"Excessive social lite, excessive frivolity and oxcosslvo student activ ities have no place in war times, for an extravagant dinner may moan a soldier hungry In Franco!" Urging the patriotic necessity of eliminating all unnecessary clogs from scholastic progress this yoar, Chancel lor Samuel Avory of tho University of Nebraska, In his annual convocatlonal address, dellvored to tho student body said: "It does not seem an unreasonable request that while your comrades aro in tho miro of tho tronchos, you may well cut out half of your social ex pense and glvo tho balance to tho work of tho Ited Cross and Y.

"No one would llko to think that the money foolishly squandered on a prom or a party dross might, if di rected In tho right channel have suvod tho Hfo of a Nobraskan lighting for poaco and security of tho world. "In my Judgment," ho continued, "tho way to bring about peace is to convince tho imperial German govern mont that wo intend to fight to tho -last man and the last dollar; that thero is no limit to our courage, our resolution and our devotion. And one of tho ways to do this is to stop tho clamor for side-stepping the war and concluding an inglorious peace." Of Germany, ho said: "Wo aro fac ing a combination of rugged honesty in tho people and rank deceit in of ficial circles. We aro facing a para dox in tho Gorman people, tho most gonorally intelligent and at the samo time tho most systematically deceived of any peoplo that tho sun has over shono upon." Motion Picture Work a New Course. Photography and motion picture work is a now courso open to students of tho University of Nebraska. Its ob ject is to prepare men for motion pic ture taking, especially from aero planes, and it will bo carried on in the department of geography and conser ration, a department closely connect ed with tho stato conservation com mission, both of which aro headed by Dr. Q. E. Condra. Tho state has tho best equipment in tho west for tho Bervlce and all of It is hold at tho uni versity.

Onu-rourth of tho total nmount of coal needed in tho stato during tho noxt twelve months is already on hand, according to tho information coal dealers havo fur nished the .council. Omaha and Lin coln aro particularly well provided for, although exact figures havo not been given out by tho council. Un officially, It is said that in both cities thoro is a sufficient nmount of 'coal in the yards of the dealers to look aftor tho ontlro noeds for half of tho wlntor. Probably 10 per cent moro of tho total amount needed has al ready been contracted for and shortly will be shipped. This is believed by tho council to preclude any possibility of a coal famine during tho wlntor in either city.

BV ".. J . A Yrl.t.t. iL. n & By CAPT. ROLAND F. ANDREWS (Copyright, 'sn.brMcOlnre .WVVa raiW On September 20, 1702, France first assumed the title of a republic. On tho same day her raw Carmagnole levies fought and won the battle of Vnlmy, a bnttlo which proved to tho doubters of whom Franco herself was one thnt the republican spirit possessed mettle; thnt France could not only declare her self a republic, but could defend nnd mnlntnln herself as n republic. Vnlmy, declares Creasy, set tho kings of Eu rope trembling after 18 centuries of security. Vnlmy, wrote Goethe, who wntcheil the battle, "commences a new era In tho world's history." Vnlmy de creed there should bo thnt republican Franco which fights the bnttlo oL free dom today. Vnlmy was fought In the same re gion which has seen some of the blood iest encounters of the presen. wnr. It took place in the nmrshy country of the Alsne nnd the Aube, with the for est of Argonno, then much heavier and greater In extent thnn It Is now, as a prominent strategic feature. Its victor was Kellermnn, father of the Kellermnn whose brilliant cavalry charge afterward decided the battle of Marengo. Under Napoleon tho elder Kellermnn nwimed the title of duke of Vnlmy. When he died ho desired thnt his heart should bo burled upon the battlefield where he hnd won his fame. Tho- nrmy which enmo against the crude French republican volunteers In cluded not only G0.000 Prussians nnd 15.000 Austrian, but no less thnn 15,- 000 French emigres of the old royalist days, most of them of noble birth, all of them skilled In nrms and represent ing the flower of the commissioned personnel of the old and formidable French nrmy. In chief command was the duke of Brunswick, second only In mllltnry skill to the Grout Frederick, as whose lieutenant he had served. Heading the emigres was Conde. Against these Dumourlez, tho sixty-year-old veteran who held the chief French command, could oppose only a total of somo 50,000 men badly or ganized nnd disciplined, for tho most part worse officered and shockingly lacking in equipment and supplies. Eight bnttallons were so mutinous thnt Dumourlez, under pretense of reviewing them, posted them with n strong force of cavalry In their rear and cannon on their flanks, after which ho informed them thnt they were not worthy to be called either soldiers or citizens. They would do well, ho further Informed them, to do their duty, or the cavalry and tho guns would do dnty to them. 1 The Invaders advanced in what ,they believed would be only a march 'of Joy and triumph to Paris In three columns. In the earlier engage ments tho French fled llko sheep. On one occasion they fled without fir ing a shot On another a division of 10,000 scurried back before tho scat tering flro of a few Austrian skirmish ers. To make matters worse, French underestimate of the enemy's sagacity left weakly defended an Important pass which an Austrian corps, under Clarlfayt, promptly forced after somo sharp fighting. Misfortune nnd tho necessity of covering an extended front rather than faulty generalship caused tho separation of Dumourlez nnd Keller mnn who was trying to Join him by a wheeling movement from Metz nnd gavo opportunity for the Invading force to attempt tho overwhelming of the latter ns ho stood Isolated on tho plateau of Valmy, at a dangerous interval from his chief. Tho young king of Prussia, who was with Brunswick's forces, Joined with tho emigre French princes In urging an immediate attack. Accordingly tho right wing of tho invading nrmy moved forward early in the morning to turn Kellerraan's left flank nnd cut him off from retreat to Chalons. Dumourlez, an alert nnd spry citi zen In spite of his years, ordered up troops to support Kcllcrman, but theso troops were Blow in Btartlng. Tho samo sort of fog which embar rassed tho opposing forces of tho present war when they clashed on the same ground hung over the bat tlefield. It was ten o'clock when tho tatterdemalion French nrmy per ceived emerging from tho white mists tho countless Prussian cav alry and the bristling columns of In fantry now closo upon them. The French, remembering tho running they hud found It advlsnblo to do In tho preliminary skirmishing, wero nervous, nnd showed It. However, Kel lermnn nnd the youthful Due do Chnr tres, a youngster of twenty who served ns n general under him, steadied their men so successfully thut they endured splendidly tho'pouudlng of tho Prus sian artillery which opened on them from La Lunc. Tho French guns re . plled-.wlth .spirit, -after which Keller man, believing tho enemy tiro slacken ing, headed a charge. This was nearly tho undoing of the French for tho charge landed itself fairly under the pieces of a masked battery which open ed with such terrific effect that tho French broke in wild disorder, whilo Kcllcrman fc'mself went down with his horso shot under him. His men carried him off.

