OF PROFESSOR FLING MAKES A MOST IMPRESSIVE SPEECH. IMPERIALISM ROOT OF WAR Speaker Takes Issue With President Wilson Calls It the First Real , World. War Blames Germany. .Nona of llProt. jFirng'syadinlrers were disappointed Vesterday at convocation when he gave hlsl lecture on the elg 'niflcance of the present European war. perhaps no speaker on the campus so steadily draws a crowd' both from the students and from the business men of Lincoln. Both galleries were .packed' as was the main floor. Prof. Fling from thie very beginning "arraigned the German government as la selfish power, carrying out the im perialistic policies of the Middle Asres: the policies of (Napoleon Hot emphasized "that the war going on tbday is the first world war. Never before has the world been a contem porary to such a struggle." President "Wilson's recommendation that "neutrality be extended to the in dividual," Invoiced warm criticism. "The Issues involved concern all human, society. And we are today a part of this great world society. Ger many Is on the wrong side of the issues.!' - - The Issue is Nationality. On the one side militarism and imperialism stand as relics of the .Middle Ages, on the other Russia and the Allies, who stand for nationalism and the independence of Seryia. Germany stands for allowing Austria to destroy the nationalism otServia. She stands for colonial expansion by the seizure of French Colonies and the destruction of their nationality. She has already destroyed the nationality of Belgium. This imperialistic policy disregards nationality and neutrality. Belgium neutrality was merely "paper," Professor Fling emphasized his ar gument by quoting Dante's 'Inferno. "Neither for God, nor against Him, simply for ourselves." He deplored the destruction of the treasures of Louvaine, and the enormous loss of young men, but at th same time he "said, "Let there me no compromise,. Let us carry it to the end; get a solu tion. Let this be the death of Milltar lsm(hea reorganize the syftem oMhe world. This thing will then mark a ! sew era for future geenratlons." I V. M. C. A.

GLASS POLITICS TAKE DEFINITE FORM Lanz the Only Candidate In Junior Class Harney Lone Man In Sophomore Class. A general survey of the political situation up to this time makes it pos sible to name but seven candidate for the leading offices In the different classes. As announced some time ago Captain "Vic" Halligan Is in the lime light for leadership of the Senior class as is also "Bob" Barley, the candidate whose platform isi said to be on an "absolutely fair and square, no graft, basis with absolutely no election prom ises." The Junior class has but one repre sentative in the field in the person of John E. Lanz. This being 'Lanz' .first definite announcement it may be well to mention that he has been an active worker in his class ajad in student activities. Lanz was a member of the Freshman cap .and color committee, chairman of the Freshman Ivy Day committee and a member of the Sophc more hop committee. It has been rumored that "Bob" Talbot is to run but nothing definite has been learned to date. The announcement In regard to the candidacy of Harney for the chair of honor in the Sophomore class, made several days ago seems to be the only one In order in that class. The announcemnt of "Jack" Lyons as candidate for Freshman president made in the Nebraskan yesterday speaks for Itself.

FROM THE WAR War Partially Spoiled His Trip But He Returned Uninjured Says England is Serious. Professor Buck, the genial head of the Rhetoric department, returned, to Lincoln last week, after a short vaca tion, spent in and about London, Eng land, and has now resumed charge of his classes. Prof. Buck left on the last day of July and It was while he was on the water that the great war which now involves the nations of Europe was declared. His Intention had been to spend ,p'art of the time sight-seeing on the continent. "The English take the war quite seriously," said the professor. "Yet are confident that they will win. Busi ness continues uninterruptedly in Lon don, although the stock exchange is closed. In regard to the British forces, there are really three, armies at pres ent under the colors. There is one on the continent. The other two are still in England, and consist of nion re cruited some time ago, now In training at garrisons in different parts of Eng land and also in the crown's colonial possessions, and the thousands Of raw recruits. When the men now at the garrisons are removed to the conti nent, should the movement prove nec essary, the large army of raw recruits will be divided and sent to different parts of the country for the training required before actual service. Al though no system of compulsory ser vice is in use in England, there is no lack of men, and the enlistment offices are daily handling their full capacity." Professor Buck returned to Montreal September 22, and took the St Law rence river route so popular with tour ists. He thoroughly enjoyed his vaca tion but says he was as tired after wards as he used to be when he had finished reading a dozen Freshman Rhetoric -papers.

ENDS BADLY NEEDED STIEH.M STAGES SHAKEUP IN EFFORT TO FIND MATERIAL. HALLIGAN IN THE BACKFIELD Men Being Put Through Harder Scrim mage Each Night as the Date For the Opening Game Draws Nearer. By H. I. Kyle. The Cornhusker coaching staff is bending every energy, these days, to ward the developing of ends. In his efforts to find men who can handle the outside stations satisfactorily, Coach Stiehm has staged a general shake-up in the line-up. Captain Haligan has ' been shifted to right half-back, while "Con" Wilson Is being tried out for an out post Job. Amack, who has been understudying the fullback position, is also being given a chance at end. Pat iNorris, who up to now has been playing end, Is filling the tackle hole left vacant by the mighty Halligan, and is doing a very neat Job of it conr sidering his weight, which is only 174 pounds. "Lum" Doyle plays left half back. Rutherford Is getting his ankle in condition. In the absence of War ren Howard, Hawkins, the doughty little captain of this year's basket ball team, called the plays last night from the quarterback position. He played a peppery game and will become a valuable man if he can overcome a slight weakness in handling punts. The toe work of the team will be taken care of by Halligan while How ard is out of the game. Although the famous spirals of the Omaha star will be sadly missed, the captain is no mean booter himself and his work In that line will render it unnecessary for the coach to develop a punter at y this late day. 1 With Cameron at center, flanked by Abbot and Shields, the team has 9 middle combination that is bound to give its opponents trouble to say the least. Nothing that the second string were able to uncork got farther than a poor start in that direction. Not much worry need be felt over the tackle positions while Corey and Norrls are playing the style of football they dis played Jast night The giant Corey is unusually active, considering his size, as the scrub back field will testify. Coming back to where we started . from, the big uncertainty Is the ends. Heretofore the tall tutor has never failed to make good in emergencies like this and it is a good bet that he'll find the men to fit the Job If there are any. Agricultural Engineers' Notice.
