PROFESSOR FOGG
TELLS OF FRANCE
Took Pieties of Battlefields in
T France Where Nebraska
Boys Fought.
LAST CALL IS SOUNDED.
profeBBor M. M. Fork gave an ad
dress at convocation Tuesday illus
trated wh views of the battlefields
vhere Nebraska boys fought and died.
The pictures were those taken by Pro
fessor Fogg when he made a four
days' trip with General Pershing over
the war torn regions of France.
.The world went crazy so we had
to couie over here and do this," were
the words that a soldier greeted Pro
fcwor Fogg with at Brest. The pio
turt.,. that were shown clearly illus
trated what the soldier meant when
be n;iid. "do this," for vast regions
ere shown in devastated conditions
and great cathedrals in ruins, and
then the simple graves where the he
roes were laid.
pictures' were, also shown of Gener
al Pershing's office and some of the
A. B. F. university. Others varied in
nature and scope from lovely French
roads lined with beautiful treeti. up
which the Huns wished to force a way
to Paris, to the grim specters of ceme
treles laid out with symmetrical preci
sion where the soldiers underwent
their last dress parade, but umong the
most interesting were those of the
woods where some of the most severe
battles of the war were fought.
Professor Fogg paid special respect
to three Nebraska men Baatz of
Western, MeBul of Emerson and Was
singer of Mlnden whose graves he
found while on his tour.
He then proceeded in chronological
order to follow the great events o' the
war. The address contained much
valuable historical information. Count
less figures of dates, wounded and
other statistics were at the speaker's
command.
His presentation of the straits into
which France hud fallen when Amer
ica Jumped in was effective. The Ger
man watch tower from which a Ger
man official watched by means of a
periscope in the cellar, thlrt; feet
long, and the picture of Prince Hu
precht's under ground home In the
Meuse-Argoune forest gave touches
of German psychology of thinking.
The lt dugout was four stories
deep with a passage half a mile
long to the front and another
of similar length to serve as a get
away at the rear.
Professor Fogg showed how the 11.
000 dead an,i the 100,000 wounded
Americans at the battle of the Meuse
Argonne were taken care of. Trains
equipped to carry 360 wounded had

ALUMNI ACTIVE IN
BOOMING PERSHING
FOR NEXT PRESIDENT
Will the 1'niversity of Nebraska see
it's son General John J. Pershing,
chief of the nation? Can Pershlnc.
Nebraska's own product and the bene
ficiary of Nebraska's educational In
stitutions, land the Republican nom
ination for president of the United
States and so win his way to the
nation's chief executive office?
These are questions that are com
manding the earnest attention of
chiefs In all the political camps of
the country and ones that will create
no little amount of turmoil before a
final disposition of them can be made.
That Pershing will make a mighty
bid for recognition In Republican
piesldential circles is to be conceded.
There can be no doubting that the
announcement from Lincoln Nebraska
headquarters stating that General
Pershing will be drafted for the presl
dentnal nominations is a foreboding
is bound to be taken seriously enough
by other candidates, announced and
prospective, bidding for the Republi
can endorsement for the presidential
elections.
' Woods Head Campaign
The Pershing boom launched less
than three weeks ago bv local friends
and actively directed by Mark W.
Woods of Lincoln, has already as
sumed very promising proportions for
those concerned In his candidacy. It
is interesting to the university stud
ent body to observe that among the
chief Pershlng-forPresldent propon
ents are alumni of the University of
Nebraska.
Immediately upon the announce
ment made by Mark W. Woods that
his friends would conduct a campaign
to draft the Nebraska hero for the
republican nomination, alumni asso
ciates In Lincoln and Lancaster coun
ty announced their support of the
movement and organized a campaign
committee which is taking a very
active part in promoting the Pershing-
for-Presldent program.
Executive Committee Appointed
Mr. Frank I) Kager of Lincoln,
president of the Lincoln association,
is active in conducting this program.
The association likewise appointed an
executive committee of which Mr.
Harvey Rathbone was made chairman,
and this committee has launched a
ver- formidable drive proposing Gen
eral Pershing for the presidency.
