HIXEIIBAUGII BACK; TELLS OF MISSION TME ALONE WILL PROVE FORD'S 8UCCE83 All Europs Interest In ths Party Treatment Fins Ford Is Sincere That the Henry Ford peace mission accomplisned something for the cause of peace in Europe, although time alone will tell how much, is the opin ion of Walter Hixenbaugh of Omaha, one of Nebraska university's two stu dents who were members of the party. Hixenbaugh reached Lincoln yester day afternoon prepared to resume his university studies. The trip to Europe has been one of his most pleasant-and 1 profitable experiences, he says. "All that it was intended for us to accomplish was to crystalize the peace jentiment in Europe. Hixenbaugh said, "and we succeeded in a measure in doing that. The' slogan, 'All of the boys out of the trenches by Christ mas' was adopted merely to arouse interest, and it had this result at least, that on Christmas . day everybody thought about peace." Henry Ford Sincere Henry Ford was characterized as a gentle, kindly man, and a very good friend to have, and as one absolutely sincere in his motives, "All were impressed with his sincerity." "Ford was Bick on the boat, and did not take an active part in our delibera tions, being represented by his secre tary. He did not make a single speech. Whether Illness was the real reason for his leaving the party I don't know and even those closest to Ford do not know. I think Ford was too optimistic, and that those like Madame Schwlmmer who talked to him before we left America, gave him- too much to hope for.'' Students Support Wilson When the battle over the resolution condemning President Wilson's pre paredness policy broke forth on the ship, the student representatives, ac cording to Hixenbaugh, signed a reso lution opposed to any such action, oil the grounds that the peace mission was international, and that national or purely American affairs should not enter Into the discussions. The day after the fracas, however, Ford wrote a. personal letter to each member of the party, with the result th&t most of them signed the con demnatory resolution. The result was that there was a feeling of discord and internal dissension all the way over, Hixenbaugh declared, although' the delegates worked well enough together when they were In Europe. "The mass meetings In Europe were very well attended, and fully came up to expectations," declared the student "One of the most powerful Scandi navian papers openly sided with us. Everybody was interested, and we were treated courteously, although we re ceived absolutely no official recogni tion." The car in which the delegates rode through Germany on their way to The Hague was not sealed, asserted Hixen taugh, although the delegates were not permitted to alight "We made Just one stop at Hamburg, while ot German soil. The German treated us fine, mnch better than the English.

REGISTRATION FOR CHORUS STILL OPEN "Samson and Delilah" to be Sung at May Festival Chorus registration Is still open and no additional fee is charged for stu dents who wish to register now. Re hearsals are held in Art hall on Mon day, Wednesday and Friday evenings of each week at 5 o'clock. A special rehearsal at 7 o'clock Monday evening, is held for students who cannot prac tice at the regular hour, Monday and Wednesday. Information regarding registration can be obtained at the Registrar's office. "Samson and Delilah" will be given by the chorus, during the May Festival. Leadine Darts will be taken by pro fessional singers and a large orchestra will accompany. A free ticket, to both numbers Riven by the Damrosch orchestra, will be given each member of the chorus. AMES FIVE MEET IIUSKERSTHIS WEEK The race for the basketball cham pionship of the Missouri valley, which Is now lying between Missouri, Kan sas Aggies and Nebraska, will be cleared up considerably when Ne braska takes on Ames for two games next Friday and Saturday nights. The Ames team has three veter ans in its lineup, while Its two new members thus far have proven stars. Ames broke even with Kansas not long ago and were beaten twice by comparatively low scores by Missouri. It is doubtful If Captain Hugg will be able to play on account ot an In jured knee. The Nebraska lineup, therefore, has not been decided upon. Since Nebraska does not meet MIs Bourl this year the results of these games will be valuable In determining the standing and relative strength of the two teams. The Ames lineup will probably be: Holmes, center; Sweeney, left for ward; Boynton, left guard; Bragdon. right guard: and Aldrich. right forward. CARNEGIE GIVES UNIVERSITY $250 ENDOWMENT FUND FOR 8UMMER 8E88ION COUR8E8 Professors Jones and Persinger Will Give Work on 8outh America and Foreign Relations Nebraska university will receive from the Carnegie endowment $250 to spend upon a course in international relations and in South American af fairs during the coming summer ses sion. This is the announcement made to Chancellor Avery In a letter re ceived from Leon Fraser of the Amer ican Association for International Conciliation. The chancellor has written in reply, suggesting that the money be divided equally between Professors Persinger and Jones, and that the former give the South American course, and the latter the one on international affairs Professor Persinger has made two trips to South America for purposes of study, and Professor Jones has been in the habit of spending his sura mers in Europe, until the war broke out. Professor Persinger stated to a Ne braskan reporter yesterday afternoon that he would include In his course a brief study of Latin-American his tory and relations, and a more detailed study of present day Latin-American Institutions, conditions and opportuni ties. Professor Jones' course on interna tional relations will Include a study of events leading up to the present war, based as far as possible on official correspondence and documents. Re cent diplomatic history of world-wide interest will be the feature of the course. PRIZES OFFERED FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS - A competitive campaign for subscriptions to the Daily Ne braskan will be inaugurated next week. Definite announcement of rules will be made later, but it can be said now that attractive Inducements will be made to con testants. The Nebraskan. earnest ly desiring to take rank as a real college dally, is suffering from a lack of student support. The subscription list now, to be brutally frank, is but half of that of last semester. The sub scription campaign next week will be a live one, and the work ers will win.

