M0VEMENT8 OF TWO VETERANS
DEEMED ENCOURAGING
EARL ABBOTT COMING TODAY
Will Motor to Lincoln to Look Thing
Over Chamberlain's Father Is
Back from Canada Promising
Practice Yesterday
The sentiment of every football-loving
Husker to the effect that the team
cannot do without the services of the
veterans, Chamberlain and Abbott, has
brought a great deal of pressure to
bear upon these two stars of the Corn
busker constellation, and as a result,
done is becoming more and more opti
mistic day by day. The latest line on
the situation -was furnished by offi
cial heads last night, giving the infor
mation that Earl Abbott, the mainstay
of Nebraska's always dependable line,
will motor to Lincoln today to look
ever the situation. In regard to Cham
berlain, it was learned that Coach
Stiehm talked to the Gage county
phenom last night, with semi-satis
Tactorv results. The elder Chamber
lain has returned from Canada, but at
the time of the conversation, Guy had
not yet talked things over and couldn't
ven bint at the probable result
As usual, the supreme council views
these latest developments unemotion
ally. But members of the team and
some of the fans who bave followed
the situation closely, say they point to
the return of Abbott and Chamberlain.
Especially is the presence of the vet
eran, Abbott, in thcuJine essential to
Cornhusker success, and it is thought
that a close view of things, such as
will be given him today, will show
bim the wisdom of returning to school
this fall.
No Scrimmage Yesterday
The largest squad of the season
flocked to Antelope Park yesterday aft
ernoon for the fifth day's practice. Al
though the Freshman and Varsity
teams did not clash, the first and sec
ond elevens of first year's aspirants
indulged in two fierce scrimmages in
which the first team had the best of
it Three Varsity elevens spent the
evening in signal practice after a pep
ful session at charging and tackling.
The situation in the backfleld has
been clarified by the amazing offen
sive work of Herb Reese. Big and
strong, with lightning speed and an
-ability to skim close to the ground at
sixty per. he is the subject of lively
speculation at the hands of Husker
supporters. No chance has yet been
given him to show what he can do at
defensive half, where his lack of vet
eran knowledge will handicap .bim
more, but if the former track star can
develop as much skill In the waiting
position as he does at the attack, be
will make as brilliant a half as Ne
braska bas had in years.
Registration Larger by 267
The registration ofi students, ac
cording to the figures of Registrar
Greer, exceed those of last year 267.
There were 251 students registered
Monday. This brings the total num
ber registered to 2,571. compared with
2,304 registered during the same per
iod last year.
SCHUOL Or COMMERCE GROWING
Professor Bullock Added to Faculty
New Commercial Club President
to Be Elected
The enrollment in the School of
Commerce exceeded all expectations.
Usually there are two divisions in Ac
counting. This year two more divi
sions had to be formed.
The teaching corps of the Depart
ment of Economics has been increased
by one over last year. Professor
Bullock, instructor in Business Law
and Accounting, is the new member.
He is a graduate of Nebraska, receiv
ing his A. M. two years ago.
The University Commercial club
promises to be a very active associa
tion. The failure of Robert H. Van
Boskirk, '17, president of the club, to
return will necessitate the election of
a new president.
AMERICA MAKES WAR LOAN
About $800,000,000 to Be Undrewritten
By New Yerkera British and
French Bonds as Security
New York, September 20. The pro
posed mammoth loan to Great Britain
and France, it was reported tonight
Is to be underwritten by a large syn
dicate of American financiers and
bankers who are to receive a commis
sion for their services. The securi
ties offered, it was said, will be Brit
ish and French 5 per cent government
bonds and the price to the Investor
is to be at par.
The amount of the loan, it was re
ported, is yet undetermined, but will
be between $600,000,000 and $800,000,
000. Whether the munitions of war will
be included within the scope of the
proposed credit so far as could be
learned tonight has not been decided.
The underwriting syndicate, it was
reported, will be the largest of its
kind ever established in the United
States and probably be open to nearly
all national banks, trust companies
and state banks that may care to par
ticipate. While the amount of the commis
sion to be paid these banks was not
expressed in percentage, it is under
stood the profit will be a small one,
possibly to 1 per cent.
