at Present Time
England is the only nation in the
present war that recruits its army
from volunteers, all the other nations
using conscription, said Mr. R. L. Ew
lnr formerly secretary of the Uni
versity Y. M. C. A., who has been
engaged in Y. M. C. A. work m tn
war prison camps the past year, in
speaking at Convocation on "Recruit
ing." "Although England has about 3,000,-
' 000 volunteers already in the ranks,
the volunteer service is hanging in
the balance, for Great Britain is
ereatlv in need of recruits. When you
have enlisted all the ne'er-do-wells,
the criminals, the semi-criminals and
fhnse true citizens who have heard
their country's call, you have enlisted
about all the volunteers in a coun
try." That took Dlace some time ago, and
since then England has embarked
upon a systematic advertising cam
paign to get more men to enlist. Mr.
Ewing showed about forty of the two
hundred posters used by the English
government in this sort of publicity
The posters appealed to the citizens'
love of country, home and flag and
called on them to protect the institu
tions they hold most dear.
The initiative and patriotism found
in a volunteer camp is much more no
ticeable than that found in a camp

In which the soldiers have been draft
ed. The speaker, however, Bald that
he feared England would soon be un
der the necessity of resorting to con
scription, for the army is not getting
the number of recruits demanded by
the leaders.
In closing, Mr. Ewlng said: "I don't
care which side wins in this war."
Let's not, however, speak lightly of
this conflict, for something terrible Is
happening; someth'ag great is hap
pening, and I honestly believe that
after it is all over that mankind will
have learned lessons which will be of
lasting benefit.

XANTIPPE SHOWN
AT TEMPLE FRIDAY
MUCH TALKED OF PLAY WILL BE
PRESENTED AT THAT TIME
NOW PLAYING IN LONDON

Laughing During Play
"Two solid hours of laughs.''
This was the verdist of New York
when "Believe Me, Xantippe," appear
ed there last year. The New York
Sun went on to say "those who see
it will send their friends and will go
a second time themselves." Those
who were fortunate enough to see
this play last week were the first to
order tickets for Friday night's per
formance.
The story of the play is somewhat
absurd. George McFarland, alias Mac
Ginnis apartment has been robbed
He thinks the strong arm of the law
is paralyzed" and to prove that he is
correct makes a bet of $30,000 that
he can commit a crime and escape the
officers of the law for a year. He
succeeds in getting caught by a sher
iff's daughter, not an officer of the
law. Still he thinks he is going to
Sine Sinsr. He learns by wire that
his two friends have been drowned in
the Atlantic. Of course, he loses his
nerve lust at that point and reveals
his identity. "The jig is up," for his
friends come to life and discover that
they have been victims of a woman s
whim. '
Mr. Ballard says that the charac
ters in this play are actual people
whom he met while homesteading m
the west. Dolly Kamman used to come
to see him when he lived forty-three
miles from the railroad. The trutn
a th real Dolly was a sheriff's daugh
ter and pulled much the same prank
that she does in the show. Air. iai

Kamman." and he aimed to feature the
great, brave, hospitable womanhood ou
our western frontier civilization.
