SAYS CORPORATIONS RESPON

NO SPECIFIC ENEMIES KNOWN
Meeting in Chicago Wm Planned by
Corporation No Danger Ap
parent from Germany for
Many Years
That corporations manufacturing
munitions are responsible for the pres
ent agitation for national prepared
ness in this country, was the theme
of the address on "National Prepared
ness,, by Rev. C. L. Weatherly, pastor
of All Souls' church, Tuesday morn
ing at convocation.
Rev. Weatherly said that several
years ago, many magazines contained
articles declaring we were about to
be attacked by Germany and ihen
again by Japan. They averred that
the Japanese government was plan
ning for a naval base in Magdaline
Bay, on the Pacific coast. They said
there were several thousand ex-soldiers
of the Japanese army stationed
in the bay, but upon investigation it
was found that no battleship could
come within three miles of the land
because the bay is so shallow; there
were only two or three Japanese in
the town and a couple of stores were
owned by Japanese merchants in San
Francisco.
A year ago last September, a meet
ing was held in Chicago to arouse
public sentiment for increasing na
tional defense. No one knows who was
back of the movement, but it was
supposed it was corporations who
wen anxious to sell munitions to the
United States. This campaign was
aided by the whole eastern press. In
two leading organizations in Amer
ica, which advocated increased expen
ditures there were seventeen men who
were connected with large corpora
tions manufacturing munitions. That
they would endeavor to bring about
war so they sell their products is rea
sonable. All this is in accordance
with experience of mankind," said
Rev. Weatherly.
From 1905 to 1908, makers of bat
tleships in England carried on a cam
paign with corporation money, to con-
vinr-A thA nAonle that the country
battleships. Even
the children sang the song, "We will
have eight, and we won't wait." When
the contracts were made, the presi
dent of a corporation that did not
get a contract revealed the fact that
the people had been deceived.
"Where is the corporation in this
state that will not look out for its
own interests?" asked Rev. Weather
ly. "Any corporation is willing to
spend its own money to arouse sent
iment favorable to its interests.
There are two magazines owned by
corporations manufacturing munitions
and published for the purpose of
arousing sentiment favorable to them.
"All preparedness for war rests on
an assumption." No one who advo
cates adequate defense dares to get
up and tell what he argues for is
less than adequate, when he cries for
a few ships and guns. It would take
billions to defend our coast line.
But before this defense can be
brought about, the American people

GIRLS' HOCKEY CONTEST
Public la Invited to Witness the Con
test Between the Two Class
Teams on Athletic Field
The match game in Girls' field hock
ey, between the upper and lower class
men teams is scheduled for 3 o'clock
Friday afternoon, November 12th, on
the Athletic field. The public is in
vited to watch the contest.
Field hockey has been played by
the University of Nebraska girls for
several seasons, but the public has
never been invited to see the sport.
For the first time the Girls' Athletic
department are giving the opportunity
to University men and women to Bee
the white cricket ball dance about the
field. Many team plays have been
worked out, which are as conspicuous
from the bleachers as the shift plays
and forward passes at the football
games. Rooting for the teams will be
appreciated.
Miss Carol White, who is now in
California, has written her Lincoln
friends telling them of her approach
ing marriage to Crawford Mortenson,
of Ord, Nebr. The wedding is to take
place Thanksgiving day in Los An
geles, where Miss White recently join
ed her. mother, Mrs. C. C. White, who
is spending the winter there. Both
the young people are well known in
Lincoln. Miss White was a student at
the University and a member of the
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Mr.
Mortenson was also a student here,
and is the son of the late Peter Mor
tenson, former state treasurer.
SPECIAL TRAIN TO LAWRENCE
Cast, as Far as Possible, to Be Com
posed of Members of Junior Class
Must Advance Expenses
Careful plans have already been be
gun for the Junior play, to be given
sometime after Christmas. The exact
Hate has not yet been set. Since there
is much dramatic talent in the Junior
ill fid that the cast
ClaoOf i "
should be ,in so far as possible, strict
Ixr .Tnnior.
The play has not yet been selected
w it is the Dlan to get a light come
rtv. nrobably a college play of interest
to students and not uninteresting to
nt ViAfH.
vvhAn the idea of a Junior class
night was first conceived, it consisted
merely of a program resembling tnai
f th annual University night. Soon
a single good play took the place of
the "stunt program" ana nine
tion has been shown to give up the
custom established.
The University authorities,"however,
have forbidden the play to be staged
unless sufficient finances are advanced
to cover expenses for it lowers the
dignity of both class and school to
support a losing proposition. It will
then be necessary for all Juniors to
work In co-operation and see that the
undertaking is carried through suc
cessfully and creditably.

EIGHTH BEETHOVEN THURSDAY
Symphony Series are Alternating with
the Folk Songs for Convo
cation Periods
Symphony with strings and organ
Viae nirendv heen announced. Stu
dents of last year will remember that
the first seven of the nine Beethoven
BvmDhonies were played throughout
the year, the seventh being repeated
by the Damrosch orchestra. This pro
cram "will be the second of the sym
phonic series which are alternating
with the folk song programs.. This
svmDhony was written four months
after the seventh and although com
posed during the most troublesome
period in Beethoven's life, Is never
theless one of the most Joyous, in
deed it is so cheerful and houmorous
that it does not even contain a slow
movement. Beethoven himself called
it the "little symphony in F.
The Allegretto movement, as a sep
arate movement, is said to be one of
the most popular of all his works. Its
nrineiDal motive was extemporized by
Beethoven in a jovial mooa at a uiuu
given to Malzel, inventor of the me
tronome. It was set to tne woras,
"Ta, ta, ta, lieber Malzel, lebewhal,
lebewahl." The third movement is
a minuet in F developed to a perfec
tion characteristic of Beethoven. The
fourth movement is a jubilant finale.
The whole symphony is pervaded by a
spirit of joy and humor. Grove says:
1 ! let
"It may not touch the extreme bcikuv,
and depths of the spirit as some of
the nine do, but it has its own place
in the circle which nothing else can
fill; and if the outward result is an
index of the inward mind. It is pleas
ant to think that Beethoven when he
wrote it must have been very happy.

at last Kansas firmly believes they

"Jumbo" Stiehm took over the han

Jayhawkers are not vainly hoping for
victory they are preparing for it.
The school has faith in the ability
of Chauncey "Beau" Olcott to stop
the string of Nebraska victories and
give Kansas the first valley title they
have had since 1910. Although the
coach and his retinue are leary of
comparative scores, the studenty body
points with optimistic finger at the
respective scores of the two schools
against Washburn; Nebraska, witn
regulars fighting most of the engage
ment, defeated the Ichabods, 47-0;
Kansas using a string of fifteen sub
