TEAM TO MEET AMES
Ccrahusker Track Team in Crip
pled Condition to Meet Ag
gies From Iowa.
The outlook for the Nebraska track
team for the Ames dual indoor meet
is extremely discouraging, due to the
niim'rous handicaps which have- con
fronted Coach Sciiulte in his strenu
ous efforts to round the Husker team
into shape for this meet
Four Nebraska track letter men
are ineligible at the present, one is
on the sick list, and five of the main
stays of last year's team have grad
c.Ud. Bad weather, poor facilities,
and failure of men to report are also
assigned as reasons for the weak con
dition of, the Cornhusker track team.
"Of the Husker team whfch cap
tured the valley track championship
last year, eight points are ineligible,"
says Coach Schu3te, "and twnty-one
Points have graduated, leaving eight
points cf last year's championship
team eligible," he added. Coach
Schulte declares that the present sit

countered in his fifteen years of
coaching.

NFB2ASKA MAN GEOGRAPHY
PROFESSOR IN MINNESOTA
vr R J. Scarborough, A. M., Uni
versity of Nebraska, is professor of
geography at the state teachers col
lege at Menonia, Minn. mr. ocr-
borough has recently done some rery
ommnHable work In developing the
course of studying In geography in
The Washington Conference
And The Russian Far East
The fareast has been drawing ior
the last decade more and more of the
attention of the great powers. The
state of affairs in China, Korea and
the Russian far east has bacame a
source of continuous uneasiness for
the United States owing to the mani
fested aggressiveness o Japanese
policy.
Dominated by militarists and im
perialists who have wonderfully
mastered the science of concetaling
the most infamous deeds behind fine
and innocent language, Japan is pre
cipitating a new world war thia time
in the Pacific,
Japan has always been champion
ing and fighting for high principles
such as "independences" and the
"rights" of other nations; so Japan
fought the Czarist government for the
"independence" of Korea and becaube
of the infringement by Czarist Rus
sia of Chinese rights in Manchuria.
Now Japan is championing the "in
dependence" of China and the Rus
sian far east.
As the result of these
Korea has been annexed by Japan
and is now Japanese territory, South
Manchuria is practically Japanese,
North Manchuria is becoming so very
rapidly, Chantung in China Is being
Japanized, Saghalion and a part of
the Russian mainland, (Nikolaevsk,
De-Kastri, Mareensk, Sofeesk) have
Japanese military and civil admini
strations, the local Russian authori
ties of the far eastern repub'V hav
ing been forced out, the population
deprived of many of their property
rights, Russian names of streets
changed into Japanese and the Rus
sians transformed into foreigners on
their own soil. The maritime pro
vince around Vladivostok is bc'ng oc
cupied by the Japanese who are con
tinually proclaiming the high prin
ciple of non-interference with the in
ternal affairs of the far eastern re
public. In practice this principle is
being carried out by the murder of
thousands of men, women arii .niid
ren, the burning cf private and pub
lic property worth many millions of
dollars; the overthrowing of local
authorities who, defending the lights
of their people, refuse to be controlled
by the Japanese; and the planting of
so-called "Russian" governments,
Ike the bandit government, of Seme
nov and the criminal government of
Merkulov, which being mere tools of
the Japanese give them everything
they ask against the interests of the
Russian people.
The most important parts of the
far eastern republic which stretches
east of Lake Baikal to the- Pacific
are occupied by the Japanese who
undor various pretexes refuse to eva
cuate the territory. Vladivostok, the
terminal of the great Trans Siberian
railroad, and Nikolaevsk and De-Kastri,
the gateways to the Pacl'ic all
TO FROM ENGINEERS
Chemistry Instructor Tells of
Work of a Chemical Con
sulting Engineer.
Dr. Demming, of the department of
chemistry, addressed the freshmen
engineering claps last Monday even
ing, on "The Work of a Chemical Con
sulting Engineer.'
Lantern slides were shown during
the first part of the lecture, consist
ing of views of industrial chemical
plants, where chlorine, ammonia, etc.,
are manufactured.
Dr. Demming has had considerable
experience as a consulting engineer
and told about some of his experi
ences in order to illustrate their
duties. A manufacturer of sUvcf
pencils had difficulty in electro-plating
the sleel points that held the
lead in the pencils. On investigating
he found that the workmen were not
cleaning the points well enough, as
soon as this was remedied they could
be plated with ease. This was not a
chemical problem ana could have
been solved by the manufacturer.
Another case was where a flower
not was sent in with a peculiar wood
like covering on it, the manufacturer
wanted to know what this substance
was. Having no chemical test for
wood. Dr. Demming had to grind up
some of the material and examine it
under the microscope, the material
proved to be a mixture of paper, clay
and carborunduD .
(Continue! ca page 4.)
these are held by the Japanese, cut
ting off the far eastern republic and
Siberia as a whole, from the outside
world. This is at the same time an
advantageous position from which to
threaten the republic any time they
want the republic to submit to any of
their demands.
The Japanese are telling the out
side world that they are willing to
excavuate the Russian territory as
soon as the lives and property of
their citizens are secure there. But
if this were the case, there would be
no necessity for the Japanese and
representatives of the far eastern re
public to negotiate at the Dairen con
ference for over four months without
ference for over four months without
any results. The truth is that the
Japanese are forcing the government
of the far eastern republic to agree
to Japanese control in the far east,
concealed under "innocent" phr: se
ology. The government of the far eastern
republic which is a real popular gov
ernment, having been elected by a
national constituent assembly, elected
in its turn by over 80 per cent of
the population, cannot accede to such
demands without betraying its own
people and consciously enslaving the
country.
The Japanese organize the scum of
the country and arm and pay them
in order to keep the country in stn.'e
and dismemberment. To the outside
world they say that the Russian far
east cannot be evacuated as it is not
a safe place for the Japanese citi
zens to live in.
Naturajly the IRuss!ian people of
the far east cannot submit to slavery,
and unless the Japanese evacuate
their territory the Russian far east
will always be a menace to peace.
It is up to the great powers at the
Washington conference to see that the
Japanese adhere to the declarations
of the allies and to their own.
Unfortunately the people of the
far eastern republic are not repre
sented at the conference and are un
able to defend their cause. Ail the
powers, especially the United States
which officially invited the Japanese
to take part in the intervention of
1918, assumed a grave tesponsibility
for the future of the new republic
and its people.
It must be clearly understood that
no peace can be had in the far east
and in the Pacific unless all causes
for dissatisfaction are removed; if
the conference fails In tnis then there
is no use discussing disarmament or
limitation of armaments.
The people of the Rissian far east
are weary of the strife caused by
the Japanese intervention and occn
pation; they want peace above all,
and it depends on the derisions
adopted by the Washington confei
ence whether or not they will pet it.

