for a merciful Christmas across the water. It has been a long time since Ne braska has faced a situation like the present. It was seven years ago that students and coaches and the team were getting ready to wipe out a Kan sas defeat with a Cornhusker victory. The evening before the team left fur Kansas City, where the game was played, there was a big rally at the station and Coach King Cole told the rooters what would happen that Satur day. Thanks to the dodging ability of Owen Frank, present assistant coach, King Cole's predictions were true. Hut it was a hard-fought game, and a single touchdown decided it. How similar conditions are this year! Nebraska has a Kansas defeat to wipe out the first one she has suf fered for a long time, which makes it all the more necessary to eradicate it. The game will be close, either way it goes; if you doubt that point, read the reports from Lawrence. It will be a,hard-fought battle, a battle where Kansas spirit and Nebraska spirit will clash to the death. And the team leaves tonight for Kansas City; from there it will go to Law rence for the game. There is going to be a big send-off tonight, one that the team will remember when it trots out on McCook field Saturday. Coach Stewart will tell what is to happen Saturday, and Captain Shaw will tell you how the team feels about it. The band will play and the gang will cheer. And Saturday, if human endeavor can accomplish the feat, the team will make history our chance to help make history is tonight. Inspecting Candidates for Eastern Cadet Academy Captain Godfrey L. Carden of the United States coast guard service vis ited the military department Wednes day, with the view of looking into the matter of later on obtaining candi dates from the University for the Cadet academy of the United States coast guards at New London, Conn. There will be further information ob tainable from the military department later on. Captain Carden has already visited a number of eastern universities, and left Wednesday evening for Denver. Y. M. C. A. WAR WORK Newton D. Baker "On every battle front, and behind every battle line, the Young Men's Christian association operates to the comfort, convenience and happiness of the soldier. General Pershing has cabled me that the service rendered is invaluable. "The relations between the associa tion and the army are intimate and cordial, and all the agencies which the government has undertaken to install to surround our soldiers in camps in this country and abroad are supple mented by the helpful work of the Young Men's Christian association. "The need for this fund has been carefully estimated by you, and those working with you, and while the sum seems large it is, in fact, small when one remembers that its benefits ex tend over the great eastern and west ern fsonts, and while primarily for the service of the American soldiers, they are to a large extent helpful to our French, English, Russian and Italian comrades in arms. "We speak of our allies in this great war for liberty, and in our thought we include the soldiers of the other na tions on our side of the contest; but the Young Men's Christian associa tion is our ally, as are the other great religious and social agencies which strengthen and enable the purpose of our soldiers and surround their serv ice with care and comfort while they are separated from the wholesome in fluences of home. Cordially yours, "NEWTON D. BAKER, ' Serretary of War." ALUMNI NEWS H. Maitani, A. M.