Mr. Eager former his first acquaint
ance of the general during the time
the latter was commandant of the
university army post, and was a sar
geant in the crack drill squad here
that was coached by the general, and
which won the prize at the national
drill contest held at Omaha In 1893.
Many Pledge Support
Word from local alumni headquart
ers to alumni associations throughout
the United States telling of the Per-
sbing-for-Presldent movement has
been taken up enthusiastically, and
reports are being received daily from
associations in the various sections
pledging earnest support to the move.
Telegrams and letters from gradu
ates who came Into Pershing's ac
quaintance and association during
his stay at the university betray the
o ..mieB of his character as his
trlends came to know him. Pershing
or.Hi.-tPd from the law college in
1S93 while commanding the university
cadets and was thus brought Into
rloser contact with the student bony
than he otherwise might have been,
and he stands In relation to the gradu
ates of this university as a fellow
alumnus, while those who attended
the university In his day speak of him
now as a class-mate and friends. In
stead of merely a commander of the
army organization here.

STUDENT VOLUNTEER
DELEGATES REPORT
AT VESPERS TUESDAY
Delegates who attended the Student
Volunteer Convention at Des Mo'nes
gave brief reports to a large ani at
tentive audience at Vespers Tuesday.
This program was announced as a
mere Introduction to the rally lo be
held in the Temple Theatree 7 o'clock
Wednesday evening when botli men
and women will speak.
Miss Alice Allen was the leader at
vespers. She and four other delegates
spoke.
Miss Ruth Sheldon spoke of the var
ious steps in the one great motive in
life, service. She emphasized the val
ue of sacrifice and said that service
cannot be complete unless it is conse
crated. "Russia needs America," was the
theme of Miss Mary Sheldon's talk in
which she told of the many ways In
which Russia is turning to America
idealized.
The various colleges and universi
ties represented were giving their own
yells, for a time the Chinese re
mained silent. Then they burst out
with the locomotive for Nebraska.
The relation of this incident pre
faced Miss Allen's report of the
Chinese at the convention. She said
that the Chinese speakers empha
sized the need of Christianity in the
place of Confuscianism, Buddhism
and Tauism.
Miss Ruth Hutton said that Sher
wood Eddy gave these question as
the test of Christianity. "Are you
pure?" "Are you surrendered?" "Are
you going to lead the sacrificial life
of love?"
Miss Olive Hartley gave statistics
showing the need of foreign mission
aries, especially with medical train
ing. The convention was attended by
foreign delegates from Mexico, Cuba,
Porta Rico, Costa Rico, Salvador, Ven
ezuela. Columbia. Brazil, Uraguay,
Argentina, Chili, Peru, England, Scot
land, Prance, Holland. Switzerland,
Spain. Portugal, Italy, Scandinavia,
Poland, Czech Slovakia, Greece, Bul
garia, Roumania, Russia, Japan,
Korea, Siberia, China, The Philip
pines. India. Ceylon, America. Syria,
Africa and Australia.
FAMOUS "Y" QUARTET
SINGS AT CONVENTION
The now famous International Asso
ciation Quartet that has gone around
the world, tendered numbers at the
Eighth International Student Volun
teer Convention which closed Sunday
at Des Moines, Iowa. The clear and
harmonious voices of the four men
were heard distinctively in all parts of
the great Colliseum where the meet
ings were held. Many students were
touched and inspired almost as much
by their music as by the speakers.
Two of the original members of the
quartet were present.
C. M. KeKeler, now religious direc
tor of the Y. M. C. A. at St. Paul and
E. W. Peck of the Minneapolis "Y" are
still the baritone and bass of the or
ganization.
Two new recruits are Rev. P. J.
Gilbert, first tenor, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church at Monticello,
III., who joined the quartet in 1897:
and Rev. P. H. Metealf, pastor of the
First Congregational church at Madi
son. Ohio, formerly of Des Moines,
who became second tenor of the
quartet In 1896.
The quartet has sung at every
student Volunteer convention since
1S98, has toured the world In the in
terests of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, and has sung at
practically every convention of mod
ern religious movements.
Rev. Gilbert is a graduate of De
Pauw University, Ind., -and is at pres
ent religious director of the Elgin Y.
