OO University students claim that the accommodation of a "Station A" poHt ofHce carries with It one disadvantage, since it debars them from a Sunday mail. Town people can obtain their mall Sundays by calling at the federal building, but Station A student mall, no matter how anxiously desired, must await Monday distribution. The students thoroughly appreciate the conveniences "Station A" affords them, and make this criticism from no mere spirit of fault finding, and in the hope that Postmaster Sizer may find some way of adding a Sunday distribution to the generous accommodations already supplied. OO If there is any such thing as a "de serving charity." the college settlement work Is surely It. Competent over sight assures the giver that his dona tion is not. contributing to the support of some shiftless or fraudulent social parasite, while generous Instruction in various useful branches seeks to pre pare the attendant upon college settle ment classes for a higher type of liv ing and at the same time to invite him thereto by practical example. This worthv cause asks but little from each of us 10c to U.rc. according to our purse and our spirit and The Nebras kan urges a liberal response to the society's present appeal for help from the University students. OO The Nebraskan would be glad to find Itself the "otllcial bulletin board" of all University meetings. At present, a great many notices have to be hunted up. at the expense of considerable time to a rather limited staff. The Ne braskan Is well read by University students; anything found in its col umns is pretty well known over the campus within an hour or two after the paper's appearance. It will be a good way to servo both yourself and nnd the paper If you will see that all Important notices passing officially through your hands are hung on The Nebraskan's news hook by four o'clock of the day before you wish them pub lished.- OO The Glee Club has just reason for complaint. The attendance at the con cert on Saturday night was a disgrace both to the University and to the city. .a i. i.ll...,,l 11. t llinra UHK nn fflCllltV member present, and fifty or seventy-'are five would Include the number of stu dents attending. Hy such patronage the University can absolutely prohibit the existence of a Rlee club. For five years the University has complained that there were no singers to be used at college functions and to give con certs, and now that a good club Is or ganized the- Bnmc-prrrph' Jeopardize f standing and efficiency by not attend ing Its concerts. The students prob ably think they can hear the club any way without paying their money and conclude therefore that there Is no use attending concerts where a matter of a few cents Is concerned. As a matter of fact, the club Is not slow In stating Its opinion of these people. It has been planned by the club to take some out side trips, but the likelihood of these concerts Is reduced by the attendance given Saturday night and the conse quent emptiness of the treasury.

Tellesen, senior president. Friday Musical program. Yesterday's Exercises: Dr. Ross spoke at convocation yester day morning on "The Outcome of t he Venezuelan Trouble." He first gave the fads of the case, which are substantial ly as follows: Last fall the government of the United States was sounded by Germany and Great Britain, with the purpose of announcing that they in tended to press Venezuela for the sums due them, which action was not in tended in any way to infringe upon the Monroe doctrine. The statement was accepted by America as substan tial and true. The action the united powers intended to take was a con sequence of the loss of property and civil rights from revolutionary and government troops. Germany had a special grievance because Venezuela failed to pay the amount due from the building of a railroad. England based her claims upon the removal of the English from the island of Trinidad, the possession of which was in dispute. In December the German and Eng lish ministers presented ultimatums and embarked. A blockade was de clared, vessels captured, and the fort shelled. The American minister, Her bert Howen, was made the envoy of Venezuela, and came to Washington with full authority to settle the ques tion. He soon found that his main difficulty lny in the fact that each coun try required preferential treatment, lnit he finally arranged matters in the fol lowing way: Venezuela was to make arrangements with each nation separ ately. , A certain sum was to be paid within thirty days from the time the blockade was declared off and thirty three per cent of the revenues was to be set aside as a special fund for the payment of the debt. A court of com missioners was to be appointed, the blockade to be raised, and the vessels seized to be returned. Dr. Ross then discussed the meaning "j of the trouble and the significance of the alliance. As soon as England perceived that an alliance had been formed with Ger many, there was a strong opposition among the people. The two countries really rivals, instead of allies, since jpAtrMmi00mni tumm New Spring Neckwear r- b stock can easily be Of benise lace, cheviot, canvas, hop sacking, and all the stylish open weaves, most of them mercerized 15 new designs in all.

She is the real ally because her interests are not hostile to those of England. This idea has been endangered by the blun der of the English statesmen, because Germany and America are slightly at variance, but as matters were carried only so far. the friendship has really not been imperiled. Germany is earth-hungry, and hates the principles of the Monroe doctrine. South America is the only foothold left for her, and for that she has been striving. One result has been to in crease the American distrust and sus picion of Germany, and another will be the necessity of Increasing our navy in order to be able to protect the doc trine.