Victory for Big Bankers
Elimination of the differences of
opinion of the American financiers
and members of the Anglo-French
commission over the manner of plac
ing the loan apparently has resulted
in a victory for the American finan
ciers. Previous reports were to the
effect that the commission's views
were that the loan should be placed
by subscription and that there should
be no underwriting syndicate.
The American conferees were re
ported to favor adoption of a plan
whereby a syndicate would under
write the big issue and would receive
at least one-half of 1 per cent for Its
services.
Efforts to elicit an expression of the
commission's views on this part to
night were futile. The various mem
bers of the delegation have been
snendint the day out of town and it
was said at their hotel that some of
them were not expected to return un
til tomorrow.
So far as the plan now has devel
oped, it is the intention of the con
ferees, it is reported, to open tneir
books to virtually all banks who wish
to participate and to place the bonds
with any and all of them. prcKierman

BEING PROMOTED
AN INNOVATION AT NEBRASKA
"MEET" NOVEMBER 1
ALL CLASSES ARE ELIGIBLE
Meeting Thursday Morning at 11
O'Clock In Memorial Hall
Track Suits to Be Had .at
the Gymnasium
Track suits are now to be had at
the gymnasium by all desiring to take
u'd track work.
Fall track work is an innovation at
Nebraska, this being the first time
there has been any activity in this
line at this season.
A large number of men are already
out on the track and others bave re
ceived suits and will soon begin work
preparing for the big school meet,
November 1.
v All Freshmen, as well as upper-classmen,
are eligible to enter. The win
ners in this meet are to receive medals
and cups as prizes.
The movement for a successful fall
track meet has the support of Coach
Stiehm and Guy Reed. In order to
promote the undertaking and plan
for its success a meeting of those in
terested in the track has been called
for Thursday morning at 11 o'clock in
Memorial Hall, 102.
HITS BY BILLY SUNDAY
We talk about he non-churchgoers.
Talk rather about the non-going church
instead. We slander people when we
say that they do not want the religion
of God. They hate shame, the hypo
crisies, the caricatures they find in
the church; they do not hate Jesus
Christ.
The trouble with some of you is
that you are too stingy. You spend
thousands on your pleasure and then
come to church and drop in a penny.
Your prayers or anything you do
in the church on Sunday mean noth
ing if you don't do the same thing in
business on Monday.
It will not take the pure food law
to keep a man who truly prays "Thy
Kingdom Come" from putting chalk
in the flour, sand in the sugar, brick
dust in red pepper or ground peanut
6hells in breakfast food.
The preacher who prays "Thy King
dom Come" should not try to tickle
the palates of the giraffes and let the
sheep starve. His sermons will be a
reprint of the Bible and not of the
last novel.
Some fnen are so busy getting ready
to be angels they forget all about be
ing men. They are so busy figuring
on St Peter's ledger they forget their
own.
Personal liberty is the liberty of
the burglar or seducer or rapist or
the wolf that wants to remain in a
6heep fold or a weasel in a hen roost.
You bave no right to vote for aninsti
tution that is going to drag your sons
and daughters to bell. Personal lib-
eryt that's all the panderer, the se
ducer or the white slaver wants.
When a person's acts affect only
himself they can be left to the con
science of the individual, but when
will have to pay. shieh, it was said to
night will be at par.
The interest rate, it was understood.
has been agreed upon at 5 per cent.
NEW INSTRUCTOR
Professor Weaver Has Been Added
to Botany Staff Graduate
of Nebraska
Professor J. E. Weaver is a new in
structor in the Botany department.
He received his A. B. and M. A. de
grees in the University of Nebraska
and has had experience as a teacher
in the Lincoln high school, and as an
assistant in the Botany department of
this University. After taking special
work at the University of Chicago, he
accepted a professorship in Washing
ton State college, which he held for
two years. Last year Professor Weaver
was an Instructor in the University of
Minnesota.

So you haven't any right to live in
sin. You say you will do it anyhow
All right you will go to hell then.
I'm fighting to save your soul just
as a doctor fights to save your life
from a disease. I'm your friend. I
preach against anything that will
make your boy a drunkard or your
girl an outcast.
You say you're not afraid of sin.
You ought to be for your children.
We've got kinds that have not yet
sprouted long breeches who know
more about vice than Methusaleh.
