MAYBE THE AUTHOR WAS IN
CAMP, TOO
Almost everybody has heard the
story of the drafted millionaire who
found bla superior officer to be the
roan who bad formerly buttoned up
his shoos In the morning.
That familiar Incident Is only ex
ceeded by one of the sergeant who
went Into a ramp library maintained
by the American Library association
and asked for a late book an ship
building. The association takes great
pains that all books of a techlncal na
ture which might be useful to soldiers
and sailors, aro kept 'on the shelves.
So the librarian In charge reachod
confidently for a brand new book on
shipbuilding and handed It to th ser
geant. "Shucks," grunted the sergeant, "I
did the drawing for that book!
COMPANY "A" STEPS
INTO THE LIMELIGHT
(Continued from page 1)
Several prospective Journalists have
answered The Dally Nebraskan's call
for help but with men being taken
from the staff for the officers' train
ing camps every week more will be
needed if the paper is to live. Un
usual opportunities for advancement
are open as a result of the contiriued
drafts upon the editorial and busi
ness staffs and men with some little
journalistic experience will be able
to gain valuable newspaper experience
before they leave as well as learn a
great deal of the inner mechanism of
the University organization. Those
who wish to try for the staff positions
should draft a story of some campus
or training camp activity and turn it
in at the office, west entrance base
ment University hall, together with
their name and address.
Entertainments staged by the Y. M.
C. A. in the barracks helping to re
lieve the tension of the new life of
the members of the training corps,
are proving at Nebraska the real value
of the Red Triangle work. Untiring
in their efforts to secretaries see
that every week some new form of
amusement is provided for the men
and letters home are filled with com
mendation of the men who make pos
sible a diversion from the army rou
tine. Whether in the camps of this
company or near the front line
trenches the Y. M. C. A. has the re-1
spect of every man in the service and
when the war is won no small part of
the credit will go to the association
and its faithful secretaries.
LINE UPI
It ain't the guns, nor armament,
Nor funds that they can pay,
But the close co-operation
That makes them win the day.
It ain't the individuals
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlastln team work
Of every bloomin' soul.
Rudyard Kipling.
MAY MEAN MUCH TO WORLD
"Unconditional surrender" must
stand as the verdict of the allied na
tionse to the central powers. Nego
tiations with Germany or Austria
Hungary under the present conditions
can nvoaji only the prolongation of
the war and the added sacrifice of
both life and money.
Germany's peace notes are sent only
in the hope of gaining a stay in hos
tilities while her men are marshalled.
Her last note is well characterized in
the words of Senator Lodge of Massa
chusetts as a "clumsy trap, awkard
ly set, to involve us In diplomatic dis
cussion. If answered at all," he says,
"it should beanswered only with de
mands of unconditional surrender."
WHAT DO SOLDIERS READ?
There is as much diversity In the
books read by our soldiers In camp as
in those read by men outside of camp
possibly more. The most obvious
demand is for books on military
sciences. The American Library asso
ciation library at Camp McArthur,
Texas, keeps a stock of over 100 cop
ies of "Moss' Infantry Drill Regula
tions," and the supply is even then
often 6hort.
Fiction is popular, with the books
written by Zane Grey in the lead.
One man came into the library to
make his will and found help in "Par
san's Laws of Business."
The camp has much-used collections
of books in Yiddish, Spanish, French,
Roumanian, Modern Greek, Italian,
Russian and Polish. One bright young
Pole told Librarian Joy Morgan re
cently that his wife and two children
were in that part of Poland invaded
by Germany. Ho had not teard from
them since the beginning of the war.
Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound
to Have Great Influence on the
Minds of Men.
Flying, in the opinion of British
avi-itors. Is going to chunge the char
acter of the world's thought. It will
have a broadening Influence and It
will bring a fresher, cleaner flow of j
Ideas into the brains of men.
A man, the flyers argue, who has
6een before him at the same time the
cliffs of England, the long flat fields of
Holland and the smiling countryside
of Belgium and France Is bound to
think In a different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
ed by bricks and mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Traveling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely. He will eee
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by a shin
ing strip of water. He will see the
green and brown mosaic of Belgium,
which In its turn merges Into the dis
tant shadow of Holland, while, etlll
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant lowlands sweep
on over the rim of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be
tween individuals and cliques then?
thejbirdmnn asks. He can cover with j
nis tnuniD irom me neignts a iever
Ish city swarming with a million peo
ple. What will he think of those who
live next to each other nnd will not
speak? How moan nnd petty their,
quarrels nnd jealousies and hates will
seem.
Tlie true moaning of humnn Inter
course and friendship will come home
to him. Ue will gain nn almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty,
civil strife, nil will seem to him
contemptible. Perhaps, say the avla- j
tors, this Is the new view which will
bring the millennium.
NOTHING DOING FOR JOSEPH

Had Little Control Over
Steam Powers.
Meekly made up his mind that he
wasn't going to be bossed any-longer
by his wife( so when he went home
at noon he called out. Imperiously:
"Laura I Laura i"
Mrs. Meekly came out of the kitchen
with perspiration on her face, her
hands covered with war flour, and a
rolling-pin in her hand.
"What do you wont with Laura?"
she asked.
Meekly staggered, but braced him
self up. "I want you to understand,
madam" and he tapped his breast
dramatically "that I am the engineer
of this establishment, that I am "
"Oh, you are, are you? Well, Jo
seph, I want you to understand that

was the key note of his remarks, and
he gave a few hints on military cour

know they ought to and want to,
whereas the Germans obey because
they are made to.
Yells Start Program

was put In a good humor ty a talk by
"Ox" Black. Lieutenant Murphy then
occupied the stage and Impressed up
on the men the discipline idea and
heartily endorsed the company's ef
forts toward company spirit and unity.
Dwight E. Williams, accompanied
by F. Dwight Klrsch, sang two war
songs, one of which wus written by
a Canadian soldier in the trenches of
France.
A musical skit followed the vocal
solo In which A. D. Zook, accompan
ied by W. B. Dixon, combined saxa
phone, piano and singing Into a clever
number. They were recalled several
times by the applause.
Fred Aden, one of the Red Triangle
Hecrvtarles who was In charge of the
Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Funston
last year, gave a talk on what the "Y"

Beber wound up the program with an
other talk In which be emphile(
