Distinguished Professor Declares That
the Orientals Will Not Hesitate
to Seize the Philippines.
Dr. F. M. Fling spoke in a very In
teresting manner on "A World Crisis"
at Convocation yesterday morning.
He urged students to get a more
comprehensive view of life and not
to consider a college education as a
Btrugglo merely for a diploma.
Studies here are only means toward
ends. We Bhould know what tho
world Is like, what the problems are,
and what the future may have In
store.
Today wo are In the midst of a
world crisis and are passing thru one
of the most complex. It is one of tho
most comprehensive criBes because It
nnnnnmB tho most neonle. In the
Greek world six or seven million peo
ple wore effected, but today a billion
and a half are effected. A crisis in
the past effected Juat one side, re
ligious or political, but today it ef
fects every sfdo. There Is a world
wide struggle between labor and capi
tal, between old despotisms and new
democracies. Tho religious world
crlBls Is similar to that of two thou
sand years ago. There Is a growth of
brotherhood, but underneath Is one
common spirit showing that a world
religion is growing up.
Dr. Fling spoke especially of tho
formation of a world-state from a
political side. Starting around tho
Aegean Soa, spreading ' around tho
Mediterranean and thru Europe, the
great mass of people of tho globe form
tho largest part of tho world society.
Homo broke up and took in Europe,
and tho whole area expanded and grew
larger. Tho world 1b smaller today
than that of tho Mediterranean basin
. because It Is closer together and
bound thus by railroads, tho printing
prqps and the telegraph.
As the organization of tho whlto
raco grow more perfect; as tho world
became more unified and a world state
8eeihed a possibility, tho Russo-Japanese
war broke out. This was of
supremo Importance and will probably
' bo regarded In tho future as one of
the world's greatest wars. The hordes
of Asiatics, by the results of this war,
wore aroused. Already the cry of
"Asia for Asiatics" is arising.
The white raco now controls Eu
rope, North an,d South America and
Africa. As tho crowded Asiatic coun
tries awaken it is inevitable that they
will push out into surrounding coun
triesinto India, into the Philippines,
and into the Hawaiian Islands. The
only way to be safe la to bo prepared
for war. In recognition of the changed
conditions a fleet will have to be kept
on our Pacific coast; we must be pre
pared to defend possessions.
At the present time the yellow raco
and tho white race are about evenly

IOWA ATHLETICS.
A Good Revenue Furnished by the
Different Sports.
Tho financial statement of Coach
Marc Catlln of tho State Unlvorslty
of Iowa, shows that tho season of
1906-7 waB tho most prosperous from
a financial standpoint of any year in
the history of the athlotic association.
Tho football team made In tho neigh
borhood of $5,000, tho baseball team
lost $300 on the season, tho track team
lost $292, basket-ball earned $35 and
tennis lost $50.
Tho results of tho Beason made It
possible to pay off all of tho existing
obligations, leaving a balance on hand
of $2,405. It is not expected that the
present season will be nearly as suc
cessful from the financial standpoint
It is interesting to note that tho gross
receipts of tho Iowa-Ames "game were
$15,346.20, of which each team received
half, while the gross receipts of the
Iowa-St. Louis University game were
$A,275, of which sum Iowa received
one-half.

lbtry department, has accepted an
offer of a position in tho University

PU8HBALL CONTE8T.
May Supersede Annual "Rushes" at
Iowa.
Next Saturday will mark tho estab
lishment of a new custom at tho
State Unlvorslty of Iowa, and one
which It Is believed will supersede tho
old class scraps of former years. In
place of tho regulation fight for tho
possession of Bomo covetod vantage
point or emblem, tho members of the
freshman and sophomore classes will
engage in a game of pushball on the
Iowa field, under rules and regulations
laid down by a faculty committee. It
la planned now to have tho contest
Judged by Bomo regular army ofllcor,
probably from Fort Dos Moines.
Pushball is a comparatively now
sport In Iowa, tho mammoth spheroid
now on exhibition at tho university
armory probably being tho first to bo
brought Into tho state. Tho gamo Is
played on a regular football gridiron
with a ball seven feet In dlamotor, In
flated In tho same way that a football
la Inflated, and covered with cowhldo.
As many men can play on a side as
desire to, the object being to push the
ball over the goal lino of tho opposing
team.