This Indi cates more class pictures than have ever before appeared In a Nebraska Annual, and that sounds well for the ultimate success of the book. With better paper, better printing and better binding, this better co operation on the part of the students in general, makes a combination that insures the "best Cornhusker ever for this year. . It is to be hoped that the few Indi viduals and organizations whose pic tures have not been taken will make arrangements for them at once for the closing dates are near; day after tomorrow for individuals, and February 19th for organizations. VALUES FLEAS AT 500 DOLLARS Is a flea valuable? People as a rule know it Is useful to make dogs remember they are dogs but nobody ever thought of fleas as valuable, Yet a Chicago man figures that his are worth $500 and has sent a detec tive to find the animals. Possibly a dog catcher would have a better chance of securing the runaways but he of course is not well versed In tracing stolen property. Imagine a poor dog being tormented Kir twiiimtori flfls. not common hop- Uj . pers but Intelligent sexpeds trained to . .. ... j ,da tricks. That s wnai nappeneu m Chicago. A man had a herd of trained fleas which he exhibited in a circus and some canine ran away with the whole lot Therefore it Is up to all lovers or the canines in Windy City to find out by combing their pets if they harbor some of the elusive Gois. There's $500 In it Accord ing to latest reports the detective Is hot upon their trail. UNIVERSITY AIDS SUCCESS!! DRAMA 80 DECLARES MR8. CHARLES COBURN, ACTRE88 One of America's Greatest Needs is Emotional Cultivation By Marguerite Kauffman. 'A university education is most Im portant for success In dramatics," said Mrs. Charles Coburn. as she talked enthusiastically of her work yesterday afternoon to a Daily Ne braskan reporter. She was dressed In the native costume of the Chinese woman and It was hard to believe that she was not Chinese herself. When Bhe spoke, however, the fact that she is a real American was made more striking by the contrast of her foreign garb. Mrs.. Coburn is a charming and well educated woman and is deeply interested in all college and university students. She seemB to feel a bond of unity with them for in reality both are working toward the same end life and culture. She believes that It is beneficial for all students to study the drama and, if possible, take some dramatic train ing. "The value of this is inestimable," said Mrs. Coburn, as she arranged the bowing sleeves of her black Chinese costume, "for not only is the stand ard of the community in appreciation of better art, and the standard and reputation of the profession raised, but it develops In the student self-confi dence, and that which every person longs to possess the ability to ex press his emotions as he feels them. Inspiration Ten Per Cent "The actor is not always born so," she continued, warming to her sub ject. "He must have, perhaps, ten per 'cent of natural Inspiration, but without ninety per cent of thought and hard work, he will gain nothing.' Mrs. Coburn said that we are a restrained people and one of our great est needs is the cultivation and ex pression of our emotions. "The nation needs the drama, and it is our mission to give It," she said with a characteristic little gesture showing the Intensity of her feeing In the matter. "The profes sion of the actor is an exalted one, for it shows people life, and thereby helps them to live." This purpose seems to be the key note of Mrs. Coburn's life as an actress, and shows what an influence for good she is exerting upon the drama of today. The Coburn players are the only repertoire school of dramatics In the United States, and in Mrs. Co burn's estimation, such a school is the only real way to train proficient actors. University Commercial Club A report on what Men's unions have done at other schools will be read at this afternoon's meeting of the Uni versity Commercial club. The report ing committee has collected data from all the leading universities in the United States and promises very In teresting information. All students are invited to attend this meeting. Seven Dollars Raised Tkn ,r.mA made candy sale at the T. W. C. A. yesterday netted about $7, which will be spent for subscriptions for magazines for the reading rwm. (Continued on page 4.)
