to transmit the commands

in the Farm competitive drill, was
inarched to tho center of the Held,
facing the brigade, and at tho com
maud of the adjutant, "Puss in re

dance there at that time
The park will not be open then and
Manager Puckstaff has assured the
committee of its exclusive use for the
evening The lack of earlier open
dates and the general inconvenience
and discomfort of an Indoor dance so
late in the ear is assigned by Chair
man Enfield, of the dance committee,
as his reason for the chango from the

indoors Refreshments will be served
in the large cafe that is connected
with the dance floor, and an adjoining
room in which private parties are gen
eralb held, will be converted into a
cloakroom for the girls and every pos
Bible feature that would go with a
downtown dance is also en jo) able
there ''
Delta Gamma sorority held a dance
at the park last spring and several
fraternities and sororities are trying
to arrange dates for dances there this
year. '
TURNED OFFJHE LIGHTS
UNKNOWN MISCREANTS BROKE
UP STUDY IN THE LAW
LIBRARY.
While tho law students, or a largo
part of them, were busily at work in
tho law library luBt night, some un
known and ni)steriouB persons gave
three war whoops and turned out the
lightB in the library
Immediately all the lawB present
started in pursuit of Uiobo who did
the act, but before anyone could ar
rive on the scene the miscreants were
gone.
The next thing was to get the lights
on in the library in order that the laws
could get back to their dutleB How
ever, tho switch could not bo found,
though it was searched for all over
the building In view of tho fact that
only one table was lighted, many of
tho Iuwb went home.
Several members of the class In
engineering economics, including Mar
tin, Hohwor, Pearso, Kipllnger and
Leonard, will go to Fremont, Friday,
to make an appraisal of the city water
works They will probably return
Sunday.
PICNICS THE RAGE NOW
PEN WOODS AND OTHER FAVOR
ITE SPOTS THRONGED WITH
OUTDOOR PARTIES.
Picnicking has been all tho rugo tho
last few days of spring weather Par
ties varjlng from two to twenty in
number range Lincoln Park, the Penl
tontiurj woods and all the other fa
vorite spots about Lincoln every after
noon, indeed not alwajs stopping
with tho afternoon Cainpllres aie
seen here and there over the woodB
each evening, and often the delicious
odor of burnt frankfurters and
scotched coffee rend the air with their
fragrance. Salt creek la photographed
man) timcB a day now as "the river
flowing past the place we picnicked
at," and the ice cream cone man as
"the man who brought us our provi
sions " Indeed, so much has this
craze increased tho camera fever that
all the photo developers in town are
far overworked
A particularly novel stunt was
pulled off WedneBday when at ono of
tho eighteen parties at tho Pen woods
a fine sirloin steak wub broiled over a
campflre oji a piece of chicken netting
If thlB method becomes popular the
fences about the w-oods are in Bad
danger.

CHINA'S REVOLUTION
GREATEST IN HISTORY
BISHOP BA8HFORD TELL8 OF
GIANT STRUGGLE IN ORIENT.
SHADOWS LOOM ACRISS FUTURE
Churchman Fears Effect of Sudden
Transition Upon a People So
Little Advanced.
"Tho greatest revolution of tho
greatest empire in tho history of tho
world," is the wu) in which HiBhop
A W Pashford In IiIb talk at convo
cation yeBterday characterized tho
struggle which Ib now shaking China
to tho foundation
"China" ho said, "Ib attempting to
leap, in a Bingle bound, the chaBin
which separates her from tho high
civilization and democracy of tho
weBt. Sho totters on tho brink, but
the conservatives can no more push
back the struggle than they could hold
tho tides, or delay the coming of tho
dawn, for Almighty (iod is back of tho
awakening "
Describes Conditions There.
In regard to what China will do
when she Is once awake, the bishop
Baid, "I can Bee dark lines The gen
eral ignorance, tho almoBt universal
corruption of public officials, the law
lessness so prevalent there, the Jeal
ousies of clan agaiiiBt clan, and north
against Bouth, the evil effects of tho
social institutions of slavery and
polygamy, and the pagan religion
what tho effect of all these forces will
bo when the people find themselves
really free, no one can tell; we can
hardly expect the change could bo ac
complished entirely by peaceful meth
ods." In Bplte of tho magnitude of tho
change, however. Bishop Pashford
thinks it will be accomplished with
comparatively far Icbb bloodshed than
has accompanied most revolutions, be
cause the people have been promised
a liberal constitution by 1914 and
there is oven a poBslbllity of a Chi
nese republic Ho said tho pooplo
want a government like our own and
that Georgo Washington is the ideal
of the Chinese patriots
A Tribute to America.
"As I Bat In a great crowd at Chufu,"
said tho bishop, "listening to a Chin
ese orator stirring his people, I heard
not a name of an European statesman
or patriot, not a singlo mention of
China's great dead, but again and
again the name of George Washing
ton. China has paid America tho
highest compliment In her persistent
demand for a republic like our own."
