This acHon has been taken bv the war department, accord Jng to a communication received at the department of military science and tactics, yesterday. It will be of great interest to a large number of students at the University of Ncb.aska, who have enlisted in the enlisted reserve corps, especially In the engineering and medical branches. The communication reads as fol Oswald Black Anna Burtless E. Forest Estea Gaylord Davis Francis Grace Johnson Jack Landale Lyman Mead Carolyn Reed Flood News Editor GEORGE W. NEWTON ' For This Issue "When you are discouraged, things ware not going as you want them to, when Fate seems to have dipped your pet plans in inky gloom until you can hardly recognize them yourself, it might help to smile steadily for five minutes. You are liable to dis cover in tiiat five minutes that the way other people do things is just about as effective as your own. Dis couragement may result in broad-mindedness. THE UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA As a member of the University orchestra, a student will receive in struction from Lincoln's most com petent instructors of music, teachers who have been accredited by the de partment of fine arts. Besides the special training, one hour of Univer sity credit is given. The orchestra meets Saturday mornings from 10 until 12 hours convenient . for prac tically all students. Aside from the benefit a student will receive through this training, there is a benefit for the college. A school as large as Nebraska needs a good orchestra. This year, par ticularly, when we are, or should be, depending more on ourselves and less on professionals for our good times, a school orchestra is almost a necessity. There is no reason why Nebraska can not have an orchestra which will be as widely known as the band is. The band will naturally suffer from the men withdrawing to do war ful and splendid Bervice. To help him in his hours of recre- nrtinn Is Almost1 as essential as to see that he is properly cared for in th fipld. We have the right to make his burden as light as we can and as he has the right to receive whatsoever we can do in this spirit. Our men cannot all come back to us hut rnv w Ish la that those who do may be greatly enobled by their bat ties as we should greatly gain by the enriflfPi which we are willing to make for them. FORMER NEBRASKA MAN SENDS ARTICLE FROM CHINA Charles Lobinger Give Informa tion Regarding American Uni versity Club in China The alumni office has received an article In regard to the American University club of China from Charles S. Lobinger, who received degrees from Nebraska in '88, '92, 94. '03. He is now Judge of the United States court for China and Is a member of the club. The American University club is composed of nearly three hun dred'graduates and former students of American universities, who are now living in China. The membership is about equally divided between Chinese graduates of American universities who have returned home to China, and of Americans 'who are engaged in the various business, educational, medical and missionary enterprises that are being conducted in the Republic of China. The club was organized in 1903 and the membership has grown 6teadily. The purpose of the club is to stimulate a closer fellowship between Americans and Chinese which is so necessary to the future peace and well-being of the Pacific. There are now about seven thousand Americans living in China and the past few years has been a great stimulus in the growth of American business and other Interests in China. Since China is now being rapidly modernized along western or Ameri can lines, the American University club desires to emphasize the impor tance of a closer study of questions dealing with the Far East on the part of American colleges and Univer sities. American students or profes sors desiring special information on subjects dealing with China and the work. An orchestra would doubtless influence many high school students, Orient are urged to communicate with who otherwise would go elsewhere for their college training, to come to Nebraska. OUR DUTY TO OUR CITIZEN ARMY By Hamlin Garland To me the most amazing social change which the war has brought about is the transformation of our army from a small command of mis cellaneous volunteers into a gigantic union of the fighting citizens of the Nation. More than a million men, selected for their youth, their cour age, and their virility are to pre sent America to Europe in the guise of warriors, and - in all fhe pictures which we have been permitted to see of them they are so unmistakably of the new world that only a glance is needed to distinguish them from a group of French or British soldiers, fine, upstanding though they may be. Our army is a citizen army. If is composed of our brothers, our cousins and our sons. Nothing like it has been seen in American even in the days of '61, for at that time the volunteer system alone deter mined the ttrvice. The American army in France is ourselves in khaki. All classes are represented. It I en tirely democratic in it personnel and in its spirit It is an army to be proud of and to be cared for. It is far from borne and It will not be strange if many of the boys becomt homesick especially if the winter campaign settles down to a dreary siege in the trenches. To lighten this gloomy routine, to maintain a close and hearty interest in this body of American citizens detailed- for special duty, to support them not- merely with, munitions of war bet with those supplies in which we can put pure admiration, our gratitude and our love, is our duty duty which we siouid rr&sp as s privilege. Our men will be none the the American University Club, Shang hai, China. 300 UNIVERSITY NIGHT TICKETS YET ON SALE . (Continued from page one) night werp gobbled up by the hungry mob last Tuesday which thronged the lobby of the Temple building and overflowed into the street. The morn ing sales yesterday were rather quiet until the students caught on to the fact that the tickets could be ob tained at the College Book Store and then in the afternoon they went more briskly. Close to a hundred seats were disposed of Wednesday which brought the total up to nearly 1,100. There are from 300 to 400 yet on sale at the store across the street and can be obtained any time. Officials are enthusiastic over the hearty response of the University to the announcement of the 6ale and with the smoothness with which the stunts" are progressing they were wearing broad grins when inter viewed last night. Starts Promptly at 7:15 On account of the early stopping of the street cars the program will begin sharply at 7:15 and will be run off In Jig time. The curta'n will fall at 10:15 o'clock and, if a few light hearts are forced to walk home in the moon light from her house it will not be the fault of the Uni versity Y. M. C. A- Properties will be in readiness for each stunt and there will be no longer waits be tween acts than possible. Patrons are urged to bear in mind the three facts: that tickets are on sale at the College Book Store for 15 cents, that the scene of the big show is the city Auditorium and that the curtain will raise promptly at 7:15. May Wear Insignia of Enlisted Reserve Corps Students who have enlisted in the Enlisted Reserve Corps will be per uwlied to wear the. insignia of the branches of the service in which they recommendations of the chief of the engineers in the second indorsement, that engineer enlisted reserve students be authorized to wear, on the left lapel of the coat In civilian clothes, or on tho left hand Bide of the collar if uniformed students, the regulation enlisted man's button of the corps of engineers,-without company letter, but being distlnotly understood that the enlistment of these men In the en listed reserve corps does not authorize them, on account of such enlistment. to wear the uniform of the Lniiea States army, or any part thereof, other than the button, until called Into ac tive service.

Now fades the glossy, cherished an- thacite; The radiators lose their temperature: How ill avail, on such a frosty night. The "short and simple flannels of the poor." Tho in the ice-box fresh and newly-laid The rude forefathers of the omelet sleep, No eggs for breakfast until the bill is paid ; We cannot cook until coal is cheap. - . t Can Morris-chair or paper-Mache bust Revivify the falling pressure-gage?

URGES SOUTH TO PRODUCE MORE FOOD Secretary McAdoo, as director gen eral of the railroads, has issued a statement declaring that the produc tion by each section of the United States of its own food and feed stuff would effect a great relief in the transportation problem. He urges upon the people of the South, especially the farmers, to re lieve the strain on the railroads as much as possible during the coming year by producing their own food and feed crops, thus rendering unneces sary the transportation of such mate rials from other parts of the country to them. The secretary emphasizes the fact that he does not suggest that the grow ing of cotton should be discouraged, but that the south, in addition to rais ing all the cotton that it can well cul tivate, should grow hay and corn tor its stock and produce as much food as possible (or its own people. He saya, "If the South can feed it self, the effect' will be to release from unnecessary service in the South a Tho Spring Drive is now on.
