JAPAN IS FRIEND
OF UNITED STATES
Docs Not Wish to Engage in
Hostilities With Uncle
Sam.
'Yellow Peril Is Yellow Journal
isa" Declares Dr. Manakuchi
at Convocation.
"The West Interprets everything in
terms of imperialism," is the opinion
of Dr. Minakuchl of Japan, who ad
dressed a very large audience on the
subject of "The Yellow Peril Versus
the White Peril," at convocation yes
terday morning. .
"It was because of this that Japan
was alienated from former affections
of America. And it is because of this
that the stronger nations of the world
look upon each other with suspicion
and Jealousy, and their peoples are di
vided into hostile camps, not only as
rivals but as potential enemies."
Dr. Minakuchl said that after two
and one half centurieB of living to her
self. Japan was awakened to a new
meaning of life by America; when, be
cause she was then able to shake off
her eaggressors, the West turned Its
back upon her.
"The Yellow Peril is yellow journal
ism," Dr. Minakuchi declared, and fol
lowed his statement with a vigorous
attack on the newspapers of this coun
try. He said that the anti-Japanese
movement in America was caused by
agitation in the papers, a form of pan
German propaganda started in San
Francisco in 1906.
That his country Is not thinking of
going to war with the United States
the Japanese declared "'emphatically.
He said Uncle Sam was the biggest
and finest customer Japan had. Fur
thermore, Japan has not the money to
carry on war, with a military tax of
thirty-five per cent, levied to pay the
interest on the enormous national
debt. He said Japan does not want

every man who has won his "N." It

er athletes organized for the promo
tion of and support bigger and better
athletics at the U. of N. The stars of

NO WORD FROM PROF.
BENGSTON IN NORWAY
No word has reached either the
faculty at the university or Professor
Bengston's family of his safe arrival
in Norway. Professor Bengston left
New York February 20th on the
steamer "Bergensfjord" for Chris
tlania. where he was sent for the
present to investigate and report upon
the economic conditions of the Scan
dinavian countries, under the super
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce. Later he may
work in Denmark, Holland and per
haps Germany. The strike which
has delayed all activity in New York
harbor has probably prevented his
letters rrom reaching the United
States.
GUY REED ADDRESSES
Mil COHIMCIAl CLUB
Speaker Says Thorough Business
Training Is Required for
Successful Business.
Guy L. Reed of the First National
Dank of Lincoln spoke to about thir
ty members and guests of the Uni
versity Commercial Club at Music
Hall in the Temple, Thursday eve
ning. His subject was "Picking Your
Man in the Business World." Be
fore his address a short business
meeting of the club was held.
Mr. Reed's talk was personal and
to the point and the club members
listened with intense interest to the
many personal experiences related
by the speaker. He said in part:
"I do not feel discouraged when I
hsjvdle -the -meney of our people; -it is
encouraging to find out how much
money people are making and the
methods they are employing to make
it. All you need is a thorough busi
ness training to become a successful
business man. All of you who are
present tonight are far above the
average in intellectuality, and educa
tion. The average business man of
today lacks these advantages.
Against Speculation.
"Is there greater opportunity in
the future for making money than
there has been in the past? Decided-

BRING IN THOSE SNAP
SHOTS
Why in the world don't you
bring in some snapshots for the
Cornhusker? Have we not asked,
yea, begged and implored you to
do so? And have you responded
to our touching appeals? Nay,
you have not, at least not to any
overwhelming extent.
We would like awfully well to
have some of those snaps you
girls took after the Girls' Corn
husker party, and those you fel
lows took while you were hero
izing in the S. A. T. C, and
those you all took at the games
last fall. And what became of
those you took of your Fresh
men during probation, and those
you took the afternoon you went
for a long ride, and those you
took Sunday afternoon at the
house? To tell you the truth,
any you have taken will be
thrice welcome.
We have offered you Martha
Washington chocolates, and a
Junior Prom ticket. Are these
not tempting enough? We will
give you anything up to half of
our kingdoms, for a good,-live
bunch of snaps. Bring 'em in!
Without such pictures, a student
life section is not truly that at
all. We would hate to be dis
agreeable, but if you do not hus
tle around and bring us some be
fore Saturday noon, we will fare
forth ourselves and take some
you when when you least expect
or desire it. and "all the king's
horses, and all the king's men"
will not prevent us from printing
them. "A word to the wise
(should be sufficient"

interest in flying has rapidly devel
oped among students who have been

ARMY SERGEANT ADDED
TO COMMANDANT'S STAFF
The military department is rejoic
ing over the arrival of Sergeants
Lewis and Johnson from the 49th In
fantry and Sergeant Garside of the
20th Infantry, who have been selected
by the War Department to assist Com
mandant Morrison and staff officers.
These men have been in the service
for many months and their army ex
perience will add materially to ef
ficiency of the R. O. T. C. unit. The
acquisition of these non-commissioned
officers to the staff is welcomed by all
the members of the unit.
of the Lincoln Aero Club. A new
stimulus has been added to the club
from the fact that the government is
seriously considering Lincoln, on ac
count of its geographical location, for
the Great Central Air Station. The
surrounding level plains and great
stretches of flying fields are readily
adaptable to the government's needs
for the heavy mail and passenger air
planes. Other Nebraska cities which
have heretofore been under considera
tion are surrounded by high bluffs and
hills, which cause bad air pockets and
make it impossible for the heavier
type of machines to be operated in and
out of; to say nothing of the fact that
these cities have no suitable sites for
airdromes. Considerable objections to
these bluffs and air pocket conditions
have been raised by the air mail pilots
at Washington, who are contemplating
the initial trips with aero mail planes
over the new western aerial mall
route which it is expected will be in
augurated this spring.

ENTER OMAHA TOURKEY
Troendly, Pucelik, Munn and
Wertz Will Grapple at State
Amateur Meet.
The state amateur Y. M. C. A.
wrestling tournament in Omaha to
morrow night will find four Cornhusk
er wrestlers contending for honors.
Troendly, who won the lightweight
championship last year, will make a
strong bid for the 135-lb. title. Pucelik
and Monte Munn will both go in the
heavies, while Wertz will grapple
with the 145-pounders.
These men have been working under
the tutelage of Dr. R. G. Clapp during
the year and are ready to meet any
thing in their class. Dr. Clapp has
been the Cornhusker wrestling coach
this season and under his guidance a
formidable squad has been developed.
He has been elected by the National
Intercollegiate Athletic Association to
serve on th basketball and wrestling
rules committee for the coming year.
Pucelik is expected to bring some
championship meat back from the
Omaha contest. This is his first year
at the university, but for the last few
years he has been working out with
Joe Stecher and will be one of the
king rin? on the next season's varsity
wrestling aggregation.
The Impounders at Omaha will find
Werti a bard man to down. He also
is a freshman and will efficiently pin
the vacancy in the Husker squad left
by the parsing of Ruddy Fuchs.