It was then that ICcllcrmnn, recovering pos session of his faculties, reorganized his Infantry, refused to mount n horse, placed himself on foot nt the head of his line, raised his chnpeau high on tho point of his sword, nnd cnlllng upon his men to uso tho bayonet, raised the cry of: "Vive la nntlon!" , Tho troops caught tho spirit. So great was the clamor they raised, and so resolute their appearance thut tho Prussians, hesitating nt a charge up hill against so formidable a foe. halt ed In the valley nnd then slowly re treated. The young king of Prussln was beside himself with rago. Be rating his soldiers with bitterness ho formed the Unwer of his regiments In person nnd headed them for the French line. The French artillery was ngnln firing with spirit nnd by now tho re enforcements sent by Dumourlez wero beginning to como Into piny. Tho Prussian king's staff was mowed down by his side, but still the boyish mon urch, his sword waving nbove his head, besought his men to go forward. For a time the Issue hung In tho balance, tho French artillerists working llko fiends while the Infantry, now nflre with enthusiasm, held nobly to the task and the veteran Prussian corps vainly endeavored to closo the great gaps which the cannon bnlls were rank ing in their ranks. At last they fal tered, broke and retreuted, sweeping their king back In the flood of disas ter. Night descended with the French mnster of Valmy. Brunswick lingered some time aft er In the Argonnc, but dlscnse and lack of confidence thinned his ranks. France, on the contrary, felt a giant's strength, nnd like n giant did she use It. Never again was tho decision In doubt. Tho French republic was In sured. WIFE IS MADE HIS RECEIVER Plan Adopted by a Man Who Found That He Could Not Get Along on His 8alry. Thero was n story in the American Magazine In which a unn who hasn't been able to get along on his salary Installed his wiie as temporary re ceiver. It worked wonders with him. Here Is part of tho story : " 'What you want,' said Tudd, smil ing, 'is to go Into the hands of a re ceiver a temporary receiver llko your firm did. You said they did, didn't you? How they coming out?' "'Fine!' said Brett. " That's good. And thnt's what you need to go into the' hands of a tem porary receiver. You ain't a bad busi ness, but you've got yourself all balled up. You ought to go to somebody and Bay: "Herd I'vo got my affairs all balled up and I can't seem to pull out and get my debts paid and everything cleaned up, and it is worrying mo to death, and if somebody don't do some thing I'm going to hnve a nervo smash nnd go plumb bankrupt. Here, you take mo over and see what you can do.'" "Brett drew a deep breath and looked at Tudd questioning. Tudd was a success and a kindly man. If Tudd would "'And the person to bo" your tem porary receiver,' said Tudd, 'is you wife, of course."' What One Horsepower Will Do.