I. C. A
Metcalfe is a graduate of Oberlin
College and was for two years a mem
ber of the famous Moody quartet.
C. M. Keeler was for a number of
years the head of a large printing
establishment. He Is now religious
director of the Y. M. C. A. at St. Paul.
Peck was at one time superintend
ent of the Des Moines schools, then
became general secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., and after holding that position
for twelve years became state secre
tary of Minnesota "Y" work.'
Tue man who has been regretting
that the war ended before he could
get in should take courage; the
struggle for social Justice, civic righ
teousness, and world prohlblton
offers a challenge to every red-blooded
man who has conscience, a heart.
and a brain, as well as red b'ood.

NEBRASKA STOCK
PLEASES THE SOUTH
Texans who recently purchased pure
bred hogs in Nebraska are so well
pleased they may be back for more
this month, according to word received
from the south by the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture. Four carloads of
hogs were sent south from this state
In December. The southern delega
tion of farmers, stock raisers and col
lege professors which purchased the
hogs expressed surprise at the farm
ing and stock raising opportunities
here and asked why Nebraska was not
better advertised. The College of Ag
riculture is attempting to open up
markets In other states for Nebraska
pure bred stock. Texas is so well
pleased that it is expected other south
ern states will soon be added to the
list.

SEASON TICKETS
MUST GO FASTER
Committee Urjres StnrWc
Support Team for Heaviest
of all Schedules.
GOAL 13 ONE THOUSAND.
The sale of basketball season ticK
cts started off yesterday with a boom
but the amount sold is ki far BD0 t
of the desired goal. According to the
athletic department, at least one
thousand season tickets must be sold,
if the, season i8 to be a financial suc
cess. While the exact number already
sold is not known, the officials in
charge have indicated that the number
of sales must make a decided advance
during the remainder of the week if
the campaign succeeds.
The W. A. A. girls And the Vikings
have charge of the sales on the cam
pus e.nd are making every effort to
reach the entire student body. With
four thousand students attending the
university, it should be a matter of
comparative ease to dispose of at least
one thousand tickets. This would b
'. record of only twenty-five per cent
loyalty. The entire thousand tickets
ould have been sold In one day.
Cornhusker students seemingly do not
realize the necessity of financial back
ing to the sucress of the basketball
season.
Greatest Schedule Ever
More than ever before is it now nec
essary to establish a record sale of
tickets. The athletic department id at
tempting something entirely strange
to the University of Nebraska in the
way of a basketball schedule. The
best teams of the country will be
seen in action on the local floor. The
Nebraska team will be one of the
greatest that has ever worn the
Scarlet and Cream. This new sched
ule naturally brings about an enor
mous increase in financially. The eath
letic department has estimated the
cost of the 1920 season at $4000. It
is Btated that if one thousand seison
tickets at three dollars each are sold,
the season will pay out.
Only three dollars for twelve bas
ketball games of the highest class!
Cornhusker basketball fans will be
given the privilege of seeing twelve
exhibitions of the best basketball In
the country at the small cost of only
twenty-five cents per game. It is the
duty of every loyal Nebraskan to
make every effort to help the team to
a successful season. By buying a sea
son ticket and thus helping to reach
the goal of one thousand, eaeh stud
ent can do his share.
PICTURES MUST BE
TAKEN THIS MONTH
Individual and Organization
Photographs Should be in
Before January 31.
Final summons for students and or
ganizations to have pictures taken for
the 1920 Cornhusker were sounded by
the editor Tuesday. The last date
for pictures to be accepted is set as
January 31st. Townsend's studio is
ready to take pictures of individuals
and groups at any time now.
Probably one-fourth of the individ
ual pictures have not yet been taken
and the Cornhusker management is
desirous of having photographs of all
Juniors and seniors appear in the an
nual book this year.
Arrangements have just been com
pleted for a twenty or twenty-five
page section devoted entirely to the
medical college in Omaha. Dean Irv
ing Cutter, of the medical school, has
agreed to take over the responsibility
for this section and will appoint a
medical editor.
More than fifty organizations in
school have yet not had pictures tak
en for the Cornhusker, and ss many
more have not paid for their pictures.
Group pictures will not be accepted