What did Methusaleh know about
smoking cigarets?
You can hang out a sign of gentle
man, but when you cuss you might
as well take it in.
There isn't a fellow in this crowd
but what would be disgusted if his
wife or sister would cuss and bit the
booze like he does. If she would, he'd
go whining around for a divorce and
say he couldn't live with her. Why,
you dirty dog, she has to live with
you.
I suppose if the law against steal
ing was repealed and placed against
cussing, all of you would start to
steal.
If you're going 100 miles an hour
for God some one will follow you,
and if you're going to hell at the rate
of 80 miles an hour some one will fol
low you. Your life will be either an
influence for good or for damnation
with others about you.
Some of you sneer at a boy who is
tied to his mother's apron strings.
I tell you there is no better anchor
age on God's earth for a boy than that
mother's waist

I'll tell you what old Pilate was: He
was a standpat free lunch, tin horn,
peanut grafting, ward healing, weasel
eyed, rathole of a wisky soaked poli
tician. There are a lot of fools today who
are so lowdown and black hearted
that they let the world spit in the
face of Jesus Christ for fear of their
jobs.
It's the God-forsaken gang that
runs things today that are letting the
church go to the hell, not the com
mon people. I stand pat for Him
if I have to slap your face and you
and you and you.
Jesus was either the son of God
or the Bible isn't worth the paper it
is printed on.
There is no intermediate ground
between heaven and hell. You can
either reject or accept God. If you
do not accept Him you reject Him and
you go to hell. There is no halfway
house between these places.
I wouldn't have to leave Omaha to
find men vile enough to kill Jesus.
Perhaps I wouldn't even bave to leave
this tabernacle to find degenerates
who would do it
FOOTBALL GAMES
HEAR AT HAND
SUPPORT OF THE STUDNET BODY
IS ESSENTIAL
GET SEASON TICKETS NOW
Reservations Start Monday for the
Drake Game Notre Dame to
Be the Largest Attended
Contest
With the first game of the Husker
football season but a few days away,
every student would do well to provide
himself with a season ticket as soon
as possible. These are now on sale
at the Alumni Headquarters in the
southwest corner of the basement of
the Administration building, from 1 to
5 o'clock every day, except Saturdays.
The price is $4.00. Registration slips
must be shown at the time of pur
chase. ;
The need of purchasing a season
ticket cannot be emphasized too great
ly, not only as regards the ioyalty
shown thereby to the school, but also
as regards the saving in price. The
cost of attending the six football
games on single admission tickets
would be $7.00, $3.00 more than the
cost of the season ticket Besides ad
mitting to the six football games, it
also admits to all contests held under
the auspices of the Athletic Board, in
cluding six basketball games and two
track meets. Admission by single
tickets to all of these would cost
$11.00. Reservation will start next
Monday for the Drake game. All
holders of student tickets can reserve
a seat free for this and the Kansas
Aggie game.
The games this season will be pre
ceded by band concerts. Between the
halves a vaudeville show will be given.
Manager Guy Reed urges everybody,
to start the year right by buying a
ticket, thereby showing their loyalty
to both the team and the school.
The Cornhuskers have a good sched
ule this year, with several games that
promise to be very interesting. The
teams to be played this season at Lin
coln will be Drake, Kansas Aggies,
Washburn, Notre Dame, Wesleyan and
Iowa. The Iowa game will be home
coming game, which with the Notre
Dame game, will undoubtedly be the
best games on the schedule. The
prices of these two games alone would
be $3.00. Thus, why pay $3.00 for only
two games when $1.00 more would
buy a season ticket?
Librarians Change
Several changes have been made In
the librarian force. This year, Mar-
jorle Morse has Mrs. Meyers' position
at the loan desk. Miss Lois Moore
will have the position vacated by Miss
Adelaide Rood.
You may say that I am vulgar. But
what will you do with Jesus, not with
me, is the Question? I'm not the au
thor of the plan of redemption. If
I dont preach it woe is me; if you
don't accept It woe are yon.
If I were to preach against the
divinity of Jesus all the saloon keep
ers, madames in the red light district
and the libertines would say: 'Bill,
you are all right; go to if That's
enough to convince me that He U
the Son of God. . .