FRESHMEN HEAR TALK
OF FINANCIAL
Prcfessor Virtue Delivers Inter
esting Address to Freshman
Lecture Group.
The enormity of the financial
crisis confronting the worli was
stressed by Professor George E. Vir
tue in his addresses to the freshmen
Monday afternoon and Tuesday morn
ing on the, "Crisis in Public Fiuance."
Professor Virtue first explained that
economics in its original sense meant
the problem of public finance but
through evolution it has come to be
applied to private finance in its more
ceneral use. lie analyzed the differ
ent methods by which a government
can raise money, showed what the
chief problems in government,. I fi
nance are today, and suggested sev
eral possible solutions.
Many wars and revolutions oi his
tory have br't-n caused by ruonnrchs
overtaxing ineir penpie ii .n;niuB
them a voice in their taxation The
speaker said that the French revolu
tion and the American revolution
were both largely brought about by
taxation troubles. One of the chief
demands of the magna churl a was
that Hie king refrain from taxing the
people without their consent.
The principle methods of a govern
ment raising funds are: 1 i. going
into some line of industrial or conv
mercial activity. 2 By revenues
from public lands, forest reserves,
and other public proporty. S By
taxation or forced contributions 'rom
the people. This is by far the mcst
ceneral methefrl. 4 By foreign or do
mestic loans. The money must tvent
ually be paid back from funds raised
by taxation.
The greatest expense of most na
tions is their military budget When
ever a war broke out It is a question
whether It should be financed by iter
ation or by loans. In the recent war
Britain adopted a policy cf high tax
ation while France and Germany fi
nanced their operations by loans. Tha
political party in power always h.tes
to go before the country with a pol
icy of high taxation and consequently
really legitimate needs are often de
nied. Professor Virtue sighted the
bonus ball as an example of this.
For the good of the soldiers It should
be passed bnt few politicians bars
